TIENTSIN, Aug. 14.-Anti- British

One resolution before the confer

campaign permanent part of the
general reconstruction scheme in
North China with the object of fore
ing out all Britons and their inter-

"anti-British" course in junior

MORE and more fine cottons are
AvA gaining recognition from the
high-style viewpoint. Fashion ex-
perts predict triunphs galore this
coming summer for ginghams, for
piques of various types, for cham
brays, and because Of the empha-
sis placed on the Importance Of
dainty lingerie effects there is a spe-
cial rush for the most lovely Swiss
sheers, particularly the charming
crisp and sprightly cloque organ
dies that need little or no ironing,
and the delectable shadow prints,
and above all the beloved dotted
swisses and dotted voiles that seem
prettier than ever this year.
Everybody is going to, dress in
attractive cottons most Of the time
this summer. According to crystal
gazers that peer into fashion flu
lures, this will be the biggest, the
most exciting, the most style-reveal-
ing year that cottons have ever
known.
Now for a word of warning to big
sister and mother and grandma and
all the elder cousins and aunts that
plan to wear these beguiling cottons,
if they think they are to play the
star roles in the cotton parade, just
let them wait and see the sensation
that the little folks will create in
their cunning cottons during the
coming months.
Time has not dulled the charm of
that adored standby, fine dotted
Swiss. The right kind of dotted
sheers for mothers to buy for their
children is the genuine Swiss types,

simple and absolutely safe proce-
dure.

Franklin's Nephew

" HEN Benjamin Franklin sent
wv his 19-year-old nephew, Benja-
min Mecom, to Antigua in the Lee
ward islands in 1852 to run the
newspaper he had established there
four years earlier, he wrote to his
sister, Jane Franklin Mecom: "That
island is reckoned one of the health
lest in the West Indies. My late
partner there enjoyed perfect health
for four years until he grew care
less and got to sitting up late in
taverns which ! have cautioned Ben
ny against"
Presumably Benny followed his
uncle's advice but he was too much
of Franklin not to be restless. He
soon became dissatisfied, even
though Franklin increased his share
of the profits, and wanted to ''go it
on his own" So Franklin sold him
the press which he moved to Bos-
ton. There in 1853 he issued the
first separate edition of Franklin's
"Father Abraham's Speech" later
famous under the title of "The Way
10 WGdltu.
Unfortunately Benny didn't apply
it's lessons to himself. He became
something of fop, strutting around
in fine clothes instead of sticking
to work. Failing to prosper, he
moved the press to New York in
1853 but had no better success there.
Then he went to New Haven where
he rented press from Postmaster
Parker, whose deputy he became.
But he failed to make good there,
as he did later in Philadelphia and
Burlington, N. ].
Benny Mecom had inherited his
uncle's name but none of his genius
for making q success. Finally,
about 1776, he went mad.

in their dotted Swisses and dotted
voiles this summer, take a good
look at the three models illustrated.
Imported dotted Swiss in rose pink
makes the charming and practical
frock for the winsome little miss
to the left. Pin-tucked net and ruff
fled lace edging trim the collar, the
vestee panel and the puff pockets.
A self fabric sash ties in a bow
at the back. ,
The ever-popular imported dotted
Swiss wolfe that works up so beauti-
fully in little girls frocks, is used
for the choice little dress which the
member of the young generation
conferred in the picture is wearing.
Fine shocking in bright rose-red
decorates the attractively gathered
waist. This clever needlework, so
gay and so chic, imparts a French
air to the simple styling of the
frock. Short pulled sleeves and a
young round collar are fiattering de-
tails and in excellent taste. ~
The important member of the
youngest generation seated to the
right in the picture, is wearing a
cunningly styled frock made of
choice pink Swiss organdy with
large white embroidered dots. The
wide collar, the short pulled sleeves
and the front buttoned closing are
edged with white Val lace. This
diminutive society queen wears a
pink satin hair ribbon to match the
little bow at her throat.
And here's final choice bit of
news in regard to what fashionable
little girls will be wearing this sum-
mer. It is all about the adorable
sheer little shirtwaists styled in the
"baby" type such as are sponsored
for grown-ups of sheerest batistes
and organdies or swisses or voiles.
They are lace-trirnmed and hand
tucked to the queens taste.

When Making a Fruit Tart
Mix a little cornf1our with the
sugar before adding it to the fruit.
This will make the juice like
syrup and prevent it from boiling
over.
For Discolored Handkerchiefs.-
Handkerchief that have become
a bad color should be soaked for
"a hours in a quart of cold water
to which teaspoonful of cream of
tartar has been added. After
wards rinse and dry.
Use for Newspapers. - Save
plenty of clean newspapers for the
moth season. Moths loathe print
er's ink, so you'll find the papers
useful when woolies and blankets
have to be stored away.
Polishing Tip.-Wring out your
polishing cloth in pint of water
in which a piece of whitening,
about the size of walnut, has
been dissolved. Use when dry.
This gives splendid polish to
mirrors, brass, and chromium.
Treatment for Linoleum.-Lino-
leum will last longer if, instead of
washing, you rub it all over with
paraffin. This not only cleans, but
preserves. No other polish viii be
needed.
Chocolate Substitute.-When us

use three and one-half tablespoon
fuls of cocoa for each ounce of
chocolate, and add one-haf table
spoonful butter.

ADVENTUROUS
AMERICANS

ElmosScott Watson
Fightin' Irishrnan

EARLY in the Nineteenth century
an Irish lad named Jimmy
Shields ran away from his home in
County Tyrone. The ship on which
he set out for America was wrecked
off the coast of Scotland and he
was one of only three survivors.
Undaunted by this experience, the
boy set out again. An Atlantic gale
drove this ship upon a. reef off the
Carolina coast and Shields, who had
been aloft, was thrown to the deck
with both legs broken. The boat was
wrecked but by an almost miracu-
lous chance he was rescued by a
passing vessel.
After recovering from his injuries,
he enlisted in the army and fought
in the first Seminole Indian war in
Florida, after which he headed for
the new state of Illinois. There he
made living for time by teach
ing French in the French village Of
Kaskaskia!
Then he studied law, soon passed
the bar examinations and within a
lew years was SuCCCSSlVCly ClcClcQ
representative in the legislature,
state auditor and justice of the ILL
nois Supreme court. At the out
break of the Mexican war he raised
a regiment and fell desperately
wounded at the Battle of Cerro
Gordo.
Chosen United States senator
from Illinois he served for six years,
was defeated for reelection and
moved to Minnesota where he was
again sent to the senate. At the
outbreak of the Civil war he was
made brigadier-general and was
again desperately wounded in bat
tie. But he survived and was again
elected to the United States senate
this time from Missouri. When he
died in 1879 Shields had the distinc-
ton of being the only man in Amer
lean history who had served as SEN
ator from three different states.

Patriot and Painter

ZEN. GEORGE WASHINGTON,
- besieging the British in Boston,
wanted accurate drawings of the
enemy's positions. So young Con-
necticut Yankee volunteered to get
them. He crept close to the British
lines and made sketches which
pleased the commander so much
that he made the young fellow a
colonel and his second aide-de-camp.
The young colonel next served as
acknowledgement to General Gates
and in 1778 accompanied General
Sullivan as a volunteer against the
British in Rhode Island. When this
expedition proved unsuccessful, he
resolved to give up soldering.
He went to London to study under
Benjamin West and soon became
the favorite pupil Of that great
painter. When Maj. John Andre,
the British acknowledgement in
America, was caught and hanged as
a spy, the young painter seemed to
the British the logical man to be
used for reprisal. So they put him
in prison. Instead of protesting, the
truculent young Yankee boasted
that he had been an aide to that
"arch REBEL" George Washington,
and was proud of it.
Only the Intervention of his paint
er friends, West and Copley, saved
him from hanging. Lucky for
America that they did! Otherwise
John Trumbull might never have
lived to paint such great historical
works as "The Battle of Bunker
HILL" "The Signing Of the Dec1ara-
ton Of Independence" and "The
Surrender of CORVALLIS at York

For the nutritive value of a cereal
is determined by the grain from
which it is made and by the man
ufacturing pr0cess-not by wheth-
er it is hot or cold. It is desirable
to give whole grain cereals
prominent place in the diet. This
rule can be followed even when
cold cereals are used. For there
are many nourishing ready-to-eat
cereals made from substantially
the whole grain. These appeal to
the palate because they are so
crisp and appetizing. And they
supply important minerals, good
amount of vitamin B and some
vitamin G, in addition to energy
values
A Cold Cereal Analysed
It's interesting to analyze pop
ular ready-to-eat cereal, made
from wheat and matted barley.
We find a wide assortment of nu-
trients, including protein, energy
values, phosphorus for the teeth
and bones; iron for building rich
red blood; and vitamin B which
promotes appetite and aids di-
gestion. It has been estimated
that serving of this cereal
three-fourths of cup-with one
fourth cup of whole milk, will pro-
vide an adult with z per cent of
his total daily requirement Of pro-
tein; Ills per cent of his calcium,
liz per cent of his phosphorus;
9.75 per cent of his iron, and a
total of 125 calories.
Vary the Method of Serving
To help make breakfast inter-
esting, vary the cereal from day
to day. Or offer a choice of sew
eral kinds of packaged ready-to-
eat cereals and allow each MEM
Der of the family to select the one
he prefers. Vary the fruit also.
And occasionally you may COM
bine fresh, canned or stewed fruit
with cereals to make a cereal
sundae." Further variation may
be introduced by using brown
sugar or honey in place Of white
sugar. And on occasion the cere-
ais may be baked into mullins,
waffies or pancakes.
1t is also possible to serve the
eggs in many different forms
poached, baked, scrambled or in
a plain or puffy omelet.
If these suggestions are fol-
lowed, it should be a simple mat
ter for homemakers to serve
tempting wholesome breakfasts
that will send their families away
from the table well fitted for the
days activities.

Colonel Ayres, vice president of
the Cleveland Trust company, was
q school teacher for many years,
and is the author of book called
"The Measurement of Spelling Abil-
ity," one of about a dozen of his
books on educational subjects. He
has written a similar number of
books on business and finance, and,
in his entire range, from spelling
to. selling, he has never overlooked
detail and he is no offhand prophe-
cier-prophecy being his main line,
as contrasted to that of mere mar
ket analysis.
He has logged eight major de-
pressions and eight cycles Of in
fation and deflation, and he gets
the feel of the thing, in about
the same way good cook gets
the feel of a cook book. He was
one of the few financial experts
who saw the 1929 blizzard COM
ing, and said so. On October 3,
1928, he wrote: "The golden age
of American business has come
to an end.'
Nobody was paying much atten-
ton to the muezzin then. He kept
on repeating that the condition of
finance was thoroughly unhygien-
ic," but the wind wasn't right and
the words didn't carry down to the
market place belbw. ~ - e

Colonel Ayres was educated at
