question met with no encouragement in Wash ington, and rightly so.

The present administration is true to our tradition of not becoming involved with Euro

pean powers in entangling alliances, and so the suggestion of Lloyd George, uttered in good faith and reflecting his method of settling the

problem, was rejected. Washington believes that the

ples of governing the far eastern question should be accepted as a basis of action rather than an alliance of the three interested powers. America also is not taking at its face value the utterances' of the prime minister in which he lauded Japan's part in the war and said it would be poor taste if Great Britain now discarded her ally. Most Americans are trying to recall what the great services of Japan in the war really were. She lost 479 killed in the taking of Tsing-tau and sent her navy to search for a German raider in the Pacific, although an Australian cruiser found it. And in return Japan was handed a rich province in China and all the islands of the sea held by Germany north of the equator, including Yap. Perhaps Japan did some service for Great Britain of which we know nothing, but that will not induce our government to enter into a triple alliance with Great Britain and Japan. John Bull's diplomacy for centuries has al

Good Evening By ROY K. MOULTON CONFESSIONS OF A CYNIC 1 am always delighted when a man who makes half as much as I do tells me how to run my business. I never heard of a foreign count who had anything to count. I would be Just as well pleased if some of the restaurant orchestras played dominoes instead of musical instruments.

Personally, we are a blushing violet, loalh to become unpleasantly conspicuous. So last night at the theater we had to sit in agony while a mosquito cafeteriaed off our hand and wait for the audience to applaud so that we might smite him one. And it seemed that never in the history of the American drama were artists' efforts so unappreciated. Answers to Questions Miss S. R A ditch 100 yards Ions.

Reader How many different relisions are there in the United States? How many , different races of people and how many different languages? The census reports specify 62 forms or religion in the United States, and these, are subdivided into numerous branches. Thirty-nine different races of people are tabulated in the census, hut 10 percent of the population is referred to under the head "and others." We are told that there are upward of 1.00 languages and dialects on this continent, and the census is not sperific in dealing with all of them. Curious I have wondered and wondered anu wondered why the figure 4 on the clock, dial is indicated by HIT. instead of IV. Can you explain this peculiarity. It is laid to the arbitrary will of an old French king. Charles V, or Charles the Wise, of France, still rules the clockmakers who use Roman numerals on their dials. Tradition has it among watch and clock makers that the clock dial was first made by Henry Vick in the year 1370. and he made it for Charles V. When the dial of the clock was submitted for approval, Charles studied it long and carefully. Finally he remarked, The clock is all right with one exception: 'the figure four should be four re instead of IV." Vick told the king that he was wrong, whereupon Charles bristled up with offended dignity and thundered. "I am never wrong, fake this clock away and correct your mistake." There was nothing else to do. Vicli used tho syinboU ordered

He is not noted for his generosity and his inclination to give away something for nothing. Whenever he enters a diplomatic conference, rest assured that he is going to get his share of spoils. The Versailles treaty is the latest example of his way of doing business diplomatically. While the United States talked ideals, John Bull grabbed trade concessions and possessions worth

Go to the Polls The primary election Tuesday should be marked by a heavy participation of voters registering their choice for the Republican nominees, especially for mayor. An apathetic interest in the primary has been apparent. This condition is not local to Richmond alone, but has been observed wherever primaries were held this year. Richmond has too much at stake Tuesday to refrain from voting for the candidates. The character of an administration of four years will be determined.

TODAY'S TALK By George Matthew Adams, Author of "You Can", "Take It", "Up" THE ONE IDEA MAN There is a chap in the western part of the United States who has the agency for a certain automobile. Last winter when times were exceedingly hard and the snow a3 exceedingly abundant, the orders rolled into the main office of this automobile concern from this young fellow out West. So unusual was this thriving business, that the managers wrote and asked how it happened that he sent in so many orders. And this was his reply: "I didn't know I was supposed not to sell them!" There are some people who are able to see nothing but the thing at hand. And so they empty their souls into what they do and thing3 get done. Errors and mistakes? Yes. Sidetracked at times? Yes. But eventually a clean path is hewn over which they may walk in confident style. One idea is enough if it is a good one. Better have one idea that works and does business than a thousand that merely creep. Better strive for a single objective far away, that is full of worth and greatness, than drivel away years in pickings close at hand that die with the day in which they are born. Bion J. Arnold, the distinguished engineer, told me once and recently he put the same idea in a published article that you never get anything that is really substantial until you want it so badly that it "hurts". The one-idea man is laughed at frequently at the start but he is almost always applauded at the end. For every great idea must first be wrapped with bands of steel in the shape of courage. One has to bear much, concentrate continually, get discouraged scores of times, and learn the art of waiting. Life itself is really a one-idea affair to leave something behind that the world will want to take note ofT

Reports are curent in England that Andrew Bonar Law intends to return to public lite. The Manchester guardian says it is rumored in political quarters that a suggestion has been mad? to him to go to the Washington conference, either as the principal British representative or as the first lieutenant of Premier Lloyd George, should that official be able to leavo England. If this proposal should become effective, it would assure the presence in Washington for Great Britain at the No vember conference of a straight shrewd and tactful man. Mr. Law's friends hope for that eventuality and the British public would surely be pleased with it. Andrew Bonar Law is 63 years old. A Canadian by birth, he became an I iron- merchant in Glasgow, bcotiana. I In 1911 he entered the house of com mons. He was minority leader m the commons from 1911 to 1915. In the latter year he enterd the cabinet as secretary of state for the colonies. He was chancellor of the exchecquer, 191fi-1918. Until his retirement he had been leader of the house of commons frsom 1916. Dinner Stories An American tells of a visit he once made to the town of Yuste in the northwestern corner of Spain. He had sought rest under discouraging circumstances after a ride on muleback over miles of dusty road. While the hostess of the inn was preparing his dinner he proposed to himself to rest upon the bed in the public room. Nothing could, he says, have been more tempting than that cool, white

Scarcely had he done so when a shriek arose and the little woman flew at him like a wild creature. She seized him and dragged him off the bed with the strength of two men. He was too much dazed to resist, but retreated before her. "Oh, Dios mio, Dios mio!" she shouted. "They are ruined ruined!" Whereupon she tore the cover off the bed, and, to the traveler's amazement, disclosed row after row of biscuits! They had been placed there to rise. To rise!

ANSELL ACCUSED IN BERGDOLL PLOT Samuel Samuel T. Ansell, former acting iudsre advocate general of the army, is characterized in the majority report of a special house investigating committee as "the master mind" in the plan by which Grover Cleveland bergdoll, war slacker, was released from a military prison under guard to dig up a pot of gold, and then permitted to escape. The minority report of the committee exonerates Ansell, and Ar.sell says the minority is right ' Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON SCOLDED I'm tired of being scolded by highly moral folk, whose thin lips neer unfolded to laugh at any joke. So earnestly crusading to have all evils banned, for years they've been parading across the weary land; so stern is their demeanor they leave me stricken dumb, as they denounce the weiner, and curse the stick of gum. Their banners fiercely holding, they push themselves along, and scolding, always scolding, they bore the human throng. If they would spring some laughter, hand out a timely jest, they'd see me follow after with far more pep and zest; but they all balk at humor as up the heights they climb; they think a joke's a bloomer, and happiness a crime.

be swarming and not stir up my bile, if they would try reforming with something like a smile; but they are always bitter while handing oit their jolts; they never chirp or twitter or kick around like colts. They never try to josh us or jolly us along, but, grim, severe and cautious, they tell us where we're wrong. They never try to fold us to bosoms warm and true, but stand around and scold us and swipe our home made brew. They never try to lead us, with love light in their lamps, but bludgeon us and bleed us and call us sinful scamps. Oh, I might well be molded to suit the moral law, but that I have been scolded until my nerves are raw.

A GENTLE WAY TO END CORNS The Modern Method, Scientific, Easy, Quick and Sure The old corn enders were harsh, crude and uncertain. They came into disrepute. Then a world-famed laboratory created a new method, and millions have adopted it. The new -way is Blue-jay liquid or plaster. One applies it by a touch. The pain stops instantly, and soon the whole corn loosens and comes out. To pare a corn and keep it now is folly. Stop it the moment it appears. Remove it in this gentle way. Watch one corn go when Bluejay is applied. You will let it deal with all corns after that. Send to the drug store now.

SQUIRRELS, RABBITS, ! MORE PLENTIFUL IN 1 OHIO THIS SEASON Hunting is going to be better in Ohio this year than it has for a long time. Game is more plentiful now than at any time in the last ten years. This is the prediction made by A. C Baxter, chief of the division of fish and game. Reports reaching the division from all parts of the state indicate that sportsmen will be in clover when the hunting seasons open, Baxter declared. The increase in game, he asserted, is due to game protectors having been more active in preventing unlawful summer hunting. All territories are being patrolled with motorcycles and automobiles. When Season Opens The squirrel season opens Sept. 15, and ends Oct. 20. both dates inclusive.

Squirrels are plentiful, especially in me- wooaea sections of southern ana eastern Ohio. Five squirrels only may be taken at one time, and it is unlawful to sell or purchase a squirrel. Thf penalty for violation of the squirrel section of the state hunting law Is a fine of from $25 to $200, with each squirrel a separate offense. "No leniency will be shown those who hunt before the season opens, and warning is given now," ea'.d Baxter. , Rabbits are plentiful, Baxter said. Ringneck pheasants also have shown a big increase. The state distributed 60,000 pheasants' eggs to sportsmen and farmers, to be hatched, and the young ones liberated, this year, and 200 live pheasants from the game farm at Wellington have been placed in each county. There are ordinarily six or seven typhoons a year off the coast of Guaymas, Mexico.
