French and German
Trade Situation Is
Somewhat Better
British Outlook Improved,
but in Other European
Countries Conditions Are
Still Much Depressed

Some improvement in the trade sit
ustion In France and Germany Ia in
dicased In reports to the Department
of Commerce. aid the outlook in the
United Kingdom is regarded more OPP
timistically, but no change for the
better is shown in advices from other
European countries
Increased activity in France is fore
shadowed by the fact that many new
loans are being authorized for purposes
of reconstruction and for improve
meuts. The labor situation is stated
to be growing more satisfactory and
lsborers in many lines of industry have
become reconciled to q lower wage
scale. Important reductions have been
accomplished without difficulty, partic-
ularly in the iron and steel industry
in Lorraine and in the textile, shoe
and potash industries, and the mer-
chant marine.
In Germany, both the financial and
industrial situations are said to be
improving. Bank deposits are increas-
ing. Unemployment is decreasing. The
government has an adequate stock of
grain, but continues importing on long
time credits. A subsidy of 1900, 900 900
marks has been voted for importing
grain and flour for the fiscal wear.
A general feeling of optimism as re-
CARDS the industrial situation is stated
to prevail in Great Britain. The reduc-
ton in the bank rate and the settle
ment Of the coal strike have already
had effect. AS corollary to the bright
ened aspect for future business it is
anticipated that a gradual improve
ment IN the rate Of exchange will be
experienced. AT the beginning of July
prices OF cotton, silk, hides, foodstuffs
and -four showed tendencies to
strengthen, whereas the prices of wool,
Der. copper, tin and iro. weakened.
Cabling from Copenhagen, CONNER
elal Attache Norman L. Anderson
states that the depression in trade, in
dustry and finance in the scandinavian
countries shows no sign of improve
ment IN the near future. Defation is
occurring and speculation is decreas-
ing. The Swedish and Danish govern
ments have refused to increase import
duties, although this was urgently re-
quested by the industries for the pro-
lection against German goods sold in
Scandinavian market at bottom prices.
The reason is given that this would
stop domestic fall in prices. Wholesale
prices are declining to q great extent,
but retail prices have not generally
followed this decline.
While Italian exports are still de-
creasing, imports showed a notable
advance in value during June Com
pairing stocks of import mechandise
with last year, those of raw and man.
ufactured cotton are larger. Stocks of
hemp, silk, coal and hides for export
are greater than at the corresponding
period last year.

will usually mean fight, with fatal
results to the foreigner.
In Japan it Is, therefore, not legal to
protect ones self with weapons. even
against burglar, as to shoot any one
exposes one to a charge of murder. 1t
is noticeable that when burglars who
have committed murder are on trial
their main defence is that thew were
attacked by their hosts and had to kin
IN self-defence. The remarkable thing
is that they Gun always get lawyers to
defend them and enter this plea before
the court.
Recently the Japanese authorities
have begun to consider the advisability
of employing women on the metropoi-
itan police force. This Is no doubt due
to British example, though for some
time women in Japan have been used ms
detectives, being regarded as more as
tute in some matters than men. Japan
has sent Investigators to England to
study the police system, and some of
them have been visiting Ireland to
learn British police methods there, for
Corea is now called, in Tokyo, the
ireland of Japan, and the Japanese
imagine England may have something
to teach them as to how to deal with a
refractory population

London Doctors All

Don't Know Why
Physician Ridicules Idea,
Based ON Old Tradition,
That Anyone Who Is Any

LONDON, juno 10 (By MaiD.-It il
tradition that London doctors must
live in Harley Street, even though
they do not like it, according to a writ
err in The London Daily Mail, who
quotes conversation with medical
friend.
He had been engaged, says the
writer, for five consecutive minutes in
cursing the megalomania of half-bred

tyranny of socialistic rates" l was
not surprised, for a demand note wa,

great if he hailed from any street
other than Harley.
"At one time Wimpole Street seemed
to be threatening to rival Harley

Japanese Advise
Victim to Treat
Burglar Politely
Outlaws Are Accustomed to
Courtesy and Claim Self
Defense if They Kill After
They Are First Attacked

LONDON, June 20 (By ail).-Dur-
ing the winter season, writes Jap
anese correspondent to The London
Morning Post, burglars always become
more active and aggressive in Japan,
and the question of how best to deal
with them is an important one. 1t is
matter upon which the Japane Sc
point of view appears to differ radi-
cally from that which obtains in Occi-
dental countries.
The Englishman's house is his castle
and intruders get no quarter. In
America and Canada, too, burglars OBJ
tain short shrift and indeed consider
1t SO dangerous to enter house by
night that they usually adopt the prac-
tice Of attacking people on the streets
instead. But the Japanese police say
that burglar should be received
courteously and given tea if possible,
during which entertainment careful
notice should be taken of the intrud-
er's dress, habits, appearance, voice
and so on.
1t takes foreigner a long time in
Japan to realize that this advice against
offering objection to burglars is no
joke, and should be followed literally.
Indifference to it has resulted in sew
eidl 1orelSnefS losing Lhelr lives IN
the last few years. On finding burg
lar in their room they attempted to
throw him out, or capture him, and
were promptly run through with the
short dagger he always carries. On
one occasion the burglar was astonished
that his victim, who this time proved
to be a Japanese, did not receive him
in the usual Japanese way, and he was
still more astonished to find that his
opponent was skilled swordsman with
keen blade behind his pillow, which
he drew upon the robber and sent the
latter flying out of the house wounded
The only foreigners that are success
full with Japanese burglars are those
that have a revolver within imm ediate
reach and draw it on the intruder be-
fore he can prevent it. But, as rule,
one is asleep until the fellow has the
coign Of vantage, when disobedience

Mount 0emaVend, Paradise of Zoroas- ter, Hae Seen Many Emplres
 RiSe and Fall.

Just as Mount Olympus, in Greece, was the home of the gods, so Mt. Demavend, in Persia, Is the paradise of ZOroaster. Many legends have en- velOped this great mountain peak. which towers over 1S,0OO feet above the plains, and 1t is held in super stitious awe by the natives, so much so that the only way to secure a guide Is to offer him a months salary.
 Mount Demavend Outrivals in pro- portion any mountain In Europe, and is the highest peak in southwestern Asia. The fire wOrshipers and Persian classical poetry tell about the mons ter tyrant ZOhak, who, halted in his worldwide tyranny, was chained Pro- metheus-like upon It's peak. Almost at It's very base the mother of ZOrOas- ter was born.
 The peak marks the eastern limit of raids of the Assyrians before the rise fR power of the great kings of Persia. It OverlOOks, on it's eastern face, the mountain home of the great Parthian empire Alexander the Great paused beneath it in pursuit of Darius III to send expeditions through the nearby passes AntiOchus the Great marched by 1t against the Parthians, and west ward along the route came Genghis Khan, Kulagu Khan and Tamarlane, with their ravaging MongOl hordes.

GREATEST IN PLAINS STATES
Matter of Farm Risks Established by Records Kept by the Depart
 ment of Agriculture.

Risks in the production of three great staple crops-cOrn, wheat and oats-are greatest in the plains states. extending from Texas to North Da- kota. This general fact is established by the average deviation of the yield per acre from the average yield, con- puted by the bureau of crop estimates, Department of Agriculture, for these three crops for each state from the records of 50 years.
 On the other hand, the North At lantic and the western states are re- giOns of comparatively low risk, or deviation of yield per acre from the average, for wheat and oats, and the entire Atlantic coast and the west for corn.
 The great corn belt, with it's enor- nous production and surplus above local consumption, is, after all, prom inently subject to risks of weather, in- sects and disease in the production of crops, and, while it would be going" too far to say of this region as a whole that the results of it's agriculture are either "a feast or famine," yet there is a tendency in this direction as the area covered by the average becomes more restricted to county, township and individual farm.

SIMPLE DIET ALWAYS BEST
As True Now as When Addison Ad- vlsed 1t, More Than Two
 Centuries Ago.

Two hundred years ago Addison wrote: Mature delights in the most plain and simple diet. Every animal, but man, keeps to one dish. Herbs are the food of this species, fish of that and flesh of a third. Man falls upon the smallest fruit or excrescence of the earth, scarce a berry or mushroom can escape him.
 "It is impossible to lay down any discriminate rule for temperance. Were to consider my readers as my patients, and to prescribe such kind of temperance as is accommodated to all persons, would copy the follow ing rules of very eminent physician: Make your whole repast out of one dish; if you indulge in a second, avoid drinking anything strong till you have finished your meal; at the same time abstain from all sauces, or at least such as are not the most plain and simple.'"

REAL HEAT IN PHILIPPINES
Travellers Description of Weather During Some Months Is Not by
 Any Means AlIuring.

The rainy season Is behind time, and the dear garden burns yellow brown. It Is so hot that even the crickets are still. The long, black raftered rooms are unendurably warm Caroline S. Shunk writes in Asia Magazine. Smoke from the servants fire in the yard drifts in over us. The yellow earth at our back door stretches, a glaring plain, to meet the jungle, which rolls up a rich green caTpet to the Secret Place Mountain" where. so runs the legend, a Negrito chieftain hid his favOrite wife. There she died, and, at her request, the deli cately carved comb that held her long hair was buried with her. From this grave, the natives say, grew tree with leaves like the fine, soft hair of a wOman-the useful and beautiful bamboo tree.
 Out in the yard the women have ceused their chanting to the beat of their washing paddles, to sit around chow pot of rice and smoke long, black cigars. Their sphinx like faces have no Illuminating expression, save when baby tOddles too near the open fire. Then the look of fear and love with which the child is hnstiIy snatched away into the arms of the little brown mother includes us for an instant and is gone. We are shut out in an alien world again. I hear the plaint of the Chinese cook: "China not same. Alice samee China boys go. Too muchee Mellcan man." Then, a harsh, clattering word like a tin pan falling from a table-perhaps a Chi- nese swearwOrdl
