Saito Declares u. S. Fails
to Comprehend True
Chinese Situation,

Comparing Japan's activities In
China to those of the United States
In Cuba in 1898 and Great Britain's
war with the Beers in 1899, japanese
Ambassador Hirosi Saito told members
OF the washington Junior Board of
Commerce and luncheon guests at the
Annapolis Hotel yesterday that Jap
ans foreign and domestic aim was
merely "the preservation Of national
security and the advancement Of ma
tional welfare"
The conflict in China appears a
needless one to many people. but in
the United States there is more
sympathy for the apparent under
dog than there is understanding of
the situation, he said. Mentioning the
Junior Boards cleanup campaign,
Mr. Saito declared that the situa-
ton in the Far East is nothing but
a campaign for cleaning up in that
part Of the world.

the cause Of seizures of territory but
are real menace to peace In the
Far East, Mr. Saito declared, tracing
the development of japanese power
IN the last half century and the rea-
sons for Japan'S activities.
Japan is not seeking territories. he
said. and only demands of China the
abandonment of o-Communistic.
anti-Japanese and anti-Manchukuo
policies, establishment of demtlitarized
Zones. completion of an economic
agreement with Japan and the pay
ment Of indemnities.
Accusations that Japan intends to
close the doors of trade in China are
not true. Mr.. Saito declared.

STYLE CHATS
BY AUDREY AMEs

(OuAveu EEeaS StbH OUEEcoPVHVouV
 Paris - (UP)-Better start get- ting the furs out of storage be- cause frosty days are just aheadl At least, Parisian stylists are under that impression. They have design ed this years winter clothes with luxurious fur trimmings. Capes, coats, suits and even dresses boast of furs.
 Fur-trimmed capes, incidentally, are enjoying great popularity in current winter selections. They are shown in three lengths--short, long and three-quarter, and usually com plement either a sports or dress suit. The 1888 fur coat will be lined in material matching the skirt or dress worn beneath 1t. This idea is espe- cialy good for town and informal country wear. The matching lin- ing also is shown in cloth coats, sometimes carrying out the color scheme of the bag and gloves.
 Fur hats and muffs are rnak- ing their debut once more and are worn with furless coats. Fur coats, on the other hand, call for simple, unfurred accessories. In the case of a ur-trimmed cloth coat, a tailored hat is appropriate. The fur huff is not carried if the cuffs have fur adornment.

 The new "lady. look that sniart women strive for these days means:
 Al SLENDER, SUPPLE WAIST LINE. Achieve this by eating sem sibly and doing bending ana stretching exercises every single day. Also by wearing proper ioun- dation garments. There are glruieS which stay up, you know.
 SHINY, HEALTHY HAIR. Whe- finer you wear an upswept coinure, . long Eol, or a iairdo that is happy combination of both, by all means use your hairbrush every nirl1t. shampoo correctly and often.
 SMOOTH, WHITE HANDS. Per- fectly groomed, of course.

 INTELLIGENT SCENT1NG. Fer. f,,nnery includes toilet water and scented cologne, as well as regular scents If you have always consid- cred perfume nice but not very important, this is the time to cor rect that impression. Perfume IS important these days.
 A PLEASANT VOICE. Keep 1t soft and perfectly modulated. Rasp- inr sounds from the throat or one in a hoop skirted gown with ner hair atop her head are pretty shocking. Incidentally, vigorous slang is very definitely out.

War! Flood! Famine! Fire!
 Without a 'Woman's Angle They're Dull To The Gals

But just now - more than ever before-women are passing up a great opportunity to grow and learn, by confining their curiosity to personal and feminine matters.
 Perhaps they would read the news of the day with the same zeal with which they attack "women's sub- jects" if someone would come along and tell them that the way to hold a mans attention is to show keen interest in what is going on.
 But unfortunately that isn't true, Men don't mind woman's igno- rance and lack of interest in any thing that does not directly concern her.
 The only benefit that women get out of examining news for them selves Is the benefit that men get.- the feeling of being a part of the excitement of the day.
 And for most women that is not enough.

RECOVER WHILE YOU WORK

RECOVER WHILE YOU WORK
 Southern reader reports:
 I want to tell you that I appre. ciate Dr. has just completed treating me for rupture by the injection method. The wore did not come direct from you but through a friend of mine whom you sent to Dr. - for some other treatment.
 Dr. --'s work was entirely satisfactory. worked all the time at my job in @ railroad yard, and al though I had to wear my truss con. tinuously while taking treatment, am now going without 1t except al my work where I have to do some heavy lifting. The doctor tells me I can remove 1t entirely in sixty days.
 The treatment was practically painless and saved me an operation which was advised by another phy' sician. Again I thank you.
 A long time ago this column plumped for radical surgery, thus:
 "As for alleged curses by injection special trusses, and similar novel, ties, the less said the better. These things are untrustworthy; some oi them are positively harmful ar operation for hernia is about as risky and a lot more comfortable than having a wisdom tooth ex- tracted--and that is saying a mouth full"
 If were not utterly hard-boiled I might blush faintly to record that on August 25, 1925, l described in newspaper health column which ur to then was all but endorsed by the A. M. A. itself, a home treatment for hernia in infants, which, as phy- sicians know, generally heals or be- comes cured spontaneously or na- turally if kept properly reduced and supported. Before that l had de- scribed in my column exercises which I believed
 ". will unquestionably prevent the occurrence of hernia in many instances of congenital tendency thereto, but will not cure Q frank hernia"
 Enough, I wot. enough to show that I was fairly orthodox.
 The ambulant or injection treat ment of hernia bobbed up in this column first in the summer of 1880 under the diffident title "Is Radical Operation the Only Cure for Her. nia?" and Aug. 9, 1881, I advised those with hernia to hold 1t until I could get something more definite to tell about the anlbulant treat ment, but meanwhile if some reput- able physician purposed to use the injection method by all means go ahead with 1t, only make certain the doctor is of unquestionable profes- sional standing and not 8 shady specialist" or quack who canvasses for customers for "non-surgicaT treatment.
 The ambulant or injection treat ment of hernia is as truly surgical as the radical operation, and the wise layman will give a wide berth to any charlatan who seeks to catch customers that way.
 Injection treatment Is now the method of choice in a considerable of all cases of hernia To cure hernia b. this method requires at least as great skill on the mart

 Aunt Tillie is still living. She had A large family, yet had room in her heart and her house to take me for many a summer and treat me as her own. She is a far grander person than ever hope to be.
 Aunt Maggie never married. She lived vicariously in her nieces and nephews. Their happiness was hers Nothing was too much trouble; nothing too much of sacrifice for her to make for us.
 Aunt Sade had no children. She was known as the perfect house. keeper. Her house was @ sanctuary of ioveliness and order. Yet she al- lowed us to profane 1t, with com- plete patience. She even loaned me her own saddle horse, and, when l could wrap them around me, her riding clothes. Once I let her horse fall. He was hurt. Not word Of recrimination did I get,
 Aunt Ella came to help nurse me when I was i'll. Whenever there was sickness or trouble, there she was with her solid sense and sympathe- tic hands. She made no comment on her own misfortunes, but merely undertook to help with ours. She never complained, although she nursed two husbands through their last long tedious illnesses. l did not half appreciate her, as a child, nor understand.

 Maybe relatives have changed 2 bit in this world of independent youngsters. Maybe they realize that their gifts have little room In 8 land top-heavy with the youth movement. Maybe they themselves have more problems than formerly But I still think that aunts and uncles play Q priceless part in any child's life and that the boy or girl so favored should be reminded and impressed.
 It all depends, of course, on who is who and all the rest of 1t. Per- haps relatives in general are ahan- Oning an old-world friendliness and have no time for each other. May
