BOY LIFE IN JAPAN

Except under foreign influence the
japanese small boy does not wear hat
or apron, but, in a figured or striped
kimono of gray, dark blue, green or
brown, he looks like little image OF
his father From his babyhood he is
serious and manly. At three and at
five years of age he goes to the tenn
pie to give thanks to the protecting
Diety and at home he honors the an
cestral shrine. At school he studies
Chinese and Japanese literature and
ethics and Is introduced TO various
subjects borrowed from western curri-
cula. The New Years season he cele-
brates with new clothes and new toys
and with sweetmeats. games and visits.
on the day OF Buddha's birth and at
the great "matsuri' Of the parish tenn
pie, which gives him a chance to help
carry a DASH" or blot, through the

or any motor vehicle. II they do SO
the child may be arrested and fined
or. rather, the parent must appear and
answer for the lawbreaker. At this
time we know Of but one city III the
state enforcing the law. That city IS
West Palm Beach. There have been
numerous arrests for the fracture OF
the law-and each arrest has resulted
in a, fine Of $40. If the law should Be
enforced in ChipIey there would be
any number Of cases in court.
Officials are lax about enforcing the
law frequently because children drive
even better than their elders in many
instances; but the law was passed un

greater presence or mind ia cases Of
emergency; besides that one point there
is less of an inclination 10 "show off,

PRESIDENTS CONSTRUCTION or
TREATY.

President Harding pulled a bone
as the saying Is. when he expressed
the opinion that the words 'insular
possessions and dominions in the Four
Power Treaty did not apply to the
home land of Japan. The American
delegation had agreed to the construc-
ton of the phrase to include the home
land or Japanese Empire.
Following a visit from Senators
Lodge and Underwood to the president
statement was issued from the White
House that the difference in view in
no wise would be permitted to embar-
rass 9he conference or the ratification
of the treaty.
For time the original statement
created some bewilderment and confu-
sion, all of which can be obviated here
after if the American delegates will let
the president'in on what they are doing
and what it means

ROTTEN REASONING

The following dispatch from Wash
ington Thursday speaks for itself, to
those who are able to reason out the
difference between hoity and toity:
Henry Ford's attempt to reduce
freight rates on coal 20 per cent along
his railroad, the Detroit Toledo and
Ironton. was disalIowed today by the
Interstate Commerce Commission on
the ground that the reduction would
constitute a discrimination against
other mining territory whose coal
product is sold in Toledo, Detroit and
other cities aleng the Ford railroad.
The commission has allowed all other
reductions In interstate rates on the
Ford railroad which he has made on
other commodities"
This means, if q man in the outskirts
OF Tampa and a man across the Gaa--
gia line have the same product TO sell
in Tampa. sufficient protective tariff
should be put on the man near Tampa
to keep him on basis Of equality with
the Georgia man,
If that decision stands we look to see
the parcel post rate on shipments from
Tampa to places within a hundred
miles Of this office raised TO an equal
ity with the rate from Chicago to
Tampa. SO the mail order houses of
Chicago whose product is sold in this
section of Florida may not be diserim-
mated against.
We read, also, that the commission
has allowed al other reductions in in
terstate rates on the Ford railroad
which he has made on other eommodi-
ties" Ye gods. is doth amaze Us, Why
should the coal kings operating outside
the Ford railroad cities Of distribution,
ana selling in those cities. be permitted
to come in under a protective figure.
while the manufacturers. miners and
farmers of the immediate regions. de-
string to sell their product in the cities
along the line are made to meet the
prices OF distance and greater freight
rate charges Tampa Tribune

How Lillian Managed" Dicly While

Lillian took charge OF me with the
swift practical energy that character

Not a word, or at least only one or
two,a she said. smiling as she slipped
her arm around me and led me to her
wonderful rose -hued bedroom, the one
she had kept sacred for her little
daughter in the dark days before the
child was restored to her.

authority which is as much a part Of
Lillian as her features, and which no
one ever resents.

perienced maid could have done

negligees, and tucked me costly in bed

tablet between my lips, and holding a
glass of water for me to drink, after
1 had obediently swallowed what she
had given me. recognized the tablet
as one of the kind DR.. Petit had once
prescribed for my attacks of headache
and remembered haziIy that l had seen
DR.. Petit hand Lillian a small envelope
when he was explaining to her that
needed her care.
1t was probably a good thing for me
that the pain in my head, which was
raging by the time Lillian had gotten
me into bed, prevented me from think
ing about the meaning and probable
consequences of my encounter with my
husband. BY the time the tablet took
effect, I was glad to slip into slumber.
See Here, Liz"
When I awakened the twilight was
fast changing into night, and the only
light came through a crack in the al
most closed door leading into the living
room. heard the murmur OF voices at
first low. then evidently forgetting eau
ton as their owners became more eX-
cited. With an apprehensive, yet re-
joicing little thrill, recognized one
of the voices as Dicky's.
