uCulOSldCy. DuJ tildI Is OIliy It's
passing phase, not its essence.
Bullets have been flying pretty close
to home-what with the killing and
wounding of sailors on an American
battleship, the burning of a Texaco
oil plant and Simmons mattress
factory-what with tht dean Of Ameri-
can missionaries bombed to death and
the best-known American motor car
dealer in China burned to crisp in
his car. The turning of thousands
refugees overnight and the destruc-
tion of millions of dollars worth of
American property has come close to
getting us where we live" AS we
have seen these unbelievable things
happen-the sort of things that have
in the past plunged the Nation pre-
cipitately into war-we Americans
from coast to coast have shared one
feeling-the desire to keep out.
Already in United Front.
But we are already involved. We
are already engaged in constituting a
united front with the British Empire
when Sumner Welles, Mr.. Roosevelts
diplomatic pinch-hitter sailed for
London on the same ship with Britain's
Washington Ambassador, Sir Ronald
Lindsay. The shooting of the British
Ambassador to China spurred the
move toward an American-British
united front. Faced with a critical
challenge in Spain and the Mediter-
ranean, from which she can emerge
unscathed only by the favor of Mus
solini, Britain must depend more than
ever before upon Uncle Sam in the
Pacific and Asia. An Anglo-Saxon
bloc is the only answer to the German
japanese understanding which was
the diplomatic beginning of the present
offensive
Back in 1881 and 1882 when Japan
went into Manchuria, Secretary of
State Stimson exerted his best efforts
to line up with Britain. But the
British foreign Office gave Japan the
go" signal, the Japanese let Shanghai
of with what lie British regarded as
desirable disciplinary drubbing, and
Mr.. Stimson was left out on limb.
But it is different this time-di1erent
in the extent of the British properties
affected. For Britain fights for prop
critics, while America fights for senti-
mcnt-often British-directed.
The degree to which we are involved
in this united front will appear later.
Let us now look at some other respects
in which we are implicated. This is
war under the guise of peace, and We
don't have to shoot to get into it.
While l20 million average Americans
become more and more anti-Japanese
as they read their newspapers their
sentiment is not shared by the bankers
OF Wall Street, who hold &400, 900 900

WANG HINTS DRIVE
FOR MANCHUKUO
Chinese Ambassador Pleads
for Funds to Relieve
War Suffering.

NEW YORK, September 7.-Chenr
ting T. Wang. Chinese Ambassador Il
the United States today characterized
japanese forces attacking China a.
"n1arauders" and intimated Chini
would attempt not only to defeat them
but to regain her conquered Eastern
provinces. including Manchukuo.
"China's whole position at present,
asserted Ambassador Wang, lis tha

tackled by marauders. I believe we
have enough well-equipped soldiers tt
beat the marauders off.
Although Manchuria and the othel
Eastern provinces were stolen from u.
six years ago. we still regard them az
part of our house"
The Ambassador issued a formal
appeal for funds for the relief OF
Chinese civilians wounded and made
destitute by the war
Wage Campaign of Conquest.
THE whole world" he declared. "is
now fully acquainted with the fact
that the japanese militarists are wag-
ing campaign of conquest in China
which is characterized by ruthlessness.
Japanese aircraft have systematic

area, Paoting, Shanghai, Marking,
Hangchow, Nanchang, Canton and in
Vulnerable other places in the interior
of China, often hundreds of miles from
the theaters of hostilities," Wang said
In All interview.
wherever the merciless armies of
Japan have visited, they have de-
liberately brought death to the inno-
cent non-combatant population and
destruction to cultural and humani-
tartan institutions and historical
places. In fact, their attacks seem to
be directed purposely at the defense
less and innocent masses in order to
create reign of terror.
In view of the great suffering
brought upon non-combatants through
the shelling and bombing of unde-
Tended cities of absolutely no military
strategic value, the Chinese people
have been hard pressed adequately to

pital care was not anticipated.

Supplies for the relief of these in

know that with their customary gen.
erosity the American people are con-
tributing for the relief of our civilian
wounded, and are sending medical
supplies which are so badly needed.
II wish to thank you ali in the name
of the Chinese people for your aid
which has been so generously given.
For the information of those who
would know where they may send
their contributions for this compass
sionate purpose, 1 am glad to be able
to state that the New York agency
of the Bank of China, whose Office is
at 40 Wall Street, New York City, has
consented to receive such funds"
The Ampa ssador asserted, as he has
on previous occasions, that China
stood ready to attempt the settlement
of her difficulties with Japan through
any pacific means possible, but that
she would fight to the utmost to block
any further conquest Of her territory.

Skeleton of Helena Chinese
Is Found By Surveying Crew

The bleached bones Of . deter
mined little Chinese, who marched
stolidly into the mountains and
took his own life, were found
about eight miles from Helena .
few days ago.
Officers identified the skeleton
and few remaining articles Of
clothing as those Of Chew Lin Sing,

A surveying crew under the guid-
ance Of r. Y. Lyman found the
bones under the Overhangtng
boughs Of . fir tree near the d.
vide between Clancy and Union
vile. Peace officers identified the
remains as those Of Chew LIN
Sing.
Sheriff Brian d. O'Connell and
Deputy Joe Spur1em said the bones
and few articles of clothing were
located under q tree about zoo
yards from the top Of the divide
and about $50 yards on the west
side Of the road, on the UniOnville
side Of the mountain.
The man, whose age was esti-
mated at more than 70 when he
disappeared, had climbed the tree
after chopping off several limbs
for fOotholds. He then had tied
the rope to the upper limbs, slipped
. moose around his neck and step

Auto Second Best
in Bout With Horse

That feud between the auto and the
horse, which might have been be-
ueved dead and buried, flared into
activity recently In Lewistown and
this time the auto came off second
best.
Driving along east Main street Mrs.
William Schultz noticed runaway
team dasting toward her at the inter-
section Of Dawes street. Her husband,
who was in the car. shouted q warn
ing, but too late. The horses dashed
headlong toward the car, tried to
swerve at the last moment but slipped
on the pavement and one of the ami
mails crashed heavily into the auto,
damaging the fender and headlamp.
The horse then fell unconscious in the
street.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schultz summoned
police in the belief the horse would
have to be destroyed. In a few min
utes, however, the animal arose, shook
its head and gave q satisfied horse
laugh at sight of the damaged car.
The team, which reclaimed by its
owner, Dan Smith, had galloped wildly
for several blocks dragging a wagon.
Neither Of the animals showed any
Ill effects.

soon or withheld until the next regular
meeting of the state board Of regents
in July was not announced.

mist AND as agronomist until his ap-
pointment to the presidency in 1919,

HARDIN TO HAVE
NEW COURTHOUSE
BIG HORN COUNTY HAS WAITED
"a YEARS FOR FIRST
GLIMPSE AT HOME

After a 24-year wait, Big Horn
county is now looking forward to
occupying its first c0urth0use-an
attractive $1,000 native stone struc-
ture constructed here under the
works progress administration.
When PWA ends its fiscal year on
June 80 i Is expected that this
public building, which represents
one of its most ambitious projects,
will be virtually completed.
Since 1913, when Big Horn was seq
regated from Yellowstone, it has rented
office space in various buildings here.
Not only has this been inconvenient
for the public and for officials. but
expensive. Hereafter, approximately
$1,000 annually for rent may be saved
by the taxpayers, once the indebted
ness on the new courthouse Is liqu1-
dated.
The structure has been planned for
usefulness. Two floor dimensions Of
approximately 80 by 100 feet and q
full-sized concrete reinforced basement
provide more than ample space. In
addition to regular offices, part of
the second floor includes the county
jail and sheriff's office.
OF interest is the unusual structural
strength Of the building. This has
pccA dCIucSc0 W Oil 4o-AlSA WAL tL4CA-
ness and by unique use OF steel beams,
salvaged from dismantled county
bridges Also unusual Is the limestone,
which Is being quarried about As miles
south Of Hardin. Not only does the
fine grained stone approximate granite
in texture, but it has an attractive
pinkiSh color.
The stone is transported in large
blocks to the building site Here, under
the tutelage of a few skilled masons,
relief laborerS have acquired the knack
Of shaping to such an extent that the
stone placed on the courthouse has an
almost machine-ike appearance. Point
ing the limestone with pinkish NOR
tar and use Of ornamental members
cast Of white cement artificial stone"
set off the building.
Despite a scarcity Of skilled relief
labor, WPA former and engineers have
effectively trained and guided un-
skilled workers in doing first class
work on all phases Of construction.
Since work began in August Of last
year, WPA has expended $49,254 and
Big Horn $29,728. To complete the
building proper and to install q ma
tural gas heating plant and modern
lighting and ventilating systems, the
county Is now raising $4,000 more.
Continued grants for labor up to June
80 will be provided by PWA, at which
time, except for q few miscellaneous
tasks, all will be in readiness for
county officials to occupy their new
home.

has changed through the years, there
has continued q fixed determination
to keep political influence out Of the
institutions and to support the policies
to which the board gave approval.
Throughout a period Of a third of
q century, persons in higher educa-
tional work enjoy the acquaintance

out of this acquaintanceship many
enduring friendships ripen, and these
dends that come to those who are in
college work.

Your Children
By OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

to suit us. They are this, that ana the other thing, but not wicked.
 Nevertheless, there are some few really wicked children, perhaps not through their own fault, but through experience and bad infiu- ence, plus predisposition to prefer the worst.
 Now just exactly what constitutes 6 really bad child The one who, without justifiable motive, makes 1t his business to deliberately hurt other people.
 Without cause he hates. Without cause he is dishonest. Without any reason he mains and hurts. This is true viciousness, and fortunately such children are rare. When there is a cause (And now we trace most behavior to beginngs), the child can be reached and reclaimed. The others are mostly deviates, as nat tral inhbitions are lacking.
 So be slow, dear parents, to call your boy bad" Nothing will set up his defiance more quickly, or his defense, and defense has peculiar ways of showing itself. Call him anything else you like, but leave him something to pull himself back with. The word itself does harm.
 Adults often gossip with the pure intention of hurting others. I add this to show that many so-called perfectionists, demanding ifnmacu- late behavior in their children, are at heart more deliberately unholy than the child they are calling names.

 Yourself

Before you adopt new fashion, in beauty or in clothes, make sure that 1t truly suits your own person. ality as well as your figure and your mode of life.
 For instance, one whose social life is made up mainly of home dinners, informal bridge parties and such won't have much use for an elaborate, yelled headddess, no matter how flattering 1t hap- pens to be. And the woman who attends dozens of brilliant dinners and huge balls makes a mistake when she chooses more dinner suits than evening gowns.
 If you have a rather short, fairly plump neck, steer clear of the new heavy gold necklaces, re- gardless of how much you like them. If you legs are very short, don't be tempted by stockings with clocks or those with heel achievements which end in high points. Either makes the legs seem shorter.
 Its a good idea to remember that clothes with slightly exag- gerated shoulders make hips seem narrower; that skirts which fit smoothly oyer the hipline, far ing below, make you seem thinner than those which flare from the band
 Also that form fitting sweaters accentuate flat-chestedness; very decollete evening gowns empha- size every shoulder, neck and up- per. arm defect that gowns with sleeves even tiny cap-like ones, are more flattering to a woman with plump upper arms than mere shoul- der strap neckline.
 Furthermore, every fashion and beauty conscious woman, regard less of her shape or size, will do well to remember thaht a girdle or some kind of foundation garment makes for smoother, trimmer lines, causes clothes to fit nicely You can't look your best if your stomach protrudes even a little CT if your hips sway and bounce when you walk. If you never have worn foundation garment put yourself in the hands of an expert filter and follow her ad- vice. It's next to impossible to analyze your own figure and oe- eide what kind of girdle will be most satisfactory.

What is a really bad child? The one who is disobedientp The boy who is destructive, or the girl who won't help her mother?
 You cannot call such children good, but are they really badr Let us see.
 Take the first item,, for exam pie. Johnny's parents may be very strict with him. Children, like adults, demand a certain freedom of movement. When law becomes too slavish, the adult loses respect for 1t. So does Johnny. Again, perhaps home is a completely disorganized place, and there doesn't seem to be much point in trying to please any. body. When there is no feeling Of pride in family, obedience hes too many enemies to fight.
 The destructive child IS the vic- tim of impulsiveness, of curiosity and the hundred and one things that drive his active body and mind.
 Weak Rather Than Bad
 The stacker may be lazy because of physical impairment somewhere, such as infection or malnutrition. Or because there is absolutely no appreciation of what he does. Or because he has never been taught early in his young life that every. body has to put Q shoulder to the wheel and help along.
 Granted that children can be all these things from other motives not so excusable, still most children who fail in satisfactory conduct are not really bad" They are week, inoral- ly, perhaps, or have wills too strong
