RIVERS (, - 1923, by McClure TUTILDRED fresh and dress of pretty in a navy-blu- e sheerest voile, tapped a slim sandaled foot upon the granite curbing of the sidewalk until the car for the subway jangled along. Mildred, at twenty, had received her first thrill. It was, unfortunately, a second-han- d romance, and an old, familiar story. But to Mildred, experiencing for the first time the powers of her feminine beauty, it was a highly perfumed, intoxicating romance. For instance, the night before, when all the other members of her family fanned and fussed on the little screened-iporch, Mildred, lying In the dark upon a humpy mattress in her cramped bedroom, had brought forth in such clear detail every little bit of her romance that the ugly room and even the intense heat had faded Stop their pain in one minute !

A pipe-smok- ers . challenge to other smokers Is there a smoker in the audience who can Nearly every smoker is particular about the kind of tobacco that goes into his pipe. While he may smoke a pipeful from a friends pouch for the sake of companionship, for day-osmoking he prefers his own brand. t And yet if you ask the average smoker what it is he likes about hie tobacco, he may have difficulty in answering you immediately. Mr. Joe Rivers, whose letter follows, is a confirmed Edgeworth smoker. In attempting to describe what he likes about Edgeworth, he coins the word But as this does not entirely satisfy him, he puts the question up to other Edgeworth smokers. day-in-an- d- ut Luua & Brother Company, Richmond, Va.

However, the one outstanding feature of Edge-wortas seen by most smokers, is its uniformity. Year after year, smokers can be sure of getting the same high-graquality of tobacco.

The junior partner was darts, charming, considerate, appreciative of a nice bit of work and friendly. So friendly that the day before, when Mildred had taken in some letters to be signed, he had expressed dismay that a rush of business made it necessary for the girls to work during the hot afternoon. Couldnt he drive Mildred down to one of the beaches that evening to cool off? Mildred had stammered a polite refusal. The next evening, then he insisted and Mildred had agreed. The little kink that made it a second-hand romance was the fact that the junior partner was married. Two horridly persistent voices argued rapidly inside Mildreds head while the car jangled along to the subway. His family has been at the beach for weeks, and hes lonely, pleaded the first voice. I Yah, jeered the second voice. bet hell tell his wife all about it, too. Oh, whats the harm in a ride? asked the first voice. And whats the harm in a kiss? derided the second. Remember, he tried to kiss the switchboard operator and she slapped his face. The first voice became stubborn. Maybe she lied. Anyway, Im going. Across the car, a comrhuter was absorbed In the last page of his morning Post. The front page sprawled its inviting headlines toward Mildred. She read them rapidly; then her gaze moved upward to the Daily Quotation at the top of the page, a feature of the paper for some time past. Aim to attain your goal, but know you this, Rather than harm your soul, tis best to miss. R. N. L. She read it but once. The words seared themselves into her brain like live, burning coals. The car suddenly became suffocating. She left the subway and walked an extra block to her work. Aim to attain your goal . . . Long ago she had decided that her goal would be to get the most of fun and happiness out of life. Rather than harm your soul, tis best to miss. Would it harm her soul, she asked herself, unhappily. Oh, it would, it would, she decided honestly. She made her lame excuses to the Junior partner when she went in for his dictation. She was sorry, but her mother had unexpected guests and needed her at home that evening. Maybe some other time. The senior partner cocked one eye at her and smiled quizzically, as if to say, There wont be any other time, my dear. Toward noon Mildred saw him bending confidentially over the desk of the new switchboard operator. They apparently reached some sort of an amicable decision, for the operator smiled to herself the rest of the day. Mildred saw them go out together at closing time, and banged out on her typewriter, with maniacal speed, a whole page full of "VIRTUE IS ITS OWN REWARD. The motto was very disconsoling. The next morning Mildred appeared at work buoyed and freshened by a heaven-sen- t east wind instead of romance. She was still a little bit sore to think of the good ride she had missed because of a newspapers Daily Quotation. All night long she had heaped bitter invectives upon the head of this unknown moralist, R. N. L. The girls in the dressing room were talking In low, excited tones. Havent you read the mornings papers? Mildred hadnt. She had privately determined never to read another one. The junior partner was in an accident last night. Had the switchboard operator out with him." Mildred paled. Not No. killed? But theyre both In the hospital Woof! Any girl who would take a chance going out with a' married man ought to get spilled. Mildred walked soberly across to her desk. As she bent over her machine, she closed her eyes for a moment and sent a silent message flying through space. I dont know who you are, R. N. she breathed, but I owe you a L., big lot for that quotation. He Helped. Judge Did you keep a public house? Prisoner Well, not alone, but I did my share.

The colonel had only two types of stories, one concerning his amorous adventures, the other his adventures while tiger shooting. It was night in the mess and the colonel, as was his wont, began to tell an exciting story of an encounter with a wounded tigress which sprang at him before he could reload and bore him to the ground. At the critical moment an orderly entered to report that the G. O. 0. wished to speak to the colonel on the telephone and the colonel was compelled to break off abruptly.

But there are differences as well as likenesses between these two Island nations. Since she began to grow into an empire Great Britain has absolutely turned her back on Europe in so far as territorial acquisitions are concerned, and has sent her colonists into the remote parts of the world. Japan, on the other hand, has acquired large blocks of the neighboring continent, but has expanded somewhat in other directions also. Great Britain lias become the headquarters of a scattered, distant empire. Japan has remained so far the center of her empire with her possessions drawn relatively closely about her. Though Japan had imperial ambitions even in the early centuries, as indicated by the fact that she once conquered Korea, and laid claim in the Sixteenth century to Formosa and even the Philippines, fhe national life, when Commodore Perry opened communications with the AVest in 1854, was confined to the three main southern islands of Japan proper and the small islets near their shores. Not until the seventies did the government begin development of Yezo, the big island to the north the Japanese Scotland. Both Russia and Japan claimed Sakhalin, the fifth and northernmost of the large islands of the Japanese group, and there were similar double claims .to the Kurile group, a chain of small volcanic islands, comparable to the Aleutiana, which stretch from Yezo northeastward to the tip of Kamchatka. In 1875 Russia Induced Japan to take the Kuriles and relinquish all claims to Sakhalin. Beginning of Her Expansion. These expansions to the north were of little value, for the cold, bleak northern lands have never appealed to Japanese colonists. Yezo is sparse ly settled, and the Kuriles have only a handful of Inhabitants. Japans next step was to the south. In 1879 she anu nexed the archipelago, extending from the southernmost of the large Japanese islands southwestward for 700 miles to Formosa. China laid claim to these small but pleasant and populous islands, as she did to Formosa, but she finally consented to Japans annexing them. Japans victorious war with China In 1895 gave her immediate territorial advantage and in addition greatly heightened her prestige among the nations. China ceded the island of Formosa (now officially known as Taiwan) with its 13,000 square miles of territory and its 3,500,000 inhabitants; and the Chinese peninsula of Liaotung on Port Arthur is which battle-scarrenow situated; and acknowledged the of Korea. Russia, Independence France and Germany forced Japan to relinquish the Liaotung peninsula, and Russia later leased it from China ; but e war placed it the again in Japanese possession, and the Island empire now holds it under a lease. By defeating Russia, Japan further extended her influence both on the mainland - of Asia and among the Islands. She obtained a protectorate over Korea, a sphere of Inin Manchuria, and the cesfluence sion of the southern half of the island of Sakhalin. As a result of the World war, Japan4 has made further territorial advances north, east, south and west. Her sphere of Influence has Included eastern Siberia, she took over for a time the German lease on Klaochow In China, and by receiving a mandate for the three archipelagoes of former German islands in the Pacific north of the equator, she has fared thousands of miles eastward into the Pacific. The magnitude of Japans present Ill-Lu-Ch- d Russo-Japanes- in Tokyo. terects in the Pacific can better be understood, perhaps, by imagining her island territories transferred to the more familiar Atlantic and the directions reversed. The various groups of Japanese islands would then extend from the Shetland islands southward along the coast of Europe and Africa for 2,700 miles. Formosa would be situated just north of the Cape Verde islands. The Marianne or Ladrone Islands of the mandate would occupy a position near the Azores ; and the hundreds of islands of the Caroline and Marshall groups (the remaining mandate islands) would string out across the Atlantic from near the Cape Verdes almost to Cuba. Honolulu, under this transposed geography, would occupy about the position of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Good Naval and Trading Base. As direct outlets for emigration, Japans mandate islands, because of their restricted area, are of little importance. But as bases to facilitate naval operations and trading activities to the south and east they are comparable in importance to Hawaii as bases for the westward activities of the United States. And Japan means to make the islands pay for their She is stimulating the syskeep. tematic planting of coconut groves, and her traders are fast replacing foreign goods in the islands with those of Japan. The islands add only a fjew thousand miles of territory and some 50,000 people to the Japanese empire. But the scattered points of land fence in approximately one million square miles of the Pacific. Though Japan has grown to a greatness in world councils perhaps not dreamed of In 1853, the spirit of kindliness then established between her and the United States by the visit of Commodore Matthew Galbraith Perry has continued to mark their relations. This opening of Japan to the world by an American constitutes one of the most important events in our history. The story of Perrys voyage to Japan has all the glamour of the stories of the Orient, and is fascinating beyond the imagination of the most fertile novelist.

Harrying nothing, observing every ewemony that could appeal to those he would win as friends, Perrys success marked him as a diplomat of the first water, When the negotiations had reached a stage where the high contractin; parties had about agreed, Hayashl wished to Insert a clause that no American woman should be brought to Japan.
