USE CHOPSTICKS IN JAPAN
Old Custom Prevails Among Poorer
Glasses, While the Rich Have Eu-
ropean Knives and Forks.

The use of chopsticks Is general in
Japan, except among the richer classes,
who have adopted European knives and
forks, and, to some extent, the Euro.
pean cuisine, London Tit-Bits says.
Small bowls Of china or lacquered
wood are the usual table equipment.
After the various solid portions of the
food have been lifted to the mouth
with chopsticks the liquor remaining
is slipped from the bowl. In the case
of rice, which would be tedious to pick
up grain by grain, the bowl Is often
raised to the mouth and the rice SHOW.
eled or pushed in with the chopsticks.
1t is also customary to pour a little
tea into the rice bowl after 1t has been
nearly emptied, and in this way the
few remaining grains of rice are
washed down as the tea is drunk.
At public places the chopsticks at
each meal must be new; this is indi-
Gated by the fact that the chopsticks
are made from one piece Of wood and
are left Joined together, as were
matches at one time. These new chop
sticks are incased in a thin paper en-
yelope, sealed at the end, and bearing
Japanese characters advertising either
the hotel or some firm that has fur
nished them free to the proprietor for
the sake of the publicity thus gained.

WEAPONS OF THE TEACHERS
Evil Methods Inspiring Fear in Hearts
of Children Not Conducive
to Best Results.

Power to produce fear is poor
weapon. The teacher who uses it is
not doing his best work.
Snakes are feared by reason of their
sting. So are lions and tigers for rea-
son of their power to produce harm.
Fear is the weapon of an enemy
We do not fear our friends, nor can
we fear anything that we love.
Evil is just absence of good; for it
cannot exist where good is. And
evil chooses fear for it's weapon.
Neither evil nor fear should exist in
the schoolroom, says an exchange.
Good is always stronger than evil ;
love always stronger than fear. Why
should teachers employ evil methods
and inspire fear in the hearts of chill
dren when springs of love are bub'
bling up on every side?
There are smiles, and kind words
and kind thoughts, and deeds of kind
ness and-but the list Is too great tc
complete These inspire love, and a.:
weapons are much more efficient than
is fear.
And then there is faith! When
good loses it's trust in it's ability tc
overcome, fear disarms and evil con-
quers.
An animal will not attack a mar
who has absolutely no fear of it
That is the secret of the liontamer's
power. Evil cannot defeat man who
is strong in good, and therefore he has
no cause to fear evil.

Splinterless Gocq!es.

Splinterless goggles are a new de-
velcpment that is expected to be of
great value in military gas masks and
for 'aviators, as well as for machinists,
welders and other workers requiring
protection for the eyes. The lenses con-
sist of two layers of optical glass sep
arated by a layer of celluloid, the
whole being perfectly welded together.
The product is claimed to have the adj
vantages of ordinary glass without its
dangerous splintering on being broken,
and the strength of cellu!oid without
its inflammability and lack Of rigidity.
The heat insulating effect of the cellu-
loid is said also to prevent clouding by
moisture. -

New York.-It is not possible to di.
vide the new gowns into strongly diff.
fering sections. No designer has taken
a period and copied her gowns from 1t
with certainty and exactitude. All OF
the French and American workers have
jumbled their history in way that
would give the seeker after truth a
brainstorm.
It is well for the public at large
that the designers do not stick too
closely to period clothes. When the
decorators insist that one cannot
have a curtain, a vase or cushion
in a room that is drawn from GER
tain period, we get beautiful pieces
of interior decorative work which
should be in a museum, but which have
little relationship to an intimate home
life.
It is wise for every woman to learn,
and it would be well if one could only
,tench the artists and decorators the
same thing, that exhibition work is
one thing, but the kind of work that
one must live with is another. We
can go to museums or department
shops and see period rooms and period
dress, but human nature resents the
thought Of having such limited waking
and sleeping hours. Therefore, we
greet with pleasure the fact thatvastly
different periods of history have. been
dipped into for the new clothes; but
anachronism is rife.
CalIot and the EMPIRE
The Callot gowns were the last to
get to this country, and they pre-
sented no new note, except the intro
duction Of the First Empire sill
houette. Even when Callot took the
most symbolic feature of this period,
which Is the high waistline that
slightly girdles the figure just under
the bust, she added medieval sleeves
to 1t that the Empress Josephine
never wore.
The most dominant First Empire
frock that Callot has sent over is Of
brilliant red that is neither geranium,
japanese nor wine. She calls 1t Gin
cendie." 1t has the richness of
ruby in the light and resembles that
jewel to the inexperienced eye more
than the flames from a conflagration.
This gown is not marred by trim
ming. AS the French say, it goes
without a garnish. The neck is not
low in the way that Callot is apt to
arrange it, and the sleeves not only
cover the arms and wrists, but the
back of them hangs to the knees
when the arms are dropped.
When Callot features a new thing,
it Is bound to be significant, and,

hard in the afternoon-a cold, steady

Worlds Best Loved Trademark.
This war has made us think hard

in the big job of policing the world for
democracy and human liberty. Is 1t

glad to know that this friend will place
books and magazines at his disposal,
organize classes to teach him what
ever he wants to learn, give him a
pocket testament and invite him to
join religious meetings Of the fait

realize that the association provides
athletic equipment for his favorite
games, teaches him games if he knows
none and holds concerts, lectures
movies, Bible Classes, dramatic enter

friend will go with him overseas, help

and dangerous temptations and follow
him right up to the front line trench

Discoveries In Palestine.

The discoveries which the British

of Sir Henry Layard's description Of
