OPEN DOOR PLAN
ACCEPTED in PART
Provision fer Inquiry in Con-
cessions of China Is
Eliminated.

Washington American open
door program was accepted in part
Thursday by the Far Eastern commit
tee of the arms conference, but ap-
| proval was given only after elimina-
tion of the provision which would have
specifically authorized any inquiry
into existing concessions in China.
The French, renewing their objec-
tions to reopening the whole field of
concessions granted in the past, were
seconded by the japanese and the pro-
posal was finally thrown out entirely
at the suggestion of the British. The
Chinese reserved the right to call it
up again later
The existing concessions article was
the center of debate in the committee
from the moment of its presentation
by Secretary Hughes until it finally
was stricken out, various delegates
opposing it on the ground that it might
lead to an almost endless inquiry into
the validity of the maze of economic
arrangements now in force throughout
China. For the American delegation,
however, it was said that the elimi-
mated article was not considered of
vital Importance since remaining pro-
visions of the plan would permit ex-
animation of existing concessions
where both parties. agreed to it.
AS adopted the open door resolution
contains mutual pledge not to seek
spheres of influence or monopolies in
China in the future and authorizes
creation of an international board of
reference with power to investigate
and report on any case which seems to
involve violation of the principle of
equal economic and commercial oppor-
tunity.
The separate negotiations between
the Japanese and Chinese over the
Shantung problem were advanced one
more step Thursday by an agreement
for return to China of the coal and iron
mines in Kiachow leased territory.

No person whose nerves are continually
irritated, whose appetite and digestion are dis
turbed, or who doesn't sleep well has more than
half his normal chance for success in life For
weakness, debility, aneraia and general lack Of
tone are serious handicap to anybody.
Those who drink tea or coffee are often suf-
ferers from these conditions. Tea and coffee
contain caffeine, a substance which has decided
stiInulant action on the nerves and brain cells.
Each cup of strong coffee contains about as
large dose of caffeine your doctor would
ordinarily give to a very sick person.
You can readily see that the effect of giving
this stimulant regularly to well person might
finally have tendency to make him sick.
IF you want to avoid very common cause
of irritation and enjoy restful Sleep good Digestion

that comes to healthy, normal people, quit tea
and coffee, and drink Postum, instead. It is rich,

We need them for various committee matters, as official representatives at confer ences with other organizations. as speaking for sketches In the 1nde- pendent Woman, for general publicity and last but not least, occasionally as suggestions to outside firms looking for an Ali expert in some Iartieular line. We present the fol- lowing plan:
 That each club take this matter up at the regular club meeting, If possible letting the members know in advance as to when the vote will be taken for your outstanding and representative women.
 That it be thoroughly understood by all your members upon what basis voting shall take place.
 The members be urged to upon personal friendships and to vote for those members who are really most representative of the high attain ments reached by business and pro fessional women.
 That in a spirit of friendlinesa nominating speeches be made giving the qualifications and attachments of the nominees.
 That the members then proceed to elect by secret ballot ten per cent or the total clubs membership, If your club has ST members. elect six. IT your club has s2 members, elect nine. I1arrAs and addresses of those elected should be mailed promptly to the executive secretary at national head quarters Soon after receipt. national headquarters will ask each of those for a brief account of her business career. attainments and a photo graph; also as to her interest and experience in such things as com munity service, club activities, legis- lation, work with younger girls, rec reation sports, etc. This informa- ton will be filed according to occu- pations and cross indexed to Ahow along what particular lines cne member may be of greatest service,
 A special committee has suggested that in voting the following qualifi- cations of each candidate be con- gew 0fifeymf-fap
 sidered:

 Business and personal integrity.
 Community standing.
 Service to club and community.
