Terrible Responsibility"
(New York TTimes.J

From the Foreign Office at Tokyo state ment echong the made to the Council of the League of Nations by the Japanese delegate. He lsaid and so did the Foreign Office, that the League would assume "a terrible responsibility if it sought to ascertain the rights and wrongs of the action of Japanese Marines in Shanghai. MT Sato went to speak of the danger that such course might bring a war" From Tokyo lit is asserted once more that Japanese military officials are not thinking of war This seems to mean that the Japanese Government is more afraid of definition-perhaps one reached by the League of Natons-than of the thing itself Anxiety to deny the name war to what the Japanese forces have done in China is obviously due to accompanying desire to maintain that Japan has not violated her agreement, under the Kellogg treaty, to renounce war and always to seek settlement of international disputes by pacific means Thus Japan herself assumes the responsibility which most people would think sufficiently terrible of deciding that shoot ing and bombing and burning in China are pacific The last touch is to ask the neutralS to warn the Chinese not to fight!
 These verbal bubbles can hardly be urged longer with a grave face after the action of the League
 in setting up commission of inquiry, and also after the representations which have been made to Japan by Great Britain and France and the United States Indeed, assurances are now given at Tokyo that Japan will not oppose survey under League aus pices whether in Manchuria in Shanghai She may in such something actually to l her benefit. It might offer her graceful way out of situation daily becoming difficult Mill
 tary operations in China are costing much more than the estimates of the War Office. Japanese trade has suffered severely and manufacturers and exporters in Japan beginning to wonder if the game is worth the candle Then there is the un- mistakabls injury to Japan's repute in the world Threatened by turning of the moral sense and
 judgment against her. This no nation can afford recklessly to defy least of all Japan It would mean for her shouldering truly terrible responsi- bity.

Ask Your Druggist What to Do for
 VARICOSE VEINS

Butler Mauro Drug Go. or Juneau Drug Co. will tell you:
 Rub the surface gently towards the body with Moone's Emerald Oil. Makes your leg feel better even while you're doing it, and in minor cases often pings surprising relief. Then bind your leg with band age three inches wide and long enough to give the necessary sup port. Start winding the bandage from the ankle upwards-that's the way the blood flows in the veins.
 Any veins broken? Any ulcers? Emerald Oil will heal them right up Make your leg as good as new. It doesn't stain; so you needn't be afraid of getting it on your clothes. If Moone's Emerald Oil doesn't help you more than anything else you've ever tried, just bring it back and I'll gladly return your money" ]"

LEAD PoIsoNEDv DUCKS.

This is not about the hunter who when arrested by game warden for killing ducks out of season, defended himself with the old alibi that he didn't shoot them, but that the birds had died from lead poisoning. Comes queer tale from. Minnesota where literally thousands of ducks died in short space of time upon lake where they were feeding in large numbers There nothing about the birds to indicate the cause of demise and scientists were enlisted to make Investigation They found that the gizzards of the ducks contained quantity of lead. Hunters frequenting the lake had literally filled the mud on it's bottom with leaden pellets and the birds digging in for food, had eaten the lead The Investigators asserted that the evidence showed the lake bottom contained tons Of lead.

FUR STUNNED
 BY TRIM NEW
 SPRING COATS
By DIANA MERWIN Associated Press Fashion Editor)

PARIS, Feb. Is. = Early spring coats are devoid of fur and friv- olity.
 The first wraps designed for yer nal wear on the Champs ElySses and Fifth Avenue are slim and trig in cut. and fur, if used at all, is sparingly applied.
 Praeticality is the rule which gov- CTS thsir design. One-color effects and simple lines capable of being worn with many frocks indicate economical spring wraps to accom- modate poor pocketbooks.
 Smart Wraps
 Despite their simplicity the new wraps are among the sm art e S t which Paris has produced in many seasons. Trick scarves tucked under collars, broad revers and snappy belts give a distinctive chic to the effect,
 Broad shoulders are the rule for street coats, waistlines are fitted to the figure without pinching, skirts are sufficiently full to permit the free swinging walk of the modern woman. Sleeves in some models are wide at the armpit, giving a ki- mono effect to the cut.
 Navy blue and a bright rich sap phire hue are favorite colors. while beige, deep grey and 8 soft green also are seen. Mat-surfaced wools, twills and soft tweeds are the fav- orite fabrics for street wear.
 Another Model
 One of the smartest models is of soft dark blue wool designed with a suit collar, very broad revers and a skirt having an inverted box pleat in the back. It is snapped to the figure with a narrow blue leather belt.
 Another model of grey wool has a soft roll collar with a brilliant red scarf protruding underneath and tucked into the belt.
 Three-quarter coats to wear with matching wool dresses also are making a bid for spring popularity. Trig straightline blue wool models with blue frocks trimmed in white pique and dark green and white tweed designs to accompany match ing frocks are among the offerings in the new length.

No Confiscation.
(Boston News Bureau


 Long ago Chief Justice Marshall declared the power to tax is the power to destroy For while back it seemed that this might come true as to at least part of the production of electrical energy.
 A flat rate of a half-cent kiowatt hour was might theoretically raise $35OOOOOOO year. As a matter of fact it would largely be destructive since it would amount literally to terrific taxation on some of the electricity generated.
 Much of the current sold to large-scale users now commands not much over a cent kowatt hour-which would involve a 50 per cent tax Con siderable is sold at half-cent less, which would the prohibitive levy of 100 per cent or That would simply drive such large users either to producing their own current or turning to such competitors as oil, gasoline, gas coal.
 That has now been formally recognized at Wash ington in the declaration by the acting chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee that such a flat tax would be "confiscatory," and that there fore he would propose a per cent to 10 per cent consumption tax on current used. The contrast as between 5G10 per cent consumption and 50@100 per cent is self-evident. The former may mean live and let live; the latter might mean death. The new burden consumers at per cent Ito 10 per cent excise percentage would not be staggering With the average household bill around $2.75 month it would mean at most less than la cent day in time of Treasury need
 The acting chairman-wllo once served the foreign debt commisson-truly says that in pleasant a task There must be new taxes. some of them unpopular excise levies; and almost everybody thinks the other fellow" should bear them.
 It is at least refreshing relief to see a clear case of possible eonfscation officially recognized as such

Physic the bladder as you would

After four days if you are not re-
'lieved of getting up nights go back
and get your money. BU-KETS con-
taining buchu leaves, juniper oil,
etc, acts pleasantly and effectively
on the bladder similar to, castor oil
on bowels. If you are bothered with
