day by the fun body of delegates sit
ting as a committee Of the whole. on
tfla Ear East, is expected to find its
chief task in an attempted rearrange-
ment with the customs regulations
which for many years have Kept
China from imposing a duty of more
than five per cent. on her imports.
In addition, there is expected to be
an inquiry into the various interna-
tional agreements by which certain
specified items of the republics tax
returns must be turned over immedi-
atclv for payment of foreign obliga-
tions.
MI of these restrictions. the Chin
csc declare thave resulted in such a
curtailment of national revenues as
to make economic progress impos-
sible. Since the conference began,
tn Chinese delegates have emphas-
lied the tariff autonomy principle as
one of the most important she wish

days discussions at the executive
committee meeting that this view
had met with much sympathy among
the other delegations.
The subcommittee whose mem
bership is yet to be announced. was
authorized at the suggestion of Sena-
tor Underwood of the American dele
CATION, and he generally is expected
to become the American member of
the new body.
Although the delegates have not
yet taken up some of the most trou-
blesome questions in. the Far East
ern situation, the progress made
thus far was described in official
quarters tonight as highly encourag
ing. So rapidly and smoothly have
the negotiations moved thus far that
some of those connected with the
American delegation, who at first
thought definite agreements unlikely,
now are predicting that the confer
ence will go along way toward clear
ing up the whole Far Eastern tangle.
The probable procedure of the
conference with reference to Chinese
and other Far, Eastern and Pacific
questions was forecast today in
authoritative quarters. The Root
resolution, adopted yesterday by the
Far Eastern committee of the whole
together with any adopted in the
future, it was said, would be brought
before a plenary session Of the open
conference for final discussion and
adoption, other resolutions on pacific
and Far Eastern questions are said
to be in prospect.

Ewes and Lighting.

No one of our five special senses
needs to be more carefully protected
than that Of sight. Throughout prac-
tically all of our waking hours the
ewes are on duty; contributing to our
endowment, acquiring knowledge and
protecting us from pitfalls and dan
gers. No wonder, with the constantly
changing focus for near and distant
objects, that the eye is subjected to
considerable strain. This is true un-
der ideal conditions of lighting and
visual hygiene and is aggravated I'M
der the conditions that only too FREE
quently exist.
IT has been estimated that at least
one fourth of the population is more
or less handicapped by some defect
of the eyes. Among the school popula-
ton from 10 to 80 per cent need
glasses. The defects requiring this cor
rection are near sightedness emyopia),
tism and squint.
The shape of the orbit, or bony
socket of the eye, is probably the chief
factor in the production of near sight.
and an excessive amount of near work
in schools increases the tendency.
Therefore, though the schools cannot
be said to be the underlying cause
of a child's near sightedness, bad
school hygiene will undoubtedly aggra-
vate the condition existing. Anything
which causes a pupil to hold his book
too near the eyes, or to assume a
stopping psition while at work in a
school, as too fine print insufficient
light, or unsuitable desk or chair,
may result in the development of a
more serious degree Of near sighted
ness. An excessive amount of near
work will cause strain in even a nor
NAL eye.
A slight degree of far sight is nor
NAL in young children and need cause
no special concern other than to
avoid overmuch near work Marked
farsightedness, however, is one of the
most serious causes of eye strain, and
if not corrected may lead TO very harm

GERMANY FACES
YEAR WITH HOPE
r.,,4o,. EAGERLY Look Forward TO
Peace Relations With
America.

RERIIN, Dec. 3I.-1The feature OF
Cer1ngny's international relations
which Is arousing keen interest on
the opening of the New Year Is the
prospective early peace with the
limited States. Public opinion views
the coming OF peace as one OF the
few agreeable aftermaths of. the war.
This As partly because there never
was a pronounced feeling Of hos
tllity to America. There also is
will not present staggering bills for
indemnities and that commercial rela-
lions with the United States will be
resumed on a large and generous
scale.
A spring influx OF American tour
lists also Is one of the comfortable
speculations INDUCED in as a natural
result OF the recent American and
German shipping agreements.
Germany enters the New Year with
a growing sense OF the gravity OF her
position under the treaty OF Versailles
and OF the immensity OF the cost she
IL called on 20 pay for a lost world
war. Another prominent manifesto
steady drift away from political eco
nomic radlcallsm so that no matter
how the treaty is modified or changed
in the near future Germany is re-
signed TO her inevitable lot and is
seeking 70 meet 1t by an intensified
tion OF effort and Of exploitation
throughout her wide field OF indus
tries aud resources.
] While tho spectre OF bolshevism
continues TO cast a sinister shadow
across the east Prussian frontier
German prophets of Russian commun-
ism are finding dwindling favor among
the rank and file of the German pro-
ietariat. That this is the actual con-
dition In Germany today in the face
of the fact that the Moscow govern
ment succeeded in reinforcing Itself
at homo Is received as proof OF ia
miliar theories that, given food and
stabilized economic and political con
ditions. the German working man can
not be won over to utopian expert
ments.
Germany enters the New Year with
a national debt which viii far ex-
coed 100000, 100000 arks by April 1

DREAM OF STARDOM
RUDELY SHATTERED
international Picture Corporation Is
Halted by Post Office In
spectors

KANSAS CITY, Jan. dreams
of becoming cinema stars are being
shattered today in the minds of scores
of girls throughout the middle west
as a result of the bursting of an all
legged promotion bubble here known as
the International Pictures Corporation
The scheme according TO federal Of
ficers was simple, an advertisement
placed in an eastern theatrical maya
zine asked for chorus girls and leads
The answers came quickly and then
on beautifully engraved stationery the
applicants were told a tale of q trip
to California, chartered yacht that
was to sail the South Seas, drop an
Choir at Egypt and cruise European
waters. The only requisite was de-
post of $50 to keep away curiosity
seekers"
The money came with answers such
as the following:
Il am five feet four, and very pref
ty. Enclosed is $50.
Then along came the agents of the
postoffice department and spoiled the
plan. Hubert Settles and his wife are
under arrest and postoffice Inspectors
saw they have scores of letter from
girls ambitious to be screen heroines
end also the engraved replies
