JAPAN TEENS
WITH PEOPLE
Vital Problem Is to Provide
For Population S Rapid
Increase.
BY X. 8. INUI,

Department OF Political Science.
University of Southern California }
How will Japan solve her vital
question of increasing population,
which Is estimated at 100000 per
year? Will it be peaceful or i'm
perialistic?
The area Of Japan is about that
of California Twenty-Five per cent
IL tillable. But only 16 per cent Is
under actual cultivation. Therefore
% per cent still awaits the plow.
A part Of the population question
can be met by careful and equal
distribution of her people. 1t is
said that Formosa, Hokkaido, Korea
and Saghalien all can feed many
more millions.
Continental people figure out the
necessity for land by the scarcity
OF land alone. However, the water
area from which the Japanese peo-
pie derive their income is quite i'm
portant Under-sea gardening Is
no figure of speech. Roughly speak
ing an average japanese produces
annually about SO per capita from
this source.
Again. being an island nation, she
Is destined to become a carrying
hohiohs AT present 4UU,UUU sailors
are supporting approximately e,00O,-
600 souls of the nation, to say notn-
ing OF those who are deriving their
livelihood from the same source on
land.
History tells US that the nation
that has the largest increase of
population is usually an agricultu-
raj nation. Such has been tne case
with Japan to this date. But she
is fast becoming an industrial ma
tion. Experiences tell us that the
higher a nation Is industrialized the
lower is the increase of population.
Already this Is showing in figures
in large cities OF Japan.
Thus 1t is far more advantageous
for Japan to send out merchants
who will, for example, take orders
enough to keep several hundred of
her people at home. than to en-
courage the emigration of a laborer
who can at best possibly feed and
clothe one family.

GLASS MAKING
'CRAFTLEARNED
U. S. Manufacturers Dis
cover German Trade
Secrets Since 1914.

Large telescope disks are now be-
ing. made in the United States. as
all mechanical difficulties have been
overcome. according to an an
nouncement today by DR.. George w.
Morey. of the American Chemical
Society.
This achievement is due to prep
aration of the ingredients required
for pure and fawless glass. and is
the result of experiments begun at
the outbreak Of the world war, un-
der the auspices of the Geophysical
Laboratory of the Carnegie Institu-
ton in Washington.
Before 1914 practically all the op-
tical glass in the United States was
imported from Germany. When the
United States entered the battle for
democracy her army and navy used
field glasses, range finders, teie-
scopes and other Instruments Of
precision the lenses of which we're
fashioned beyond the Rhine. Pri-
vate citizens even loaned or con-
tributed opera glasses and binocu-
lars to equip tho fighting forces
of the United States.
optical glasses OF fne quality,
however, are now TO be had on this
side of the water. The climax of
this achievement OF Industrial
chemistry has been reached by the
American makers In the panufac-
ture Of lenses for telescopes. At
first disks were made three or four
inches in diameter. Recently a spe-
cial ~ Inch lens was ground for
Lowell Observatory. at Flagstaff.
Ariz.
The first sh Inch disk was turned
out last December. Six others have
since been riade and delivered. AS
their diameters increase, disks are
made with greater difficulty. FL
nally, on February l5, 1920, the first
perfect .12-inch disk was furnished.
An electric furnace was specially
designed to meet the problem. This
device is thoroughly insulated and
provided with an automatic appli-
ance which will hold the tempera-
ture absolutely constant TO n frac-
ton of a degree while the glass Is
being treated to remove strain. The
temperature can be dropped q few
degreesNa week.

Bringing to the screen the same

articulate stage, Rupert Hughes, in

first time in Washington for the
chief feature of the weeks bill at
Crandalis Metropolitan Theater yes-
terday, has set a new style in cam

Offering is admirably supplemented
by an exceptional bill with Herbert
Kaufman's miniature masterpiece.
Content" a new issue of the Pathe

ries of Topics of the Day"
Scratch My Back" Is a genially
travestied film version of Rupert

which T. Roy Barnes, one of the
most able of the stages younger CO.

youthful star who displays unsus-
pected gifts as a comedienne, as
sumo the roles OF Val omaney, "tbe

with most Indifferent success. The
story which. with able assistance by

alize upon the silver sheet would be

converted his tale into a sparkling

Crandnli's - Wallace Reed I'm
sSThe Dancin' Fools

The humors and romance of the
jug business are made the basis OF
plot in ''The Dancin' Fool" his best
recent photoplay vehicle, in which
Wallace Reid was pictured as star
at Crandalls Theater yesterday. In
a role that makes the cabaret and
the gaNdier pursuits of metropolitan
life quite as important an element
in the development OF the narrative
as the more prosaic manufacture of
earthenware receptacles for various
degrees of alcoholic content. Bebe
Daniels affords the star exceptional
ly interesting support.
"The Dancin' Fool" Is a picture
in which are combined most of the
attributes of unequivocal popular
success: spirited action, unctious
humor, a romantic denouement and
extraordinarily well-etched charac-
ter studies. Leading the cast filmed
in support of Mr.. Reid and Miss
Daniels is Tully Marshall, who is
achieving an~unusual reputation as
a character actor in roles that a
few years ago were not looked upon
as in any way his forte.
Supplementing THE Dancin' Fool"
and assuming almost the rank of
companion feature on the bill is
shown. for the first time in the Cap
ital. the new Sunshine comedy,
Monkey Business" in which seem
to have been concentrated all of the
laugh-provoking qualities of which
the Fox studios are capable. Yes
terday's crowds were kept in con-
tinuous shrieks of merriment by the
absurd developments in which this
effervescent farce abounds.
Abbreviated camera subjects and
excellent musical investiture round
ed out a bill of conspicuous merit
which will be continued through
Tuesday only.

Glen Echo Park.

Threatening showers yesterday
failed to diminish appreciably the
attendance at Glen Echo Park.
One of the chief attractions was the
series of concerts by Minister'S band.
Many other entertainments were
given.
The gravity. with its speeding
cars that race up and down pre-
cipitous inclines. and the racing
derby with its two trains. There
were many who showed a marked
preference for the less thrilling
type of entertainment. and among
them the new water ride was a
favorite. Its dark, winding pas
sageways have an especial appeal
to the romantically inclined.
The dance pavilion was dark"
last night. as 1t always is on Sun
days, but tonight and on other week
nights the dancers will have moth
ing to complain Of. The maple floor
is in perfect condition and Mills
jazz experts will be on the job
every night at $3.50. There is never
any admission charged to the park.
