FRENCH NEW YEARS
 CUSTOM IS SUSPENDED

Paris, Jan. 5.-The long standing French custom of exchange of visiting cards at the beginning of the New Year has been suspended by the war It is quite possible that it will never be generally rfvived. @ The customs had once bef6re fallen into almost total neglect and President FalIieres is credited with reviving it for the benefit of the industries -cardmakers, printers and stattoners-who derived a considerable income from the in- dustry.
 According to the tradition, a person was allowed about fifteen days after the beginning of the year to send his card to all persons whose acquain- tance he regarded as worth cultivat- ing. When the custom became gen eraI certain of it's drawbacks made themselves felt acutely. A single person overlooked acquired for the person in default grudge that was stronger than the gratitude of all those that were remembered by him. Many a bitter enmity had it's origin in the simple forgetfulness of a, per son to observe this custom.
 The exchange of visiting cards, orig inaIIy purely a social matter, became also introduced into business. Men who had social intercourse what ever, but had reason to cultivate each others acquaintance commercially, adopted the method of sending their cards at the beginning of the year. The result was such a burden upon the postal authorities that every New Years Day special boxes had to be provided at the postof1ces for the re- ception of visiting cards. The revi- val of the custom a few years ago was hailed with a great deal of grunn- bling; those, who considered it a n' :: sance were neverth eIess obliged to fall in line for fear of lacking considera- at1on among their acquatntances. Last year the visiting card was replaced

NEW CHINESE EMPEROR
 WORKS LONG AND HARD

Picking, Jan. 5.-President Yuan Shi-kai (Emperor-e1ect1 is a steady and systematic worker According to military officer serving on his staff who has recently written a de- script on of the chief executives dai- 1y habits, Yuan Shi-kai rises at day break every morning. He goes im- mediately to his office and begins a study of official documents and cor respondence. Officials are constant ly called in conference, and the presi- dent works constantly without any in- terruption until the lunch hour Af- ter his lunch, he takes a siesta of twn or three hours. From that time l1n- til the dinner hour at eight o'clock he rdevotes his attention to cabinet conferences and the reception of visit ors.
 Although the president is nearly six ty years old, he is very sturdy and enjoys an excellent appetite and un2 impaired digestion According to his for President Yuan Shi-lxai to eat a large plate of macaroni, four loaves of bread and four dishes of cold meat with rice at a single meal. He is credited with taking Chinese tonic prepared from the bone of the ti- ger and the horn of the deer He suffers occasionally with toothache.
 The Peking Gazette prints a photo- graph of Yuan Shi-kai with fhfteen of his sons and three grandsons. The grandsons are the children of Yuan o-ting. the presidents eldest son. This photograph has been widely repro duced in the vernacular papers. which lay great stress on the fact that the president has plenty of descendants to succeed to the throne in case he be made emperor.

CHINA DENOUNCES
 JAP METHODS OF
 CUSTOMS WATCHING

Peking, Jan. 5-Chfnese papers are loud in their denunc' ,tion of what they regard as japan's indifference to the importations of arms, ammunition and explosives into China The re- cent seizure at Shanghai of a large quantity of dynamite found in the baggage of a Japanese passenger, who arrived on the Japanese ship Sakaki from the Japanese port of Dalny, is attracting much attention The Chinese press is charging that the Japanese are indifferent to the activi- ties of Chinese assassins and trouble makers located in the foreign conces- sions. and would be glad to see in terna1 trouble in China which would afford an excuse for intervention.
 The Peking Daily News in discuss ing the Japanese who brought the dynamite into Shanghai, says:
 An amount of dynamite sufficient to blow the international settlement off the face of the earth can hardly be hawked from place to place with out officials of some kind knowing anything about it. Dynamite is not manufactured in. eDa1ny and the as- sumption is fair that it was brought there from Japan. But, whatever the place of origin, there should be some record in the customs office at DaIny A Japanese comnissi oner is in charge at Dalny, ar the first step to be talk ep is for the Japanese government to instruct him to submit a full report of any recent movement of explosives and of the persons concerned
 "An-. excellent opportunity is af- fordeda Japan of showing the sincerity of her friendship for~China. A full and explicit exposure of the informa- ton upon which she bases her belief that disturbances in China are irnnir- ent, and a public announcement of her resolve to use all the means at her disposal toz prevent aid of any kind being rendered to Chinese an- archists by her nationals, would go far towards removing the cloud of suspicion in which recent action and inaction has enveloped her.
 "It is remarkable that Japanese newspapers openly discuss tho plans of Chinese anarchists and even fixed a date for an uprising against the government or countfy united to Ja- pan by bonds of close friendship

TWO TESTS FOR

inferior grades of tobacco or hidded strands of rank, oily leaf, you will feel nipping sting at the tip of your tongue or that sandpaper" tickle in your throat.
 Test number two = How do you feel after smoking all day
 If the tobaccos in the cigarette include correct proportion of mild sfades@-and if all of the various grades have been pFep- eTly mellowed by age e- and if they have been so blended as to bring out the best qualities and to neutralize any unpleasant qualities in each of the different types or tobaceos, you will be able to smoke pTac-
 tically whenever you feel like it through the day without feeling any effect from 1t.
 But with another cigarette in which the blend is less skillful. even though the to- | bacces are of the highest grade you will | find along towards the end of the day | that you are likely to have that feeling l of having smoked too much" ,6@ A4A&. &Tdzaa~Nn~

The taste of the eiRa1ette-aeeording to leading tobacco 5ournal-is up to the smoker. But there are other qualities that you should look for in the cigarette that you are going to stick tosfor your steady smoke. Hefe are a couple of tests q that may help the average smoker to choose more wisely between different kinds of cigarettes.
 The first test is for eoolness, which means more comfort to the throat and tongue. Light any cigarette. Draw in a cloud of smoke-a small, ordinary puf { is not snffi ficient to make this test.

HOHNE HOPES FOR lNDICI MENT
AGAINST SILVERS
States Atty Hoyne was today
prepared to bring evidence before the
grand jury that he thinks should re-
suit in the returning of indictments
against both Max and AdOlph Silver,
who have been missing since the fail
ure of the Silver banks on the West
Side week ago.
Chas. Jackson, brother-in-law of
Max Silver, who was arrested at Wa
wasee, Ind, Saturday, is being held
incOmmunicadO in a local hotel by
HOyne, who believes Jackson knows
more than he has told.
Hoyne is sore because detectives
of the Chicago police force stepped
in and arrested Jackson in Wawasee
at a time when Hoyne's own detec-
tives were laying low and watching
in belief that Jackson would make
move that would put the detectives
on the trail of Silver.

LACK OF STRIKEBREAKERS is
PROBLEM TO RAILROADS

Railroad heads admit they will be
up against it in getting strikebreak-
ers to run their trains in the event of
a rail strike. It has been problem
enough lately to get strikebreakers to
do unskilled labor.
Daily conferences on the strike
breaking subject are being held by E.
G. Strickland, vice pres. of the North
westerns H. E. Byram, vice pres. of
the Burlington; T. J. Foley, gen. mgr.
of the l. c., and D. L. Bush, vice pres.
of the st. Paul. They have asked for
bids to furnish stTikebreakers from
all the leading agencies, but the
agencies are not offering them very
much. One railroad manager said
that skilled strikebreakers were so
scarce that he didn't believe more
than 5 per cent of the present num-
Der of trains could operate during
the strike.
