Japan's Hotel Rates Highest in

By United Press.
TOKYO, June 23.-Unless hotel rates
and general living prices in Japan, now
the highest in the world. can be brought
down sharply. the tourist business of
this country will be greatly injured.
That is the opinion expressed with in
creasing force by foreign visitors them.
selves. as well as by japanese hotels and
interests which profit by tourists. There
is much talk-but no reduction.
Every hotel manager declares the tour
ist business will be ruined and foreign
visitors cease coming to Japan unless
prices are lowered. Meanwhile his own
prices continue the same-three or four
times the prices quoted in guidebooks
and American newspaper and magazine
advertisements.

FIELD DAY "FARMERETTES"

Interest in Farmers Field Days is not
confined TO the men in Missouri. The
women in the rural districts of the state
are as eager for instruction in labor saw.

in new farm methods.
The purpose Of Farmers Field DAYS is
chiefly to show the results of experimen.
tation, the application of which will make
farm life more attractive, more produc.
tive and more prosperous to the farm
population of Missouri.
Half of the farm population of the
state is composed Of women, who are
anxious to know new and improved meth
DDS by which to do their old tasks.
Farmers Field Days offer to them an
open sesame" during which the home
economics department, with its staff of
experts in housewifey in cooperation
with the home economics extension work
ers, meets the women visitors and answers
questions on problems Of making a
home.
Open sessions in cooking. dieietics,
house furnishings, and sewing are Of real
value TO farm wives. The University is
doing an actual and appreciable service
when il renders TO the women of the state
an assistance Of such practical value. Nor
is the interest Of the women confined to
the home economics department. Some
Of the most pertinent questions directed
at the poultry department are asked by
women who are successfully raising large
flocks for commercial purposes. The
same is true 10 a lesser extent in all the

WHOLESALE MURDER.

In Greater New York there were
thirty-seven murders during the
month OF March, more than one a
day. One murder was committed by
woman.
This IN an astounding record Of
homicide, even for such n great city
as New York. II shows that many
criminals there not only hold human
life contemptibly cheap. but have little
fear OF tho laws punishment.
1t would not be surprising II the
latter reason were the chief incentive
to the crime OF murder. for every
where the record Of consequences is
the same--long delays In trials. even
after convictions: verticts Of the les
ser degrees OF murder. and far toe
few executions.
There is no doubt the need Of the
country Is for more summary vista
