Animal Mimicry.

Observers of nature are frequently
struck with the singular resemblance
of insects to leaves, dried sticks and SO
forth, and these likenesses are sup
posed to have grown out of the neces-
sity of protection against or conceal
ment from enemies. An interesting
example of this kind of resemblance.
was recently cited by a government
naturalist, who exhibited spider
found inhabiting some rocks near
Cannes, on which were also fastened
the cases of a species IF moth. When
at rest the spider exhibited almost
precisely the same form and color
as the moth cases surrounding it.

Washington, Sept. 11.-Despite the
rail and coal strikes and consequent

procured before the coal miners re-
turned to work, the employment serv-
Ice of the department says: "The
sOundness Of business is reflected In
the increased number of employed In
many industries, surrounding the re-
action of the rail and fuel situation.
Chemical and allied products lead
the industries which increased en-
plOyment last month.
Although feeling the effects of the
fuel shortage, many industries show
improvement. The textile industry Is
showing signs of revival, which will

Denver Takes Lead.
Denver leads the van of cities in
added employment. Among other
cities which show increases are Chi.
cago, Boston, Los Angeles and Allan
ia. Cities that show slight decreases
are New York, Pittsburgh, San Fran
cisco and Detroit. Improvement OF
the fuel situation has bettered con-
ditions in these cities since figures
were compiled"
The statement says: Building
operations are increasing employ
ment in the building trades and In
dependent industries. In some Sec
tons transportation difficulties have
imQeded the building activities.
"CalifOrnia-All branches Of in

railroad repairs, operating at normal,

Automobile production continues to

"Pittsburgh.-The industrial situa-

although the Improvement has unques-

considerable lessening of transpOrta-

The Hammerheads plan to keep the horse out of the race by setting fire to the barn, thinking that their horse might then win. But in the end Cold Molasses takes first prize of three thousand dollars and the plans of the Hammerheads are frustrated.
 One of the strongest casts ever assembled makes. "The Country Fair" is all that is claimed for it. Edith Chapman appears as Aunt Abigail, while Helen Jerome Eddy takes the part of Sally. David But Ter is seen as Joel and William V. Mong as Solon Hammerheal. John Stepping. Arthur Housman and Charles Barton also have prominent roles, while Wesley Barry, the fam ous frecklefaced boy, has a humor- ous part which keeps the audience in continual laughter

CANTON SEEKS TO UNITE
 CHINA AND OPPOSE JAPAN
Presidents Aide Says Armament Leaves Japan
 Mistress of Orient.

If Chinese man-power and Chinese na- tural resources were at her command Hence the raison d'etre of Japan's pol. icy in China.
 "1t is also a term of the argument that Japans real aim is masked in the contention that she seeks in China only room for her surplus population and the raw materials without which her industries would perish But intra.mural China is overcrowded, and the conditions of life in extra. | mural China-Manchuria and Mon. golia-are not suitable for genuine Japanese, as distinguished from purely political, colonization in those regions. AS regards raw materials these are and always will be available to Japan through the ordinary trade chonnels.
 "AIMs AT DOMINION OF CHINA" These considerations, therefore, seem to support the view that Japan's policy in China aims at the dominion of China with her man-power and na. tural resources in order to enable Japan to force open the gates of Aus tralia and America to Japanese immi- grafton.
 eff the foregoing is correct, there is apparently force in the suggestion that a mere limitation of armaments can not solve either the Pacific or the Chinese question. A mere limitation of armament leaves Japan-relatively to America and the other great pow ers-in the same position of power preponderance held by her today, Japan is the greatest military power in the Far East, indeed in the whole of Asia. And her ability and power to prosecute her policy of ascendancy in China would be increased, not dimin- ished, by any scheme limiting the de7 velopment of the only factor of re- straint on her, l. e., American naval power.
 "On this view America would be faced with the political paradox of working the greatest injury to China whilst genuinely trying to assist her. That paradox was seen in the Knox scheme of railway naturalization in Manchuria; and it was repeated in the policy which brought China into the great war and sacrificed her at Yer sailles.
 "AND SAME PARADOX WILL
 REAPPEAR"
 And the same paradox will reap pear so long as it is not realized that the future of China is' a vital-not m altruistic-concern to America.
 'If the future of China is rightly envisaged as vital American interest you will see the cogency of the related view that limitation of American ar mament must be supplemented by the strengthening of some internal stabii- izing force in China unless the inter- vention of America is to worsen the present grave state of the country
 'In terms of practical politics, such as stabilizing, force must take the form of a national government.
 That is the background on which We would group the great griefs of China"

far as our little problems of time and space and
destiny are concerned.
It is Just as well that the dining car fly doesn't
know where he Is going. The excitement might be
too great you could make him understand the dis
lance between New York and San Francisco. He
might dash his brains out against the car window,
saying, 81 can't stand this excitement"
Perhaps if we knew where WE are going If we
understood the things chat are to happen to this
old earth and u.s. the excitement would be too great
and we should say "Let me out and into the grave;
can't stand it."
When you start from New York to San Fran
cisco you have in mind the various stations-Al-
bany Buffalo, Cleveland, Chicago, etc. Mr.. McCay's
interesting cartoon shows some of the stations that
we have passed in our travels.
Twelve thousand years behind us, only a min
ute in the life of the old earth, but long time In
the age of little man, you find the Stone Age Then
our only tool was sharp piece of stone, used to Kill
animals, to skin them, scrape the hides, cut them
up. There were two Stone Ages, the old or Paeleo-
lthic and the new Stone Age, or Neolithic. The
Neolithic gentlemen were probably proud of them
selves, and despised the Probabilities For Neo-
ithic man knew how to shape and polish his flints
making arst-class arrowheads and spearheads, and
did not depend on the luck of finding sharp flint
or on roughly hammering it.
Already in that Stone Age, women who have
been the real civilizng power, had developed the
grains that you eat to-day-wheat rye, barley.
How they did it, cultivating weeds and developing
the big seeds that grain or how long it took
them, we don't know. But they DID it, and tanned
