HAT INDUSTRY STIMULATED.

Consul General Thomas Sammons,
stationed at Yokohama, Japan, has re-
ported to the department of commerce
that the cutting Of queues In China
has greatly stimulated the hat indus
try.
in 1910 Japan sold to China $o9,-
263 worth Of hats writes Consul
Summons. "In 1912 the sales amount
ed to $S6S,713. The great increase in
Japan's sales to China resulted from
the demand for inexpensive felt hats
and cloth caps, for the immediate use
of the Chinese who have cut their
queues.
The demand for hats and caps
among Chinese men is greater south
of the Yangtse river than In the
northern provinces, the manufactur'
ers Of this class of Japanese goods
being advised that the cutting Of the
queues was more active in the south
than in the north

TO INVESTIGATE ELECTRICITY
DANGERS.

Experts in the United States bureau
Of standards are now making plans
for an investigation of the dangers to
life and property from electricity pro

introduced by former Representative

This investigation will be started dur
ing the coming summer and the work
will be conducted by DR.. <. B. Rosa
and his assistants OF the bureau of
standards, under the direction of DR..

With the rapid increase in the use
of electricity as a force of production
and transportation and for purposes Of
lighting and heating there has been a
marked increase during late years in
the number of lives lost and persons
injured by electric shock. While reli-

known that the number of accidents
could be greatly lessened If safety
measures now in use in some places
could be standardized and generally

Peculiar Pets.

An English major with a pcnchant
for entomology asserts that the hor.
net is "a gentle. inoffonsive creature,
very suitable for pet" This re.
minds one of an incident in the life OF
the late Lord hgebury. Travelling one
day on railway train with n pet
wasp in his pocket, he hurriedly
thrust his hand into his pocket to get
his ticket, and the wasp stung him. He
did not blame the wasp, however, as
his hurried action had frightened the
creature. Wasps have frequently be.
come pets, but the major is said TO
be the first to turn the hornet into
one.

IN BURMA
No One Interferes in the Affairs
of Another.
Remarkable Trait Of Burmese Ciarae
ter is Their Unwilllnsness - In
terfere In Other Peoples Busl-
1ess-Each Acts for Self.

London.--A remarkable trait of tho
Burmese character is their unwilling.
ness to interfere In other peoples
affairs. Whether 1t arises from their
religion of sclf-culture or no, cannot
say, but 1t is In full keeping with 1t.
Every mans acts and thoughts are his
own affair. think the Burmans; each
man Is free to go his own way, to
think his own thoughts, to act his own
acts, as lcog as he does not too muca
annoy his ueighbors. Each man is
responsible for himself and for him.
self alone, and there is no need for
him to try and be guardian also to his
fellows And SO the Burman likes to
go his own way, to be free man
within certain limits; and the freedom
that he demands for himself he will
extend also to his Ieighbors. He has
a very great and wide tolerance to.
ward all HIS neighbors, not thinking It
necessary to disapprove of his neigh
bors' acts because they may not be
the same as his own. never thinking
it necessary to interfere with his
neighbors as long as the laws are
not broken.
Our idea that what habits are dit-
ferent 70 our habits must be wrong,
and being wrong require correction at
our hands, Is very far from his
thoughts. He never desires to inter.
fere with anyone. Certain as he is
that his own ideas are best, he is con-
tented with that knowledge, and is not
ceaselessly DESTROYS OF proving it
upon other people.
And so foreigner may go and live
In Burman village, may settle down
there and live his own life and follow
his own customs In perfect freedom;
may dress and eat and drink and pray
and die as he likes. No one will in
terfere. No one will try and correct
him; no one will be forever insisting
to him that he is an outcast, either
from civilization of from religion. The
people will accept him for what he
is and leave the matter there. II he
likes to change his ways and conform
to Burmese habits and Buddhist forms,

GIANT SUBMARINES PLANN d.

While the navy department con-
sistently has been extremely reticent
concerning It's submarines, it has be-
come known that the plans for the
three vessels of this type authorized
by the last session of congress, and
for which bids are about to be asked,
contemplate vessels much larger than
any now in commission.
Although the pioneer in submarine
navigation, the American navy has
been outstripped by European engi-
neers In the matter of size, speed and
offensive power Of underwater craft
The navy department designers now
are planning much larger and more
formidable vessels of this type, and
some of them prophesy the develop
ment of the submarine into a giant
battleship that will replace the dread
noughts in the FIRST line Of defense.
They even contend these vessels would
be able to disappear beneath the sur
face of the sea to escape return fire
after discharging their great 12-inch
rifles at an enemy.

red affair that he pedaled, with his

pedaled he turned his head once in

an expression of fear on his face.
When his little, fat legs stopped
their furious pumping and the machine
came to halt, ii was to be seen that

Royalties That Dislike the Motor.

The car is, among European mon.

use of the motor car. His imperial
majesty, in former days, registered
vow that he would never enter such
conveyance, and although necessity
occasionally compels him to break it,
his dislike for motors is undated

I'M
WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE
WINS PLAUDITS AT SHUBERT

Take a big bunch Of pretty girls,
some prettier than the others. but all
pretty. add a whole lot Of catchy and
tunefuI music, some splendid dancing.
together with a whole lot Of witty
and sparkling dialogue delivered by
principals who know how to deliver
1t, and you have a composite pic
ture Of the new Philip Bartholomae-
Silvio Helm musical comedy, When
Dreams Come True" that had it's first
appearance outside Of New York city
al the Shubert Theatre.
True, the recipe given above is one
that applies TO almost any musical
comedy. but When Dreams Come
True" is just a little different from
any that has been seen In Newark be-
fore. Just where the difference is is
hard to tell, but II is there, and you
will say so yourself after you have
seen IL.
One reason is. as was aptly put by
a lady. who, when leaving the theatre
last night, coined a couple OF new
and "dancingiest' show she had ever
seen.
The two coined words really des-
cribe the show, for It is full TO the
limit Of singing and with the best
dancing as q whole seen on a local
stage IN many years. The music
of Silvio Helm Is not of a
type to live forever, but 1t is light.
catchy and tuneful, and goes with a
lot of spirit while the dance numbers
are superb. In the entire company,
numbering fifteen principals and a
male and female chorus, numbering
over thirty. there is not single mem
Der who cannot dance, and dance they
do, on every occasion.
And occasions are numerous, for
Joseph Santley, the leading man, is q
dancer of the highest rank, and he
has not only provided dances galore
for himself, but also keeps the others
in the company busy. Beside his
dancing, Mr.. Santley proved last night
that he has a splendid singing voice
and is a comedian of great merit.
He is ably aided by Miss May VolSes,
who has another of her inimitable
roles OF the country girl, whose lack
of knowledge Of city ways gets her
into all sorts Of peculiar mix-ups.
Her role provides her with some very
funny lines and with her "undignified"
way of doing things she had the audi
ence in a roar all the time she was on
the stage, and that was the greater
part of the time after the first act
