though this be Monday-slips OF paper
were passed around by the stewards for
signatures for a sukiyaki-pronounced
"skiaki"-dinner on deck Saturday eve
ming Our group, and in fact virtually
the whole f1rst-class cabin, signed up
for It, We did not at first realize the
purpose which later became evident.
Shortly after lunch yesterday-remem-
Der. that was Saturday, though this
is called Monday-the stewards began
to "set the table" on "B" deck, the
main promenade, behind the glass wind
shields forward. This was done by
spreading down straw mats, the typical
Japanese mats, two inches or SO in
thickness and invariably three feet by
six in dimensions. Two of these made
one table" for four persons. In the
center was placed a ''stove," charcoal
brazier with a side hole for heating
water. At the corners were put cush-
ions.
Meanwhile other stewards were dis
mantling the dining saloon, taking up
the tables, eventually rigging up a
stage, hanging decorations and cur
tainS, until in the course of couple
of hours the great hall was transformed
into a veritable theater capable of seat
ing 500 or more. Then appeared great
that the stewards would give a wa
rieties entertainment" at 8 O'Clock, with
some hints as to the features.
Event a Huge Success.
The sukiyaki dinner was a huge sue
cess. We westerners followed the Jap
anese example and removed our shoes
before we sat down cross-legged, on
the cushions or on ingenious little stools
of rattan and steel for the benefit of
the novices-these being the invention
of our own purser. The slices Of beef,
bamboo sprouts, mushrooms, onions, soy
curd, fine spaghetti and meat "stock"
were put into the pans and soon be-
gan to stew and steam, with savory
vapor floating off to whet the appetites
of the diners. Chop sticks were dis
tributed and soon began to play. Hot
saki was poured into tiny cups like salt
dishes, without handles, of course. Then,
when the meat course had gone on
for some time wooden tubs were opened
and cooked rice was brought forth.
And next pickles and condiments.
There was much grooming and grunt-
ing when the westerners arose. The
fasteners, however, were graceful in
their rising as in their sitting. At the
next table" to Us was DR.. Tagore, who

ENORMOUS CHANGE
NECESSARY TO TURN
OUT new CHEVROLET

Detroit, Mich, Feb. 15.-The first
comprehensive answer yet obtained to
the question, "How did Chevrolet sue
coed in effecting one of the most
mammOnth turnOverS in industrial
hlstory?" was revealed here today.
Since November when Chevro-
let announce; that it would discOn-
tInue producing four cylinder cars
@nd would p-oGuee instead, a six in
the price range of the four, specula-
ton in automobile circles was rife as
to how this was to be accomplished.
Other manufacturers who had at
/ tempted turnOvers had required as
long as is months TO two years to
swing back into capacity production.
There were many skeptics.
The answer as it now comes TO
light can be epitomized in a single
word-'foresignt' The Chevrolet
Six, which is today speeding over the
highways In thousands, was born four
years ago. AT that time General No
tors began considering, with an open
mind, whether q SIX cylinder car could
be produced to sell in the price range
Of a four. Shortly afterward Chevro-
let engineers designed the first of the
100 engines which were to precede the
on which today powers the new Chew
I rolet One by one these engines were
tested, redesigned, improved, torn
down. From each experiment the
engineers were learning.
Then, one day last May, after g
, million miles of test driving, and -four

ed themselves as satisfied that they
had perfected a six cylinder engine
Of exceptional merit Meantime Fish

the sensational new engine. And thel

SHERFFS ASK MANY
STATUTE CHANGES
Want Mileage Allowance Expanded;
Seek State Finger Print Bureau.
Elect Officers.

Helena, Mont. - Montana sheriffs
want half a dozen changes IN present
legislation or new statutes affecting
their work. They propose an allow
ance of 10 cents a mile for rail trips,
1915 cents where an automobile is
used and that the mileage be allowed
for the round trip. They are now,
however, asking for mileage for tax
ing prisoners to penal or corrective
institutions or for returning prison
er from another state. They ask that
mileage be allowed for each person
transported. They ask amendment of
present laws to relieve a sheriff from
liability for making attachments.
The association also went on record
as favoring an increase in salaries
for establishment of a state finger
print bureau and for registration Of
foreign cars. Opposition was vOiceC
toward any change in administration
of the motor vehicle license law.

Washington, Feb. 11-Large pur-
chases of arms reported being made

with the most important features OF
the newer types.
Without abandoning entirely the
principles of the old low compression
low speed motors IN favor OF the ex-
tremesy high speed, high compression
type, Ford engineers have developed a
medium speed, medium compression
motor that has proved itself much
better adapted TO the needs OF a light
car. A wide variety of uses under
all sorts of road conditions and IN
widely varying climates are htus serv-
ed more satisfactorily than would be

In the body for the development OF

cipal causes Of intestinal poisoning
are prolapsus Of the intestines OF
weakness Of the intestinal muscles
which produce constipation. The
bowels should move two or three
times daily. or as much as a move

movement daily Is never enough un-
less one Is living on only one meal

IN some cases even where there are
two or three bowel movements daily.
there viii be q large amount Of in

dition the colon will reabsorb vast
quantities Of toxic material which
must again pass through the blood
before It can Be eliminated. If in ad-

DANGERS or RnEvMATlslG

DANGERS or RHEUMATISM
It has been often stated By promi-
nent medical authorities that rheu-
matism is the greatest menace to the
heart health of M children and
adolescents. Besides this. even Il
there is partial recovery during child
hood, there is liable to be still more
trouble when the child grows up to
maturity, both from the rheumatism,
or heart troubles. and also from other
| ailments which are either produced
by the rheumatism or from the cause
which originally created the rheu-
matte condition.
AS dangerous as rheumatism may
be, the average physician has had
very little success In discovering the
causes. and equally poor results In
treating cases. Most medical text
books are very vague on the subject
of what causes rheumatism, and
many learned doctors suffer from
various rheumatic disorders.
Many doctors have taught that
meat eating Is entirely resppnsi-
BILE; others that infections, such rs
tcnsilitis. we're the principal causes.
It is really ridiculous how few ply.
sicians have yer gotten down to rec
ognizing tie primary source OF the
rheumatic diathesis. Here Is . great
secret which is simple enough. but It
may be q new viewpoint to many Of
my readers. including both the doc
tors and the layman-a great cause
of all rheumatic disorders will be
found in intestinal poisoning. This
is the one primary cause. and must
be considered first before the SEC

such causes as damp climates and cx-
posures to bad weather. Improper

Editorial Comment
The Humble Schoolmaster
aomaha World-Heraldl

0SAS0AA0 W40t
James A. Campbells rise from humble country school
master to leadership Of one Of the countrys largest steel
concerns was recounted Wednesday at q banquet in hon-
or Of the 75-year-old president Of the youngstown
Sheet and Tube company.
In . large. general way this news item Is no doubt
substantially accurate. But the writer Of 1t went far
wide Of the mark when he attempted to adorn 1t b.
referring to Mr.. Campbell Is having been . humble
country s~choolmAster.
Humble. forsooth! What call had the old-fashioned
country schoolmaster to Be humble? He was the one
educated person IN 2 community. hall Of which might
be ~iliterate. He could read and write and cipher and
quote Caesar and Horace. Instead Of being humble he
was consciously superior. He maintained that superior
iy with quiet dignity, which shouldn't BE mistaken for
humility.
His own personal realm. the schoolroom. was small.
but he was Q car In 1t. He ruled It, II not with Q rod Of
iron. ct least with one Of birch Or hickory. The writer
who heaved In that altogether superfluols humble
evidently never sat under . country schoolmastef. His
tyranny ended perhaps at the schoolhouse door, but
even 50 humility did not take It's place. In the COM
muntty q large he was looked up 10 and respected. ~
In the schooroom he was feared.
There may have been exceptions TO the rule. but you
can't ever make Us believe that = Campbell WAS one
Of them.
