advantage and in addition greatly
heightened her prestige among the
nations. China ceded the island of
Formosa (now officially known as
Taiwan), with it's $4,000 square miles
of territory and its 100000 inhabit
ants: and the Chinese peninsula OF
Liaotung. on which battle-scarred
Port Arthur is now situated: and ac-
knowledged the independence OF ko-

forced Japan to relinquish the Lao
tung peninsula, and Russia later
leased it from China. but the Russo
Japanese war placed it again in Japa-
nese possession, and the island empire
now holds it under a ninety-nine-year
lease. By defeating Russia Japan
further extended her influence, both
on the mainland of Asia and among
the islands. She obtained q protec-
torate over Korea, a sphere of influ-
ence' in Manchuria, and the cession
OF the southern half Of the Island OF

SOLVE SECRET WHICH PUZZLED
SCIENTISTS

British aviation scientists have
solved the secret of how bats avoid
objects they cannot see and are ap-
plying their discovery to aircraft in
the hope of safeguarding them
against collision. Reports of the ex-
periments, made public by an army
aviation statement, said progress was
being made with devices adapted
from studies of the bats which would
act as representatives. against coils
ions of aircraft. According to the
statement, the scientists blindfolded
number of bats and released them
i'm a room which was crossed with
many wires and partitioned from an
other room by grid containing
holes just large enough for the bats
to fly through. The result was that
the flying bats never touched wire
and flew through the holes with ease.
The experiments revealed the bats
secret. They were found to emit a
note, often inaudible to the ear,
which would bound back from the
wires and partition, conveying accu-
rate information to the bats sensitive
ears and enabling them to map out
space with eXactneSs.
Aeronautical experts believe that
airmen can do the same thing. The
British are busy devising instru-
ments to that end, and their efforts
are said already to have led to the
development of instruments which
are expected to record for airmen
sounds as they approach objects. 1t
is said that this information is .ex-
pected to be supplied equally as we'll
in the dark or mist as in clear at
mosphere.

"EVAS" MAKE POODLE DOGS OF
THEIR ADAMS

Now ladies, you know you told us
you were going to purify politics and
make the men ashamed of their mode
of government. Was there any spe-
cific improvement at the late primary
election? Men were disappearing
just the same old way and were busy
as bird dogs collecting and herding
the floating element" And then.
madam, if you are intimate with any
of the election officers quiz them
automatically and you will learn to
your humiliation that twelve in
round numbers of your sex did like
Esau of old at certain precinct. Is
that a good beginning and symbolic
of political publication? Ladies,
Notwithstanding that we love you
better than a sheep loves alfalfa,
but we always have known that
your angelical assertions and your
enthusiastic acclamations of moral
superiority is proclamation with
out basic grounds of argument.
From statistical and psychological
investigation and from daily observa-
ton we discover that it takes some
thing more than mere blood, muscle,
tissue and bone to make man or
woman. This is dip into deep the
ology and we leave it to the preach
ers to tell us why the hearts of the
female sex are purer and holier than
the male, and if they will with boast
ed purity, noble ideas, sanctity of
purpose and with their long coveted
privileges convert this nation into
land of purity, prosperity, peace and
tranquility. Hence, ladies, you have
perched yourselves upon high pin
nacle, shouldered obligations and re-
sponsibilities stupendously great and
now if you fail to deliver the goods
we shall know that you, like Mother
Eve, saw the susceptibility of Adams
weakness and scientifically coaxed
him to eat the forbidden fruit, are
still at the same old game, alluring
us with suggestive temptations and
deceiving us with unholy anticipa-
tions and training us to lead around
like an innocent God forsaken

baseball in American life, the Chi

Though death and taxes are still

court, at Hartford, Conn.,, and the
judge apparently considered as ex-
tenuating and irritating a. false
alarm from New Britain, where. af-
ter drive across half the State, it
was found the corpse was alive.
The charge against Eisenman was
reckless driving, and the court, SEEM
ed inclined to hold that it was but
natural to hasten home a little fast
and furious, after such an experience.
Eisenman, chauffeur of the auto

New Britain and Immediately drove
the fifty miles. Arriving, he found
the corpse" was alive and hourly
