Japan Will Make Big
Salary Raises to Meet
Increase Living Cost
By Associated Press.

Toxic, Sept. 1.-THE astounding
increase in the cost OF living continues
to affect all aspects of life, and is
generally attributed to the overwhelm-
ing excess of exports. The govern
ment has decided to meet the grave
economic problem by increasing all
salaries so per cent and private EN-
ployers are following the govern
ments lead.
The government has inaugurated a
far reaching investigation into econo-
mic, labor and social problems Hav-
ing adopted all practical measures of
relief the impression generally is that
the cabinet will soon resign and this
is expected further to relieve the in
ternal situation. .... --....,
Representative leaders and the con-

belief that Japan, affected by the cur
rent of world thought, has entered

masses of the people are beginning to

selected and assembled from over
$4,000 feet of film, made under orders
from General Pershing and photo

by General Pershing and has his ap-

statement that it comprehensive

The picture will show the embarka-

by the navy. 1t will show the enor-

Benefits Described.
The passage Of the Lewis-Raker
bill would have two effects, accord
ing to Mr.. Reavis, both of them bene-
fetal to hospital conditions in France.
In the first place it would encourage
the enlistment of more nurses, and
in the second place it would give the
nurse greater authority to enforce her
commands over the orderlies and at
PENDANTS who assist her in the hos
pital.
Il was impressed" he said, with
the very apparent necessity for more
nurses to relieve those now in charge.
If additional nurses are required when
comparatively few soldiers are en-
gagged, it is easy to forecast much
greater additional need next spring
when there will be a million and
half men in the front line. If the
Lewis-Raker bill will encourage the
enlistment of nurses, as I believe it
will, and will give nurses greater au-
thority to enforce their command
over orderlies and attendants who as
sist them, it should be passed without
delayH
The provisions of the bill men,
toned by Mr.. Reavis, which is now
before both houses, are that ward
nurses shall be made second lieuten-
ants, chief nurses first lieutenants,
and the few nurses occupying posi-
lions higher up" captain and major
Only one nurse, the superintendent
of the army nurse corps, would oc-
cupy this last position.
Authority Limited.
The rank given by the bill is rela-
tive. which means that no increase
of pay is involved. no commission,
and only limited authority. The
nurse is permitted to give orders only
within the line of her hospital duties,
and in them, she is subordinated to
the DOCTOR.
Other congressman, whose inspec-
ton of military hospitals in France
and England has given them the OPP
portunity to observe the work done
by army nurses, uphold Mr.. Reavis
in demanding for them a place of
dignity and authority in the military
establishment. Their contribution to

4soME" AS AN ADJECTIVE
Popular American Slang Has Attached
Wealth Of Meaning to
the Word.

The American habit of coming new
meanings for words already known is
closely allied to that of coming words,
writes G. Jefferson Weber in the North
American Review. Take, for example,
the current slang use of that much
used word s'some" What a wealth of
meaning and insinuation the Ameri-
can has invented for the wordI
"Some" as an adverb may be heard
in many places. For Instance, In the
Teign valley district of Devon, the ma
tives may say, 'It did rain yum yes
terday." But the American would use
the word as an adjective and say,
'aThat was some rain yesterday" TITS
use is hard to define. In the middle
of the last century 'some," meaning
considerable, or notable, was called "a
modern slang word" Today "some'
is almost limitless In its capacity for
application. 1t implies approval, en-
thusiasm, sarcasm, wonder, admira-
ton, disgust-or amusement.
The seeds may have been sown IN
CORNWALL, in Devon or in Lancashire
hut seriously doubt If native of any
OF these counties would ever say en-.
Enthusiastically, "We had some fun last
night" or sarcastically, "This is some
book!" Another word to which Ameri-
cans have given a new meaning is the
verb "raise." In England, men raise
crops; In America, they also raise chill.

CHINA LOSING TRADE IN TEA
General Opinion That Scientific Guilt

China's tea trade is not keeping pace
with the worlds consumption Of tea.
Scientific cultivation instead Of old
time methods and the use Of machin-
cry are being used in the effort to
regain the lost commercial ground.
The ministry of agriculture has estab>

grown on 1T was sent to market this
year. 1t is said to have been Of good
quality, but no details are yet avail,
able OF the equipment and methods
employed. Foreign tea men seem to
have little faith In the results Of this
attempted reform and consider 1t un-
likely that Chinese teas win ever re-
gain the leading place in the markets
OF the world. It is said that Chinese
teas have less tannin than other teas,
and that the finer grades are unsur-
passed In delicacy of flavor; but the
average tea drinker seems to find the
teas Of India and Ceylon satisfactory.

A Little Marion County Girl Killed in
Jacksonville

Elizabeth DIN, fve-year-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. A. DIN, of
2316 Boulevard. was fatally injured
yesterday morning when she slipped
beneath the wheels of a motor NOV
ing van of Delcher Brothers, and
died few minutes later in st. Luke's
hospital. The child's head and body
were crushed. Henry Simmons, ne
gro, driver of the truck. was placed
under bond after reporting the acct
dent to the office of Sheriff w. II.
Bowling.
According to several who saw the
accident, the DIN child. with several
other children was hanging to the
tailboard of the truck as it was back
ing out of heavy sand. She is thought
to have lost her hold, slipping to the
ground and being knocked down by
the machine. The truck is said to
have been stalled in heavy sand and
Simmons and another negro had plac-
ed boards under the rear wheels to
give them traction The children had
been playing around the machine for
some time. according to people who
were on porches in the neighborhood,
and when the truck finally started,
several of them hung to the rear to
"get ride"
Witnesses stated that the screams
of the negro Simmons first attracted
their attention after the accident, and
when they reached the scene he was
holding the injured child in his arms.
He declared he was unable to know
that the children were hanging to
the truck. and that the first he knew
of the accident was when he heard the
little girl scream. Stopping the truck
he said he jumped to the ground and
found that both the rear and front
wheels had passed over her body

Elizabeth was the daughter of Mr..
and Mr.. Arthur Olin. who up to a
short time ago made their home at

be laid to rest in the Kendrick ceme-
terry. The many friends of Mr. and
Mrs. Olin sincerely sympathize with
them in their great sorrow.
