Russia Warns Japan

TOKYO officially notified Berlin
L that the Chinese were plotting
to attack the Russian embassy in
Marking with planes disguised as
Japanese aircraft, for the purpose of
involving the Soviet government in
the Sino-Japanese conflict. With the
equivalent of "Oh, yeah?", Russia
retorted with a stern warning that
it would hold Japan responsible for
any bombing of the embassy, inten-
tional or accidental. The Soviet Of
ficials said they considered the re-
ported plot a "pure prevarication
showing the intention of some Jap
anese military powers to lombard
the Soviet embassy Intentionally and
then try to escape responsibility
With callous brutality Japan con-
tinued the air raids on Marking,
Canton and other large Chinese
cities, the bombs slaughtering thou
sands of helpless civilians. The ut
ter contempt for protests of western
nations shown by Japan seemed
warranted by the failure to insist on
respect for the nine-power treaty
guaranteeing the territorial integ-
rity of China. For this failure Gen
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek blames
especially the United States. "This
war;" said he, Twill last as long as
Japanese aggression lasts in
China"
The League of Nations advisory
committee adopted resolution con-
demning the Japanese aircraft for
bombarding open towns, though the
British tried hard to avoid mention
ing Japan by name.
Leland Harrison, the American OBJ
server without vote, sat silent
throughout the acrimonious debate
III the committee.
A Japanese submarine sank a
fleet of Chinese fishing junks off the
coast of southern China, killing 300
men, women and children.

Canberra a Thirsty City

Canberra, Australia's new made
to-order capital, recently made a
worlds record among cities for a
days water consumption per head.
The figure was $50 gallons. This
was an unusual quantity. Can
berra's average daily consumption
of water per head is 172 gallons.
Even this figure groups the city with,
Washington, Buffalo and Philadel-
phia as the worlds greatest water
users. The explanation is that there
are no water restrictions.

When Not to Tip

n EAR Mrs. Post: have gone for
years to a very expensive hair
dressing establishment and have al
ways left tip for those who take
care of me. In discussing the ques-
ton with friend. she believes that
their prices are exorbitant enough
SO that no tip is necessary. To sub
stantiate her side of the argument
she gave me for example some of
the better restaurants in which no
tips are expected.
Answer: Unless the restaurant or
the hairdressers have signs plainly
explaining that no tipping is per-
mitted, you would be expected to
tip at the usual rates. And unless
your total bill is very high your
percentage would, if anything, be
Slightly higher than in similar
places having cheaper rates.

Women in Night Clubs

n EAR Mrs. Post: I was much

which you said that women should

tell me whether this also applies to
the early dinner hour? I sometimes
60 to New York accompanied by
my mother, or other older woman
relative, and instead of having din
ner in a quiet restaurant we like
to go to one that has Broadway at
mosphere with music and show.
Answer: A young woman dining
no matter where and staying for
awhile with her mother or other
older woman relative is quite diff
ferent situation from that of two
young women going late to night

Use of MOuOgra7,s.

Use W NOftOSfuHtS.
N EAR Mrs. Post: What is the
proper arrangement Of initials
in a monogram? am thinking now
of the monogram that has a taller
initial in the center. Also, is a
monogram ever carried out on the
envelopes, and if not, may a return
address be put on the flaps of en-
velopes to be used with paper
marked with monogram?
Answer: When the initial in the
center is larger it is always the ini-
tial of the surname. It is proper,
if you like it, to have the address
stamped on the flap of the envelope
for paper marked with a mono
gram, although strictly speaking
formal notes are sent without any
return address. Paper marked with
a monogram is more formal than
paper stamped with an address but
of course you can use it for any
personal letters.

College Station, Raleigh, Oct 28.-
When Uncle Sam rings down the cur
tain on the 1887 Agricultural Con-
servation program October 81, farm
ers will turn their eyes to the new
1888 edition.
Already approved by Secretary of
Agriculture Henry A. Wallace, tbs
1893 program will differ in many
respects from those of the past. One
of the new features is the setting up
of national goals for many of the lar
gest cash crops.
Since it was first announced ten
tatively September 20, the new pro-
gram has undergone but few altera-
tons, according to Dean I. o. Schaub
Of State College.
One Of the principal changes has
been a decrease in the cotton goal.
This action was brought on by the
latest U. S. crop forecast of approx
mately 1750OOCO bales. Previously,
the estimate for 1897 was 100000
bales.
The latest forecast had not been
issued ,vnen the 1888 program was
first announced. When officials learn
ed that the lint crop was 100000
bales larger than they had anticipated
they made adjustments in the new
program. The goal is now set at H.
100000 to 100000 acres.
Potato goals will also be included in
the 1888 program. More than 81 per-
cent of the growers in the CONNER
cial potato producing sections favor
ed acreage sterilization in referen-
dunn which ended earlier in the
month.
PAYMENTS will be based on the num-
Der of acres planted, up to the limit
of a farms goal. The maximum pay
ment can be earned by planting the
full goal. However, payments will be-
come progressively smaller as plano
ed acreage goes above the farm goal,
Dean Schaub explained.
