ALIENS IN JAPAN
How They will BE Affected by the
New Decree.

Over 1000 citizens OF the United
States, 1000 Englishmen and about
1000 Germans and French citizens will
be directly affected by the new Older
OF things in Japan, by which extra.
territoriality disappears and foreign
residents are made subject to the laws
and business regulations of that en-
pire. Fully 5000 Of the 10000 foreign
ers now residing in Japan will be thus
affected by this feature of the fifteen
new treaties which nave abandoned
consular courts and extra territoriality
and made the citizens Of the fifteen
countries in question subject to the
laws of Japan when residing In that
country.
1t is interesting to observe that the
disposition of the Japanese is apparent
~ to look almost exclusively to the
United States in educational matters,
as the total number of japanese stud
ents residing abroad, rs shown by the
census figures, was 2,465, and of this
number 2,17S were in the United
States. 1919 in Germany, AZ in Russia
and Russian colonies. 40 In England
and English colonies. 81 in China, IA
in Corea and 10 in France
The commercial relations between
Japan and the United States differ
materially from those of many other
countries. While our total exports
largely exceed our total imports. the
conditions are reversed In our COM
merce with Japan, as our imports from
that country greatly exceed our ex-
ports to IT, This is due to the fact that
Japan is the producer OF certain ar
ticlcs absolutely required in the United
States, and which cannot, or at present
are not produced In this country. OF
raw silk for our manufacturers our
imports from Japan In the year just
ended amounted in round numbers to
S15, 600, or nearly rs much ms our
total exports to that country, while
practically one-half Of our tea import
ed was also from Japan. the total from
that country during the year being
over Sl.000,000 or rice the imports
range in the vicinity Of half-milllon
dollars: fax, hemp and lutte for manu-
featuring in round terms a half-milliOn
dollars. while manufacturers Of silk
from Japan range between S2,000.000
and $3,0O0,000 annually Japanese Of

Banking for School Children

Economic education is claiming each
year the more careful attention OF
learned and philanthropic people.
School banking, the simplest way OF
intoxicating self-denial and thrift, has
full approval wherever instituted, and
as the news goes abroad, its sphere is
broadening. Statistics of the savings
in some of the public schools of the
United States have just been printed,
says the Philadelphia Inquirer, by Mr..
]. H. Thirty, who founded the system.
They show that the school children's
savings deposited In savings institu-
tons through this system have
amounted to S530.3t9 5S. These saw
ings are in 349 schools. and the deposit
tors number Al 1863 There are half as
many more schools using this system,
of which we have no statistical report,
and many others using the Penny
Provident and stamp plan Of saving.
All systems and means of the sys-
tematic saving of money for the self
responsible development of the child
and to apply to uses apart from friv-
olous waste are OF value, as 1t is the
principle involved rather than specific
method we aim to instill. the independ-
ence, individuality and equality OF
means that will make thrift general.
But the simple system OF school saw
ings, where We credit the pennies d.
rect, and not stamps, is more educative
and helpful, because it gives our boys
and our girls regular banking business
habits, and they carry their accounts
right over into manhood and woman
hood If every bOy and girl who has
graduated or come out of our public
schools for the past ten years had left
school with one or two hundred dollars
of a bank account to his or her credit,
as do our girls and boys to-day. where
they have school savings banks. we
would be much nearer the equality. the
sobriety and the single standard of mo-
rality for which we labor than we now
are. We need to understand how to
handle and appreciate money.

He Paid 81, 900 For a Kiss.

plot of an American sister of the
stage in offering a kiss at auction. and
bein gasked to assist at a charity ba-
Ear. announced that a caress from her
own rosy lips would be given to the
male willing to pay most for 1t. The
bidding was brisk and had advanced
to $50 when the sum of $4,000 was
offered. This put all other amorous
competitors out Of the race. and the
blushing actress turned to the pur-
chaser, the colonel of one Of the Brit
ish line regiments. who came forward,
but instead of slipping the sweetness
himself. presented his little five-year-
old grandson, explaining that he had
purchased the kiss as a birthday pres
emit for him. The actress took the
child in her arms and discharged the
debt with interest, and the charity, in
which the colonel was interested. was
the richer by $4,000 for the granddad's
within. 1t is said, though, that the gal
liant colonel did not go kissless after
all.

1t must be a commercial success, for
1t is asserted that the company's

When the current is turned on, the

about seven or eight hours, and then
the wood is dried slowly. which in
