But the Chinese have other weap-
ons, more oriental and more effec-
tive than any trial by battle. China
Is the one country in the world
where non-res sistant pacifism really
works.
Let Japanese troops march where
they please" they say, land set up
flags and governments if they will.
Why bother to fight them? Why
bother to do anything, when we can
be more effective by just doing
! nothing?
Japan needs our coal and iron.
We simply sit still. and do not mine
it.
Japan needs our trade. We sit,
and neither buy nor sell.
Japan needs our food. We eat it
ourselves.
"A year. ten years, thousand
years if necessary, we just do moth
| ing but raise and eat our own food.
as our ancestors did. We could
stand that forever. Japan would be
paralyzcd in year We are not
afraid"
Japan Must Help China
Everybody in Japan, except a few
jingoes and militarists, realizes this.
Therefore. the issue will not be
raised.
For the safety of Japan. its rela-
tions to China must be constructive
and helpful.
I Sometimes Chinese and Japanese
will not agree on what is helpful:
sometimes they will distrust each
other; sometimes neither will trust
the western powers; sometimes the
investment of capital, with it's stake
in peace and order. will seem inva-
sion or exploitation.
All these things have happened and
are happening between the United
States and Mexico, whose interests
are nevertheless bound by the closest
ties. They are bound to happen be-
tween China and Japan. But in the
long run the long truth prevails.
And the long truth is that it is to
Japan's interest to treat China fair
ly, and that, on the show down,
China is stronger than Japan.

Actions of Matterhorn
 Scare Mountain Villagers

ZERMATT. Switzerland, Sept. IA. (P)-Peculiar actions on the part of atterhorn, one of the lofty peaks of the Alps, recently caused the evacu- ation of their places by the inhabi- tants of the mountain slopes. A se- ries of landslides were followed by the appearance of broad and deep crevices on the mountain side, caus- ing considerable worry and fear to the people.
 Appeals for help were sent to the nearest Swiss towns and to Turin, Italy. The authorities ordered all the villagers to vacate their places and go to Breil Soldiers were rush ed to the district and were obliged to use forceful measures to get some of the inhabitants to leave and take cattle with them.
 A number of engineers and a de- tachment of Alpine troops have been quartered in the vacated villages to await developments.

Educational Authorities Study
 Tendencies Japanese Youths

TOKYO, Sept 14P)-While the rising generation of Japan appears to be little affected by radical thoughts" there is unmistakable ev- idence of general moral decadence brought on by the World War and aggravated by the 1923 earthquake disaster, is the conclusion recently reached by the Department of Edu- cation after studying papers collect ed from the students of 190 middle schools and girls high schools thru out the country.
 The department started its investi- gation last year with the view of obtaining the mental reactions of young Japan on various moral and ethical questions. The students is was said, apparently were quite frank in answering the questions put to them. One of the officials, sum- ming up his conclusion, said it was particularly noticeable that many boys and girls seemed to lack the power of judging between right and wrong.

OLD RUSSIAN ROAD AT SEVEN LAKES
 BE REBUILT
NEW ROAD TO FOLLOW CENTURY OLD ROAD CONSTRUCTED
 BY RUSS. CONNECTS

Over a hundred years ago the echoes from convicts hammers re- sounded in the Seven Lakes district
 Shortly, the solitude of the wilder ness fastness will be shattered again, this time, by a crew of Workmen from the Alaska Road Commission, who will enter the lower Kenai lake region to continue the construction of the present seven and one-half miles of road to the chain of lakes.
 Anton Anderson, junior engineer of the A. R. C., retured to Seward last week from making a reconnaissance of the trail and will await here, the arrival of the road crew from Nuka Bay, going into the Kenai region with them. About six miles of good sled road will be laid out, running along and connecting each of the lakes. It is thought that about four miles will be completed this fall. In several places the new road will fol- low the old Russian road, which now, only faint indentitures in the ground, is visible. This road was said to have been constructed over century ago, by Russian convicts.
 The penal settlement was located at the foot of the lake and the pris- oners were all engaged in placer mining for the Russian government, on Quartz creek and Russian river. It is said the entire recovery of gold per day, per convict, totaled 4Oc. At Russian river there was once a large community and also, a very large cemetery. It is stated some years ago an enthusiastic placer operator, in his quest for gold, destroyed all evidence of the village and graves.

The Old Mechanic Says:

If car owners would check UP
with each other a little more life
would be a whole lot easier for auto
mobile repairmen. It's fine for re-
pairmen to be able to pass out In
formation and comfort car owners
when they've got trouble on their
minds, but all this free information
doesn't pay the rent. 1t doesn't even
pay the motorist.
There have been at least dozen
owners in here durin' the past montn
to ask me to line up their fron'
wheels. They notice the right SIDE
of the right front tire seems to wear
a little more than the other tires ana
don't know that this always mas peeli
the case. Only balloon tires magnify
it.
Some treads on tires of certain
makes have a habit of wearln In a
peculiar way. 1t worries a lot OF
motorists, but like most worry IL
useless. All the motorist has TO &c
is to look at other cars equipped
with these tires or consult the OWL
ers when there is chance to swap
experiences.
It's necessary, however, to get a

general opinion and not be guided py
inst one other car owners ideas OF
experiences. l used to have chap
in here regularly to have the valves
ground in until he told me that some
friend of his who had a similar car
said there would be trouble If the
car went over 5000 miles without
havin' this work done.
A car owner might consult friend
of his on some point and. findin' the
friend havin' the same experience
might let it go at that. never reaiiz-
in that both of 'em might have been
wrong.
I've even known cases where the
trouble is too new for the repairer,
and where takin' his advice might
easily mean addin' fuel to the flames,
so to speak. The best idea is to

MAKE ENPeTiSUSC dJ
Out of the frying pan into the nfe'
That is the jump too many MOTOR
lists appear to be taking in selling
and buying cars.
The turnover in cars in the hands
of owners has reached a point where
the man who sticks to one make OF
machine year in and year out is re-
garfield as narrow. Millions OF
motorists who have Just learned
what to do-and particularly what
not to do-to their old cars are now
looking around for new makes ana
for new ways of making mistakes.
Someone has said that it taxes a
lifetime to understand one make iof
car, yet many people think they are
due for a spell of carefree motoring
lust because they handle an IN
familiar make of car, like 1t ana puy

posed to know their particular brand
of car inside and out frequently MAKE
serious blunders because they 90 MOI

a problem which even the factory
can't dope out.
1t may be a narrow policy TO ao-

as to fail to know what other cars
are doing in the way of performance
and service, but there is nothing IN
jumping from one make to another
as means of escaping trouple'
Ignorance is the biggest trouble,

Take Average Reading

Tire gauges are not so accurate
that one can afford TO take one read
ing as final. The wise car owner
take the average of several readings.
The variations are due TO the fact
that the instrument does not always
fit tightly over the valve stem when
the air is released. 1t is particular
ly important to take accurate read
ings in the case of a balloon tire
where few pounds one way or the
other means a lot. So the average
must be taken. In the old type of
