BULLIONS OF DAYS LOST - A large western corporation which employs continuously 1282 of fice workers has, figured out from its records that the average clerk, loses 8.15 days a year through illness. This supports the estimate made by the Federated American En gineering Societies that the 42,000,000 men and women gain fully employed in the United States probably lose - on the average more than eight days each annually from disabilities resulting from illness. '4 ' - The total number of days lost by the 42,000,000 men and women workers is 342,300,000. This is 937,808 years. This is an Impressive period oltime; one of the estimates scien tists have made; as to the age, of mankind put the appear-; ance of the first type of man on earth at Z50,000 years ago If this mformed guess be approximately accurate, illness causes annually the loss to American men and women work crs of nearly four times as many years as the race has spent lit reaching its present stage of development. : Whatever age is assigned to mankind, the tremendous tax illness among workers lays on capital, on labor, on personal savings and on national wealth needs, however, no compan son 10 maxe eviaenu The May Festival will ' show ? that Saletm is a growing ; musical center, a distinction in which there'will be found; both cultural pleasure and commercial protit. nations into a closer understand- Europe can exist without Russia, ing.

The torch of peace emitted but a fitful flame. In place of bringing all the peo ples together. I of establishing closer' industrial1 and trade rela tions, of inaugurating a movement for general disarmament, it; has left Europe separated Into hostile camps. There is an evident dis position to return to the, old and baneful poller of maintaining a "balance of power. .-'toK t Reading the record, one' reach es the conclusion thaV Russia and Germany, did. not . attend the conference in good faith. The Intent of the delegations of those : v countries seems to have ' been to divide ' Europe, not to consolidate it. They did not conduct themselves In a man ner calculated to inspire faith in their sincere desire that all the peoples of Europe should hence forth live in amity; and the hopes of those who envisioned a united and peaceful Europe hare been rudely shattered. ' Russia and Germany negotiated a separate treaty at a conference where all nations were in 'honor bound not to make private pacts Such an., action .was. regarded by the other nations in the nature of Cohihevlk'deiegatlerir assumed the the soviet government of Russia.

Friends of European peace In the conference, however, refused to give up all hope. In the words of the Italian premier, "the torch of peace has not teen extinguish ed. It has been passed on to The Hague." Russia is to have anoth er chance. The" nations ' repre sented at Genoa will meet again at The Hague, on June 15. The light of tolerance and forebear- ance will be kept burning, while the Russian government has an opportunity to consider what (he end will be if Russia is to be iso lated from the rest of Europe. The friends of peace are hoping, perhaps against hope, that, seeing the futility of their threats, the sia, it was hopeless for her, what ever her government, to expect to extricate herself from the pit of squalid misery without assistance. He said three courses are open- first, force, which has failed; sec ond, leave her to her fate; and for the. third he did not answer. Evidently leaving that to the fu ture. As to The Hague conference, Lloyd George concluded: "I am very hopeful that when they come down to examination of political propositions something will be achieved."

They will be as Islands, yet hav ing no soil. They will be as a floating hotel with a vast landing surface aloft. Each will also be lighthouse and a wireless sta tion. There will be machine shops and unlimited fuel supplies. There will be motor -boats and hydro-1 planes for relief and patrol serv ice. Steamships may call or tie up in case of need. There will be stations for the convenience of every globe-girdler. They should make aerial navigation profitable.

TAKING HIS TIME Georges Clemenceau, the great war premier of France, is taking his time on his "memoirs." He smilingly explains that he will have the first chapter ready in about three years. As he is ap proaching his 85th year, it looks as if he were expecting to con tinue his labors well up towards the century point in his remark able career.

The Pomonk rirer was a laty sort of t8treani. not very deep, that wandered along just outside of Sttdting.

They took, with them some provisions. intending to stay until late and rook their own suppers. As usual. Jack did the rowing and carried the food. He was a quiet, slen der boy who trailed about after the bold, dashing Newt like a willing slave. "Gee. this place is muddy, said Newt, when they' landed "The spring rains ' haven't ' been eff very long. I ray." Jack, let's play 'desert island.,. I'm Robin son Cruso, and you're Man Fri day.

"The boat's gone." "Sure It is," said Newt easily, with a flash in his daring eyes. "What's a desert island it you've got a boat?, I . let it. drift. It'll catch down on the bar above the bend.
