OPIUM RAIDERS
 BUSY IN CHINA
Al Persons Brought to Light in Hong Kong
 Illicit Quarters

Hong Kong U.P)-Forty-one persons, B pipes and r lamps, forming one of the largest opium dives yet discovered here, has been brought to light in a report made by the superintendent of imports and exports.
 Daily raids to check the illicit use of opium in the crowded quar- ters of Victoria and Kowloon sel- dom fail to bring in large hauls of the prohibited powder. The follow ing is translation of three notices found in a dive just raided. Wait resses were employed here-a com- paratively new departure from the regular routine.
 A-"Even to the best friends no credit is allowed here. If credit is. asked for after smoking, no con- sideration will be given.
 B-"Nowadays business competi-' ton is keen and financial difficult ties are great. The proprietor, real izing this, has chosen genuine goods of the best quality and, especially as a sacrifice, is cutting down the price to $1 for 3 mace in order to benefit his customers. Purchases made for smoking either on or off the premises are much welcomed. Night sales carry on until a. m. C-"When our friends favor us with their patronage, payment must ] be made in cash. No credit is to. be given. Will our good friends please excuse this? The place is clean and tidy; the pipes are beau- tiful and the lamps nice; tea and water are generously supplied; the assistants render good service. For one mace the charge is 35 cents. The opium is good and worthy to be smoked"
 Heroin dives are more exclusive and there are more women clients in these. They are also better fur nished with European style beds with spring mattresses occasionally found in the more modern dives.
 In the older style dives the usual Chinese type boards are used for beds. Heroin is more cOstly-1O cents for four superior or seven in- ferior pills, whereas the regular coolie spends only cents for a smoke of inferior opium. Heroin is cleaner to handle, does not cause the breath to become foul and is used by the more discriminating smokers who also have the added price to pay for the drug. A fine of 5000 recently was im- posed on an aged Chinese named Cheung Ching-fu with the alterna- tive of ten months hard labor, for the possession of sufficient heroin to make 60,0O0 pills. Another large i haul was discovered in a vegetable market basket, contraband from Macao, the Portuguese settlement three hours by boat distant from Hong Kong. There were 1860 taels of raw opium in the basket, valued at S40OO.

 It was in the 1880's that Euro beans first began to recognize tie possibilities of Africa. Britain got a head start in the scramble for territory, but France was close second, and Germany was not far bedind.
 German Figures Shown
 What these countries have done with territory acquired is shown by statistics. Germany, for instance, obtained German East Africa, Ger man Southwest Africa, Cameroons ard Togoland, comprising nearly 3JOO,0OO square miles. Yet after a quarter of a century, in 1911, Ger many's great African empire con- tained only 15,891 Germans.
 Italy's case is even more lllu- initiating. The northern part Of Eritrea includes a considerable area which is similar to the Ethiopian highlands. It, might be supposed that if Italy were going to colonize these highlands, the nation would. III Lllc COuISC Ol CilC PooU oN JNNA'' have begun with rehearsal in the Eritrean uplands.
 Clustered in City
 Statistics show, however, that on April 21, 1881, there were in Fri Urea 4,56O Europeans, including 4.188 Italians. No fewer than 3,057 were residents of the capital, As mara. The number of Italians To- cated in about 2000 square miles of the highlands most suitable for colonization was about 400.
 To take purely hypothetical case. Suppose Italy colonized the habitable, portion of Ethiopia-say. about 2O0O00 square miles-at one half the density of the density of the Transvaal and Natal, which. with 8 European population Of about six to the square mile, is by far the most densely colonized region of the African continent. This would give Italy 600000 colon ists, which is equivalent to about one and a half years increase of Italian population.
 The figures are generous, yet It appears they would not help much toward relieving Italy of "teeming millions"

 From Floods

McCook, Neb. CU.P)-A celebra- tion will be held here Oct. g to 25 commemorating recovery for the republican river valley from devas- tating floods of early summer.
 Thousands of Nebraskans, Colo radans and Kansans are expected to witness the valleys rapid recov- cry from a major disaster which took several scores of lives.

 A 24-piece band and a troop of cavalry will be sent from Fort Meade. The 17th infantry band and 300 infantrymen will come from Forts Crook and Omaha. Gov. Edwin c. Johnson of Colorado, ten- tatively has promised 24 national guard airplanes which will maneu- yer with regular army ships from Omaha.
 There will eb mammoth pa- rade in which all valley towns will participate with bands, drum corps and floats. One thousand persons will perform in Passion Play.
 Harry D. Strunk, McCook pub fisher, has received acceptanceS to attend from President Ralph Budd of the Burlington railroad; former vice president Charles G. Dawes; former secretary of state Frank B. Kellogg; J. Ray Murphy, national commander of the American Le- zion; PPresident Alfred Sloan and Harry Kettering of General Mo- tors, and several picture stars in cluding Henry Fonda and possibly Harold Lloyd, both former Nebras- kanS.
 For the first time, the Burling- ton will exhibit it's newest stream lined train, ''The Mark Twain" It will carry visitors through the val ley.

AS to shape, the person who
can visualize trend, who can
foresee a new line can look at
some of the summer hats and
see that they too are stream
lined. There's a sweep in the
higher crowns, and helmets add
to the effect with their smooth
crown and brim shaped for COM
fort.
Keeping up with the times in
comfort, in lines, in progress
and change, you'll find hats
almost revolutionized. h a IS
that have been so staid in the
past that men accepted them as
casually as they did breakfast
In the morning.
Dark Tones Good
Brown and navy are the big
news in hat colors. And even
more important is the fact that
they're keeping pace with color
in clothing and accessories, so
that a man can plan his whole
costume to be in harmony.
For instance, man will wear
a brown Baku hat with white
pugaree band to go with his
smart chocolate brown shirt
and white tie. This is a fashion
that young men especially are
expected to adopt. It sounds
particularly good with white
suits.
Navy blue hat with white band
fits into the scheme of blue
shirt, white tie and white suit,
or gray suit, with equally good
harmony, and as you can see,

Natures OlUn Tonic

What naturally increased their
food consumption was natures
own tonic of fresh air mixed
with sunshine.
On the occasional day when
the temperature was too in
clement and the babies had to
stay in their nursery, their ap-
petites dropped off and they
were temporarily fretty. It was
obvious that the confinement
irked them.
While on the one hand the
story of the quintuplets stresses
the paramount Importance of
good care, this epoch-making ex-
perience also brings out the fact
that over-carefulneSs, or cod
dling-treating babies like hot
house plants which must be
kept in overheated rooms-is to
be avoided by all mothers who
want normal, hungry, good tenn
pered, rosy-cheeked youngsters.

poor MANS FRUIT CAKE"
Dear Miss Fairfax:
BY ALINE MICHAELIS
Greeting!

Good morning, world, how good
it seems
TO find Earth lovelier than
dreams;
Across the deeps of space to see
Again the sunrise mystery!
Good morning, world, what
could I ask
That would be better than a
task
To fill the hours, and will to do
Appointed work with courage
new!
Good morning, world, how blest
that morn
Sees in each soul fresh valor
born,
Fresh faith that in all hearts
will rise
When light comes up the east
ern skies!
Good morning, world, and may
this hour
Leave with the day it's shining
dover;
There seems no goals I may not
win .a.s.Is
When I have watched the dawn
come in!

The effect-even the super
fetal effect-of air and sum
light on the Dionne babies is
particularly marked because,
like any typical premature in
FAINT, they were born with skins
of a dusky purple.
Now, for many months, their
bodies have been tinted a warm
biscuit-colored tan. That is the
effect of just a few minutes,
every other day, beneath the
beneficent beam of the sunray
lamp. We have all been wait
ing eagerly for the time when
our little ones can have even
better sunbathS outdoors.

a man with color sense and
imagination can do almost I'M
limited things with a fairly
small wardrobe, by varying hats
and accessories.
Match Your Shirt
For business, a tan or cocoa
brown stiff straw hat is excel
lent, and replaces the dark
brown high front felt you've
been wearing this spring. Or
if you want something with SIM
liar line, the high front Leg
horn is a good choice. Last
year men wore felts because
they couldn't find Straws to
carry out the proper color
harmony. but this year there
are Straws a plenty, and in the
wanted colors.
Even helmets are on sale in
color and natural linen shades,
and why not? After all, men
have learned by experience that
there is no hat more comfort
able in the tropics than a he'll
met. in fact illness is almost
inevitable without one. The sun
in Washington is a good second
to any tropical sun when it
gets really hot.
We're showing the colored
hats, for the color harmonies
mentioned above, today, and we
will try to show the other hot
weather hats as soon as pos
Sible. This year it looks like
men will have to have two or
three hats, instead of just one.

Can Be Abused

Meanwhile, one glance into
the babies faces proves what
sunlight and fresh air have
done for them.
Never was there a better adj
vertisement of the much ma
ligned winter climate of Canada,
or a better proof of value of
outings for babies even in mid
winter.
OF course, in a cold country,
you have to use common sense
about taking babies out. Winter
weather is like so many of the
other good things in life in that
it can be abused. That is no
reason for not using it to the
best advantage of little chill
dren.
We acclimatized gradually
Yvonne, Annette, Cecile, Emile
and Marie. We were careful
always, indoors or out, to keep
them from a direct draft, which
causes colds by chilling areas
of the skin.
When the wind blew the babies
were kept in the lee of ia
simple matter of moving their
carriages or fitting the hoods.

powder base is one of special
consistency that resists the
suns rays.
The majority of American
women have both of these prob
lens to contend with during the
summer months, and, therefore,
an efficacious protective cream
becomes a necessity if we want
to look our loveliest at all times.
Auburn haired Josephine
Hutchinson, fascinating young
star of Warner Brothers, has
fragile skin which requires con-
slant attention. Miss Hutchin-
son said:
81 cannot think of going out
in the Sun-Or in brisk weather,
for that matter-withOut cover
ing my face with a protective
cream before apply my make

Well, you could hunt around
a long time before you would
find a protective cream as eff
Gent for summer duty as the
one which has just come to my
desk.
First, you moisten your face
with a bit of skin tonic and
then spread this protective
cream very sparingly over your
face. The face should feel only
slightly sticky until makeup is
applied. then you needn't worry
about how you look for hours
and-as I told you above-it is
impervius to water and sun.
That makes it particularly out
standing! It comes in three
shades from which you can pick
one to match your summer skin
tone.

POOR MANS FRUIT CAKE"
'Dear Miss Fairfax:
''It must be two years ago at
Christmas time, that I ate some
very nice fruit cake, at the
house Of q niece of mine In
Chicago. She told me it was
very economical, that she got
the recipe from you.
"Since then, all kinds of sad
things have happened in my
family. My dear wife passed
away and also my sister who
kept house for us.
81 have a family Of four little
boys and they do like cake, and
I'm not averse to it myself. I
thought some Sunday, I'd turn
to and try to make one of those
fruit cakes, if you'll be good
enough to give me the recipe,
and here's hoping you will.
WHOEVER"
I shall be delighted to give
you, or anyone else who might
care for it, the recipe for Poor
Mans Fruit Cake" but as it
takes up quite a good bit Of
space please send me a stamped,
Self-addressed envelope, and I'll
send the recipe Immediately.
The cake costs about 10 cents a
pound to make.
