Lady Aberdeen Is famous for her work In establishing health and recreation centers in Ireland. On the disarmament resolution passed, the American women did not vote. It was In part, as follows: The I. C. M ., while recognizing that simultaneous disarmament Is the ideal to be aimed at, considers that it might be preceded by a gradual general disarmament under effective control to be agreed upon by the respective governments and the League of Nutions. They recognize that nations will not agree to die arm until they feel some sense of security. Hindenburg, New President of Germany Here's an portrait of President Faul von Hindenburg of the German republic. Yes ; this Is the same old field marshal whose name Is on the list of "war criminals whom the allies wished to bring to Judgment. In his manifesto to the German people, President von Hindenburg said: "True to the oath, I will devote all my energies to guarding the constitution and laws. Let us strive half-millio- GENERAL sauna sun. sauna, utaii through honest, peaceful work to gain the recognition of other nations to which we are entitled, and to free the German name from the unjust stain which still lies on it today. Probably President Hindenburg is not as fierce as he looks. And he hasnt much power. Nominally he is the head of the army, but he cannot add one soldier to the military establishment. Without his consent the military cannot be called out to aid the civil power, but he cannot himself call it out except under definitely specified conditions. Officially he has little or no voice In government decisions. Neither his intellectual characteristics nor his advanced age give reason to anticipate any sinister political activities.

Butler Will Swing Around the Circle (HHHMttMMHWHtUMm Senator William M. Butler of Massachusetts, chairman of the Republican national committee, will make the most extensive political observation tour next fall ever attempted by any leader of a dominant political party. Instead of going to Chicago for a few weeks as he planned to do originally, he will visit the principal cities of the East and West, getting information regarding political conditirns . in the 33 states In which senatorial contests will be waged next year. The indications are that he wPl make stops in New York, Chicago. Denver, Portland, Ore., San Francisco and St. Louis, conferring with party leaders and making several public addresses. This will be the first Mme that a national chairman has made a swing around the circle" in an "off year." The chairman's intention originally was to go only to Chicago and to talk with party leaders of states within a night's ride of that city. Since announcing his intention he has been deluged by requests to go farther west. It Is his desire to get all the information available regarding the congressional as well as the senatorial campaigns to bo waged next year and to render as much assistance as possible toward a Republican victory that will give President Coolidge control of the house and senate. Senator Butler will find It necessary to spend only a few days In New York city, as he Is Intimately acquainted with political conditions In the East The principal contests in the East will be waged In New York and New first-han- d From New York Mr. Butler will go to Chicago, where he will coaler with Illinois, Imllnna, Kansas and Wisconsin leaderc.

Washington. Appealing for more vigilant enforcement of law on the part of state and local governments and for a "universal observation of the constitution by the American public, President Coolidge in a Memorial day address at Arlington cemetery declared that what we need is not more federal government, but better local government. We are not a lawless people, said the president, but we are too frequently a careless one. The multiplicity of laws, the varied possibil-- ' Jties of appeals, the disposition to technically In procedure, the delays and consequently the expense of litigation which inevitably Inure to the advantage of wealth and specialized ability all these have been recounted as reproaches to us. It is strange that such laxities should persist in a time like the present, which is marked by a determined upward movement in behalf of social welfare. But they do exist. They demonstrate a need for better, promp ter, less irksome and expensive administration of the laws; for unifor mity of procedure: for more accurate delimitation of state and federal authority. Mr. Coolidge made only passing reference to prohibition and did not apply his observations directly to any particular situation. Declaring that "when the local government unit evades the responsibility it is started in the vicious way to disregard of law and laxity of living, he continued: The police force which is admin- Salt Lake City.
