jet hang from a hig cabochon over

Sometimes a lovely and barbaric
effect is obtained by a coronet of
tall aigrettes above jet band pull

at their wits end 20 make ends meet called
for something more than mere mental
understanding and appreciation. IL called
for emotion, for fcyerish cn;basiasm.
1t was a terrible day for hotel bcllhops,
for walters at restaurants and for sery-
ants everywhere, for it was an absolutely
tipless day. The economy day" was in
auRurated by chambers Of commerce and
ether bodies, with the Toxic Chamber OF

Toxic Chamber Of Commerce lost on that
fateful day more than 40 per cent Of its in
come. Il will be remembered BY mourn
ers at funerals as day blacker than any
blscA Friday, for on that day no cakes
were offered 10 those who attended
funerals. It was lonely day for the tray-
elers who started on journeys, for none
Of their friends, except those who had to,
came to the station or to a pier TO see
them OF. They we're all committed whole
heartedly to the saving of five yen car
fare. The men Of the Chamber Of Com
mcrce Of Toxic and other cities went with

all the savings banks in Japan presented
their patrons with small lacquer boxes

were plastered over with literature bear
ing sucli inscriptions as "Let us cut out
sake and tobacco" Lets save on our en-
tertainments, on excursions, on picnics,"
"Let us attend to our own needs our
selves and Thrift and savings are the
foundation OF ifes peace and stability"
This is the first definite, heroic declara-
tion of war By the people Of Japan against
the high cost Of living. After-war depres-
sion came in Japan as elsewhere, bat not
the after-war dcfation. Certainly not in
anything as heroic a manner as in the
United States and in England, for ex-
ample.
The reason FOR this is simple. When
the war came 10 a sudden stop the Jap
anese merchants and corporations did not
have the courage to look the actual condi-
tions in the face. They we're loaded with
goods at war prices, as were many mer-
chants and manufacturers I'M the United
States. Americans went through their
invoices, sliced the prices down with
heroic grin, pockcted the loss and called
it days work. In Japan the business
houses did nothing of the sort. They
wanted to unload on the public the stocks
they had accumulated ct war prices, and
they wished TO unload az the high war
prices. Instead Of taking ,he loss them
selves, as the American merchants did,
they preferred to have their customers
Dc that for them.
There was one way to do this success
sully. That was 10 maintain the commod-
itics at the inflated price level Of war
times. And that Is precisely what they did
do. or, rather, tried 20 do. OF course,
they did not succeed entirely, but they
did in n very large measure. With such
vital articles as silk, where the break Of
Price was sensa.ionally violent and threat
ened the very economic structure Of the
country, The government stepped in. IL
called into existence an organization
