RUSSIA'S PLIGHT.

Reports from Lemberg. by way of Berlin, are to
the effect that the soviet government of Russia is
about to send Maxim Gorky on mission to London
and Washington in behalf of the stricken country
that once was the great Muscovite empire. Gorlky,
within the last few days, issued appeal addressed
ito all honest men, stating that the drought and the
plague are killing millions in Russia and that
Europe and America must bring us immediate aid ."
Now the government of Lenne and Trotzky Is said
to have made confidential overtures to America
der to obtain help that is urgently needed if cond-
tons as bad reports describe The unfortu-
nate country is said to be in the throes of horrors
even worse than those ascrbed to the revolution It.

Such result of Russias surrender to the God

MAKING THE NECK PRETTY.

A young girl wrote me a couple
of weeks ago that she was trou-
bled with what she called neck
laces." l discovered that she
meant four deep lines that ran
directly across her neck. These did
not make her look old now, she
said, as she was only IS, and
scarcely looked that, but she was
sure that when she was 80 these
deepening lines would add much
to her age. And very sensibly she
wanted to get rid of them at once.
l wrote her a letter asking
whether she slept with a high pill
low, and whether she wasn't round
shouldered. In her reply she an
swered yes to both questions The
deep lines across her neck were
due to the fact that her head was
constantly bent forward when
awake and when sleeping.
l advised her to take an old
towel, wiring it out in hot water
and roll it around her neck. AS
soon as it had cooled she was to
take it off and rub in a quantity
of flesh building cold cream, or of
warmed cocoa butter. Then she
was to do the following exercise:
She was to stand erect and to
drop the head forward on her
chest, then with the neck as a piv-

NO BARGAINING.

Speculation in London touching Japans attitude
toward the Washington conference on Pacific ques-
tions now prognosticates yielding to the Harding
program provided racial equality be added to the
agenda. This is predicted the fact that on two
previous occasions when Japan has sought decis-
ion on this question the statesmen have withdrawn
their proposition without prejudice to their reintro
ducing 1t when circumstances might appear more
favorable.
These two occasions were the peace conference at
Paris and the session of the assembly of the League
of Nations at Geneva. At neither Of these places
the japanese statesmen equipped to force their views
unwilling governments of the west Their territor-
ial demands satisfied at Paris and there they
were admitted to the front rank of nations. At
Geneva they found no encouragement to press their
demand. Beside that the United States not 3

stake, as far the Nipponese are concerned is to

servers in the British capital.
The issues which President Harding is expected
to enumerate as suitable to the minds of the
statesmen to gather in Washington will be discussed
and settled, if there is settlement without refer
ence to any questions Of racial equality. Each one of
the Pacific problems is question which stands for
itself AS such they must be settled. If Japan cares
to regard them in another light, that is her privilege

bushes and Uncle Wiggily stood
looking with both eyes, saying:
Now maybe an adventure Is
coming out!"
But, instead, out popped the bad
old Fox.
ooh, no! and oh, hal" howled
the Fox. II didn't think I'd catch
you quite so soon, Uncle Wiggily!
But l have, and now I'll nibble
your ears!'
Did Uncle Wiggily stand there
to have his ears nibbled? Indeed
he did not. Away he ran, but the
Fox ran after him. And. as Uncle
Wiggily had to carry his rubbers,
raincoat and umbrella, he could not
hop as fast as he wished.
ooh, dear! There's no help for
it! I've got to drop some of these
storm things!" sighed the bunny
II guess I'll drop my rubbers. Then
I can hop faster. Or MOI" he sud-
denly thought. "I'll throw my rub
bers at the Fox. If can hit him on
the nose, maybe he'll stop chasing
after me-"
Uncle Wiggily stopped, took the
rubbers from around his neck, and.
as the Fox came trotting along, the
bunny threw the rubbers at him as
hard as he could.
"Bang!" they hit the Fox on his
nose.
ooh, WOW! Oh, ouch! Wouch!"
howled the Fox. what is this?
Who hit me?"

gily, land, If you come any closer
I'll let you have the umbrella and
the rain coat"
ooh, l won't come any nearer!'
barked the Fox.
Then he ran away, after chewing
up Uncle Wiggily's rubbers. The
bunny hoped along, glad he had
saved his ears when, all of sud-
den, the Wolf popped out from be-
hind a stone and began to chase
him.
Away ran Mr.. Longears with the
Wolf after him. At first the bunny
kept ahead, but finally he was SO
tired from carrying the raincoat
and umbrella that he could hardly
hop. Nearer and nearer came the
Wolf. ....
There is no help for it," sighed
Uncle Wiggily. Il must part with
my raincoat!"
He threw it at the Wolf, over
the baG chaps head and the coat
tangled in the VOLTS paws and
blinded him so he couldn't see and
gave the bunny a chance to hop
along.
The Wolf tore the raincoat all to
pieces in his teeth, but by that
time Mr.. Longears was far away.
II have lost my raincoat ana
rubbers," said Uncle Wiggily. but
l still have my umbrella in case II
rains"
Just then the bad Bob Cat began
to chase him and the Bob Cat ran
So fast that he almost caught the
bunny. But Uncle Wiggily suddenly
stopped, opened his umbrella and
threw it right in front of the Bob
Cat. The bad chap ran into 1t and
became so tangled up in the ribs,
the cloth and the handle that he fed
down and bumped his nose and,
when he got up. Uncle Wiggily was
far, far away.
OF course the umbrella was
broken, but better that than hav-
ing Uncle Wiggily's ears nibbled.
Mr.. Longears soon safely reached
his bungalow.

Nurse Jane.
"You were right" spoke the rab-
bit gentleman. but all the same,
I'm glad l had my rubbers. my
coat and umbrella, even If l have
to buy all new ones"
So all happened for the best, you
see. And Il the little fish in the
brook doesn't catch the dolls hair

Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, the
muskrat lady housekeeper, stood
on the front porch of the bunny

she took off her spectaeles, wiped
them on her apron, put them back
on her nose and peered Though

the muskrat lady. "Anybody'd think
