CHEAT IMP OF WAKEFULNESS.
Some Methods by Which It, Is Said fhe Drowsy God May Be Sue
 cessfully Wooed.

Sufferers from sleeplessness> should try this trick. Have a pair of binders made from double thickness of black silk. These should just cover the eyes, with a cut for the nose, being held in place by broad elastic band. Hang these on the bed post, and if the morn ing light comes in too early put them on. Another remedy is suggested by the sleeping methods of pigs. Tie two paper clips to either end off cord seven CT eight feet long. Clip the top of the counterpane with one and a soft weight with the other If not sleeping after 15 minutes, pull the counterpane over your head. This in- duces that long, even breathing, nat ural to the approach of sleep, as may be noticed in pigs. As ono, dozes off, the band holding the counterpane re- laXes, and the weight pulls it down, so that one is again breathing fresh air. People suffering from insomnia should, when travelng, nsst upon a ,.ouble bed in a quiet room. Be sure that it is not over the kitchen or near a motor garage, or facing ai clock that sounds the quarter hours, or within a girls throw of fowl house.

Here's an up to - date story, if there ever was one. In the opening chapter the hero is an unkempt tramp; at the end he's a candidate for the mayoralty of Chi cago, a capitalist and the lover of a fashionable girl on the Lake Shore drive. So there is room for lots Of ex- citing experiences in be- tween.
 The Lake Shore drive girl gives him a dollar 10 buy soap and cures him of being a hobo. A beautiful Russian woman starts him in anar- hy.

UNCLE MAY
COME OUT AHEAD
STEEL VESSELS PROFITS Ex-
PECTED TO WIPE OUT WOODEN
BOATS LOSSES.
BY GEORGE q. WATERS.

The Emergency Fleet Corporation
has delivered to the government 1895
completed ships, 523 of which are
wood, 1,242 steel. They represent
tonnage of 300, 900.
Ships are still being built under
wartime contracts. In fact, 1853
ships with a tonnage OF more than
100000 lightweight tons were deliv-
cred in 1919. And under the program.
after all cancellations of contracts
were made that were considered adj
visable by the shipping board. there
are still SAT ships to be delivered.
The shipping board has paid out more
than s22,0o0,O0O in claims made by
ship contractors. For this $4,000, 900
Uncle Sam got no ships, the shipping
board deeming it to be the part of
wisdom to underwrite possible losses of
shipbuilders, and redeem the govern
ment's moral obligations, rather than
to spend millions more and obtain
ships that were not needed.
In cases where the work had gone
so far that the board considered it
more economically sound to let the
contracts be completed. this course
was taken. AS a result UP TO Dec.
81, 1,740 ships had been delivered,
1875 hulls had been launched, 2,261
keels had been laid, and 81 more
keels are to be laid before the pro-
gram is completed.
II all the ships are sold, will the
government get what they cost? 1t
will, II it gets what it is asking for
them. 1t cost the government from
$500 to 1925 per ton to construct the
steel ships. It is asking from 500 10
$3.50 per lightweight ton for them.
This would give profit on about H.
100000 tons of steels vessels of Sta
5000 However, the shipping board
doesn't make such claim, the state
ment at the offices being that, if sold,
the government expected to get about
what they cost.
There is sure to be a loss of $780,
900 on wooden vessels, there being
about 100000 tons on which there
will be a loss of at least SIS ton,
If they are sold at prices asked. 1t
cost $40 a ton to build these and they
are being offered at 500 to S110 per
lightweight ton.
If SIS a ton profit is made on steel
vessels (Which is doubtfuD there
would be enough profit to offset the
loss on wooden vessels, and also the
$22, coo, 900 paid for ships Uncle Sam
didn't get, with a margin of $4,000
to go on. But If no profit is made on
the steel ships, the loss in sight from
building ships, is 172,0O0,00O, more
perhaps, not less. This win be charged
to the cost of the war"
The 11,5oo.oOO tons steel and 2,ooo,-
600 tons wood ships win have cost
Uncle Sam approximately $1,000,
100000.

DIPLOMATS TO
Meet IN TOXIC

Toxic. jan 23.-Premier Hara has
promised his support for a conference
of the Japan-American relations COM
mittee, composed of Japanese and
Americans, to be held heer next spring.
Baron Shibusawa has announced that
he expects the conference to contrib
ute to the solution of the anti-Japan-
csc agitation in California and in the
United States. The American section
of the committee was organized in
the United States when Baron Shibu-
sawa visited that country in 1915.
After his return home the Japanese
section was organized in Toxic with
more than a score of prominent Japan
csc business men to cooperate with
the American members.
The meeting of the committee now
has been called here for the exchange
Of frank opinions regarding diplo-
matte, economic and other questions
arising between Japan and the Unit
ed States. 1t is expected that about
Is men including five or six from
California and the others from the
eastern states will come to Toxic to
attend the meeting.
Government approval of the pro-
posed conference was given at a re-
ception recently held at the residence
OF the premier. Many leading Japan
csc attended to exchange views on the
promotion of friendly relations and a
better understanding between the ma
tions Among them were Baron Shi-
busawa, Baron Sakatani, Baron Kon-
do, Manzo Kushida, Zenjiro Horikoshi
Junnosuke Inouye, governor of the
bank Of Japan; Chuji Kapiwara, presi-
dent Of the Yokohama Specie Bank:
Baron Megata. Viscount Kaneko and
DR.. Juichi Soyeda.
The premier said he believed the con
ference would contribute to the adj
vancement of friendliness between
Japan and the United States and that
he and other members Of the cabinet
had decided TO give every possible sup
port to il.

because it is private property.
The owners of the whiskey are in
an unenviable position. They have
goods on hand, on which many of them
have borrowed money, but cannot sell
it to pay off their debts or move it.
They must continue to pay storage on
it, also insurance.
The government will lose the tax
of $500, 600, 900 which would have been
paid on this whiskey at $40 a gallon
when it was withdrawn from the bond
ed warehouses.
If any whislkey is stolen from the
warehouse the owners viii have TO
pay a tax of $3.50 per gallon. Should
thieves take 100 gallons of whiskey
from a warehouse the government will
exact $640. from the owners, making
him minus his whiskey and the tax
on it, too.

$50 far, all the proposals for solving
our railroad problem are unsound and

I am convinced that we can arrive
at the proper permanent solution only

McAdoo turned to the subject Of
Industrial, unrest.
Much of this, / think" ne said, sis
the result of the unsettled state OF
the country due to the postponement
of peace. But do think that the pI ob-
lem of labor and capital is one of the
major problems before America today
and that 1t must be dealt with, and
soon, and in a spirit Of fine tolerance
not intolerance on the part of anyone.
Labor feels, and feels increasingly,
the need for a larger voice in framing
conditions under which it is TO work
as well as the need for q fairer particle
patton in the fruits of industry. In
other words, we are face to face, as Il
nation, with the necessity of solving
the problem of real industrial de-
| mocracy.
1T is not easy. but it can be done.
The genius OF America developed I'M
der democratic institutions and demo-
cratic ideals is capable of bringing
about eventually this great adjust
ment between capital and labor which
| modern life makes absolutely indis-
pensable to human welfare.
"And while I am saying this I wish
also to say that the protection and de-
velopment of business in this country
| is lust as vital a part Of our, welfare
as any other feature Of modern
society.
Oppressive war taxes must be re-
duced. as I believe they can be re-
duced. If the congress displays the
proper wisdom. The war taxes are IN
any case unwisely and inequitably dis
tributed. With proper craftsmanship
our tax laws could be revised so that
hurtfully upon business and the people
as a whole, by a more equitable dis
tribution of the burden. This needs to
be studied, not in ct partisan spirit,
but in fine spirit of genuine service
to the American people. The response
bility of revising these tax laws rests
upon the republican congress and they
must not shirk it,
Which brings me logically to a piece
of unwritten history concerning the

SILVER BOOM
ON IN CHINA

Shanghai, Jan. 23-whiIe .Ameri-
cans have been buying British pound
sterling in New York for So 10 or less,
Americans here have been paying 500
in American gold for rs Mexican dol
lars, which are in current use here.
This unprecedented advance IN The
rate of exchange in Shanghai has been
due to the acute rise in the price of
silver. Probably no country in the
world has been more sharply affected
by this enhanced value of silver than
has China.
In consequence of the confused state
of exchange, the foreign trade through
this city, China's principal CONNER
cial center. became more or less dis
organized. Exporters ceased to look
for new business and confined their
activities wholly to filling old con-
tracts from the terms of which they
would have been glad to escape.
Shanghai bankers held frequent
conferences day and night in an effort
TO determine what might be done to
stabilize the exchange rates. For one
day all but one of the leading banks
in the city declined to issue drafts in
connection with export shipments to
America. These exporters who buy
their goods in China for silver and
sell them abroad for gold suffered
most severely. They were obliged to
restrict operations or raise prices
wherever the goods were sold
On the other hand importers who
buy their goods in America and are
paid for them in Mexican dollars have
prospered.
One of the difficulties arising from
the exchange situation is that much of
the business here is done under terms
arranged several years ago when an
American dollar was worth two Mex
lean dollars or more. Consequently
foreign workers here have suffered.
The bankers concluded that one
solution OF the problem would be to
increase the price Of China's products
throughout the world.

ton has been formed here to aid in
