the arms conference. The second
was the selection OF Senator Lodge,
chairman OF the Senate foreign re-

treaty to the conference and make a
speech about II.
Lodges speech was made to the
Senate quite as much as to the con-
ference and its guests. He opened
the ratification fight before any OF
his Senate colleagues could voice
criticism. He answered expected
criticisms when he said the treaty
did not provide for force and would
permit purely democratic questions
to be submitted to international dis
cussions. That was to meet the
charge that under the treaty Japan
would be able to throw the question
OF immigration into a four power
conference.

YOU'RE LOPSIDED; DID
YOU KNOW 1T?

There is scarcely a man or
woman who has not one
shoulder a little lower than
the other. The low shoulder
is generally the right. for the
droop is caused by using one
hand and arm more than the
other. Usually the muscles of
the right side of the body are
better developed than those of
the left; but. curiously enough
the left foot is often larger
than the right.
AS a rule, the right eye is
better than the left, while IL
we wish to catch an indistinct
sound. It is always the right
ear that we turn towards it.
This neglect OF the left side
has made it less robust than
the right. Diseases which af-
feet the ears. eyes, nose, or
legs occur far more frequently
on the weak left side than on
the more developed right.

"I saw enough and heard enough

ing the past two months to be frankly

the commonsense application or
these fundamentals of beauty and

is often misunderstood and misin-

good taste and becomingness to the

hancing the beauty of women gives
it an undesirable importance.
Let me tell you. mon enfant. that
the admired women in Paris and
London and every place I went were
wearing corsets of some kind, JUS,

man is doing. But each individual
woman found her own individual

mankind or suspicious womankind
quite certain that she had them on.

Mother suicide
Chinese Princess Kills Her

Over Lads Marriage
YEARS OLD PLOT
ALSO Is HINTED
BY VIM. PHILIP srnIs.

Written Expressly for NEA Service
WASHINGTON-One more amaz-
ing chapter must be added to the
international intrigue to put the
deposed Boy Emperor back on the
throne OF China.
Despite powerful efforts to keep
the tragedy a secret, it is now
known that Princess Chun. the lads
mother. did not die a natural death
as stated. but committed suicide
after a scene between herself and
the empress dowager
Through q friend in Peking I
have just come into possession OF
the strange details.
The story throws into vivid relief
the morbid atmosphere out OF which
certain British. Japanese and Chi
nese plotters would lift their candi-
date to the dragon throne.
For more than a year these inter-
national schemers have been pro-
noting a match between the boy
emperor Hsuan Tung, now II, and
the young daughter OF Hsu Shih-
chang. president OF China.
They believe the marriage OF the
Manchu emperor" and the Chinese
girl would please the southern Chi
nese and thus remove the objections
to a restoration.
The empress dowager according
TO my informant. is an ardent sup
porter Of this match. The boy em-
peror's mother. the Princess Chun.
was just as ardently against II. She
preferred her great niece-daughter
OF her nephew and the boys first
cousin-instead.

said. does not want TO marry either

The Lord OF Ten Thousand
, Years" as the lad is called sided
with his mother and was willing e
take his first cousin TO wed instead
: OF either his aunt or the daughter
, OF President Hsu.
The empress dowager was furious
It is said. and called the boys moth
er on the carpet. The young "em'
peror" objected and took his moth
ers part.

The agreement will put China on
surer footing than ever before IN
modern times. The binding together
OF all powers viii be guarantee for
