Japanese occupation of non-treaty
territory in Manchuria is neces-

General Minami reviewed the

"Year after year China has
been embrOiled in civil wars
and disOrderly politics, resulting
in continual conflicts between

1 She listened. No, it was her mother and stepfather. They were still downstairs. Not so very late. Beryl looked at the radium dial clock by her bed. A quarter after 10. Irene had not come home to dinner. A quarter after 10 wasn't so late for dinner party. Maybe she was in mo, Irene wasn't so quiet as that | at quarter after 10.
 What Beryl was thinking of, and unable to decide if she feared or hoped for it, was that Tommy might walk past the house when he closed the theater and find Irene with Prentiss.
 Then she heard Prentiss' car drive up before the house and stop. ever stopped there. Had she not been listening she could not have heard it. A half hour passed, and Irene did not come in. Were they going to sit there all night?
 Irene did not mind if they did. She had the situation perfectly | in hand at her own front door. A girl could be less diffident in the shadow of the parental rooftree. And she was beginning to think she might have overplayed the modesty pose. Prentiss hadn't got very far with his advances. Had he been frightened off?
 He wasn't indifferent. That was plain enough. And there had been
 moments at the inn when he sat across the narrow pine table from her and she could see his face be- | tween the two big wax candles,
 dripping contentedly in their pew
 ter holders, that she had thought
 he was about to say something im-
 portant to her. He had checked
 himself. Was it the shortness of their acquaintance? That was something she couldn't help, of
 course. It would be risk to try to make him see that she didn't mind. She had tabbed him as more or less conventional and wasn't going to forget it.
 In a way she was glad that he was like that. It would make it easier for her to weigh his attitude toward her. It is different. the way girl accepts conventionality and the way a man accepts it. He never wants it so much for himself as for the girl he is most interested in. M | Irene had to be sure of things with Prentiss before she would know what to do with Tommy. Something would have to happen soon between her and Prentiss if it were going to happen at all. She'd have to know what it was lea ding too, because she didn't want to lose Tommy and then lose Pren- tiss too.
 She could get some fun out of going with Prentiss for while but eventually she would have to ari- swer to Tommy and that might be serious.
 The next time Prentiss took her out she would see to it that they went some place where there was dancing. Irene knew that men en- joyed dancing with her. Didn't they always finish by calling her pet names-all except the kids names such as Sugar Pie, Baby Doll. Cuddles and even Pidgy?
 Would 1t help If Prentiss kissed her good night? Could she let him do that and not spoil things?
 She turned provocatively lifted face toward him as they sat in the car and sighed: Well. goodnight, I've had lovely time"

"It is no wonder that cherries are such a popular fruit. Just see what can be done with them. There is cherry pie. roly poly. conserve, jam, and that best of all jams-four in one" Lois spoke with enthusiasm, for her four-in-one jam had made a tremendous impression upon her in- laws. She always served 1t when they were coming to dinner or tea. Here is her recipe-one quart sour red cherries. one quart gooseberries. one quart entrants and one quart red raspberries. Add equal amount of sugar. After cherries have been pitted. 'gooseberries head and tailed, entrants stemmed and raspberies picked over, put in preserving kettle. Cook until thick. Another favorite with all her guests were the pickled cherries. These called for no cook ing. Here is her recipe:
 Use dark red cherry like a Mo- rello. Wash, pick out any soft or obviously wormy ones. Leave about one inch of stem on each cherry. Pack in well sterilized jars. putting a generous layer of powdered sugar between a deep layer of cherries, Prepare a spiced vinegar, putting into one quart cider vinegar these spices one tablespoon cinnamon, one teaspoon allspice, one tablespoon white mustard seed, one teaspoon whole cloves and one teaspoon salt. Boil, cool and when cold pour over cherries in jar. Seal and set away for a few weeks.

Sarah turned her face quickly as she saw Marion Banning coming from the elevator. Another car was ready to go up, so she stepped in' still keeping her face averted. Marion Banning needn't know that she had been talking to her husband.
 Sarah slept late the next morn ing. When she went down to the coffee shop for orange juice, cinna- mon toast and coffee. it was almost noon. She felt better Gayer. The gypsy red scarf, knotted at her throat, the audacious angle of the shining red hat, gave her courage She reflected that she had gone through the tragedies of the night before dressed for laughter, not tears.
 She wasn't even surprised when Marion Banning took table near hers. Mrs Banning was dressed In black with long golden ear rings and heavy golden chain. Her nails were lacquered brilliant crimson. Sarah shrank little when she noted them. They were too theatrical. She won- dered idly why it was that women insisted on that barbaric touch, She remembered a story In n popular magazine, in which an editor had taken q conoensus of opinion on the subject Of crimson nall polish. And every man questioned had voted against it.
 But once In while one woman could be charming with m atrocious charm. Marion Banning probably could,

 They came up the stairs and into her room on tiptoe but when they saw her fully dressed and not 'sick abed," they became their natural selves and told her. Gosh, they d l been scared to death she wasn' t goin' to sing on the radio any more and they'd been writin' song for her"
 Beryl asked to hear the song. In- stead it was brought forth on a piece of paper.
 Beryl was heart and soul in hum ming tunes for it (the pain in her throat seemed forgotten) when hey mother came up with her milk and egg and shooed the boys out of the house.
 "The dirt they traipsed in!" Mrs Everett complained. Beryl did not hear her-she was on her way back to the kitchen-so was left to en- joy her thoughts of the boys visit without regret.
 Their song was funny heavy heart throb stuff that they wouldn't have admitted to in real life for worlds - but they had helped her wonderfully. She didn't feel lonely and helpless now and 1t was something to know that when Tommy needed her sympathy as he would some day, she could give it to him.
 To stand by and watch Irene playing with him was like seeing him go to war. When he came back she would bind up his wounds. Suppose Tommy would have to bear his suffering all alone!
 q wouldn't want him to go through that" she told herself In spirit of sacrifice.
 After that-and remembering the affection of her gang-she relaxed and such thoughts as she had were uplifting and soothing. She fell asleep but awoke when she heard a noise. Was it Irene coming Tn !?

Excerpts from a government bull

Excerpts from a government bull
 letin:
 "All babies should be placed in the sun for part of very sunny day. The suns rays should reach the skin directly, not through glass or clothing. The sun bath should grad
 ually be heightened, beginning with | ten minutes on the arms and legs
 and increasing gradually to one hour twice daily, if possible. The face may be exposed if the head is turned so t that the eyes are not directly toward the sun. In spring, summer, and fall sun baths may be given out doors. In very hot weather they should be given before II or after 3 o'clock. In winter it may be best to give them indoors in front of an
 open window. The baby must lie in a patch of sunlight that comes through the open space"
 These are very general rules. The
 way to, suit the sun bath to the in
 dividual baby and the weather is to
 ask the doctor.
 Baby Walkers should not be
 used; babies should not be encour- aged to walk until they are quite
 ready for it. Too early walking may
 cause bowlegs; also the baby is held too long q time in confined space
 and in a more or less rgid position
 and Is easily overtired."
 "The choice of a vehicle is a mat ter of great importance. The folding
 cart, which may be taken on street cars, permits mother and baby to
 go out many times when 1t would not otherwise be possible, but such carts should be used only for the purpose for which they are intended.
 namely, to convey the baby short distances, and not as pleasure ve- hicles: nor should the baby be left to sit in one of these small carts for
 any great length of time .. Many
 so close to the ground that the child is propelled only through lower ing stream of germ- laden dust off the street into his face. The best ve-
 hicle is nt least two feet high. For the baby who sits up, n safety strap
 which fastens about his waist gives
 more protection than the ordinary carriage strap"
 Window screens should be SO care. fully fastened that there ia no pos- sibility of pushing them out.
