BACCHANAllAN JAPAN

There have been many pictures re- gently in the papars of the bacchanals at Uyeno enjoying the cherry blossoms. The cheery viewing people are gone crazy. The country visitors to the town have increased this year by 50 per cent. Owing to the high prices of rice the country Aeople are very pros porous. The income of the farmers has considerably increased. The common people are more interested in the cher ry viewing than in the war that is go- ing on in the west. They buy the news papers but they do not read the war telegrams. The war is too far away. They prefer to read old tales and city gossip. Recently manager of a news paper stated that in Osaka the news paper readers turn first to the money market news. Even apprentice boys look first to this part of the paper New East (Tokio).

MITCHELL MUSICAL COMEDY
 MAKES HIT IN SAN FRANC|SC0

Up in the Air" a musical comedy from the book of the same name writ ten by Waldo c. Twitchell, nephew of w. B. Twitchell of Phoenix, at it's first presentation, before a San Fran cisco audience few days ago, made a decided hit and received the praise of the critics.
 Waldo Twitchell is now captain in thte 672d Aero Squadron, and is well qualified to handle the technical de- tails at times occurring in the story. The book was started by MT. Twitchell some two years ago when he was still in civil life, and was finished about six months ago, in that time MT. Twitchell having attained the rank of captain in the aviation branch.
 The San Francisco Chronicle says:

 He never before realized. said Mr. frleoman. how much he thought of The Republican which he received regularly every day. He awaited it not only for the local news but for the news of the war. The city papers, he said printed such wild stories of the war and with such exaggerated headlines that he could not believe them until they had been confirmed by the conservative Republican. And he ascertained that much of the stuff they printed under scare heads was without foundation.

SlLENClNG 75-MILE GUNS

The fact that there was a long in- remission in the bombardment of Paris by the 75-mile guns would seem to es- tablish the claim of the French gunners that they succeeded in putting these guns out of commission. If so. the feat was probably accomplished by some of the heaviest long range artillery of the French directed by aerial observation, If the 15 or 2O-inch French gun was used, it would not need direct hit on the gun itself to put the piece out of commission; one of these shells, land ing on the concrete emplacement, would have sufficient explosive energy to overturn both gun and mount-Scien- tific American.

GASOLINE SHORTAGE
 IN EASTERN STATES
 CURTA|LS AUTO USE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The fuel administration today called upon the public in states east of the Mississippi river to cease the using of all classes of automobiles, with few named eXcep- tons, motorcycles and motorboats on Sundays until further notice as a gaso- line conservation measure. Only volun- tary compliance with the letter and spirit of the request will prevent the issuance of a mandatory order prohib- iting the use of gasoline on Sundays, 1t was declared at the fuel administra- tion. Automobiles for hire are included in the curtailment program.
 Motor vehicles to which the restric~ tions do not apply were announced as follows:
 Vehicles That Are Exempted
 Tractors and motor trucks employed in actual transportation of freight.
 Vehicles used in performance of pro- fessional duties.
 patrol wagons, undertakers' wagons, and conveyances used for funerals.
 Railway equipment using gasoline.
 Repair outfits employed by telephone and public service companies.
 Motor vehicles on errands of neces- sity in rural communities where trans portation by steam or electricity is not available.
 The action was taken by the fuel ad- mlnistration, it was stated, to meet a threatened shortage of gasoline for shipment overseas, created by in creased domestic demands and eXten- slve military operations in France.

RAT IS FRIEND OF MINERS

Investigators of mining conditions

miners are subjected recently have
taken much interest in the practice

mines. On the mother lode of Cali
fornia it has been found that the
miners invariably feed the rats and
take care of them, believing that the
rodents are Il source of protection

instinct of the rats, which warns them
when Il tunnel is unsafe. And when
the rats leave IL tunnel it is almost i'm
possible to get the miners to work
there. This recalls the belief among
sailors that rats will leave doomed
ship. The miners also have found that
rats are much more susceptible than
humans to the dangerous gases that
so often cause loss of life in the mines.
Long before the miners themselves are
affected by these gases the rats be
