 Secretary Kellogg in his statement declared that the Washington gov ernment "is taking necessary steps to protect the lives and property of Americans in China and declared that United States naval and marine forces have been supplied to the eX- tent considered necessary by Admiral C. s. Williams, commander of the forces in Asiatic waters.
 No Evacuation Ordered
 He also said that orders had not been issued from Washington for American evacuation of Shanghai and that only those Americans at points in China that could not be protected had been advised to with draw by Minister MacMurray at Picking.
 American diplomatic and military representatives in China are CO., operating fully with other foreign representatives when faced with Il joint problem such as protection of the lives and property of their na- tionals," he added,
 The secretary's statement was prompted by criticism published among Americans at Shanghai charging a lack of iirmness in Wash inston in dealing with the situation and failure to cooperate with other western nations.

Yes. sir. they had had to wait longer

Ono was little quicker than the
others and In n jiffy he was In that
bath. My. how he did make the
water fly! IT was then that one OF the
others noticed something queer about
that water. 1t didn't look like the
water they were used to bathing In.
He flew up on the clothesine. where
he could look down and SEQ better.
That dish of water was out near the
clothes yard. Suddenly he made "a

fast several times and then stared
with all his might That wasn't his
white brother that was In that water.
No. sir. it wasn't his white brother

bird was blue! He was n stranger.

The young Bluebird on the clothes

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Friday, August 5.

| While tomorrow's planetary govern
ment prevails it Is well 10 be exceed
ingly cautious and conservative, &C
cording to astrology.
Women may find the rule thwarting
and they should defer all important
affairs.
Travelling may be subject to de-
| lays or even accidents. for unusual
storms appear to be presaged by the
stars.
European tourists. who will exceed
in numbers all previous Summer rec
ords. may meet with unexpected con-
ditions and may experience indigni-
ties in certain places.
Those who read the stars find the
most conflicting planetary influences
active, where military matters are
concerned, and they predict bitter con
troversies.
While this configuration prevails,
the trend toward militarism may be
strong and preparedness widely advo'
Gated and supported.
Women as we'll as men Of many
countries are to take an interest in
training and drilling for war, 1t Is
foretold.
This is read as an unlucky day
for seeking employment and 1t is wise
TO delay initia tive.
Much anxiety and concern appears
to be foreshadowed for men in posi-
tons in the sun.
For all rulers of nations new prob
,ems loom on the horizon, the seers
announce. and changes in government
are to be sudden.
Great movements of battleships are
presaged by the stars, for ports held
by the British are to be menaced.
To those who read the future, many
waste efforts are apparent on the
part of European powers. which must
make new alliances before the end Of
the year.
Italy is subject to the sinister effects
Of the July conjunction OF Jupiter
and Uranus. which presaged changes
that affected the destiny of nations.
Persons whose birthdate it Is have
a busy and happy year before them.
They will accomplish much construc-
tive work.
Children born on that day probably
will be able to succeed through their
own talents and efforts. They are
likely to be energetic and executive,
able to succeed in independent enter
prises.

The End of a Meal.

Talking Of cutting calOries when you
eat at restaurants--it's easy to take
fruit or clam cocktail instead of soup,
or consomme instead Of thick soup, it
doesn't make much difference whether
you eat lean beef or roast loin Of
pork, and after a few pangs of regret
you can say 'no" to potato. You can
even manage your salad with a spare
dressing of salt and vinegar instead Of
the thick mayonnaiSe your soul adoreS
and the waitress passes to you.
Your real temptation comes when
the dessert arrives. Ice cream-no, de-
cidedly no. A heaping tablespoonful
Is 100 calories: the amount the restau-
rant would give you would be from
$50 to $50 calOries. You can't have
that. Pie? If it's a fruit or custard
pie without any top crust, count it 250
or more helping: if it has a top crust
add on another 100 calories. A piece
of cake? Plain cake would be 200
and up, layer or rich cake, 800 and
up. No cake,
Pudding? Just as bad. Two hun
bred to 400 calories, depending on the
amount of good things like sugar and
butter and -four that have gone into
1t. No pudding? Wen, you can have
dish of stewed fruit, you can have
your fruit cocktail, saved from the be-
ginning and put on the end of the meal;
you can have watermelon or little
cantaloupe, odd as these things seem
for a dessert. You can't have cheese,
because the average size small cube
such as they serve with pies is 100
calories. and you'll eat crackers at %
calories each and butter with it.
You'd better stick to fruit and a
little black coffee and make it up with
conversation and the comforting idea
that your figure is going to be Younger

4 Attractive Collars and Cuffs
BY MARY MARSHALL.

would have gone away With the re-
solve to have a short-sleeved black
frock with fiesh-colored lingerie col
lar and cuffs.
/ have since seen many Of these
fine lingerie cuffs to be worn with
short sleeves. They magnify the
charm Of well formed, slender young
arms. But it is hardly a fashion for
the older woman or the woman with
voluptuous arms of the sort that Ru'
bens found enticing.
A close second in smartness to my
little beauty in black taffeta was a
girl whose frock caused considerably
mere comment. 1t was a simply made
frock of organdie in the new shade OF
ecru that they call praline. The skirt
was gathered, but not too full, ana
the underslip was of a rich red tai
feta made fairly scant. SO that the
fullness Of the beige taffeta appeared
like a mist about the slender red sill
houette beneath. A rich red ribbon
fashioned the girdle placed at nor
NAL waistline, and there was a fioppy-
brimmed red hat to finish the picture.
Rag flowers cut from the material
of the frock are still going strong y
They are easy enough to make your
self, and I'll gladly send you the pat
tern to make them, together with a
sketch showing the very newest way
of arranging them on Summer frock.
Just send me a stamped self-ad-
dressed envelope If you are interested.

Everyday Law Cases
docs Failure to .AnStcer Letter
Indicate AcQuieScence?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

The monument that Jacob Bishop
wished to erect being very costly, he
arranged with a tombstone company
that clay model be made.
When the model was ready Bishor
went to inspect it. The decision at a
trial. brought later by the company
for the price of the monument. turned
on the interview between the parties
on this occasion.
AT the trial the company testified
that Bishop had then expressed his
satisfaction with the model. This
Bishop denied.
AS proof that Bishop had expressed
his satisfaction. the company read a
letter it had sent Bishop after the in
terview, which stated: If you were
not satisfied when you We're here, why
did you not say so?" Because he had
not answered this letter the company
claimed that Bishop had tacitly ad
mitted the truth of it's contents.
Bishop objected to this interpreta
ton of his failure to answer the letter
and his objection was sustained, the
court declaring:
1.-THE mere fact that letters were re
ceived and remained unanswered has
no tendency to show an acQuieScence
Of the party in the facts stated there
in, A party Is not to be driven into a
correspondence of that character to
protect himself from such conse
quences. There may, however. be cir.
cumstances under which unanswered
letters are competent evidence Of tacit
admission in the statements made"

some and Mrs. Winsome were unusu-

three of their children were dressed
all in white. They just couldn't get
used to it. They didn't mean to be
partial, but the fact is the other babies
got more Of the food than the white

more natural to fly to the babies that
We're dressed as young Bluebirds
should be dressed.
There was one thing that Farmer
Brawns Boy Is always very particular
about. 1t Is that there shall at all
times be water where the birds can
drink it and battle in it. He never
forgets to put out water every morn
ing. And the birds appreciate it. In
deed they do! 1t seems sometimes as
If all the birds of the Old Orchard were
sitting around waiting turn to take a
bath.
Now, the young Bluebirds enjoyed a
morning bath as much as any of the
other birds. Being young, they some
times had to wait a long time before
they got a chance. You know, in the
bird world 1t is much as 1t used to be
In our world. and older folk come first.
So the young Bluebirds would get
rather impatient at times.
It happened one morning that they
