Can we recognize our loved ones in

there?
The love we have for our friends
and relatives in this world will be
sanctified and perfected in heaven.
Though Our Lord tells us we must
have more love for Him than for any
other, even our dearest relatives; yet
He commands us to love them and this
command He will not change when we
are in His presence in heaven. This
love indeed will be purified and in.
tensified in the fire of that love which
is God Himself.

Thirty years after the first effort

tune Of the country for women as

three years to a violent reaction, it is
again decreed that the kimono of old
Japan must be discarded.
Somehow. it seems like the obliteration
of a nationality to think of the slant
eyed beauties of Nippon exchanging
their polite greetings at the Feast OF
the Cherry Blossoms or under the bios
soming -istaria in shirtwaists or blous-s
or middies and the unbeautiful skirt OF
western civilization.
Something is to be taken from the
glamour of the orient if the beautifully
brOCaded garments so daintily and be-
comingly worn by the daughters Of the
Samurai is to disappear. Even the cheap
cotton kimonO of the coolie class seems
to suggest the art which is so large a part
of the Japanese daily life.

And at an imperial ball on the date

From the first the innovation was un-

was almost the physical equal of her
mate. Her clothing. free Of restriction,
had helped much in this result. But with
corsets and with tight shoes replacing
the sandals of other days came the evils
which follow the allegiance to style

periOrity Of man.
Of course there is a reason. II is for
the benefit OF the poorer classes. Tne
wives OF the rich have concluded that
the clothes of the less fortunate are cost
ing them too much and have set out 20
remedy the economic defect. That sounds
more occidental than oriental
1t is set forth in the literature OF the
reform that eight rolls Of cloth are need
ed for a winters wardrobe. The cost
amounts to one-third the average income
in the classes to be benefited The press
agent for the propagandists evidently had
a passion for statistics, for il is officially
stated that TO make up the material 22O
feet of thread is needed and 10000
stitches are required.
The japanese women fostering the
movement consider these 10000 stitches
a waste of energy. II is said that in
some households fashioning kimonos and
other articles Of wearing apparel for the
family occupies the womenfolk nearly
the entire year Just why is not ma 7e

sewing is not done on machines but en-

And so prizes have been offered with
competition open to anyone in the en-

edict Of 1886 was an imperial order The
people resented the forced change and
the later policy permitted its abandon

But a reform that proceeds out OF the

FoRECAsTING WEATHER
Claims He Can roretell Conditions
Three Weeks in Advance

Washington, March IA new sys-
tenn of forecasting the weather TOR
three weeks in advance has been dis
covered by w. F.. Carothers, the dl-
rector of Carothers' private observa-
tory. at Houston, Tex, and was made
public yesterday by Prof. Willis Lu-
ther Moore, head of the meteorolog-
ical department at George Washing
ton University and who was for
many years the head of the United
States Weather Bureau.
Prof. Moore stated that the Caro-
theirs discovery will enable forecasters
to determine what the weather will
be two or three weeks in advance to
"a greater degree of accuracy than
they can at the present time.
"All storms are traceable back to
variations in solar intensity, or to
pulsations in solar intensity" SAID
Prof. Moore. "These pulsations cali
be as definitely measured by the me-
thods found by Mr.. Carothers, and
