"Japan's problem is to make the

Starr. The Japanese administration
is doing well, but the Korean feeling
is one of sullen dissatisfaction. The
Koreans have a better government
and better facilities of every sort than
ever before, but the situation still is
most difficult
"The Japanese and Koreans are
more closely related than the Koreans
and Chinese, yet geographically and
cultura1ly the Koreans have been pro.
foundly affected by the Chinese.
"Korea was a center of illumination

DEATH COMES TO SEEKER
Man Who Asked Permit to Kill His
Wife and Family Dies Soon After
Getting Work.

Louisville, Ky-Death which he so
eagerly sought a few weeks ago while
out of work came unexpectedly to
john M. McCord the other day when
he was killed at one of the barns OF
the Louisville Street Railway COM
pany, where he had secured employ
ment only a few days ago.
A few weeks ago McCord walked
into the Office Of Prosecuting Attor
ney Harry Robinson of the police
court and startled that official by
asking to be given a permit to kill his
wife and three children and end his
own life
He said he has been without work
for number Of months and that his
family was in destitute circum.
stances.
Having tried in vain to secure work,
McCord said he had concluded to kill
his family and then end his own life,
but he did not wish to break any law
in so doing and desired to know if
he could not secure permit that
would legalize the act.
McCord was placed in custody, but
was later released after the authori-
ties had investigated conditions at
the mans home, and supplied the i'm,
mediate wants Of his family.
A few days ago McCord secured
employment washing cars in one Of
the barns Of the Louisville Street
Railway company. Yesterday after
noon he was struck by a car backing
into the barn and knocked into a re-
pair pit, receiving injuries that result,
ed in death few minutes later.

Chicago.-After 1000 years Of CROSS
legged meditation in a heather tenn.
pie Of Korea, something exciting has
happened to the giant stone Buddha
OF Kyong Ju. The idol has been meas
ured, poked in it's sacred ribs, and
made the center of new theory by
Prof. Frederick Starr, the University
of Chicago anthropologist, who re-
turned recently from trip Of oriental
exploration.
In the seated Buddha, which has
stared at the eastern sea in compare
tive neglect for many centuries, Pro
lessor Starr believes he has found the
masterpiece Of an ancient fully devel-
oped Korean art, the prototype Of the
famous bronze Japanese Buddhas of
Nara and Kamakura, and traces of
sculpture and architecture analogous
to that Of Yucatan and Central Amer
lea.

IN LEISURE MOMENTS.
DESIGNING OLD BEDsPREADs is
THE LATEST FAD.
Two Ideas That Are Both Popular
and Effective Are In Strip or the
Diamond Design Of Irvine or
Monks Cloth.

Young girls have found way to
keep their nimble fingers busy in the
making of rather odd bedspreads.
appropriate mostly for the rooms
of bachelor brothers, friends or even
uncles.
Of these new bedspreads there are
two kinds those made Of Irvine and
those made of monks cloth. Both are
popular and effective. It is matter
of taste with a young girl whether
she wishes to crochet twine bed
spread or to sew together and rough
Iy embroider one Of monks cloth.
The Irvine bedspreads have taken
the place in the working of neck
ties for crochet work. Happily they
are not all made in one piece, but OF
many small squares or diamonds, ac-
cording to the design, which are sewn
together later 1t is therefore an easy
matter to carry about in the WOrkbag
one or two pieces in process of ma
king and to take them out whenever
an opportunity offers for little light
crocheting.
The so-called Irvine used for these
bedspreads comes in large balls like
those of ordinary Irvine, and can be
purchased at either fancy or depart
ment shops. The needle should be
of size that handles well the par
ticular thickness of Irvine necessary
for, the selected design.
Some girls are making these bed
spreads in strips after designs long
known in connection with afghans,
and prefer them to the those that are
| made out of numbers Of small
squares or diamonds. The strip de-
sign gets rid of the labor of sewing
the many small pieces together. It is
also equally pretty. The designs made
in small squares or diamonds are real
ly more elegant, for they follow pat
terms suggestive of cluny lace and are
done with finer Irvine than those in
strips. They are more for the young
girls own bedroom than for that Of
the bachelor brother The successful
note about such work is that it pro
duces an Immediate stylish effect.
And once made such bedspreads last
forever.
