This is very interesting and unusual picture It is
photograph of Japanese gentleman who was ARRESTED
for PRoFITEERNG.
He was engaged in the very estimable occupation OF
making money out of the hunger of his fellow beings
The paper toward which he is pointing with his shaky
orenger notice from the Department OF Agriculture and
Commerce that he must stop trading in any OF the rice
exchanges of Japan because of his activities in attempting
to corner the rice market
On the advice of the solemn looking gentleman sitting
on his left who undoubtedly Japanese corporation law

Immediately afterward
The gentleman with the brass buttons the shoulder
straps and the sword he engraver has cut of all but his
buttons is probably the who took him of to jail and
landed him where there cushions to sit upon
pretty paper windows to let in the sunshine
Rice to the japanese what wheat is They eat
it for breakfast and dinner and supper.
Before the gentleman in the picture and his fellow
specuators began to cash in the hunger of their fellow
men, sho, about pint of rice sold for little more
than cents When they got through their price
ing sold for about II And then things began to
happen.
Riots broke out and the hungry people demanded
vengeance the unscrpulous traders who starving
them to death When the situation got to this point the
government took such action pictured above and the
rice gamblers decided to be decent
The American people do sit on the floor and they

However, we are making progress very fast and by

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems Pitfalls of the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

Il ALF the letters that come
n to me relate to quarrels
= = between people who are
in love, or who imagine them
selves to be in love, or who were
once in love.
They quarrel over everything
or nothing, as the case may be.
Sometimes there are several peo-
pie involved in the genuine or
imaginary trouble, and sometimes
the disagreement is a duet be-
tween "a lover and his lass"
And half the time / can't see
why they are all so wrerchedly
unhappy over some triviality that
might be adjusted with the small
est application of common sense.
The most fruitful source Of
trouble in all love affairs teems to
be the confdant. Enter the con-
fidant with trouble" the passage
might read if it were stage direc-
tions instead Of an extract from
real life.
A line from a recent letter from
a pirI in a Government office
reads: my girl friend advised
me not to have anything to do
with the man l was engaged to;
now she is going with him her
self" / quote from another let
ter: "My girl chum Of many
wears standing repeated some re-
marks that / intended only in
fun" And still another: Il ask
ed her advice and she went
straight and told him everything.
Now, all this trouble, and much
of the same sort, might have been
saved by a little discretion and
discipline. Love is like murder;
IT will out. Talking incessantiy OF
the adored one is a characteristic
symptom of the tender passion
and one that is provocative OF
endless misery.
n Won must talk to some one
about Him talk to your mother or
some older person Of whose al
fectionate interest you are as
sured. II you would rather die
than talk to your mother" as one
Door child wrote to me, write
everything you intend to say and
burn your letter.
This will have the effect OF get
ting the subject on your mind.
temporarily, and you run no risks
with a possibly foolish confidant.
Bear in mind that nothing could
be more dangerous than this habit
of loosely chattering with the girls
who work with you, or the girls
who live In the adjoining fiat, or
the girls who go with you 20 the
movies. Under the stimulus Of
letting yourself go, you probably
say far more than you intend to
and you are apt to give a wrong
impression OF the incident and,
furthermore, you leave yourself en-
tirely at another's mercy.
"A shut mouth does no trouble"
is an Oriental proverb that might

appear to have more natural dis
cretion and the lure of discussing
genuine love affairs with the
young men at the adjoining desk,
does not present such strong
temptation.
The foe of the young lovers
peace of mind, judging from their
correspondence with me, appears
to be his riotous imagination. The
following is a characteristic ex-
tract: Last night l called on
Sally and she seemed far away,
wrapped in her own thoughts.
Now, if she does not care for me
any more I'd like to have her say
So"
1t appears from a later letter,
the young man was good enough
TO write me, nothing had been the
matter with Sally. He was so
thoroughly in love, so filed with a
sense of his own unworthiness
that he read doubt into everything
the girl had said and done.
Jealousy is another stumbling
block to the young man in love.
Often he cannot see his inamorata
speak to another man without suf-
fering all the pangs of the inferno.
His intelligence may point out
that it is impossible for any girl
not TO have acquaintances, that
very probably the young man she
has just been speaking to is an
old school mate and Is utterly alb
sorbed in a love affair of his own,
but the mere sight of this young
man raising his hat in passing
drives the first swain to jealous
frenzies.
He gets sulky, the girl can't
understand why he is in this state,
she resents his manner, he resents
hers-and there is a very pretty
quarrel about nothing at all.
Another element of contention
is the. families Of both. Young
people very often get acquainted
with one another's families, bal
ancing a chip on their respective
shoulders, meantime. They go
looking for trouble and invariably
find it. They fail to realize ihat
the prospective "in-laws" are as
nervous and, likely, upset over the
meeting as they are.
They have failed to grasp that
faith and confidence bring faith
and confidence in return. That in
the long run, one gets out Of life
about the same proportion of good
or evil as one contributes.
In love affairs the greatest tails
man is common sense. You would
not confide your salary, rent, in
come, and outlay to haphazard
acquaintances, and yet many do
not hesitate to confide things in
finitely more private, things that
come back to one with the force
OF boomerang.
BY taking a little thought-in
advance, most OF the troubles in
Cidert to love affairs could be
ayerted-

At the northwest corner of La

1t also tells that he was born in
Prussia and died in New York: that
he was aide to Frederick the Great
and did so much to make an army
out of the colonial patriots in our
American revolution.
But that first line, FREDERICK
WILLIAM AVG, bothered a friend Of

the mans name, because he rode on
