Japan,s Marrow Railways.


 When the railways of Japan were first planned the narrow gauge of three feet six inches was selected for them, because it was cheapest to build and equip and was thought best suited to the country's narrow highways and steep grades. Now the 5000 miles of Japanese railways. all of narrow gauge, are found to be sadly behind the times, and a movement is on foot to rebuild them to standard gauge, although the cost is estimated at nearly ,$450, ,O0O,- GOO. At present the trains are slow, the fastest expresses making less than thirty miles an hour; the coaches are low and narrow, and the sleeping cars are cramped and inconvenient, while most of the railway inventions of oth- CT nations cannot |. used because of the, difference in track gauge and size of cars. The director of the imperial railways favors the change, in spite of the cost, and estimates that the main Tokaido line could be converted to broad gauge in twelve years and the other lines on the main island of Ja- pan within twenty-five years.-Popu- lar Mechanics Magazine.

STOCK MARKET ~~>~~~

New York, June 4-Liquidation of railroads was resumed during today's early trading in stocks. leading issues of that group losing one to almost three points. Pressure against St. Paul and Delaware & Hudson was again most pronounced. Weakness of those stocks provoked general irreg.- ularity elsewhere, United States Steel losing a point with other industrials and metals: Oils also lost ground with Central Leather, shippings, sugars and other unc1assified stocks. Indus trial Alcohol as heaviest of the high priced specialties, losing 2 2h points. There were irregular, rallies in steels and some of the minor issues before the end of the first half hour.
 Noon-Gradual recoverfes were made in almost, all parts of the list during the dull morning. United States Steel rallied to last weeks final quotation and Bethlehem Steel rebounded three points Motors and accessories are responded to a bet ter inquiry at actual gains of one to 12 points. For the most part railroads retrieved their losses, but dealings in that division were rela- lively small.

scr1pt1ons are entered in the name of financial institutions who are liberal ly aiding buyers in financing their purchases. The accumulation of such immense amounts must of necessity have an important effect upon the in, es.ment and speculative markets and the inflationary effects of war are becoming more ana more eyiden ced in the persistent rise of both se- curities and commodities. One effect has been the falling off in domestic capital issues, the total reported for May in the United States being. s48.- 100000 as against $192,OO0, ,00O a year agb. Since January 1st, the total reported has been s887,000,00o com pared with $1,1S4,000 last year. This decrease, which was chiefly in indus trial corporations, is the natural re- suit of, the diversion of capital from the pursuits of peace to those of war.
 Encouragement. too, for security
 holders has been contained in the more liberal attitude of the Adminis- tration at Washington in connection with the purchase of war supplies. As these purchases are constituting by far the most important business than sections of the country at thes pres ent time this modification of attitude

 nection with the profits of our in
 dustrial plants. Instead of cutting
 down prices at which materials are to be purchased. it has seemingly been found the wiser plan to afford an incentive for activity and enter prise in industrial circles. Every ef- fort is to be made to prevent exces- sive prices for such materials. But there clearly is a difference in this respect between prices that will en- courage full and prompt deliveries of much-needed supplies and a policy , of financial Encouragement to pro-
 duction. Still another feature is the apparently favorable prospect for high freight rates becoming avail able to our railroads to compensate
 for the sensational increases in ex- lpenditures.
 The immediate market situation I'seems to suggest response to the I growing enthusiasm which is attend ling the steady and successful distri-
 button of the Liberty loan.

It Is mistake, AYERS the nluminat-
ing Engineer Society, to use bright
light against a dark background, and
while an artistic fixture is we'll enough
as a decoration, yet lamps which in
themselves are good and suitable will
not be satisfactory from a hygienic
standpoint unless the fixtures aIe in
the right position. In planning the IL.
Elimination of room it is only COM
mon sense to determine just what you
are going to use that room for, and
then to arrange the lighting. By do
ing this it should be possible for peo-
pie of middle age to add years Of ex-
cellent eyesight which otherwise
would soon diminish. Where children
Of various ages are in a family the
matter Of artificial light is Of great inn
.portance. The general health Of a
growing boy or girl may be seriously
affected by careless lighting, especial
ly in rooms where they read or study
their lessons.

In addition to this, discussions at
these meetings focused the attention
Of powerful commercial, labor and
patriotic organizations throughout the
country on the vital Importance of
alien instruction and closer federal
supervision of the naturalization law
Evidence of this is seen in the resolu-
tons they have forwarded to men,
bers Of the United States senate and
house of representatives favoring the
use OF all fees received by the gov
eminent in naturalization matters for
the education Of the alien popula-
ton of the country. These resolu-
tons closely followed the information,
that since the bureau of naturaliza-
ton received from congress a few
years ago, the sole control of naturali
Zation matters, there has been an an
nual average of over $6o,000 in eX-
cess of all cost Of maintenance The
citizens OF the United States do not
bear one cent OF the expense of this
governmental agency. 1t is all borne
by the foreigner, who applies for cft1-
zenship. In other words, from the So
paid by each foreigner for a good ad-
1ninistration OF the naturalization law,
all of the expenses of the naturaliza-
ton of over 100000 annually are paid,
and over $4,000, on an average, is
turned into Uncle Sans pocket-book
every year.
The activities of the bureau OF
naturalization show how routine
governmental agency has been trans
formed into a great humanizing force
This has been accomplished by link
ing together those important agencies,
the federal and state courts, the fed
eral government and the state public
schools. The work of this bureau now
stands for more than naturalization,
as the term is generally understood.
1t represents Americanization in It's
truest sense. 1t cordially welcomes
and brings into the national family
foreign friends fully qualified, through
public school instruction, for the
proud title of citizenship.

Much Fresh Air Is Needed.

Trouble brings on heart conditions
and lung difficulties, 1t is said, because
there is then lack of fresh air taken
into the lungs and the breathing is
never deep enough. Therefore, to
make It habit to breathe deeply,
whether one feels like it or not, is one
Of the best remedies for the difficulty
In hand, whatever it may be. Again,
not only must past blessings be inven-
toried, but a hope must be held out,
which will give one a goal to work for.
No one man or woman ran live with
out this aim in life. The joys or
.avors in hand must be remembered,
to be sure, but there must also be
something ahead in view or there is q
