Toxic Is Spreading Out.

Although Toxic is said TO be almost -
large in area as London, its popu alton
is. according to the latest figures, only
1866, 600.
Big as it is i'm extent, Toxic is constant
ly spreading out, and the question or
Transportation looms up as tremendous
problem for the near future. The mod
ern electric car system supplies the great
masses with means of transport, but
IL is believed some substitute must be
found for the old-time. picturesque rick
shaw, which requires such q length of
time to travel between distant points Ii
Is not unlikely that the electric motor
bus Of the great European cities may find
it's way to Toxic as solution of the
problem.
Tokio's growth has made other rapid
changes and the most notable Is in the
cost of living. This Is about three times
as high as 1t was ten or fifteen years ago.
Newly arriving foreigners who come TO
live in Japan are astounded. They find
that the cost of living in japan is as high
as I'm Paris or London, though the alb
sence of theaters and restaurants and the
general places of amusement reduce tho
possibilities of expenditure for the luxur-
les of life.
The increase in japanese taxes Is the
fundamental cause of the higher cost or
living. 1t has caused the laborer TO
triple his wage in the last twenty years
and everything else has followed In Its
wake.

Divorces Decrease in Toxic.

One of the most striking features OF the
new census report Of Toxic is the rapid
decrease of divorces. In 1904 there were
20 divorces to every 100 marriages. In
1911 the percentage had fallen to 16 In
100.
This decline is attributed to an impor-
tant change that Is slowly buI surely
taking place In the family system of ia
pan. The growth of individualism and the
greater opportunities for the average citi-
zen to advance on a basis of intelligence
and capacity have affected the family
system so much that certain distinct re-
suits are already noted
Greater freedom of choice is permitted
among the young people, and the infiu-
ence of the mother-in-,aw over the new
household has considerably diminished
Until western influences began to affect
the Japanese social system the newly
welded bride always entered the home or
her mother-in-law and obeyed her In her
every action. This state of affairs often
led and does lead now to discord and d.
vorce. But the assertion by the daugh-
ter-in-law OF her rights and the tendency
for new couples to establish a home by
themselves has changed all this.

Discussion OF the American-Japanese
controversy gave occasion recently to
Count Shigenobu Okuna. former Jap
anese foreign minister. TO express his
Impressions Of American temperament
The problem was a vast one, he de-
clared-more far-reaching than Is COM
monty thought by the Japanese people.
Ii was a problem whose solution depend
ed upon patience and endurance as well
as diplomatic tact Japan which had
reeained after long struggle the right
of decision In her own affairs. must now
acquire the power TO have a say among
the great nations on all questions .nvolv-
ing her interests.
Meantime the United States will re-
main difficult problem. he said. not only
to japan. but to the whole of Europe.
He added: Great Britain has been time
and again annoyed by the naughty and
eccentric manner in which America be-
haves herself. The arbitration and Pam
anna tolls problems are the latest illus
trations"
The veteran statesman continued:
What makes the matter more trouble
some Is the tempestuous and irascible
mood of the American people. One mo-
ment they rise and rage Ike madmen
and in the next drop to nonchalance For
instance, the California problem seems
already sinking down to the lethargic
level You never know the yasaries OF
the American psychology"
However, Count Okuma is brightly op-
tiniistic and believes Japan and America
will eventually settle all their problems

BEGINNING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

The country ia arriving at the solution Of
the problem of the high cost of living, One
hundred quarters of alfa]fafed beef arrived in
New York Saturday from the Argentine repub-
lie, the first direct importation in commercial
history big delegation OF butchers includ
ing a number from Washington market, were
on hand to inspect the beef and find out If it
is as good as the American corn-fed variety.
They are trying to make us believe you can't
tell the difference between Them" said one Of the
butchers Personally / think alfalfa-fed beef
may do for restaurants but I'm sure that the
man who knows good steak will not prefer it to
American beef"
If there's anything finer than alfalfa-fed beef
1t Is yet to be discovered and we believe Com
missioner Koiner will back up the statement
The trouble is that the New York butcher either
had an axe to grind or has never sampled the
yirginia-bred variety.
Although rhese shipments twice crossed the
Atlantic before they reached the New York
market the beef was sold after the payment of
tariff duties at a price lower than American
beef, which had made an overland trip from
the West.
