TAJIRI GRADUATE OF YALE
New Mayor of Tokyo, Japan, Finished
His Education in Great Ameri-
can University.

Viscount Inajiro Tajiri, newly elect
ed mayor of the city of Tokyo, Japan,
is graduate of the class Of '79 of
Yale university, where he specialized
in economics, finance, politics and his
tory, says Christian Science Monitor.
Returning to Japan, he was appointed
a secretary in the department Of
finance and also to a chair in the i'm
perial university at Tokyo. Suisse
quently he was director of the bureau
of the national debt, banks and reve-
nue..
In the course of time he was admit
ted to the house of peers, and was vice
minister of finance, first in 1S92-1S97,
and again in 189S-1904. He was made
baron in 1895 and viscount in 1907
More recently he has been chief of
the board of audit. To knowledge of
the technique of banking, national
finance and international credit the
viscOunt adds interest in and mastery
of natural science, and in both fields
he is an authority.
His selection as mayor comes after
a long and futile effort of the munich
pal assembly to agree upon c2ndi-
date chosen from the ranks OF poll
ticians or ordinary civilians.

Twice Cited for Bravery.

To have been cited by the French
for bravery twice since his arrival in
France in January is the record of
Professor Stephen Fl. Bush of the
University of Iowa. In the wake of
the first official announcement came a
lengthy cablegram with the details of
his second citation. Courage and ten
acity in bringing in wounded over ex-
posed places" were conspicuous on the
part of Professor Bush, who is work
ing for the Y. M. G. A. with the Mo-
roccan divisions.
The cablegram further declares that
the "French are devoted to Professor
Bush and the other Y. M. G. A. work
ers in his division and are gaining a
high opinion of Americans through con-
tact with them" Professor Bush is
head of the department of romance
languages at the university.-Iowa

UPLIFTED BY WHITE RULE
Unlike Most UnciviIized Peoples, the
Maoris Have Been Helped by
Contact With Conquerors.

Once cannibals and fierce warriors,

Zealand are now lawyers, doctors,
even members of the New Zealand
legislature Their cannibalistic ten
denotes Britain long ago successful
ly suppressed. A few old warriors are
the only remaining examples of the
ancient art of tattooing.
The cannibalism of the MaoriS was
the natural consequence Of life in a
country where animals and birds were
few and hard to find. War was their
favorite sport, but from their ear
splitting, hair raising war dance often
performed even in time of peace, they
would turn to the story tellers for one
of the loved tales or songs of their
ancestors and heroes. A feeling OF
rhythm and poetry was deeply rooted
in these people. Many of their stories
were in verse form and they had a
song for every occasion.
They had not always lived in New
Zealand. Many years back chief had
gone on a long voyage from their
home in Hawaiki and had found an
island good for fishing and with few
natives to be conquered. To this is
land he led his people and here for
many generations they have lived and
fought. A Maori legend explains that
the north island of New Zealand was
caught up from the sea with jaw
bone fish hook by Maui, the favor
lite hero of the tribe. Many are the
legends of the deeds of Maui which
the Maori fathers relate to their sons
that they, too, may be brave and
strong, if not in battle, at least on
the football field, where today the
MaOris excel.
Those of the tribe who do not live
in the New Zealand cities are grouped
in little villages not unlike the Maori
settlements of the days before the
coming Of the white men. They raise
their grain, potatoes and tobacco in
their gardens, and fish in river and
sea for cells and trout. Unlike the In
dian, these people are holding their
own against civilization and are even
thriving in a British-ruled New Zea-
land.-Chicago Daily News.

Ban on Beer Is Not Affected.

Milwaukee, Nov. 13.-Ending of the
war does not mean that the order pro-
hibiting the brewing of beer will be
rescinded for the time being, according
to the views expressed by Milwaukee
brewers. The beer war measure issued
by President Wilson and Food Admin
istrator Hoover some weeks ago was
to the effect that all brewers must stop
the brewing of beer on December 1
until further notice. 1t was generally
believed that with the war ended brew
ers might be permitted to manufacture
the beverage. But this is not the Opin-
ion of those who have money invested
in the industry in Milwaukee. 1t is
believed that the order will stand be-
cause of the necessity for the cOnSer-
walton of food products.

TWO Ex-PREMlERS IN CABINET
Situation in British Politics That Has
Never Before Occurred Is Among
the Possibilities.

Herbert Ell. Asquith, former premier,
Is often mentioned as possible addi'
tion to the present cabinet. The Man
chester Guardian points out that ii this
happens Lloyd George will have two
former prime ministers among his SUBJ
Ordinates. There is no former instance
of this state of things in modern his
tory, and it is a long time now since an
English government contained in
secondary place even one former pre-
mier.
The classical case occurred about the
middle of last century, and is furnish
ed by the game of see-saw which was
played by Lord John Russell and Lord
PalmerstOn. In the government of
1862 Lord John Russell was prime
minister and Lord Palmerston foreign
secretary, and in the government OF
1896 their two positions were ex-
actly reversed.
It was Lord John Russelrs excep-
tiOnal fate to be prime minister from
the age of fifty-four till that of sixty,
to be in and out of subordinate office,
under Lord Aberdeen and then under
Lord Palmerston, from sixty to seven
ty-three, and at that age co be prime
minister again.
IL Lloyd George gets Mr.. Asquith as
well as Mr.. Balfour he will have all the
living former premiers except one, the
exception being Lord ROsebery, whose
period of office-15 mOnths-was so
short as to compare with the mete-
oric premiership of the age of Can
ming.

Truce Stops New War Plants.

Milwaukee, Nov. 13-Milwaukee Oc-
cupieS an enviable position in view of
the ending of the great war. While a
great many of the industries of the
Milwaukee district have been working
100 per cent on war work, in all but
two instances this work has been in
line with their regular production. AS
q result there will be little financial
loss in the return to peace conditions.
The two plants which have been pecu-
liarly "war babies are the Briggs
loading plant on the upper river, or
ganized as a subsidiary of the Briggs
StrattOn company, and the Wisconsin
Gun company, organized with govern
ment aid by leading Milwaukee cap
tainS of industry to turn out the
French 20 nm. field gun for the Amer
lean expeditionary forces. Work on
new plants in process of construction
Will probably be stopped at once Oh
else the proposed plants will be con-
verified to other uses. This was fore
Swallowed by the suspending of work
on the new T. n. X. plant in process of
construction near the Milwaukee cOun-
ty line. This plant was to manufacture

run short.

FLASH LIGHTS IN UNISON
ing as to When to Begin
an illumination.

Various observers testify to the fact
that myriads of glow worms very Oc-
caSionally indulge in synchrOnOus flash
ing with very beautiful effect. 1t is
thought by some that this phenom-
enon is accidental, although in this
light some cases would seem incred-
ible.
John V. Purcell of Washington,
D. c., records that in the town of Co.
tabatO, island of Mindanao, p. L, few
years ago there were two trees about
the size Of apple trees and perhaps a
hundred yards apart, and every eve
ming these were filled with fireflies
which flashed in unison, first one tree
lighting up and then the other. There
must have been several thousand in
Sects in each tree, yet the synchronism
was so perfect that rarely or never
did single FREELY flash at the wrong
time.
''TO the best of my recollection the
illumination period lasted about two
or three seconds and the dark periods
perhaps twice that long. I can posi-
lively vOuch for the accuracy of the
foregoing, for it seemed so strange and
produced so beautiful an effect that I
thought it one of the most remarkable
things in the Philippines, and it made
deep impression on me-"

War Brings Peace to New York.

All is peace in New YOrk's toughest
district since the war. A year or so
ago any person who wandered through
the seas House" district, on First ave-
nue. from Seventeenth to Twenty-sec-
Ond street, at night usually came away
minus his watch and roll and with q
battered cOuntenance. Many were the
actual and alleged breaches of the
peace laid to the young manhood of
this section of the city. 1t ran the
gamut of everything from riot to muir
der. Today all this is changed. Since
the seas House" gang has donned the
khaki there is an air of refinement and
culture in the district Men neigh
bors meet on friendly terms and
clothes-line fights and feuds between
the women are only memories. Gone
is the old order of things material.
Fights have given way to celebrations
in honor of the lads from the district
