Memories of Old Davs
In This Paper Ten Years
Ago Today

For the purpose of ascertSining if
the board of public works or council
could force the removal of billboards
from the business district of the city,
a committee composed of Clifford
Price and Raymond Mather, repre-
senting the Young Mems Business
club, appeared before the board. May
or Zimmerman informed them that
any property owner could erect or
allow hillboards to be erected on his
own premises.
However, upon motion of the mayor
the board decided to cooperate with
the Y. NJ. B. C. committee and would
discuss the matter with the owners
of the ground upon which the offend
ing billboards and large signs had
been erected. The billboards at Tenth
and Main streets were very unsightly
and were the main offenders, which
the committee wanted moved.

to be seen how much the United States
can win for China in the committees
which will decide the details of her
status. For the United States stands
now, as she has always stood, as the
champion and defender of China. In
the past her defense has been inef-
fectual. She proclaimed the open-door
principle, and then allowed Japan and
all of the principal powers to extract
concessions from the Chinese govern
ment, make agreements about China
and establish spheres of influence,
which have made the open door policy
a laughing-stock. Meantime, Ameri-
can capital has not been altogether
behind in exploiting China by the con-
cession method.
So far our professions of high disfn-
terested friendship for China have
amounted to the announcement of a.
policy which we could not enforce,
ana few small favors such as not
collecting the Boxer indemnity.
The conference, so far, has done
little to remedy this situation, but It
has opened the way for US. As long as
the Anglo-Japanese alliance lasted, we
were poWerless in China. Now that is
out or the way. In addition, the DOW
ers have agreed to a rehabilitation
OF all of the concessions and spheres
OF influence they hold in China. The

Ripping RHYMES
MELANCHOLY,
BY Walt Mason

The winter days are colder than any
days should be; in one week I grow
older than should grow in three; oh.
sorrow seems my potion, I'm full of
sad emotion while rubbing Jimpson's
lotion upon my starboard knee. I see
the young ones playing and whooping
with a will; they're skating and
they're sleighing upon the icy hill; ali,
would that I could follow and in the
snowdrifts wallow! but sit here and
swallow Doc Ginger's Duplex Pills.
Play on, oh youthful friskers, your
youth will not endure! Soon you'll
be wearing whiskers and grief will
dog your spoor; like you | once was
playing, adown the hillside sleighing:
and now you see me spraying my
limbs with SPAWN Cure Once I was
young and stalwart, no blemish did I
own, except 4 rather small wart fer
ninst my collar bone; but youthful
years go flying, and now you see ne
signing, consuming pills and trying
to can the dotard's groan. My sorrow
seems fixture, in vain I try to smile.
while taking Johnson's Mixture of Tar
and Castor lie; I'm old and tired and
gloomy, my eyes are weak and rheumy
and pharmacists come to me and bear
away my pile. But when the clouds
are parted, and sunshine's streaming
through, | won't be broken-hearted,
| won't be sad and blue; it's when the
heavens clear up you see the old boys
cheer up; and now for Jenkins Syrup
of Cockleburs and Glue.

President finds satisfactory progress developing.
This is healthful We are building along the in
evitable right lines. General exceptional pros
perity will be the result, it is safe to say, now
within twelvemonth.
For instance, new construction throughout
the country in the first ten months of the pres
ent year almost equals the whole of the con-
struction of last year, according to survey by
the Chamber of Commerce of the United States,
this week made public.
'Forty-four large cities report $603, 100000
in new construction during the ten-month period,
and this sum only partly represents the aggre-
gate cost if figured to date, including the facts
in semi-annual and quarterly reports.
"That labor conditions are improving gener-
ally throughout the country also is evident from
the reports made by great employing firms in
the paper, lumber, iron, steel and auto factories
The department of labor estimates this increase
as substantial and steady.
''The lessons of cooperation and harmony are
being learned. Faith and confidence are driving
out pessimism and distrust Great things are
going forward in the interests of humanity.
Especially in America are we carrying on in the
spirit of unfaltering faith in the principles of
national and international righteousness"

How the Pact Was Made
BY FREDERICK ]. HAskIN

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. ia
shroud in which to bury the Anglo
Japanese alliance" is the way one
acute observer characterizes the four
power pact which now stands as the
great achievement of the conference.
1t is said by those who know the
inside workings of the conference to
represent real triumph for American
diplomacy. Not that a real triumph
was difficult in the circumstances.
| The American delegation had all of
the best cards in its hands and in
order TO win it's chief detectives it
had but to use ordinary horse sense
and stand firm. That is a good deal
more than American diplomacy has
generally done.
That the four-power pact does rep
resent long step toward the accom-
pllshment of the chief American OBJ
Jectiyes in the conference seems to
be the consensus of the best-informed
opinion. The only unfavorable opinion
comes from Certai irreconcilables in
the senate, who are opposed to any
form Of agreement with foreign ma
tons.
The old phrase "entangling alliance"
Will not apply to this new agreement,
however, for it is in no sense an al
lance. 1t does not bind US, or seek
to bind US, to any action. offensive
or defensive, nor does it bind any of
the other contracting parties to such
action. 1t is merely an agreement to
talk things over in case of trouble,
and further statement that the in
sular possessions of the powers con-
cerned shall remain as they are. This
means for us chiefly that our position
in the Philippines is not to be a mat
ter of dispute.
The agreement is thus seen. on its
positive side, to amount to very little.
1t expresses an intention to talk things

| over in a pacific spirit and that is
about all. The real significance of
! the instrument is that it completely
supersedes the Anglo-Japanese al
! lance and that it signifies the &C.
qulescence of those two powers in the
American point of view.
The British Plan
1t seems to be generally recognized
now that the British delegation came
to the conference to perpetuate the
Anglo-Japanese alliance if it could do
so without antagonizing the United
! States. Japan, of course, came with
/ the intention of keeping the alliance
in effect if possible. Japan had every
thing to gain by the alliance and
everything to lose by its abrogation.
! The advantages of the alliance to
Great Britain were not so obvious.
1t was suggested in a previous Has
kin letter that perhaps the chief rea-
son why Britain wanted the alliance
was because she shared with Japan
desire to check the spread of republi-
can ideals in the Orient. 1t has also
been pointed out that for a great many
years the gist of the diplomacy of
Great Britain, as the strongest sea-
power, has been to combine with the
third-strongest against the second
strongest.
Whatever the motive may have
been, British press propaganda in the
early stages of the conference was all
for renewal of the alliance. It is
said that this campaign was stopped
when the Americans served notice on
the British that the renewal of the
alliance would on no account be toll
Grated. Lloyd George is said to have
been the one who made the sudden
agreement of the delegates, after a
a long stalemate, possible. He is said
to have cabled the British delegation
to abandon all efforts either for a re-
newal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance,
or for at ripartite alliance including
the United States. The present four
power pact was then quickly arranged
1t represents an explicit recognition
on the part of Great Britain that the
American point of view must prevail
in the Pacific
The agreement does not touch the
question of China. It therefore leaves
the Chinese question as the chief re-
naming question before the confer
ence, and the only bone of contention.

@. What Is the origin of the name
holly? S. L. a.
A. The name holly is said to be de-
rived from the use of the branches
and berries to decorate churches at
Christmas time, from which the tree
was called holy tree.
Q. Is there an underground pass
age from the Capitol TO the White
House? F. B.
A. The Capitol and White House
are one mile apart, and are not con-
nected by underground passage. The
house and senate office buildings and
the library of congress are connected
with the Capitol by subways.
@. Is the climate OF Sitka, the cap
ital of Alaska, very severe? E. K. B.
A. The capital of Alaska was NOV
ed from Sitka to Juneau in 1906. In
spite of its northern latitude, the CHM
ate of Sitka is mild, the average tenn
perature OF December being 80 degree
farenite and Of August, Sc degrees
farenhite.
@. How Is the depth of the ocean
measured? S. F.
A. The navy department says that
the depth Of the ocean is measured
by long thin wire which is wound on
a drum so that when wound up 1t IS
like the thread on a spool. At the end
of this wire which is lowered a heavy
leaden weight is attached. The ship
must be perfectly still so that the
wire will go direct to the bottom and
not at an angle. The leaden weight
pulls the wire off the spool until 1t
hits the bottom. There is a counter
arrangement on the spool which
shows the number of times the
lengths of the wire have been taken
off the spool and thus indicates the
entire length of wire which has des-
cended. In this way the depth of the
ocean at that point is ascertained.
O. Where did the Indian get his
idea of a happy hunting ground and
Great Spirit who rules the world? I.
H. z.
A. Records do not exist that tell
when the Indians conceived this idea
of religion. They had their religion
before the white men discovered this
hemisphere. 1t deals with an Al
mighty, a hereafter, and has many
eimilarities to the old Jewish religion.
They have a legend Of the deluge.
Some authors say that the Indians are
connected with the Ten Lost Tribes
of Israel.

No. "a Penny Penetrates Sleeve

To push penny right through the
coat sleeve may sound impossible, but
1t is really quite easy to do-if you have
an extra penny. The duplicate is slipped
between the buttons on the outside of
the coat sleeve. That part of the sleeve
is carefully kept from view. Another
penny is deliberately dropped down in
to the sleeve. Then the other hand
reaches in back and pretends to draw
the coin through, really securing the
duplicate and bringing it out for in
spection. No hole can be found in the
cloth, which will cause some surprise.
