SOLVING NEW PROBLEMS
Rustom Rustomjee Points Out
Opportunities for Ameri-
cans in India.

That the Chamber OF Commerce OF the
State Of New York intends to stimulate
foreign trade and shipping after the war
was Indicated yesterday. when Eugenius
IT, outerbridge, chairman of the foreign
trade and shipping committee. announced
10 the members at the first autumn meet
ins that plans for constructive work
were being perfected and the organiza-
ton OF subcommittee to solve various
phases of the problem had been COM
pleted. The members of the chamber
we're told that 1t Is none too early to
make thorough plans to meet after the
war conditions and that the wars end Is
much nearer than people generally ap-
preciate.
The part India has played and is play
ing In the world war was described by
Rustom Rustom1ee, formerly editor of
the oriental Repiet1 OF Bombay. He said
that among the first British troops to
land in France after the wars outbreak
were $1,000 Indian troops and that his
country has supplied more than 1900, 900
troops to tho various theatres Of war.
midas forces are playing a big part in
the Palestine and Mesopotamia cam
paigns, according to the editor. and India
Is sending millions OF dollars worth of
munitions to the nearby fronts, this
source supplying practically all the mu-
nitons needed in Mesopotamia-
Mr.. Rustomjee asserted that the Turks
deliberately and systematically destroyed
the magnificent irrigation works that had
been constructed In Mesopotamia and
pleaded that the surplus population Of
India be permitted to develop the fruit
fll fields of that region. The question
vitality affecting the future peace OF the
world. he said. is: "Who shall control
tie Ragdad railways and who shall be
supreme in Mesopotamia?
s. The attitude .o,, Of India Mr. RuSt0m'ee
We in India feel that just as Calais
Is pistol aimed at the heart of England
Ragdad is a long range gun aimed at
the heart of India. We do not want the
progress of our country TO be further
ieopardized by the German control of
the Bagdad railways or the Turkish
sovereignty over Mesopotamia. The 322,-
100000 of India are being gradually civ
Zed and educated along western lines
and their interests ought to be safe
guarded. because occupying the central
and strategic position as does India She
when united strong and civilized. will
be powerful factor in the civilization Of
the world. 20.
Japan has sent commission to
study the possibilities OF our country
after the war and the prospects OF de-
veloping trade between india and Japan
am sure there is a big opportunity for
America. with her splendid merchant
marine. to develop commercial relations
with India after the war"
Eleven new members were elected at
meeting and the report of
tho committee on State and. municipal
taxation on the War Revenue bill was
adopted.

Mocha nically his steps turned q cor

blocks to q street that was lined on
both sides BY cheap homes Of mechan-
los and other wage laborers. Into this
his feet turned, which was natural, for
all these houses belonged to him. Then
he remenb ered this was rent day. and
he had intended to begin collecting aft
er his visit to the doctor. He would
do II now.
Again the dizziness oppressed him
and brought thought OF the cookies
He stood staring straight ahead for a
long time. Several men and women
passed him while there, and scowled
Perhaps they remembered 1t was rent
day. too.
At length he went on a few doors
and turned into printing shop where
he often went to fix up papers. A
dozen placards were ordered. and he
waited for them to be printed. Then
he went along the street. lacking them
here and there in prominent places.
Most of the residents seemed to
avoid him. But presently a woman
slipping by glanced over his shoulder
With sharp cry to others within
hearing she sprang to his side and
caught his arm. do We mean that,
Mr.. BargeT she choked huskily. DO
We mean 1t for honest and true?"
why, of course" Barge answered.

How much are you willing for It to

Tut tut! don't mean my fee. That
amounts to nothing. But I sometimes
send a patient to Europe. or off to sea.
or into the woods. It's liable to be
expensive. A thousand. or perhaps
Eve thousand"
Yes, yes. II It'll help me-"
The doctor took of his glasses and
wiped them thoughtfully, studying
the man before him. Ever hear Of
the cookies OF the hearth"
why, yes as a figure of speech"
Not so much figure Of speech as
you think, perhaps. We doctors are
all the time finding out greater truths
than medicine in curing diseases.
Laugh and grow fat is scientific wis
dom. One man driving his machine or
buggy sees a wayfarer on the road and
stops to take him in; another never
sees him. Everything else equal, the
first man is liable to live longer. 1t
has a direct reference to the heart
cookies. Barge. You've harmed yours
by ignoring them. They're shrunken
and withered and ready to fall. And
if they do fall your case Is hopeless.
What you want to do is to soften the
cookies, to make them fresh and ten

What will you do?" Tom asked,
signing.
iii pay them back. 1 guess 1 can
be just as hateful and uppish as they
are. I'll show them l don't care for

sighed again.
She pretended to be looking so hard
at a show window that she did not
see Mrs. Sweet when they passed on
the street. she knows l couldn't fail
to hear her coming a mile off" she
said to herself. with all the noise her
taffeta founces make"
She neglected TO return Miss Jes-

have nothing to do with any OF them.
But solitude did not agree with Les
lie. She became morose. touchy. She
had, in truth. delivered a boomerang
which was most deadly in it's recoil.
She was having a solitary sundae at
Melton's one afternoon when group
OF her neighbors entered and took the
two tables nearest her. Leslie pre-
tended not to see them, but they were
