MARVEL JAPANESE
SEEING HIROMTO
Crown Prince a Beau
Brummel, Thanks to
London Tailor.

TOKYO, Nov. Is. - The crown
prince of Japan. who will probably
become regent within a short time.
due to the serious illness of his i'm
perial father. has been a very busy
young man since he returned from
abroad and received the rapturous
welcome of his future subjects.
from almost the moment he landed
from the warship Kattori at Yoko-
hama month ago until now he has
daily been the center of some fes-
tivity in his honor and the effect
OF MS foreign tour Is most notice
able In his ease of manner and In
the way in which he enters into
whatever may be going on, instead
of. as has heretofore invariably
been the custom, standing of aloof
in solemn dignity.
Looks Improved.
One of the things about the young
prince that struck all observers on
his return was the way he looked
''Isn t he splendid" the japanese
said. one to another, and then they
looked again to see just what the
change might be that made the
prince almost a different person
from the STRIPPING who went abroad
in early summer. Finally some one
more observant than the rest, dis
covered what it was, why. his
clothes fit him." he announced. and
SO they do!
To any enc outside of Japan and
not conversant with the etiquette OF
the imperial house that fact would
not seem at all strange. On the
contrary. IL he wors misfit clothing
II would appear to be a matter OF
comment. but IL is a fact that the
crown prince is the first Of his line
to wear foreign clothes that look as
il they were made for him.
TnilOrs Measure by Eye.
CULVER in his travels found a land
where the tailors measured their Gus
toners for clothes by standing or and
using surveying implements. quad
rants and other scientific triangula'
tion devices. with the to be expected
results in the way of a fit. In Japar
the taiiors for the imperial household
do not even use these instruments
They use nothing at all, but have tc
stand off and secure all their meas
urements by eye. No such a profant
thing as a tape measure could posi-
bly, be used to circle any imperia
waist: no vulgar. tailor's hand could
possibly be put under an imperia
armpit to get sleeve length. The
consequence is what might be ex
pected. and the emperor. the crown
prince and the younger imperia
brothers have never had clothes thai
even a city clerk would wear; tha
is. until the crown prince went t.
England.
At Gibraltar. when the Kattor
dropped anchor amid the roar Of the
welcoming guns, little dispatch boa'
was the first to run alongside. From
1t stepped a London tailor, who had
rushed to the Rock to meet the i'm.
perial visitor and take his order fol
all the clothes he would need. That
tailor. not knowing what was what
ran up and down and over the crown
prince with his tape. jotting dowr
the measurements. He told his i'm.
perial highness to stand up straight
he turned him AROUND when turning
was necessary, and he otherwise com.
mitted all the forms Of lese majesty
possible. But he did make him
clothes that fitted and that are today
the pride of all Japan.

LAUD U. S. STAND
ON AMATEUR SPORT
Administrators Decision Ia
Sponsor New Athletic Fed
Grafton, Praised.

Letters from men prominent in
athletic circles throughout the
country are daily flowing into the
Offices of the Secretary of War and
the Secretary Of the Navy as the
result of the present administra-
tons decision to officially sponsor
and foster the foundation of a ma
tion-wide federation which shall
embrace all those permanent or
CARNATIONS in the United States
devoted to amateur sport and
physical education.
THE public will !. heartily COM
mend the attitude of the army and
navy administration in taking the
lead in such an important matter
and outlining and stating its pol
icy so clearly. says John R. Mott,
general secretary of the interna-
tional committee of Young Mems
Christian Associations in a letter to
the Secretary of War, received yes
terday. This should do much to
encourage more general participa-
tion in all forms of healthful phys
ical activities, particularly among
the young. and thereby decrease
Eshe amount of physical inefficiency
and disability as revealed in the re-
lection of such a large percentage
of men drafted for active service
during the war.
The records of American repre-
sentatives participating in the in
ternational olympic games has like
wise attracted worldwide attention.
! II. Is fitting, therefore. that the United
States should have a representative.
national administrative body which
would most truly represent American
ideals and standards of sport In this
country and the relations of Amer
iea in such matters to other ma
lions. :"
Paul. B. Williams. field secretary
Of the United States Lawn Tennis
Association. is another who heartily
approves OF the plan to officially fos-
ter amateur athletics.
Z Asking for additional information
on the subject so that he can lay
the matter before the executive COM
mittee OF the association at its De-
cember meeting. Mr.. Williams says:
The proposal is so much in line with
the attitude of many who are in
terested in amateur sport that 1 feel
certain the officers of the United
States Lawn Tennis Association
would be glad to have all possible
before them at the meet
ing in question"
