WEEKLY DAY OF
REST IN JAPAN
MAY BE ADOPTED

New York-Blue laws are hav-
fng their powerful opponents in
Japan as well as in the United
States, according to information re-
ceived by the Presbyterian board OF
foreign missions at the boards
headquarters, 156 Fifth avenue,
New York city. Advices received
by the board are that the Tokyo
chamber of commerce has formally
put itself on record by the adoption
of a resolution favoring the clos
ing of al shops on Sunday. Hereto
fore Sunday has been, as a rule,
wide open.
Following this action a commits
sion began study not only of the
Sunday problem, but also OF plans
for improving the hours of labor
through the week. The project calls
for a weekly rest day, shorter
hours and more considerate treat
ment of employees. This commits
sion designs to provide a weekly
rest day for all employees except in
hotels, eating houses and public
baths and also that working hours
shall be restricted to 81 hours per
day, with s hours only for young
persons employed.
Another important piece OF news

hist belief by participation in every
sort of social service, which up to
this time has been neglected by

This becomes a firm filament OF

Analysis of this viscous liquid
showed it to be like glue and with
somewhat similar chemical prop

gristle and skin, also has the natur-
al elements of glue. This was oo-
tanned from the ears and it was put

Mary Pfekford's first photograph in
a bathing suit.

Can it be that little Mary is 60
ing to help Mack Sennett out since
he has lost SO many of his famous
bathing beauties? There must be
some mysterious reason for her
donning a bathing suit. What?
She is merely ready for a swim in
her own private tank On the Pick
fair" estate.
No wonder I never thought of
that. Who ever heard of a mo-
ton picture actress putting on a
bathing snit for a swim. Mary al
ways was different, however, and
one would expect her to do the
unusual. This is the first time
Mary Pickford Fairbanks ever had
her picture taken in a bathing suit
How's that for a record in these
days since Mack Sennett doomed
the bathing snit business?
Mary's suit is one of the very

Queen Mary and Princess Mary re-
Gently completed a tour Of the
Channel Islands, which had not
been visited by a British sovereign
for rs years. The islands are the
only. portion of the Dukedom Of
Normandy now belonging to Eng
land, 10 which they have been at
tached for more than 1000 years.
French remains the language
spoken by the inhabitants.
King George, who on this occa-
sion assumed his old title of Duke
of Normandy, was received both
at Guernsey and here with quaint
old-time ceremonial. Royal fief-
holders knelt before him and swore
fealty in precisely the same man
ner as did their ancestors to Will
liam the Conqueror on the eve of
the Norman invasion. Tenures OF
land were confirmed by offerings
such as a pair of gilt spurs or a
brace of wild ducks.
In Guernsey, the seigneurs OF
Rozel and of Des Augries are en-
| joined by their tenures to ride into
i the water up to the saddle girths
and carry their duke TO land p
Lempriere and Mayor J. F. Giffard,
| the present-day holders OF lA~s-
seigneuries, so far conformed to
ancient usage as to meet the king
| at the waters edge.
Where are your ropes?" asked
! the king banteringly, as he greeted
/ them.
Il am afraid. sire, this water
would be too deep to ride into re
| piled Mr.. Lempriere.
All" said the king, "the world
| has moved a good deal since that

was received by halberdiers carry

Sir Walter Raleigh, the governor oil

The balberds had been handed

| The Jersey and Guernsey breeds
| of cows are famous throughout the
world, and the most valuable OF
them was shown to the royal visit
ors. This animal produces a tor
of butter each year. Another fine

The skirt hovers very near the

all former laws which said the long
skirt should be narrow and the
short skirt full. This gown, which
is a recent importation from Paris,
features novel lines. The bodice
suggests the peasant costumes.

fitting lines accentuated by an en-
bro1dered design. The sleeves are
also embroidered and another trim
ming feature is the braid trimmed

add a pretty touch to the while.
The full skirt has the new IN
even bottom which bids fair to be

full. loose panels reach below the
ankle and show how Paris is spun-
