BELL-CASTING IN OLD JAPAN

The making of the bell in old Japan
was accompanied by great and solemn
rites. For months, sometimes for years,
the community had been contributing of
its bronze and copper ornaments and pre-
cious possessions. For many days before
the casting, there were prayers to deter
mine the auspicious moment at which to
begin, and to put all spiritual beings and
ministers of grace in a propitious mood.
Pilgrims came from all the surrounding
country, for the japanese of long ago loved
pilgrimage as much as do their descen-
dants today, and made of their act of
piety an opportunity to enjoy little fes-
tivity and see something of the great
world. On the appointed day, men gath
cred in their finest attire. Then the priests
appeared in rich ecclesiastical brocades
and the workmen, in robes beautiful and
sanctifed. With prayers and ceremony
the work reached its climax. The great
molds were prepared and the flaming,
molten mass, into which had gone so many
precious things, was poured out to assume
a form forever sacred. The excitement
of the people reached an almost uncon-
trollable pitch. The bell-casting was to
them what the dedication of cathedral
was to the believers of the Middle Ages.
Before their eyes and with their own CO.
operation, something intangibible and
divine assumed shape and tangibility.
Many went away to become heroes in
their villages because they had partici-
pated in the making of the great bell,
which became more precious and myster-
ious as time went on, and they passed on
to their children's children, even down to
this day, the souvenirs of the occasion, in
scribed with prayers by the presiding
priests-Asia Magazine.

for them. They have discovered the great
truth that we, as a nation, shall get back
to sound basis when we have asked our
selves-laborer, artisan, craftsman, farmer,
professional man and capitalist alike-not
what we can spend, if even moderate in
diligence in luxuries and leakage in waste
are granted, but avhat 4ve can SAGE and do
qs,fAout.
We can't continue to measure by what
we want rather than by what we need
and our great national weakness is that
each of us seems to believe he or she is
the exception to this rule. Let's face the
facts with full knowledge of their i'm
portance, but let's be happy about it
let's not go around with long face and
talk "crop failures" and "no work" for
that kind of propaganda never eased
credit strain. Of course, we cannot kid
ourselves into thinking there is crop
in much of the Ninth District and there
are thousands of good jobs filled right
now with capable men and women who
ARE NOT saving money. This is not a
case of "Don't spend money"-far from it,,
but it is a case of "Don't blow money
and invest some of what you save in Saw
ings Securities of the United States
Government.

INVEST IN GOVERNMENT SAVINGS
SECURITIES

When the present period of business de-
preston, postwar readjustment or what
ever you want to call it, struck the country
there were many residents of the Ninth
Federal Reserve District who found them
selves in pretty tight fix. No jobs, no
market for farm produce, no reduction in
living costs. This looked to be temporary
but it was mighty long temporary" and
thousands had to have financial aid. Many
were the schemes resorted to by men with
families to support in order to raise suf-
6cient funds to carry on until this "nor-
malcy" thing the speech-makers talked
about, should occur. But after man
had borrowed all he could and strained
his credit until it cried out with pain, he
got to the end of his rope. There was
lot of hardship and in some instances real
suffering. But there was sunshine in the
family which had put by part of its in
come each week or month in Government
Savings Securities, consisting of War Saw
ings Stamps, Thrift Stamps and Savings
Certificates. They had loaned this money
to Uncle Sam in the war period and that
same dependable old Uncle Sam had kept
it safe from theft or other loss until they
called for it. He didn't ask any questions
about what was to be done with the money
either just paid it, which by the way is
the best kind of "thank you" for loan.
During the past few years he has paid
back to savings investors in the Ninth
District over $2O,OOO,OO0.OO with interest
from the time the money was invested and
he is still doing it and will continue to do
it as long as you want him to. At the
same time he is selling Savings Securities
from IS cents to $1.0O Thrift Stamps up
to the $500 War Savings Stamp and SIS,
$500 and $1,000 Savings Certificates, to
hundreds of smart people in the Ninth
District who know good thing when they
see it. Those people have found that the
Treasury Department securities are all and
more than modest old Uncle Sam claimed

Toward the inner edge of the territory
of the Union are the worlds greatest dia-
mond mines where earth sufficient to fill
thousands of cars is screened yearly for
the sake of a peck or two of diamonds.
But the few handfuls of diamonds ex-
ported in 1913, the last year before the
World war, were worth more than fifty
million dollars and exceeded in value the
combined value of the many shiploads of
wool, ostrich feathers, hides and coal that
sailed away from South Africa the same
year.
Some 200 miles to the northeast of the
diamond country are the gold fields. In
their midst is the gold-built, wonder city
of johannesburg, metropolis of South
Africa. After the discovery of gold in
the eighties the city sprang up almost
over night. Though at first it was the
usual unlovely mining camp, soon sub
stantial structures were erected, and it
now ranks, with its well paved streets,
fine buildings, and beautiful parks, with
the leading cities of Europe, America and
Australia. 1t has about the same popula-
ton as Denver, Colorado, and Providence,

WHAT'S THE SENATE QUORUM?

Senator Walsh of Montana raised the
question the other day in the senate; what
constitutes quorum of the senate. The
occasion was this: Senator Wolcott of
Delaware had resigned, his successor had
not been appointed, and the president of
the senate ruled that as the senate con-
sited of but IS members, 4S constituted
majority (quorum). Senator Walsh argued
that the decision was in violation of the
Constitution, which provided that ma
jority was more than half of senate of
full strength. Senator Lodge of Massa-
chusetts, after considerable debating, pro-
duced the action of the senate on October
II, 1898:
"Mr. Wolcott raised question of order,
viz, that under the fifth section of Article
I of the Constitution, it required ma
jority of all the senators to which the
several states are entitled to constitute a
quorum, and therefore the number present
should be As. The vice-president (Mr.
Stevenson) overruled the question of
order, stating that in his decision he
would be governed by the rule, viz, Rule
III, clause 2, which provides that "a
quorum shall consist of majority of the
senator's duly chosen and sworn" An ap-
peal from this, decision was laid on the
table-yeas SO, nays S."
Senator Walsh still held that the rule
was violation of the Constitution, and
that the rule should be changed.-Ex.

SOUTH AFRICA

ne Union or SOuth Africa recently
attracted world attention by a negative
vote on the proposal to secede from the
British empire. 1t should not be a strange
country to Americans.
With its vast areas taken over from
aborigines; with thousands of its white
settlers massacred by savages, but with
others, undaunted, pressing on in their
prairie schooners ever farther into the in
terror of an unknown continent; with a
gold rush winning new empire; and
possessed today of stubborn race prob
lem, South Africa, half way around the
world from US, MAS in its history, chap
tiers which we knew by heart New York
ers can find an even closer if minor tie to
the residents of Cape Town in the fact
that the sites of both ports, now almost
priceless, were bought from savage land
lords for few handfuls of gaudy trim
kets.
In one respect, however, the carving out
of what is now the Union of South Africa
is without its parallel in the development
of the United States. In South Africa the
strife of two white peoples for control has
been an all important factor. For about
century and half the Dutch had pos
session of Cape Town and the small area
surrounding it which harbored all the
whites in South Africa. The Napoleonic
wars transferred possession to England,
and in 1906 the English assumed final
control which many of the Dutch inhabi-
tahts resented. In 1886 many of the
Dutch farmers or "boers" began trekking
into the interior with the intention of set
Ting beyond English influence. When
Englishmen followed them they trekked
farther. Finally, beyond the Orange river
they founded the Orange free state, and
beyond the Vaal river, the Transvaal re-
public.
First diamonds and then gold wereA dis
covered in the new states. They brought
great prosperity to the Boer republic, but
they brought many outsiders as well; and
the presence of these finally led to the
Boer war as a result of which the repub-
lie came in the possession of Great Britain.
Aside from the war-torn republics and
monarchies of the last few years, the
Union of South Africa is one Of the
important countries of the world.
The territory of the Union occupies
the whole southern and southeastern tip of
Africa in wide strip extending about
ESQ miles inland from the Indian ocean.
Its area lacks only $4,000 square miles of
reaching the half million mark.

Q-Have many inventions been made
by negroes?-J. M.
A-Investigations at U. S. patent office
shows that upward of 400 patents have
been taken out by known negroes. The
device used recently in establishing new
record in deep-sea diving was the inven-
ton of negro mechanic.
Q-Are there any wild tribes of In
dians at present in United States ?-I. E.
A-There are none. The Indians, like
the whites, are engaged in agriculture and
business of various kinds. The Seminoles
of Florida do not live on a government
reservation and have no treaty of agree
ment with the government. but they are
peaceful.
Q:-What is the meaning of syndical-
m?-J. M.
A-Syndicalism is a form of collec-
tivsm or unionism which advocates con-
centration in hands of the workers of each
industry of its own instruments of produc-
ton. 1t had its inception in France and
derives its name from the French trade
unions, or "syndicates." 1t differs from
socialism in that it favors "direct action"
including sabotage, instead of political
action. The l. w. w. organization is a
form of syndicalism.
.O:-What is the capital of Alaskan
A:-Juneau is and has been the capital

previous to its purchase.
Q:-Does the Vice-President of the U.
S., as presiding officer of the senate, have

A:-Constitution provides that "the
vice-president of the United States shall
be president of the senate but shall have
no vote unless they be equally divided"
Consequently the vice-president votes
only in case of tie.
