with no misfortune and always reached

Philadelphia Jawn put on some big
league stun in the earlier rounds, when
he distracted Hauber's attention long
enough to allow Brother Jack to get in
some telling blows. Haubcr was plainly
worried and hurled Il few kind words in
Jawn's direction. 1t lis said that Jawn
was making faces at Henry, but at late
hour this could not be verified. AT any
rate, Muggsy Taylor whispered n cou-
pie of words in Haubers ear at the end
of the round and it was noticed that
Henry kept his back turned to Mr.,

Fatimas are sold than any other
cigarette in the world costing
over Sc.
But the taste isn't all.
IF you do like Fatimas' taste
as well as these thousands and
thousands of other men do, you'll
find a second reason for sticking
to them for good. And thatreason
is that Fatimas will give you
cigarette comfort at all times.
This is why they have won the
name of being as SENSIBLE a
cigarette as a man can find any
where.
They are comfortable to the
throat and tongue. You'll never
experience any "sandpaper

Fatimas.
And Fatimas can be smoked
more freely than any other ciga-

WHITE PINE is IN PERIL
Blister Rust In the East Has Caused
Heavy Ravages in
Timber.

The present is n gloomy hour for the
forestry enthusiasts. especially In the
eastern states, where so much rell-
ance is being placed upon the white
pine as the tree par excellence for
quickly rehabilitating onr shabby
woodlands. Last years discoveries in
Massachusetts OF the dread blister
rust of Europe led other states to in
vestigate within their borders. The
active and well organized co-opera-
tive effort that Is now being made by
the federal department of agriculture
and the officers Of the several states
whose timber interests are involved
indicates the seriousness with which
they regard the situation. Since their
work for the control Of the disease
began In the early summer IL has be-
come apparent that while Massachu-
setts is beyond question dangerously
infected in certain sections, other
states, whose officers regarded their
territory as relatively free, are, In fact,
no better Off than we. All New Eng
land is on the fever map. and even
Wisconsin and Minnesota lnvestigN-
tors have lately turned up infection.
Hope for the successful control Of
the fungus is not forlorn, consider
ing the plant pathologists who are con
tucting the campaign. The greatest
need of the present hour, however, is
llvelier interest on the part of our
woodland owners.

MPAN WILL HELP CHlNl
viii Float Big Loan Chinese Finan-
eiers Failed to Get In This
Country.

Japan is preparing to lend $4,000
700 TO China. This is the result of the
failure of China TO float loan In
New York. Like ourselves, the Jap
anese have made money out Of the war
and are able TO extend credit to other
Countries. This loan will strengthen
Japan's influence In China, but we
have no right to object. We would not
help China. Those who say Japan Will
dominate China and that trade Will
follow money are probably right. We
can learn something from Japan.
Just as China Is within Japans
sphere of influence so is all Latin
America within our sphere of in
nuence. We have no designs on our
neghbors other than our desire to
trade with them and TO have peace In
this hemisphere. Most Of the Latin
American republics need money quite
Us much MS China does. We have more
available capital than any other coun-
try, perhaps more than all other ma
tons combined. The United States Is
the only place where sufficient money
can be found at present to meet the
requirements OF Latin America. If we
invest money we will secure trade just
as we expect Japan to do In China. In
stead Of weeping about lost opportuni-
Ties In the Orient let us improve our
own In the Americas. No compllca-
lions with other Great Powers about
open doors and spheres of influence
need be feared in this hemisphere and
our exporters will find fewer Difficult
ties in the languages and trade Gus
toms. Losing n chance in China Is a
good reason for not losing others In
the Amerlcas.-New York Commercial
