London, Jan. 13th.-In the short perl
cd row i~ntervenlnp before the expected
battle in the new House of Commons,
the notable feature of the situation OBJ
servable is the persistence Of the agIta-
ton to prevent laDour forming a Govern
ment or, falling that, to make sure that
such a Government. once 1t IS formed,
shall have the shortest possible lite. The
latest effort in this direction has been to
seize upon pending industrial disputes to
insure Unsuitable grounds for retaining
the present Government ln power. h
argument being employed is that in the
presence Of such a disturbing factor as a
big railway strike, a new laGour admins
tration might find its hand forced by the
extremists section of thu Labour Party,
to the injury Of the public interests and
that therefore safety lies in the retention
Of the Baldwin Administration. This
argument clearly is addressed to the lib
eraI Party, which, with the Conservative,
would have the power to overthrow a
Labour Government. 1t is Impossible to
say how far the argument appeals to the
Liberal rank and file, but as far a Mr..
AsQuith and the other responsible Lib
erai leaders are concerned, II IS believed
there has been no change IN their views
on the situation and that the fall OF the
Baldwin Ministry will coma quickly, per
haps next Thursday, the date already
predicted for its downfall. Without
doubt big labour disputes would embar-

tual situation still seems 10 be governed
by Mr.. Asqlith's d cIaraton that a Ia

Results of Deception

Dear Miss Martha Lee: /. My girl
friend and l were going with two gentle
men who are cousins. The four of US al
ways went together. l thought quite a bit
of my girls friend and We would have
dates on the sly. One evening my steady
came while his cousin was there. That
rather peeved him.
Now I am going with the other fellow.
But he seems 10 think his cousin will
cause trouble for him. I know this fell
low still cares for me. What should l doE
This fellow I go with now is a real nice
fellow. the kind that is hard to find.
.. Is IL right for a girl 20 years old to
30 with a fellow II years old. although
he seems much older: PEGGY.
/. 1t is fortunate that kind Of man
is hard to find, if he specializes in
deceit. Peggy, my dear, my advice
is to wipe the slate clean and start
all over. without a steady" and
with friends. 1t is surprising that
you have friends left with which
to start. after your deception.
2. 1t is not fair to the boy. Even
though he does seem older than Il,
he probably is much less mature
than the girl. She is ready for wom-
anhood, perhaps for love. He is not.
Therein lies the danger.

John. a quiet, u~nassuming chap,
may cast admiring, if rather shy,
glances at the gayest, most popular
girl at the ball.
Bill, on the other hand, always
the center of a circle of admirers,
likely as not plays around with
the fiappers, but turns to some sweet
young thing when he thinks of mar
riage.
But, as if to prove that men are no
more consistent than women, Jim,
much the same type" as Bill, never
looks at a girl who does not have
good looks and pep" who is not a
good dancer and doesn't fit at gay
parties.
So it will be seen that fellows like
every type of girl. But the same
type of men do not always like the
same type of girls.

those about Is to is years old. c. E. G.
Do you like the same kind Of boys
as all your girl friends like? Proba-
bly, each of you has her own special
likes and dislikes.
So it is with boys.
In general, good looks. pep" and
intelligence enough to know how to
treat each man according to his in
dividuality, whether he be a "sheik"
or a shy young man. will help make
a girl popular. That indeinable
something called charm" is what
attracts both men and women, in
general; but in particular, each per
son must be studied.

SONS and fans" say Kato San,
general secretary Of the Toxic Y,
w. C. A.
And Hori San, who has been
studying in this country for a
year, c~orroborates her statements.
Both these representatives from
across the sea are helping in a ma
tion-wide campaign to replace the
associations buildings that were
demolished in the earthquake last
September.
Young girls in Japan are just
as anxious to be Independent to-
day as their American sister,"
Kato San continues, land Toxic
is filled with pioneers who have
left their homes in the country dis
tricts and have gone to live in the
city-lured as your girls are here
by the prospect Of the pay en-
velope.
Those who enter silk factories,
as a rule, are housed in dormi-
tories on the factory grounds and
here they spend practically all
their time with the exception Of
three days rest a month.
Even during the famous cherry
blossom season and in the fall
days when chrysanthemums fill
the little island with their bril-
liant freshness, these factory girls
OF Japan must put in from twelve
to fourteen hours Of work daily,
for these are the rush seasons in
the silk industry"
Kato San has obtained permits
sion from many of the factory
owners to introduce recreation
workers, trained in America, who
bring relief for tired muscles and
bodies cramped from manual labor.
ut is not so bad to be away
from home when it means that
you can laugh and romp around
with other girls occasionally" she
vent on, because that is some
thing that is frowned upon by self
contained. weu-mannered Japanese
parents"

TELEPHONEONC
CALLED NUISANCE
Chicago Police Had It Re-
moved to Outer Office,

When the telephone was first in
troduced in police headquarters in
Chicago-in 1885-it was regarded
as a nuisance and removed to an
outer office.
Today the telephone has become
an aid as a crime detector. and also
serves as a crime deterrent, for
criminals know that their chances
of being caught are increased by
the wide use of the telephone.
If it were not for the patrol box
and police alarm systems, many
criminals would succeed in making
their escape, but so quickly are
alarms and descriptions flashed to
all stations, that arrests are made
before the culprit makes much
Roadway.

pounds would have to be eaten to
get the same caloric result.
These are matters that the aver
age person does not stop to consider
when sitting down to eat. The
spoonful of olive oil, or the little
pitcher of cream he takes may be
giving him a caloric value equal or
greater to all the rest Of the food
he is eating.
A few instances of this may be
found by noting the following food
articles, each of which contain 100
calories: One large egg, large
sized baked potato, n lamb chop,
a dish Of sweet corn, an ordinary
helping of baked beans, two square
of cube sugar, a handful of peanuts,
a square of butter, a glass of milk
or a quarter of a glass of cream and
a large orange.

II NE thing that stumped Mr..
Il Mann when he was consider
- ing dietary problems was why
food cannot be measured in weight
or bulk.
The mistake Of thus measuring
food is a common one.
Food is measured in fuel units,
better known as ~calories.
And many foods have their caloric
values so well concentrated that by
taking a small portion the same eff
feet can be procured as when a
large amount of some other bulky
food is eaten.
An example of this is olive oil,
which is a concentrated food where
in 800 ~calories per ounce, or there
abouts, may be found. Ordinary
vegetables are bulky and several
