PACK FOtiR THE EVENING HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON .Tnnnnry fl, 1M2 Editorials News of Other Days Place Names Women's Features Majority That Must Prevail ENCOURAGEMENT IN PEACE OUTLOOK Progress Arms Not Necessary To Assure Peace OF interest as the world waits hope fully for the February disarma ment conference is a copyrighted inter view with Sir John Simon, British for eign secretary, carried on the wire of the United Press. It presents, in the face of disappointments and setbacks in the movement toward permanent peace, two encouraging factors. The world, said Sir John to Henry T. Russell, the United Press correspond ent, has undergone an immense change from the attitude that arms assure peace. The people of the world are now convinced that peace cannot be as sured by preparing for war. They are willing to cooperate in disarmament, if they only know how to do so. The other factor which the British lawyer and statesman holds as encour aging is the new and extraordinary de gree to which public opinion influences foreign affairs. His words were to the effect that rapid communications "not only make the world a sounding board, but make a spokesman of a nation. And if the mass of people are con vinced that piling up of armaments is not only useless but dangerous, then we are bound to see a change under mod ern conditions." There is hope and promise in these observations. They take cognizance of change in attitude and conditions, fac tors which strike at the fear we experi ence sometimes that because there has always been war, there must always be war, an outlook that the world dare not assume. H. G. Wells, writing in the current issue of Cosmopolitan, says that out of nineteen hundred million people in the world, there are only a few score hundred thousand who actually want the horror and bloodshed of war. It is foolish to suppose that the tremen dous peace-loving majority cannot ulti mately prevail. It must prevail. A Marcola justice of the peace re ports the motto of his office is peace, good will and no business. Somebody opines that if the rest of the world had the peace and good will, the Marcola justice would have nothing to crow about. We are waiting, apparently, for those Christmas lights on JIain street to burn themselves out. JERRY CHAPTER XXI Charlcie came over and sat down on th arm of th pew naar Marria. "Doesn-t It seem awkward, Marria the whole thing. I mean. Marrying ao far out of her sphere. No money, or no prospecta of making any. Not even successful In bis line. That if. It would be different If he were a groat novel ist, or a good humorist, or some thing that somebody had beard of but " Marcla Interrupted ber. Well, she thinks he's a great writer, ao that's something." "Poor Dick! He's always been so damnably In love with her. Following her around like a starving hound. I feel sorry for him." "Oh, why? He'll meet someone elaa. She never appreciated him, anyway." "He told me over at Cyril's the other night that ho never want ed to marry now." "That's probably the way he feela right now, but you can't tell me that he'll stay that way for ever. Men aren't built like that. Maybe thev used to be, but not now nowadays." Charlcie got np. The arm of the pew vm too pointed. She looked down the long maroon vel vet carpeted aisle. "You know, Marria, I envy Joan at that I wish I were step ping Into the marriage ties with a little adventure ahead of me. At least, she's in love with Jerry. I think she wonders, too, how it will turn out, hut ahe's too proud to admit it. Look at me, engag ed to Tom Allbright. Why? Be "caue It was expected of me. He bad money, social position, and he loved me or thought we were auited to each other. We're like a couple of cold tomatoes now. We're getting married, because It's the thing to do. We've known ever since we were ten or there abouts that eventually we would march down the alula together and live In Allhrlgbt'a town house and have parties, and take a (rip every summer. I'm bored alrendy Just thinking about It." Chiirlcln gave a little gesture of helplessness and went back to the business of arranging the fernery. "Over there at tha end of the platform,' she said condescend ingly to the decorator. "We don't want anyone to fall over It." Mnrria giggled. "Won't Jo look funny stand ing up here at the altar with Jerry? He's to short and Jo looks taller thnn ever in her white gown. Terry said she ought to wear low heels." "Terry Is too snrcnstlc," Charl cie put In. Charlcie always felt thnt she could say whatever ahe wlhed about Jonn, but whenever anyone else got to tnlking ahe rose in loyal defense of her beat friend. "Well, my dear. H la ahort." on Traffic Plan - tf - JOAN Marcla felt th aim ot the statement and ah didn't want Charlcie to think ahe was putting her down. The florist picked ap tb heavy jar and carried It to th end of the platform. Charlcie atepped back and surveyed the scene once more. "That makes It look awfully bare around th altar, Marcla," she said with a bint of Irritation in her tone. Marcla wasn't terribly Inter ested. "Tha whole place looks bare anyway. It's going to he a funny wedding, if you ask me" Charlcie felt that Marcla waa deliberately trying to spoil thinga now. "Well, I didn't ask you. Too many people are answering ques tions about Jo'a wedding that no body asked them." Charlcie lud forgotten that she herself had been saying things a few minutes before. Rut she hadn't said anything mallciuslv. She hoped the wedding would come off all right, she really hoped that Joan would be happy with Jerry. It waa only because at times she simply couldn't un ders and how Joan could go through with It, and when people caoght her In mood like that she was apt to say aomething she hadn't meant to say. Marcla lit a cigarette. "Oh, pardon me." Charlcie ignored ber In favor of the florist. "Now, I think that's better." The florist had moved the fern a little nearer the altar. "And when yon get the fresh flowers around tomorrow It will look quite lovely." "Mlas Prentice didn't want too much, you know," the florist put In. "Blmple decorations, those were her orders. Charlcie winced a little. Flor ists were so difficult. "Yes, I know, but she told me to use my own Judgment." Marcla glanced at her wrist match. "Well, tomorrow at this time the wedding will have been over by three hours and Jo will be finding out tha mysteries of life." Hoth girls laughed a little sillily. Girls always laughed about things like that when the Joke was on someone else, of course. The florist waa preparing to leave. Marcla got up and went up to the altar. "I really think they ahould practice It, don't you, Charlcie? Jerry'a so awkward. I mean, not awkward, exactly, but I have a feeling that he's going to gum the works. You can't depend on him. You never can tell what he's go ing to do next. He doesn't know himself." "Well. It's nn to them. It'a go ing to he so simple that a child eouia follow it, anyway. All he Cooperation Marks Conference THE spirit of cooperation that is need ed in working out the city's traffic problem prevailed Tuesday night when Police Chief Merrill, Police Judge Fouch and some 25 operators of com mercial cars met for a conference. An ironbound enforcement of the traffic ordinance would hit the com mercial car operator harder than any one else. The law enforcement officers saw fit to offer leniency, and the opera tors in return agreed to move their traffic as rapidly as possible, and to come up to the curb when space per mits. A similar spirit on the part of pas senger car operators is needed, if the traffic problem is to be solved rapidly and without trouble for the motorists. It will be cheaper for the automobile driver, it will be more convenient for him in the long run, and it will hasten the day when the city can boast that it is able to keep its traffic in order. Give the police a boost in this program. A Christmas Tree On January 2 THERE is something tragic about a Christmas tree on January 2. Stripped of its glittering splendor, its bright baubles and its tinsel, it becomes merely an ordinary fir tree, and a thin looking, drooping one at that. It is tossed on its side, perhaps in the corner of the basement by woodpile, or in the back yard by the garbage can, to wither away unless first it finds its way into the flames of furnace or fire place. The latter destiny, we imagine, is the one the tree would choose, if it had a choice. For a fir tree, tossed, branches and needles and all, into an open fire makes a most bright and glorious blaze. It is for a moment only, but it is an ending in keeping with a splendid past. That suggestion about dressing up vacant windows was one that appar ently met with indifference. Indiffer ence didn't make the vacant windows any more attractive. Little drops of water, adding to the moisture of the Klamath country, are rolling up a tide of optimism. By Clro Lnrae haa to do la come out and stand there with ber and answer 'Yea."' "I hope he'a sober." "Oh. he will be. Joan aald he promised her he wouldn't drink any more at all." "That'e too bad." "Why?" "Frankly, I thought th only tim he waa never boring was when he waa cockeyed. There are people that way, you know." Charlcie algbed. There wasn't any use trying to alt on Marcla. It couldn't be don. Sba knew from experience. She glanced hastily at her watch. "It'a late. Let'a go on over. Jo will be expecting ua."

Health Talks Of all the Infections conditions which attack th eye, trachoma la by far the moat serious problem because it la moat prevalent. It haa been ahown that thla disease la spread by direct contact with infected neonle and Indirectly by contact with articles freshly soiled with the dischargee ot those who are infected. Trachoma, or Infectaoua granu lation of the eyelids, la not In it- ealt dangeroua to life, becaues nracttcallv no one diea ot thia dis ease, bnt vail amount ot bllnd- nesa la caused by trachoma, ana all ot thla blindness la prevent able. On of th most serious prob lems related to trachoma In thla country is the control of the dis ease among the American Indiana, and among tha poorer elaaaea In th foreign population. When a person Is found to have trachoma be should be excluded from elaaaea In school or if a worker In factory from any pos sible contact with other workere. Certainly he ahould not be per mitted to us th same washing facilities, roller towels, and aim liar toilet article in public place which constitute a source for tne spread ot thla disease. Washing In pubic placea ahould be prefer ably with running water, without having to loach either the faucet of tb atopper. Physicians who handle thla dis ease prescribe solutions of tine and copper with suitable antisep tic substances for use on the eye lids aa epeclfle preventive meas ures. The dlseaae la best con trolled by routine examination of human beings who are constantly associated In educational, hous ing or working groups. Emi grants, eehool children, the In mate ot orphan home and of homes for th indigent, and em ployes in lumber camps and in construction ram pa should be reg ularly exarrned with the Idea ot prevention of trachoma In mind. Delay In the treatment ot Infec tious granulation of tha eyelids la an extremely aerlona matter, be cause of the tendency of this con dition to result In permanent blindness.

Or., (To Th Editor) la th Klamath Nawa ot December II, 1131, under the tltl "Budgt la paaaed over pro test of Taxpayers' League." I noted a statement mad by County Commiaalonar C. H.

It careful Inquiry waa made I believe It would bo ahown that Mr. William bad very llttl If anything at all to do with th determination aa to whether In dian landa ahould be leaaed or not. Can It be that thla atatement waa mad for the Influence It might have on Klamath county voters? In connection with th subject of leasing landa It la only fair to atate that the Indiana do not ob ject to leasing tribal landa for cattle graslng and that every objection they have mad to aheep grailng haa been amply Justified by facta ahown.

And. aecond: If Mr. Williams really believe It possible for him or any other person to receive any sua from tb federal gov ernment for thla purpose UN LESS THAT SUM RB TAKEN FROM THE KLAMATH TRIBAL FUNDS?
