For, after all is said and done, what did the World war avail the nations participating? What objectives -were gained? The world has never become adjusted since and now the major portion of Eu rope is once more engaged in : death struggle. For what, may we ask. If selfishness and greed could be eliminated from the conduct of na tions and the welfare of the people of the world given first considera tion, it might be possible to use some of the wasted dollars in the establishment of permanent peace. In a recent statement, Dr. Nicho las Murray Butler estimates that the warring nations spent 400 billion dollars in the last war, and submits some interesting facts about the wholesome comforts of life which that expenditure would have bought for humanity. "We could have built a $2500 house, furnished with $1000 worth of furniture, placed in the middle of five acres of land worth $100 an acre, and given this estate outright to every family in the United tates, Canada, Australia, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium, Germany and Russia. We could have given to each city of 20,000 inhabitants or over in each country named, a $5,000,000 library and a $10,000,000 university. Out of what was left we could have set aside a sum of five per cent that would provide $1000 a year salary for an army of 120,000 nurses and another army of 125,000 teachers." This country is making an effort to maintain neutrality in the present struggle in Europe. If there are cer tain interests who would like to in volve us they should ponder what Dr. Butler has submitted in the way of figures.

Bruce Lindsey was acting judge with Francis Bai lev the defense attorney,, and Willie Stone as the prosecuting attorney. James Kenny, dressed as a girl, was accused and convicted of wear ing a bathing suit that was much too long. The skit ended with the sheriffs cutting off part of the bathing suit which had formerly reached to the ankles. The prisoner was sentenced to sing "Lilacs in the Rain" and "Faith ful Forever." Modes of the Day Wool dresses were very much in evidence, the most attractive being those worn by the Wilson sisters. Shirley Wilson wore a green wool dress trimmed with rust buttons. The waist was tucked all around to give it the wasp waist appear ance. Dorotha Wilson wore a rose two piece dress with contrasting blue around the scallops of the blouse and a blue belt. Howard Wray made the fashions with harmonizing green pants and gaberdine shirt. Merle Burkenbine and Richard Hayes are wearing deep wine-colored corduroy jackets. Last but not least was Mr. Peavy in a new grey-striped suit with a fitted back.
