San LMego, CaL, Jan. 29. iliss Emily Goff believes that it's never too late to wed. At the age of 75 she found herself the blushing bride of Richard Chambers, aged 82. For Emily it was the first attempt and followed two months of "sparking." It was a real romance.

Peking, China, Jan 29. The customs office, discouraged at the leniency with which male examiners have allowed female travelers to pass thru the regulations, has decided to employ sixteen female examiners exclusively to undertake the examination of women's baggages Such a large amount of dutiable goods have been passing thru free in the care of female voyagers that this action is considered necessary.

li is by London, Jan. 29. In the days befoijs Jazz, dancing was a thing of beauty intermingled -with romance. Then jazz came, with it the double bands, one at each of the bait room, so that as soon as one panting set of musicians faded away, the other could commence the unholy din. However, one of London's good resolutions for the New Year, was to suppress the double bands and to re-establish the custom of sitting-out between dances, so that poor little, half-starved Cupid may be resuscitated.

Everyone except the dancing fanatic in favor of the sitting-out. The continuous clanging of the double band has robbed the ball room of its matrimonial potentialities. No flirtation can be carried out satisfactorily to the sounds of breaking crockery and rolling saucepan lids indulged in so much jazz. Sentiment conservatories, and the back staircase are to have a chance this year. Special sitting-out nooks are to be devised so that would-be esto DRY WEATHER IN SWITZERLAND.

OK. SUILCY AUGUSTA, KANSA! Sold by druggists everywhere. 0 Blue 2973 in 1762 Thrift week brought to light the fact that Benjamin Franklin was not only a lover of music and a capable performer on the violin, but the inventor of a musical instrument, the armonica. This instrument, invented in 17G2. when Franklin was in England, was founded upon the "musical glasses," popular at that time.

It consisted of a row of glass globes of graded sizes CRAFT IN JAPAN IS SO COMMON THAT IT DOES NOT AROUSE COMMENT Tokio, Jan. 20. Following the in vestigation which is now being made to unearth the widespread ramifications of the great municipal graft which appears to have undermined the very foundations of the city of Tokio, gunning for grafters In other lines has become a popular sport. Some interesting results are already beginning to show, and incidentally some queer evidence is being brought to light, showing how great latitude Japanese politicians are allowed before they can succeed in shocking popular opinions. A story which seems amusing to western eyes concerns the recent decision of the department of communications to raise revenue by renting the privilege of using the government telegraph posts for advertising purposes.

When this became known an advertising man, named Tatsui, is alleged to have paid one Shimidzu, a member of the diet, 50,000 yen for his services in securing the concession from the tfepartment. Shimidzu was entirely successful in securing the concession, nut Tatsui" was greatly shocked to learn that Shimidzu, instead of preparing to turn over the concession, had formed a company, capitalized for 1,000,000 yen, to handle the plum. The surprising thing, from a western point of view, is that there Is no talk whatever of criminal prosecution in the matter, and the entire affair will probably become only a matter of spirited dispute between the contestants during the coming session of the diet. It illustrates the fact that public political morality in Japan is such that statesmen and officials here are suffered to do daily things which in America or Europe would land them behind the bars, acceptance by public officers of money for political favors being so common that It is' regarded; not only as commonplace, but as one of the recog nized emoluments of 'public office.

tne Armour and Others Extend Into South America and Jet Grip on English Consumer. London, Jan. 20. Apprehensions of a world-wide meat control by Ameri can packing firms were, disclosed in a recent report to the board of trade by a sub-committee of the standing com-i mittee on trusts. present, the American meat companies hare nearly GO per cent the beef output from Argentina and Uruguay and about 75 per cent of the capacity, of the meat plants built or building in the report stated.

"Moreover, they control nearly one-half of the 'whole trade of Smith-field (the great London meat market) and they have also a solid footing in Canada and Australia. "Fears as to the extension of their activities are not confined to the United Kingdom, but are equally 'strong in the dominions' it continues. Extend to South America. "The more they may be able to extend their operations in South America, i the more they may be able to divert eupplies from reaching the United 1 Kingdom and the more they are able to control distributive business here, the more securely they will have the British consumer in their grip." Suggestions were made by the committee to restrain, by taxation and by subsidizing refrigerated shipping companies, the expansion of foreign interests here and an international investigation was recommended to go into the whole situation with a view to taking common action. A rejoinder to the committee's findings is made by R.

II. Cabell, the Ix)n-Uon manager of Armour who in an interview with a Press association! representative, complains tfiat none of the American firms were heard by the committee and charges that the latter's report was compiled "under strong prejudice." Animus Against IT. S. Firms. "Several passages in the report show a clear but very ill-informed animus against the American Cabell states.

Particularly in its reference to Argentina. No one would guess from the report that the Chicago packers entered the Argentine trade at the request, almost at the entreaties, of the British firms which had opened up the territory and had paid heavily for their experience and were anxious to be bought ouL" Mr. Cabell suggests that part of the supposed animus disclosed in the report is due to the reluctance of certain British firms to compete with the "less wasteful and more efficient methods of their American and he the only effect of the report must be -to raise meat prices all over the Kingdom. GET OUT OR GET MARRIED THAT'S WHAT A STAGE STRUCK GIRL HAS TO DO Seattle, Jan. 20.

Like most young women at the age of 10, Gloria Fonua, daughter of a wealthy Seattle Vglove manufacturer, was "6tage struck." The social life that she was asked to lead bored her; it was her idea of nothing to do. Possessing a well trained voice, she had little difficulty getting an engagement with a musical comedy company. But She wanted a stage career and not a matrimonial agency listing. With the T. Frawley company of globe trotters she found that in the Orient the male members of the audience wanted wives rather than chorus girls.

Within four months she had received thirty-two proposals. So she, is back home again quite content to return to society. Of fourteen pretty young women in the company she was one of four to return unwed. I never heard of anvthinsr like it- tshe declared as she left the liner Ecua- dor. "There seems to be about fifty men to every pretty girl in Japan and China and the men bother one almost to death.

I had either to-get out or get married. SUGAR CROP IS GOOD rrospeeta Are for Enormous Yield in Hawaii This Year. Honolulu, T. Jan. 2a There are "prospects for an enormous sugar crop In Hawaii in 1921 with comparatively low prices prevailing, according to a review prepared by the Hawaiian Trust and published by the Honolulu Star Bulletin.

According to this-source, Hawaiian planters will receive an- average price of not more than cents for next year's crop. On the other hand, says the review, there are indications for an increased consumption of sugar next year. The Hawaiian plantations are represented as being on a sound financial basis despite the present depression, but some of them, says the review, will show little, if any, profit next season. The Hawaiian Trust report says that the Crockett refinery in California, approximately iX) per cent of the stock of which is owned in nawaii, has suffered a loss of several million dollars this season owing to inability to dispose of sugar at a price in keeping with the figure at which purchases were made. Consequently, the review points out, while many of the Hawaiian planters seemingly have made large profits in 1120, their losses Incident to the situation of Crockett refinery have reduced income considerably.
