TOKIO, July 14. Tokio is to have a subway, the first In Japan, a charter for which has Just been granted. This Is part cf a big plan for Improvements In transportation facilities in Tokio and Osaka which will involve the expenditure of many
i millions of dollars. The decision of
the authorities to undertake these Improvements has followed bitter complaints of poor service. Owing: to th increasing- population the street cars of Tokio ar? so overcrowded that it is a common sight to see passengers hanging: dangerously from the platforms, while public taxicabs are insufficient to meet the demand. Tokio will spend 110,000.000 in street improvemer.t. A Blffger project is under way for Improving Osaka which Japanese often call the "Manchester of Japan" because it is the chief center of the country's cotton Industry. The proposed improvement of the streets alone will cost about $75.000,000. A
new harbor is beinff built which will cost about JSC, COO. CCD. Fifty per cent of Osaka's manufactured fTOducts are moved through the canals of the city and moro will be- dug. Fifty million dollars will be expended In constructing a moderr- sewage- eystem. Tokio and Osalci, like New York. London and Paris lack lodgings for the people. It li quit impossible to hire either a "foreign, tyle", cr Japanese home in Tokio. Hence the suburbs are constantly expanding. The city of Osaka covers an area o 14 square miles which is expected to be trebled whn the project of greater Osaka is carried out. The population of 2,00), 000 is increasing rapidly. In Tokio and Osaka, as in New York, house rents are goinjr up constantly and food 1: ever rising.

GIRL DISGUISES AS HARVEST HAND
Feminine Use of Pocket Mirror, However, Proves Her Undoing. INDEPENDENCE. Kan., July 15. Feminine use of a pocket mirror proved the undoing of "Glenn Rose" who for several weeks masqueraded successfully as a harvest hand. Glenn then admitted sho was a girl. In police court where she was fined $35 and her male companion
$25, she stated that ehe had been teaching school in Oklahoma and was 19 years old. The prospect of making big money in the harvest fields, sho asserted, prompted her to start on the escapade. She had shorn her locks and was attired in overalls. For some time she worked on a farm along with men harvest hands. "I noticed ehe wasn't able to do any very heavy work and had rather dainty features for a boy," said her employer after the disclosure had been made, "but never suspected that I had a lady harvest hand." Glenn's male companion paidhis fine and left her to "wait out" her fine in Jail.
