CHANCE United States should take the initiative, TO HELP I 1 right now. in the job of cleaning up China. CHINA X We do not mean America should do this with her army. Quite the reverse. It is to prevent the necessity, sooner or later, of having to make use of our army, that steps should be taken at once by pacific methods, to set China to rights. Rich beyond all comprehension, her fabulous wealth coveted by more than one powerful nation, this last great, virtually unprotected garden spot of the world stands forth as tempting as ripe fruit over a wayside wall. Some hungry nation or other, one of these days, will take advantage of an incident like that of the Shantung bandits and go after China. , This would be the signal for a scramble, the end of which no man can foresee. The thing to do now is: 1. To force Peking to obtain, in double-quick time, the release of the prisoners now in the hands of the bandits. 2. To force Peking to take summary action against all and sundry who had anything to do with the hold-up of the ShanghaiPeking express —from the military governor of Shantung down. 3. To insist upon a complete reorganization of China's administration. 4. To co-operate with China in bringing about civil, military and economic reforms which will so strengthen her that the possibility of a repetition of the bandit episode will be remote. A weak, helpless China is not just a menace to the lives of Americans and other foreigners in that country. It is a cot* stant menace to the peace of the world. Here is a ehanee for Secretary of State Hughes to perform a real service to China and the world while removing a very real danger to his own people. MALE ( RE as the sun shines and woman is woman.

When woman obviously approaches 40 years of age. as she sometimes does, two things, at least, usually promote nightmare in her—steady increase of abdominal fatness and fatness of the ankles, especially the latter affliction, since ankles have got to be shown and their size cannot be camouflaged by any sort of a harness.

MATTER X-J and nowhere else is the demand tor these - '•** concessions so great as in that place known as the Holy State of Matrimony. It is puzzling to understand why it is that so many men and women are unwilling to bring with them any common sense when they take up their sojourn there. In a great many marriages we find a decidedly one-sided arrangement, where all concessions are made by one member, while tbe second goes selfishly along, never heeding the rights of the other. Many men and women love, marry, quarrel and separate •without ever having a real serious heart-to-heart talk about their lives together. They never balance their books. They will pout and fret in secret over fancied slights, or burst into uncontrollable fits of anger over imagined wrongs, but it seldom occurs to them to call a family council, sit down calmly and talk things over.

It is an orphan child among commodities, which can always be abandoned in a pinch. Men lived for centuries almost entirely without it; tliej might do so again for days if the speculators will it. So it is not strange that sugar now is a central figure in a mob scene of speculators, producers. Government agents news writers and lu usetyl ves. The history of sugar is the most fascinating in the entire field of economics. Cane was first known in India and is mentioned by early -Sanskrit writers. The Chinese knew' it centuries before Christ. The conquering il west in the ninth Crusaders took it with them from Asia Minor to Europe; and it was traded in by early traders of Venice. It came into general domestic use in Britain after introduction at the table of Queen Elizabeth. Columbus look cane from the Canary Islands to Santo Domingo on his second trip to America. Cane sugar held undisputed sway until about 1747. when the German •scientist, Andreas Margraf. discovered that beets contained sugar. The great Napoleon was the first to appreciate the importance of the beet sugar industry. In 1811, to counteract the British blockade of the West Indian supply, Napoleon issued a famous decree establishing the beet sugar industry of France on a sound basis. With varying success, beet sugar culture was extended to other countries on the continent. In the eighties and nineties, beet sugar had supremacy over can sugar. Then the governments began to ellmi nate bounties and special aid and the struggle was about even. But the great war which tremendously curtailed beet production in France, Germany and Russia gave cane sugar a supremacy which is not likely again soon to be overcome.

Leaders carried buckets of water, which they intended—and did —use to extinguish the fire of the preacher's eloquence. Thus the meeting was broken up. But never flinching, Bubbes next day announced the regular service would go ahead as usual. And if any disturbes appeared, they would be greeted by buckshot and club. Now all is serene. The police, whom he has helped rid the eommunity of bootleggers and other undesirables, rallied to his aid.
