messed. Chinese merchants silent
and conservative, the government
at least outwardly full of hope for
an early restoration of trade chan
nelS.
Several measures of relief have
been tried The most apparently
constructive was the proposal OF
clearing house between Hankow and
Shanghai, with the government
willing to absorb the adverse trade
balance; bankers did not support
the plan, which they considered i'm
practical, and the traders asked for
restoration of general free silver
circulation, causing the government
to abandon the plan.
Foreigners Plan
Foreigners have brought forward
q plan for restricted circulation OF
silver between Hankow banks only;
the government turned thumbs
down" on that because it feared all
silver would gravitate to the foreign
banks. A government scheme for
renting money to Shanghai has
largely failed because, it seems fairly
clearly established, it was abused
by. certain large foreign firms which
tried to use it for liquidation rather
than legitimate business trans
ctionS.
An embargo of a sort has been in
effect for years, but there has been
no previous necessity for enforce
ment because Hankow has had a
large favorable trade balance. Sill
yer imports from Shanghai for 1926,
for example, were Mex $4,000, 900,
as against exports of only Mex ST.
100000. Now, confronted with a
panic which seemed due to bring
general liquidation, the government
has made the embargo real, sealing
all the silver stores in the various
banks. Bayonets must tell the rest
of the story.

Travel Stories Increase In

In these days nearly everyone

But if one is forced to stay at

Miss Furnas said that the demand
for travel books begins to increase
about the first of March and reaches
it's height during the summer.

about March," she continued "and
naturally they like to read about the
places they plan to see.
"They are interested in learning
of the interesting places in the
countries they plan to visit. OF
course, sometimes the. vacation
plans fall through. BY that time
they are really interested in what
they have been reading about and
consequently they read everything
they can get dealing with the de-

According to Miss Furnas, Indian

in France and England and books
dealing with those countries are al

Summer reading is much heav-

D. c. LAND LAW
HELD UNFAIR

Certain ''nnfair features in the
present law governing condemnation
of land for streets, and the assess
ments resulting from these condem4
nations, were pointed out to the
District Commissioners today by
Herbert d. Brown, chief of the
Bureau of Efficiency. in a special
report.
Brown recommended that an ef-
fort be made to obtain remedial
legislation, and that in the mean
time immediate administrative ac-
ton be taken to eliminate such fea-
lures.
The report dealt with the method
used in notifying interested prop
erty owners of condemnation pro.
ceedings, declaring that in some
cases newspaper notices are abso-
lutely inadequate, and do not con-
stitute the notice necessary to
meet the requirements of due pro-
cess of law.
The report recommended that
property owners be notified of con-
domination proceedings by the United
States marshal or his assistant.

SCRAP
CAPITAL
SHIPS

GENEVA, June 23.-Event-
ual limitation of the navies
of the world to light cruisers,
armed with six-inch guns, and
destroyers is the aim of the
British admiralty.
American experts at the tri-
partite naval disarmament
conference see just this in the
British proposals to further
reduce the size Of capital
ships al the calibet os guns
on capital ships.
Revealed Their Hand
The British revealed their hand
in suggesting that 1O,000-ton
eight-inch gun, cruisers gradually
disappear, according to the views
of the American experts.
Little towards this end will be
accomplished at this conference
but it is certain that tha~scheme
will show itself again in 1881
when a conference is held to ex-
tend and modify the Washington
Treaty.
The British spokesman today con.
firmed the fact that it is Great
Britain's hope eventually to do
away with capital ships, but stated
that he doubted whether the mem.
Orandum on capital ships to be
handed the American delegates for
transmission to Washington would
go that far.
"Of course abolition Of capital
ships is our idea," said the British
spokesman, but necessarily we
have to come to it gradually.
Doing away with capital ships
quickly would be false economy"
Economy Is Advantage
THE only advantage we see in the
British idea Is one of economy" de.
clared an American expert to the
International News Service. 1T is
an excellent idea from the British
point OF view, because with their con-
Yenlent naval bases, small light
cruisers with limited cruising radius
are sufficient if no other national
has more powerful ships.
After all, we are limiting navies
for wartime and not for peace"
The Japanese attitude toward the
British gesture is practically identi.
cal to the American.

CHANCE GOES BY

A man does not always know his
chance when it comes to him, but if
he lets it pass he will learn in time
that it went by. Then, too late, he
will overwhelm himself with re-
proaches for not Selling the golden
opportunity.
Business men decry hardness in
those they employ, for that means not
simply the waste of time that should
be spent in work, but the failure to
be present when Opportunity coming
without warning, knocks peremptorily
and, being unanswered, summarily de-
parts. Returning belated, one may
listen eagerly for repetition of that
summons to rise and confront Destiny
face to face, but it does not come.
The great chance appeared unherald-
ed and found us wanting and went
away, leaving no address with which
we may communicate.
For our chances do not come with
Grassland music and pennants wav-
ing. They stealthily approach; they
seldom advertise. They come, like
successful burglars, when we expect
them least. eff only we had known"
we cry with vain regret. But they
promptly went where there were 9TH
ers waiting for them, with trimmed
lamps. These others seized what
might have been our own, and all
our boast of what we might have done
had our "luck" been different is I'M
availing.
What is luck? Most of the time it
means to be in the right place at the
right moment. The one who is there
is the winner over one who is else
where. And he who is there must be
present, not simply in the physical
sense; he must attend with all his
faculties. As Shakespeare reminds US,
1t Is of no use to have our eyes open
if "our sense is shut" A sentinel may
be at his post, but he is futile if he
sleeps.
Thus to recognize and to improve
the opportunity one must be broad
awake to it with the keen edge of
the senses whetted. The worker who
brings only part of his mind to his
task is not worth the whole of the
pay he draws. He will miss chances
not merely for himself-those that
quickly seized may promote his own
fortunes-but for the concern that
when it secured his services supposed
that it was getting every bit of the
man he is. He must not expect a
workers pay unless he serves with
all his senses aware.-Exchange

GIFTS TO THE PRESIDENT

KangarOos and bonbons, paintings
and maple syrup, dogs and hammered
copper, season baseball passes and
gorgeous rugs-these are few of
the gifts which almost daily pour in
upon a president of the United States.
President Coolidge differs not at all
from any other chief executive in be-
"a ing the recipient of as unique a col
lection of unsolicited contributions as
one can imagine. He has even been
given a name-a group of Sioux In
dams having called one day recently
and christened him "Bear Ribs" in
their picturesque dialect.
Many of the gifts sent to the White
House represent the spontaneous APP
probation of certain groups for man.
ifestations of friendship on the part
of the American people. Such, for
example, was the presentation to
President Coolidge of a huge rug
which now adorns the famous Blue
Room. 1t was made by orphans, in
the industrial schools of the Near
East Relief in Syria, and was their
way of saying THANK You" to mil
lions of Americans who had contrib
uted pennies and dollars that made
possible the rescue of these unfor-
Inmates from the fate which engulfed
them as result of the massacres and
deportations which accompanied the
world war in Turkey and the Eastern
Mediterranean.
Mrs. Coolidge, also, has received
many gifts from these overseas chill
dren. Frequently they send her a
shipment of their homemade jams;
they write her letters, they mail her
regularly copies of their school mag
azines in a half-dozen Oriental Ian
guages.
When Alice Roosevelt was married
at the White House. she was deluged
with gifts, many of them from for
eign kings and potentates. 1t is
doubtful if any American bride ever
received so many presents.
