IDEAS IN SLEEVES
Arm Coverings Grow More Beau

When Properly Proportioned to lndI,
vldual Figure They Add Grace
and Charm to Wearer.

The sleeves on the later Partisan
creations are more notable even thnn
were the first ones seen. They seem
to grow more beautiful as time passes.
and the ideas that are conceived for
their adorument are really inspiring.
II has been so long since we have
seen elaborate sleeves that we are wei
coming them with even more enthu-
siasm than could have been expected
by those who created them In the he
ginning. Then when they are properly
proportioned TO the individual figure
they do add 20 much of grace and
charm to the wearer that they cannot

On n French gown that Is otherwise
quite plain and unadorned there are

AID is PLEDGED TO SUPPORT OF

APPLIES TO FUTURE
ADOPTION OF PLAN FOLLOWS
TWo-HoUR DEBATE ON PA
cIFIc QUESTION.
cw,.,.ru Newspaper uuloa Ns-. s,ris,J

Washin gton.-A joint declaration OF
policy toward China, based on terri
torial and administrative integrity,
economic opportunity, AN enforced
open door" and abolition of special
rights" has been agreed on by ma
tions represented In the arms confer
ence.
The first definite agreement to come
out of the conference, the declaration
touches In general terms most of the
principles for which China asked in
her bill of rights hut does not pro-
vide in detail for the settlement Of
the specific problems with which she
is confronted.
Elihu Root of the American delega-
ton, proposed the declnratory resolu-
tion. During the two hours of debate
born Japan and China asked many
questions as to possible application OF
the suggested principles 10 specific
problems, while all other nations took
less active part.
Perfect satisfaction with the res
olution was expressed by Admiral ka-
to, head Of the japanese delegation,
although he declined TO suggest what
changes the agreement might lead TO
in the Far East. The Chinese also de-
clared themselves gratfied at the de-
velopment, and the delegations Of the
other nations generally voiced the view
that the agreement was a good start
toward agreement ON the most import
ant of the Far Eastern problems.
The two features Of the declaration
attracting widest attention were the
clause approving administrative in
tegrity" for China and that under
which the powers agreed not to seek
special rights within China.
Previous declarations of policy re.
garding Chinese integrity have
stopped with territorial integrity -
commonly construed as much mar.
rover term than administrative integ
rity." The special rights" agreement
was considered generally a direct con
travention of the policy of spheres OF
influence

TO HAVE HYGIENIC SHELVES
Enamel Instead OF Paper Better for
Home Use, Experts on House
hold Science Say

Never use shelf paper on kitchen or
any other sort of shelves. Experts on
household science say 1t is filth

tions to insects to ihhablt your closets.
The finest possible way to finish
shelves is to paint them and then An
ish with Il coat of flannel This gives
them hard, smooth finish, which can
be wiped off with a damp cloth when
necessary.
For n more decorative effect than
