The princes constant attendant is

position, because he ia responsible for
Prince Hirochito's welfare during his
tour According TO old-time Japanese
traditions, il would be Viscount
Chinda's duty to commit hara-kiri
should any misfortune befail his

AT the close Of the Lord Msvor's

Hirohito, nevertheless, promptly rose

The two-platoon system requires
fremen to work an average of twelve

so arranges their time that once we i.
they are off duty for twenty-four

Of the Fire Department would have
ben assured, it was pointed out, that
the system would not be abolished by
some new city administration.
