League Told
of Far East
Difficulties

Chinese migration into Manchu-
ria is one Of the great mass move
ments Of history" said Mrs. james
w. Morrison in a talk on Conditions
in China Today" Wednesday be-
fore a group of the indianapolis
League Of Women Voters.
Mrs. Morrison, who recently has
returned from the Institute Of Pa
ciflc Relations, held in Shanghai,
discussed the basis of the Sino-
Japanese difficulties.
Russia always looms as great
uncertainty in the background, Mrs.
Morrison said. AT present, she is
occupied with the flve-year plan,
and is maintaining conciliatory rela-
tions with the rest of the world, so
that money from these markets will
enable her TO continue her project.
But when her economic home is in
order, what then?
Red Danger Mounting
There is grave danger that China
will throw her lot with Russia, ="
Mrs. Morrison continued, especially
since Chang Kai-Shek's resigna-
ton, and the probable election of
HUI Han Min, himself neutral, but
with Eugene Chen and Wong Chin
Wei, Communists, as powers be-
hind the throne"
1T is a tragedy that the liberal
party in control of the government
did not realize the severe tension
in Manchuria and submit the Jap
anese grievances to the world court
when there was a possibility that
the legal snarls might be straight
ened out" she said.
Were the law clear, 1t might have
bean possible to solve the more diff
ficult problems of policy and
strategy involved without recourse
to force"
Investment Over Billion
Manchuria, according to Mrs.
Morrison, is the one great open
space in the far east not over
populated and where immigration is
possible. 1t is needed by both ia
pan and China, both greatly over
populated, as an outlet for surplus
population, as a market, and a
source Of food and raw materials
supply.
She explained the vaguely word
ed treaties between China and ia
pan in regards to railroad and oc-
cupation rights of the japanese,
who have studied the resources of
the country, scientifically developed
them and applied them in intelli-
gent experimentation in agriculture
and industry.
The japanese investment in Man
churia, Mrs. Morrison said, amounts
to more than a billion dollars.

BILE of that?

BILE OF that?
The trouble with many wives is
that they start trying to reform
their husbands before the honey
moon is over. When a man finds
that he has married a missionary
instead of a wife, the storm signals
are up! When he learns that his
wife is determined to turn him into
something that he is not, never has
been, and does not wish to be, he
resists her efforts with all his
strength.
A man like your husband is a
simple creature. His behavior is
determined by his own desires and
not by what the neighbors want. He
does what he wants to do for no
better reason than that he wants
to do it. He is a harmless, if rather
selfish, animal who worries little
about the effect of his actions on
others. And woe betide the woman
who interferes with his freedom!

As you observe your favorite nm actresses have you noticed that al- most all of them have beautiful arching eyebrows?
 There are many famous faces that have won beauty or distinc- ton by an eyebrow-or, to be more correct, by two eyebrows. Have you given your own brows sufficient attention?
 The first rule in beautifying the eyebrows is that they should be neat. Fortunately the plucked brow that looked like fine pencil line and was achieved by tortuous hours with the tweezers Is out or vogue. It was always grotesque and often hideous.
 Although 1t Is an error to pluck your eyebrows it is important 10 keep their lines trim and shapeiy and to do this you will need to annlv the tweezers Only those hairs which are out of line should he removed. If the brows come together over your eyes snip out inc hairs which form this bridge. ff tKev grow down too far at the outer corner of the eye you may want to shorten them.
 once you have the natural me of the brows neat and straight you can do much to accent1ate them with a little artificial color ing. You may use an eyebrow pencil or the same blacking you use on your lashes. This is mat ter of personal choice. some in dividuals look better with brown coloring on the brows and others with black. Try both shades be- fore YOU decide which is most be- corning. There is no fixed rue. lust because your hair Is brown YOU cannot be sure that brown pencil will look better on your brows than a black .ne. h.
 Sit before your mirror and try drawing your eyebrows severai different ways. You will be sur nrised how these changed nnes will alter your presence. Of course if is A mistake to try to produce an arch entirely different from the natural eyebrow.

part of this is true; that is, the teachers would have a greater op- portunity for individual worK. Whether the children would learn twice as fast or not depends en- tfrely upon their respective I. 0. ratings, and their desire to learn.
 There is little doubt that teach CTS have too many pupils in room the way things are now, put there does not seem to be any hope of any immediate remedy on that score because of the huge in- crease in cost. Taxes would be heavier and dear knows in most places they are bad enough now.
 A Minimum of Learning
 Let us take jump from the hypothetical pros and cons of de- creasing classes and increasing teachers and consider the remark that a business man made to me one day this summer Said he, As [ look back and realize what an opportunity I had to learn and how I skinned through school doing as little as I could get by with. I think whas young fool was. could have learned ten times as much as I did while had the chance, as a few of the other fellows l knew had sense enough to do." This is the history or most of us.
 No teacher whether she has 10 ar 50 pupils can do much more than direct their studies. She can explain and enlarge on texts, she can help solve problems, she can advise about study, and hear reel tations. but when it gets down to eases she cannot assimilate knowl- edge for her scholars. That Is the responsibility of the child himseH'
 Home Influence Important
 I am not discouraging the idea of smaller schools, but merely putting forth the argument that iesser classes might be a magic road to learning and they might not. If children have real inter est in getting knowledge believe the greatest spur to be at home Parents who can take time to. in- terest themselves in what their boys and girls are studying VIII find that interest and ambition contagious. Text books are mere outlines of all the real fattenihs knowledge to be gained.
 Interest Is the key to study.

 "So should l." Liane agreed, with heartfelt emphasis.
 Then they both forgot Shane McDermid completely.
 On a day two years later two charmingly dressed young wo- men came into a big room with a polished floor. A bevy of laughing girls stood around the tea table, presided over by handsome wo- man whose once-blond hair showed streaks of gray.
 Please give me some tea," the one in blue pleaded of the woman behind the big urn. Her tone made the other look up suddenly.
 "Muriel Ladd!" she began, half laughing in her surprise.
 The girl in blue began to chat ter amimatedly. "I think this is the most marvellous idea," she cried. Eve been reading about it in the papers. Mrs Waring, one of your trustees, is a friend of mine. She asked me to come"
 I'm so glad you did," Cass Bar rett said warmly. She relinquished her place to one of the girls and said, Let me show you some of our rooms. They're lovely. I'm house mother, you know, and may I'm betetr as a house mother than 1 was as an actress.
 Muriel protested but the other woman pointed ruefully to the streaks of gray in her hair.
 'I was out of the ingenue class by miles," she said. ''and it's rather nice not to hear You're not the type from a casting office any more. Although" she smiled, "I still am an old fire horse in this at least. I do get excited when our girls put on AS You Like It. and I smell grease paint once more"
 She led her guests from cubicle to cubicle. The rooms were mira cles of neatness and Ingenuity. There was charm. too, in the chintz draperies, the little maple beds. No dormitory stiffness here. It was place any girl might like to call home.
 Muriel praised everything. Then, she asked with interest. "How are the young marrieds? I've been west with my husband and haven't had news of them in months.
