A STORY OF "WHAT IF"

w nat Ii
That is famous way of starting a
story of the Just-suppose-this-w hap
pen sort. So let's try one of that kind
To begin with: 1t is said there will be
no great trouble for the United States and
Japan to agree to naval limitation at the
coming Armament Conference. The rub
will be when it comes to Japan's insistence
that the United States shall stop threaten
ing her with those Gibraltar-like forts
which we are building and have built in
the PHILIPPINES and Hawaii. The United
States won't want to dismantle those
strongholds.
WHAT IF-what if we Just sent n
big force of men with crowbars. sledge
hammers and INT to Hawaii and the
Philippines and tee-totally destroyed those
forts of ours. What if we Just simply left
both of those dependencies as wide open
as We have left our own Canadian border
open for over 100 years.
Wouldn't that disarm. soften, pacify
Japan so far as we are concerned?
Wouldn't it make her as meek to us our
English cousins over in Canada have been
for a century?
But WHAT IF, on the other hand.
Japan should play the snake in the grass
and cowardly attack the unarmed Philip
pines and Hawaii? In other words the inn
probable but not the impossible.
Wouldn't the whole American nation
arise in its wrath and pour its wealth.
fighting Drawn and eXhaustess forceful-
ness into naval assault so overwhelming
that Japan would be surrounded and total
ly annihilated as power-annihilated
even as a nation? Then our cause would
be just before all men and in the sight OF
God. Our success would be certain and
the greatest object lesson for peace and
of righteousness that world has ever wit
messed

LYCEUM VAUDEVILLE

For the first half of next week a vaudeville program has been select ed at the Lyceum to surpass all others that have been appearing. The head liner is the Marco Twins the only in1i- tators of Mutt and Jeff. The Marco twins have been a recognized standard act for the past two decades, many times efforts have been made to pro- duce an act similar but always have failed. This no doubt was due to the fact that the personal appearance of the artists was impossible to duplicate for one elongated Spt cimen of humani- ty is over six feet tall while the other is a squat chunky dwarfish chap who is unable to top a yard stick in height This disparity in appearance and size is Imaginable but when accentuated by a ludicrous makeup their appear ance is always hailed with screams of laughter. They do dancing, acrobatic stunts and sing like the night birds. The Jim Jam Trio, another act which will help to make everybody smile The Earl Sisters, Sax and Wheeler, Manalo Bros. ano Danse Vareties will complete the vaudeville program. May Allison the moving picture queen will appear in "Extravagance." Which portrays most truly and poignantly what Nancy's attitude wrought with her own life and that of the man she loved.

curve eaten enough breakfast for two women. You'n be getting fat if you don't look out, and then you'll lose your husband. I give you solemn
 warning now-no jowls and double chins for me ,'
 I laughed appreciatively, as only a woman whose tendency it is to be
 thin can at words like that from
 husband. But Mother Graham, who
 is comfortably cushioned, although
 trim and compact, glared at him.. Dicky is in Trouble.
 ''Is there any other insult you
 would like to offer me before you so,
 Richard?" she sald icily, and her face
 was white with anger, Dicky's jaw dropped in dismay. and the smlle fed from my lips. Neither of us had
 thought how the reference would af-

 "Oh, my sainted aunt - Dicky ex-
 claimed wildly Mother, dear, you
 know I didn't mean a single thing by that nonsense. You haven't towels or a double chin, and, besides, old
 ladies ought to be fat, anyway.
 They're cross when they're skinny.
 Now, when I get whit whiskers and
 Madge gets white hair I'm going to Now, when I get white whiskers and
 shall demand at least two double chins from her."
 But his mother was not to be pla- cated by his nonsense. She rose and drew her shawl about her. I'm going to my room, or at least what I have to call such''-her sniff definitely classified all Mrs. Ticer's ac- | com oda tions as unworthy of men, tion-"and you can clean or not, get ready for Katie or not as you see fit. shall not oversee one single thing. So, Margaret, if you wish to go gal | livanting around the country with Richard instead of attending to your work, I shall not be here to attend to your duties for you.''
 She swept from the room in her haughtiest manner, while 1 mentally
 sang little paean of thankfulness. Mrs. Ticer, I had already seen, vas a capable workwomen, but exceeding fly touchy. She and her son Jerry, were the only help available for the disagreeable cleaning which must be done. I had dreaded infinitely Mother Graham's supervision, for knew that it probably would mean
 Mrs. Ticer's withdrawal from the work in rage.

Why Mother Graham's Decision
 Relieved MaIge.


 Woman like, I anathematized my own loquacity when Dicky made his offhand proposal to telephone the Durkees about the plans of Jim and Katie. If I only could have kept my dismayr over the situation to myself I railed at myself bitterly, he never would have thought of telephoning.
 Or-my, particular little devil seized the opportunity to, whisper in my ear was he perhaps alert for any ex- cuse, any opportunity for communi- eating. with the house where Edith aware of. :. the absurdity of the sug- gestion, knowing Dickys tempera- ment and that if he wished to teie- phone Edith Fairfax he would make an opportunity and not wait for one. But when is a woman ever reason able, or indeed quite sane, when her Jealousy is. aroused?
 I dard make Tho objection to g the scheme, for fear Dicky might sus- pect my feeling. : But Mother Gra- ham had no such scruples.
 Have you taken leave of your sensesa she ishrilled. Spending all that money just to find out what that ape is s;going to do :! If she doesn't come on one train she'll come on an other. All you've got to do is to get ready for her, though why you couldn't let her clean a place out for herself after. she gets here is more than l.. know-e You're just beginning to pamper her here, as you always have and always will, I suppose, until she gets mad and leaves. you. in the lurch some day, just when you need her most"

 Wisely, I made no answer to- this tirade, which: sounded far more un- feeling than it was. Mother Gra- ham; would no more have allowed tired Katie and Jim to rcome to the filthy rooms at the Daeey farm with out first having them cleaned than I would But she had to have her little growl first.

 Pickles stimulate a tagging appe- t1te. Strong cider vinegar should be used for pickling. Vinegar loses it's strength when heated. It should come to the boiling point, but not be al- lowed to boil.
 Alum is used to preserve the crisp ness of pickles. A lump about the size of a small nutmeg to a gallon of pickles is a good rule.
 Homemade pickles will take the place of olives as relish, and may be substituted for winter salad Gherkins.
 One hundred small cucumbers, 2 quarts boiling water, 1 1-2 cups salt 1 gallon vinegar, 2 sticks cinnamon, 8 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon mus tard seed, 2 tablespoons cloves
 Wash pickles and wipe with a dry cloth. Put in a large, deep crock and pour over brine made by dissoIving the salt in boiling water. Let stand three days. Drain cucumbers from brine and heat brine. Bring to boil ing point and pour over cucumbers Let stand three days. Drain cucum- bers from brine, put into alum wa ter and let stand over night. Drain from alum water. Put vinegar, cu- cumbers and spices in preserving ket- tie and bring to the boiling point Pack cucumbers in sterling glass jars, pour over boiling vinegar and seal The jars must be brimming full and the vinegar at boiling point. Chunk Pickles.
 Use large slicing cucumbers for these pickles. Soak in strong brine for three days. Drain from brine and soak in clear water for three days. Simmer in weak vinegar for two hours. A small lump of alum should be added to the vinegar. Cut cucumbers in pieces convenient for serving. Put pickles in jar and pour over the following mixture:
 One ounce stick cinnamon, 1 ounce whole cloves, ounce whole allspice, pounds brown sugar, 2 pints vinegar. Bring to boiling point and pour over cucumbers. Drain off vinegar and heat to boiling point three mornings Cover with a big plate and keep in a dark, cool place.
 Sweet Pickles
 Wash small cucumbers and wipe with a cloth. Make a brine strong enough to hold up an egg and let the cucumbers stand in this brine over night In the morning drain and wash in Llear water. Add enough vinegar to fresh water to give the water a vinegarish taste. It depends on the strength of the vinegar as to f0 of hn cumbers heat in this solution until they whiten. Pack in quart jars, putting small pieces of horseradish in with the cucumbers. Make a sweet vinegar of 2 cups of sugar to 4 cups of vinegar, teaspoons whole cloves, 2 teaspoons whole allspice, 4 tea spoons stick cinnamon broken in small pieces, teaspoons celery seed. Bring ,A tci1 and pour over cucum- berS, then seal.
