This remark was heard one day this week from a customer who had just eaten at Johnny Karls' restaurant The place where you can get a real cup of die, too. Next time you are eating out you'd better try one of these lunches. Or a short order of any GHAPELL'S ICE CREAM (Brick or bulk) v3 KARLS 1 Riverside Drive McHenry, III 1 have always preferred peace t<K War--domestic peace, social peace, and International peace. I appreciate the point of view of the man who was having a domestic upheaval And who said that he was determined to have peace in his family even if he had to fight for it My mall has been flooded lately with literature on the subject of how to prevent war, and most of the writers and reformers have assumed the point of view that if we are ever to wipe out war, as heaven grant we some day may, the only sure method is to get ourselves into a situation where we would find it impossible to fight Disarmament and the wiping out of military training, they feel, would at once bring about the millennium and universal peace. Maybe It would, and it might be well tt> try it out, but I am not sure. Throwing away our guns does not always change the nature or the intention of a hold-up man, however, and sometiines, If he Is the stronger, gives him the better opportunity to loot the place. The school I had been engaged to manage was in the roughest district of the town. They had been used to h hard life in every sense of the word. Even the ten-year-olds chewed tobacco and smoked and used words not learned in Sunday school and drank their liquor when they could get it like big men. I started out beautifully in my endeavors to eliminate war. I knew what had gone on the year before In the contests which had been waged between teachers and pupils, and I knew, too, that the teachers had not infrequently been sent to the hospital, so to speak, but I was an advocate of peace; I believed in disarmament At the end of two weeks I saw that I was a failure. They throught me weak, they laughed at my orders, they considered me afraid and a mollycoddle. They were sure that they could run over me to their heart's content It was tlten that 1 declared war. Metaphorically I introduced the machine gun and poison gas and all the paraphernalia of battle and used It for a time. They ran up the flag of truce. We had peace because they saw clearly I was prepared for war. (ft 1118. Western Newspaper Union.) FINDS WAY TO BEAT DAD'S QUEER W!L£ D f H u s b a n d , G M o * . •*.

As a denoument to the spectacular affairs of Dr. and Mrs. Roderic O'Connor of Oakland, the divorced couple re-entered the marital state in Reno. The prominent Oakland physician was divorced by his.wife, the former Gertrude Gould, last December, in Reno. She charged him with fault finding and nagging. In January Mrs. O'Connor appeared in Superior court and asked that the "divorce clause" in her father's will be fulfilled. j /This will made by the late Charles j B. Gould, former president" of the Call-1 fornla fish and game commission, provided that his daughter should receive only the income from a $100,000 trust fund. . If she were widowed or divorced, however, she was to receive the $160,- 000 principal Immediately. She got the money by ordar of Superior Judge Lincoln S. Church. Shortly thereafter persistent rumors were current among friends of the couple that they were shortly to remarry. Both denied this, admitting that they were "close friends" bat no more. The wedding ceremony recently was performed by Rev. Brewster Adams, Reno Baptist minister. The couple have one daughter, who Inherited $20,000 from Gould's estate. Birmingham Is Still Bashful About Limbs Birmingham, England.--To most of the world a leg, whether It Is sheathed in silk or wears a garter around its calf, is merely something to get somewhere on. Not so In Birmingham ! The good folks here can't even look at their own. A few years ago the Watch committee, which supervises the city's mois als, reached the momentous decision that even though a leg was a thing of beauty, It had a devastating influence. Therefore, the bare leg was placfed in the same category as the witch. | Pavlowa was compelled to trip over the stage with her famous supports covered by fleshlings. Ordinary chorus girls were made to wear tights. It appeared the city had been saved from perdition. Troupers came back into the cities and told the story. Newspapers poked fun at the right* eous citizens. Finally the committee decided to reconsider Its decision. It held a solemn Inspection of a bare leg. After recovering from the shock that It contained nothing vicious the committee generously decided if other person's legs were attractive, Birmingham citizens might have a look. It even ignored colored spectacles. Rfcst Reds Fail to Put Efficiency in Railways Moscow, U. S. S. R.--The work of the Soviet railroads In the first half of the present business year is described as entirely unsatisfactory by the official mouthpiece of the railway workers, Gudok. Only two lines, it appears from a statistical table, carried out their prescribed amount of freight transportation. Those were the Moscow-Kazan railroad and the Southwestern railroad. All other lines feU far behind the plans. The Moscow-Kursk road, always regarded as a model organization, shocked the railroad world here by taking last place in the table of work accomplished. Movements of trains according to time tables fell to only 69 per cent, Gudok declares. Since that is regarded as an index of efficient operation, the situation is obviously bad. The press calls for greater efforts and for measures to fix responsibility for tallore. Women Lure Longer and Age Easier Than Do Men New York.--If woman's youth-expectancy were governed by her lifeexpectency, She would preserve the sheen of her hair and the smoothness of her skin from two to three years longer than her , masculine contemporaries.^ "Women the world over live longer and age easier than men," Mme. Helena Rubinstein of London, Paris and New York, Internationally-known authority on feminine beauty, said in an address here. "Data of the federal census bureau, for instance, establishes the fact that In all agegroups In the United States female mortality is lower than male. "In the natural process of evolution, this paradox of long life and early old age will cease to exist Women will learn to resist time not merely by living longer but by ntwying young longer." Girl Plays Nursemaid, Baby Brother Is Dead Pasadena, Calif.--A desire on the part of his three-year-old sister to play nursemaid caused the death of Don Slater, eleven months old. The baby's sister undressed him, placed him in a bathtub for a bath, and turned on the hot water. Mrs. Slater was attracted by screams of the children, but the baby was fatally scalded before she could remove him from the water. £ • "FrasU Ice" When water is kept in motion at i temperature below the freezing point, ice does not form on its surface.

Bwt He May GUM* Wrong .When the doctor gets sick, the people think It won't amount to ranch, for he will know exactly what to do.-- Terre Haute Tribune. Scene on the Grand Canal, "Venice. (Prepared tr the Nations! Qtocraphle Society, Washington, D. 0.) TITH the^opening of the sum- \ I / mer travel season the paths VV °' travelers in Europe lead again to Venice, which, with its anlque streets of water, seems to exercise a lure more potent than cities wholly of the land. The traveler should not expect too much of Venice. It Is hardly fair. No great city can exist on narrow canals and be entirely a thing of beauty. One necessarily has had dreams of Venice and goes there with marked preconceptions. This follows reasonably enough, for so much has been written about this city of the sea, and of course the rosy, romantic aspect has been presented. If one does nqt set his mark lnordinately/hIgh Venice will charm him. Novelty will "pinch hit" whenever beauty strikes out. By ail means the visitor should arrange to arrive In Venice by night. Under soft moonlight or under the rays of the dim and Infrequent "street lamps," Venice puts her very best foot forward ^nd strives to make the most extravagant dreams come true. The deep shadows under Its bridges and the palace arches, the mysterious narrow black canal entrances, the picturesque leaning posts, the gentle lapping of the waves against the walls and steps, the swish of the paddles, the half brusque, half songlike calls of the gondoliers as they approach blind corners, perhaps the musical song of a gondolier in the distance-jall combine to give one an entrancing entrance into the City of Canals. He leans back on his cushions during the long boat ride to the hotel--for of course traveler and luggage must go by boat--quite contented with life. This Is Venice, and It Is quite as It should be. What the Day Reveal*. A night arrival Is a ruse btrtHt successful one. It is as though one should contrive to meet a once beautiful lady, no longer young, at an evening garden party. Her wrinkles become soft lines. When they face you In the pitiless light of the morrow they will have a certain suggestion of familiarity and memory will make them lees harsh. The first day in Venice discloses Indubitable signs of ugliness as well as of beauty. Picturesque gondolas pass on the Grand canal. So do the unplcturesque Venetian "street cars" --squat steamboats, little, but all tob large beside the gondolas--their sawed-off stacks belching dirty black smoke. They raise choppy waves, qji do the swifter little motorboats. The gondoliers glare at them and the traveler joins them in spirit In the choice.* Italian curses that they must be uttering under their breath. More gondolas pass--and the trash boats of the municipality. In the waters that seemed so fair last night floats every conceivable sort of rubbish. Yonder Is the beautiful facade of a fine old palace, and beside It a building from which the stucco has fallen In great patches disclosing ugly bricks beneath. Perhaps the stones are falling away, too, at the waterllne, letting the waves reach In for an Inevitably greater destruction. Green slime covers the steps and the tilted wooden posts are rotting. Time is not the only desecrater of Venetian walls. The hand of the advertiser has been busy. too. And some of the walls that Dandolo loved and that scores of poets have sung about now Inform the occupants of gondolas and "street cars" of products that can be purchased to their supposed advantage. But thanks to a night arrival these things do not worry the visitor over much. He turns rather to the domes of Santa Maria della Salute with a tangle of masts against the sky; to the arch of the history-encrusted old Ponte Rlalto; to the Incomparable spires and domes of the Cathedral of San Marco. One finds that there is a surprising amount of dry land life In Venice. A veritable maze of alleys and calli (little streets) and fondamenti .(canal side-walks) exist. The best one can hope to do In a short stay la to gain a superficial acquaintance with the main way between San Marco and the Rlalto. Piazza San Marco. The ways, whether narrow alleys or somewhat wider calies, have no' sidewalks, of course. The entite space, such as It Is, is for pedestrians. At Intervals the narrow ways open up Into "campi" as the little squares are called. The name, "Plawa,* has been reserved for the great square of San Marco facing the cathedral--the ultimate In dry spaciousness in Venice. If one has only a picture knowledge of Venice, as all the world has not been there has, the Piazza San Marco will prove a surprise. The little open space that holds the famous statue of the Lion of San Marco Is not the real piazza but only the anteroom, the piazetta. Well behind the lion column, around the Campanile lies a square grea ter than many a city with an unlimited supply of terra firma can boast No wheeled or four-footed traffic uses this great square. It is gK-en over entirely to humans and pigeons. Thousands of the latter make the Piazza San Marco their home, and there Is seldom a time during the day when one can cross the square without carefully picking his way to avoid stepping on them. When night falls again and cloaks the Inevitable tawdry spots of an old city built on piles, one forgets his criticisms of the day. Out on the lagoon at the mouth of the Grand canal, In a boat lighted by gaily colored lanterns, a company of musiciansv and singers begins a serenade. The gondolas of tourists join the throng of slender black forms bobbing gracefully up and down, each with a silent, statuesque figure standing at its stern. Soft music and the gentle swish of wavelets fill the air. The lights of the Lidos gleam in the distance while nearer at hand black masts and spires stand out against the sky, the soaring shaft of the Campanile topping them all. The Three Lldoe. Venice's playground is the Lidos, the chain of low sand islands acfoes the lagoon, which have ever guarded the city from the Adriatic. Without these Isles and the tide they control, Venice, or at least the Venice that is so well known, would never have been born. On the Lidos w^re the original settlements that led to the establishment of the city of Venice on the islands of the lagoons. When Attiia and his Hun hordes swept down on Europe In 452 A. D. many of the Inhabitants of the regions farther Inland took refuge on the Lidos. From 742 to 809 the seat of government* of the region was at Malamocco. a few miles south of the present Lido bathing resort # on the same Island. The encroachments of the waves during the spring and autumn storms, and the vulnerability , to attacks from enemy navies, led. In 800, to a general exodus to the islands on which the present city is built. The Lidos today consist of three principal long sandy Islands, divided by narrow water channels, and scarcely far enough above the water to be distinguished from clouds when seen from a distance. The Lltorale, or beach, of Malamocco is the largest and most important, as it contains both the famous bathing resort and the sm^l village of Malamocco. The Lltorale of Pellestrlna Is a strung-out village of fishermen and gardeners. Along It are portions of the great seawall, for, although the Adriatic protected its daughter from the guns of the heavy-draught vessels of the Middle ages, it exacted constant homage in stone walls and breakwaters. The Lltorale of St. Erasmo, north of the Lido, is shorter and less Important Fine Bathing Resort. At one time there were five ports or the channels between the Islands, bu' that at St. Erasmo was closed to in crease the volume of water at thr Lido port nearby. The amount of tidewater that entered the In goons through the port channels bears upon the welfare of the city. If it had ever been .more than normal, large vessels could have sailed up to the Grand canal (as they do today, due to dredging, however) and Venice would have needed heavy fortifications in place of airy palaces. If It had been any less, -the city would have been malarial and unhealthy. Malamocco Is the main approach today for vessels of heavy draft. The other ports, Tre Portl. and Chioggia, together are -not as Important as the Lido. The Lido, however, owes Its chief renown to the tine bathing beach facing the sea. Along its windswept sands Byron and Shelley raced their horses before the vogue of sea bathing. Here artists set up their easels to catch that soft and luminous harmony of Venice from a distance.
