Brave Collie.

The Associated Press reports from
Providence the story of brave collie
whose example might be cited for the
encouragement OF human contempo-
raries. Going yachting with his master,
the dog disappeared overheard in Mar

Yet, fifteen hours later he reached shore,
landing seven miles from the point st
which he went into the water.
OF course, the collie cannot tell of
his experience. The detailed account
Of the ordeal through which he passed
must be surmised by an appreciative
public. But there can be no question
about the fortitude of the dog in his
struggle toward safety. He needed
something more than mere physical
strength for the attainment of his goal

China's View of Neutrality,

An amusing feature of the Sino-Jap-
anese situation-if anything can pos
sibly be amusing with reference to war
fare-is statement by foreign Office
spokesman at Marking regarding the
position Of the United States in respect
declared that China is apprehensive
about the neutrality policy of this coun-
try, while appreciating the American
desire to remain a neutral and impartial
power. He continued
China fears an indiscriminate treat
ment Of China and Japan would react
favorably to the aggressor, who is su-
perior in material strength. Alleged
impartiality by America would be parti-
ality in reality of the most disastrous
kind. China would be constrained to
view application of the American neu-
trallty legislation to the Sino-Japanese
hostilities as a distinctly unfrlendly act"
In other words, If America remains
neutral it will in fact be unneutral. If
it does not favor China in the matter
OF arms supplies and in other ways it
will not be neutral but partisan. This
is somewhat characteristic bit of Far
Eastern reasoning. 1t is one of those
things that battles Western understand
ing of the Asiatic mentality.
1t is said that in China it is not good
form to discharge a servant. If he is
unfaithful or too liberal to himself with
squeeze" in handling of domestic ac-
counts he must not be fired. For that
would cause him to lose face" or re-
pute. So the proper method Of separat-
ing him from the domestic establishment
is to inform him that his father, or his
mother, is i'll and requires his at
tendance. He is therefore given indef-
mite leave of absence and he departs,
grateful for this consideration, which he
broadcasts to his fellows, thereby saving
face"

South Will Not Benefit
By Wages and Hours Bill

To the Editor of The Star
Southern Democrats who imperil pas
sage OF the Wages-and-h bill in the
House on the ground it would ruin indus
tries in that territory may be bitterly
criticized by their party leaders 1t is
claimed many industries are moving into
Dixie because of lower wages. Yet lower
wages happens to be only one among
many reasons.
In our town the City Council met and
called for pubic vote on bond issue
to erect cigar factory. The vote car

beside railroad side track, but a hand
some brick building was presented to
company officials. tax exempt, for a 10
year period. And just for good measure
the clty-oWned water and light plants
donated their services free of charge as a
further lnducement. At the end of the
l0-year period, of course, the cigar COM
pany pulled up stakes rather than pay
taxes, for doubtless great many other
communities were eager to land the plant
and its pay roll. At the present time a
Shirt factory is operating under like con-
ditions there.
1t Is idle to say paper industries are
migrating to the Gulf Coast areas solely
because of lower wages. There is a gen.
erous supply of slash pine, and if taxes
are lower, whose fault is that? Much is
said about lower wages. but never a word
about lower living costs. True, there are
those in poverty, but the same can be
found all over the world. In my home
paper a large chain store offers beeksteak
at l9 cents, in comparison to local prices
of 49 cents a pound. If these local
butchers could get Kansas City beef it
would scare them to death-they
wouldn't know what it was. The nearest
I ever came to seeing Kansas City beef
here was when a local chain obtained
some choice beef from the Chicago Fair
years ago. Most all beef you get in
Florida is Kansas City beef, the reason
being that the hotels are always demand
ing the best for their tourists and the
packing companies must be able to pro-
duce. Rather than take chances of
losing the Florida trade, all of them send
their best. The beef we get here wouldn't
be acceptable to the trade elsewhere, and.
worse, you can't pay for better-they just
don't have it.
So it is not because food is inferior
that living costs are lower in that terri
tory. Rather, our food here is inferior,
and the prices higher. The two regions.
although under the same flag, are in fact
as different as nations ever could be. To
attempt to foist off on the Northern
States any traditions peculiar to that
part of the country would be folly. And
by the same token, any attempt to have
traditions of the Northern States foisted
off on the Southern States would be
equally as disturbing. The Southern
States are not in position to benefit by
the ages-and- hours bill. If politicians
OF the North persist in gobbling up all
available tax money and still cry for
more it is their own funeral, and they
should not blame industrialists for walk
ing out on them. That is precisely what
is happening in the migration of indus
try toward the Gulf Coast.

Japan a Menace
To World Peace

To the Editor of The Star:
The obJectlves of Japan are to con-
troll China and the entire Far East in
her own interests, and to the commercial
exclusion of the Occidental powers. If
and when these objectives are achieved
1t is her purpose-and she is conceited
enough to believe she is equal to the
taSk-to dictate to the Occidental powers
world policies. England and the United
States are the special objects of her
hatred, because she believes they stand
in the way of her ambitions. Her people
are SO drunk with power, and their
heads have been so completely turned
by their successes which have been made
possible by the fact that the Occidental
powers have been so absorbed with their
domestic problems that they have been
aggressions of Japan, that they think
they can exclude these powers from all
commercial intercourse with the Far
East, except upon such terms as Japan
may dictate, and that if these powers
resist, she can defeat them in war.
The present offers an opportunity that
may never come again for Great Britain
and the United States to defeat perma-

her as menace to world peace. All
they have to do to that end is to en-
courage China to resist the demands of
Japan with force of arms and supply
China with the necessary financial and
material assistance. If this is done China
can win in the long run by attrition, and
bankrupt Japan, from which she perhaps
would never recover. The interest of the
H.
should be accomplished all danger of
conflict between the United States and
Japan would be eliminated. Now is the
great opportunity. Now is the time to act.

E Egypt's New King.

Despite the fact that "the King b,lsi-
ness" is not what it used to be, Egypt
today is the scene of coronation which
marks the ascent Of seventeen year old
Farouk I to the ancient throne Of the
Pharaohs at Cairo. Called to the purple
by the premature death of his father,
King Fuad, last year, the boy monarch
becomes the first of his historic line in
400 years to rule over completely inde-
pendent realm in the Valley of the Nile.
King Farouks advent. therefore, is
hailed with comprehensive Joy by his
people, who envision for him a reign
destined to bring to Egyptians some OF
the elories and material prosperity that
were theirs in the long ago. AS a recently
admitted member Of the League of
Nations and the ally, instead of the
vassal. OF Great Britain, Egypt now
proudly takes its place as a sovereign
power in fulfllment Of the dream that
so long seemed doomed to remain an
illusion.
internationally, because Of the coun-
trys strategic situation athwart the
Mediterranean and the Red Sea, midway
between Europe and Asia, and adjacent
to Italian Libya, King Farouk's succession
has special personal significance. The
late King Fuad, because of long residence
in Italy and resultant pro-1talian pre-
objections. was inclined to orientate
Egyptian policy in direction which
might have proved fateful influence
upon Anglo-Italian rivalries in Africa
Farouk's succession presages more Ang-
lophile trend. His latter day education
having taken place in England, he rates
as English in bearing and upbringing,
though thoroughly Egyptian in outlook.
Assuming power under a liberal consti-
tuition, it Is generally expected that
Farouk will identify himself with those
democratic ideals amid which he spent
his formative years.
There is the more reason to anticipate
such a course because of the permanent
defensive alliance sealed by Egypt and
Great Britain in August 1886. Consum-
mated within the frame of the League
covenant and the Kellogg pact, it sup
plants British military occupation. Brit
ish troops and aircraft will be stationed
in the Suez Canal zone, which is recog-
nized as an integral part of Egypt, but
an essential link between the components
OF the British Empire. II, after twenty
years. Egyptian capacity to defend the
Canal Is matter of disagreement, the
issue shall be submitted to the League
But any treaty revision must provide for
continuance OF the alliance. Joint ad-
ministration of the Sudan will be main
tanned. The detested "capitulations' are
abolished as the final step in making
Egyptians master in their own house.
With the wounds of national self
respect healed, Egypt, under Farouk I,
enters, in a commensurate spirit of
rejuvenation, upon an era bright with
hope and promise. Long sympathetic
with her aspirations for independence,
the American people send Nileward on
this auspicious day cordial greetings and
fluctuations.

of this suggestion is want of unity

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Even a light spraying Of the leaves is
not necessary.
They are of meaty character, so that
water tends to rot them. If the method
suggested here is followed it will so
quickly show results that no one will
think top water is necessary.
great deal depends, OF course, upon
the size Of plant and pot secured in the
first place. 1t is better to get strong,
sturdy plant OF good growth TO begin
with than to try to bring up very small
ones to good Towering size.
The larger specimens do not cost very
much more and are worth the differ
ence. The pot will be plenty big enough,
in most cases, to provide for future leaf
and root growth
This plant, being African, likes strong
light.
No mistake should be made about
this. In an effort to keep it from
getting too much light, or too much
neat the mistake is sometimes made of
not giving it enough.
Good, strong light is essential.
Those who have had the pleasure OF
running an aquarium for any length Of
time will understand best what is meant
by good, strong light.
Most OF the aquatic plants used in
the average aquarium, containing either
tropical fishes or goldfish, need plenty of
light.
II the tank is in a dark place, the
finest fresh aquatic plants straight from
Florida sunshine, will turn brown within
a week.
Too dark situation not only fades
and finally kills the plants it also builds
up what is known as brown algae in
the tank. These are unpleasant groWths
OF microscopic plants, inimical both to
the water and the fishes which swim
in it.
Day by day the five -petaled flowers
fall off the African violet, but day by
day new ones open, so that the plant,
when N good shape, seems to be much
the same week after week
This plant may be secured with light
flowers or with dark. The two ton
petals are slightly joined at their base;
the three bottom ones are similarly
joined.
1t is a curious feature of the African
violet that the fallen flowers, dropping
from their stems. remain perfectly fresh
and unWilted for several days.
Fallen flowers may be placed on dry
wood and will stay fresh for a long time
that way.
The older lower leaves OF the plant
tend in time TO become yellow and should
be removed.
1t is said that this plant may be pro-
pagated by removing fresh, vigorous
new leaves and sticking them. stem
down, in good, sandy soil. In time they
root and form new plants.
Around the home one specimen of
African violet will be enough. perhaps.
1t is plant liked not only by women,
but also by men. who ordinarily profess
to regard typical house plants as too
fussy.
The African violet, however makes
its appeal not only because of its fresh
little blooms, but also because of the
curious leaves, more like those of a
succulent than violet.
The method Of watering outlined
seems sure-hre. One may wonder why
the sellers of these plants do not pro-
vide this information at the time of
sale and thus prevent failure with a
plant which. properly treated, thrives
nightly and pleases all who behold it.

OVERRIDING 1t.

Bill Smithers had holiday.
He took the train in humor CAV:
He played base ball, he had a swim
And ate all that was handed him.
He drank most every kind of drink
From foamy brown to placid pink:
Round on the flying horse he flew;
He got upset from a canoe.
He said the sunburn did him good;
He looks like poor Red Riding Hood,
And when he started home once more
He was all sorrowful and sore.
Bill Smlthers says that he will need
Recuperation long, indeed
SIX months OF plain old work, at best
To cure him OF that one days rest.
