MANDATES QUESTION BEING CONSIDERED American and Japanese Govern ment* Adopt Equally Firm Attitude* in Regard to Statu* of Island of Yap Washington, April 19.?The Am erican and Japanese government have adopted equally firm attitudes with respect to the status of the Pacific island of Yap. The diplo matic exchanges between them on the subject is continuing, but those to date were made public today both 'nr-c.von^ Trtlfvn Thev eon iu nasuu^iA/u M?iu *v-?v ? sist of two memoranda and three formal notes. Japan, in its last communication received here in the closing days of the Wilson administration, insisted that it had been awarded a mandate for the island by the supreme coun cil at Paris, May 7, 1919, and that it could not agree with the Ameri can contention that irrespective of any award of mandate other nations should have free access to the island for the landing and operation of cables. In replying to this note, April 5, Secretary Hughes stated emphatical ly that the United States would not be bound by any action, either of tiie supreme council or of the league of nations and that as no . one had e*er been "authorized to surrender xa cede" the right ' of the United .ttates in the island, the American I government could not "recognize the allocation of the island or^the valid ity of the mandate to Japan." v Mow Under tonuaeranoii. . The Japanese government now has this communication under considera tion. The governments of Great Britain, France and Italy also have before them a similar communcation on the subject dispatched by Mr. Hughes at the same time that the note to Japan went forward. Ex changes between the four allied gov ernments are understood to be un der way with a view of reaching a common accord before replying. Meantime, however, France has sent a preliminary reply in which she spates that the matter is one for the supreme council to consider at its next meeting in May and that /when it comes up she will approach it with a view to finding a solution which will give every satisfaction to the United States. GERMANS ARE ORDERED TO TRANSFER GOLD % ?? Paris, April 19.?The allied re parations commission announced to day that it had given Germany until April 22 to transfer the gold hold ings of the Reichsbank, the German imperial bank, to the Coblenz and Cologne branches of the bank. If Germany refuses to comply with the ultimatum, the commission, it states will require the immediate delivery of the gold to the commission it self. In the event of the transfer of the gold to the branches named, the sum may continue to figure as part of the balance of the Reichsbank, the commission explains, but the German government would have no right to dispose of it without obtaining pre vious authority from the commission to do so. It was semi-officially announced in Berlin Monday that the reparations commission had verbally notified German officials that the gold re serve of the Reichsbank and other German issuing banks, must be de posited before May 1, either in Cologne or Coblenz, as security for reparations. The semi-official an nouncement added that the German government had declared the de mand to be unacceptable under any circumstance. 'fhp fitnirps on f-Jip cnlH holdings of the Reichsbank, continu ed in the bank's statement for April 7, showed that on that date there were 1,091,602,000 marks.

Incident Proves That Art of Shopping Has Not Been Altogether Thrown iri Discard. A dignified-looking woman stepped ap to a showcase in the meat market, and after she had bought several pieces of meat, she asked: " "Hrfve you any shlnbone that I could use for soup stock?" "Juat the thing," responded the obliging clerk as he took up a long shlnbone and knuckle and balanced it on his left hand. "What 4s It worth?" asked the woman. "JUSt a nau-uonar, sum uc. "It is such a large piece, would you mind cutting it at the Joint?" "Sure, I will," he replied. After cutting off the large knuckle be again balanced the long, slim shin bone on his band and said: "You may have this for 40 cent#." The woman looked at the piece for a moment, then at the knuckle and said: "Is that piece you cut off worth only 10 cents?" The clerk hesitatingly replied: "Yes, madam." "All right," said the woman, "111 take that knuckle." .. , . The clerk waited a moment, looked at the woman, then actually laughed nloud. But he was game and will ingly wrapped up the 10-cent soup bone. NO WONDER THEY LAUGHED American Soldier in Paris Had Made a Small Mistake in Copying the Street Name. 3 During the war, while I was on leave of. absence in Paris, relates a re turned soldier, I decided to take a walk alone. I thought it advisable t? copy down the name oI the street In which I was staying, so I wrote down some words printed on the sidewalk. When T w&s reafly to return I fonr.G rhat I could not .locate the street mv hntpl was so I annroHChed a woman, showed her what I had writ ten In my book, and tried to learn from her where the place was. She laughed and said something In French, which, of course, I did not under stand, and passed on. A number of times I did the same thing, and every one I stopped laughed, and passed on until a man said in English, "What is it.you want?" Delighted to find that I had discov- I ered one person who spoke English, I sold, "That is the name of the street I where I am staying, and I am lost. Will you please direct me?" "Tou haven't written down a street name," said the man, "but 'post no bills.'" Skidding Is Overcome. Attention is called in a circular re port from Sydney, Australia, to a new invention of a front-drive vehicle which entirely prevents skidding. A test over 36,000 miles of rough road has been made, It is claimed, with no signs of wear. The front wheels are pivoted in the center, which enables the steering of the car with much greater ease than In the rear-wheel driven machine. The device is now attached to an old. worn British car which, prior to the attachment of the device, weighed 32 cwt., with a speed of thirty-eight miles an hour traveling fifteen miles on one gallon of gasoline. After alteration and application of the front drive device, the car weighs 35 cwt., has a speed of forty-five miles an hour and will go seventeen and one half miles on a single gallon of gaso line: ' Tuberculosis in France. That of 368 antituberculosis dis pensaries in France only ten per cent are situated In Paris was hailed as a "happy omen" at the second interna tional conference. .Only a few organ isations were actively engaged in anti tuberculosis work in France before the war. Today, largely through the activity of the Rockefeller Founda tion, In addition to the dispensaries mentioned, there are 10,000 sanitarium beds for tuberculous patients; many hospitals have provided isolation wards; the boarding out of anaemic children in rural homes has been or ganized on a large scale, and there is national co-operation of all the agen cies concerned. British Soldiers and New Roads. S/imo su>vpn anil n half million dol lars' worth of new road construction has been taken in band by various British cities to provide work for the unemployed. According to a report of the British information service of the Bankers' Trust company, the ministry of transportation contributes one-half of the cost?probably out of funds ac cumulated for that purpose for many years by the development commission ?and lends to the municipalities the other half for five years, repayable In annual installments. Ex-service men, after due registration at a labor ex change, receive preference among ap plicants. Unquestioning Admirer. "Are you an admirer of Jeffersonlan simplicity?"

Cjlemson Go31e|ge.?iMites btfped principally in cracks, crevices dust and trash, nests, roosting places and other congregating places of the thickens. The first step in control should be to clean such places and burn all refuse after which they should be sprayed with any of the following solutions: First, lime-sulphur wash, one gal. i 1at? nrofov Q ?oIIatiq i\jii | u Second, creolin, 5 teaspoonfuls; water, one gallon. Third, kerosene, one part; crude | petroleum, 4 parts. The roosts, nests and other places | of congregation may also be painted with the following "mite paint" to control mites: ' kerosene, 1 gallon; crude carbolic acid, creolin or coal tar, 1 pint. _ .Precaution. Be sure to see that all chickens are removed from the places to be treated before any of the mesaure given above is started. Fleaj. Fleas are sometimes found on the heads of chickens often causing the | chicks to die quickly. This pest I breeds in the sam<? places as mites, j and the same clean up measures should be practiced. When fleas are found on the chicks, grease the heads with an ointment of one part of kerosene to three parts of lard; or smear a few drops of castor oil over the infested parts. The castor oil treatment can be best applied as follows: "Buy a small bottle of castor oil and a medicine dropper Either tape the glass dropper, or tie a small strip of cloth around it, so it will fit the mouth of the bottle When you catch a chick with fleas, smear a few drops of the castor oil over the fleas and rub it around with the end of the dropper. One application will kill fleas." For furr ther detailed information write for Extension Bulletin 16 and Farmers' Bulletin 801. PRESERVE EGGS NOW FOR FALL AND WINTER USE Clemson College, April.?Spring is v.he season of surplus eggs and it is jconomy to store away an ample supply now for use when eggs are scarce and more expensive. If a supply has not already been put away' n water-glaas there is still time to do so in April and May. All that is needed is a solution of water-gless or odium silicate, which may be had \t drug stores, one or more stone jars >r galvanized iron vessels and a upply of fresh eggs. Directions. Boil and cool ten quarts of water md m'x with one quart of liquid 'ater-glass. Pour this into the con ainer after sterlizing it with boiling vater. The container should 1 out half-full of the preservative. The eleven quarts as prepared above will properly cover say 18 dozen eggs in a six-gallon jar or other vessel. The solution should cover the top layer oi? eggs two inches. It is not necessary to fill the jar with eggs at once, and fresh eggs may be added a few at a time. Use only fresh, clean, unwashed eggs, preferably in fertile ones. Washing removes the natural protective coating over the fresh ejjg. Eggs with ordinary soil ing may be used but very dirty ones should be discarded. Do not use cracked eggs. / Keep the jar covered and stored in a cool place. A cloth soaked in water-glass and placed while wet over the top of the container will adhere strongly and make a good? cover.
