JAPANESE MINISTER TALKS
(Continued from First Page. j

(Continued from First Page.) which has been presented to congress,
 He referred to the fact that the Amer ican nation is to-day supreme in the the agricultural and industrial business of the world, but is at the very lowest in regard to it's merchant marine. He referred first to the growth of the mer- chant marine on the great lakes and said that this had been accomplished, first by our natural advantages and
 second by the protection given by the
 United States government.
 The coastwise trade of this country
 has grown almost as rapidly under the
 same provisions and the same protec-
 tion. In 1789 the first congress passed
 laws allowing the increase of the mer-
 chant marine. The tonnage of the
 American vessels in the foreign trade
 at that time was 123,S9s tons. After
 ten years it had increased to 534Ooo
 tons. In 1921 the American ships car
 ried sS per cent. of the foreign com
 merce. In 1926 it reached the high wa-
 ter mark and carried 92 5-10 per cent
 In 1861 was the highest point we ever reached when the American ships carried 2,396,894 tons to foreign ports and then it began to decrease. It de- creased 40 per cent. from 1881 to 1885, From the highest point in 1861, when we carried 92 per cent. we have de- creased until to-day American ships only carry per cent of the foreign tonnage.
 We are building a magnificent navy and shall continue until we are second to no nation. We should also build something for that navy to defend. The amount now paid annually by American merchants into the pockets of foreign ship owners is $2OO,OO0, ,O0O No country on the face of the globe could stand that drain but the United States. And why need we stand it? We can see how the subsidy is affecting England and her war with South Afrl- ca. Her vessels have been taken for transporting her troops and munitions while the raw materials from our mines, etc, are lying on our docks and awaiting transportation abroad
 MT Hanna spoke of the bill introduce ed into congress last year and declared that the bill that was presented last Monday had been simplified and modi- fled to meet the objections to the form CT one. He declared that the present bill was designed to benefit American own CTS and American capital only, and that if something was not done to protect the American merchant marine soon every channel of trade, every hole would be plugged by merchants of England Germany and France until the Americans should have to fight to get it. He declared that the only solu- tion for the problem was to place the American merchant marine on an equal footing with the other countries. By figures he showed that the European countries are paying subsidies amount ing to $2S, 100000 per year.
 He bespoke the support of the mer- chants of Boston for the new bill

THE GRADUATES CLUB.

Informal Meeting Held-No Action
 Concerning New Building.
 There was a perfectly informal meet ing of members of the Graduates club last night. Rumor had it that definite action with reference to the erection of an elegant new club house was to be taken. That any such action was taken or that there was any formal vote con- corning this very important matter was denied in toto by a prominent member of the club last night, He stated that there was a goodly number present at the meeting but no minuets were made, no resolutions offered and no plans pro- posed.
 Simply few present made remarks concerning the idea of new building and it was the concensus of opinion that there was need of new quarters and that the club would be greatly benefited by same. It is almost cer- tain that this informal action, if such it may be called, will very soon crystal lize into definite movement for a handsome new substantial structure as the home of the club.

 About 7;S0 o'clock King and Sam uelson, the latter relieving his partner, made a daring attempt to secure the coveted lap which would put them in line with the leaders. Billy King sprinted and secured an advantage of one quarter of the oval amid tremen- dous applause. His partner relieved him and held the slight gain for some time until Walthour caught him. Me Eachern then relieved Walthour and the pace was fast.

FIGURES WENT WRONG. Som ething about Food that Saves one
 from Brain Flag.

That food can make or break man is shown in thousands of cases. If ones work requires the use of the brain, the food must furnish particles that will build up the brain and replace the daily loss.
 Many times people fall i'll not know the lack of the right kind of food to keep the body nourished.
 As an illustration: A young man in Chatham, Va, says, "I have been en- ployed for quite time in large to- bacco warehouse here. My work re- uuired great deal of calculating, run ming up long and tiresome columns of figures. Last winter my health began to give out and I lost from two to ten days out of every month.
 I gradually got worse instead of bet ter. It was discovered that when I did work many mistakes crept into my call culations in spite of all I could do. It was, of course, brain flag and exhaus tion After dragging along for several months I finally gave up my position for every remedy on earth that I tried seemed to make me worse instead of better and I had to force down what
 
 food I ate, hating to see meal time come.
 One day a friend said, "Crider, do VOL know there is food called Grape Nuts that I believe is made to fit just such eases as yours?" The name rather attracted me and I tried the food. The delicious, swedish taste pleased me and I relished it. In about week my old color began to come back and I gained in strength every day. Finally l weighed and found I was gaining fast in flesh, and with the strength came the desire for work, and when I went back I found that my mind was as ac- curate as ever and ready to tackle any thing.
 I now can do as much work as any man, and know exactly from what my benefit was derived, and that is from Grape Nuts. I feel that it is but fair and just that my experience be known" E. P. Crider, Chatham, Va.

THE HANDY PISTOL.

Brookman's Ugly Dream and Its Sequel. Aroused from sleep Tuesday morn | ing by the sound of a revolver shot he had fired when dreaming, William Brookman of Austin was mortified to see that blood was tricl1ling from the forehead of his wife, who lay beside him. Despite the frantic assurances that she was uninjured, Brookman staggered screaming from the bed, placed the weapon against his own head, fired and fell backward over the body of his wife, dying almost instantly.
 Brookman had drawn "a revolver from beneath his pillow and fired at his wife while dreaming of burglars. The shot grazed the woman's forehead, scorching her hair, and imbedded it. self in the wall behind Then Brook man awaoke.

As he paused, a sugges tion of his purpose flashed into her mind, and, springing up, she attempted to grasp the arm that held the revolv- CT.

WltA their mother, they gathered screaming about the body of Brookman. Neighbors who entered shortly afterward found them so overcome with horror as to be un- able to explain the fatality.
 For years Brookman had been wor- ried about burglaries. He talked about them by day and dreamed about them by night. Often he awoke from sleep to listen to some fancied noise. Some time ago he purchased a revolver and insisted upon placing the weapon be- meath his pillow every night, despite the remonstrances of his wife.

a man whose services to his country as
 brave pioneer and righteous judge, as
 a soldier and statesman, are by no
 means deserving of oblivion, still less
 of obloquy. It seems, indeed, one of the
 iniquites of Fate that his name should
 now be universally applied to proceed
 ings that no one would condemn more
 heartily than he. The records of the
 court of Bedford County, in Virginia,
 and those of various Quaker meetings, the journals of the Virginia House of
 Burgesses and of the first Constitutional
 Convention, taken together with family
 documents and traditions, show him to
 have been an upright and useful mem-
 Der of society and wise and energetic
 leader at the most important crisis of American history.
 After the end of the Revolution Col. Lynch resumed his duties as justice of the peace and member of the assembly. Time and again, as before the war, we find him mentioned in the court records as active for the welfare of the com munity. We find him acting as umpire to settle the little disputes of his neigh bors, as executor of the estates of his friends as one by one they passed away, as guardian of the orphans, as overseer of the poor, in nearly every field where a man of honor and firmness was need ed He lived to see his country free and peace declared with England, to renew his friendship with those of his Tory neighbors that had felt his severity in time of war, to see the government of the United States reorganized, and to vote for the new Constitution in 17SS. In 1796 he died at the age of sixty, and was buried at his home on the banks of the Staunton, in country which he had found primeval wilderness, where the savage and the beast of prey shared the supremacy, and which he left a peaceful and law-abiding mmunity-Thomas Walker Page in the Atlantic Monthly.

R. L. STEVENSON TO A PAINTER

R. L. STEVENSON TO A PAINTER.
 Beware of realism; it is the devil; 1t is one of the means of art, and now they make it the end And such is the farce of the age in which man lives that we all, even those of us who most detest it, sin by realism.
 Notes for the student of art:
 "d.) Keep an intelligent eye upon all the others. It is only by so doing that you come to see what art is; art is the end common to them all; it is none of the points by which they differ.
 "(2.) Tn this age beware of realism.
 "(3) In your art bow your head over techniue. Think of techniue when you rise and when you go to bed. Forget purposes in the meanwhile; get to love technical resources. to glory in techni- al successes; get to see the world en-
 rely through technical speotacles, to
 ee it entirely in terms of what you can. Then, when you have anything to say,
 he language will be apt and copious.
 My health is better.
 q have no photographs just now; but when I get one you shall have copy. It will not be like me; sometimes turn l capital fresh bank clerk; once came out the image of Runjeet Singh; again the treacherous sun has fixed me in the character of travelling evangelist. It's quite lottery; but whatever the next venture proves to be, soldier, sailor, tinker, tailor, you shall have proof Reciprocate. The truth is, I have no appearance; a certain air of disreputa- bility is the one constant character that my face presents; the rest change like water. But still I am lean, and still dis  fl, sprfuicSEgrol tlb tyosel nh m m m
 Cling to your youth. It is an artists stock in trade. Don't give in that you are aging. and you won't age. Ihaves exactly the same faults and qualities still; only little duller, greedier and. better tempered; a little less tolerant of pain and more tolerant of tedium. The last is great thing for life. but uuery-a bad endowment for art?
 Another note for the art student:
 "(4) See the good in other peoples work; it will never be yours. See the bad in your own, and don't cry about 1t; it will be there always. Try to use your faults; at any rate, use your of them, and don't run your head against stone walls Art is not ike theology; nothing is forced. You nave not to represent the world. You nave to represent only what you can with pleasure and effect, and | he way to find out what that is is by | technical exercise. ."-Harper's Maga- | zine.
