fcpONARD A. BARRETT *5 r ' y t" j ' 4; T i".' %\ - 1 i r'_ •-. /r - m- When Woodrow Wilson coined the jhrase "peace without victory" many people became cynjcal and some received t h e statement with' contempt. They felt that it was impossible, a mere pipe dream, a v i s T o n a r y phrase with. no special . signific a n c e . M a n y years have now passed since then. The treaty , of V e r s a i l l e s h a s been signed and > Sealed. It signaled a glorious peace k :tt> a large group, perhaps a major-' y'jjy of thfe people. But was peace finally achieved? A cursory view "of the internal cOnditipn of Europe • today replies emphatically in the ^negative. Whether Europe is at present on the verge of war is not • the question. Actual war may be ,'postponed for many years, but. the •^Hatred, mistrust,; and malice rampant today clearly indicates that :^:$otne day there may be a "show ifijown." : Peace does not reign in vfpite of a much "boasted victory. We recognize different 'kinds of ' peace. Perhaps the rhost peaceful place in the world is a cemetery, l»ut it is the peace of death. "Requiescat in pace," may be inscribed over the tomb of those who fought life's battles victoriously, bat peace, like rest, is not found "in quitting one's busy career" bat /father in "fitting one's self to his Sphere." The peace of neutrality is like the golden rule of Confucius, strictly negative. Let every man alone, and he will let you alone: inaction, .isolation, retrogression, stagnation. ;4,To put to silence" is defined as "to oblige to hold the peace," to restrain, to quiet: a process of • force, compulsion and coercion. 1 ; ls it not true that a problem is not settled until it is settled right?,. No problem can be settled by brutal .Jorce or repressed will power. That •omething else needed is to many in unknown quantity like the "x" "in mathematics which must be Jound. We may silence a child by fear of punishment but that does not ••Iter the current of its wrong desire. We may force into subjection through hunger and suffering those Who oppose our will, but the smoldering fires of hatred are ./•ill the more intensified. The treaty flf Versailles was an expression of the will of the victor without due Consideration of the reaction of the victim. Heroism is greater than rerf^ ng^. .^We may be a long way from Sleating our swords into plowshares .and our spears into pruning hooks, but the distance which separates us from the realization of that ideal is _-J|ic measure of the distance of the time when nation lifts not up sword against another nation. It is a long, long way we still have to travel before we are willing to have peace without victory. The peace of a home is maintained by mutual sharing of blessings and mutual bearlag of the burdens. Victory over , one's greed, selfishness and misdirected purposes is essential to an inner peace of mind and heart. So with nations. So long as hatred *ules the heart, we will have wars •nd rumors of wars. So long as distrust molds popular opinion, there <tan be no peace. V.-fr The way to a victorious peace must come through an understanding of responsibility one for another. ^ When we emphasize peace more #ian victory we shall achieve the -ideal of Alexander Hamilton who itaid: "It is ours either to be a .grave in which the hopes of the •world shall be entombed or a pillar of fire that shall pilot the race onward to its millennial glory." © Western Newspaper Union.

When you get a good shot like this, ftave enlarged SUMMER is about over and by now you should have a drawer full of prints--pictures of week-end outings and the vacation tour, Sunsets and maybe seashores, the family's youngv. er generation in sunsults or bathing suits, capering about the lawn spray or digging furiously, in a sandplle; all sorts of pictures rich with memories of a grand season. The question now Is--what are you going to do about them? Let them lie loose In the drawer where nobody will Bee them? Or, will you fix them up to be seen as pictures should be? The least you can do is mount them in an album so they won't be lost. And if you have some really good ones, you might try your hand at a "summer book," edited }ust as. the modern picture magazines are. Have you ever studied these maga aines and wondered why their pages are so interesting? Have you wondered wfiy four own snapshots do not have the same snap and flash? ; It's really very simple--a matter Of size as much as anything else. When an art editor gets a picture -that is especially good, he trims it to include just the part he Wants. Then he has it enlarged and ;*'splashes" it over a whole magazine page, maybe two pages. Other pictores. not as good, are used 1ft smaller size and the big "splash" plOi>' ture carries them alon". Start separating your pictureis 1»» ? to related groups.

Then take your other pictures of baby and sandplle and arrange them informally on the opposite al* bum page. With this method, you can produce layouts that have the real professional touch. Be hard-boiled In your editing. Don't be afraid to trim away, parts of a picture. Use four strips ot white card in planning the "trim" and shift them about like a frame over the picture until It is limited to just the part you want. Then hare Just that part enlarged. Nearly all good pictures are better for such trimming and it has brought many a dull photograph to life.
