PART TWO) Russians Stronger

But things had changed subtly. Now, Russia had brought her in dependent Far Eastern Army up to strength in men and equip ment and had built Qualifications.
 When her clashes with Japan reached at peak at Lake Buir Nor she boldly revealed her partner ship in a mutual assistanc pact with Outer Mongolia. Japanese ef- forts to open Outer Mongolia promptly subsided.
 The period of eased tension that followed was utilized in further sediment of the North Sea fisher ies and North Sakhalin oil dis putes.
 The oil concessions were re- nweed in October, 1886. But when Japan signed the anti-comitern past in Berlin in November, Rus sia angrily refused an eight year fishery extension. She finally granted one year privileges.
 In mid 1887 Soviet and Japan csc troops clashed at the Amur river. Almost simultaneously Japan opened her war on China, and it became known that China and Russia had a non-aggression pact. Japan suspected Russia of aid to China. From then on dis putes came thick and fast.
 Difficulties Grow
 There were difficulties over the working of the oil concessions. Japan did not meet final payment on the Chinese Eastern Railway. There was a constant exchange of diplomatic notes. Then came al border clash at Changkufeng. Af- ter the customary reconciliation, there was a decided curtaliment of trade between the two coun- tries.

And the harm she does you nay be transient and trivial conl- pared to the psychological damage she is doing the younger children in making them witness to such fould play.

A WOMAN UNFIT FOR AUTHORITY

DEAR s. G.: You may have a whole flock of faults, little or big. Most of us do. And possibly your personality just naturally grates on vour stepinother's nerves. But some how, from the tone of your letter, I think you are a grand girl-or would be, given a decent chance to grow.
 In any event, believe you have tried to give an honest picture of the situation. And say this: No matter what kind of person you are, even if you were lazy, obstreperous and boy-crazy at this tmie, as many girls are temporarily in their middle teens-but as you could hardly be, with so much labor wrung from you-still there could be no justification for your step mothers sneaking and vicious abuse of you.

There's the jab of janitor, for instance. No matter how fine a job she did of keeping the furnace going in her husbands absence, she is glad to see him become boss of the basement once more.
 And there's the job of chauffeur. She may absent-mindedly forget once in a while and start to climb in behind the steering wheel so accustomed has she been to being the family chauffeur - but she really likes being just the back seat driver again, especially when the car needs attention or the en- zine is slow in starting.

Madison, Wis, Nov. 29-(UP) There's no doubt that Eve tempted Adam but 1t certainly wasn't with an apple. Prof. James G. Moore, University of Wisconsin horticulturist, said.
 Eve couldn't have taunted Adam with an apple, because that fruit didn't exist in the the Garden of Eden or any place else, at the time the Bib- lical couple was founding the human race, Moore said.
 The first apples were a wild fruit which grew in eastern and southeastern Europe and in southwestern Asia" he told the Madison Garden club yesterday.
