Frontiers Easiest Place for War to
Break Out.
By United Press.
. Paris, Jan. 10.—“The final peace
ratification, won’t forever banish wars
from the weary world," Marshal Foch
warned today In an Interview. “It
would be foolish, Gen. Foch said, A*t<r
think that merely because the treaty
wap signed and that because we don’t
want to fight, there will be no more
wars.”
“We must learn a leBson from the
past war,” he continued. “It Is a
lesson of prudence and good will.
War Isn’t always avoidable. Wars
can start on frontiers between the
most pacific peoples, perhaps they
Btart easiest at such places."

At the last meeting of the Fair
Price Committee in the rooms of the
Chamber of Comemrce, the question
of the "organization of a Housewives’
Association Was taken and at_ the
same time the question of a revival
of the Women’s Auxiliary of tho
Chamber of Commerce was also dis-
cussed.
It seemed to be the unanimous
opinion of all present that there was
a necessity for this Women's Auxili-
ary, looking to securing attention to
eiv'c matters effecting the city's <te-
velopment along sanitary clean-up
and beautifying lines.
Myron Kesner of Dallas, a city,-
planner and decorator has written the
Chamber of Comerce suggesting
the propriety of a movement tq, have
him lay out a plan for the city
for beautifying the streets, parks,
etc. This matter will come up for
attention befoM the Executive Com-
mittee and if qfcsms to be the general
opinion of those interested that Borne
such movement should be undertaken
and should be placed in the hands of
the Women's AuiUlaly for care htta
attention. ,
It will be remembered that Mr.
Bob Leaer was one of the pioneers
to bring! into Orange large consign-
ments of palm trees to be .planted
along the various streets and in front
of the yards of a number of
residences of this city. With those
inexperienced in planting, these trees,
a Jarge number died, but it seems
that almost everyone Mr. Lester set
out has grown and thrived.
Mr. Lester is very much in favor
of this movement of beautifying the
city and will do everything possible
in order to make it a success. A
meeting will be called in the rooms
of the Chamber of Comerce next
week, | asking all of the women of
the city to come in and reorganize
the auxiliary so thaUhe work can be-
gin at the earliest possible momenU_
