Japan may be willing TO discuss what
she will do.
Of the Chinese question is to be
discussed at the conference" says
DR.. Matsunami, there Is no reason
why the Mexican question should be
withheld. Japan is not the only
country suffering from the disturbed
situation in Mexico.
The Panama Canal will be a fit
subject for discussion at the confer
ence. America declares that the
canal was opened for the benefit Of
the world at large, but no unbiased
observer will say that the canal is
being operated with special regard
for the welfare Of the world Why
does not Japan offer TO undertake
the task Of making the canal moro
international with regard 70 admin
istration? There is no reason why
it should not be internationalized
as the expressed purpose Of America
has been Observation-Disclosures
These questions should be settled
at The same time Of the conference.
Indeed. they should be settled first,
Since it IS the American government
that has called the conference.
Dr. Matsunami IS quoted IN the
Yamato, which is not one Of the
/ leading japanese newspapers, so his
views should not be taken too seri-
ously.

Some day when you shall older grow

The hurts will deeper sink than
those which scar your little

These cuts and bruises quickly heal.
but Time brings pain your al
ways feel,
And by and by your heart, My Lad,
will often heavy be.
So, play the game and be a man,
and bear your hurts the best you

Stand up and set your teeth and

NECESSARY

I've seen the world a little bit,
I've touched at ports a score,
And after what know IL It
want to know some more:
And though. as far as I can learn,
My homeland is the best,
The facts cannot quite discern
Until I've seen the rest.
They say the ladies here at home
Are finest Of the fine,
And yet. through other lands 1 roam
Lest in this heart of mine
A doubt might rise somehow TO break
The native maidens' thrall,
And TO avoid that sad mistake,
1 want TO see them all.
So, though I'm always on the move
And never still, in sooth,
It's just my eagerness to prove
The scientific truth:
And is that all the reason why
1 roam, a restless elf?
Well, since you ask, 1 won't deny
That 1 can't help myself.

htfloJobs
BY RERroN RRAIEY


The little job, the petty Job
That you and I must do.
The dull and humdrum drudgery
Which daily we go through;
There isn't any fun to II,
Nor any thrill or throb.
And yet the world Is made to move
BY just that kind of job
The splendid plan. the noble plan
That sets all hearts afire,
Is carried out by plodding men
Who drudge and who perspire;
Not theirs to know the glorious
dream,
Yet by toll they give
The vision Of the pioneers
Shall live and live and live.
The little Job. the petty job.
The job that's drab and slow,
Fashions the lordly palaces
And makes the empires grow;
The dreamer dreams, but still the
work
Is done by plodding mobs
That build the dull old world anew
by dull and dreary jobs.
