x-Rays to Tell Age.

Boston. - BY the testimony of
X-ray photographs, Chang Hong,
twice denied permission to enter the
United States as an adult Chinese,
hopes to prove that he is only II, a
minor, and hence admissible. Drs.
Bonney and Granger, with Harvard
experts, made X-ray photographs of
the Chinaman's bones, which they de-
clared show his age to within a
month.

ErilIs of the Day.

Rich little black dresses are very
often relieved by gay Bulgarian or
oriental embroidery. A collar or little
guimpe of lace and again handsome
silk braid is the trimming and little
gold buttons relieve the blacS.
The all-black frock for ball and din
ner wear is very much in evidence,
but it is usually frightened with jet
or rich embroideries in colors.
Quaint little silk hoods to cover the
hair and keep the dust out are both
novel and becoming.
Italian silk blankets to add to the
covers in the train stateroom come in
many pretty colors and fold up very
small.

Gardens for Table Decorations.

Miniature gardens are among the
novelties in table decorations. Tiny
flower beds are filled with geraniums,
hyacinths, heather, roses, carnations,
ferns and other dainties of the horti-
culturists' are. Dwarf trees from
Japan fill in the gaps. Often poin-
settia is used for the centerpiece.

and richly-tinted apricots.

Empire Waist Line.

The straight, narrow lines not over
accumulated and the shortened waist
line are very pretty in the one-piece
rotting frocks of linen, silk, etc.,
which are being made for southern
wear, though the empire waist line
must always be handled very care

air suitable to the boudoir rather
than the street.

SEES WAR IN
TEN MONTHS
United States Will Have to Fight
Japan, Says HObSOn.
PANAMA CANAL WILL Be DESTROYED.

lions - Says Warfare May Even
Extend to Ten Years and That We
VIII Carry Ii to the Land of Nip
pom and Conquer That Kingdom.
Washington, d. C.-Japan and the
United States will go to war in the
near future. The conflict will begin
in less than ten months The war
will last five years, perhaps ten. The
Panama Canal will be destroyed and
in the end this nation will carry the
war to Japan and conquer that king
dom.
These are few of the predictions
made by Representative Richmond
Pearson Hobson, of Alabama, who
used to be an officer in the Navy, on
the floor of the House of Repre-
sentatives.
I'VE will be struck" he cried,
and when we are-gentlemen may
differ with me as to the time, but |
firmly believe it can be counted in
months on the fingers of my two
hands-we will find ourselves prac-
tically powerless. The nations of the
world will call on us to give up the
war and not continue to disturb the
peace of the world just as we did
with Russia in her war with Japan.
Our own financiers will demand that
we end an apparently hopeless strug-
gle.
I'VE viii Fight to End"
But we will not give up. We will
fight on, angered and Inundated, un-
til it becomes a mere question of
resources. Ever since we went into
Hawaii, ever since we took possess
sion of the Philippines, declining to
let Japan in there with us, ever since
their citizens came to this country
and received the treatment from our
people that the difference in race
made inevitable, Japan has been pre-
pairing for war with us. And the
Jananese in this country are helping
her"
Representative Gaines, of West
Virginia, asked Mr.. Hobson if Japan
would find it possible to finance
war with the United States.
Japan" Mr.. Hobson replied, sis
the only nation today that is clever
enough to finance a war before it
begins. She is bankrupt today be-
cause she has already financed the
war she will wage against us"
The Alabama member urged the
creation of a vast standing army and
the building of a great navy as the
only solution of the problem. He
contended that the Navy of the Unit
ed States is at present inadequate.
These statements were brought
out during the discussion of the
naval appropriation bill.
Lively Fight in Sight.
The bill was considered at great
length in the House during an after
noon and night session, and practi-
cally all of the provisions of the
measure were agreed to with the ex-
ception of the new building program,
which is expected to precipitate a
lively fight.
The bill provides for two battle
ships of the superdreadnough type,
carrying II 14-inch guns; two fleet
Golfers, eight torpedo-boat destroy
ers and four submarines. An at
tempt will be made both to decrease
and increase this program, but the
committee believes it has enough
votes to carry it through
