sIon Of the Zodiac.

The Zodiac is n belt of sky ex-
tending eight degrees on each side of
the ecliptic and comprising the ap-
parent paths Of the sun, moon and
principal planets. 1t is divided into
10 signs of 30 degrees each, the names
of which are Aries. Taurus, Gemini,
Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio,
Sagittarlus, Capricornus, Aquarius and
Pisces. The first six are north Of the
equator, the last six south of IT. The
six Ascending" signs are those from
Capricornus to Gemini inclusive, in
which the sun is moving northward I;
the six descending signs, those in
traverslng which It continually in
creases its north polar distance. The
series begins with the vernal equinox
and shifts through procession. The
Zodiac Is OF immemorial antiquity. It
was invented in Babylonia. essentially
as we know 1t, not later, and probably
much earlier, than 1000 b. G. The
Greeks adopted 1t about the Sixth
century Is. G. and transmitted II west
ward. The Zodlacal symbols came In.
to use about the Tenth century.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never

Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root 10
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even suspect
that they nave the disease.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send

Washington Conference Goes
Far Toward Establishing Real
Open Door in China.
AGREEMENT BLOW To JAPAN
Foreign Policy Of New French Gov
eminent Stated by Premier Poin-
care-irish Free State Formally
Observation-Disclosures General
Hays Announces Coming
Resignation.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD

G TRONGLY backed by the British
~ and Italian delegations to the
Washington conference, Secretary
Hughes and his American colleagues
last week pushed far toward compile
tion of their plans for the establish
ment and maintenance of a real open
door" in China. In effect, 1t was a big
week for China and a rather unpleas-
ant one for Japan.
Mr.. Hughes submitted to the Far
Eastern committee a set of resolutions
by which the powers in the conference,
other than China, agree:
"(a) Not to seek or to support their
nationals ih' seeking any arrangement
which might purport to establish in
favor of their interests any general
superiority of rights with respect to
commercial or economic development
IN n designated region of China
"(b) Not to seek or to support their
nationals in seeking any such monop-
oily or preference as would deprive
other nationals of the right of under
taking any legitimate trade or industry
in China or of participating with the
Chinese government. or with n pro-
vincial government, in any category of
public enterprise, or which by reason
of its scope, duration. or geographical
practical application of the principle of
equal opportunity"
China, for Its part. declares its en-
tention Of being guided by the same
principles In dealing with applications
for economic rights and privileges
from governments and nationals OF all
foreign countries whether parties to
that agreement or not.
Provision is made for the establish
ing of an International board to which
questions of compliance with the open
door principle may be referred for in
vestigation and report. AS first draft
ed, the resolutions made this appllca-
BILE to existing concessions. France OBJ
jected TO this and the Japanese,
though accepting the plan "in princi-
pie" were plainly nervous and wor-
ried and asked for time to study the
text. In the interest of speedy action
the Objectionable clause was with
drawn. and %thereupOn the plan was
given unanimous approval by the
committee. The Americans did not
look on this as a defeat, for. under
their construction of the resolutions,
IL will still be possible to bring before
the international commission any open
door question involving existing o n
cessions, including the privileges
which Japan by her notorious 81 de-
mands forced Chlnn to concede in 1915.

A THOUGH Poincare and Lloyd
George exchanged honey-worded
notes of esteem and assurance of or
dial desire to resume examination of
the questions at issue between their
governments, h new French premier
took a firm stand in his ministerial
declaration made to the chamber of
deputies Wednesday,. He said the
government was determined to base its
foreign policy on the Versailles treaty,
and was anxious to maintain and con-
solidate its alliances. Germany, he
insisted, must make up Its mind to full
fill the obligations 1t undertook at Yer
sailles. Before agreeing to take part
in the Genoa conference, he said,
rance must have guarantees from the
soviet government of Russia. In talk
ing to correspondents, NJ. Poincare
said he would not go to Genoa that
French business men might meet Ger
man and Russian business men there,
but that France desired that the Genoa
conference should not be the means of
Bolshevlk propaganda in Europe.
The Russians are very enthusiastic
over the Genoa meet and already have
announced the list of their delegates.
1t is headed by Premier Lenin, whose
place will be taken by Foreign Minis
ter Tchitcherin If the'chief cannot GO;

however, does not think the confer
ence can be a success unless the Unit

lead. He adds that Russia favors gen.
eral disarmament. but it is skeptical
of France.

PROTECT THE FORESTS

With the opening of the deer hunting
season, those who realize the danger OF
the forest fire will be in state of sus-
pense until the ten day period has passed.
1t is very easy to minimize and I'M
possible to exaggerate the grave danger
of the forest fire. So long as there are
hunters in large numbers camped in the
wooded sections or moving through them,
the danger is always present And the
only way this danger may be removed is
for the hunters to exercise every possible
precautlon.
No group of men better realize its
perils than the members of the United
States Forest Service, who have often
been called upon to fight destructive
fires caused by carelessness, fires which
at times have wiped out communities and
which would have done so more often
had it not been for the heroism of these
men.
The Forest Service has issued warn
ing to hunters. Knowing that the only
effective way to prevent fires is through
the cooperation of the hunters, all who
enter the forest are asked to cooperate.
In this warning the Forest Service states
that while the recent SHOWS will tend to
prevent fires, a forest fire is like a gun.
The list of people who have been killed
or manned with gun which the holder
"didn't know was loaded is appalling.
The same sort of carelessness, the same
"didn't know it would cause any dam
age" has been responsible for large
percentage of forest fires.
A hunter fails to extinguish all the
embers of his fire; the wind rises, sparks
scatter, dead leaves are lighted and the
first knowledge of the danger comes
when it is found that forest fire is rag
ing. Before the fire has been extinguish-
ed, a large area of timber has been wiped
out, denizens of the wood have been
cremated and frequently livestock has
been lost, while at times villages have
been gutted. And often toll is taken of
human lives.
The Forest Service calls attention to
the fact that it requires only an added
moment or two to make certain that all
the embers of camp fire are extinguish-
ed and that all other possible sources of
danger are removed. For their own pro-
lection, as well as for the protection Of
others, of game and of timber, the hunt
ers are asked to cooperate.

MODERN GAINS

The crimes of violence that, in in
creasing numbers, are recorded in the
daily news columns are a commentary on
the imitativeness of the criminal. Prompt
ed by greed or revenge or lust, the killers
go about their business in the same old
Jay. While death-dealing agencies have
been modernized and novelties in killing
have been introduced in the latest records,
this is merely a detail. The man who
uses an automatic for his work differs
only in dress from Cain-the great proto-
type of the murderer.
Cain was a man who had some claim
on sympathy--by way, not of lessening
or extenuating his offense, but of creating
pity for the feelings that followed his
deed Then the world was young. Ali
around was teelning life. Death had not
come to raise it's mysteries. When the
first murderer struck, he must have
known that he was offending against man
and God-but he could not have realized
the full result of his act. He could not
have known in advance the horror of
seeing life go out under his blow, of see
ing living being sink into dead clay.
But those who have followed Cain
have known what to expect. They have
killed, knowing what death means. And
they are still killing. That horror which
