As English is taught in all the high schools of Japan, and as the proportionate number of students in the high schools is the largest in Japan of any country in ine; world, not even excepting Germany before the war or the United States now, the reader may see that the younger gen- oration in Japan is capable of reading and understanding ; books printed in English. TREES ARE PULLED INDIAN REBEL LEADER. ON WALLACE FARM POWER AMI MONEY Entered at the Postoffire In Salem, Oregon, as second class matter CLEARING OF THE BUSINESS SKIES "Taken all in all, the outlook for business improvement during the winter, and particularly in the early spring, seems much better than at any time heretofore. "Nearly all industrial news has of late been favorable; "More interest is being taken by the general public, who evince a willingness to purchase stocks, especially in the dividend class, whenever they sell off a little. Good reason for this disposition is found in the comparative ease of the money market and the optimistic utterances regarding future business by various authorities, the latest being from Gov ernor Harding of the Ftkleral Reserve board, who points out that business conditions are not only very much better than they were a year ago, but there is good reason for believing that wc are in for greater prosperity than We have ever had before." - The above are excerpts from the current weekly letter of Henry Clews, the Wall Street authority. The following is the opening paragraph of the letter: , "Events during the past week, both nationally and inter nationally speaking, have been of first class importance, not only from their political, but from their general economic point ol" view. The settlement of the Irish question, the par tial agreement to readjust the German reparations plan, the approach of the arms conference to a settlement of some at least of the issues by which it has been confronted, and the President's outspoken and constructive position on important . business questions in his message to Congress, have all fur hished helpful factors which have tended to stabilize business and investments. when measured at a temperature of zero, centigrade, the freertn: point for water. t;ivs the stan 'lard meter on which is based the metre system used the world on . for scientific work. It was in enced to equal a 1 0-mililonh part of the distance from the equato to the pole along the meridian of Paris, but later meas urements of the earth have showp that this ideil was not perfectly realized. The corrections havp been recorded, however, so th;U it woul be poss'bl? to recover the standard ot measurement ewn if it should be lost. The unit of time is the second and if all th; clocks in the world should be smashed it could he found again from the fact th:' it is the Ml, 400th part of the mean solar tey.

After British orders for prunes were re ceived, payable in English money, the success of the Wash ington conference sent up the price of that money in Ameri can dollars, so that when the prunes arrived on the other aide and were paid for in London, the English money was ex changeable for about $6000 more in American dollars than it would have been when the orders Were given. This $G000 belongs, of course, to all the members of the prune pool of the association. Henry Ford's proposal, in con nect !on with the Muscle shoals project, for a currency based on units of mechanical power, sug gests a writer in the Springfield Republican, .should interest H. 1 Wells, who ban worked out th same idea in his books. wnat ever the economist may think o ;t. the suggestion should appe;il to scientists for the reason that so much of their work has Kone nto the search for absolute, per manent, and universal standards of measurement. are all derived from phenomena j of Nature and are independent 01 human caprice. To make refined measurements still more fixed and ' certain the physicists have found corroborate standards in the wave length of l'pht. which comes . as near to the absolute as any accessible fact of the universe. I can be seen then, that to the srkntifi" mi::d the gold standard, whatever its practical Advantages, must seem a crude and empirical thing, comparable to- the cubit o the mile (mMle. thousand i of 1000 paces rather than to the pre cise and un'versal measur?iients whuh science employs.

Hut the scientists are so far as yet from command'ng a majority that even their metric system has not vet been universally adopted. The resistance of the- human mind is a factor with which se'ence has to reckon; it makes problems in ohysics appear simple.

Mr. Irwin said that his New York publishers are receiving 150 tc-250 orders for his book from Japan by every mail; largely from individuals. Mr. Irwin concludes from this that there are a great many people in . Japan who believe as he does, that there should be no next ,war that such a thing is too terrible to think about, with the horrors and wholesale wiping out of lives that it would mean. No doubt, thinks Mr. Irwin, some member of the Gen eral Staff in Japan has read the book, to find out what is in it. But it is evident that its contents have gripped the people of that country and the Japanese are buying more copies of the book than all the rest of the foreign peoples of the world. Mr. Irwin has many other facts that convince him that the great majority of the people of Japan want peace, and not . . i At i ii ; . ? i , i i a i : a - iL.. t war, ana mat me lingoisiic ana mim.arisi.ic minority m mai hcWtpr w. t.ipmUv o.a.c. sai.m country is bound, with the proper handling of international ''"JXr a".

"We'll have pink ice cream." I-ouise planned, "and I'll ntirk a holly leaf up In the center of ench dish. And I'll serve those little . red, hard candles that look lilr . holly berries, too." "And what wld you play?" her mother asked. "Charade. " Iconise anwwered promptly.
