Lush dreams to millions of Chinese and a headache to the League of Nations was contained in an announcement last week that the Japanese-Manchukuo Government was doing everything in its power to increase the cultivation of opium in Jehol. The old Chinese tax of ten yuan ($2) a mow (1/6; acre) on poppy fields will be reduced one-half by Japan...
...tall (6 ft. 7 in.) that he uses no podium but even without one he has to bend like a melon rind to get level with his men. When he spreads his arms an entire orchestra seems to fall under the shadow of his wings.

Rockefeller as to the merits of his distribution of "God's Gold"; the Art spread...
...imperative. Without beer, it is obvious that the tutorial system can never come to any real fruition. Dining hall conferences might take on a rich new aspect of reciprocal frankness and loquacity were the reign of iced cocoa to be challenged. For the tutorial system was transplanted from its lush native environment into an unfamiliar desert where it has been cruelly desiccated and may soon be destroyed...
