structive. He will not only pick out the things
that are good but tell you how the things that
we're not good might be made better. All
people who have achieved real success know
that it is seldom to be found except at the end
of a very long road. They are, therefore,
understanding as well as kind in their effort to
help one who is starting out on that same
road. 1t is the one who has never done any
thing who habitually belittles the achieve
ment of another.
Really charming people are those who leave
you stimulated, who make you feel that your
daughter is some one of whom you have every
right to be proud Or let me put it very
briefly They not only increase, because OF
their appreciation. the seeming value of your
material possessions, but they bring nearer
the fulflllment of your hopes and aspirations.
They encourage you to do your best. You can
hardly wait to begin to study, to practice,
to work harder to win success in the things
that they, in their optimism, believe but
short distance ahead of you. They make you
think the whole world is more beautiful, more
worthwhile, more worth the living. You feel
that you've had strong tonic, that the sun is
coming up, and it will be a glorious day!
Those whom have been writing at greater
length about leave you just the other way:
exhausted, depressed, overwhelmed by a sense
of futiity And so, of the two which will

those whom you love produce most anguish.
With diabolcal intent $50 it would seem), they
pick out the one thing about which you are
sensitive Gf there is such thing) and harp
on it. If you are afraid that your Dora may
have got herself talked about with the Gayly
boy, that is of course exactly the subject on
which the destroyer pounces
Definite facts are not forthcoming In your
heart you fear that they may be withheld
because you are Doras mother. In decency
you can not discuss your child, nor can you
run the risk of letting her down. Meanwhile,
the destroyer insinuates that Gayly's atten-
tions are not very flattering. Or that it is Dora
who is running after Gayly, or whatever other
construction can be put on something that
you know nothing about. She leaves you
therefore, torn with doubt, and defenseless.
As have written many times, charm is
something which cannot possibly be acquired
by rule of thumb. But there are certain traits
Numerically opposed to charm - pos
sessed by people who are never received in any
house except with regret, and whose departure
does not even bring relief They leave too
wide a path of distress in their wake. And yet,
it would be difficult to determine their inten-
tons as being either well or i'll.
True, it is hard to believe that any one who
means well could insinuate that your hus-
bands own business is not doing as we'll
as he leads you to suppose, or, if he works
for a firm, that his employers do not give
his ability a very high rating. Or it may be
about the disloyalty of a friend. In any case,
you are left in frame of mind that is dis
pirited at best, or devastated at worst. Some
thing you care most for in the world has been
daubed with mud that you patiently wash off,
Sometimes it is actually marred with acid
that has eaten below the surface, or something
has been broken off with sledge-hammer and
can never again be whole. There are certain
people who add nothing to the happiness of
anyone in any community.
There is nothing so easy as to criticize
destructively, and unintelligently. The prac-
tice of the intelligent critic is always con-

school report. In comes Name destroyer.
"Johnny's average is 80, you tell her proudly.
"Oh, 80 isn't much in that school. You
know they overmark all the children. My
Stevie never gets less than 80. The Green boy,
who's really quite moron gets 75."
Or perhaps the subject is much more
trivial Suppose, for example, you were not in
vited to the Joneses' party. The destroyer will
talk Jones party and nothing else. She will tell
you that all the people who amount to any
thing were invited, and all those who do not
amount to anything were left out She will
tell you who we're there. what they wore, what
they said Perhaps you did not care in the
least about being invited to the Joneses' party.
But Mrs Tactless will keep on until she
succeeds finally in making you feel that, after
all, you were rather sighted to have been
left out.
In contrast to these at least frank de-
stroyers are the pnveyors of r,mor who,
having nothing definite to say, merely hint:

wasn't she?"
You say: "Yes" She puts on look of
conscious evasion. Then you say: well, what
happened?"
She answers: "Oh, nothing - but implies
that there was something, which you, poor
thing, know nothing about. Naturally, your
imagination begins to work in the direction
of whatever it might be that would cause you
personally greatest distress. 1t might be that
she had no supper partner, or that she was
not constantly cut in on. Perhaps you picture
her parked in an automobile with the very
wrong type of man.
The consequence is that Mary and you
both spend very miserable quarter of an
hour, you trying to find out exactly what did
happen, and Mary wondering what in the
world can have happened to you that made
you suddenly so inquisitive.

ton that Japanese army authori-

dismantlement of the University'S
valuable scientific laboratory.
LOOK FOR INTERVENTION
Washington was informed Of the
japanese demand in the expecta-
ton the American Government
will intercede. The japanese were
said to have ordered the university
maintenance commission to remove
all the laboratory equipment from
the building now housing it.
japanese authorities stated
their troops, now using the uni
Versity dormitories as barracks,
need the laboratory building as
well.

that Washington will fail to
protest against this latest jap

This was made clear today by
a Japanese army spokesman, who
was asked point-blank whether
the Nipponese sentry who as
salIted the American diplomat
would be disciplined.
DOING HIS DUTY"
The reply of the spokesman
was abrupt and curt. He de-
clared:
Our sentry was only doing
his duty. Anyone disobeytng a
japanese sentry is liable to be
NOT only slapped but shot,"
The spokesman was then asked
why Japanese officials had apollo
|gized for the incident, If the
sentry was doing his duty.
THAT was gesture OF
courtesy" the spokesman said.
The attack on Allison occurred
Wednesday when the American
diplomat tried to enter the house
of a Chinese. He was accosted
by the sentry, who ordered him
to wait.
NEW DISORDERS
According to the Japanese
WESTON, Allison insisted on his
right to enter the house. The
sentry finally slapped him in the
cheek, then reported the matter
to his superior officer.
Meanwhile, fresh disorder broke
out in Shanghai when bomb
apparently hurled by a Chinese
terrorist, exploded at the office
Of the Japanese military press
censor's office, at Nanking and
Szechuan Roads.
The bomb rebounded from a
doorway and exploded harmlessly.
No one was injured.
OTHER BOMB OUTRAGES
Before this incident occurred,
four separate bomb outrages, per-
petrated by terrorists, were re-
ported in various sections OF
Shanghai, and five armed rob-
berries were carried out. In the
various hand grenade incidents,
casualties were slight.
Amid the new outbreak OF
violence, British and American
consular officials protested against
the, new japanese regulations for
cenSoring commercial messages.
Other protests dealt with censor
ship of press messages.
Meanwhile, at the various fronts,
the japanese naval air force
struck at vital Chinese military
and rail centers to blast open
paths for infantry advances.
A Japanese air fleet attacked
the Nanchang airdrome and
waged a spectacular battle with
Chinese planes. A Japanese COM
munique claimed II Chinese craft
were shot down and three more
destroyed on the ground.

Insults
By Nippon
Stir i. S.
By ROBERT G. NIXON

U.N.S0 Americas smouldering
resentment over the bombdestruc-
ton Of the gunboat Panay fared
into bright flame today.
The United States indicted
Japan's military forces for a new
series Of flagrant violations of
American rights in China and in
suits to the Star and Stripes.
In the most sternly worded
protest since outbreak of the Sino-
Japanese conflict, the United
States again warned Tokyo that
further violation Of its guarantees
cannot be tolerated and that steps
must be taken which will serve
effectively to prevent the repeti-
ton Of such outrages."
ARMY IN REVOLT
Secretary Of State Hull, through
the American Ambassador at
Tokyo, informed the japanese
government its military forces
have repeatedly broken the un-
qualified pledge against further
interferences with American rights
given in answer to the protest over
the bombing and machine-gun at
tack on the Panay.
The renewed attacks on the
American flag revealed an ap-
parent open revolt by certain mill
tary elements against the author
ity of the Tokyo government.
WAR OFFICE ACTS
The protest was laid before the
japanese cabinet in its recent
extraordinary session and resulted
in orders dispatching a high Jap
anese military officer, Major Gen
eral Homma, to Shanghai and
Nanking as the personal repre-
sentative Of the war office to
quell the mutinous attacks.
The American governments
patience was wearing thin over a
situation in which the japanese
soldiers continued pillaging Amer
ican property in the face Of re-
peated assurances through the
diplomatic authorities that there
would be no further occurrences.
In each violation the American
consul protested and was assured
the outrages were "just an acci-
dent" and stern measures were
being taken against a repetition,
only to have new pillaging break
out within a few hours.
