OF the treaty when the Otner par
ties hold 10 be operative IN the
circumstances
BRUSSELS, Nov. Is. (UP)-
Norman II. Davis, in the name Of
the United States, today warned
Japan that II is TO her own ma
terial interests to cooperate in
ending the China war.
Davis addressed delegates of the
10 nations represented in the Far
Eastern conference here and said
that the war raised the question
OF whether law or force should
rule the world.
Anarchy threatens if the con-
ception of change by violent meth
DDS should be dominant, he said.
II is impossible, he said, that there
could be an equitable sediment
war and a just peace in the Far
East, excepting under law and or
der.
DR.. Wellington Koo, Chinese
representative, urged the SIgnato-
rieS of the nine power treaty TO
penalize Japan by denying tinan-
cial or material supplies and by
aiding China.
Conference delegates of France,
Britain. Belgium and the United
States acted today % rally world
opinion against Japan following
the second Japanese refusal to
participate in the negotiations
aimed at ending the conflict in
China.
U. S. Delegate Norman II. Da-
Wis. British Foreign Minister An
thOny Eden. Belgian Premier-elect
Henri Spaak and a representative
of French Foreign Minister WON
Delbos met in Sparks home in
secret session and reached an
agreement on a declaration which
they will ask the nine-power con-
ference 10 approve.
The declaration reviews the at
tempts made 10 bring Japan into
the conference. contrasts her re-
fusal with China'S willingness to
accept peaceful settlement and re-
portedly makes Japan entirely re-
sponsible for failure Of the peace
efforts and continuance of blood
shed.
Thus the document was design
ed to prepare world opinion for
any measures which the confer
ence may ultimately envisage
against Japan.
For this reason il was expected
that Italy will attack the declara-
ton when the full assembly meets
later in the day.
Other powers may also find 1t
too strong. therefore some changes
may be necessary to obtain unani-
nous approval.
Britain, France and the United
States. however, repeatedly agreed
that the declaration should not
contain any new appeal to Japan
i'm view of Japan's strong refusal
TO consider the Far Eastern war
anything but a private affair.
A copy of the declaration will
be forwarded to Japan as a sigma
tory of the nine-power treaty
guaranteeing the peace of China.
The original draft of the dec
laration. presented TO the dele
gates at the secret session, was
altered somewhat but delegates
said that il was still firm and
incisive document.
The secret meeting was called
after il was agreed that Japan
had "killed" the last hopes of a
friendly settlement of the Far
Eastern war with Japan present
at the council table.
Within a few hours after re-
ceipt of Tokyo's note the key con-
ference powers - Great Britain,
France and the United States
decided 70 Scuttle n previous ar
rangement whereby a third and
'last chance" note would be sent
to Japan.

Clever Trick
By Magician
Is Battling
Performer E m ploys
Colored Crayons
for Deception.
BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.

BY THOMAS THE MAGICIAN.
0UR trick this week, The Mystery
OF the Colored Crayons," is a
very usable effect, performed with
drawing crayons. remember that
the first time I saw this mental
mystery" it completely baffled me,
although it was performed by a mere
boy in the art room of the high school
which once attended
remember that he was highly
pleased with himself when he found
that he had mystifled "a real ma
gician" However he readily showed
me the secret, and now I'm passing
1t on to you.
Effect: The performer displays
four or five colored crayons, each of
different hue. He also shows small
pasteboard tube, about 4 inches long,
and about an inch or so in diameter.
CA small mailing tube used for sending
small bottles, etc, is just the thing)
Having passed all these articles for
examination, he gives them to one
lllCLIiCCl Vi AuAlSllSC dilo u<ohso CllS
person secretly to select one Of the
colored crayons. place it in small
tube, and, without allowing the per-
former TO see which one was selected,
hand 1t to him while his back is
turned. Understand, now, the per-
former takes it into his hands while
his hands are behind his back. This
makes it impossible for him to see
the crayon selected, placed in the tube
and then placed in his hands.
This procedure having been fol-
lowed, the performer turns around
facing the audience. He explains
that through silent concentration he
is able to tell the spectator assistant
just what crayon he selected
He gazes into space for a few sec
onds, and then places the closed tube
to his head, as If concentrating.
In a second or two he hands the
unopened tube to the spectator and
correctly names the color Of the
crayon inside!
Explanation: The secret TO this
battling effect will take much less
time to explain than it has taken to
describe the correct performance.
Everything is really quite unpre-
pared, the gimmick being the fact
that when the tube Is behind the
performers back out Of sight of the
audience he quietly removes the top.
removes the crayon, scratches it with
his thumb-nail, and returns it TO the
tube. While he is concentrating with
the tube at his forehead. the magician
merely glances at his thumb-nail,
and there he will see the colored
remnants Of the scratch he made with
his nail. This will make it quite clear
just what color was selected.

EOR the rigorous stage life she hopes
l. to lead some day, Betty Cava-
naugh, l5-year-old dancer Of TAkoma
Park. Nd, Is getting some good train
ing.
Betty takes dancing lessons Of course
several times q week at q local
studio and once a week in New York
City. And it's on that weekly trip to
New York that she shows the stuff
Of which troupers are made.
She leaves Washington Friday night
by bus and arrives in the metropolis
Saturday morning.
Then follows day which includes
half hours instruction in acrobatics,
half hour in ballet, a half hour in
musical comedy, q half hour in tap
and an hour in singing and dramatics.
Then, perhaps, she fills an engagement
at a New York hotel, for she sometimes
appears as an amateur performer on
an otherwise professional program.
Before this strenuous week end, re-
member, Betty has, in addition to
dancing lessons here. attended the
Immaculate Conception Academy,
where she's specializing in a busi-
ness course. And she probably has
danced for several local audiences.
Back in Washington from New York
Sunday morning, however, she takes
time to go to church.
"Thes I crawl in bed and sleep
most of the day." she said. And
it's really not bad week end at all
Sounds like pretty heavy schedule
for l5-year-old, dosen't it?
But one look at Betty and you
forget it. Her deep blue eyes are
bright and sparkling. Her fair COM
plexion is clear and healthy. And,
If you are interested in other de-
tails, she has dark hair, curled in
ringlets that don't quite reach her
shoulders, and . small tilted nose.
She probably would look nice in
moving pictures. And that's where
she wants to be some day-out in Hol-
lywood.
She is one of eight children in the
family Of DR.. and Mrs. Leo M. Cava-
naugh, all Of whom enjoy dancing.
Her mother loves 1t, too, and when she
was younger studied and longed to
60 on the stage.
So Betty--who seems to be the most
talented of the eight-is being given
an opportunity. And . scrapbook full
Of newspaper clippings and programs
in which her name appears are an
encouraging start. Priced among
these is = paragraph from stage
magazine in which she vas singled
out as . performer With unusually
good possibilities.

nOrSeS un0er the Dig Top
Rudolph Rudynof1, jr., II, son OF
the world-famous horseman, can give
you an idea, perhaps.
Rudy is the youngest member Of
the Ringing Brothers-Barnum and
Bailey circus to have an act all his
own. Maybe you saw him here last
Veek--in a ring to himself-with six
small stations scarcely higher than
he is, which he trained himself.
The circus folk. who seemed very
fond Of the boy, give Rudy credit
for a great act. They know It's
taken lot of hard work and patience
to put those six cream and gray
ponies through their PAGES.
At Rudy's word. you remember,
they will Jump hurdles, rear all to-
gether. reverse first one, way, then
the other. as they run about the ring,
and do various other tricks. Perhaps
the most difficult stunt of all is the
box trick, where the first horse in
line puts his forefeet on box, stand
ing on his hind legs, behind sec
ond horse balances on the back OF
the first, and so on down the line,
each horse taking its place at Rudys
command until all are standing up,
making a line OF six living statues.
This picturesque trick Is the result
OF weeks OF training and step-by-step
teaching.
Rudy doesn't mind that, he said.
He's fond OF his pets.
Sometimes they're naughty. though
and don't want to do what tell them, y
he explained. They even give me a
kick or a nip, now and then" Here
Rudy smiled. But father says you
have to be bitten a few times before
you're real trainer. So I must really
expect this"
Being very busy rehearsing, working
out new acts, giving two shows q day
and taking ballet lessons for balance

fact, Rudy studies all year round.
When the circus is in Winter quarters
at Sarasota, he attends public school.
And in the Summer he has a tutor
There's never a real vacation for cir
Gus children.
Rudy has one small pony for his
very own. He's working up new act
with him right now. When it's ready,
they'll add that to the big time
routine. OF course, Rudy's own pony
can do all the stunts the six little
stations do, and many more. He's
going to be a star performer some
day, But Rudy says he isn't quite
ready for that yet.
In the Rudynof1s' red wagon on the
circus lot there are two Great Danes
which Rudy's mother uses in her act.
One OF them follows Rudy every
where. When the family are per-
forming-Rudy's father and his
horses in one ring, Rudy's mother
and the dogs in another and the boy
himself in a third ring with the little
stallions-ths dog hustles through
his tricks as fast as possible. The
minute Mrs. Rudynoff is finished with
him. out he goes. lodging under the
flying feet OF the horses and jumping
over tent ropes to get to Rudy. Into
this ring he dashes, ready to do his
little friends command.

and weighs a hundred and forty. y

If the World
Could Have Amnesia

In Redwood City Wednesday middle
aged Cincinati o., restaurant proprietor
awoke from his sleep in a Jail cell and
remembered for the first time since
May Is, 1885, who he was. He was
victim of amnesia caused by misplaced
vertebrae which, in turn, caused brain
pressure. Amnesia-loSS Of memory
resulted in 1885 when the pressure be-
came acute.
Amnesia, a fantastic ailment, gives
rise to fantastic thought. What If every
body in the civilized world became vic
tim of amnesla at the same time?
1t is conceivable that such a happen
ing might not, after all, be the catas-
trophe it would appear at first glance.
We would forget who We are to be sure.
We would forget our past. We would
make new starts, becoming adults whose
lives are just beginning. There would be
no end of confusion.
Yet amnesia does not deprive a man
of his mental powers; it deprives him
only of memory. Many amnesia victims
have become successful operators IN
various lines of endeavor even while
suffering from the ailment. And there
is this to consider. We would forget
all our troubles.
If all the world suffered from anne
sa, men would forget why they hate
one another. Japan would no longer
know the cause of its war against China.
Nationalists and Loyalists in Spain
would wonder why they have been kill
ing one another. Nazi Germany would
forget that Germans hate the French,
and France would forget that French
fear the Germans. Italy would forget
its hatred of Russia, and the Commu-
nists would forget their dream of world
Communism.
And labor would forget John L. Lewis
ALSO our creditors would forget that
we owe them money, but that's beside
the point.)
Of course the idea is fantastic-but
there is a suggestion that is not. In this
Christmas season, a season devoted to
peace and the grand belief of the Great
Teacher in universal brotherhood, it is
fitting that we should consider what
would happen if mankind made con-
certed effort to forget his hatreds and
jealousies, to work and live together in
peace and understanding.

It is a poor week that does not
see some judge in this broad land
of ours getting his name in the
papers by handing down weird
decision. This week the distinction
seems to go to the jurist in Cam
bridge. Mass, who ruled that a
drunken driver whose car killed
two people could not be held for
manslaughter because he had been
too drunk to know what he was
doing.
The judges reasoning is perfect
ly clear, once you examine it.
A charge of manslaughter, he
explained, must be based on will
full, wanton and reckless" conduct.
At the time of the accident the
driver in question was drunk-and
not just drunk, but awfully drunk.
Consequently, said the judge, he
was mot in a position to form a
judgment or exercise his will;
hence he could not be willful, wan
ton, or reckless in his conduct,
and SO the manslaughter charge
fell through.
1t must be added that the judge
did see his way clear to send the
