A Native Protest Against Feminine
fashions In Japan.


A caustic Japanese critic. Saito Man,
mas this to say in the Tokyo Advertiser
about women's fashions In Japan:
archaic costumes, especially those
universally worn by ladies', demand re-
form. The INDECENT world can be CLOTH
ed out of the materials wasted in gor-
geous kimono sleeves. Nothing is so
absurd as the long, heavy, pendulant
sleeves attached to girls holiday ki-
mono. They serve no purpose, impede
locomotion and are q pitiful spectacle.
The girdle is more cumbrous and ex-
penslve, especially those woven in one
piece of heaviest silk.
Formerly the latter were only worn
at weddings and state affairs; now ey-
cry gelsha has one. Every wife must
have one to sport at the theater. In
price this maruobi varies from so TO
1000 yen ($15 to $500 and upward. To

well built husband or father. | do not
know any japanese woman who ever
succeeded In putting on one herself.
'It is over three feet wide, folded into
half that width when worn, and its
length is three times the full height Of
its wearer. In weight it is terrific,
thickly embroidered as it is with gold
en- threads. 1t is chiefest attraction IN
the whole dress scheme Of japanese
womanhood. One might as well ask
woman to discard her hair as it. Every
well dressed Japanese lady is martyr
to her girdles. Her entire waist is Gov
cred with layers of betting. From tile
viewpoint of health the girdle (obi) Is
a most vile contrivance, as every doe

 A flat denial was made that the German intrigue in Mexico was justi fled because of activity of the United States.
 The facts of America's activities among nations of South America has been known to all the world for months and the only moves made down there by this country have been to call a convention to trade and the materially altered commercial condi- tions that have resulted from the war.

Cleveland, O.. January r-(special) The Iron Trade Review will say tomor- row:
 Troubles of blast furnaces steel plants and finishing mills increase. owing to con- tinued inability of railroads to give sat isfactory service.
 Active inquiry for pig iron for export continues and sale of 140o0 tons of Bessemer at $S5 furnace has been made by a Cleveland company for export to France. Scarcity of vessel capacity and extremely high ocean carrying charges are limiting the sales for export.
 The action of the Pennsylvania rail- road in withdrawing its inquiry for 205, 900 tons of steel rails for delivery next year was unexpected. While prices of rails were advanced $10 last year, and are now quoted at $40 for open hearth and $3S for Bessemer, the quotations are at least s20 under the price of semi-finished ma- terial, and other railroad companies have been buying freely. At the close of the old year it was estimated that fully 1O00.- = 900 tons of rails had been contracted for 1918 delivery and foreign buyers were clamoring for large tonnages.
 A new car order for France may reach 425Oo tons, of which number 5000 have
