In the three quarters of a century since Commodore Terry caused Japan to open her doors to the outside- world this country has been adopting the knowledge and methods of the west Just Jin rapidly as possible. Skyscrapers have replaced paper-sided, thatehed-roofed houses. motor trucks and steam trains have replaced men and oxcarts to a great extent; Western clothes have replaced the kimono, but the Japanese have guarded their civilization and customs against possible death successfully until the present. Now there has appeared in Tokio an organization whose purpose is to foster love-making and marriage, according to the Western ideal, and a great outburst of protest fills the vernacular papers every day. Tho Four I.euf. club proposes In ab. dish the ancient custom of young people being married by their parents through the negotiations cf a co-bet ween; always when they are not well acquainted with one another and very often when neither has seen the other. This system would be changed to permit a young Japane.se to take a lady friend to the theater, to a dance or any of the t places common in western courtship, but considered a vulgar and unpardonable sin in Japan. The Four Leaf club has been organized by a group of modernthinking young men. many of whom have been in America or Furope, and who now rebel at the idea ot letting their parents select a bride for them. Many aro said to be flock in? to the organization, paying a meagre sum to be enrolled and to cover the current expenses. The club proposes to function in attempting to effect the transition by a method which makes it really a cooperative love market conducted similarly to the matrimonial correspondence bureaus of the United Spates. Fach month a club paper will be published, and in it will appear a 2-word description of the memihers. both male and female, a numir.stead of the her bein? assigned names appearing. Then, amnle. a lad v. No. 2.1. may for exread the 1 description of No. 1th a man or he ! that of her- Whichever of the two! thinks "that is love and mrry' the person ' will write.

I"irt. the company would be asfiurvd of th.o rfsular perpentum of tven percent; it would al?o demand a 1" or 20 percent payment hy the o ti t ii e a m o u r.t advanced by !h company. This initial .mall payment would go tack to be reloaned as would the rentals as thoy become due. Such a course would provide earnings of better than 12 percent. In short practically similar to th Morris plan. So far as safety is concerned, the company holds the contract of purchase and would continue to do so until, the eventual purchaser of the property pays in full the loan advanced to him. The lease on the houe permit.- the renter-ovvner to the advantages of holding his own home, but missing his payments would leave him liable to ejection, the same as any other renter. He could not be dI?!odjred at the will of hi.s landlord or his rent raised at the option of the latter, however. I Example I'umlshed As an example the principle of the plan hs as follows: A home valued at $4.000 would require a $ 400 down payment. This he company provides after first Investigating the desirability of the loan. They would seek a payment of at least $75 or $100 down, to secure good faith. Regular payments of purchase, based on the one percent a month plan, would make his regular payments $40 a month. To this ix added, say 20 percent, or ?4S. which would leave $12 monthly to bo applied on the loan the subsidy conpany would make. At this rate, within 30 months the prospective owner would have paid off his initial down payment of $400 and a fair proportion of the balance yet due. At this time he would be assigned the option of purchase contract and his relationship with the company would cease. That hundreds of people desirous of owning their own homes avail themselves of this opportunity Is taken for granted. The bureau has already been visited by scores who would seek some such way of thwarting the "rent hogs." Put their limitations prevent a large down payment toward a purchase of a home. Rent alone, they say. takes between 25 and 40 percent of their wages. Then comes the grocer, the butcher, the Ice man and milk man. They break even, they admit, but a few hundred dollars In the bank with which to purchase a home ha.s not been to their good fortune. had been taken away before Winnick returned to the scene.

CHARGE FEUDALISM AND BUREAUCRACY GRIP WHITE HOUSE
Federation of Labor Flays Harding for Stand Against Strike Right. CINCINNATI. O.. June 25 (By A. P.) Industrial feudalism supported by political bureaucracy seems to have made Its way into the white house, declares the report Sunday of the special policy committee of the American Federation of Lahor in netting forth organized labor's stand against the Kansas Industrial court and other proposals for compulsory submission cf labor disputes to state tribunals. Pres't Harding's declaration to eongress lait December suggesting regulation of labor unions prompted the committee's criticism. "It would seem," declares the committee, "that propaganda for industrial feudalism supported by political bureaucracy has found Its way Into the white house. It Is most regrettable to note tho utternnces of the president of the United States wherein he disapproves of labor's reluctant, but necessary stand on the right to ctrlke against Industrial oppression. It may be well to recall In this connection a most appropriate utterance upon the game by another president, Abraham Lincoln, who said 'I am glad that a system of labor prevails under which laborers can strike when they want to.' " The report was made public Sunday as an aftermath of th federations 42nd convention which In adjourning Saturday, ordered 'that unfinished committee reports should be Included in the convention proceedings, Inasmuch as they were not subject to dispute. This action, It was announced, was tantamount to adoption for the convention directed the reports should be referred to the federation's executive council for action, if any were necessary. For the purpose of cleaning up these odda and ends, the council met here Sunday, received the reports, and adjourned with the announcement that further discussion of them would be had at the council's meeting in Washington in September. Discuss rolltics Politics, and shorter work day were among the subjects touched by the reports presented to the council Sunday in addition to that of the special policy committee. The special committee considered the Colorado Industrial commission law, the Kansas industrial Vj' compulsory Incorporation of trade unions, Pres't Harding's suggestion of regulation and th attempt of the Duetl-Mlller bill in New York. "Interwoven throughout all of these legislative enactments and legislative proposals," said the report, "is the insiduous attempt to extend the doctrln of conspiracy to the whole trade union movement and tbus to prevent the contructive. effective and efficient application of the principles of organization and co-operation by the wage earners. What ever elso may be said of the Kansas law, the fact remains that the wheels of Industry cannot be moved by anti-strike legislation anymore effectively than coal can be dug by Injunction." The committee declared In favor of the federation's continuance with renewed energy, its fight against the Kansas and Colorado laws, asserting that there could be no compro mise, for the Issuance was one that "could not be tolerated by free men." Criticize Congress Congress was subject to criticism hy a supplemental report of the legislative committee, which declared that its attitude against labor had "frequently been evidenced on remedial labor legislation " The legislative committee also attacked the United States bureau of eblclency, declaring that "since Its inception. It has not made a single worth while contribution to public service." The committee recommended that the executive? council In co-operation with the unions of government employes "endeavor to bring about a more satisfactory administration of the bureau and if It develops this course is impractical, then appropriate action be taken t abolish the bureau." The shorter work day committee also filed a supplemental report with the council, describing the union coal miners, the printers and th textile workers as the shock troops of organized labor In fighting for a shorter work day.

It is a genuine "epidemic." because even the police and. cf course, physicians and scientists realize that most crimes especially the ort that are being committed here every day now are of psychopathic o r i . n . Nerve shot to pieces by war or economic pressure or modern "speed" are -he chief cause of the horror-crime. The horror-crime is a crime In which the person who commits it wanorüy destroys life or property for.;.
the eeming purpose of destroying it and attempts to do a Job at once thorough and picturesque. It has been prevalent all over the world fclnce the war, and France has had its full share eif it. To most uninformed persons it will come as a shock to learn that Paris is a crime center. Paris to many Americans implies "Apaches" and "garroters and Arsene Lupin. On the contrary, Paris, before the war. waa a city of comparative safety and gocd conduct- Immoral In Fpots, but criminal no more than elsewhere. Now, in spite of Its efficient police farce, it is a constant source of horror-crime stories, and the country surrounding is no less prolific of then. Pope" Causes Crime. Importation of cocaine from Germany, impossible absolutely to prevent, is held to be one caue of the crime epidemic. Dope, as Is well known, may cause horror-crimes as easily a3 loss of mental control. Many stories of cocaine smuggling are doubtless mere anti-German propaganda, but there must be a basis of truth In the point made by French writens that since cocaine is known to be manufactured in Darmstadt end elsewhere on the Rhine the amount of dope that at present Is consumed in France must come from somewhere and hence probably comes, in hatbands, cane-han-dies, or false-bottomed satchels, across the border from Germany. Knowledge of the effect of nervous disease and cf the dope habit on the horror-crime has led to the proposal to build a criminal hospital in Paris to take care of what used to be called the "criminally insane" and are now more accurately known as the "crimirally psychopathic." Meanwhile, day after day French newspapers carry one horror-crime story after another. These stories are not "played" the way American dailies play crime stories. Most ot them begin at the beginning of the story and tell through to the end, with the crime in the last paragraph. Week's Crime Ite-oorel.
