YOUNG PRINCE
is A MODERN

Washington, Nov. 25-(By A. P.)
Official notification of the appoint
ment of the crown prince of Japan
to the regency was received today
by the Japanese delegation to the
Washington conference from the
minister for foreign affairs at Toxic.
The announcement from Toxic Of the
regency of Crown Prince Hirohito
was expected in Japanese circles
here as his recent tour to Europe
generally was understood to have
been the first step in the court ar
rangement to give him the conduct
of the empire because of the con-
tinued illness Of the emperor. This
tour was arranged in order that the
young crown prince might have an
opportunity to study foreign lands
and foreign customs.
Representative japanese today
emphasized how much this visit to
western countries had meant for
Japan. 1t was recalled that when
the crown prince returned to Toxic
he made a memorable speech I'm
which he frankly admitted that
Japan had much to learn from west
ern countries. The regent who u
20 years old. has already abandoned
the ancient idea Of imperial aioof-

African Woman in Subsection

Woman is still the inferior sex In
Africa. Man still makes her the
beast of burden, the salable chattel,
and treats her like an ignorant and
recalcitrant child. With the Yorubas
on the Slave Coast. mans chief oc-
cupation seems to be to direct and
impress women. Among other things.

How Silk Came Into World Use.

Nearly 1889 years ago, to be exact
"a 14-ycar-old Chinese Empress
named Sizing Chi observed a little
worm busily spinning fibre on the
leaves of a white mulberry tree.
After she had watched this fascinat-
ing process until her curiosity was
satisfied she began TO gather up and
reel the fibre.
Soon she made demonstration tc
the ladies Of her court and interested
them in this new and absorbing
amusement. Together the Empress
and her court ladies busted them
selves with the task of weaving this
fibre into fabrics and embroidering
with it. The results delighted them.
So far the Emperor looked upon
this absorbing hobby of his little
consort with tolerant amusement. To
him and to the wise men of his court
it was only a pretty game for foolish
women.
But one day he was startled out OF
his Indifference when Sizing Gil
presented him with a beautiful cere-
worms fibre. a garment of such
dazzling sheen had never before been
seen at the court of China. and from
then on it became the fashion for all
members of the court to wear clothes
made of this wonderful new fabric.
In this way the wearing of silk be-
came the fashion throughout all
China. The culture of silk became a
national industry. China grew rich
through the export of silken fabrics
to India. Persia, Arabia and other
parts of Asia.
So valuable was the industry to
China that it preserved the secret OF
silk culture with jealous care, and
death was the, penalty decreed for
anybody found taking or sending out
of China the silk worm. it's eggs or
the seed of the white mulberry tree
And for centuries neighboring coun-
tries sought vainly to obtain from
China the secret of silk.
About $50 B. c.. however, there
came into China a prince Of India who
won the love of Chinese princess
Together they eloped into India, and
the princess, in order that she might
be able to enjoy her familiar occupa-
ton in her new home. carried with
her some silk worm eggs and seeds OF
the white mulberry tree. She SNUG
gled them through by concealing them
in her sandals.

pacity three times the present size
can readily be accommodated.
1t is predicted by many American
engineers that soon all the railroads
OF Chile will be electrified as the
abundance OF water power together
with the drawback Of high fuel pric-
es makes the electric line cheaper
and better proposition.
This contract represents the third
large order for electric Railway
supplies received by the Westing-
house Company from foreign coun-
tries, the others being obtained from
France and Japan.
Other American concerns who re-
ceived contracts for the requirements
OF. the Chilean Railroad are the AM
erican Locomotive Company. the
Pressed Steel Car Company and the
Anaconda Copper Mining Company.
The Errazuriz, Simpson Company of
Chile will build the overhead con-
struction.
One factor in the securing of the
contract may be of interest to all
Americans. This is that Germany
and other European countries were
keenly competing with the United
States cntrant, and the award was
plete and correct engineering analy-
sis of the proposition presented as
well as an attractive price.

American Fire Losses
Greater Than European

When Americas fire losses are
compared with those of European
countries the contrast is not flatter-
ing to the United States. No late
foreign statistics are available, but q
comparison on the basis of the old
figures is still a fair one. In 1913 the
per capita fire loss in this country
was $40. as against 40 cents In
France, SO cents in England, % cents
| in Germany, 2b cents in Austria, 25
cents in Italy, Is cents in Switzerland
and only IL cents in Holland. This
indicates that we burn up our prop
erty nearly twenty times as rapidly as
the people of Holland and more than
four times as rapidly as the French.
The fundamental reason for this
! contrast, according to A. K. Taylor,
writing for the Department of the In
terror. is in the matter of tempera-
! mcnt. Europeans. he says, are natur-
ally more careful than Americans
i and in many of the Continental coun-
tries fire is made an individual liabil
! ity and those who are responsible for
such destruction must answer to the
authorities.
Under the Code Napoleon" he con-
tinues, which prevails in France and
Belgium, landlord and tenant are
! alike responsible for fire. In France

statute would seem too drastic: yot
