HA?ADA SAYS JAPAN
LACKS IN LITERATURE
Karuizawa, Japan, Aug. 2.-Asso
elated Preiss Correspondence)-Be
cause no writer of first rank in Japan
lias chosen the war as a subject of
writinr. Japan 1? shown to be a
peace-loving and not a warlike na
tion, according to the conclusion oi
Dr. T. narada, tho President of the
Doshlsha University of Kyoto. This
eminent Jupaneso scholar, who re
ceived lils American training In Yale
University, delivered tltls opinion dur
ing an add n us to the Hummer r?si
dents association on "The i'urn c
Literature of Japan." lils audience
waB chic tl y American.
"What Japan lacks in literature,"
he Buid, "ns In other departments of
life, lu a leader or a person of author
ity for the nation. There ?is no
Pukugawa ac a writer, no Nlsima as
a religious leader, no Nogi at thc
head of til? army."
"The lack cf a leader ls felt in all
professions," continued Doctor nara
da, "but most of all In the literary
world. However, Jupanese literatura
is In tho midst of a transition-a per
iod of ch.inge. A nation is not born
in a day; much lesu can we expect
tin' flower of her national achieve
ment, the literary treasures of tho
country, to be grown in a night. We
need therefore not be pessimistic, but
mnift. look to tho future with great
hope and continue iu everlasting en
deavor."
In regard to the content of cur
rent literature President Harada said
it reflected with great sensitiveness
the thought of the Western world, all
of thc Western writers of eminence
including American being translated
and familiar to Japanese readers. On
the other hand, there had also been
a great revival of old literature, both
ChineHe and Japanese, due in part to
thc awakening of national conscious
ness and partly to tho reduction in
tho cost of printing.
Dr. Harada laid great emphasis on
his peace conclusion. All the impor
tant literature, he affirmed was di
rected toward peace and not calcu
lated to awaken the war spirit of the
people.

Senator Hoke Smith Views on Cot
ton >ot Shared by Growers, Says
(New York Dispatch.)
Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia
doesn't represent the real ! ent?nent
of the sol?a i when ho tfiea to em
barrass the subjugation o' other
considerations to a demand that
langland ?hall let Germany get Am
erican cotton in the opinion of W. P.
H ol Inn \v, chairman of Uie Mississippi
Hank commission and a leading fi
nancier of the Yazoo Delta, who has
arrivced at the Hotel H Ht more. .
"The people of tile south, cotton
growers and ali, want first of ail to
stand by the president," said Mr.
Holland. "If it ls necessary for the
growers to hold their cotton, they
will be able to hold halt of their
crop, anyhow, until such time aa
they can sel! lt to advantage.
"As a matter of fact, there is a
big demand for staple cotton In ti Is
country, and it looks as If lt Will
bring more than $1C a bale in excess
of what waa expected when lt was
first -planted. For the next 60 days
it- will take what money hankers In
our section have to aid in moving
cotton. While wo shall not he able
to take any of the allies' credit for
the present, I do not . see why it
would not be possible Inter on.
"Mississippi has. just blossomed out
as a wheat raising state. We v.ave
been experimenting this year, and
our first crop, recently harvested, has
proved very profitable. The averago
yield has been about 30 bushels to
the acre. Mind you, no special land
in tho Zazoo valley was planted in
wheat-just the average kind. In
some places the yield amounted to
as much as 42 fcud'.tels to the acre;
In some cases lt was as lot? as 25.
Still, the average yield netted about
$20 to the acre, and, mind you, that
despite the fact that few farmers
were prepared to thresh, and had to
wait untlll a threshing machine got
to them on Its rounds, so that there
was necessarily more or less waste
owing? to the dolay. The result ot
our wheat experiment ls that more
of our farmers wilt raise wheat next
year, and many ot them are now
buying their own threshing machines.
The nest years ia cotton mean only
from $25 to $35 an acre for the far
mer, and ?JO a Morago profit ls only
$15. So ?nany hare come to the .con
clusion that wheat ls a moro profit
able crop."

Gasoline for Dry Cleaning.
(From The Wall Street Journal.)
In estimating consumption of gas
oline statisticians usually figure oon
sumpiloii by motor owner* as the
principal demand on refiners and
bump other consumption as not of
great Importance.
However, President Brace of the
National association of Dyers and
Cleaners t recently called attention to
?he great amount of gasolina used by
cleaning establishments. He says
that the annual consumption of gaso
line fer this purpose in the United
States exceeds 70,000,000 gallons and
ls Increasing all the timo. desuera,
according to Mr. Brace, use gasoline,
aa laundries do water, and in figuring
on the consumption of gasoline In
this country he says the statisticians
must not forget the ?Teat demands
made on the ?refiners by the cleaners.

BY S. M. T.
Sauce* and lice?steak.
You have all heard the ?tory of
the Frenchman trawling in Great
Britain who lamented "thirty-seven
rcligians have I found in langland,
and but one gravy." Many house
keepera, lt ls sad to relate, have bat
?no idea of gravy, a nauseous mass of
grease and tinbrowned flour, taste
less, unpalatable and unsightly. I
have carefully , selected from differ
ent sources, some gravies and eau
ces, thst all housekeepers ff ?mid
know bow to make. 'From Marion
Harland, known throughout thc
land as a great and procticle. cook,
ls this recipe for.
Brown ?.'ravy.
A tablespoonful of dripping from
roast beef to which add a beeping
spoonful of brown flour, never oise
plain white flour. To brown flour
put several spoonfuls in a shallow
tin, set in oven for a few minutes,
stirring from time to time, so it may
only brown and not scorch. Set the
baking pan with li? fat and the flour
on top ot the range, and stir them un
til the sauce is thick and smooth,
pint of boiling water, and mix this
with to bubbling paste, alining un
til te sauce is thick and smooth.
Season with salt, pepper, onion
juice, or chill sauce, or Worcester
shire or good, catsup. Always bear
in mind that there must bo no guess
working making sauces. The propor
tions are In va ria hie, one table ; poon
each of butter, oil, or dripping, and .
flour ic half a pint of fluid.
Sance Tnrtarf.
"Add to a cup of mayonnaise, two
table spoonfuls each bf the follow
ing: Fine chopped capuss, olives, cu
cumber pickles, and parsley."
This ls delicious wl'j'v beefsteak, or
served with a roast o any kind of
meat.
"Table Talk" gives a wonderful Bel
gian sauce tor oulets or chops, that
ls well worth preserving by any house
wife who takes pric?o In having fcood
things on her (able.
Belgian Sn nee.
"A few colona minced with a clove
of golic or fried in some butter, and'
one tablespoonful of flour is stirred
m to cook until it is brown. Then
a little water is added, the Juice ot
a lemon, salt, pepper, and a soupspoon
of nnutmeg. W len it has "boiled well,
remove from, tile fire, and whisk in
the yolks of two eggs, and allow to
become very""hot tga?h."1 'four "over
hot chops or cutlets, and servo at
once." I have spoken before of how
little regard ls given to good cook
ing, how much seed material is ruin
ed by haste and no flavoring. There
is an art in cooking, it may not be
one of the fine'arts, but lt ls certain
ly one to learn', abd be thankful for.
Take tho cooking'' of that much
abused piece of meat, the beefsteak,
not once in a hundred times is it
properly cooked, H is either fried in
floods of grease/tthtil it is of the con
sistency and tams o' a piece of rub
ber, or it ia backed Lo shreds, and
served with an uncanny looking
something, that is politely called
sauce. Try lt 'ibis way but once,
and you will never go back to the old
way. Got a T bone steak, an inct'i or
moro thick, wash carefully, while
your pan ls beating, dredge with
salt and pepper, put in pan with
large spoonful of butter, and some
sliced onions, walch can be omitted
If it is disliked, brown on one side,
turn quickly, and brown on thc oth
er, it's rich, full flavored, juicy, and
good.
What Shall We Wear.
It is a wise woman wr.io knows her
own mind in regarda to fashions, so
bewildering, and diversified are the
styles, and so contradictory aro the
authorities on tbs subject. One says
straight lines, another says panniers,
one speaks of a bustle, tho other
hints of hoops. A woman who yearnf,
to bo strictly atp to the minute, and
the latest word in clothes,. must feel
ber brain wldrliua' "tike tho unhappy
squirrel in the running cage. I
know of no better advice than that ot
Polonius to his son.
"Costly thy Hiablt as thy purse can
buy.
But not expressed,in fancy; rich, not
gundy."
Take the beat style, the quietest,
the most elegant, adopt it to your
purse, and lew tho rest alone. A
beautiful trimming now in vogue is
bead embroidery , in bands of Pom
pean red, gold, hine, and black, any
?lever girl caa, copy it,, the Greek
key, and the block pattern -would work
well in beads, it ia most fascinating
work, and the bead's come in exqui
site colors. A hand beaded belt, wl?i
sash ends tying In front, would give
a touch of distinction, to tho plain
est gown, for Instance, o belt, and a
bit ot the same kind of trimming on
a frock of crows wing blue, just a
taint on neck and ?leaves, and the
transformation fro ma plain dress, to
the smnrtr st af gowns in complete.
The ' Poggy Owen" * dr*xs is very
fetching for school giris. It tr, a
one piece model, box pluited back
and front, with belt ot same material,
bone huttons, ?ix in a group, fastens
a JO box plaits, a whlto collar, and
small plaid silk bow finishes thia
mont charming ??d sensible costume.
The word sensible remind* me ot a
most delightful beadier gown I have
Jost-seen, generally such gownu are
flimsy and ehiiiy, said right here the
word sensible comes in. this robe ts
charmingly so, ttl? ot English cor
duroy velvet, tn rose or blue, lined
throughout with China silk, it has a
large rolling collar and raglan
sleeves, lt is not only exceptionally
comfortable but extremely becoming.

FRENCH TRADE
IS IMPROVING
French Commercial Travelers As
sociation Finds Conditions
Generally Improving.
Paris, Aug. 3.-Eugene Bolt, presi
dent of the French Commercial Trav
elers' association, says the condition
of members of the association, at
times almost desperate since the war
began, is rapidly improving, which
moans, he adda, that business in gen
eral is on the up grade. A curious
fact of this revival ot trade is that
the biggest orders come from the re
gions immediately behind tho front, j
Half of the 00,000 members of the j
Commercial Travelers' association
were mobilized; of the remaining half
a great many are Btill out of employ
ment on account of temporary or per
manent discontinuance of business by
their employers, and lt is now pro
posed to send them abroad to develop
foreign trade. This is somwhat new
for French commercial travelers, who
in tile past have been rarely seen in
foreign markets. The object in send
ing them out now is to let them get
acquainted with the ways of mer
chants in other countries and show
what France is, or will bo able to
supply. I

HOW THE WORLD EMPTIES
AND FILLS
Twenty-one years ago Coxey's Army marched
to Washington. All the papers-were flit! of it.
Mention Coxey to anybody over thirty-five years
old and see the understanding in his face. Know
Coxey and his blooming army ? Well, I should say
so! Now try Coxey on men and women in the
twenties. Just try it. It will open your eyes.
Coxey ? Who the blazes is Coxey ? Looks of con
fusion and ignorance. ^ :y L > i
Coxey, you see, quit advertising. . That is, the
Coxey publicity ceased. And the World has filled
up with people who never heard of him. Millions
and millions of them.
That is the way with some advertisers. They
speak up a few times and then go back to their fac
Itories. There, by George, we've told 'em! And
j then old Father Time begins to work. And the un
dertaker. And the parson armed with a marriage
license. And the baby carriage. And rheumat
ism. And, first you know, the world is peopled
with new bosses, new buyers and new housekeep
ers who never heard of you. Incredible! What!
-never heard of me ? No, never heard of you !
Sorry to disappoint you.
Man is provided with a great big ego. If he
didn't have it he couldn't stand it to live. Without
an ego he would probably take one look at the
moon and go jump in the lake. Now the best thing
that an ego does is to give you a fine feeling of per
manence. Of course you aren't permanent, and
your better sense tells you so. But Mr. Ego keeps
trying to make you think you are. What he aims
to do is to make you feel comfortable. Nice thing
to have around-an ego. You need him in your
business. But don't believe everything he tells
you. He is the most agreeable and ever-present
liar on your premises.
