OPEN DOOR IN CHINA

NEW YORK, Sept. 27-That the
open door in China is for the best in
terest OF Japan, just as a peaceful
Mexico with thriving trade is to the
interest OF the United States, was the
declaration Of DR.. Ye Eyenaga here
today at the luncheon OF the Japan
society to Baron Sakatani, former
Japanese minister of finance and rep.
resentative Of Japan at the recent
economic conference of the allies. DR..
Iyenaga, lecturer and publicist, said
the case of Mexico in respect to the
United States, while not exactly par
allel to that of China and Japan, was
somewhat similar.
Baron Sakatani, who spoke briefly.
expressed the hope that America and
Japan will remain, as they have been
for the last 60 years, fast friends, and
cooperate in development of COM
merce and resources in the regions
bordering on the Pacific"
Following him. DR.. lyenaga de.
clared that he could speak more
freely. He said he was not hampered
In public utterance by being on a
government mission, as was Baron
| Sakatani.
Japan has pledged herself to keep
China's door open," DR.. Iyenaga said.
"Will she ever violate that pledge?
l believe not. Not only do interna-
tional ethics demand good faith, but
the open door is. in fact, consonant
with what Japan's self-interest die.
tates. She has nothing to fear from
an open competition, every advantage
except capital being on Japan's side.
The closing of China's door would
spell disaster to Japanese commerce
and industry"
DR.. Iyenaga's remarks were heartily
| apnlauded

THE EVENT HAPPENS.

BERLIN, Sept 27-(Via London, 10
D. m.)-The Berlin newspapers today
are acclaiming enthusiastically the ar
rival OF the German submarine Brem-
en- at New London. The Connecticut
town has jumped to point Of prime
interest, and the newspapers have
found it necessary to describe it's sit.
uation by the aid of maps. They also
are dilating on the history OF the town
The news of the Bremen relieves
the protracted tension which has
grown intense as the expected arrival
of the submarine was delayed from
week to week. Apparently authentic
rumors had been in circulation that
the Bremen sailed early in August.
Hence fears were entertained in some
quarters that something had gone
wrong with her and the way for the
establishment Of regular submarine
service between Germany and the
United States.
All the newspapers today print a
sketch of Captain Schwartzkopf, the
captain of the Bremen, who was for
a long time in the service of the North
German Lloyd Steamship company.
I There have been many reports OF
the expected arrival OF the merchant

The Habit of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is
easily broken. Take a cold sponge
bath every morning when you first
get out of bed-not ice cold, but a
temperature of about 80 degrees F.
Also sleep with your window up. Do
this and you will seldom take cold.
When you do take cold take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and get rid of it
as quickly as possible. Obtainable
everywhere.

Frequently you pick up a paper and
after glancing at it YEARLY throw it
aside, remarking Nothing in the pa
per this week. Did you ever stop
70 think what that phrase means?
1t means that in the week just passed
no misfortune has befallen any one
in our community; that no fire has
wiped out neighbours worldly goods;
that the grim angel of death has
crossed no threshold of friend; that
no man driven by liquor, hatred or
fear has taken the life of fellow
human; that no poor devil haunted by
the past or misdeeds of some other,
has crossed the great divide by his
own hand. So the next time YOU
pick up paper that doesn't announce
tragedy, give little thanks instead
of grumbling because there is no
news.-Ex.

No two lawyers, however great,

But scores and thousands of men

So it happens that judge with a

up his own opinions, and when his
views are out of sympathy with his
times, his court becomes the refuge

German scientists claim to have
found a yeast that turns sugar into
fat; and another kind of yeast that
produces protein, or meat, from sug-
ar; and that they get from the air
the nitric acid they need in making
explosives; and have found a sub
stitute for cotton. "Raw stuffs which
we can no longer import we have
learned to produce sufficiently and in
plenty, from the things we have"
says German newspaper. English
chemists have been busy, too, since
the war began, and have found sub
stitute for milk, of which the Lon
don Lancet says: at is chemically
indistinguishable from cows milk
and physically shows close relation to
1t, having round, sweet, fatty flavor
not unlike that Of rich milk. And
yet there is not drop of milk or ami
NAL matter in it, every part of it be-
ing of vegetable origin" After all,
the world may find itself indebted to
the war for blessings that come out
of wars great necessities.

In order to communicate with the
people on Mars, the scientists tell us,
all we have to do is TO construct a
series Of 10 mirrors, each 40 miles in
diameter, and flash signals to the
planet with rays Of light. Then we
may wait couple of million years
while the people of Mars, providing
they are people and not pollywogs,
figure out what we are driving at and
then devise way TO answer us. The
answer, when it does come, probably
will be for US to mind our own bust
