Let, Not Mix In

When our state department indicates it is willing to act
mediator in the BrtshJapanese dispute in the Orient
is not expressing the will of the American people.
This nation wants to stay of the orenas mediator
any other role To act mediator in this delicate stua
ton could very easily get mixed right up in
The situation isn't one merely of medating local dis
putein ITSELF the present crisis is merely an incident in
the great struggle for the Orient that racial as well
political.
The Japanese-rghtly wrongly you please-believe
the orient should belong to the orenta and decision
should render mediator that did not take that stand
would be considered an insult by Japan.
On the other hand, England believes that her military
conquests of weaker nations throughout the world gives
her sovereignty these people, and decision not
ey favorable to Britain would be offensive to the conquer
ing Englishman.
Americans sincerely desire world peace; but our own
peace is more important.
Acting mediator in any dispute among war-minded
nations would be dangerous; to act mediator in this
QUARREL with its deep racial problems n-
volved, might be disastrous.
Let's stay in nAmerica and let Japan and England iron
out their difficulties If both sides sincerely desire
they can easily find solution to their quarrel

II VIII Be Old Stuff
To "Rieney Twins"
Daughters Of Pioneer
Saw Railroad Come In
Story Begins When Irish
Lad Joins American Army
In Company Sent TO
Protect Settlers
A MONG the highlights Of the
historical review to be pre-
scented at the Stadium July 20
to % as part of Tacomas cele-
bration of the 50th anniversary
of statehood will be scenes con-
corning the coming of the
Northern Pacific. Generally
speaking, to the thousands who
see the spectacle those scenes
will mean no more than any
others. but to the "Rigney twins"
Mrs. Rose O'Donnell and Mrs.
Marcella Henly, of Steilacoom,
they will have deep personal
significance. The railroad cpl
sodes will recall to twins the
fear that gripped them when the
railroad surveyors ran their
lines through the new house
John Rigney had built on his
homestead, "Rigney HILL" and
the later thrill when they saw
their first locomotive.
II the Incidents referred to
concerned anybody but the
"Rlgney twins" they might be
dismissed with just n casual
reference to the railroad cpl
sode, but the mere mention Of
name "Rigney" starts a train
Of thought that wildly re-
calls the background of the
period which brought the rail-
road to Puget Sound. In fact,
had 1t not been for some of
the activities Of pioneers like
John Rigney and the Chap
mans and Bigelows, II Is
doubtful II the railroad would
have reached Tacoma for
many years after the date Of
the scenes which the twins
recall SO wildly.
The story really should begin
with the hard times in New
York in 1S45. That year an
Irish lad, John Rigney, landed in
New York, looking for job.
He couldn't find one and as a
last resort dropped into one of
the recruiting stations where
men were being enlisted for
service In Mexico and on the
Pacific Coast. He proved to be
the type that made good sol
diers and In few months he
was in regiment bound for
Mexico.
II was a long, slow journey.
BY the time the vessel reached
the point of debarkation, a
campaign planned by Maj.
Isaac Stevens, who became the
first governor of Washington
territory. and other army
leaders, had won the war. The
troops were unloaded but
there was no more fighting
and in a few months the regi-
ment was back In New York.
The next episode in the story
of the Rigney family was the
marriage of the young Irish
soldier and Catherine Elizabeth

Mr.. Fixit: In Major Doves
units, are there any that just
play locally, or In a few states,
or do they all make . complete
circuit throughout the United
States. And does the length
of the tour depend on the finan-
clal success of the expedition:
NJ. I.
The length OF the tour and its
route depend entirely upon the
units ability to make its own
way. The major is not a philan-
thropist but a Snowman. Tours
are not fixed but arranged TO
follow the bookings.
Mr.. Fixit: VIII you kindly
tell me how 10 make rose Oil:
MRS. A. s.
Roses aren't grown in SUI
ficient quantity around these
parts for manufacture Of rose
otto" or oil OF roses. The in
dustry almost Is limited to Bull
garia, where roses are grown
intensively a. crop for that
purpose.
The flowers are collected be-
fore they are open and while
covered with dew before sunrise.
In collecting them and getting
them to the place of manufac-
ture, care il taken to keep them
moist so they will not ferment.
Then about rs pounds OF rose
petals and 20 gallons of water
are put into boilers and dis
titled. The distillate which comes
off Is put In with more petals
then and again distilled. After
about four or five distillings, in
which each time enough more
water II added to keep the
liquid about the same proper
ton, it Is distilled alone. The
first gallon which comes off
then Is kept separate. The oil
which rises to the top Of it Il
drained off.
The Bulgarians use a mixture
Of red and white roses, never
white alone.
Mr.. Fixlt: Could you tell me
under what light materials be-
come fluorescent. what types of
globes create these lights and .
few minerals which become fIuor-
escent. l Also would like to
know where these globes can
he obtained and IL any type Of
mineral Ia always fluorescent.
X. X.
Fluorescence, which Is not re-
stricted to minerals, Ia notice.
able under a blue glow which
contains near ultraviolet light.
1t is produced usually by a mer-
curry vapor arc. Globes used for
this are manufactured by Gen.
erai Electric Co., which has its
main offices at Hoboken, N. J.
1t Is our understanding that
sodium and calcium compounds,
among other things, react to
that kind Of light. The ultra
violet light must be present
without too much visible light.
Mr.. Fixit: Did Sam Jaffe, the
man who took the role Of Gunga
Din In the picture Of the same
name, have the lead In the pic
ture, The Man Who Laughs":
This picture was released about
10 or 10 years ago. This answer
will settle quite . heated argu-
ment. II. M. l..
Only other pictures We can
find listed in which Sam Jaffe
played were THE Scarlet EN-

ball out there. He intends to keep
the ball as souvenir At bat, he
struckout once, was hit by a
pitched ball and drove three hard
ones to second and third. Next
game, Bud Caring will try to do
better job. The odds are two
to one on Waite.
Mario Hernandez was the hit
ting fool of the contest. Wickers
was close behind him. Mario
knocked out a home run, a double
and two singles, while Wickers
poled a four-bagger and three
singles. Barcelo also cracked out
a round-tripper. Dickey Navarro
hit home run but was called out
for not touching a bag. Alonzo
Slammed a triple to deep center
and a double to left center, cou-
pied with a single base blow.
The wonderful catch made by
Bernard Waite in the field was
the outstanding feature of the
game. c. Garcia also executed
come fancy catches and losses, as
cid Mario Hernandez and I. Rod
riguez.
Jose (Chee) Hernandez, a ball
player with II years of expert
ence in Glass AA and Class A
baseball and who played several
winters in Cuba with the Ha-
bana and Almondares club, is
now making his home perman-
emily in this city. He umpired
the game yesterday and although
he claimed the contest was a mer-
ry-go-around, he does see some
very good talent in the two clubs
and although he has not seen the
other two clubs in action he has
been told they are very good. He
is anxious to see sornelof the 9TH
er pitchers. He is. in the market
for a moundsmen.f HE has .seep
various players in Tampa and
Cuba. Mr.. Hernandez is staying
at lib Varela street and will be
here permanently, as he is an en-
ploye of the Key West-Havana
Cigar Company, recently opened
here.
