"As for women, the native born are
not educated for farm work. They
might be forced to learn in the course
OF number of years. but they are not
as constitutionally rugged as their for

to labor in the fields.
IF supply of labor is not furnished
to the farms the world faces a serious
condition for the year 191S-19, one
more serious than my words convey.
Where, then, is this farm labor to
come from?
"Many people have advocated the
introduction of Chinese. If the war Is
to continue and shortage of workers
is going to last, why wouldn't it be a
good plan to import 100000 or 100000
Chinese after the manner set by France
and let them stay in this country for
three or five years?
''The Chinaman. as Californians tell
US, is a reliable, industrious and very
capable farmland. probably because
his country has been pre-eminently an
agricultural nation for centuries. II

ENTERTAINING A GUEST

Shortly before the war a German
naval squadron was visiting a Japan
csc port. The admiral and members
of his staff were officially invited to
go over the arsenal. Among other
things they were allowed to see some
Of the famous shimose. the Japanese
high explosive. The admiral, like a
good German. made an opportunity to
steal handful of the powder. He
put it in his trousers pocket and found
on returning to his ship that his best
gala trousers were ruined, as grains
of the powder had stained the gar
ments an ugly yellow.
The precious pinch of powder was
sent by special courier from the Ger
man embassy to Berlin. where it was
analysed and found to be a most inno-
cent composition colored with ground
mustard! The willy japanese, know
ing their guests, had judged it pru.
dent to substitute this harmless com.
pound for the real shimose.-From

EMILY STEVENS AT
HEAD OF FOX BILL

Emily Stevens, the talented emo
tonal actress now appearing solely in
Metro Wonder-plays, is the featured
star at FoXs theater for today and
tomorrow. AS Edith Frome, in the
perturbation of the gripping Broad
way success, 'Daybreall,' she has one
Of the greatest roles of her highly
successful career AS the wife of
man who is a slave of strong drink,
Miss Stevens is called upon to reach
the greatest heights of emotional act
ing and strong characterization. Ar
thur Forme, the husband, has an in
innate friend, Doctor David Brett,
who is q frequent visitor at the
Frome home and almost unconscious
ly Edith looks to him for sympathy.
AS last resort, Edith puts her hus-
band on a, years probation and
leaves him. At the end of the period
he is still addicted to heavy drink
ing, but during her absence from her
husband Edith, too, has experienced
temptatios, and privation, and has
learned enc or two truths which
bring out all her love in an amazing
manner. What the effect of her ex-
periences is is told in scenes of the
utmost dramatic realism. There is a
lot of good comedy on the same
program, too. Charlie Chaplin will
be seen in a, splendid two-reel laugh
hit, THE Fireman. and one of the
new Triangle comedies will also be
shown, together with the latest issue
Of the Ford Weekly. Special an
nouncement is made to the effect that
there has been engaged for Friday
and Saturday one of the best all
around programs that has ever been
shown at FoXs. Heading the bill will
be the ever-welcome George Walsh
in the best farce comedy he has made
up to date. It is called Jack Spur
lOck-Prodigal," and is taken from
the popular Saturday Evening Post
story Of the same name. 1t is said to
surpass anything of the kind in pic
lures, and has some wonderfully
unique and startling comedy situa-
tons. Hungry Lions in HospitaI'
is the title of a new Sunshine Com
edy. to be seen on the same days, and
the big serial vengeance and the

gether with Mutt and Jeff and the
