Special Committee.

Ohaka, Japan, June 27.-The Os-
aka chamber Of commerce has ap-
pointed q special committee to
make thorough study of the Ques-
ton Of international armament re-
striction.
A motion to strive Immediately
to bring an armament agreement
into being was refused adoption.
In supporting this motion, Tetsu-
jiro Satoni declared untimed ex-
pansion of ornaments, such as now
is going on, not only involves huge
expenditure claiming the greattr
part Of the taxes, but is calculated
to deepen the suspicion Of neigh
boring countries regarding Japan's
motives.
Expansion @Regrettable."
This, he said, was regrettable in
the future interests of the state.
He added:
"In the United States, the Borah
resolution urging the restriction of
armaments has been accepted by
the senate. In view Of the disas-
ters which the expansion Of arma-
| ments is producing on the various
powers at present, financially and
otherwise, it is important that the
present opportunity should be util-
ICED by use to memorializes the gov
ernment, urging it to make earnest
efforts in the direction Of reduction
of armaments, in consonance with
the spirit Of the League Of Ma
tionh."

mier Lloyd Georges invitation to
come to London for q conference
with the government and Premier
Craig of Ulster, designed to bring
about a settlement of the Irish
problem, is expressed in the ma
jority Of reports reaching this city
from Dublin.
British Plea Is Sensation.
All reports agree that Lloyd
Georges invitation caused a pro-
found sensation in Dublin and that
the question whether de Valera
would accept was the subject OF
universal speculation.
Those predicting that de Valera
will accept are generally agreed
that he probably will attach sharp
conditions to his acceptance, one
being that more binding guarantees
than we're contained in Lloyd
Georges letter must be given re-
garding the safe conduct Of certain
of his colleagues whom de Valera
may wish to have accompany him.
Refusal Disastrous.
In the event that de Valera re.
fuses the premier's invitation it is
generally supposed that the Brit.
ish government will make energetic
preparations for vigorous cam
paign to suppress Sim Fein activi.

Chicago Will Build
Five Mile Parkunas-
IntoLake Michigan

Chicago, July 30-Blocked from
the lake along more than half its
south side, Chicago has started work
to jump the intervening railroad
tracks by building a five mile park
way out in the lake.
This is to run from 18th street to
55th street, connecting downtown
lake front improvement with Jack
son Park, and adding the missing
link of a 40 mile drive running along
or within stones throw of Lake
Michigan.
A start is being made this summer
on the initial film on the present
shore line and on a necessary break
water. 1t is hoped to complete the
first part of the shore fill before the
year runs out. This will eventually
add strip of land about 600 feet
wide and five miles long beyond the
railroad tracks. The made land will
be converted into a park.

Ieet from the present shore line. Its
east side will give Chicagoans the
uninterrupted view of the lake on
the south that they have long wished
for. Its side toward the city will
enclose long lagoon furnishing an
admirable course for regattas. 1t
will be 600 feet wide.
At intervals along the outer shore
line bathing beaches will be built,
with the purest water obtainable, ev-
ter free from any shore wash.
The cost of the entire project is
estimated at around $40,000,000.
Work is being started under an mi
tial $S,O0O,OOO bond issue already
voted.
The undertaking is part of the
Chicago. plan, drawn up in 1908 and
promoted since then by the Chicago
Plan Commission which is support

British Industry
Blossoms Under
Coal Strike D~~~>
w., As,Ocinted Pressl

yon5on. LILY 3O-Settlement OF
col strike, after more than
months idleness, the return of
on operatives to work and the
LAST minute agreement in the engi-
neering industry have completely
transf rmed the business, industrial
and economic aspect of Great Bri-
tain, says the American Chamber of
Commerce in its official monthly
summary of trade.
Wage reductions have now been
effected in practically all important
industries including coal, cotton,
wooden, road transport, tramways,
gasworks, engineers and railway
men. The cost of living, meanwhile,
continues to fall according to official
figures. During June the index fig
ure fell from 1913 to 119, decline of
nine points.
The bank rate has been suddenly
reduced to 6 per cent. This is be-
Geved to be due to action of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank of New York
which reduced its discount rate to
six percent. The policies of the
Bank of England and the Federal
Reserve Bank have run on parallel
lines for some time.
The British government will give
a grant of 100000 to foster cot
zon growing in the British Empire.
This will replace the former promise
vi s250,000 year for five years. The
grant will come out of the profit
made in marketing Egyptian cotton

September 80 has been fixed as the

eiated exchange section, a duty of
500 percent win be necessary in some

SCISSORS HANDY IN KITCHEN
Rather Long List of Purposes for
Which Little Implement May
Be Put to Good Use.

Medium sized scissors hanging in a
convenient place in the kitchen are a
valuable help. Here are some of the
purposes for which they will be found
useful, according to workers in the
experimental kitchen in the United
States Department of Agriculture.
For cutting cold meat into cubes.
For cutting celery or green pep
pers into small pieces for pickles or
salads.
For shredding cabbage or lettuce.
For cutting UP raisins or dates.

After the scissors are used each
time they should be carefully washed

"Fraternity" Camps.

Ten little Indian girls from four
Oklahoma schools play amicably with
their white American sisters in I.
w. G. A. camp at Tulsa, Okla. Or
ganized into ten Indian tribes with
a councillor for each, the campers gov
ern themselves and hold many pow
WOW over the camp fires. A pretty
ceremony took place recently when IL
Ia Jones, a full-blooded Greek Indian
girl, lighted the friendship fire" as
a token of friendship between the
two races. Five hundred Indian girls
are members of the Y. w. G. A, and
conduct the activities of their several
associations in ten Indian schools In
Oklahoma and New Mexico. Summer
camps form the meeting places for
these daughters of our first families
and the daughters Of later comer to
America. Miss Edith Dabb, who Ill
reefs the Y. w. G. A. work for Indian
girls. has lived for many years on the
reservations. Partly because OF the
esteem and confidence with which she
iy regarded by the tribes, she ranks
as an authority on all things Indian.
