STATISTICAL DATA.

The statistical data presented by the
commission, phases of which those
who testified were asked to explain,
concluded with a series of questions
as to possible remedies. They were:
What measure can be adopted to
prevent prices from rising TO prohib-
tive levels?
Is cooperation between large pub
fishers and manufacturers feasible?
Would an embargo on exports be
advisable?
Would publishers profit in the long
run by refraining from entering into
contracts covering long period OF
time at a fixed price?
Can small publishers profit by
adopting the plan of cooperative
buying?
AZ the outset OF the hearing it de.
velopei that the commission had sur.

two cuttings. This exceptionally high
yield was made possible by unusually
fertile soil and good culture. The
plots were drilled about the middle of
May, using - TO % pounds of seed to
the acre, seeded with an ordinary
grain drill.
The first crop was cut when the SUI
dan grass was fully headed, and the
second crop in time to avoid the first
frost.
Where Sudan grass has been grown
for two or three years II is the opin-
ion Of the growers that il will largely
take the place Of millet and sorghum
for fodder purposes. and also be valu-
able as a green fodder to cut for sup
pasture.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The FEEDER
al Trade Commission reopened hear
ings here in its investigation in the
rise in news print paper prices, pre-
senting facts gathered by its investi-
gators in the plants of American and
Canadian manufacturers. Producers,
iobbers and paper users were heard.
Tables prepared by the commission
were brought out At the hearing to
show the following conditions;
Both Canadian and United States
averages show no increase in cost OF
paper manufacture in the first half OF
1916 as compared with 1910
Selling expenses in the first hall OF
1916 were lower than in 1915, and
profits per ton were higher The per
cent. of profit on investment, figured
on book investment increased from
5.92, per cent in 1915 for nineteen
companies, to9.34 percent. for fifteen
companies in the first half Of 1916.
Rates of profit on the cost OF invest
ment would have been even higher
could the figures have been obtained.
Market prices increased in 1916 a
much greater extent than contract
prices.

THE NAMELESS WOMAN

Though the woman of Korea has not even name OF
her own and in her youth is simply called the daughter
of So and So and after marriage he wife of So and So
and if she has sons the mother of So and So still she
has one rare womans right which the women of the rest
of the world might be glad to get even in exchange for
a multiplicity of names
For the woman of Korea has safe grip on her man
He may not be very much but such as he is she has him
for her very own.
In the towns of Korea no men are allowed on the
streets after o'clock at night When that hour strikes
every male must be within doors.
What wife and mother, sitting alone at night amid
all the blessings of occidental civilization and more rights
than she can enumerate while her husband gone out to
his club and her gone out she knows not where can
help envying the nameless woman of Korea?
In our own country particularly women have more
name than they need is always comfortable to carry
Especially this the case after series of divorces. And
the divorces are very largely result of the mems un-
checked liberty to run around at night.

COncIaye of Vast
Import Is Slated For
Toxic Within Few Days

San Francisco, Jan. ia conclave,
perhaps of vast import in its effect on
the outcome of the European war is
slated for Toxic within a few days.
This was revealed today, when Fran
cisco Ortes, Argentine Minister to
Japan, arrived here on a japanese
liner.
Participating in the conference will
be the Mikado, the Russian special en-
voy Duke NIih Mikhlovitch, and a
British envoy. Presumably their ses.
sion will be to seek a broader par
ticipation by japanese in the European
struggle.
The duke is already in Toxic,
ostensibly to carry the congratulations
of Car Nicholas to the mikado. But
Ortes intimated that it is merely per.
functory, and that, instead, his pres
ence in Japan is fraught with signifi-
cance
Inasmuch as there has been some
talk of a German-Japanese alliance of
the present war, and as it is known
Japan has been exceedingly courteous

allies are angling to prevent such q
combination
Still another suggestion is that the
subject of recent torpedoing Of Jap

may be considered and that means may
be taken to combat such incidents i'll
the future.
In connection with the suggestion
that the entente may desire to thwart a
possible German.Japanese alliance, it is
recalled that Lord Northeliffe of Eng

situation in mind, so this regarded as
possible that this in fact is tho crux
