TO SAVE MONEY BY
 GOOD GAS SYSTEM
Baron Goto. Mayor of Tokio, Says Modern Appliances Would
 Eliminate Waste.

Toledo, Sept. 1.-The people of Tokio, according to Baron Goto, the progressive mayor of the city, waste approximately 15,Ooo,ooo yen yearly in fuel which might be saved by the esta blishment of an up-to-date gas system. This was explained by the mayor at the inauguration meeting of the Tokio municipal research bur eau which has been organized with a view of securing an improvement in municipal utilities, and, in the words of the mayor, make Tokio the model city of Japan"
 The present gas plants, according to the mayor, are not giving the service which the people have right to demand and he proposed that all of them be taken over by the city. "If anyone" said Mayor Goto, dis cussed the adjustment of high prices without studying the volume and cost of fuel consumed by the people of Tokio, he would be making the mis- take of putting the cart before the horse.
 According to the estimate now at their homes: 17,42o, 900 sacks of charcoal valued at 42,60o,O0o yen; 31,o00.o0o kwan of wood, valued at 5,S50,000 yen and producing 350,300,- 000,000 calories of heat 400, ,000 tons of coal and 4o,000 tons of coke.
 This, he claimed, could be replaced by gas at a cost of 33.750,000 yen while the forests of the country would also be saved from the charcoal burners.

 These formidable court ladies have held sway in the section of the inn perial household where men are not permitted to control. The majority came from the families of entitled nobility, the priests of the Kamo, the Sumyoshi and other notabe Shinto shrines or other distinguished fami- lies. The ladies above the rank of myobu were given the names of genji while ladies coming from titled no. biity were given the names of two characters and those from the sam-
