Soviet Russia); the Germans, who are

ing that are spun to cloud vision. Whilst
one sees, with this cobwebby veil in the
way a great number Of things in which
American and British interests seem to
clash, IL one looks at them squarely and
fairly one realizes that in half a day half
dozen good and unprejudiced minds of both
nations could settle them easily. A splen-
did rule of international conduct may be
summed up in phrase Don't let US mis-
take our prejudices for our principles.
Il hear a good deal of criticism of Eng
land for her reported business deal with
Soviet Russia. In that connection l have
drawn most of my information from The
New York HERALD's foreign news, espe-
cially as 1t has dealt with Lenlnes spee.hes.
You are aware that before these appeared,
and II may be before they were made, Eng
land had signed trade compact with the
de facto Government of Russia. As Brit
ishers are not supposed to De dull in diplo-
macy II Is very likely that they knew what
Lenine was going to do, at least that's
fair assumption.
But what read in the American papers
about this move is a feeling of resentment
that England should take Russia's bloody
hand. This resentment Is coupled some
times with Incorrect statements Of fact The
main one being that there Is nothing to be
got out of Russia but gold. We can pass
that, as 1t has been decided that this gold,
If II comes into England, must show clean
hands in our courts. We may pass too.

Sir John Foresees Massacre
That Will Shock the World

What the Russian people might do in the

contented himself by saying that there
would be frightful reckoning to pay. In
his Judgment ii was hardly conceivable that
Lenine did not look forward 10 this punish

belief that they could still the former and

SHARK FISHING IS EXCITING
In Australia the Element Of Danger
Adds to Its Attraction for
the Sportsman.

Shark fishing is sport In Australia
that has found many devotees among
Englishmen because of the lure
Of danger. AS the native pacticed It,
there were times when the sharks
had all the fun, as in large numbers
they could transform the sport to
native hunting, remarks an exchange.
Fishermen are sometimes the victims
Of the vicious tiger sharks, most dan
gerous Of the species, with their
swift lunges through the water and
powerful jaws. They are hated and
feared with equal Intensity.
An English sportsman describes his
efforts to catch shark and his fail
ure after all his hooks were gone. The
shark would take the hook, allowing
himself to be drawn almost 10 the rock
where the sportsman stood. Then the
sharks sharp jaws would sewer the line
and he woud swim slowly about until
another hook could be dropped in. A
stout hook was attached to line by
chain, and with this the shark was
drawn half way out Of the water. Then
wave tossed him about and the line
passed through his Jaws, to be cut at
one slash. After this several hooks,
attached to brass line, were taken
by the shark, but could not hold him.

Parents Problems,

Parents, as intended by nature. are
the ultimate judges of their own sons,
declares Good Housekeeping. They
are the courts of last resort. They
are the guardians, with the double re-
sponsibility Of protection and guild
ance. They must not fail in the d.
rection Of growth. In order that per
sonal prejudice and constant contact
may not warp their attitudes, the boy
must become to them a laboratory
problem. He must be analysed to dis
cover his hereditary, physical, men
tai and environmental constituents.
His composition and the materials that
enter into II, his actions and reac-
tons, the thought-processes that go
into the creation of his mental be-
havior, the capitalization Of habits Of
doing. feeling, and acting-all must be
considered effectively, and controlled
during the devious process Of boy
formation.

SET HARD TASK FOR ARTIST
Work From Man Entrusted With
the Carving Of Jade.

The high standing Of jade is ne mod
ern thing. The primitive weights and
measures of the Chinese world were
computed from jade tubes, and the ear
lest bars or intervals of music known
to that nation were determined by hol-
low bamboo canes Of accurate length,
afterward made In jade tubes having
stops within to be pulled out at the will
of the player.
The Spaniards and the Mexicans
have as great respect for the stone as
the Chinese, and they make great use
of II. The Chinese value their Jade
carvings so highly that they cannot
often be prevailed upon to part with
them.
When an unusually large piece Of
jade is found in China, there is called
council Of artists to determine into
what shape it had best b. carved, as.
owing to its extreme hardness, the
form selected must follow somewhat
the outline indicated by the natural
formation of the specimen.
The artist chosen to perform the
delicate task is not altogether TO be
enyied. 1t is true that If he succeeds
he will be highly honored and re-
warded, but success depends upon his
work being approved after 1t has been
subjected to public criticism for
whole year. If, at the end of that
time, his work should be condemned,
his reputation as an artist is ir-
retrievably lost.
The task itself is no light one. With
a thin piece Of finely tempered brass
wire, the artist may work for a week
without having anything to show.
Twenty years have not been considered
too long for single piece OF carving.
