Index Finger a. Nut Cracker

Nut crackers, which are based on lev
erage, make us suppose that it takes
great strength to open a nut; and, in
fact, every one knows from experince
that without such little machine it is
hardly possible to overcome the hard
ness Of a nut. And yet one can open
hundreds of nuts in very short time
without any implement and without any
effort whatever merely with the aid Of
the index finger.
Place the nut upon stone or a block
of wood, but so that the joint stands
perpendicular. In this position hold it
fast with the index finger Of your left
hand, strike with the right fist hard
upon the index, and the nut will at once
break asunder Light blows will not ac-
complish the feat. One must strike
hard. 1t may happen that the nut will
fly away, but this only proves that the
joint was not held in perfectly per-
pcndicular position, which is indispen-
sable to success. The point of the nut
should also be turned toward the chest.

Warns Against
German Tricks
''Watch Lest Enemy Sow
Seeds Of Discord," He
Says
At Dinner in Toxic
Correspondence of Tho Associated Press)

Correspondence Of Tho Associated Press)
TOXIC, March 21.-Friendly coop
Grafton between Japan and the United
States was the spirit of the speeches
delivered last night at dinner given
by the American Japan Society in
honor of Viscount Ishii, the new am
bassador to Washington; the former
ambassador, Aimaro Sato, and Baron
Megata, the chief of the Japanese finan-
cial mission which recently visited
America.
Besides the guests, the speakers in
cluded Roland S. Morris, the American
Ambassador; Viscount Kaneko, the
president of the society; DR.. II. Blake,
of Yokohama, member Of the executive
committee, and DR.. j. Takamine, of New
York
Viscount Ishii expressed his convic-
tion that among the many changes
which are fated to be brought about by
this great war the most fundamental
one should be in the field of diplomacy.
To his mind the German way of inter
national dealing and pan -Germanism
should be eradicated. The ambassador
was convinced that justice and fairness,
as we'll as frankness and sincerity.
should be the sole guidance in all
dealings between civilized nations.
An especial cause of satisfaction and
qualification was found in the excellent
relations actually existing between
Japan and the United States. To-day
there were no disturbing clouds on the
horizon of the Pacific, and, in fact, the
relations between Japan and America
had never been so cordial and friendly
as at this moment. He warned his
hearers. however, that vigilant watch
must ever be maintained, lest the ever
renew his attempts to sow the seeds
Of discord, as he had done with no
small success in the past.
Baron Megata voiced his thanks for
the sympathy, consideration and help
with which his mission was received
III the United States. He believed the
visit would tend to clearer and better
understanding between the two ma
tions. He said his visit had brought
the Japanese into closer touch with
American leaders in industry and
finance. and had suggested more op-
portunities and possibilities for CO.
nations, especially in the Far East. He
urged more exchange visits between
the countries in the future.
Ambassador Morris praised the ac-
complishments of Viscount Ishij ana
said that the United States was to be
congratulated on his selection as am
bassador to Washington.
Viscount Kaneko declared that at
this critical moment Of the war thew
should send a message to the soldiers
and sailors of the Allies urging them
to fight to the end and declaring that
all the men and resources Of the
United States and Japan are ready for
their support.

House Committee on Agriculture that
there is sufficient feed in the south
east region to take care of from 40O,-
oo0 to 100000 cattle in addition to the
number formally provided for. and it
is proposed greatly to extend the work

is being undertaken. Employment of

work Of the Northern and Western
states will be undertaken. An increase
Of $139,000 in the appropriation for
