 Harbin, Manchuria, Sept 23- Any idea of an autumn attack" by Japan on Soviet Russia has been abandoned here, chiefly because Japan is in no position to make such an attack even if she wanted to.
 Floods, scarcity of food, and ruined crops have cost the Japan ese millions of yen. The entire SeipingaiTaonan railway is under water and will be useless for strat- egic purposes for some time to come. Floods destroyed all Jap anese war supplies transported to Sansin and Fugdin.
 Nobody knows hom much the Japanese have lost, but 1t runs into millions. It is practically impos- sible to communicate by rail with northern Manchuria. If Japanese troops moved into the region their food supplies would have to be- imported.

James Gillis, 53, of Fort Hill avenue and James Leon, 21, of the same street were defendants in police court this morning on the charge of wilfully damaging state property. Both were given sus- pended sentences by Judge T. V. Meyer and incidentally warned that while few people would find fault with them securing the woods for dry kindling they must respect the law prohibiting the chopping down of green trees. Both men claimed that the wood they had collected was dry.
 The arrests of the two men were brought about by Harold Hotch- kiss, who is attached to the state forestry department. Testimony was offered indicating that the two men were found in possession of wood secured on land known as Black Rock State park in the vicinity of the Thomaston road.
 Both men admitted collecting wood for the winter and explain ed that 1t was a case of necessity with them. Both carried axes to

really possible to compare one
sorrow with another in a fair

his sorrow is the worst. For

The Deepest Sorrow
The death of someone near

the deepest kind. And if it
be a parent-particularly a

Illness or a physical accident
may suddenly bring on great
sorrow and anxiety. To wait,

A Christmas fashion this year
is to give something to wear.
It's in line with the very prac-
tical ideals that we have all de-
veloped, and it's a grand idea,
for who wouldn't rather have a
new dress than a useless gew-
gaW that we tire of in no time
at all. So we've shopped for
dresses that will make marVe-
lous gifts, the latest thing as
far as fashion goes, inexpensive,
and available in enough GUAM
tity so that many of us can rush
in at the last moment and pick
one up for gift. They're day

to add that another good eve

beaded or sequin separate

1t Might Have Been Worse
Therefore we can not say
that we ourselves have suf-

What may be set down as
an. undeniable fact, however, is
that, whatever your sorrow may
be, 1t surely might be worse!
Indeed, it often happens that
an individual does not know
how he is going to meet a debt
due on certain date. He

Advice to the LoveIorn

Left Him When He Los

Left Him When He Lost Job
Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am a bachelor of Is and in
love with a beautiful girl of
%. When I was working and
earning a good salary, she
thought 1 was wonderful; and
now that I am unemployed,
she has left me for another
fellow. 1t seems that I care
for the girl as much as ever.
1 went with this girl several
months steady" N.
A great many young ladies
with gold-digging urges act like
this beautiful girl of %.
They are all described as
beautiful by the young men
they have left flat. And con-
sidering this quality of the gold
digging sisterhood, one recalls
that homely maxim: Hand
some is as handsome does" If
this girl had been less favored
do you think you would have
taken her desertion so much
to heart? If you get a job
tomorrow, she'd probably come
fluttering back, but honestly,
my dear young friend, would
she be worth taking back?

He Listens To Gossip
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I have known a young man
for two years. who went to
night school with me, and con-
stantly asked me to go steady
with him. After giving up all
my other friends, 1 agreed. Sud
denly he stopped calling on me,
and when 1 met him sometime
later he told me one of his
friends had told him I did not
go with any one man long. He
had asked me to marry him as
soon as times got better.
What do you think of a man
of this type, who believes his
friends instead of me?
F. L. S.
Let me congratulate you on
escaping a young man of this
type-one who. with wide open
ears. listens to every whisper
of gossip. Think what life with
such person would be Charge
up the experience to profit
rather than loss, and the next
time a young man suggests
that you give up all your
friends for his sweet sake,
think twice before you agree.

The Subsequent Double

Ine subsequent Double
Ordinarily an informatory
double comes when an opponent
has bid before the doubler has
an opportunity to call. Some
times the doubler himself opens
the bidding. An adverse de-
claration is made, and the origi-
nal bidders partner has not bid,
then a double by the original
bidder may be made, provided
the bid doubled is not as great
as Ono Trumps, four of a ma
jor suit, or five of minor suit.
This double is informatory. It
asks the doubler's partner to
support the declaration of the
doubler, or to bid his own best
suit, provided the doubler's part
ner cannot defeat the doubled
contract for greater gain than
can result from bidding.
The reason for terming this
particular informatory double a
subsequent double" is because
the double comes after the
doubler has first bid-not be-
fore he has bid as happens in
the more common, form of in
formatory double.
