LAUNDRY DISCOVERIES When ironing lace, embroidered garments or bedding or any kind of Initials or hnnd unrlt have a piece of an old Turkish towel fastened to one end of the lronlnj. board to lay these pieces on.

The Ironing Is but a few mo-ments' work. With a small line on the piazza for banging small things and baby clothes, the doll clothespins are Just the size to bang them firmly on the cord. When arylng a washed sweater In winter lay It on a cloth on a window screen; place on two chairs over a hot air register. Lay the sweater so that It will dry In Its original form (flat In the back and the fullness In front) pulling out the sleeves to make them roomy. In cold weather when hanging out clothes mittens are unhandy and the Angers get numb so quickly, frr heat-ing the clothespins In the oven until tnod and hot this will keep the hands varm and hurry the hanging process.

TOKYO, YOKOHAMA, IN RUINS America Leads In Relief for the Strick-en Nation British Fleet Ready to Back League of Nations Against Italy Ruhr Passive Resist-ance Collapses. By EDWARD W. PlCKARD HISTORY Cnea not record a that which has over-taken Japan, unless present reports and estimates are greatly exaggerated. Shaken to pieces by violent earth-qunke- s and set ahluze by resulting con-flagrations, Tokyo, the capital, Is three-fourth- s destroyed J Yokohama, the chief sciiport. Is wiped out; nu-merous smaller cities and towns are In ruins, aud the entire eastern half of Hondo, Japan's mala lsand, Is devastated. Latest estimates of the casualties, received by the Japanese legation lu Peking, put the dead at 300,000 or more, of aom 100,000 perished In Yokohama. More thuu a million per-sons are homeless, and the hunger and suffering In the aflllcted region are lutense. It Is not yet possible to esti-mate the monetary losses, but those In Tokyo alone are put at about S10,000,000,(XM). Many Ainu-lcan- s and other foreign-er- a ofllciul. business men and tour-- that part of the world were ordered to and Admiral Anderson, In command of the Pacific fleet, hastened to Yokohama on his flagship the Hu-ron and took temporary charge of the relief work. Later Brig. Gen. F. R. McCoy was made director general of American relief. President Ooolldge directed the State, War and Navy departments to "go the limit" in extending aid, and he announced that this was the busi-ness of first importance before the government. In accordance with the recommendation In his proclamation, contributions from municipalities, or-ganizations and Individuals are being sent to the American Ked Cross, which has offered all Its resources to the Japanese government. The Red Cross has called on the American peo-ple to give $5,000,000. The Salvation Army Is undertaking to raise a like sum, and It got busy promptly In Ja-pan, where It has a large uumber of stations and workers. Along our Pacific const, where the Japanese have not been popular, racial autagonlsm was forgotten. San Francisco, remembering the assistance given by the Japanese when the city was destroyed by quake and fire In 1000, was swift and generous In re-sponse to the call for relief. The Ulce Growers' Association of Califor-nia held practically the entire avail-able supply of rice In the state for Japanese relief mid Its head announced there would be no advance In price and none would be sold to brokers. AH the available fir and ceilur lum-ber on the northwest coust also Is held to supply the Japanese demands for rebuilding and shipping men said most of the freight steamers on the Pa-cific would be pressed Into service to handle the lumber traffic. Forty-fiv- e million feet of the lumber Is to be do-nated by the mills. Some Japanese authorities, dis-mayed and discouraged, said their Is that the council of ambassadors Is competent to deal with the murder of General Telllnl and his staff but that the League of Nations Is the only proper body to deal with the seizure of Corfu. Greece takes the same posi-tion and has offered to post a suffi-cient sura to cover whatever Indemni-ties shall be fixed by the ambassador. Italy has presented to Greece a formal claim for 20,000,000 lire for the cost of the military occupation of Corfu, Paxos and Antlpaxos. PASSIVE resistance in the Ruhr Is at its last gasp, and the German government is moving toward an agreement with France which shall make possible the restora-tion of commercial relations and the resumption of negotiations concerning reparations payments. Chancellor Stressemann Is acting with caution for his position Is precarious, but be does not pretend that passive resistance has not collnpsed, and be practically has paved the way to Its abandonment. This may not be a formal abandon-ment by the government, for It Is al-ready going on In the Huhr, where the workers and the other Inhabitants find they hove reached the limit Strese-man-n says that only a France-Germa- n industrial union will solve the repara-tions problem, and France, it Is said, recognizes that an economic accord with Germany Is Indispensable and will be the best form of guarantee against German aggression. For the present the negotiations for such an agreement are limited to private con-versations between the German and French Industrialist magnates. Perl In was startled Wednesday by the statement that the chancellor had decided on the arrest and prosecution of Dr. Andreas Hermes, finance min-ister tinder Cuno, on a charge of ma-nipulating a huge financial swindle. It was believed the case would Involve) Hiiro Stlnnes. Ists were caught In the dlsuster, and of course some of them were killed. However, the number of American fa-talities was rather small. Among them were Consul Max D. Klrjassotf and Mrs. Klrjassoff, Vice Consul Paul E. Jenks at Yokohama, and Commis-sioner and Mrs. William Eadle In com-mand of the Salvation Army forces In Tokyo. The Japanese emperor and the prince regent escaped death but several members of the royal family and of the nobility were killed. United States Ambassador Cyrus E. Weods notified Washington Tuesday that he, Mrs. Woods and the entire per-sonnel of the embassy were uninjured, but that the embassy buildings were destroyed. It will be many day before com-plete detail! of the disaster are re-ceived, for one feeble radio station baa been the sole means of communi-cation between Tokyo and the outside world. It la known that the tem-blors, which continued several hours oa September 1, not only shook down Innumerable buildings, but also broke all the water and gas mains, and that Area started simultaneously all over the cities and raged for days. Bridges upon which thousands of refugees had gathered collapsed, and other thousands were trapped by flames In the parks, and there perished. Tremendous tidal waves followed the earthquakes and wept over the water fronts, and many vessels went down. It Is reported that a considerable part of the Japanese navy was thus destroyed. The better residence section of Tokyo probably was saved, but Yokohama simply no longer exists. The entire city was burned to the ground, and the corpses lay piled In the streets. Kobe has Japan's chief seaport, and will remain such for a long time. Along the eastern edge of the Island the coast line Is altered and the bottom of the sea has risen. SOONER had the first reports of NOthe catastrophe been received than steps for the quick relief of the strick-en Japanese were taken in allrtvltUed lands. Out of Its great abundance the United States took the lead In this work of mercy, Inspired by the prompt proclamation of President Ooolldge and the equally prompt measures of our navy, army and state ffldals. Within a few hours flotillas f transports and destroyers laden with food and medical supplies, doc-tors and nurse, were steaming to-ward Japan from Manila and (ftilneso wr.Wrs ; all shipping board vessels In country had been set back a full gen-eration; but the more optimistic as-sert that Its recovery will be com-parable to Its emergence from ob-scurity Into a first-clas- s world power within a century. This view Is taken by Baron Watannba of Osaka, prom-inent financier and president of fif-teen of the largest public utility cor-porations In Japan. Interviewed In New York, he said he thought the re-ports of material loss had been ex-aggerated and that the total damage might not exceed three billion dollars. He believes reconstruction In Tokyo and Yokohama cannot be accomplished lu less than three years, and con-tinued : "The Japanese government has suf-ficient funds to undertake this by Itself. In all probability an appeal will be made for Internal loans, fol-lowed by external loans. There Is no doubt that American capital and brains will be asked to assist In re-building the stricken area. It Is too formidable a task for Japan to tackle single handed." PREMIER MUSSOLINI one day last to his cabinet, and to the world, that if the League of Nations Insisted on considering and deciding the Italo-Gree-k embroglio, Italy would withdraw from the league and refuse to recognize Its decision. He also asserted the seizure of Corfu was not a war measure, but that the Greek Island would be held until Italy's demands had been satisfied. How-eve- r, Greece's appeal to the league was taken up by the council lu Geneva, and Slgnor Snlandra, the Italian de'e gate, read a statement from Rome that Indicated Mussolini was cooling down considerably. It was merely that "the Italian government Irrevocably expresses the opinion that the council should not proceed to take the action requested by Greece." Th general belief was that the French and British representatives hnd Induced the Fascist premier to go alow. The council, however, post-poned action on the matter until the council of ambassadors should decide what It could do, and the latter body also delayed, tending further accord between London and Paris. Lord Itohert Cecil Is Insistent 'that the league shall handle the affair, and it was said in Indon that the govern-ment had determined to back up the league with all the power of the Brit-ish fleet, acting as the league's fleet, which might mean forcibly ejecting the Italians from Corfu The British view GOVERNOR PINCHOT was still last week to bring about a settlement of the unthraclte coal strike, and seemingly was mak-ing some progress.. Each side was said to be moderating Its demands In some degree. It seemed likely the operators would abandon their demand for arbitration, and that the miners would accept the 10 rer cent wage In-crease for contract miners and would modify tbe check-of- f demand. ONCE more tbe soldiers of tha Army of the Republic, survivors of the Civil war, have met In annual reunion, this time in Mil-waukee where on Wednesday tome ten thousand of them trudged bravely If haltingly In parade between solid walls of cheering, weeping spectators. Not one of these marchers was less than seventy years of age and many were forced to drop out of the line of march. Gaylord M. Saltzgaber of Van Wert, O., was elected commander In chief. The Woman's Relief corps also held Its yearly meeting, and Mrs. Belle W. Bliss of Baraboo, W'Ul, was elected president.

LOCKS ON DOORS A PUZZLE Architects Wonder Why People Insist on Having Locks Through-out tha House. It has long been a question with architects why people should have doors throughout the house so com-pletely equipped with locks. Why, for example, should all the closet and oedroorn doors have locks? Did you ever lock your bedroom door? Prob-ably not. It may be desirable to put locks on closet doors. Do not put a lock on a door Just because It Is a door. Perhaps, after all, you will never lock It. At any event a bolt or a Jiunib turn will serve all the purposes of a lock and you will not have a key to look after. However, It should be said that a aiortlsed latch will usuntly cost more than a bit key lock. Of course If you have a small boy In the house you will want a lock on the pantry door. Some people have thought It desirable to hare one closet In the house equipped with a good cylinder lock. Such a closet may come In very handy it certain times, perhaps if for noth-ing else than as a space in which to store the family skeleton.
