No other cooking appliance has yet been invented no

of the present generation.
You can cook by other methods, but you cook
well with little work and worry; the cost, moreover
usually great deal higher than the of cooking with gas
The only methods that less expensive impractical

From the Dover State Sentinel.
The educational conference held in
Newark last week, with Dr.. ClaXton,
United states Commissioner OF Edu-
cation, is the beginning Of a move
ment that means great things for
popular education in Delaware. II is
not quite true to say that it is the be-
ginning, however. but it comes at a
very opportune time and fits in admi-
rably with the movement that Della
ware has already started for improv-
ed schools in the country, in the town,
in the city of Wilmington and in our
State College for men and women.
There is saying that nothing sue
cceds like success, and the success
that has already come to Delaware in
efforts TO improve the educational ia
cilities of the State has brought this
new aid that means practically the
whole force and influence of the
United States Department of Educa-
ton TO develop the greatest possible
efficiency of every agency now at work
( i'm Delaware to promote popular edu-
cation, and to introduce new agencies
wherever they can be made effective,
/ The earnest spirit OF cooperation
manifested by those who attended tho
conference furnished the proof that
all these new forces and all the old
| forces. will work together for the ac-
complishmont of the high purpose ol
placing Delaware in the forefront oi
educational progress.

Japanese immigration; China will not
be able to deal with other nations in
important matters without first OBJ
tanning the consent of Japan; great
natural resources, such as iron and
coal mines, will be turned over to
Japan.
Thus China is to 60 the way Of
Persia. which is now practically ab.
sorbed by Russia and Great Britain.
In Persia the two great powers reach
ed an understanding by the simple
device of drawing a line through the
victim. giving the northern half TO
Russia and the southern half to
Great Britain. The process was so
easy and effective that il would not
be surprising to see it repeated in
China with Japan and Great Britain
as the beneficiaries.
The United States is interested in
China, and has perfect right 10 call
halt on the dismemberment OF that
country and the closing of the open
door. But the present administration
virtually disclaimed any desire TO
safeguard American rights i'm China
when it made its proclamation re-
garding the proposed inteynational

stay out of China, and they did so
Even if the administration were now
to acknowledge its mistake and re-
verse its position. the question might

GObbIiHg Up China
CFrom The washington Post.)

Il is noticed that Japans demands
upon China relate almost wholly TO
the northern territory OF the republic.
particularly within Japan's sphere of
influence.
Great Britain's interests in China
are mostly in the southern portion of
the republic.
The German version of the re-
markable transactions in China is
that Japan and Great Britain have
reached an understanding whereby
Japan will be given free hand in
northern China and Manchuria and
that Great Britain will feel equally
free to operate in southern China. In
short, Japan and Great Britain have
conspired to protect the integrity OF
China and keep 1t from falling into
the hands of outside powers by divid-
ing ii between themselves.
Whether this German view be cor.
rect or not, il is clear that Japan is
determined to wrest from China OK
traordinary concessions. even if il
must resort to force 10 is equally
clear that Great Britain is not raising
any objection TO this procedure but
on the contrary, has officially an
nOunced that it is not interfering
with Japan.
Japans demands are in direct vio-
latiOn OF the terms of the treaty be-
tween Japan and Great Britain, un-
der which both nations agree to re-
spect the territorial integrity of China
and to secure for all nations equal
opportunities for trade in China. II
