JAPAN's AUGUST NAME
The Vast Majority of the Japanese
Have Never Heard of Japan.

The vast majority Of the japanese
have never heard of Japan, says Doug
las Sladen in his book Queer Things
About Japan" They call their country
Nihon, or Nippon, and even this name
has only been in use for thirteen or
fourteen centuries. Before that, says
Mr.. Chamberlain, 1T was called Yama-
to, which is properly the name of one
of the provinces. Since the Japanese
have traced a resemblance between
the position of their islands off Asia,
and the British islands off Europe,
and have determined on founding an
empire like the British empire, they
have called their country Dali Nippin
Great Japan, as Englishmen call
theirs Great Britain. Probably
Marco Polo is responsible for
the Japanese islands never be-
ing called by their own name
in foreign countries. He heard the
Chinese talking about country which,
being still further east than China,
they called origin,

that the sun comes from, and rounded
the name into Zipangu- which became
Cipango-at least that is Mr.. Cham
berlain's account of it; and one can

affirmative and one for the negative.
Preceding the debate the girls OF
the sophomore and freshmen classes
held a spelling match, the sophomores
being victorious. Miss Grace STEAD

Judge Arthur z. Giddings of the

was between the seventh and eighth
congressional districts, and the ques-
ton was: Resolved, That American
Cities and Villages should Own and
Operate Their Public Utilities"
The Benson high school team COM
prised Leon Smith, Hugh McCune and
Wylie Stone. Anoka was represented
by John Stewart, William Tuthill, and
John Coleman. -
Leon Smith presented several tables
showing the ratio Of public to private
utilities, the debaters taking up only
electric lights. waterworks, sewers,
gas, telephone and street car
franchises.
The cost of operating municipal
plants, as far as the taxpayer and con-
sumner were concerned, was declared to
be less.
John Stewart, on the negative, out
lined the growth Of the system or
franchises. He quoted from the press
of Sept. ~, 1908, showing the situa-
ton of municipal ownership in Glass
gov, where the pawnshops were
owned by the city. He commended the

William Tuthill for the negative
pointed to the depreciation in values

with the weight Of the arguments of

Brewer GoOdsell opened the debate
for the affirmative and was followed
by Ralph Richardson for the negative.
All Of the speakers produced favora-
without it's humorous side, and per-
| version of facts were alleged by both
sides. Statistics were quoted and
comparisons made until the audience
was lost in maze Of figures. Gerald

favorites, but Frank Tonne and John

skin is very dry do not use hot water

EVENING FOOT DRESSING.

Stockings make a serious item in the
expense account, for while the all
black stockings is the correct style for
street wear, for house and evening
wear the stocking must exactly match
the gown. Silk is above all the right
material. and to wear with evening
gowns the more elaborate the embrOi-
d,y the better. Lace insertion, out
lined with rich embroidery, makes the
white and light colored stockings most
effective, and certainly it adds to the
finish of n handsome toilet if there are
shoes and stockings to match, says
the New York Telegram.
Even with black slippers for theatre
wear, stockings to match the gown are
thought smarter than the all black, so
it is necessary to nave stockings for
each and every costume, while the en-
broidered and lace trimmed stockings
in all black are to be had in an in
finite variety of design.
Low shoes and slippers to match the
gowns are also indispensable. But the
smartest slippers are quite simple in
design, the expense and variety of
design being in the buckles, rather
than in the embroidery on the slipper
itself. Kid and satin are the most
fashionable materials for slippers
patent leather for the low shoes.
