which vote should be taken upon
any pending question. and fixing the
limit of time any senator could occu'

1t Is not of lofty or heroic deeds that
the enduring pattern of character Is
woven, but rather of the seemingly
small things of life. Little unheralded
acts of helpfulness, slight self denials
that bar against selfishness, conscien-
tious attention to trifiing details of du-
ty, standing firm to the right in spite
of banter and contempt (really the most
difficult thing for young or old to with
stand), adherence to scrupulous homes
ty in word and deed even in, what 9th
ers consider of no import, sticking to
principle though one may be called
"old fashioned" ''unprogressive" or
"puritanicar' - these are the golden
strands which, woven into the fabric
of daily living, make men and women
vincible.-Success. '~

Seattle. Wash, March 13.-lnvest1
CATION by customs officers into the
slave traffic of young girls brought
from Japan into the United States and
sold to men who farm them out for
immoral purposes has revealed a de-
plorable state of affairs, much greater
in extent than ever before anticipated.
Japanese consuls in this district will
lend aid in breaking up the business
and their influence to have every per
son deported for connection with the
traffic punished on their arrival in
japan. Assurances have been given
the Japanese government that the
matter will be taken up and the laws
enforced, which provide severe pun
ishment for such acts of misconduct.
