Minister H. H. Kung, his brother
in-law, succeeds him as president
of the executive yuan, or premier,
and other important changes have
been made in ministries and key
posts.
1t was announced that he has in
training a new army of 10000 men
to support the 100000 who are COM
batting the Japanese.
The government decided to abol-
ish all reformatories for political
offenders and to release all inmates.
This was termed a step toward
complete freedom of thought within
the republic.
Information reaching Shanghai
supported reports that Japanese
peace overtures to China had been
rejected. The Chinese pointed out
that they were anxious to negotiate
but said the japanese terms were
impossible.
Japan's columns were steadily
moving southwark in their progress
of conquest, and the belief that
Canton would soon be attacked was
strengthened when the invaders
bombed the area about that south
ern metropolis, killing hundreds.
The Canton city officials threatened
to destroy the city utterly rather
than surrender it.

Five Shipshape Pieces.
Start your day in an attractive
morning frock if you would leave
a bright all-day impression on the
family. Sew-Your-Own suggests
the new, young-looking dress at
the left for creating a really last
ing impression. 1t will impress
you, too, for the five pieces fit
together so effortlessly and pro-
duce such shipshape style that
you'll be not only pleased but

Exclusive Looking.
A beautifully styled frock that

it's as easy to sew as any you've
done. Note the little button trim
and youthful collar and cuffs to
add that telling touch of good
taste. Make a copy for now in
satin or silk crepe.

SUMMARIZES THE WORLDS WEEK

Secretary Ickes, the public works
administrator, said the decision
would affect construction of So pow
er projects costing $84, 026, 238 for
which his agency had allotted $780,
l9l, 944 as loans to be repaid and
SCI STA ,4O3 as federal grants.
The constitutionality of the gov
ernment's activity was challenged
by the Alabama Power company
and the Duke Power company. They
sought to enjoin federal financing of
projects in four Alabama municipal
tiles and at Buzzard Roost in Green
wood county, South Carolina.
Justice Sutherland delivered the
opinion of the court.

them"
The President again urged con-
gress to enact legislation for con-
troll of wages and hours of work. He
asked that all segments of the ma
ton cooperate with the government
to achieve better economic balance.
The budget for 1889 which he was
preparing, he said, would show
further decrease in the deficit,
though not an actual balance.
Reasserting his approval of pro-
posed changes in tax laws, he said:
''Three things should be kept in
mind. First the total sum to be de-
rived by the federal treasury must
not be decreased as a result of any
changes in schedules. Second,
abuses by individuals or corpora
tons designed to escape taxpaying
by using various methods of doing
business corporate and otherwise
abuses which we have sought, with
great success, to end-must not be
restored. Third, we should rightly
change certain provisions where
they are proven to work definite
hardship, especially on the small
business men of the nation.
''But speculative income should
not be favored over earned in
come"
Speaking of his attitude toward
the nations business as a whole,
Mr.. Roosevelt declared:
"The overwhelming majority of
business men and bankers intend
to be good citizens. Only small
minority have displaced poor citi-
zenship by engaging in practices
which are dishonest or definitely
harmful to society. This statement
is straightforward and true.
''No person in any responsible
place in the government of the Unit
ed States has ever taken any posi-
ton contrary to it,
Mr.. Roosevelt declared that when
attention was called to specific mis-
uses of capital ''there has been
deliberate purpose on the part of the
condemned minority to distort the
criticism into an attack on all capt.
tai. That is a willful deception
but it does not long deceive.
He called for prompt agreements
on farm program-now in con-
ference between the house and SEN
ate-and asked specifically that con-
gress keep the cost of its admins
tration within the figure of current
government expenditures in aid of
agriculture.
Concerning international matters,
the President said:
81 am thankful that I can tell you
that our nation is at peace. 1t has
been kept at peace despite provoca-
tons which in other days, because
of their seriousness, could well have
engendered war.
"Resolute in our determination to
respect the rights of others, and to
command respect for the rights of
ourselves" he added, 1--WE must
keep ourselves adequately strong in

Farley Finds a Surplus

I'm FARLEY, in his annual re-
- port as postmaster general, was
able to show surplus of more than
II millions for his department. To
do this, however, he deducted an ex-
pense item of about 60 million dol
lars, calling it a "nonpostal" item.
He charged off the air and ocean
mail subsidies and all free mail.
Dealing with the activities of the
postal inspection service, Farley
said the traffic in spurious lottery
tickets is believed to have been
broken up with the arrest and con-
viction of band of racketeers in the
East who disposed of more than 10
million dollars worth of such tick
cts in the last few years.

Worst Year for Strikes

a CCORDING to the national Ia
"A Dor relations board, the United
States passed through the worst la
Dor strike period in its history in
1887, but the board believes the
prospects for 1888 are much better.
The board revealed in a secret re-
port that there were 4,017 strikes
during the first ten months of 1887,
more than ever recorded during any
entire previous year, and that Sc per
cent, another all-time peak, were
caused through efforts by en-
ployees to organize for collective
bargaining.
It blamed the situation on refusal
of employers to recognize rights of
workers to organize under the Wag-
ner labor relations act.

"The corporation has kept its men
employed up to very recently by re-
ducing the hours given per man in
order to help the general economic
situation in the communities where
plants are located" Knudsen said.
1.-The inventories, both in the field
and at the plants, accumulated
through this policy, have, however,
reached a point where adjustments
must take place, as it is impossible
to carry larger stocks than the de-
mand makes possible.
purchasing power is down, and
the used car market is at the bot
tom. This came about with the in
creased unemployment situation.
And without the old car market,
there can't be market for new
cars. When general employment
falls off, there's nothing we can do"
In making his announcement at a
press conference, the General Mo-
tors head said that in his opinion
one of the main reasons for the cur
rent business recession was the fact
that the price level rose too fast in
the spring of 1887 and that the ma
ton could not digest it.
Commenting on the bad news
about General Motors, Senator Van
Mugs of Indiana declared that con-

mercially for the brewing industry.
Experience has shown that the
best European varieties of hops do
not produce well in hopyards here,
and the best American varieties
have been found unsatisfactory in
England. Nevertheless, American
experimenters have gathered
comprehensive stock of hop varie-
ties because they have reason to
expect improvements from crosses.
One of the problems is the breed
ing of hops resistant to the mildew
disease that cause serious losses.

Hybrids Reveal Value
of the Male Hop Plant

Because the male hop plant bears
no cones-the commercially 'valu-

have to judge its value as pollen
