FOREIGNERS IN JAPAN
HIT BY MAIL RATES
BY CLARENCE DuBosE.

Omitted Press Staff CORRESPONDENCE
TOKYO, Jan. 10.-(By MaiD For
eigners in Japan are holding Crouch
tests over the stiff boost In outgoing
mail rates which recently became cf-
fective.
Postage was doubled on all foreign
mail leaving Japan after January l.,
Exporters and importers have filed
formal protests ana ONE of The trade
Journals have complained that ia
pans already languishing foreign trade
will get another Jolt because Of these
new rates.
They contend that the sending Of
trade catalogues, samples of materials
and tride stimulation literature and
letters will be discouraged because Of
the steep postage overhead
The minimum regular-letter postage
TO the United States or other foreign
countries Is now twenty sen. or ten
cents. This is twice the rate from the
United States to japan.
The postal authorities point to The
Madrid international postal convention
last year for the postage Increase.
They express the utmost regret for
any unfavorable foreign trade reaction
that may result-bht vigorously deny
that such an outcome is probable,

That cold, imperishable thing of wax,
in colors gay,
Which hung upon the parlor wall in

No longer shrieks its warning grim

For on the little marble shelf above

Where all the sacred treasures of

The pictures and the Onyx clock, the
globe of native birds,
Which told the things We loved the

today when he expressed his enthusi-

There Mother kept in tenderness the
trinkets1 of the years,
The tokens of her happier days, the
symbols of her tears:
The glossy cabinet photographs, the
candlesticks of brass,
The picture of Niagara Falls blown
into heavy glass,
And there above the CRATE fires glow,
for every eye to see,
Were all the sacred treasures from
her book of memory.
But Time has swept these things
away, the mantel now is bare,
The attic dust lies thick upon the Joys
once valued there;
The photographs are stored away, the
birds long since have flown,
Nor it is now good form TO show the
treasured things we own,
For when the newer customs come,
the ones Of old must cease,
And yet I'm sorry that we had to lose
the chimney piece.

Of the 2-hour shift In any industry.
Having ascertained the fact that
the 12-hour shift Is largely confined TO
the steel group, there remained the
question of determining the serious
ness of technical difficulties in chang
ing to the two-shift operation and the
question of what would be the effect
of the eight-hour day as compared
with the 12-hour shift operation on
the quantity and quality of produc-
tion and labor turnover.
According to the report, the effect
of the eight-hour, as compared with
the generally abandoned 12-hour shift,
has been satisfactory where good
management and cooperation of Ia
Dor have been secured. Quantity
production per man has increased as
much as 25 ger cent and, in a few ex-
ceptional cases, even more. Improve.
ment is noted also in quality produc-
ton following adoption of the short
shift.

city in the forlorn remnant Of cans
upon the shelves, or in the half-empty
barrels and boxes under the counter
and massed in the corners of the room.
One man found stray box of sar-
dimes, and took possession of 1t with
the remark that, while it was not
"Christmasy," he could have the sat
isfaction of knowing he was eating
the only sardines In camp; another
drew out can of Boston baked beans
from behind squadron of tomatoes
while third, of more investigating
and determined turn of mind, hunted
among the boxes and barrels until he
actually discovered a can of Cape Cod
icranberries.
This brought the entire group of
Christmas hunters into a compact,
envying circle; and while they were
anxiously debating the pro and con-
especially the con--of a division of
spoils, the door opened quietly and
stoop-shouldered, watery- eyed man en-
tered.
Have you got any toys?" he asked,
hesitatingly.
The storekeeper stared, and unani
mously, as though by preconcerted ar
rangement, the group around the
canned representatives from Cape Cod
turned and stared also.
"Any-what?" the storekeeper asked
blankly.
Toys" the man repeated looking at
the encircling faces with abashed en-
barrassment-"th things to play with, /
mean, like children have at Christ
mas. You see," with curious
mingling of apology and pride in his
voice, 'my little ten-year-old boy came

from some long dormant tenderness

Good Suet Crust.

When making an apple pudding
with q suet crust proceed as follows:
To two cupfuls Of finely chopped suet
take three cupfuls Of -four, a scant
teaspoonful of salt and pinch of
soda. Sift ,the flour, salt and soda
together and rub In the suet thor
oughly, the same as for pie crust;
then add enough water to make
dough that can be rolled out easily
and roll it in a thick sheet of about
half an inch thick, and in the CEN
ter put some. finely chopped or
thinly sliced tart apples which have
been sweetened and favored to taste.
Then lay this upon a we'll Toured
pudding cloth, draw the edges of the
dough together, pour a little water
over the apples just before pinching
the dough, and tie the cloth securely,
allowing a little room in which the
pudding may swell.
Immerse this in boiling water and

hours, when It IL ready to serve with
your favorite sauce.
