HE SAYS TITS EASY
Associated Pressl

Cambridge. Mass, Nov. -9.--What-
ever the problems of the armament
conference, an agreement for limita-
tion Of naval armament ought to be q
Comparatively simple matter" says
Ambassador Shidehara Of Japan, one
Of that country's delegates, writing
in the current issue of the Harvard
Crimson.
The ambassador bases his state
ment on the conclusion that the war
left only three great naval power
each on a different continent and with
none Of the real interests Of one con-
flicting vitally with the others"
At the same time the ambassador
takes opportunity to outline Japan's
case at the arms conference, her re-
latiOn to China and the far eastern
situation, as well as her place In the

OPEN AIR LIFE FOR GIRLS
Mrs. Harding Favors Girl Scout Or
ganizations
rAssOciat tad Pr0as1

New York, Nov. Open air life
and healthful games for girls are fav-
ored by Mrs. Warren G. Harding. In
a letter to Mrs. Oliver Hartman, ma
tional president Of the Camp Fire Girls
the wife Of the president writes:
II have never been able to imagine
any reason why the Camp Fire Girls
should not be just as useful an organ
ization for the girls as the Boy
Scouts. Moreover, 1t seems to me
that girls need this kind Of induce
ment to open air life and healthful
games and occupations, quite as much
as the boys. The part that women
play in the world has been greatly
changed even in my own generation,
it has been broadened and enlarged
and we will be wise If we recognize
that larger consideration for the
health and physical advancement Of
the girls will better fit them for the
role they must assume"

LEARNED TO SAVE HEAT
One of Lessons England Got From
War
lAssociated Press1

Chicago, Nov. 8.-England has
taken advantage Of economies brought
to light under world war necessities,
has abolished obsolete heat standards
and is making great strides in con-
servations Of coal and oil for her
people, Alfred I. Phillips Of New
York, gas engineer Of the American
Gas Association; who has Just return
ed from an investigation trip to the
British Isles, told the managing COM
mittee at its session held today Just
are said to be destitute circum-
nual convention of the association to-
morrow.
England learned during the war
that q great portion Of the heat In gas
went into the atmosphere a sheer
waste" Mr.. Phillips said. The re-
suit Is that fixed stanadrds Of heat
have been abolished. Instead the gas
company declares the calorilc value
Of the gas II intends to deliver and
the householder or industrial user
pays on that basis. Waste, either In
production or in the money the user
pays, Is reduced to the minimum.

FRUIT MADE TO ORDER
Iowa Man Grows Melons Of Any
Flavor and Color
Associated Pressl

Dubuque, Ia, Nov. 9-Cheating ma
ture at her own game and playing
with cards Of watermelon, tomatoes
fruit trees and muskmelon, G. w
Marshall, Of Minneapolis, Mimi, has
achieved the almost impossible from
the standpoint Of the horticulturist,
In bringing out seedless varieties OF
vegetable fruits, and coloring and
favOring muskmelons as desired.
A record Of eight years Of work
is behind Mr.. Marshall and his er-
forts, he told select group Of grow
ers in Dubuque recently. Constant
experiment, failures with repeated
trials led to the winning of the game
with nature.
Muskmelons may be favored easily
he told the growers. A bottle filed
with thinned sugar syrup colored any
shade wished is the principal mater
ial needed. The bottle with a wick
Of wool set In cork, tightly wrapped
to stick, is inverted near the melon,
the wick Is inserted In the stem Of
the plant. When mature the melon
will be colored the desired shade and
according to the syrup.
Obtaining seedless watermelon,
tomato, cucumber or any other var
lety Of vegetable is a simple matter.
After the vegetable fruit has started
to grow following pollination Of the
blossom, section Of the vegetable
vine Is cut.
The cut must be confined TO one
section, and the vine must not be
severed. Two other cuts must also
be made in the same section. Cuts Of
TWO inches are sufficient to accom-
plish the purpose. With three length
wise cuts made, the end Of the center
,ut Is severed and buried In the
ground. The seedless variety is the
result.

Sort Unmarked Mail
ASSOCIATED Press1
New York, Nov. 8.-One way tC
reduce federal expenses would be fol
everybody to think twice, or at least
once, before mailing letter or q
package. Carelessness by part Of the
public requirs thousands Of postal
employees to do nothing but straight
en- out misdirected and improperly ad-
dressed mail. The working hours thus
employed each year would, If placed
end to end, stretch all the way back
to B. c., perhaps farther.
One naive thing great many peo-
pie do every day Is to drop a letter
or tarcel in the mail box without
word inscribed upon 1t to show who
the sender might be or to whom 1t Is
intended to be deliverd. This feat,
postal officials say, Is accomplished
400 times day in New York alone.
Such mail must be ripped open in the
hope Of identifying the sender or In
tended recipient. Curiously, the spec
ial mailing clerks of big business
houses are said to be guilty Of this
careless act just about as often as
those for whom licking stamps and
envelopes do not consti-
tute a calling.
