Complications Possible.

OF course the occupation of Shang-
hal could produce very important in
ternational complications. Shanghai
is a city Of Scmc $500 900 inhabitants.
1t is divided into three distinct sec
tionS-the international settlement,
where all the foreigners, with the eX-
Ception of the French, live; th.e French
concession, which is regarded by the
French as French territory and ruled
in accordance, and the Chinese city
proper There are some 1900 900 men
living in these foreign concessions.
The international settlement is gov
erned by an international municipal
council composed of six Britishers,
three Japanese, one American and five
Chinese No change in the status OF
that settlement can be brought with
out the unanimous consent of all the
interested powers 1t is unlikely that
the japanese would want to interfere
at present at least with that part OF
the city. But the Chinese arsenal,
which the Japanese are threatening
TO occupy. is on the edge Of the in
ternational settlement, and 1t is quite
likely that if there is any fighting be-
tween the Chinese troops and the Jap
anese landing party, the international
settlement, which is garriSoned by some
5000 British troops and some 1900
Americans, might be affected. For this
reason, the interested powers appear
to be extremely alarmed at the prospect
Of a conflict between the Chinese and
the japanese military forces.

Five Famous Poets.
SHAKESPEARE.

VERY year thousands Of persons
l. visit q town in England. They
come from Canada, from Aus
IL tralia, from South Africa and
from the United States. Most
of them have other reasons for visiting
England: but all are happy to see this
little town.
The place is Stratford- Avon. and
it is noted as the birthplace Of william
Shakespeare.
There is a building in the town which
Is pointed out to visitors as the house
in which Shakespeare was born; and
near the River Avon Is q church which
rises above his grave. The church was
there before the grave. stone on the
floor marks the place of his burial.
Shakespeare was married at the age
of 10, but his marriage did not prove
happy. He left Stratford-on-Avon, and
went to London.
Legend says that after reaching Lon
don he found work holding horses
for persons who had driven or ridden
to the theaters. Later he became
which means that he told actors Gin a
Whisper what to say when they forgot
their lines.
The time came when Shakespeare
wrote plays for the actors, and it was
In this field that he won his great fame.
The lines were in blank verse. They
did not rhyme" but some of his
phrases and sentences are among the
most beautiful ever composed in English.
Shakespeare is one of the small num-
Der of men of genius who have won
large financial reward. His plays proved
popular during his lifetime, and brought
returns to him. Not only did he write
plays, but he also acted in them. For
years he was the head of a company
Of actors, which made tours Of England.
1.-The Tempest" Hamlet" Romeo
and Juliet" and 1.-THE Merchant of
Venice" are few of his famous plays.
In addition to his plays, he wrot

smart and clever. Yes, sir, she
did so. why work when you can get
others to do the work for you?" she
would say. II never do. If I can use
the nest some one else has built why
should I go to all the trouble OF build
ing one? I just won't do 1t. There are
plenty of my neighbors who love to
work. so Just let them do the work Tor

So Sally Sly had imposed on her
neighbors, as you know. She had left
one egg in the nest of Chippy the Chip
ping Sparrow. She had left one in the
nest of Red-eye the Vireao. She had
left one in the nest of Sunshine the Yel-
low Warbler and one in the nest OF
Little Friend the Song Sparrow. She
had been very sly about it. Not once
had she been seen doing it. The owners
of those nests had known nothing of 1t
until they had found the eggs, bigger
than their own.

Sally Sly had kept away from the Old
Orchard. She had gone gadding about
with some of her own kind on the
Green Meadows and in the Old Pasture.
Apparently she never gave SO much as
single thought to those eggs. To have
seen her you would have thought that
she had forgotten them completely. But
she hadn't No. sir, she hadn't. One
morning she slipped away from her
friends in that clever, sly way of hers.
I'll just have look at those babies
Of mine. for by this time those eggs
must have hatched," she said to her
self. "I'll just make sure that they are
being well cared for. know they are,
but there is nothing like making sure"
So, in her usual sly way she slipped
in among the bushes along the old stone
wall, where she was not likely to be
noticed, and from where she could watch
what was going on among the trees.
She saw Chippy and Mrs. Chippy work.

Sally Sly stole over to the tree and took
a hasty peep in the nest. One baby was

THAT one is mine" thought Sally
proudly "He certainly is getting good
care. If the rest of mine are faring as

She hurried away before the return
of her baby's foster parents, for she
didn't want to be seen near the nest.

Your Baby and Mine
Details of Problem"
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

A LII children seem appetiteless. If
~ their mothers statements are to
~ be trusted. Very few mothers
4 \ who write me admit that their
babies or children eat heartily.
1t is my guess that mothers expect their
children to consume more food than
they actually need. If the child Is al
ways urged to eat more than he desires,
his distaste for food and for the task of
eating is aggravated. Appetitelessness
becomes inevitable.
If less food than the child desires is
set before him, he will consume it with
eagerness. That "one more mouthful,"
which is so much part Of the mothers
desire but not the child's, often arouses
the child's belief that eating is an
enormous satisfaction to his mother, but
not so much so to him.
Mrs. c. K. says: II want to seek ad-
vice about my daughter who is two years
old. She has been puny from birth and
I wish you could help me with her.
She has no appetite whatever She is
supposed to drink one quart of milk
day, but doubt If she drinks one quart
in six months. She eats very little solid
food and naturally looks puny. She is
about two pounds underweight. She
has colds all Winter long and vomits
constantly when she is sick. Can you
recommend a tonic for her? Do you
think she will outgrow this condition?
She Is very active child and is out
doors all day long and gets IL to IL
hours sleep each day. Please advise me
what Is best for her?"
The question here is, what does she
eat? Sne doesn't drink milk and eats
hardly any solid food, yet she is only
two pounds underweight, not serious
amount.
Your letter leaves me confused. In
fact, it really contains no information
about the child at ALL What are her
present weight and birth weight? Let
me Judge whether she Is ''underweight."
Outline her days diet. Let me Judge
whether she eats hardly anything" +"
When does she sleep or rest In daytime?
When does she go to bed at night?

aged and the food that she is offered.
1t is impossible to suggest tonics.
Medicines must be advised by a doctor
for the condition that needs remedying.
There may be nothing at all wrong with
the child's appetite except that she
isn't being fed correctly or at the right
hours or is constantly asked to eat more
food than she wants. If am to be Of
the least help, I'll have to know every
thing about the child that you can tell
me. Simply stating that the child is
puny and appetiteless gives me nothing
to work upon.

He declared failure to solve the re-

maintenance Of trade relations, but
the continued existence of civilization
itself in China and Japan. In both
countries, he stated, reactionaries have

out all differences and solve the prob
