JAP GOVERNOR IN
KOREA ASKS PEACE
JAPAN URGED TO RE FAIR AND
NOT ABUSE HER
STRENGTH

SEOUL, Korea, Oct. Admiral
Baron Saito the new governor of
Korea appeals, in an interview in
the Seoul Press, to Japanese and
Koreans alike to cooperate and
preserve brotherly relations" in de-
.veloping the of the penin-
sula.
1T is especially to be hoped that
Korean leaders will pay great atten-
ton to this" the baron said. "We
must learn from the Americans in
this respect. If we are Industrious
enough we may convert even the
barren land into a fertile one"
To emphasize this suggestion the
baron described the rapid develop
ment of the siron industry in the
United States attributing this in
part to the enterprise of Ameri-
cans.
Pointing out that the present is
a period of the greatest moment in
the destiny of the Japanese empire,
the baron said, Japan as one of the
great powers stood in a position
where even her minor actions would
affect the general situation of the
world the responsibility of the
Japanese people had become heavier
than ever
To fulfill this responsibility, es-
pecially to promote the civilization,
peace, and welfare of the far east,
he said the Japanese must always
keep in touch with the progress OF
the world and exert themselves to
the utmost to make themselves
stronger. In all national dealings
the strength of a nation gave weight
to it's claims, he declared, and fol-
that reason every Japanese must put
forth his greatest efforts for the de.
velopment of the national resources
and to increase the national
strength.
Japan, however, he said. must be-
ware of abusing what strength II
has. A civilized people. he declared,
should behave with fairness and

TEUTONS PLACE HEAVY
TAXES ON LUxUR|ts
TURNOVER TAX RANGES FROM
ONE TO FIFTEEN PER
CENT

BERLIN, Oct. None of the
new German tax measures is more
stringent and all-inclusive than the
turnover tax, especially that part of
it relating to luxuries. Virtually
everything imaginable beyond the
veriest necessities for the house
hold are taxed all the way from l
to Is per cent, at the store where
they r bought.
There are 10 categories Of lux
uries, IL of which come under the
Is per cent clause.
The taxes will vary in severity ac-
cording to the price of the articles
purchased, since in this way the
government hopes to put the great
est burden on the wealthy.
The taxes will be collected in two
ways. Where it is possible, the
seller will add the tax to the price
of the article and turn it in to the
government. In the case of articles
manufactured in one place and sold
by retail everywhere, the retail
dealers will collect the tax.
The government reckons that the
turnover tax will total $500. OOO.O 600
marks. This sum must be reduced
by one-tenth, to four billions, to
take account of the territories ceded
to the entente.

TATTOOING BOOM FOR LONDON

LONDON, Oct. 3.-There has
been a boom in tattooing in London
since the armistice. The prize
winning design was submitted by a
discharged soldier who asked to
have the names of all the battles he
had participated in indelibly writ
ten on his arm. 1t was a rather
long job, for he had been through
the war from the start-in 1914.
In Thames court recently a man
appeared with his head. quite bar
rem of hair. covered with tattooed
butterflies, stars, etc.

ency, he would start a~nalyzing all
of the factors entering into his
costs. If he should discover that
for every dollar of increased expen-
diture only 1.3 cents was due to
the increased transportation cost of
his business, it is likely that he
should spend less time trying to
correct that situation than he would
in figuring how to cut down the
1871 cents increase coming from
other factors.
In dabbling with the housing
problem of the nation, the govern
ment agencies determined a number
of things in connection with this
undramatic phase of human exist
ence. For instance, how aspiration
%out-travels the purse is shown by
the popularity of housing that the
supply is usually adequate or ahead
of that required by the higher in
come earning classes; while ON the
other hand, the lower income earn
ing classes usually find a very linn
tied supply to meet their modest de-
mands. One hundred million dol
lars was voted by congress in the
summer of 1918 for housing work.
Owing to the close of the war the
sum vas not all spent. Under the
government building plan SO per
cent of the workers lin "a 1ocali-
ties) were provided with individual
houses, and the report says that
assuming that a workers family
represents on the average at least
four persons, the cost per family
may be roughly set down as a trifle
over $4,000" 1t would be interest
ing to know how this cost compares
with that obtained by private cor
porations who have built equally
comfortable living places for en-
ployes, at presumably far less cost.
If, however, the most modest home
that the American workman can
build, now costs over $4,000. the fig
ures themselves doubtless furnish
the best reason that exists for the
universal shortage Of houses
throughout the country. For, it
may be observed, four-thousand dol
lar bills do not grow on every bush!
And the alternative of buying the
kind of houses that are made and
shipped by parcel post or freight
J while you wait; or accepting the
other horn of the dilemma by sub
uniting to the wringer of frenzied
finance, turned by loan companies
that seek to mortgage the present
generation and the next, contains
very little that is alluring or fascin-
ating to the a and woman who
have the pardonable ambition to
possess a home of their own.
After an exhaustive investigation
by government departments and bu-
reaus the conclusion has been
reached that the people of the coun-
try are not favorable to the nation
alization of home building, even as
it was carried out by the govern
ment in war time. 1t is a form of
socialism that comes so close to the
individual that it is Objectionable.
TRY that sort of stuff on the dog"
is the attitude of Mr.. Average Man
and Wife.

nounces that it has collected a lot
Of valuable information, which it
believes can be utilized to the adj
vantage of local employers, cham
Ibers of commerce, and other agen-
cies, including individuals.
There has been an ever-increasing
shortage of housing accommodations
throughout the country since 1913,
and the number of good people who
have no castles of their own, and
who are at the same time experience
ing hard-sledding in securing proper
quarters by the rent-processes, is
constantly increasing.
The United States housing cor
poration in its report to congress
says that "it might be well for our
country to turn its eye to what u
allies are doing on the other side
and perhaps learn a lesson that may
be of importance in promoting a
conened citizenship in these United
States" And with these words of
advice the homeless are left with
the Jobs comforter that their lot
is no worse than that of their
brother man, here at home and
across the seas.
Uncle Joe Cannon believes in
practical regulation of cold storage,
and he told his fellow members
of congress that he wanted the law
SO fixed that when it said spring
chicken on the dining car menu he
would know which spring was re-
ferred to, whether it vas this spring
or last spring"
Representative King of Illinois,
told the house that he believed that
from three to five per cent of the
membership of congress suffered
constantly from ptomaine poisoning
caused from eating cold-storage
food, "and if the truth Q
known" he added, "it would be
found that the president of the
United States. on his long triR to
the Pacific coast, was served with
cold-storage food, SO that he is now
suffering from nothing else than
ptomaine poisoning"
Hoarding and p~rofiteering are
charged up to the cold storage sys
tenn, but in defense of the practice
it is pointed out that the govern
ment itself is right now disposing of
thousands of carloads Of food that
were held in cold storage for the
army and navy.
And so, congress, weighing the
ifs and ands of the storage problem
has decided in its favor, but is in
tent on maintaining stiff. rules and
bylaws in order that the thing may
be done right.
Careful students agree that the
industrial disputes are not upset

ment.
Secretary of Commerce Redfield
says that organized labor is losing
the sympathy of the general pub
lic." He explains that organized

of a sort of postwar economic crisis
to increase their power over the

when all elements should be moder-
ate and pull together for the ma
tional we'll being"

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. s.,
The recently expressed theory that
increased freight rates have played
an importaont part in advancing the
cost of living has been sharply
answered by Julius Kruttsehnitt.
president of the Southern Pacific
company, in a letter to Representa-
tive John j. Esch, chairman of the
h. use eo.3npnee on interstate an!
foreign commerce.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt has drawn w
figures based upon Bradstreet's re-
ports and the interstate commerce
commissions railway reports. which
show the total value on all goods
transported by railway. the average
value per ton of these goods, the
freight charges per ton, and the re-
lation of these freight charges to
the cost of the goods themselves.
The average value per tor of all
freight transported by the American
railways in 1914 was $50; in 1919
it had risen to $119, an increase to
the amounting to $63 a
ton. The freight charge e ton in
1914 was 81, and under the rate in
crcases put into eject by the d.
rector general of railroads these
freight charges per ton have in
creased 40 per cent since 1911, maxi
ing the 1919 average freight charge
$2.So Fer ton.
In other words, whereas in 1914
freight charges were SO per cent
of the total value, they did not in
crease during the ensuing five
years nearly as fast as did the
value of the goods themselves, SO
that the present percentage is only
Thus it is seen that. whereas the
freight transported has cos. the
500 per ton more than
in 1914. the freight charges paid
on it amount to only so cents per
ton more, or, to express it in more
graphic terms, only lone and one
third cents out of every dollar of in.
crease in value Of commodities was
caused by increased freight charges.
The responsibility for the remain
ing 9S.7 cents out of every dollar
must be sought elsewhere; it was
not caused by freight charges.
Figures published several months
g showed clearly that the cost of
living had already increased enorm-
ously before there was any increase
in freight rates. Comparison of the
Dun and Bradstreet reports showed
further that when the freight rate
increases were granted the upward
tendency in the cost Of living, in
stead of being increased still fur
Their, actually became a little less
marked. The purpose of those fig
ures jas we'll as the present figures
presented by Mr.. Kruttschnitt, is
not to attempt to prove that rail-
way rates have nothing whatever
to do with the cost of living, but
that the actual cost of transporta-
ton is but a fractional part of the
living cost.
If a merchant should observe
that his costs had more than
doubled this year as compared with
an earlier year, and he should set
about finding out what was wrong,
with a view to correcting this tend

SAINTS BODY intact
ExHUMED FOR SECOND TIME IN
80 YEARS, REMAINS OF BERNAR-
DETTE OF LoURDEs FOUND IN
CORRUPT.

The Secretary Of the Soldiers
Lourdes Pilgrimage Fund, which was
inaugurated by the London Universe,
makes an extremely interesting state
ment from Lourdes:
In connection with the process of
her canonization, Bernardette's body
was eXhumed last month for the sec
ond time. Bernardette Soubirous, in
religion Soeur Marie Bernard, died
in April, 1879, at the Mother House
of the Sisters of Charity and Chris
tan instruction at Nevers, and the
nuns obtained permission from the
Pope to have her buried there instead
of being taken to Lourdes. A chapel
was built over her tomb in the
grounds of the Convent, and many
temporal and spiritual favors have
been obtained through her interces-
sion since her death.
THE first exhumation of her body
took place in September, 1908, when
it was found to be perfectly intact,
as though she had been dead only a.
few hours instead of nearly thirty
years And now again, after another
ten years in the grave, the body re-
mains incorrupt."

GIVE THEM A JOB
dedicated to Knights or Columbus
Employment Service.)

We've given them flowers, we've given
them cheers,
Smiles most joyous and tenderest
tears,
We've welcomed them back with gilt
ter and show,
Voices thrilling and eye aglow
We've called them heroes: they've
grinned at that,
Blushing a bit meath the old tin hat,
AS, day after day, we've swelled the
strain
Of pride for valor, and pity for pain,
And who will wonder they found it
sweet
After their labor such love to meet?
But now that's past. Are you proud
Of them still?
Then find them place that man
may fill.
This hero stuff isn't going to last.
The war is over; the past is. past.
And here they stand in our crowded
ways,
Asking for neither our pity nor praise,
With medaled breast and with laureled
brow,
But men-just men. And they seek a
place
In the daily toll and the daily race.
Just this-no more. Neither cheer
nor sob,
But the chance at living that goes
with a job!
So give them a job. For the job
they've had
Was a man's-sized job. And the
youngest lad
That knew the horrOrs-the struggle,
the stencil,
The wounds and death of field and
trench
Is a boy no more He must hence
forth plan
And look on life with the eyes of a
man,
Tried as by fire, and found to be true,
And he's not begging from me or from
you.
No, they're not looking for easy snaps,
These straight and sun-browned SOL
der chaps,
But they, over there, have given the
best
That their lives were worth, that their
souls possessed.
And now that the cheers and the
songs die out,
Don't leave them looking and loafng
about!
You liked the way that the work was
done,
Of putting the Rhine between you
and the Hun?
Then take the fellows who turned
that trick,
Who ended the war and ended it
quick,
And give them, leather-neck, dough.

The Knights of Columbus are dis

Long before the war had come to a
satisfactory conclusion, the Knights

training. First-hand contact with
men on the fighting fields and in the
camps and hospitals had given them
what no long-ranged or theoretic
vision could do, practical knowledge
of what the boys wanted and Of what
society should want for them.
The Knights are attending to this
job of translating. In New York
city they have opened up one of the
most remarkable schools in this
country. 1t is large room in store
