CRISIS AvERTED IN CHINESE
 SITUATION

TOXIC, May S-An open rupture between China and Japan has been averted by the submission of the Chi nese government to the demands of her neighbor. In case an accept ance of the ultimatum was not re- ceived within the time allowance, Jap an was prepared to occupy the chief industrial centers and the chief sections where the sources of China's wealth exist. A strong army had been mobilized and was ready to land in Northern China, occupying Pekin, Tientsin and the other important cit ies. All the Chinese railroad would have been easily seized and the ships of China swept from the sea.

Another illustration, little

other-"provided they are not in

Eide once added, when someone
made the remark.
Donna was dear and sweet and
Bill devotion itself to her, but
back in my head was the picture
OF Bill a half hour before with
Kitty's picture in his trembling
hands and his eyes filled with
tears. l believe that Bill would
be glad to blot the memory of
Kitty out of his life and give every
thought to Donna, but that is his
punishment-the memory of Kitty
-Kitty's smile, Kitty's big,
brown, tender eyes, Kitty's beau
tiful white hands, Kitty's dazzling
teeth-will come between him

Dick will ever come to understand
that wonder IL l will ever be
able to settle down as Donna has,
to peace and quiet. Just now that
foolish little black hair pin is
sticking right through my heart.
And yet I haven't said word
to Dick about it. Our life has
gone on just as peacefully as
usual. He goes out almost every
night somewhere; about once q
week he will either stay at home
or will go somewhere with me.
When he is home | cannot nag

spoil our little while together with

this the right way, l wonder?
Some women would say that was
condoning his offense.
The other evening at Bliene's q
number of married women were
talking together while our hus-
bands were in the billiard room.
Apropos to a recent divorce case
one woman said: II would never
Forgive my husband II found he
was untrue to me-
"Why not?" asked Eliene quiet
ly-and only knew what she had
forgiven.
: why, Eliene Symone, do you
mean to tell me THAI you would

was running about with other
women"

Eliene steadily.
"And IL you suspected he loved

"Well, still think / would ask
him which he would rather have.
the calm responsibility Of his old
life, or the turbulence of the
new" Eliene answered.
Then Donna Tenney spoke up:

be divorced from Will before
learned that my education was all
wrong, that l expected altogether
too much of marriage, that when
l was married first to Will ! was
what you call being In love-"
which, my dears, is very different
from loving.
Being in love is a selfish kind
of emotionn where one wants to
be gratified and petted every mo-
ment, but really loving, my dear,
means that you must understand
and excuse human inclinations
and human follies. It means CIV
ing much instead OF asking much.
"A woman must suffer many
heartaches,' she added with a
sigh, before she reaches the
wonderful condition OF under
standing where you know that
when you bear a mans name you
have something that he can give
to no other woman-somethi
which even he is careful of and
respects, and which he will
think long about before he will
try to take 1t away from you even
II his heartstrays.'
Eliene and | looked at each
other, and then l looked about
among those women and won
dered If each one of them had
little secret buried deep in her
heart that hurt, or IL it had got
ten over hurting and had left a

THE EASIEST WAY
TO END DANDRUFF

There is one sure way that
never fails to remove dandruff
completely and that is to dissolve
1t. This destroys 1t entirely. To
do this, just get about four
ounces of plain, ordinary LIQUID
arvon; apply it at night when re-
firing; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub 1t in gently with
the finger tips.
BY morning most, II not all, OF
your dandruff will be gone. and
three or four more applications
will completely Dissolve and en-
tirely, destroy, every single sign
and trace of 1t, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itch-
ing and digging of the scalp will
stop instantly, and your hair will
be fluffy, lustrous, glossy, silky
and soft, and look and feel q hum
dred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t 10 inexpensive.
and four ounces is all you will
need. This simple remedy has
never been known to fail. adv.
