War Clouds In Europe.
In spite of all the peace treat
ies which have been negotiat
ed since the World War, it
seems that the outlook for pro
longed freedom from European
strife is not as bright as it
should be.
Just now experienced observ
ers see grave dangers in the at
titude of several European
powers, especially Faissia and
Italy. In fact, it is difficult to
find a single nation that is sat
isfied with the present situa
tion, because all are faced with
unfavorable economic condit
ions.'
A well-known New York
publisher upon his recent re
turn from an extended study of
European affairs is quoted as
saying: “I w’as never so ap
palled in my life.” Then he
declared that the relations be
tween Fiance and Italy were
becoming strained almost to
the breaking point; that while
Germany was supposed to be
be disarmed every youth re
ceives military training; the
Scandinavian countries are at
swords points among them
selves, while Russia is armed
to the teeth and only seeks i
favorable opportunity to hurl
its might against the “capital
istic nations.”
These are only the more ob
vious indications of unrest
while in the former territory
of AustriaHungarv, in the
Balkans, in Poland and else
where the age-old rivalries are
still in evidence.*
While every right-thinking
person will fervently hope that
all these present differences
may be composed without
bloodshed, no student of his
tory can escape the fact that
possibilities of another disas
trous conflict are too evident
to be ignored..
It seems incredible that the
lesson of the World war should
be so soon forgotten, but the
dangers noted are real, and un
less European statesmen adopt
a more conciliatory attitude, a
new war which may virtually
destroy Western civilization is
not beyond the range of prob
ability'.
-o
English is Queer.
In a plea for greater consist
ency. a spelling reformer has
called attention to a few of the
many vagaries displayed in
English spelling and pronunci
ation. The sound of long “a,"
for example, is represented in
many different ways, as a in
lady, ai in rain, eign in reign,
ay in pay, ei in veil, ey in they.
eyre in obeyed, ea in great, oa
in goal, au in gauge, ag in
champagne, aig in campaign
aigh in straight, and ai in wait.
Other rounds are represent
ed by' an almost equal variety
of spellings. Words pro
nounced alike have different
meanings, such as right-rite
write-wright, to-too-two, oh
owe, and many others. Words
spelled alike may mean entire
ly different things, such as
row, bow, lead, saw, and so on.
These peculiarities have to
do merely with orthography.
When the other innumerable
^consistencies of the language
are considered, the wonder is
that any'one ever learns to
] -'peak and write English cor
, rectly.
As a matter of fact, hardly
anyone ever does.
A P’vcky Girl Flyer
For the time being, at least, it
appears that the world’s great
est flying honors for a woman
aie due Miss Amy Johnson,
:he 22-year-old English girl
who recently flew alone from
London to Australia in niiye
teen days. Her flight took l\er
across Europe, Asia and -the
Dutch East Indies, a distance
of 9,9'00 miles, the last 500
miles of which was over the
sea. Her time was only four
'days, longer than the record,
although she lost three days
at Rangoon because of a brok
en wing and propellor.
Like Lindebergh, she leaped
at once from obscurity to
world-wide fame. Until a
short time ago Miss Johnson
was an office girl, serving as
secretary for an insurance at
torney and taking flying less
ons in spare time.
Her great flight again dem
onstrates that the so-called
“weaker sex” is not lacking in
courage, skill and endurance in
the air or elsewhere.
Just for Fun
Don Martin says one good
way to get up in the world is
to keep on the level.
I It seems that we have now
four branches of government—

Some statesmen seem to be
doing a lot of thinging about

all will be lovely.

A Chicago w'oman is suing

Massachusetts, wants to elim

manipulate them..
