Washington, Dec. 1.--Creation of

From this draft will be developed the

Congress after long and bitter

Coronation of
Japan's Emperor

The land OF the cherry blossom and
chrysanthemum will this month blaze
with added splendor and radiancy
during the coronation ceremonies of
His Majesty. Yoshito, the one hun.
dred and twenty.second Emperor of
Japan. He had assembled the throne
on July 80, 1912 upon the death of
his father, Mutsuhito, and would have
formally pronounced himself Emper.
or two years ago. at the expiration
of the mourning period, but his moth.
er's death brought the royal family
again into bereavement.
The coronation ceremonies, which
will attract attention throughout the
entire world, are of deep significance
to the people of Japan. The royal
family is of the purest descent, the
present dynasty being supposed to
have been founded by the first EN-
peror. Yet the Japanese look upon
their sovereign almost as one of their
own number. As ruler, he has won
the respect and esteem of his sub
jects, but far more significant Is their
simple devotion, amounting even to
worship. One observer OF this Land
of the Rising Sun glimpsed the truth
when he remarked. THE empire is
one great family; the family is a
little empire"
Emperor Yashito Is thirty-six years
old, and the Empress Sadako Is five
years younger. Their three children
are boys the eldest being fourteen

ship and It will be carried out almost
| exactly as was the custom nearly
three thousand years ago. The &C.
| CASTOR will not only commemorate
the Emperor's Coronation, but 1t will
also be a memorial day for all his
ancestors. In Japan the sovereign is
not crowned; he merely ascends the
throne, claps his hands, and he de.
clares his Supreme Command of the
Empire
Although Toxic is the present capt.
tai, all crownings must take place in
beautiful old Kyoto, the home of all
previous pageants. The place Is so
small that even noblemen are not in
vited. though they are entitled to be
present. The palaces where the rites
are to be solemnized were built in
days when such large entertainments
were unknown.
To understand the coronation the
reader must remember that the Jap
anese base their government on An
cestor Worship. Their first ruler is
believed to have been descended from
goddess, before the time OF Christ.
Each Emperor upon ascending the
throne, acquires the Divine Treas
ures OF the Imperial Ancestors. "

Sterilization of
Dental InStr,.-
ments Important

The possibility of the transmission
of disease through the medium of
dental instruments has probably been
considered by every occupant OF the
dentists chair. II constitutes one or
the fears with which a patient is pos
sessed the moment he adjusts him
self for his period of treatment. Au-
thoritative instances of the convey
ance OF contaglon In this manner are
extremely rare, it's frequency not be-
ing determinable, although few VIII
deny the possibilities Of occurrences
Of this character.
The list OF organisms which may
contaminate dental instruments Is
formidable, but this does not mean
that the diseases OF which they are
the causative factors necessarily en-
sue IL they are accidentally carried
into the mouth Their presence up
on dental instruments is, however, an
indication OF what the surgeons call
poor technique. In surgery poor
technique Is usually attended with
disastrous results, but In dentistry
errors OF this character may produce
no III effects. In spite OF this rela

tive freedom from danger, dentists
are determined that their methods
shall equal the highest standards.
Cleanliness should be the primary
consideration in all dental operations.
The white coat of the operator repre-
sents more than comfort; 1t is the
symbol of neatness. The dentist who
works with unclean instruments, who
provides oiled linen, or who places
common drinking glass before his
patient, should be judged according
ly. Fortunately the members of the
profession who do these things are
criticized and suffer from loss OF
patronage, so that there is a strong
tendency On the part of dentists to
maintain their surroundings above
reproach. With the sterilization OF
instruments some carelessness may
manifest itself, partly owing to the
fact that many instruments are in
jured by such processes, are too com
pllcated to detect errors Of technique
However, the public is rapidly, learn
ing the value of aseptic methods and

Thorough studies OF the sterillza

EFFICIENCY IN NATIONAL GUARD
III must not be forgotten that the
organized Militia Is composed almost
entirely of men engaged in professions
trades and other lines of activity upon
which they depend for a livelihood
Leading militia authorities are of the
opinion that, before it can progress
beyond its present standard of eff
ciency 1t will be necessary for the
Federal government to increase it's
appropriation for maintenance and
provide some measure OF pay for the
oihcers and enlisted men in recognition
or the great amount of time devoted

CURED by the War Department.
Through its representatives, the Or
ganized Militia, after an effort of more
than four years, in conference with the
army officers designated by the War
Department. have agreed upon the
terms of a pay bill. This so-called pay
bill was introduced by Senator Cham
berlain during the recent session of
Congress, and provides pay for officers
below the rank of lieutenant colonel
and for the enlisted man in an amount
equal to one-fourth of that paid to the
same grade in the army. The pay is

which their author had ever uttered.
There are people still alive who can
describe the awful hush which fell
upon the House when on February
20, 1855, he appealed to the ancient
and vaingiorious Palmerston to stay
the effusion of human blood. II do
not suppose that your troops are to
be beaten in actual conflict with the
foe, or that they will be driven into
the sea; but l am certain that many
homes in England, in which there
now exists a fond hope that the dis

homes will be rendered desolate when
the next mail shall arrive. The Angel
OF Death has been abroad throughout
the land; you may almost hear the

JOHN BRIGHT

Bright was once walking with one
of his sons past the Guards Monu-
ment in Waterloo Place. The boy
asked the meaning of the single word
inscribed on the base-Crimea. The
fathers answer was as emphatic as
the inscription: "a Crime" Those
two words epitomize Bright's whole
mind and heart at the most trying.
and most heroic, period of his long
life For nearly forty years Europe
had enjoyed the sunshine of unbro6en
peace, but, by the end of 1853, Russia
and Turkey, were at war. England
had no concern in the quarrel, but
presently espoused the cause of Tur-
key The fatal step was announced
on March 29th, 1854. and on the 31st

Commons the first of his great Cri-
