Old Scottish Sunday Dinner.

In letter of Sir Walter Scott, dated
in 1924, he describes a typical Sab
bath in Edinburgh 100 years ago as
follows:
81 have always been intimate with
the Forbeses from my infancy, since
the excellent old lord with his wife
and family used weekly to dine at my
fathers always on Sunday, and on
the same bill of fare, which would now
be thought a curious one to invite a
nobleman to. In the first place there
was sheep-head broth ano said
sleeps head itself, the reason being
that the sleeps head, which requires
much boiling, was put on the night be-
fore, and the dressing of the beef
steaks occupied the least possible time,
and thus the necessity of employing
servants on the Sabbath day was
diminished as much as possible. Then
there was bottle or two of special
wine, which no wine merchant had fit
ted for the market. and there was a
sermon read, during which one part of
the children were sleeping and the
other pinching and kicking them to
make them keep awake. And then
there is an old Sabbath for you in
Edinburgh"

Portland Woman Says She
Was Almost a Nervous and
Physical Wreck When She
Began Taking Tanlac.
Feels Ten Years Younger.

II have just finished my third bot
tie of Tanlac and have gained four
teen pounds in weight" said Mrs.
Annie L. Wescott, 81 Washington
Avenue, Portland, Me.
Several months ago, a severe at
tack of the grip left me almost a
complete nervous and physical
wreck. l was so weak couldn't lift
a tea kettle and l had pains and
aches all over my body. My nerves
were shattered, 1 had terrible head
aches, and often had the worst kind
of dizzy spells. My appetite almost
left, me and even after eating little
cruel, gas would press around my
heart so I could hardly breathe.
Nothing tried gave me any re-
lief until two of my friends urged me
to take Tanlac. I'm very happy that
l followed their advice too, for to-day
I am we'll and strong and actually
feel ten years younger. I'm SO glad
about my restored health that it's a
pleasure to tell about Tanlac.'
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
gists.

HOW COOLIE SAVES HIS FACE
Chinaman Is Amusing and Ingenious,
but His Little Tricks Do Not
Always Work.

Chinese workmen would rather en-
dure any amount of physical pain
than to lose face, writes Sam Dean in
Asia. made that discovery through
an experience we had with our gate
keeper soon after my arrival in
China We had dismissed him be-
cause he insisted on collecting 10 per
cent on some goods we had brought
into the courtyard to bale for ship
ment to America. When l came home
one night. shortly afterward, l found
him mounted on the horse block in
front Of the gate, haranguing several
hundred listeners. He told them
how he had been cheated and dis
charged. and then, tightening loose
~ knotted cord that encircled his
neck, he went to the front door; tied
one end of the cord to the brass
knocker and sank down till he was
half strangled Then he arose and
addressed the assembly still further.
had seen enough. I rushed into the
hold and told a friend who had been
in China longer than what was hap
pening. He ran out, gave the gate
keeper a shake and said: eff you
hang yourself at our door, l will kick
| you to DEATH" The crowd burst out
laughing, and the old man, who had
hoped to make us lose face, lost so
much himself that he sneaked away
as fast as he could. l remember an
other and more amusing case when
| the crowd laughed no less heartily
at the expense of the foreigner. He
was whale of an Italian contractor,

| spot the coolies were using a tamper
| made of a large round iron casting
with ropes attached. They held the
| ropes and. throwing their bodies back

they were singing, they raised and
| lowered the casting Meanwhile, how
ever, they were losing face with the
crowd. for the italian was laying on
| pretty vigorously with the cane, and
| so, to retrieve their honor, they be-
| gan to sing with all their might:
"Old foreign devil, old foreign devil
Beat, beat him, beat him in the earth !"
The Italian did not understand, but
the crowd did and laughed heartily;
the foreigner was giving the coolies
blows with stick, but they were hit

AMERICAN DISAPPEARS
IN SONORA, MEXICO
(By The Associated Press

Nogales. AriZ,, Jan. 11.--Ameri-
can Consul f. ]. Dyer of Nogales
Sonora, was advised late today of
the disappearance in Sonora OF
Thomas Burt, G7, an American,
formerly of Oregon.
Burt, with another American,
Charles Schaeizr, went to MADEIRA
Chihuahua, for supplies. Schaef-
fer said he and Burt set out from
Rio Chico and after proceedine
about nine miles. Burt missed
some clothing and returned In
search of It. Schaeffer waited five
days with the pack animals and
mining supplies, but Burt failed to
return, A three day search later
proved fruitless.
Meanwhile a partner of the two
named Sims, who remained In
camp at Picacho had become I'M
easy over their failure to appear,
Sims began search for the two,
but got lost in the mountains,
Schaefer waited three days more
in Pieacho until Sims returned
from his search for them. Schaefer
then went to Rio Chico, where
some MeXicans suggested that Burt
had fallen with his mount from
one OF the cliffs. A search of the
surrounding country, however,
failed to reveal any sign of Burt.

IMPROVEMENT Of
WELLAND CANAL
.ISRECONNENDED
fnr rh, Assoelated Press.l

Washington, Jan. 11.--lmprove-
ment of the new Welland canal pc
tween AXE Erie and Lake ontario
as we'll as the st. Lawrence river
to provide a S0-foot channel from
Lake Erie to the sea, has been
recommended by the international
Joint commission In its report on
the proposed Great Lakes-St Law
renee waterway, according to Rep
resentative Chalmers, republl-
can, Ohio. 1ouay he introduced a
bill in the house authorizing the
improvement. by the United States
but STIMULATING that the expense be
borne equally by the United States
and Canada through q bond issue
guaranteed by both governments.
The report of the commission
which has been submitted to the
state department but has not yet
been made public, Mr.. Chalmers
said In a statement, recommends
that the project. including the wild
ening and deepening of the new Wei
land canal, De undertaken and that
the cost be met through taxation
by the United States and Canada.
The commission report, he said.
recommends that the division of
costs be figured on the basis Of
known traffic for five years to be
definitely ascertained by an inter-
national survey.
II believe such procedure Is
too indefinite and intangible to be
used as a basis for determining
the ALLEGATION OF the costs Of the
enterprise, which will run into the
hundreds of millions of dollars
he declared, 81 think the $3.50
proposition ~ the safest and fair
est for both countries"
The Chalmers bill provides that
the bonds should be retired. with
proceeds derived from the sale
OF hydro electric power made
available for commercial use by
the improvements. The measure
also proposes that the benefit de-
rived by hydro electric energy
shall be equally divided between
the two countries.

RAILROAD RATES
BEING HANME RED
DOWNWARD, SAYS
Willard Claims Economic
Laws Are Responsible;
Carriers Are to Defend
Existing Levels.

Washington, Jan. 11.-Railroad
rates are being slowly but steadily
forced downward by economic
laws, Daniel Willard, president of
the Baltimore anG Ohio railroad ar
gued today before the interstate
commerce commission when that
body resumed its inquiry into the
general level of transportation
charges. There is no need, but con-
siderable danger, he added, in fore
IDLY decreasing them by govern
ment edict at present.
He appeared as the first of sew
eral railroad presidents who will
sum up the case of the common
carriers in defense Of existing rate
levels. He was preceded by sew
eral statisticians who presented
figures tending to prove insufficient
earnings from rasroad operations
during recent months and meager
prospects for appreciate improve
ment even If present rates are
maintained.
what then may the public ex-
pect ?" Mr.. Willard said in review
ing the statistical case Must It
continue to paw existing rates and
fares Is no relief to be expected?
"To assume mat such Is the case
would be in error. In the past
American railroads have afforded
the cheapest transportation service
in the world. They will he so again.
They are being that at this minute.
High as are railroad charges, they
are not higher relatively than other
prices are or were, and 1t is i'm
portant to remember that railroad
charges or prices were the very last
to go up and in the nature of
things cannot be the first to go
down. They can and will particle
pate in the downward movement Of
all prices"
Lower cost Of operations, which
must be attained before rates can
be cut, he said. largely depend on
lower labor costs, or on investments
of large amounts Of capital in bet
.terments, and on time for the con-
sumption of high priced materials
still in railroad inventories and
their replenishment with cheaper
products.
L. e. Wetterling, appearing for
western roads, fixed s273,713 900 as
the amount by which carriers in
that district had failed to earn a
81 per cent return.
When the hearing opened the
United States chamber of COM
merce asked the commission to call
Secretary Hoover, as general rep
resentative Of commercial interests,
end the commission 80 ordered. Mr..
Hoover will appear later. Sessions
were adjourned late today until

GREAT INDUSTRIAL CENTER is
PLANNED BY FORD If HE GETS
POSSESSION OF MUSCLE SHOALS
Proposal Includes the Building of City IS
Miles Long in That Region; Project Will Be
Made the Outstanding Achievement of His
Career; to Harness Water Power.
Try THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Detroit, Mich, Jan. Ii, (By the
Associated Press. IF Henry Ford
obtains possession of the Muscle
Shoals project in Alabama, lie will
take immediate steps to make that
part Of the south one of the indu
trial centers of the country, the AS
ISOLATED Press learned today.
The Muscle Shoals plan Of Mr..
Ford contemplates one of the great
est undertakings in the history Of
industrial America, it became
known and includes development
of thu property as a model and the
eventual extension of the system TO
other parts of the country.
Mr. Ford's proposal includes the
building of a city rs miles long in
the Muscle Shoals region, It wou q
be made up of a number of large
towns or small cities, This is in
line with the manufacturers view
that men and their families should
live in small communities where
benefits Of rural or near-rural life
would not be entirely lost.
Ford's Proposal.
Mr.. Fords proposal to the gov
! eminent includes leasing of the
property Tor lOO years, But peloTe
the expiration Of half that he pro-
poses to turn the completed project
over to the people of the district or
to the government in such a way
that no one in the future will be
able to make a personal profit from
the undertaking. He will arrange
that he nor any of his heirs may
realize any monetary benefit from
the Muscle Shoals plants or the
power developed, it became known
today.
Mr.. Ford proposes to make the
project, II the government gives its
consent, the outstanding achieve
ment OF his career.
The Muscle Shoals project Is,
however, only the start of great

DISCUSSION OF
SHANTUNC ISSUE
IS BEGUN AGAIN
Japanese and Chinese Dele
gates Brought Together
Through the Efforts of
Hughes and Balfour.
NV THE ASSOCIATED Press )

Washington, Jan. II. (By the
Associated Press) Brought to-
gether again through the efforts
of Arthur ]. Balfour and Secre-
tary Hughes. Japanese and Chinese
delegates today resumed their In
terrupted Shantung conversations
and agreed on withdrawal Of Jap
anese guards from the Using Tao
Tsinan-Fu railroad, and all other
troops from the former German
leasehold. Withdrawal of the
troops, however, is contingent on
settlement of tne entire Shantung
controversy,
Under the agreement reached
after two sessions, the japanese
agreed to withdraw their railroad
troops within three months after
the signing of a complete Shan
tung accord, If circumstances per-
mitted but. in any event within
six months.
With regard to the other troops
the Japanese undertake to begin
the withdrawal Immediately upon
the Chinese taking over the ad-
fninistration OF Kiao Chow, If
possible then, or in any event
within thirty days thereafter,
provided an ultimate understand
ing is reached to restore the lease
hold to China.
p Ambassador Shidehara repre-
scented Japan at today's session
while Vice Foreign Minister Ham,
hara who usually has been sitting
in for Japan was engaged in other
matters.
The latter. however, in a state
ment tonight, discussed the case
in a way which was regarded by
some as presenting some diver
gence from the presentation of
proposal in the sessions of the
two delegations.
Japan's offer to withdraw the
1900 troops from the railway
zone in Shantung, Mr.. Hanihara
said, was noy new proposal nor
was II conditional on settlement
of the entire SnHntung question.
The japanese government, he
pointed out, had made similar
suggestion a year ago to China,
conditioning 1t merely on China's
readiness and capacity to substi-
tute suitable Chinese police force
which would assume responsibility
of protecting the railway which
was Japan's property.
