JAPAN MUST

endeavor to conserve her national
strength and this is no time for us
to act precipitantIy," declared the
Viscount.
He was aware, the opposition leader
said, that Japanese intervention in
Russia was advocated in some quar-
tiers on the ground that there was
danger of German influence spreading
in the East to such an extent that

son given for intervention was that
the communism preached by the Le-
nine government in Russia was ex-
pected to produce a bad effect on
Japan. The question of intervention,
said Viscount Kato, should be solved
chiefly with an eye to Japan's own
interests and not in Difference to the
views of other nations.

The Norefos was overtaken by the

crew.
Then the submarine departed on 4
pirating expedition, the Germans on
the Norefos adjusting the wireless
apparatus so as to be able to keep in
communication with the undersea
boat. On this trip the submarine
was gone eight days and upon her

SAXONY REFUSES
NEW FOOD RATION

New York, June 2S.-The govern
ment of Saxony has refused to COM
ply with the German Imperial Law
providing for new uniform ration
of food for the whole German EN-
pire because there has been failure Of
crops in SaXony, says a Dresden des-
patch to the Berlin Tageblatt, copy
of which has been received here The
despatch stated that the Saxon au-
thorities had declined to reduce the
daily bread ration of the Saxon peo-
pie.
Announcement by the German Food
Controller that Germany had sent
100000 pounds of potatoes to Bo-
hernia evoked a protest from a social
lists member of the Prussian Diet who
said he did not understand how food
could be sent to Bohemia when the
Germans were suffering from a short
age of it.

What the Different Colors Mean.

Beautiful to look upon, the star
colors also have their scientific i'm
portance. When you take piece of
iron or any other similar substance,
and heat it, the iron first becomes
red-hot, then orange, yellow, white
and even BLUSH white, in turn, as the
temperature is increased. 1t was sug-
gested, therefore, that the colors of
the stars form a true scale. of stellar
atmosphere. Furthermore on the
supposition that the stars are contin-
uously cooling down, the color is an
indication also of the state of evolu-
ton which the star has reached. The
older the star the cooler it should be
and therefore the nearer the red end
of the series. More modern spec
troscopic observations have produced
certain notifications and introduced
some uncertainty into this simple and
attractive idea. 1t is by no means
certain that the development of stars
is always in the direction of decreas-
ing temperature. There is consider
able likelihood that at least some
times the star increases in tempera-
ture as it shrinks in volume. So
that cool star may be really less
advanced In its stage of development
than hotter star. There is more
recent theory that when nebula first
turns into a star the temperature is
rather low and increases as the. mass
contracts. This continues up to a
certain point, after which the final
cooling begins, which slowly turns the
star into cold body. .
@ The Planets in July
Jupiter and Venus are morning
stars this month and therefore can
not be shown on our evening map;
we still have Saturn and Mars with
US, though both are getting pretty
well over to the western horizon, at
| the map time. Saturn in fact is al
ready practically on the horizon, and
those who wish to get last look at
the wonderful rings which surround
the planet should start their observa-
tons as soon after sunset as possible.
Next month Saturn will no longer
! grace our map, and Mars will also
be on the verge Of disappearance.

caused numerous small explosions in
the fire boxes and created such a
stream of sparks through the funnel
that the ship nearly caught fire. So
no more peanuts were used and for
several days the Norefos wallowed

unfurled the Norwegian flag.

ESTABLISH DRYING PLANT.

In order to prevent the waste of
vegetables and fruit which are grown
in the war gardens of the city, it has
been decided to establish rehydrat-
ing plant under the direction of the
War Bureau. The amount necessary
is to be subscribed by private parties,
and it is stated that nearly all has
been subscribed. The McElroy build
ing will probably be the location, and
the machinery will probably be in
stalled there at an early date.

Evening Gowns.

WE used to hear people talk about
evening shades" and We knew
then that the term implied pastel
pinks and lavenders-hower petal
shades in general. Then some one
discovered, or revived. rather. the fact
that brilliant colors Of more solid tone
come up under artificial light Just as
we'll as the lighter shades and that
they are infinitely more suitable for
certain types Of women. The mature

There is no widespread use Of me-

Another thing which is heartening
the dressmakers and shops is that the

one Of the subtle changes in clothes
that have caused women to stop, think
and renovate.
The entrance Of the hobble skirt plus
the Japanese toddle is almost enough
to take woman's mind away from
