moving picture show. Automobile
rides are barred. If man does call
on a girl, her father and mother are
both in the room, and as the Japanese
girl has been taught to confine her
conversation to yes" and mo" no
great Roadway in courtship can be
made. Can you imagine Sally South

Call Made on the Family.
After the go-between has picked
out suitable girl for the young man.
the latter, accompanied by his father,
makes formal call on the family of
the young woman. The Japanese girl
will not be present during most Of
this call, although she will enter the
room and present cup Of tea to the
young man. She will stay IN the
room perhaps one or two minutes.
and during that time he must make
up his mind whether he likes her well
enough to marry her, and the Jap
anese girl must make UP her mind.
too, although what she thinks about It
isn't very important. But making up
his mind isn't very difficult for the
Japanese young man, because Jap
anese girls look so much alike. There
are no fluffy blondes. nor tall, auburn
haired beauties. Almost all Japanese
girls are small and slender, have
small hands and feet. olive skins. and
black hair and eyes, and their fea-
lures are generally similar.
The go-between then carries all
messages. and the young people. II
the match is arranged, see each other
only a few times before the ceremony.
Husband King Of the Home.
The bride after the wedding cere-
mony goes with her husband to his
home. which also is the home Of his
parents
II there Is divorce after long
years Of marriage, no matter what the
cause is, the children go to the hus-
band. II the husband should die, it is
considered virtuous for the wife TO
remain widow always. There are
no gay widows in Japan. There are
three rules Of obedience that must be
followed by every Japanese girl.
/ When she is young she must obey her
father. when she is married she must
obey her husband, and when she is
old she must obey her Oldest son.
l Here in America. where a girl may
have her hearts desire for just few
words of flattery, it is hard to realize
that there is a country where the mer
are still supreme in everything.

A startling DIT OF religious news ID
the report that. 81 ministers OF the Up
per Iowa Methodist conference, at its
recent session. have felt compelled to
withdraw from the ministry. The
larger part OF the number are young
men, but a few years out OF the sem.
mary. They will seek other occupa-
lions, not from lack Of devotion to
their chosen calling, but simply and
solely because the salaries paid are
not suffi oient to maintain decent
standard OF living. While the cost Of
living has shot upward, ministers sal
aries, never large, have remained sta
tionary, so that it Is not surprising
that these Iowa clergymen have found
it impossible, on the pittance received,
to educate their children properly. to
keep themselves supplied with neces-
sary books and to maintain that de-
cent standard of living which all
churches seem to expect of their min
isters.-Leslie's.

Life surely a Serious Problem.

The only things that are falling are
substantially steel-but the people
cannot eat these. What with tariffs
that limit the supply. and controlled
market conditions, life is becoming
rather serious problem. Even our
friends to the north Of us may find
that their great victory" will entail
unpleasant consequences. They may
have saved themselves from the awful
peril Of annexation" only to find that
they have robbed themselves of many
OF the good things Of life.

The country feels general depres-
sion OF energy. 1t feels that the times
are lean and growing leaner. 1t is not
plunged in adversely. but it feels de-
pressing slackness OF prosperity. The
cause is plainly the confusion OF poll
tics and public affairs. The need OF
definite policies, Of constructive con-
victions, OF firm leadership, is felt
everywhere. And 1t Is difficult to see
how Mr.. Taft's campaign plans are
going to supply that demand.
