SAFETY OF ALIENS PROBLEM
Early Action of Powers in China Is
Held Necessary.
Washington, D. C. Suported by
specific presidential approval of the
policy he has mapped out for dealing
with the Chinese problem, Secretary
Kellogg was back from his interrupt
ed vacation Monday awaiting results
of conferences in Pekin and elsewhere
through which the protocol powers
are expected to work out ways and
means of insuring the protection of
their nationals in Ciina.
There was no indication that the
diplomatic conversations in various
capitals had as yet reached a stage
where the exact course to be followed
could be forecast. As Mr. Kellogg
himself pointed out after his confer
ence with President Coolidge last
week at the summer White House, the
policy of (lie Washington government
was based on the desire to give ef
fect to the commitments into which it
had entered with respect to China at
the Washington arms limitation conference.
The chief features of those com
mitments, in view of present condi
tions in China, relate to a resolution
calling for the creation of a commis
sion to study and report on the ques
tion of reliriauisliing extra-territorial
ights in China, on the one hand, and
I lie treaty engagement for a revision
of Chinese customs rates on the other.
With relation to the extra-territorial
questions the Washington government
has confined its suggestions to the
other powers to the proposal that the
lommisslon, provided for by resolu
tion No. 5 adopted by the Washington
(inference, be appointed at an early
date so a beginning can he made on
what is certain to be a long process of
discussion and debate. All of the gov-
rnments whose nationals are iuvolv
d in the Chinese disturbances are
signatory lo that resolution.

parent a year ago.
While agreeing that some reduc
Hon in the surtax and inheritance
J rates is desirable, some leaders at
least among the democrats and tin
republican insurgents who combined
to defeat the Mellon plan are inclin
ed to tho view that there are other
fuctors which should have first at
tention,
While they have as yet had no con
ferences for exchanges of views, these
leaders are giving study to a proposal
outlined recently by Chairman Cou
zens of the special senate tax in
vestigatlng committee for repeal of
the nuisance taxes and of the levies
on small incomes, with a reduction
then as far as might be in the surtax
rate.
Indications now are that in the
coming fight between the executive
and legislative branches the lines are
not going to be drawn as sharply
as they were a year ago.
When the new congress convenes in
December the republican organization
will find itself with a nearer approach
to an actual working majority than it
has had in a number of years. There
are also signs that the democrats will
be less a unit on the larger question
of policy than they were at the time
of the enactment of the last revenue
measure.
The actual amount of tax reduc
Hon which the administration rec
ommends will depend in a very large
measure upon the actual and indi
cated treasury surplus.
Whether the negotiations soon to
be entered into by this country with
Fiance, Italy and Belgium progress
to the point whero their results can
be translated Into the new tax law
remains for future determination. The
interest on these debts, if refunded
in this same terms as was the British
debt, would approximate in excess of
$200,000,000 annually.
Gotham Growing Safer.
New York. Continued reduction
of crime here was shown In figures

crease was noted in the number of
holdups with 123 less committed in
the first half ot 1925 than In the same
period of 1924, the report stated.

from June 16 to 29, inclusive. The
record attendance was on June 16.
when 190S persons visited the veteran
warship.
XX7HKN you are dejected and shad
T ows darkeu your spirit; when the
sun has lost its cheer, and the beauty
and the fragruaee uf the flowers are
gone, it is time to look about for a
new domain.
It is not so much a new physical
domain that you need as u new mental
domain, where thoughts are changed
and Joyous visions troop gaily by
against unfamiliar background.
The old notion that when one Is
tired out in body and brain, one needs
to recuperate in strange lands, Is
taboo.
To dismiss customary routine, vex
ing thoughts, Is really the principal
thing to do. When you can do this
you will discover to your delight that
your former energy responds to your
call with an alacrity that is astonish
ing. Rest does not consist of indolence.
Idleness dulls the mind of customnrlly
Industrious men and women, and In
duces another form of dissatisfaction
and weariness which Is frequently
more exasperating and nerve-racking
than is mental or physical labor.
You may not be conscious of it, but
when you realize thut you are tired
through and through, you are in a rut
from which you must pull yourself out
by your own exertion, aided by faith
in your strength to do so,
Change your diet, add an extra hour
to your sleep before midnight, depart
from customary amusements, pursue
an entirely different course In reading,
seek out old friends whom you have
for some cause or another long neg
lected, take brisk walks in the open
air, bathe In the sunshine, and In n
short time you will be amazed at the
improvement in both your bodily and
mental prowess.
You will find that the old sluggish
ness has been lost somewhere along
the way, that your mentality Is more
alert, that there Is a new r.est In life,
a stronger beat of the heart, two
brighter eyes and two cheeks of a
rosier hue whose reflection In the
looking-glass Is a delight to behold.
And the most gratifying part of all
may be the thought that you wrought
the wonderful change by your own
will without spending anything except
your energy, which needed the
changes to stir It up and start It go
ing again at its customary gait.

THE YOUNG LADY
ACROSS THE WAY
npliK children of the family being
very Important members, should be
thoughtfully fed. The English custom
of having a table of their own, where
they are not permitted any compromise
between what they ought to have and
what they want, is ideal. The result Is
sturdy, healthy youngsters. This sys
tem is followed In some measure here,
but the most from necessity; others
fron indifference allow the children
to eat at the family table, often having
food that is extremely bad for them,
because they cry for it. For the sake
of Immediate peace, they are indulged
witli a sacrifice of manners, morals
and physique. The average mother
cannot serve two sets of meals, so It
is necessary that for the good of the
children such food as they may eat
should be served. Fortunately the
young child who has never been pam
pered will need but little variety to
stimulate the appetite. Taught early
to like and eat all kinds of vegetables,
the bai tie though fierce, will be short.
Men and women are much more
healthy, easy to live with and pleas
anter to entertain who have been
trained in youth to like all kinds of
good food.
Mashed Potatoes With Peanut Butter.
Mash, season and whip boiled pota
toes until light and fluffy. Heap into
a hot vetgetable dish and dot with
spoonfuls of peanut butter which has
been blended with dairy butter.
When there Is a little chicken left
over, not enough to serve, put a layer
of cooked macaroni Into a buttered
dish, add n layer of the cooked chick
en and a little cream or n thin white
sauce; repeat, adding seasonings need
ed, cover with buttered crumbs and
bake until the crumbs are brown.
Rhubarb Pudding.
Cut fresh rhubarb into small pieces,
mix with sugar and put Into a baking
dish with well-buttered bread, left In
slices or cut into cubes. Set in the
oven to bake until the rhubarb Is soft.
Serve hot or cold.
Lettuce with a plain French dress
ing Is a salad which may be given the
children. Plenty of spinach, beet
greens and water cress, as well as
other green ienf vegetables are Inval
uable to the growing child.
