PRAISES WOMEN OF NIPPON California Newspaper Speaks in Highest Terms of Those Who Reside in That State. Japan is a wonderful nation in a very great many ways, it lias accomplished marvels, it has leaped forward at almost a single bound into a front place among the world powers, but we are convinced that the greatest thing about Japan is its women. All women are, of course, charming, but our observation is that the women of Japan are especially and particularly so. We see much of them here tn California, and we have an opportunity to judge. To begin with, the majority of them are very pretty, and all of them have a certain grace that can come only from centuries of gentleness and good breeding. They have soft woices. There is an irresistible appeal in their manners. It is often commented that the men of Japan have adapted themselves to Western ways with an Incredible ease. But they have not equaled their women in the performance of this difficult feat for an Oriental race to adapt itself to Occidental customs and habits. In many social functions as well as in public, numerous Japanese women have been seen here in California. • The grace of their bearing and the charm of their manners have deeply Impressed all with whom they have । come in contact. Japan Is a nation that had no music, yet the most popular singer on the operatic stage today Is a Japanese woman. And this is only an instance of their conquests. We do not think there is any reason to worry about what Japan will or will not do in the world. Any nation that can produce such women as that nation produces will not only succeed, but will endure. —Los Angeles Times. SHOULD END ALL ARGUMENT Ohio Newspaper Produces Proof That General Sherman in Speech Declared War Was "Hell " In answer to inquiries as to where Gen. William T. Sherman made his famous speech in which he defined war, and to refute intimations that he never itaid it at all, the Columbus (O.) Dispatch asserts that General Sherman said it In Cotuinbqs on August 12. 1880, and in support of the assertion produces from its files the copy of a abort address he made there at that time, in which the now famous expression defining war was made. The occasion was a reunion of the Civil war soldiers of Ohio. President Hayes was a guest of honor and most of the living generals of the Civil war were present. The addresses were made In the open at Franklin park. It was raining hard when General Sherman’s turn came to speak, but he stood out uncovered ami delivered his short sjieech. As published, it contained just 308 words. Alluding to the fact that old soldiers did not mind the rain, he continued : “You all know that this is not soldlerhig. There is many a boy here today who thinks war is all glory, but, boys. It is all hell. You can bear that warning to generations yet to come. I look upon It with horror, but. if it has to come, I am here.” This last clause brought great appt a use and when it subsided the general proeeed.-d on another line of 1 thought A Call for Heroes.

I ASK CHANGES IN 1 WAR RISK ACT

Important Amendments in Bill Are Asked of National Lawmakers. REVISE SCHEDULE UPWARD Increased Compensation for Disabled Ex-Service Men Is Urged—Bureau Seeks to Give Fullest Possible Service to Those Affected. Washington.—" Our work In conduct- ; lug the affairs of the bureau must be ' | guided by the counsel of the soldiers, i sailors and marines themselves. Our i aim is to be of the fullest possible serv- , ' ice to those affected by the act.” 1 hus Colonel K. G. Cholmeley-Jones, i ; director of the bureau of war risk in- ' ■ surance, in the course of a talk to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed hospital, Washington, D. C., epitomized the motives behind the action of the bureau in requesting congress, through the treasury department, to enact several important amendments to the war risk insurance act. These may be di- i vided into two general classes—those I affecting the compensation features of I the act, and those concerning war risk insurance. A very important proposed amendment, and one which meets with widespread approval, is the upward revision of the schedule of compensation payable to disabled ex-service men. Under the present schedule a man totally disabled is entitled to S3O a month. If single. The amendment > raises this by SSO, making SBO pay- j able under these circumstances. If he j has a wife but no child living he gets . j $45; the amendment provides S9O. If . he has a wife and one child, he draws | i at present, $55; the amendment gives j him $95. Extend the Provisions. The law now provides that if a man ] loses both hands, both feet, or the sight of both eyes, or becomes helpless and permanently bedridden, he shall receive SIOO a month compensation, j Experience has shown that many men who have lost an arm and a leg, or one ■ limb and the sight of one eye. are Just as badly crippled as men who have lost both feet or both hands, and so j | the bureau has recommended that In addition to the Injuries at present en- | : titling a man to compensation at the i , rate of SIOO a month, the following shall be included: The loss of one foot i and one hand; the loss of one foot and the sight of one eye. These are deem- j ed “total and permanent disability” by the express wording of the amendment. There is also a provision that for a “double total permanent disability.” meaning cases in which men are maimed so seriously that their Injuries Include two of these classifications, the compensation shall be S2OO a month. The bureau has found a very widespread sentiment among ex-service men In favor of having their policies made payable In a lump sum, or In installments covering a short period of time, at their option. To meet this demand Director Cholmeley-Jones has urgently recommended a modification of the war risk insurance act to permit 1 1 making provision in the contract for converted insurance for optional settlements on the part of the insured, making such insurance payable either in one sum or in installments for thir- , ty-six months or more. If the insured has not exercised his right of election, under the proposed : amendment the beneficiary may elect to receive ti.e insurance in monthly j

HITS COST OF CLOTHING Old Ones Have Become a Mark of Dis tinction in South Dakota Town. Canton, S. D.—Old clothes have become a mark of distinction, patches in conspicuous places are badges of honor, “darn” has become a byword and "threadbare.” “ragged” and “in tatters” are adject Ices applied to the adornments of man and womankind of i 'kinton with commensurate inflections

installments covering a period of not i less than three years. Include Other Relatives. Another very important item is the proposed enlargement of the permitted class of insurance beneficiaries (spouse, । child, grandchild, parent, brother or | sister) to include, in addition to those 1 enumerated, uncles, aunts, nephews, i nieces, brothers-in-law and sisteiJ-In-law. All of the amendments described above, together with several other pro- । posed measures of less general interi est, but of much importance, are incor- | porated in the so-called “Sweet bill,” । introduced by Congressman Sweet of lowa in the house of representatives on August 26, 1919. The whole trend of the bureau’s recoihmendations manifest its desire ! to be of the greatest possible service ' to those for whom it v as created —the men who served our country in the Great War. Not only in recommending the adoption of amendatory legislation, but In every other possible way, the bureau is doing its best to expedite its service, and to carry out the letter and spirit of the act in behalf of the I men for whom it was prepared. In the matter of the settlement of ini surance claims the bureau is practically current. Os over 123,000 claims, all I but 9,000 have been settled, and regular payments are being made. The 9,000 unsettled cases consist of those in which the beneficiaries live In foreign countries or for some other reason cannot be reached. A diligent effort is being made to get in touch with this comparatively small residue. Insurance Paid Promptly. j A great many people do not realizf that there Is a wide difference between the Insurance feature of the act and the provision for compensation. An j Insurance claim is paid immediately tc the beneficiary ; but in the case of a i claim for compensation a great many I features must, under the law, be conI sidered, such as the members of the । family within the permitted class, the I extent of their dependency, and the ! extent of the soldier's disability. This accounts for the fact that claims for i compensation have not been settled as ‘ promptly as insurance^, claims. The i compensation and claims division of . the bureau is bending every effort to | ; determine these case's as quickly as ; , thorough and intelligent handling will : permit. A large staff of examiners is working night and day In making comI pensation awards. The medical division has just com- ' pleted a very trying and difficult task । —the preparation of a schedule of disI ability ratings for different injuries and combinations of injuries, based on SIOO per month as compensation for total disability. If the Sweet bill (11. R. j 8778) becomes iaw, all compensation i for disability will be based upon SIOO per month as a maximum instead of ; upon S3O as at present. This schedule I is necessarily very complicated, being designed to cover all probable combina ■ tions and degrees of injuries, and must be revised from time to time in accordance with the bureau's experience in order that full Justice may be done in all cases. “Unquestionably, the government insurance contracts will be constantly improved, as experience indicates the j need for improvements, and it is decidedly to the advantage of all of us to hold the maximum amount of this government insurance,” adds the di- i । rector. , Reinstatement of Insurance. “A recent treasury decision has authorized the reinstatement of government insurance within 18 months after discharge by the payment of only two

HE cuy RED TAPE UM ******* ^ ' :jy Col. Edwlr^adwln, now In command of one of the engineer regiments in Erance, disr^arded war department red tape, formalities and regulations, to get his troops over to France fully equipped for work. The record made by Colonel Jadwin in getting his men speedily ready for service and the efficiency of his work has already been the subject of widespread comment In army circles, it develops now that the reason for his success was primarily due to the f'ict that he Ignored ren tape Incumbrances which are required legally by the present system. It will be for Secretary Baker to decide whether Col. .Jadwin is to escape the remonstrance that attaches to his course or whether he will be commended for his initiative and his success. 1 months premiums on the amount of insurance to be reinstated, one covering । the month of grace during which the . policy was ln[ force, and one for the month in whiA reinstatement is made. This is a very generous provision, and will make it gmslble for all ex-service men to retain their government insurance after they have become adjusted again In their normal civil life. Indeed, I look for a v^ry heavy reinstatement and conversion as soon as the Sweet bill passes thfj senate and becomes an act and It is made known to all those who are affected. ‘The bureau appreciates tremendously the co-operation it has had from ' the Insurance officials and the men of | the insurance profession, and it is to be regretted that there are some few who disregard *dtheir moral obligation • te m "it.f men by encouraging the men to drop their government insuranc ‘ and take out Insurance in private cot upanies. It is my personal opinion that all ex-service men in such instai tees should combine In their dlsappro val of such action, and should in son e forceful way express their utter disgust for those who are found guilty o [ such practices. Indeed, in the years tn come, I feel confident that In such cases where ex-service men have beer advised in such way as ' to allow them to lose their government insurance, tha t there will be at least one man in t ie world whom the exservice men vrlll utterly despise, and distrust, and that will be the unscrupulous agent w ho in a time of test was found wanting.” BRITISH BIRTH RATE GROWS More Boys Are Born in Times of Hard--1 ships, Official Figures Show. । London. —More babies were born In England during August than in any previous month since the beginning of the war. Official returns show the number Io be 6.390. equivalent to an annual rate of IS per 1,000, and 'Ol more babies than in the same month of 1918. "I believe that during and after wars more boy babies are born than girls,” ■said Dr. Mary Scharlieb, a specialist, discussing the report. "I think official figures will prove that more boys are । born during periods of stress, hardship and food shortages and more girls during periods of wealth, ease and luxury.” - “A baby t«>se days is a very expensive additpn to the average Brit tsh family,” ^d another doctor. “The cost of everylhing. from blankets to perambulatorsl has practically doubled. Milk is u. shilling a quart and nurses three gulnVrr4 a week. The infant’s extensive warn robe is also a costly affair these da|s. while his cot costs twice as mm h as before the war. Only millionaires cakt afford twins, mm h as we need them to repair the waste of war.” Strange Fish. Venice, Cal.—A strange fish, approximately nine feet in length and consisting mostly of mouth, head and tail, is arousing much interest here. The freak monster was found on the beach by Frank Benedict, a city official. In the mouth of the fish were four rows of teeth. The eyes are as large as saucers. The creature resembles a gigantic tadpole. Investigating New Prunes.

I WHERE ESKIMO IS SUPERIOR I Home Life Declared by Stefansson to j Be Practically Ideal—Hospitable in the Extreme. Vilhjalmur Stefansson. in writing of his 13 months’ stay among the Eskimos, tells of their great kindness to a guest who could not pay for his , keep, says Harper's, a stranger whose j purpose among them they did not I know, thus: "In an Eskimo home I have never heard an unpleasant word between a । man and his wife, never seen a child | I punished nor an old person treated in- \ । considerately. The household affairs i I are carried on in an orderly way and | the good behavior of the children is ; i remarked by practically every traveler. “In many things we are the superl- ! j ors of the Eskimo and in a few we are ' i his inferiors. The moral value of some ; of his superiority is small. He can make better garments against cold than our tailors and furriers; he can thrive in barren wastes where a New Englander would starve. “But of some of his superiority the moral value is great. He has developed individual quality further than we, he is less selfish, more helpful to his fellows, kinder to his wife, gentler to his child, more reticent about the faults of his neighbor than any but i the rarest and best of our race. “When I tried to express thanks for ; their kindness in my fragmentary Es- | । kimo, they were more surprised than j pleased. “ ‘Do, then, in the white man’s land, I I some starve and shiver while others j eat much and are warmly clad?’ “To that question I said ‘No,’ al- j j though I knew I was lying.

The first number of the Gazette de France, the oldest newspaper in | France, was published 283 years ago, j May 30, 1631, under the editorial dl- ’ rection of Doctor Renaudot. This | most powerful of the early journalists • of France was born In 1584 and. after graduating in medicine, established I himself in Paris about 1612. Richelieu and Pierre d’Hoziner, the genealogist, I are said to have inspired Renaudot in ' establishing the Gazette, which was ■ published weekly and consisted of two small sheets, the first bearing the title | of Gazette and the second Nouvelles | Ordinatres de Divers Endroits. Doci tor Renaudot established the prece- | dent, long followed in European jour- | nalism and by no means extinct, of j presenting foreign news first and rele- • gating domestic and local news to the I last page. Soon after the establishment of the Gazette Doctor Renaudot I was granted an exclusive monopoly of printing and selling newspapers in France. When the founder died In i 1653 the Gazette passed to his sons. . The title of Gazette de France was ' first used in the middle of the eighteenth century. It has been published under that title ever since, with the exception of a brief period during the j revolution of IS4B, when the name was ' temporarily changed to Le People Francais. Improved Rivet Cutter. A pneumatic rivet cutter for use in structural steel work and in repair • 1 shops consists of a long barrel, with < compressed air connection at one end ! j and a chisel at the other, the stem ■ of the chisel being held by a coiled spring, which draws it back after each stroke. A plunger travels freely in , the barrel or tube, and a small bypass pipe connects the ends of this tube. Two men are employed, the one at the rear operating the valve and the one at the front keeping the chisel against the rivet head. The force of | the blow can be regulated by the valve. Air pressure of 30 to 90 pounds may j be used, the higher pressure being the i more effective. A punch can be inserted in place of the chisel for backing out the rivets. In the larger size I the stroke is 40 inches, and the weight । of the machine complete is only 65 i pounds. A smaller size will cut rivets i up to three-eighths of an inch in diamj eter.
