THE DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE-By Frederic J. Haskn

ence meets. England will look with dread
upon any movement which would deprive
her, an island power, of the tremendous naval
force she now possesses. 1t is Unborn in the
British to regard their navy as the great
factor of British safety. But British taxes
are very heavy and British debts to America
are so huge that the representatives OF that
proud nation have not scrupled to suggest
the forgiveness of this debt by the United
States.
France, trained to the habit of thought
that her natural and hereditary enemy Ger
many, lies just over the border, smartlng
under cru1hing defeat, will make struggle
against giving up or materially reducing her
large standing army.
japan Plays Her Game
From Toxic the hints at obstruction of the
purposes of the conference are multiplying
at the mere invitation to take part in it.
First Japan wanted to know the exact scope
the discussions at the conference would
have, and did not want the Pacific question
brought in at all. This was in effect politely
refused, and Japan practically had to come
into the conference just the same.
Baron Sakatani, member of the Japanese
House of PEERS is credited with recent
interview bearing on the subject, some parts
of which are remarkable in that they throw
light on the sort of thing the Japanese
people are being given to read. He is cred
tied with saying that if the disarmament con-
ference reaches an impasse between Japan
and America it will be because each is sus-
picious of the others motives and intentions
with respect to China. 1t is limited even that
Japan might suspect America of imperial de-
signs of her own in the Far East. How
utterly ridiculous this is it is unnecessary
to say
The situation is not altogether without it's
lighter elements There is now in Washing
ton the representative Of the ruler Of one OF
the smaller nations to the north of India.
This ruler and his father before him have
been held virtually subject to England and
their nation under British domination
through the annual payment of large sum
to the ruler from the British treasury. This
payment was omitted last year, and the ruler
was so upset that he is seeking to establish
diplomatic relations" with the United
States.\ 1t means tina he wants America to
substitute him, in return for which America
presumably would get special treatment
which would be to her advantage.

DOROTHY DIX kS-EFFICIENCY
BY DOROTHY DIX

to do it. I should go to the best school that
l could find that taught the particular thing
I wanted to do, and learn all that they could
teach me about craftsmanship. You don't
expect a man to start out and be doctor,
or lawyer, or a civil engineer without hav
ing given single hours study to his profess
sion, but a woman thinks she can take a
flying leap from her own little hearthstone
into the midst of any business, and run it
by inspiration and without practical techni-
cal knowledge. Which is why most women
fail in their undertakings. A woman will
start boarding house and be sold up by the
sheriff, because she knew neither how to
cook, or serve meals, or how to buy the food.
But course in a domestic science school
would have taught her how to make a for
tune out of it.
A woman opens millinery shop, and
makes hats that look like ten cents worth Of
God-help-us. She goes bankrupt, but she
| could have gotten what price she liked for
creations that she could have learned how
to make in good technical school that spe-
cialized in hat making.
A girl takes three months course in
some rapid fire commercial school, and gets
ten dollars week for muddling up ledgers,
and turning out illspelled, illwritten letters
An eight or nine months course in a high
class commercial school would fit her to do
high class work, the kind of work for which
employers are glad to pay out good money.
It doesn't make a particle of difference
what kind of work a woman undertakes. She
will succeed in any line if she does good
work, and she will fail if she does poor work.
And you have to work just as hard doing
poor work. That is why it is so important to
be efficient, and that is why / urge every
woman to take the time, and spend the
money, to fit herself for the thing she is go
ing to do.
Why is one woman a plain cook and an
other chef? Why can one milliner get
$50 for hat another only IS? Why
does one girl stay cheap stenographer to
the end of the chapter while another becomes
highly priced private secretary? Why does
one clerk become buyer with semi-yearly
trip to Paris while another remains a shop
girl at the same old counter?
One is efficient and the other isn't One
has taken the trouble to learn how to do
her work properly, the other hasn't
So l urge the woman who has little
money to spend it in fitting herself for some
definite occupation. Learn how to do one
special thing superlatively well, and you
/ need not be afraid of failing. Efficiency and
success walk hand in hand the world over.
It's the ignorant, the amateurs, the bum
glers who fail.

a good English education and some little
