MELBOURNE

Two startling news pictures
will be thrown on the screen at
the Melbourne theater for the
weekend program beginning to-
day. The first picture of the
Steffansson Arctic expedition now
on its way to the North Pole will
be shown, and the other big fea-
ture is the sight of an aviator
falling to his death.

sensation last night at Pantages'
theater by appearing In a box
with purple gown and purple
hair. She was the first woman
in Tacoma to appear In one of

rather than being ridiculous, as
many persons had predicted, the
effect of the colored hair was
singularly stunning.

"The ideal Catalogue"

A librarians IDEA OF the most useful
form of catalogue for library is given
as follows:
The ideal catalogue for public Ii
brary is one published with one line
entries, each being about twice as long
as the average newspaper column is
wide This catalogue is published in
the form of newspaper, on cheap
paper, cheapiy printed. Il is sold by
the library at about two cents
copy The copies sold arc soon WORT
Que or thrown away and dc not come
back in after years to reI the librar
ian. The library keeps the whole
thing in type. takes out some titles ev.
cry month. adds new ones. and prints
a new edition. This catalogue cor.
tains author entries only. II q man
wishes to know anything about tn:
books in the public library that this
catalogue does not tell he goes TO the
library and finds out by asking; if he
wishes information concerning books
on certain subject he goes to Dibii-
ography of that subject; il he wishes
TO know certain specific things about
certain hooks he asks to see the books

Look Ahead,

There are some people who ride all
through the journey of life With their
backs to the horses heads. They are
always looking into the past. They
are forever talking about the good
old times, and how different things
were when they were young. There is
no romance in the world now, and no
heroism. The very winters and SUM-
mers are nothing to what they used TO
be: in fact, life is altogether on a
small. commonplace scale. Now, that
is a miserable sort of thing. 1t brings
a%kind of 5paralyzing chill over life,
and petrifes the natural spring Of JOY
that should be forever leaping up to
inset the fresh new mereies that the
day keeps bringing.

WeIIinoton Could Tell Little of Battle
Plans, But He Knew HImseif

Wellington's reticence once drew a
protest from Lord UXbridse, the bril-.
liant cavalry leader who lost leg at
Waterloo. On the eve Of the great bat
tie Uxbridge, although next to Yelling
ton in command. knew nothing of his
chiefs plans for the morrow's battle.
With trepidation he approached the
duke. Ii Wellington were killed Tx
bridge would become commander in
chief. What was the plan? The duke
listened patiently.
Tell me, Uxbridge, who will ATTACK
the first tomorrow or Bonaparte?
Undoubtedly Bonaparte:,'
We'll, Bonaparte hasn't given me
any idea of his projects, and IS my
plans depend upon his plans, how can
YOU expect me to tell you Dline?"
UXbridge bowed and was about TO re
tire when the duke aided in the
friendliest way: There's one thing
certain, Uybridge. whatever happens,

JAPAN NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD
Eastern Empire Has Through the
Centuries Retained Keen Sense
of Its individuality.

Japanese history has been the rec.
ord of a practically uninterrupted ra-
cial life. The islands which consti-
tute the empire of Japan have not only
never been conquered, they have
never been invaded, writes Hamilton
w. Mabie in the Outlook
The emperor now reigning is the
1920 Of his dynasty; the development
OF the life Of the people, whatever
its limitations and defects, has been
uninterrupted by disturbance from
without. 1t has been deeply Influenced
by Asiatic ideals and conventions; but
the foreign ideals and manners which
have found acceptance by the Jap
anese nave made their way by persua-
sion, not by arms.
Japan differs radically from the
other countries of the East in its pos
session of a sensitive national con-
seriousness and OF a thorough and min
ute social and political organization.
In this respect it stands ID striking
contrast to other oriental countries.
So far as the feeling OF radical unity
and the consciousness OF sharply de-
fined national aims and interests are
concerned, India and China have been
mere geographical terms, conveying
no such group of ideas, convictions
and mental habits as the word Italy,
France and England convey.
Japan, on the other hand, has as
keen a sense of it's Individuality, so as
to speak, as any western nation; and
In point of thoroughness of organiza.
ton stands beside Germany. The i'm.
mense significance Of this fact has
not yet been recognized in the West.
