SMALL PIPES
And Mild Tobacco Satisfy the Desires
 of Japanese Smokers.

Washington Star: You may have noticed that the Japanese who visit America are very moderate smokers,
 said a prominent Japanese now travel ing in the United States. Those of my countrymen who indulge in the weed mostly smoke cigarettes or preferably the smallest pipes filled with the mild est tobacco obtainable. Of course, there are Japanese who, like some Americans, have such 8 craving for to- bacco that nothing less than the strongest cigar or the largest pipe will satisfy them. But such smokers are exceptionally few among the Japanese. As rule, my countrymen. while at home and abroad, are satisfied with short smokes, such as cigarette CT a tiny pipe affords The Japanese are moderate smokers, not so much be- cause they are small people, but for the reason that up to within recent years but very little tooacco came into Japan and the tariff on It was very high. Being poor but frugal race. the masses purchased only ipited quantities of the weed, which, as mat ter of economy, they have for genera tions been taught to smoke in only the tiniest of pipes. These pipes, the most popular of which hold about as much tobacco as would fill an ordinary thim- bic, are the survival Of the days when money was scarce, tobacco dear and the tariff high. Tn another generation or two. when Japan shall have taken her place among the wealthy nations of the world, my countrymen will no doubt smoke large quantities Of tobac- co, and then the small pipes will be abandoned for big ones, such as Eng lishmen and Americans now smoke

Most of the smaller cities and larger villages have also done away with private en- terprise in this direction. Municipal ownership in this particular has made greater advance in Massachusetts than in any other state.

''The relocation Of San Pedro San
Pablo was but the beginning of the Chace
millions, for in the past twenty-five years
he has located several properties which
have rivaled the old Spanish find. Among
these may be mentioned the Discobradora
and San Augustin mines in the interior of
the Province of Antofagasta. both of
which have yielded millions. His latest
enterprise is a bunch OF claims in what is
known as the Chuquicumata. wonderful

mountains of Antofagasta. These claims
promise to be the richest of the Chace
properties when their extent is considered,
as they number 20 claims in all.
With all his good fortune, Chile's silver
king has not been allowed to accumulate
his millions in peace. First came the
change in Government, when the Province
of Tarapaca passed from the hands of
Peru into those of Chile at the settlement
of the devastating war between these two
Republics. This meant an overhauling of
titles and consequent disputes. One of
these centered on Chace's properties, with
the result that he has during the last II
years spent more time in the courts OF
Chile than he has at mining, and after n
long, tedious legal battle has at last wiped
out any possible question against his own
ership. Meanwhile his great properties
have been producing wealth, and in spite
of the fact that a Chilean lawsuit is even
more expensive than a struggle of the
same kind in the United States, he has

been bribed W it'll $4,000 marks for his
