JAPAN is PAYING THE PRICE
ing Physical Efficiency and Moral
Standards of People.

This move Of the population from
the maple-clad hills and rice fields of
beautiful Japan to the crowded quar-
tiers, low resorts and inhuman factories
of the cities is lowering the physical
efficiency, the mental horizon and the
moral standards of the people. 'Tuber-
culosis is taking its toll from frenzied
industrialism. A prominent Y. M. G.
A. worker, Mr.. J. Merle Davis, whose
study of the social problems of an in
creasing urban population in Japan
has been thorough, says that an ex-
pert in factory conditions makes the
statement that often One-half of the
girls employed in certain mills become
depraved within a year after entering
the mills. They lose their health soon
after, so that the price of a broader
commerce and a sun flag in every port
is being paid by weak womanhood and
hollow-chested men.-Christian Her

UNNECESSARY WASTE is SEEN

well they think it best TO cultivate the
small corn the first time with shovel
pillow and let the moisture from the
depth escape. Second, when the corn is
four weeks old or more some of them
still persist in using shovel pillow, dig

40 per cent Of the yield Of corn by
decorating the root system, more or less.
There is gain first last and all the

No Servant Problem Here.

An article in the Womans Home
Companion says that 90 per cent of
the women in this country do all their
own work. and the writer adds that her
particular domestic problem has been
solved by a scientifically planned and
pretty kitchen that serves as a dining
room also. Numerous devices and in
novations have been contrived by her
that make this room artistic and at
tractive as well as useful.

out types, with landing speeds of from 75 to go miles an hour. Few, if any, have been equipped with engines mucn exceeding 160~ horsepower.
 There is no inherent reason why this horsepower cannot be approximately doubled This would be sufficient to drive 8 strongly constructed reliable triplane, carrying, perhaps, two pas sengers at from 20 to 30 miles an hour faster than any airplane has vet flown Such a machine is actually under con- struction in this country: and as the Germans have been steadily little ahead of the allies, so far as their ma chimes are concerned, there is little reason to doubt what similar eXperl- ments are under way in Germany.
 If some retarding device can be found which will lower the landing speed to a reasonably safe point, these machines will outclass anything that has so far been built.
 As far as the design of these engines is concerned, they differ in no impor- tant particular. except their weight from the finer type of motor car mo- tor. A fine aero engine is simply ar astonishingly clever piece of mechan- ical construction. It is very nearly handmade from end to end.

APPEAL ID TEST
 BUILDING CODE

Upon evidence introducedt by City Building Inspector Herbert J. Mann, four convictions were secured yesterday morning against Mrs. Hattie Mosher, two on charges of completing con- struction of buildings within the spe- cial fire limits in violation of the build ing ordinance requiring the use of fire proof or re-resisting material. The other two convictions were upon charG- es of erecting buildings unlaWfully and withous having secured permits from the building inspector.
 To each of the four charges Mrs. Mosher. through her attorney, J. B. Woodward, entered pleas of not guilty. No evidence was offered by the defen- dant to refute that of Building Inspec- tor Mann and Magistrate Thomas lost no time in adjudging her guilty, as charged. Notice having been given Of an appeal to the superior court, sen tence in each instance was deferred pending the outcome of the proceedings in the higher court.
 It is said the appeal will raise a question as to the constitutionality of the building ordinances and the as- thority of the city officials to enforTs them.
 Some time ago Mrs. Mosher was con- Victed of charge of erecting build = ing without complying with the re- quirements of the building ordinances At that time sentence was deferred for 50 days in order to give her time to perfect an appeal. The actions grow out of Mrs Mosher's determination tc erect buildings for garage and other automobile purposes on her Central avenue property. In the erection ot more than dozen of these small struc- 1 lures, which Mrs. Mosher classes as
 sheds, 'inflammable material is said tC
 have been used As the buildings are
 within the special fire limits and are held by the city authorities to be g

QUICK RESPONSE
 COMES .TO GALL

There is sort of comfy feeling which comes when some good has been done and so it is pleasure to chron- lcle the result of the little appeal made in The Republican yesterday morning. an appeal which set forth the need of an aged couple now solely dependent upon outside aid for their very life. In response to this appeal the Associated Charities at once secured the name and address and upon investigation found the facts substantially as set forth. It was also found that the old people speak foreign language and little English and so a physician who speaks their tongue was approached and at once took up their case. Not only that, nurse who speaks the language has been installed and more comfort than the aged people have known for long time has been Drought into their little home to comfort them in their declining years.
 Phoenix, ever ready to respond tc the call of worthy cases, has responded in this instance as it usually does.

 HELPING FUND

In order to assist in raising the funds for the completion of their beautiful new church building on North Central avenue, the women of the Christian church are preparing to serve lunch every Friday to the Rotary club. The women were busy yesterday with brooms, mops and dusters putting a room in the old Central school building into shape for a banquet hall. The room is at the west end of the building on the second floor and the furnishings will include, besides the tables and chairs a piano which will be of great value when programs are given. A smaller room at the north end is being fitted up for kitchen, which will con- tain many of the modern conveniences for the preparing and serving of meals. The first luncheon will be served 10 the Rotary club next Friday.
 Since last May the women have served the Kiwanis club every Tues day at the Y. NJ. C. A. building, and although finding the work great task, they are willing to increase their lab ors in order to assist in the building of the new church. k A bazaar will be given by the women on November 30, and December 1, the
