PRESIDENT HARDING TAKES HAND IN CONTROVERSY
 OVER sHANTUNc.
CONFERENCE BLOCKED
IMPORTANT PROBLEMS AND NAV AL TREATY GIVEN AM
 OTHER REVIEW.
(western Newspaper Union News Service, {,

Washington.-The aid of President delegates to bring Japan and China into agreement on Shantung.
 Taking a direct hand in the Wash ington negotiations for the first time, the President urged the Chinese to ac- cept the latest compromise offer and thus remove from the field of cOntrO- versy subject which has become a barrier to the progress of the confer ence.
 Whether the move is to succeed ap- pears to rest largely with Picking. The Japanese already have indicated in- formally their willingness to make the principal concessions proposed, and the President approached the Chinese only after the Japanese ambassador had informed the State Department that his government was ready to ac- cept a tender of good offices.
 The settlement plan sponsored by MT. Harding deals only with the return of the Tsingtao-Tsinanfu railroad sub stantially all other questions having been agreed upon in the exchanges be- tween the Japanese and Chinese. Un- der the proposal, Japan would abandon her proposition for a loan to China and the latter would purchase the road with treasury notes payable at option five to fifteen years hence. China would receive possession within five years, but would withdraw her oppo- sition to retention of a. Japanese traf- fic manager. and chief accountaint dur ing the period of payment.
 Although several days may be r quired to reach a final decision OL immediate effect of the developments was to bring into relief the import ance of Shantung in the general scheme of conference accomplish ments It is an open secret that until Shantung is settled, most of the com mitments partially entered into here must remain indefinite.
 The naval treaty, complete except for the Notifications article, was given another examination by the committee of fifteen, but no changes were made It now is regarded as probable by some delegates that no word regard, ing the Notifications proposal will come from TokiO before next week.
 The meeting of the Far Eastern committee was equally incOnclusive, fhe delegates debating without final action the situation of wireless facil- ities in China. It was voted to recon sider a resolution. adopted Dec. ' to restrict use of wireless plants and after Elihu Root had presented sub stitute for his proposal the subject was referred to a subcommittee. At a meeting later the subcommittee like wise discussed the various proposed resolutions without action.

WHAT THE CHILDREN WANTED
One Might Think 1t Was Not Alto gether Miss WilIet's Golden Voice
 That Entranced Them.

An entertainment was being given in the village school. When the program was half over the faces of the schol- ars shone with agreeable anticipation, for the next item was to be a vocal solo by Miss Willet, who on many oc- casions had delighted the school with her singing.
 Finally the chairman made the an- nouncement: T am very sorry to say, children, that Miss Willet has con tracted a cold. and will be unable to sing. She is willing, however, to re- cite a poem instead if you wish to hear it.. Do you?"
 Several heads in the rear of the room became grouped as if in earnest conversation. Then they evidently elected a spokesman. Please, sir" said the boy, If Miss Willet don't mind, we'd rather have her get up an trys to sing; and if her threats too sore to make a noise she can make her funny faces while the pianner plays the tune. e."-London Tit-Bits.

DEAR X. c. B.-You seem to belong to all
OF US. so perhaps you win not mind my writing
you again. Just must tell you how much
liked your answer to H. G. J. You seem to be
one who knows that there are some girls who
kiss their dads and. perhaps, some boys and
men for the same reason that q mother kisses
her sweet little baby.
! didn't kiss my dear Dad half as much
as / wanted to, but just knowing that the
kisses were there for him seemed to satisfy
him. and somehow we didn't connect kisses
with money. There never was much money
but II there had been he would have beaten
me to It and given It to me before could
have asked for Il. That's the kind Of a Dad
he was and the things he gave me were things
that money couldn't buy.
It's the Love Behind the Man Behind the Gift.
He thinks it's for things that his money can
buy.
But that isn't why; oh, that isn't why!
I come and encircie my arms around him
And ask him to satisfy some little whim-
It's Just an excuse to be near him, you sea
And fesi that my Daddy is nearer to me.
For in asking. receiving and giving We live.
So seek for the things and know he win
clothes!
Or love understanding-oh, anything goes!
Just so long as there's asking. receiving and
giving.
And Daddy and close together are living.
II happen to strike on the wrong little pawn.
And ask him for gold when I'm wanting song.
He smiles and he sings and he gives what
need.
And our hearts are bound closer with each
loving deed.
caress from my Daddy is dearer to me
Than oceans OF silver or gold could e'er be.
c. B. G..
can't help but think that this Is the idea
back Of even the kisses that seem to be
selfish i surely agree with you, X. c. B., that
love fourishes In spite of adversely and not
because Of 1t. In our family the lack Of money
didn't kill or create love. We kept love above
the material side OF life.

10 TALL BUILDINGS swAys

There is popular impression that tall
office buildings sway considerably IN a gale
OF wind. That there is some movement is
unreasonable, but It Is very slight. II
would be more correct to say that they bend
rather than sway. All natural growths, from
the blade OF grass to the giant fir tree bend
under the pressure Of the wind. for they are
flexible elastic, and under any side
pressure due to the wind, they give way
proportionately. The tall office buiding is
also flexible. being built of steel that has high
elasticity, and in n heavy wind, where the
total side pressure may amount up to hun
dreds of tons, the steel framework will bend
over before It. II the wind velocity never
varied. IL there were no gusts and the
pressure for a given period of time never
changed, the building would bend to leeward,
20 a certain extent. and remain stationary
In that position so long the wind pressure
remained constant. Wind pressure is not
constant but comes in gusts. and the build
ing will, be bent over in proportion to the
strength of these gusts. moving to and fro,
In accordance Herewith. Occasionally this
swaying is perceptibe to the senses: but as
rule. in the most modern buildings, the
movement Is so very slight as to be jmper.
ceptible, except by Instrumental measure.
ment Formerly, II was customary to allow
for a.uhiform pressure per square foot over
the whole surface from street level to cornice
thirty pounds per square foot being the
usual unit. Today II is recognized that the
unit pressure increases with the height and
calculations are made accordingly. Scientific
