NEW JAPANESE EMPEROR WILL ASCENDTHRONE Formal Rites Scheduled for Saturday in Kioto, Old Capital. Staff Correspondent, Scripps-Howard Newspapers WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.—'The formal enthronement of Japan’s first modern emperor takes place next Saturday, an event which will be celebrated not only in the land of the rising sun, but in Washington and every other capital of the world as well. For several days, beginning Nov. JO, Japan will be the scene of fetes and ceremonies which, for costume and ritual, hark back to an era some 300 years before Christ. Jimmu Tennu, or "Emperor of Divine Valor,” reigned in 660 B. C. He is said to have been fifth in line from the sun goddess herself, who, according to Japanese story, gave the island empire the first rulers from whom the present dynasty descended. So Hirlhito, “Emperor of the Era of Radiant Peace” and 124th of the line, Saturday officially mounts the throne of his ancestors with rites which are absolutely unique. Ceremonies Are Started In fact, the ceremonies already have begun. As far back as last January, the ancestral gods of Hirihito were notified solemnly of the coming enthronement. Actually, of course, Hirihito ascended the throne of Japan upon the death of his father Dec. 25, 1926, but custom calls for a long period of mourning and it is only now that the formal ascension takes place. In February, following the notification of the gods in January, two sacred rice fields were selected formally and crops planted. In September court officials pronounced the crop ready for harvest and the farmers, after bathing in the river to purify themselves, put on white robes of ancient design and gathered in the rice. This week the imperial shrine was moved from the modem capital of Tokio to the old capital of Toklo, and Saturday morning, Emperor Hirihito will bow before a replica of the sacred mirror which was one of the three treasures handed down by the sun goddess herself—the original of the mirror never is taken from the great shrine at Ise—and report to his ancestors his readiness to carry on. Mounts Throne Saturday Saturday afternoon Hirihito will mount the throne in the palace of Shishin-Den, in Kioto. Here he will have at his left and right hand the other two of the three sacred treasures—the sacred jewel, beads which legend says were made of star-dust, and the sacred sword, said to have Ibeen taken by one of the emperor’s demigod forbears from the tail of an eight-headed dragon. This does not end the ceremonies, however. They will go on for several days. GAS HALTS WORKERS Fire Department Rushes Masks to Repair Leak in Plant. A rush call to city fire department headquarters doesn’t necessarily. mean a fire. It might mean a gas attack. This was apparent today when ammonia fumes escaping from a tank in the Riverview Packing Company, 801 Kentucky avenue, necessitated an immediate supply of masks before the "gassed” employes could repair the break. A worn gasket connecting the ammonia tanks in the refrigeration employes able to enter the baseplant became cocked and released the fumes. Not until the firemen ment of the plant and stop the leak.

Good Citizens’ Victory, Not Mine, Says Ludlow

Veteran Newspaper Man Omy Democrat to Win in County. The only Democrat elected in Marion county in Tuesday’s election was Louis Ludlow, veteran Washington newspaper correspondent, who unseated Ralph E. Updike as Seventh district congressman. Ludlow issued this statement today: “I do not regard my election to congress as being in any sense a personal victory. Neither do I regard it as a partisan victory. On the contrary I interpret it as a victory for a long-suffering and outraged citizenship that had been worried and harassed and worn by misgovemment and the multiplied derelictions of faithless public servants until conditions had become utterly unendurable. “My election comes with the sweep of a revolution that brings the forces of righteousness from under the millstone and makes them once more vibrant and dominant in our community life. Those who supported me and made my election possible are the citizens who place pride in their city above everything else. By their action, so forcibly expressed, they have served notice to the world that Indianapolis has redeemed herself. In the most conspicuous and emphatic way they have repudiated the faithless element that has so long had Indianapolis and Indiana by the throat—the element that repeatedly and wantonly has violated the sanctity of public service. “I cannot emphasize too strongly that this is a citizens’ victory and not a personal victory. Through the united action of Democrats and Republicans Indianapolis is enabled again to lift her head proudly and to show to the world that she is

Bn Timet Special GREENCASTLE, Ind., Nov. 7. Military training is no longer compulsory for students at DePauw university here. President G. Bromley Oxnam, In anonuncing a change in policy for the Methodist university, pointed that the church’s general conferences in Kansas City, Mo., last May, fully disapproved military training by compulsion. He also cited the stand of the DePauw faculty in favor of making such training selective. Expressing personal opposition to compulsory training, Dr. Oxnam declared he was not a pacifist, but inclined to the belief that patriotism in these times must be identified more with efforts toward promotion of international understanding than with armed preparedness.

BLAZING YOUTH IS PERILED BY TUBERCULOSIS Jazz, Cifjarets, Booze and Dieting to Be Slender Branded Menaces. BY MAX STERN, Times Staff Correspondent FRESNO, Cal., Nov. 7.—T00 much jazz and night life, scanty attire, cigaret smoking, under nourishment to maintain the “boyish figure,” tight brassiers and other affectations of feminine flaming youth are being warned against by anti-tuber-culosis workers. Studies reveal that tuberculosis death rates have declined in every age group except that betwen 15 and 30, and that the death rate is higher among the very young women than among younger men of corresponding ages. Similarly, in the last ten years, heart disease cases have declined in every group up to 45 except among those between 15 and 24. “Casual laborers have a much more hazardous occupation than high school girls,” said Mrs. Edythe Tait Thompson, executive secretary of the California Anti-Tuberculosis Association, with offices here, “yet from the Atlantic to the Pacific we find in this neglected age group an alarming increase in tuberculosis. Why? “Several years ago our young women adopted the fashion of the slender figure. Curves ‘went out’ and angles ‘came in.’ Silly fads of fasting and under-eating, smoking cigarets and drinking bootleg liquor, scanty attire, poor posture, tight brassiers, over-exercise and undersleeping—these became the ideals of too many growing girls. “The results are that the high school and early college age has become the Dangerous Age among young women. The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company found it necessary to reject 8 per cent of the girls applying for work, on account of tuberculosis. The same story is being told in Baltimore, Wisconsin and the Northwest. "It is for this reason that tuberculosis workers are turning attention toward the ‘younger generation.' A big part of the proceeds of the annual Christmas Seal sales will be devoted to preventive and educational work among those of the ‘Dangerous Age.’” This work already has begun in California, where x-ray clinics are being opened for freshmen in the high schools. Young lads are also being watched to prevent strain from too much athletics.
