TOXIC, March 2o.-RefusinS to
recognize the modern Japanese
law, which relieves the head of a
family OF responsibility for the
conduct of its members. Count
Yanagiwara, brother of the poet
ess Akiko Ito. whose famous di-
vorce case startled the empire.
has resigned from the house of
peers and gone into seclusion.
The little poetess, already d.
vorced. created a sensation last
year, when she suddenly married
Mr.. Ito, coal king of Kyushu, al
though she was known to love a
young literary man named Mi
yazakf, whom she met al the home OF
Mr.. Ito before her second marriage.
Thinking his sister would now
settle down, Count Yanagiwara,
who keenly resented the first di-
yorce, began to take an active in
terest in affairs of state. He rep
resented Japan abroad on several
occasions and was regarded as one
of the leaders of his party in the
upper house of parliament.
But the temperamental p0eteSS
soon proved that she was far from
settled in her rich surroundings.
Society and political circles were
startled last October when she
suddenly left the palatial residence
of her husband while the latter
was on a business tour and went to
her lover. Miyazaki, in whose home
she was found several weeks
later. aa@
Every effort of her brother and
his powerful friends to induce her
to rerturn home proved fruitless.
whereupon the case was laid be-
fore the imperial government with
a plea that Akiko be granted a
divorce in order to permit a legal
marriage to Miyazaki. The i'm
perial household. however. de-
clined to interfere on the ground

VAST SAVINGS IN FUEL
BY SUPER-POWER PLAN
Geological Survey Says Uniting of

Utility Companies.

Vast savings in fuel would accrue
to electric utility companies in Wash
ington by 1925 If the super-power
plan suggested for linking up power
stations along the Atlantic seaboard
is adopted, according to statistics
made public by the geological survey
Electric utility companies in Wash
ington in 1919 used about 26s.000
short tons of coal, at an annual cost
of more than a million dollars. Much
of this annual fuel bill could be
saved by the super-power plan, it is
estimated by government engineers
Extensive development of the Po-
tomac river as a source for hydro
electric power would entail further
savings, the survey points out.
Total annual cost of power develop
ment on the Potomac river under the
super-power plan in 1926 is esti-
mated at $2.240.000. with the time
required to complete the project. in.

FUNCTION OF LAUGHTER.
Nature Substitutes It for an Emo
ton of Sympathetic Distress.

William McDougall, in Scribner's Magazine
There are two features essential to
the ludicrous. First, it always in
wolves some maladjustment, some
thing inappropriate, which. II we
contemplated it without laughter Gas
do some persons who seem incapable
of laughter). would displease us, as
every lack of harmony and order in
nature displeases us.
Secondly, in every case, the 1udl-
crous situation or action is one which,
If we ourselves suffered 1t or per-
formed it, would be mildly distressing
to US; and 1t is one which as mat
ter Of fact is mildly distressing to
the person who suffers or performs
it. except in the case Of the clown
who acts the part and finds salts
faction in the success Of his efforts
to provoke laughter.
Now, il we had no capacity for
laughter. in virtue of the primitive
sympathetic tendency we should, on
contemplating these disharmonies of
action, share in some degree the dis
tress, the embarrassment. the dis
appointment or the humiliation. in
short. the pain and depression, which
accompany all failure of action.
That is to say, a human being. de-
prived of the capacity for laughter.
but otherwise normally constituted
and leading a normally social life,
would suffer very frequently from
sympathetic pain and depression. For
the pain of every little embarrass-
ment, disappointment, failure and
mishap Of all those about him would
be sympatheticaliy shared by him. We
are saved from this multitude of
small sympathetic pains and depres-
sions by laughter. which. as we have
seen, breaks up our train Of mental
activity and prevents our dwelling
upon the distressing situation, and
which also provides an antidote to
the depressing influence in the form
of psychological stimulation that
raises the blood pressure and pro-
notes circulation Of the blood.
This, then, Is the biological func-
ton of laughter, one of the most deli
cate and beautiful Of all natures
adjustments.
