Father Irish spoke, after an In troduction filled with humor, in an eloquent manner on the pressing issues of the hour. Referring to the fact that these are trouDious times, wnen cannot be told what news the press or radio will bring next, he im pressed the importance of Americans minding their own business. They should keep their heads, have clear minds, and their feet on tne ground. This, he declared, was the fundamental American doctrine, proclaimed by George Washington and the founders of the country. America must be sensible and cool, and not be drawn into the quarrels of others, he said.

Father Irish spoke of conditions in Kussia, Mexico ana apam, dui declared the church had seen dic tators and kings for nearly 2,000 years. They have faded away, but the church has remained. Hold Loyalties. In conclusion Father Irish spoke of the high ideals upon which the Daughters of Isabella organization is founded in loyalty to God ana their neighbors. He urged the members to hold these loyalties in troublous days, and help bring the day of real peace.

Tolerance Needed, Says Mrs. Williams Addresses Women Voters Meeting The problem of peace begins with the individual and his attitude toward others, Mrs. Arthur JL Williams of Normal said Tuesday in an address before the League of Women Voters, meeting at the Y. W. a A.

"Everywhere there are barriers of creed, of race, of color which must be forgotten if we are to build for a common cause," she said. "The world needs justice, good will and understanding. I do not believe that peace will come by another war or by the signing of treaties, but only by a return to faith in human beings." Mrs. Williams' talk followed a business meeting during which Mrs. Homer Johnson was elected president; Mrs.

Louis Kuhn, second vice president; Miss Verla Sutter, treasurer and Mrs. J. M. Carrington, Mrs. Phil Hooton and Mrs.

Benjamin Markowitz, directors. Mrs. O. E. Forister presided and introduced Mrs.

Williams, whose subject was "Building the World of Tomorrow As I See It." Saying she spoke as "Mrs. John Q. Public," Mrs. Williams said that over and over in her conversations with men and women of America she hears the words peace, security and democracy. She urged that people have something to say about whether the country shall go to war, and emphasized the need for dramatizing democracy.

"I know that we have unemployment and insecurity in our country but in comparison with the European countries we have no right to grumble," she said. "The good citizen is the one who is devoted to his community, who has religious convictions and religious tolerance, and who will not make a living in any way not socially constructive." The world of the future, she said, is being built "out of the experience of the past, with the tools of the present," and no person is too small to make a contribution. Before Mrs. Williams' address, reports were presented by Mrs. Perry J.

LaBounty, for the class on government and education, and by Mrs. Louis -Hildebrandt, on proposed amendments of the bylaws. Beatrice Fairfax Heart Problems HELP TOUR DAUGHTER. Just before payday, the average young man xuns low on his movie money and even his carfare. Smart girls realize this and try to solve the problem of empty pockets by a parlor date.

If a girl's family is clever they'll clear out and leave a free field for sister. But not all families are clever some are selfish. The other day a letter came to this column which might seem funny to some, but to me it was tra.jic. The girl in question was "going steady" with a very shy young man. He had taken her out several times and along came the evening for the "parlor date." The girl agreed to help the kids with their homework, mother with her stocking darning, and dad with the minutes of the society to which he belonged.

For all this she had the promise of the living room for a couple of hours on that particular evening. Practical Joke. Her small brother heard of a very ancient practical joke which he regarded as a splendid inspiration. He set the alarm clock for 9:30, put it on a thick china plate, and slipped it back of the sofa. Promptly at the hour, just as the shy young man had got around to the point of asking her if she really liked to cook and could be happy in a three room bungalow, the wild alarm rang out, and rang and rang.

The girl and her boy friend had no idea where the diabolical sound was coming from. They tried to make a joke of it, but the young man iiasn't come back since. Of course he was foolishly ensi- tive. He imagined I suppose, that the entire family were ia league against him, end regarded him as unaesiraDie. Time for Action.

Now is the time for action on the part of that girl. She should do New Under-arm Cream Deodorant safely Stops Perspiration 1. Does not rot dresses does not irritate skin. 2. No waiting to dry.

Mrs. Homer Johnson was elected president of the League of Women Voters at their meeting Tuesday at the Y- rMOTO UNtTCO POINTS FOR PARENTS BY EDYTH THOMAS WALLACE. Mother: "You're tired. That's why you cry so easily. Put the algebra away and get to bed.

I'll go to school tomorrow and see if the teacher and you and I ran find some way to lighten your home work." Mother: "Crying won't do any good. Wipe your eyes and make up your mind you can get those problems. If the others can get them, you can, too. You're just as smart as they are, aren't you?" The teen-ager whose tears come easily probably needs sleep more than she needs a pep-talk. something now and not continue to moon about the alarm clock for the next six months.

Invite the shy suitor around, and the imp who started the alarm clock should say he is sorry. And sister should have parlor dates whenever she wants them. It seems to so many girls, who write to this column, that their fam ilies are positively in league against them. A nervous young man ar rives, dad barely nods a greeting to him 'round the corner of the paper. Motner sits darning, looking a pathetic example of what large fam ilies and small salaries can do to a woman after 40.

Parents! Time is flying, and your daughter, to have her birthright of husband, home and children, should get a little co-operation from the family. But if you will monopolize the living room, encourage the girl to fix up some other room in the home where she can see her friends, not only the boy friend but the girls and boys she knows, the bunch working in the same office, shop or factory with her. Not all young people want to go out and park and pet. And the best way for a sensible family to keep them at home is to have home, or some corner of it, attractive.
