A FEW days ago, while chatting with a
~ British novelist, the drift of talk
n trailed out to the Pacific and lowered
over Japan. At once each man was
conscious Of q realignment of opinions The
American, with California, the Sandwich ISL
ands and the Philippines in snind, visioned
the yellow flag in waters to the north of the
equator. The Englishman saw it nearing the
coast Of Australia. There was moments
pause, and then he from Sussex on the Chan
mel said: After all, we must have common
purpose IN this and in all matters" And SO
the writer picked up the keynote for the open
ing of this story.
Can England and the United States come to
ground OF sympathy In outlook over the
problem of Japan? At our elbow is little

the hazy Pacific to the west coast of America,
we find no cause for apprehension in the
problem of Japan's dense population and her
side glances at California, Pitkin and other
writer's to the contrary We do discover
grounds for disquiet in her sly, opportunist
diplomacy, an employment of wit for one self

Conservative statistics indicate that belief in
this theory annually leads 10000 males pre-
maturely to the altar. Running temporarily
out of conversation while nesting cozily in
Gloucester hammock beneath an August moon,
the sublime victim falls back on the exciting
topic Of marriage, banking definitely on the
theory that the young lady he has just kissed
will have to turn him down at least once
After that, he feels confident that he can think
of some other line of conversation to fill out
the evening.
Not until he regains complete control of his
bewildered emotions does he comprehend the
true sequence of the lady's "No" to his pro-

nuptials until next December, she has re-

Dental Literature
1t is practically universal notion that
dentists have wretched-if any--literary
taste. This backhanded dig at an otherwise re-
spectacle profession arises from the fact that
the reading matter in the waiting room of a
dentists office is not all that it should be- A

lies usually make up the full collection. A
barber shop library is the only one ranking
lower than dentists.
With these bare premises to go on, it is
set down that literary appreciation and skill
at filling teeth are not to be found in the
same Individual
Well, know personally several dentists
who controvert the theory absolutely. One of
them has a monomania for Elizabethan liter
ature. In his private library he cherishes a
copy of nearly every book printed during
those prolific days. Another reads William
James, Chesterton and Tolstoy and confesses
openly that he prefers any one of them to

Canada. If his statement appears absurd. at
least, it gives a hashlight picture of the rapid
growth of the Dominion TO political signif-
canoe, and it demonstrates, especially with
the facts of the war behind us, the hold on
brltaln's overseas policies secured and held by
Canada, Australia, South Africa and New Zea-
land The spiders webs of ancient political
casulstry are not to be found in the clean par
ilamentary halls of the dominions.

Yet these same men, dentists as they are,
have their Offices filed with the traditional
literary junk Of their trade. They dare not
break convention and place a copy Of The At
antic Monthly on the table in the waiting
room. The innovation might frighten away
a single patient with $500 worth Of potential
bridgework waiting in his mouth. 1t is con-
tended that more than one ambitious youn,,
dental surgeon has been forced into profes-
sional bankruptcy through departures from
custom no less trivial.
But the innate literary capabilities of the
dentist should not be judged too hastily.
Anyway, not before taking a peek at his pri-
vate stock.
Shoemakers' Offspring
Along with the blanket supposition that
shoemakers children always go barefoot,
there follow other allied theories about bar
keepers never taking drink, candy counter
girls abstaining from sweets, sailors not being
able to swim, ministers failing to practice what
they preach and SO on.
These do well enough as paradoxes to make
humorous writing, but actually they waver
seriously from the facts in the case. For
time, shoemakers' children were the only per-
sons in the country who could afford TO wear
Shoes shortly after the Volstead act became
effective barkeepers and their friends were
doing practically all Of the drinking that was
being done; for sailors, candy counter

that sweeping statements cannot be made
about them.

SECOND BILL TO
 LICENSE SMOKES
Offered in the Senate Yester- day, After Governor McRae Had Vetoed First-Banking Bill Opposed.

Little Rock, Feb. 16.-A second bill looking to repeal of the anti-cigarette law in this state was introduced this afternoon in the Senate shortly after Governor McRae returned the first one with a veto message.
 The second bill conforms with Gov ernor McRae's suggestion that the license rates for sale of cigarettes should be doubled and has the assur- ance of the governor that if passed it will not be vetoed. The Senate banking committee to- day reported four important bills to the Senate, two with adverse reports and two with reports that they do pass.
 The committee recommended that the bank guaranty bill introduced by Senators McFarlin, Bone and others be defeated, and also returned an un- favorable report on Senator Collins bill which would require banks to keep on hand cash equal to 10 per cent of their deposits.

P0PGUJN TARIFF
 PASSES SENATE
Bitterly Fought Measure Has 20 Amendments-FOur Re- publicans Oppose and Nine Democrats Voted for it.

Washington, Feb. 15.-The Ford ney emergency tariff bill, with more than 20 amendments attached tonight passed the Senate.
 The vote was 43 to 30, several Democrats voting in favor of the bill and several Republicans in opposi- tion.
 Democratic senators supporting the House emergency tariff bill were in vited today by Senator Reed, Demo- crat, Missouri, to take seats on the Republican side of the Senate, "in the rear, where you belong" /
 The Missouri senator bitterly as- sailed the tariff measure as "the bu- caneering expedition which this Con- gress is about to undertake." Char acterizing the measure as "rob- bery," he said that Democratic mem bers were supporting it "because they can get part of the swag."
