PACT AS TO CHINA
State Department to Issue
Statement of Agreement.
EXCHANGES WITH BERLIN
Admitted That Period of Greatest
Strain Is Being Reached.

The State Department let it he known
today that there probably would be an
official announcement in the course OF 1
q day or two regarding the steps that
have been taken to secure an agree
ment between the six powers concerned
in the Chinese situation to act in con-
cert. 1t was admitted that there have
been recent exchanges with the German
foreign Office on that subject, as indi-
Gated in last nights Berlin dispatches.
These are believed to have been q con-
tinuation of the original undertaking
initiated by Secretary Knox which has so
far enabled the powers to successfully
resist any temptation to seek individual
advantage from the Chinese develop
ments. 1t is believed that it will still
hold water though the period Of great
est strain Is being reached.

Here's a Scientific Clothes Line Post

A bright woman recently de-
cided that much time was lost and
much energy wasted on washdays
in putting up and taking down the
clothes line.
She caused a post to be con-
structed at one end of her yard
that was really hollow box and
was large enough to hold the en-
tire clothes line. Then she Sc
cured four double pulley blocks. a
single pulley and couple Of sash
weights.
She attached one end of the
line to the weights which she fas-
tened together. Two of the dou-
BILE blocks were also attached to
the weights. The other two and
the single pulley were fastened
to the inside of the top of the box
like post. Then the clothes lines
was rove through the blocks and
lastly through the pulley. A cover
with a hole in it was nailed over
the post and the rope brought
through the hole.
Now on washdays In this wom-
ans home the washerwoman
simply takes the end of the
clothes line that protrudes
through the hole in the post. car
ries it back and forth across the
yard weaving 1t through the
hooks or nails in the other posts
and finally hooks the end over the
last post. When the clothes are
