coming back rapidly, they are multi
plying in numbers, and they are ex-

A few years ago they were verging

After Dinner Trick S

No. 1s-Rapid Addition to Make 100
The performer offers to race any one
counting to 100. the conditions being
that first one will name a number not
over ten; then the other will add
similar number, etc, thus: 3. IL. IL,
81, IS. and so on. The one who man
ages to name 100 wins the race. The
performed wins every time.
The secret lies in certain key"
numbers. They are l, -. %, "a, 45,
Sc. 81. rs. 50. After several numbers
have been given the performer strikes
for one of those numbers, and from
then on he cannot be beaten. Thus the
man who starts the race can always
win--if he knows the secret-for he has
merely to begin by naming l.
A variation is for the performer to
make his opponent win. The key"
numbers for this are Il, 90, 33, A.

High school at the noon hour lunch
con of that club at the Elks' club to-
day. The members of the team, head
ed by their coach, George Cassidy

tune of a High school song.
The table for the guests was set in
the center of the room between two
tables which were occupied by Ro-
tarians. Coach Cassidy was the first
man to be introduced by President
Leon Sprague. DR.. Henry Bray was
the next member to make the ac-

across as they should at the end of
the season. He further added that

wonderful prestige in the state of

JAPAN ACCEPTS PACIFIC PROPOSALS
BUT HAS NOTAGREED TO NAVY PLAN

Washington, Dec, s (By Associated
Press)-The Japanese government
has accepted the proposal for a
quadruple understanding in the
Pacific, an authorized British spoles-
man said today.
The British spokesman said the
5-5-3 ratio proposition with regard
to capital ships was in some way re-
lated to complete settlement and
that this proposition had not yet been
accepted by the Japanese government.
Calling attention to an Associated
Press dispatch from Honolulu quoting
a japanese newspaper as to accept
ance by the Toxic government of the
Quadruple plan, the British spOkes-
man said this was correct, and that
the Washington conference knew it
to be correct.
Explaining the application of the
four power agreement to matters out
side of China, the spokesman as
serted that it might concern the
Anglo-Japanese alliance as this treaty
applied to differences arising in the
Pacific and of course 1t might cover
the important questions OF naval
ratio, maintenance of naval bases and
Notifications.
Only Preliminary
The British spokesman said that
while the Japanese government had
approved the proposals, this was Only
preliminary part of the proceeding.
This arrangement, he said, was re-
lated to the question of the naval
ratio. The conference committee on
Ear Eastern affairs. he added, was
now waiting for official notice by the
Japanese government that it had ap-
proved the whole of the scheme, in
volving an agreement on the naval
ratio.
The agreement in regard to lap, it
was said had no special reference to
the matter under consideration by
the conference. Such an agreement
had been under consideration for "A
considerable period, and was grow
ing nearer to satisfactory con-
clusion, it was added.
There appeared to be tendency to
mix UP two or three different phases
of the agreements, said the spokes-
man. Outlining them he said first,
there was the original Nap agree
mcnt; second there was the proposed
cooling off" agreement and third
there was a similar arrangement in
regard to the maintenance of the
status quo with reference to naval
bases and fortifCations.
