JAPANESE PUT
WRIGHT WRONG
Translation of Oriental Appeal to
Keep Chinese From Hawaii
Discredits Editor.

Washington, Aug. A transla-
ton of a Japanese appeal for funds
to send representatives of American
organized labor to Washington to
protest against temporary adrnis-
sion of Chinese coolies to Hawaii,
published in the Labor Review,
Honolulu. was placed in the house
immigration committee record to-
day by Chairman Johnson. 1t was
sufficient, MIR. Johnson said, to dis
credit the testimony of George w.
Wright, editor of the Review, and
president of the Central Labor
Council OF Honolulu, concerning
concerning agricultural labor con-
ditions on the island
Previous testimony had shown
that Wright and Wilmot Chiffon,
treasurer of the union had been
sent here on funds supplied in part
Dy the Japanese in the islands.
We believe, the secretary of la
Dor is standing on one side and if
such bill passes congress he will
never put such a program into prac-
. tice," the translation said. As TO
the capability of Wright and Chill
ton. who are are always our
friends" it added:
As the situation of the csoIie bill |
does not allow us to hold optimistic
feeling, We are sending Wright and
chiffon as The representatives of
central Labor Council to present
evlaences of facts to the Washing /,
ton authorities to block the treach-
erous plot of importing coolie la
Dor. The expense of sending dele
gates is betrayed by raising money
rom every organization as well as
from persons who be-
ong to our class. We hope as MANY
persons as DoesihIe will contribute ;,

Month Deficit.

The treasury secretary told% the
committee that actual expenditures
for the first full month of this fis-
cal year indicated that unless there
was ian extraordinary new effort
to reach expenditures" the estimate
which the treasury had presented
might be regarded as conserva-
tive" Ordinary expenditures for
July, he said, amounted to about
1922, 900 600 against 1907 900, 900 for
July 1921, while the current deficit
last month was s113,009,00o as
against $4,000, 900 in the same
month a year ago.
An analysis OF the principanitems
of expenditure for July, 1921" the
secretary continued, shows that
SIS, 600, eco was on account of: the
war department, $50 100000 on ac-
count OF the navy, and $32, 100000
on account of the shipping board.
II expenditures are to continue at
like these figures, the egti-
mates will be greatly exceeded"

EF you are planning to make Moth E CT a Christmas gift, and must be E careful of your pennies, why not B make a dainty sewing chest for her work table? Six empty match boxes, all the same size. a piece of silk or cloth, some paste and 8 brush will make the chest. From the material cut a dozen little pieces just big enough to cover the end of the box. and after you have removed the box from it's cover, paste one of the little pieces over each end of it. Do this to each of the six boxes and when the paste has dried return the box to its cover and stand them two by two, one above the other, with paste between them.
 Next. cut from the material a piece just the width of the chest from front to back, and be sure that this piece is long enough to go all the way around the chest with one end long enough to overlap the other. The best way to get this lohg piece around your boxes so that there will be no wrinkles in 1t. Is to lay it out flat upon a table and apply the paste to it. Then put

 ''Ji1n,'' he said, in a low quick voice. s'the herd is in sight-aI huddled near the barb-wire and the mad stall lion is capering around near-ou our side of the wire. I'll drop the tree and come for it later. Have you got my gum"
 "Your gun?" repeated Jim, stupidly-

 "I'n go,". said Jim, and handed the ax to John.

the chest on her work table it will be well for her to know just what each drawer contains Let us see, just what you think she will want to keep in the different drawers. There should be one for hooks and one for eyes: a drawer for bone buttons and a drawer for cloth buttons; a drawer for pins and drawer for needles. Let us next mark the drawers for their contents. In the centre of the upper left hand drawer sew. with small stitches, a hook. and in the centre of the drawer next to it sew an eye. It will be easy to tell what is inside of those drawers. On each of the other drawers sew a sample of what is to be kept within it: A bone button on one; a cloth button on another, a large pin on the next and a small paper of needles upon the last one.
 When it is completed pass a ribbon around the sides and tie bow in the middle of the top. If you like you can stick a spray of holly through the knot, and your handmade gift will look very Christmasy and pleasing tc Mother

this Is what he said:
 The custom of hanging up stockings on Christmas Eve comes to us from a land far across the Ocean-from Sunny Italy. In the city of Padua, long ago, good old Saint Nicholas used to go about the streets after dark and throw through the windows of the homes of the poor people long knitted purses, tied at both ends, and contain ing much needed coins. These purses were made of yarn. and when. united looked not unlike a footless stocking. Finally, as time went on, the poor people, hoping thus to remind the more fortunate of their needs, used to hang these empty purses out Of the windows on the night before Christ mas. so that gift might be placed in them. In the north country, where the weather Is cold at Christmas time the purses were hung by the chimney place in the hore that Saint Nicholas would drop his offering down the chimney. When the purses went out of fashion, stockings as the thing most like them were used in their stead and that is why we today still ob- serve the practice and the custom

the same wood as the furniture of the bed room or it may be made of red gum or other handsome wood and finished as an article complete in it. self. The block should be made and carefully squared, beveled for sand paper, the 1" holes bored for matches, and the block sandpapered ready for finishing. Make and fit the 5-16" back which may be shaped like the one in the sketch. or another may be de- signed and made taller if desired Bore a A" hole at and make the pin which holds the watch of the same kind of wood; sandpaper the back ready for finishing and glue the pin in its place. Make a 5-16" bottom of a size which will leave a margin around about as indicated. the margin must appear uniform for the merit of such a piece consists in the accuracy of such details. Nail the back in it's place with l" brads, then the bottom.
 A very good way to finish a piece like either of the above after it has sheIlac, rub it down with o000 sand paper and polish with prepared wax. Four pieces of felt about the size of a dime may be cut from an old hat and glued to the under side of the bottom of the table set at the corners to pre- vent marring the tcp of the table upon which it rests.

There was no time for anything, ex- cept to try to save himself by flight. The animals rolling eye caught sight of the boy, and a shril1 cry came from his clenched teeth. Jim ran like a frightened rabbit. Loose boulders cov-
 cred with slippery snow kept him tripping and slipping. The stallion
 bumped himself and seemed to tobog- gan down to him, bringing along an
 avalanche of loose rocks and little
 trees. A tall fir, with an unusually thick trunk, stood near Jim. He placed
 his hands on it and as the mad brute
 bore down on him. he lodged around
 it. Round and round, this way and that, the boy dodged, keeping one
 hand on the friendly tree
 He had no time to wonder what
 John was doing, as every one of his wits had to be concentrated on his lodging. The crazy horse was slick enough when it came to assault and
 battery. He would gallop one way around the tree and then suddenly wheel around and go the other way, hoping to meet his victim. Click click! his teeth clamped the air sev- 1 eral times, so close to some part of Jim that the boy ached at the thought l of it. A horse usually takes the chuck | he bites clear out, you know. Each | time he missed, the beast uttered his ] loud shrill scream. Once he dashed himself at the tree, giving his head | a whack, after which he bit his own l shoulders and tore up the ground. Jim was panting from the excite ! ment and effort. He tried to keep his 1 head cool. but suddenly he slipped
 and fell, and before he could rise the l stallion dashed around the tree The | boy gasped: "John!" and tried to 1 get up, already feeling in his fnagina- 1 ton, the hoofs and rendfng teeth of 1 his enemy, when whir! something flew

FITS either go, or else do without & Christmas tree this year," argued Jim Chalmers
 ~ I'd rather do without a tree than lose you," said his sister, Cor ne1ia, who was grown-up and married. When you came here, you promised to mind me, and I don't want you to go to Buffalo Gulch until they catch the mad stallion. I should think you'd be afraid to go, after the way he killed the Emerson boy and bit Sam Gregory and trampled the Royces' co1lie."
 ''It was Sam Gregory who broke in the stallion, and he's a cruel fellow and deserved to be bitten. He's spoiled more than one good horse al- ready!" said Cornelia's husband. John. Besides I don't believe that horse is in the Gu1ch and, if you'I give your permission, I'll go with Jim and take a gun along.'
 Well" said Corne1ia. rather than have the Riddles disappointed, I'll give permission. but do be careful"
 She was anxious and rather cross, but her young brother and John started b1itheIy off over the snow covered ground, one with an ax and the other carrying 8 gun and a coil of rope.
 "Do you think the stallion is really mad, or just bad-tempered on ac- count of Sam's rough handling?'' asked Jim, as they crunched through the shallow snow.
 "Hard to say" replied the young man. CT suppose horses can go mad like people. or any other animal On the other hand. he may be just mean" "
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-12-09

''But Sis was foolish about our go- ing to the Gulch,'' said Jim. ''The mad stallion was seen last by the Forest Brook. and like as not he's somewhere near the fence on that side of the pasture. because they say, he still hangs around his old herd"
 Like as not" agreed John, but he kept his eyes open as they entered the woods.
 In the Gulch grew some beautiful fir-trees, some large, some small, but each quite perfect. The man and boy selected one to their taste, and John laid down his gun and took off his heavy coat lined with lambs wool.
 'Let me chop it." Jim urged, so, without picking up his gun, John passed the ax to his brother-in-law,

I1s Christmas Stocking

ID you ever wonder, as you fas- @ @tened your stocking on the man. E M Mtel-shelf why 1t was a stocking E% you were hanging, and not some. thing much bigger that would hold many more gifts? I used to wonder One Christmas Eve I went to my nurse with a large laundry bag and begged that might hang that up instead of a stocking, so that I might find 1t full of beautiful gifts in the morning.
 'Sure, it's bigger than old Saint Nick's bag, itself,'' she exclaim ed, would you be a selfish child on this Christmas Eve and keep all the lovely gifts for yourself?" and to my disap- pointment she put away the big bag and hung my tiny sock above the fire place. Now the question of why ] should hang up 8 stocking and not bag or a pillowcase or place before the chimney place a box or other re- ceptacIe bothered me quite little, and I determined to find out the reason for the custom. Full of my queries ap- preached my father after all the ex- citeraent of Christmas morning was over, and in answer to my questions

 The tooth brush holder may be made to suit @ family of any size by adding to or taking from the given vertical di- mensions l F for each member of the family, allowing perhaps one or two extra holes for guests.

Ft JUNYoR COOK
CRANBERRY SAUCE

Wash and pick over i pound @ot cranberries.
 Put into a saucepan and cover with 1 and F cupsfu1 of water.
 Cook till berries are tender which will be about 5 minutes.
 Add ? cupsful granulated sugar and cook very slowly for 20 minutes. Test by dropping a few drops from a spoon If sauce c1ings at the last drop, it is done; if not. cook a few minutes longer and test again. Gran berries scorch very easily so it is bet ter to cook the sauce longer than to risk burning.
 This sauce uses every bit of the berry, skin and all and is therefore both economical and wholesome. Try this sauce early in December so that you can make it perfectly for the Christmas dinner. It is served cold; in glass dish if possible as 1t is most attractive that way.
