GOOD ADVICE

A portly woman had, by mistake,
taken seat in railway coach reserv-
ed for smokers. With unconcealed in
dignation she saw the man next to her
fill his pipe.
"Sir,"she said in frigid tones, .smok-
ing always makes me i'll"
The man calmly lit his pipe and
pulled contentedly, and at the same
time replied:
"Does it, ma'am? Well, take my
advice and give it up."-Chicago Her
aid and Examiner.

A process patented in France con- sists in an improvement in the manu- facture of stuffs or objects which i'm itate fur, plush or velvet, or for use as carpets and the like. The process starts with an animals fur. or an as semblage of animal or vegetable fi- bres. and these are immobilized by freezing them in block of ice.
 The ice is then sawed into slabs. and a slab is made to undergo a sur face melting so as partially to free the hair or flores on one side: then suitable glue or cement is applied upon this surface.

These large 1000 ton vessels, Admiral Wash ington states, will replace the small ob- solete and generally unreliable subs of the past and these new vessels will take their place in the fleet and will be as much part of 1t as any other force. Adequate tenders have been provided and the submarine service now offers op- poftunities never before equalled. As each submersib1e will require four off, cers the number of officers under instrue- ten there must be greatly increased.
 '-The submarine service" says Admiral Washington. should appeal strongly to young officers. It develops their inftia- tive, sek-reliance and ability to accept responsibility A young officer of sub has the responsibility of independent command. with all that pertains thereto such as organization, ship handling, and the command of men.

JAPAN's POPULATION

Some Europeans and Americans say that the settlement Of the population cuesticn in Japan is a condition prec- efent to the Limitation of Armaments and Elaranty of peace
 Thie plea is presumably due to the preconcepton that a surplus popula- ton lcads to the invasion of foreign lands. Let it be remembered. however, there is no population question Of that sort i1 this country.
 It is true that the population of thu country shows a healthy rate of in- crease. but it is- wrong to think that this means a surplus population. Dhile tha population is increasing, there is a constant addition to the wealth of the country, and 1t would be proper to say that the population is short, rather than that it is excessive. In Tact, villages are suffering from the ncarcity of farm labor.
 lt is absolutely untrue that Japan is rufterl1g trom an excess of popula- Gon and there is no reason why the issue of our so-called surplus popu- laticn should be raised by forsigners, especially by Americans-From chuo Tolxlo.
