Widely Varied Kinds OF Con-

SYDNEY, Australia, July 30-(COr-
respondence Of The Associated Press)
The final disposition Of the German
colonies in the Pacific; the Pacific
Monroe Doctrine" broached by the
Prime Minister, William M. Hughes,
in his speech before the Pilgrims Club
in, New York; and the recent report Of
the Australian Interstate Commerce
Commission upon British and Austral-
ian Trade in the South Pacific" all re-
late directly or indirectly to discus
sion which Is becoming more or less
frequent in the Australian, New Zea-
land and Fijian press touching fed
GRAFTON of the South Sea Islands. The
Interstate Commerce Commission said
in it's report:
"The government Of the islands con-
trolled by the British crown is at pres
ent lacking in cohesion and unity Of
policy. x x The commission Is
satisfied that the islands under the
British crown should be grouped un-
der more coherent system. x x
The Commission has suggested that in
order to ensure timely settlement OF
this paramount question of govern
ment a Joint inquiry by representation
of the United Kingdom, Australia and
New Zealand should be undertaken"
One of the British Pacific Island Com
missioners said in Sydney while on
recent visit here:
"The suggestion that conjoint COM
mission of inquiry be appointed at an
early date should in my opinion be
carefully considered by the public Of
the Commonwealth. The question as
to whether administrative powers
should be granted to such commits
sion, which would represent the inter-
ests of the imperial Government Of the
Commonwealth, and of the Dominion
of New Zealand, IL one which also
claims the full consideration of states
men.
British interests at present are
widely spread under many forms of
control, and difficulties are constantly
created by the lack Of effective COOP
Grafton through officers who have no
direct relation with each other. There
are crown colonies, Fiji and the Gil
bert and Ellice Islands; the imperial
protectorate Of the Solomon Islands;
Australian dependencies such as Pa
qua; and the islands under the civil
administration Of New Zealand. To
add to this diversity of control we
now have the military occupation by
Australia and by New Zealand of the
late German Pacific possessions. 1t
Is a maze of control with centers of
reference in London, Melbourne and
Wellington.
objection may be made to the
grant OF administrative, powers at
present to any commission. The war
is still on and 1t may be urged that
little can be done--at least so far as
the late German Pacific possessions
are cOncerned-till the issue Of 1t is
known. But, pending peace, why not
appoint board or commission to OBJ
tain information and, as far as possi-
BILE, to simplify the existing admins
tration? The commission could thus
put the interests of Great Britain, of
Australia, and of New Zealand into
common pool for the moment, and
when the peace conference sits much
valuable information should be avail
able"

TOXIC, Aug. 26-Japanese marines
who recently landed at Swatow, China,
to protect Japanese interests, have

by the fact that the Southern troops

IDEAS CURIOUS AND POETIC
Remarkable Beliefs That Have Been
Firmly ingrained Into the Chill
dren Of Siam.

Mr.. Ernest Young, who went to Siam
to organize the educational system,
related at London recently some Gu
rious beliefs held by the children there.
He explained that he had experienced
considerable difficulty In teaching them
the rudiments of science, They be-
lieved that the earth was fat because
the priest had told them SO. It was
also the impression of these children
that big crab went down into the
sea and made the tide flow, and when
the crab came up for fresh air the
tide ebbed. When the gods became
angry rolling thunder was heard, and
when the angels got sporty and struck
fire out of bricks, summer lightning
flashes were seen. When many angels
got into the bath at the same time
water ran over the side and 1t rained.
Directly Mr.. Young entered school
the children Frustrated themselves be-
fore him, and the only way they could
be induced to abandon this practice
was to tell them that English children
did not do that. They would do any
thing English children were said to
do. They were awful liars, but when
told that the English boy was truthful
they gave up the habit.

SIMPLE THINGS WORTH WHILE
Many Make Mistake of Thinking Hap
piness Comes Only From Material
or Outward Conditions.

Why should you care to be pestered
with large bank account or distressed
by a house full of servants2 asks the
Albuquerque Evening Herald, which
adds: Adam and Eve had neither Of
these and they called their place OF
abode Paradise. Few people have
learned the secret of living well. Too
many think it depends almost wholly
on the condition of the pocketbook.
This is most certainly mistake. Hap
piness is not born Of material or out
ward conditions. 1t Is largely the re-
suit of purely mental process.
Amid the duller threads of duty 1t
is well to weave one bright strand
of desires-it is well to mix q little
sunshine with your daily food. You
can soften the sound of cab and car
in the stony street by calling to MEM
DRY a birds song heard in the fields
on summer afternoon In childhood.
1t is sweeter to your soul-if you have
one-than is the railroad that you own
yourself.
Take a day of and go out to some
cemetery where you may reflect ON
the brevity of life and the INSULT
cheney Of things pertaining to the pock-
etbook. 1t is better that you go be-
fore 1t comes your turn to ride out
there in the big plumed car that never
hauls its load back again. Don't wait
until you OWE your private automobile,
but go while you are able to walk and
to think. From the dead you may
learn much Of life. Scan all the vir-
tues inscribed upon all the headstones
by loving hands-and among them all
you will not find recorded the posses
sion of million dollars or a locked
tail horse or brownstone palace or q
12-cylinder car or handsome" ward
robe.
No! The headstones usually tell
you only Of those things worth while.

DRINK HOT WATER
BEFORE BREAKFAST
Says you really feel clean. sweet
and fresh inside. and
are seldom i'll.

re you are accustomed to wake up
with q coated tongue, foul breath or
q dull. dizzy headache; or, IL your
meals sour and turn into gas and
acids, you have a real surprise await
ing you.
Tomorrow morning, Immediately
upon arising, drink a glass OF hot
water with a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate in it. This is intended to
first neutralize any then wash out Of
your stomach, hser, kidneys and
thirty feet of intestines all the indi-
gestible waste, poisons, sour bile and
toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
Those subject to sick headaches,
backache, bilious attacks, constipation
or any form of stomach trouble, are
urged to get quarter pound OF lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
and begin enjoying this morning In
eide-bath. It is said that men and
women who try this become enthu-
siastic and keep 1t up daily. 1t Is a
splendid health measure for 1t fs more
important to keep clean and pure on
the inside than on the outside, because
the skin pores do not absorb impuri-
ties into the blood, causing disease,
while the bowel pores do.
The principle OF bathing inside is
not new, as millions Of people practice
It Just as hot water and soap cleanse,
purify and freshen the skin, so hot
water and a teaspoonful of limestone
phosphate act on the stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels. Limestone phos-
phate is an inexpensive white powder
and almost tasteless.

At what period the Chinese began to
