Without or with offense to friends or foes I sketch your world exactly as it goes." Byron ; The World's Court " Great Britain Tuesday subordinated itself to compulsory Jurisdiction of the permanent court of international justice, known as the World Court and stands pledged to accept sum mons before that tribunal at the behest of any other nation al member for the settlement of international disputes. The ratification was accomplished by the votes of Laborites and Liberals. The ratification of the Root protocol, whereby the United Btates adheres to the Court, already accepted by President Hoover, will shortly be before the Senate and promises to produce another of the many absurd battles watred by irreconciliablcs against American participation in world affairs in the interest of peace. Two Republican presidents have urged the World Court upon the Senate. Republican leaders, such a3 Root, Taft and Hughes have strenuously advocated it. It has been pledged in two Republican platforms. Mr. Hoover will be the third Republican president asking ratification. The overwhelm ing sentiment of the people and most of the press favor it. The Republican party, through platforms, is pledged to it and is in control of the Senate. So its passage ought to be easily accomplished. As a matter of fact, the leaders of both Senate Republi can factions are against the President on this party pledge, are violently and unreasonably opposed to it and willing to go to almost any length to defeat it. Old Guard leaders, such as Moses, Bingham and Watson unite with Progressives like Borah, LnFollette, Johnson and Norris to shudder at inter national ghosts. And the strongest effort to defeat the mea sure comes from the Ku Klux Klan which helped Hoover carry the southern states. Probabilities arc the World Court will be ratified in the Senate, but it will only be because of solid Democratic sup port against the Old Guard, Progressives, and Klan that united to make Mr. Hoover president. For the World Court, originally the creation of Woodrow Wilson, has also received the endorsement of the Democratic party in three platforms and moreover has. had consistent Democratic support in the genate. Psittacosis .The ban on the importation tf parrots promulgated by 'President Hoover because of psittacosis, the mysterious malady supposed to be spread by the birds, will meet with general approval, not because it may avert an epidemic, but localise, as a neighborhood nuisance, the parrot ranks along with the -loud-speaker and protest is even more impotent. Laws are pasd against the loud-speaker but the parrot is allowed to squawk and screech throughout the day at his own sweet will. So any move looking to curtailment of tfie nuisance is welcomed. Psittacosis is no new disease. It was first recognized in 1879 by Ritter in Germany, but in the interval since has claimed few victims. Nelson's medical encyclopedia states that in 1891 the disease was introduced into France by birds from Argentina. Shortly afterwards 40 known cases, with 16 deaths, occurred in Paris, and for several years afterward smaller outbreaks took place. Direct association with par rots, was proved. In 1891, there was an outbreak of psittacosis in Italy, following the importation of parrots from South America. The same year there were three cases reported in New Hampshire. Sporadic cases have been reported since. . Though knowledge of the disease is limited, it is believed caused by a definite germ "bacillus psittacosis" associated with the "pastearella group" which is responsible for blood loisoningr in birds and animals. The disease resembles a malignant paratyphoid in which occur symptoms akin to neumonia and when it breaks out it is speedily and vicious y fatal. It may be caused by a direct infection, as by a per son kissing an infected bird, or indirectly, by cleaning a bird's cage. The disease is very rare and there is no occasion for nervousness among parrot owners. There are over 300 varieties of parrots and only those Imported from certain countries have been found infected. Butter Surplus For some years now many newspapers have been shout ing that the salvation of the farmer consisted in dairying and there has been a persistent campaign waged through press, creameries, chambers of commerce and the Oregon Agricultural College to induce the farmer to expand this phase of agriculture. Yet dairymen throughout the land are complaining of Iho condition of the industry, demanding high tariffs and other panaceas, because there is a surplus of products that causes low prices. The editor of the Pacific Homstead, long one of the persistent champions of dairy expansion, writes : The dairymen In and around Salem are faced with a critical condi tion. Butter-fat prices aro so low that even the most efficient dairy is brine; operated at a loss. The curtailment of it has already seriously effected some lines of business. The use of butter substitutes is blamed by some. Increased production during the summer, which butter Is now In storage. Is another cause. ( The remedy. Elmlnatlon of low producing, unprofitable cows is the duty of every farmer. The use of more butler In the home is the solution tor the housewife. According to government reports, the low price of but ter is due principally to the increasing use of butter substi tutes, for the consumption of butter has decreased in exactly the same ratio that the consumption of oleomargarine and other substitutes have increased. And this increase in the use of substitutes is almost wholly in the country districts, us the cities continue their normal consumption of butter. iThe farmer therefore, sells his cream for butter, but instead Of buying his own butter back, buys the cheaper substitute, thereby culailing the market and lowering the price of his own product. A tariff on copra and other ingredients of butter substi tutes, by making them cost more, may increase the use of butter, but any benefit to the farmer will be offset because of the increased cost to him of butter substitutes, through which he has economized. He will therefore pay his own tariff in increased cost of living to balance any increase in market value of his products. That is the way the tariff Usually works. MOVIES' INFLUENCE ON SLEEP STUDIED Columbus, Ohio (JP) Study of the effect of "western" movies upon the .sleep of children has been started at Ohio State university by Dr. Edgar Dale, professor of psychology. He is studying also the tvpe of re-. action produced by war films. These two researches are part of general investigation to learn ef fects of movies on children. The research is financed bv the Payne Fund, New York, and the psychology departments of two oth- Amencan universities, not yet announced, n ill participate in the Investigations.

Students in Essays Point Out Benefits of Thrift During Life Wise heads on young shoulders is demonstrated in the three prize winning essays entered in the junior high school division of the thrift contest conducted by the Salem teach ers' council. The contest closed ft Friday and prize winners were named Tuesday by the Judges In the essay division, Julia Webster and Grace Gilliam. "Thrift Is the earning out of a program for life that wlU satisfy us when the program Is complete. and will satisfy us in the day by day execution of It," Is the sage remark of Mary Elizabeth Kells of Leslie Junior high school, In her prize winning essay on My Idea 01 Thrift." Everything of value, such as health, time, and money, are worth saving," states the winner of the first prize essay, who Is also the daughter of C. A. Kells, Y. M. C. A. secretary. "Everyone wants to be Healthy. The time to form good habits Is when we are young. If we don't take care of our teeth, tor instance, our whole system Is likely to be out of order. We should brush our teeth at least twice a day. This is thrifty because If we don't our teeth decay; we get sick and can not work, then we want to know the cause. We go to the doctor. He traces our illness back to our teeth. The money which he, charges for telling us this, with' the dentist's fee, could have been saved bv Drac- ticing this good health habit. This Is very precious. We must use It as it passes, for It cannot be restored ... If we have a purpose In life we learn more easilv to do without that which ts unnecessary,' and we soon learn to conserve those things that are worth while. Thrift Is the conservation of time, health, and wealth. It Is also the ability to spend wisely. A person of good judgment practices tlirllt. To John Hanson. second prize In the essay contest, for Junior high school students, thrift means the elimination of waste in time, opportunity, energy, thought and actions. It means efficient earning, wise spending, systematic saving and secure In vesting, states the Leslie Junior high school student. 'Many be lieve that thrift denotes stinginess, but It does not." he further states. "Thrift is not niggardliness or stint in the necessities and the aane en joyment of life. It has nothing In common with the miserly acquisi tion of money for Its own sake. If there ore nice things you want to buy. and they are necessary, buy them: but do not squander your money." Margaret Doege. who wrote the essay that won the third prize in the junior high school thrift con test, tells of two kinds of thrift, thrifty saving and thrifty spend ing. True thrift, according to Mar garet, Is the saving of what you can spare now until that time when you shall be able to use it to the best advantage.

THE CATS' MEETING "Ladles and gentlemen of the no. ble cat family," began the cat who was making the speech, "we are gathered here to make our plans for the future. This is the first blr meeting ever held by cat. To be sure there have been cats before now ana tney nave set us a line example. "It is because of their example that we wish to do everything ot which they may feel proud. The members of our family have been lazy. They have always chosen the most comfortable places in which to sit and in which to sleep, "They have shown that they were worthy of having others do a great deal for them. When the sun has been shining they have sat in the warm sunshine, and when it has not been shining they have chosen as warm a spot as they could find. "They have always gone in for comfort and Tor laziness. Now that is an example for us to follow so we will never disgrace the short but noble name of cat." All the cats me-owed at that and waved their whiskers and bunked their eyes as though to show how fine they thought the speech waa which the cat speaker was making. John and Peggy and the Little Black Clock sat and listened. The cats did not notice them. They were too busy with their meeting. And then and there all the rats agreed that they would be as lazy as they could be all their lives. To be sure they would catch mice but that, they said, would be a pleasure. But they agreed to take all the comforts they could In life and al low themselves to be petted and spoiled without showing too much devotion and without spoiling those who petted them Tomorrow: "Another Cat Speaks. LICKS HANDICAP; FINDS HAPPINESS; THANKS PAL'S TIP Canadian Scottish War Vet Badly Wounded. Builds Happy Home After All PRIVATE LOUGIINAN'S story is a simple one, after all. He was one of those Canadian Scottish heroes who, in what Foch called the finest act of the war, counter-attacked in the be ginning of the second battle of Ypres after beiny thoroughly gassed. Severely wounded in the alnlomen, he lived two days on morphine and water, and ended up in Canada after the war with a bride who believed in him and m digestive apparatus that just naturally wouldn't work. It was literally "all juot to pieces. . What could he do; His great problem was to discover safe, natural, gentle way to keep hit enfeebled body denned out. No or dinary laxative couci be used. He was enduring intense cramps, fainting spells, and acute pain. "During one of those attacks," tie writes, "a friend advised me to try Nujol because of its fen tie, harmless, yet certain action, lis explanation of Nujol's absorbing and cleaning process sounded like good common aoe, so my w lie got a bottle for me at once. That was thirteen years ago, I don't know bow many bottles of Nujol I have nsed since then, but I do know I probably owe my life to it," Here's one man's story! , Kemember. Nujol is not a medicine.
