ing piston. 1t was patented in
England by George Law in 1865

Louis, Mo-, produced a chipping
hammer.
Can oil coiOrS be used for paint
ing on leather postal cards?
Oil colors will not suit for paint
ing on leather unless specially
prepared to keep from spreading on
the outlines of figures. The best
method is to use artists tube colors
or other good colors, that are
ground stiff; mix them with little
drier and flexible varnish, reducing
with spirits of turpentine. Or color
in japan may be developed, thinned
with turpentine. to which a little
flexible varnish is added for the
flowing, and giving elasticity.

TITO recognize or not to recognize

eminent? This is the big interna-
tional question in Washington and
other world capitals today.
On the answer depends extra
territorial rights of foreigners, and
how long the United States and
other powers can maintain their
own courts and armies in China
and control that country's fiscal
and tariff policies.
The question is acute, because
military reports predict the fall of
Pekin to the victorious Nationalist
(southern) armies. The Nationalist
already have nominal control of all
China south of the wall, except the
small Pekin- Tientsin area and parts
of Shantung province held by the
Japanese.
Chang Tso-Lin, northern war
lord and ex-ally of Japan, is re-
ported ready to retreat from Pekin
to his Manchurian stronghold,
north of the wall
Ioday the Nationalist chlefS are
meeting in their Marking capital
to consider important internal
diplomatic questions expected to
arise following the anticipated
imminent fall of Pekin.'
The Nationalist, after long wait
ing, insist upon de jure recognition
by the United States and other
powers. Usually this would be
automatic, but some powers are
hesitant, because such recognition
involves facing the long postponed
extra-territorial issues.
Japan and Turkey, in similar cir
cumstances, simply threw out the
special rights of foreigners. Must
Nationalist China be driven to this
extremity, or can a middle road be
agreed upon by diplomatic nego-
tiationS?

careful diplomatic program to
meet the present emergency. That
program is based upon. but in some
ways goes beyond. the Washington
treaties. 1t follows:
/. Recognition of the Nationalist
government whenever it controls
China south of the wall, provided
assurances are given that it will act
as representative of the people and
will respect foreign treaties until
those treaties are charged by order
ly processes.
?. Gradual rather than immediate

government demonstrates its ability

that of Great Britain and Japan.

ton to join with other powers in
the suggested punitive ultimatum
over the Marking affair tended to
make the United States somewhat
less hated and diStrusted.
The fact that Great Britain has
more special concessions than the
United States and that Japan has
won increased hatred by her pres

United States in a favored position
with the Nationalist, according to
Chinese reports.

volume Of commercial credit being used for stock
ket speculation, the banking system has tight
ened up credit
If this policy is continued, it is only question of
a relatively short time until there will be formidable
complaint from business groups demanding lower in
terest rates credit to finance production and crop
movements.
When that time comes, as it is certain to come,
the Federal system will be faced with the mo-
mentous decision of loosenng up credit to accommo-
date business and at the time encouraging an
already overdone speculative stock market, or ignor-
ing complaints and keeping tight hold on the credit
situation.
No matter what the system does it is almost GER
tainto come in for lot of criticism. But by far the
easier for the moment will be to loosen its grip
on the pursestrings of the country. and usher in a
period of abundant credit.
Effects of such a policy probably would not be
felt until after the election, but then they would be
somewhat akin to waking up after jag
So far this year the reserve board has shown a
fine independence of expedency by following neces-

The answer to this question-one of the most diff
cult with which the reserve system has been faced
may have vital bearing upon the future of the
banking system financial agency independent of
politics.

Correcting a Court

The Federal Court of Appeals in Chicago has
granted citizenship to Madame Roska -Schwimmer,
once wel-known Hungarian pacifist leader and a
cabinet minister in the liberal Karolyi government
A lower court had refused her application because
of her pacidst views the judge having asked her a
number of hypothetical questions.
"The duties of citizenship do not require the cor
rect answers to conundruns" the appeals court re-
marked
The high courts ruling is victory for justice and
conmonsense. We hold brief for pacifsts, but no
judge has right to penalize person for the opin-
ions he holds and there is nothing in the American
system that contempates that judge should be able
to assume this authority.
1t is crime to advocate the abolition of If
ever the agelong dream of universal peace is real
ized it will be because leaders like Madame Schwm-
mer have preached wars futility and cruelty, and
have sought to learn and eradicate its causes.
Madame Schwimmer may be extremist, but she
just much entitled to her views-and her right
to express them-as those who preach that is in
evitable, and that the only way to avoid it is to
build increasingly large military establishments.

Yngoslavian Earnestness

Some people don't deserve parliaments. They take
things too seriously, too earnestly.
There have been times in our Congress when
Representatives or Senators have been so wrought up
in their arguments with each other that it looked as il
they were going to jump at each others throats And
then half hour later they to be found in one

The cheers Of the crowd stayed
with Jean Lussier, changing his
career, setting up a new goal to be
attained, breeding visions of fame
and fortune, he, too, would do this
wonderful thing, but in better
way.
For seventeen years he worked
and planned, saving, experimenting,
dreaming.
1t cost him $1,000, we are told, and
many sleepless nights to make ready
for the great adventure; for a fifty
minute gamble with death; for a
few headlines in the papers, and a
hope of cash returns.

from broken leg, which he suffered

Annie Edison Taylor died in poor

Mystery of Success

With all our specializing and
philosophizing we have not agreed
on what constitutes success.
Fame often does not look the
same to the man, who has won it as
he thought it would and often does
not bring the hoped-for happiness.
Capt. Alfred Loewenstein, said to
be the third wealthiest man in the
world, drops out of an airplane
over the English Channel. His
friends say it was an accident due
to Observation-Disclosures, while French
authorities are inclined to regard
it as a case of suicide. Neither Of
these conclusions is satisfactory.
One does not like to think that
such shrewd, alert f1nancier could
so far forget himself as to push a
door open against a hundred mile
wind without realizing what he was
doing, and one certainly does not
like to think that mis- remarkable
career had brought him such little
satisfaction that he found life no
longer worth while.

and placed both of them in the sky, Calllsto be-
coming the constellation of the Great Bear and
Areas the Little Bear.
The constellation, however, was not always re-
garded as bear The ancient Babylonians called
it 1.-THE Leopard" and the Egyptians "The Dog Of
Set" Set was one of the Egyptian gods, the god Of
the inhospitable desert
The Egyptians also called the constellation "The
Jackal" In Denderah, the left bank of the Nile,
stands one of the best preserved and most beautiful
of the temples of ancient Egypt Many constella-
tions are pictured on its walls and among them is
the Jackal
The constellation is also represented as jackal
in the Rameseum, the temple built by Rameses II
on the west bank of the Nile.
The Greeks at times must have thought Of the
constellation dog since they called the north
star "Cynosura," which means "the dogs tail"
Our modern word "cynosure" comes from this
word. Mariners always turned their eyes to the
north star and therefore anything which was the
center of all eyes became known as cynosure.
