Economy Days"

TVER since last August the first
and fifteenth of every month
- have been Economy Days" in
Japan.
Green tea is abolished for "a
hours.
Tips are abolished.
Smoking and drinking are for
hidden.
No cakes are to be given to
/ mourners at funerals.
Dinners and wedding parties are
to be as inexpensive as possible.
Every one must do for himself
everything he can without assist
ance.
Calls are to be ended when the
purpose is accomplished, and tea or
cake is not to be given callers "un-
less it is asked fol"
Proper observance of the day is
under the auspices of the Economy
Society, which was organized some
time ago as the result of agitation
by the Tokyo Chamber of Com
merce. Membership is not restricted
by social class, bank account, or
dexterity with tea cup. Any one
may join.
But the punishment Of back
sliders is severe, involving fines and
the publication of the facts and
the name of the evil-doer.
Japan, it appears, has indulged
in a program of high, wide and
fancy "riotous living" Now a re-
action has set in and the leaders
of thought are bending every
energy to encourage thrift.
There is a fine bit of irony in
the thought that a nation of de-
spised Orientals whose standard of
living is so low that white men
cannot compete with them should
be finding cause for admiration in
the frugality and economy of West

Gun, and Guns
y ECRETARY OF WAR WEEKS

~ in addressing the Boston
Chamber of Commerce said
that we are nation of gum chew
ers and spend three times as much
In a year for chewing gum and
candy as for military preparation.
If the human animal by this time
were as peaceable as the placid
cud-chewing COW instead of as no,
tentially ferocious as the militant
bull, it might be regarded a good
sign that we spend so much more
for gum than for guns and other
war-making equipment.

The SaLUatiOn
Army Lassie

THERE is altogether too much
disposition to interfere with
L freedom of speech on all
kinds of flimsy pretext.-
The other day in New York Cap
tain Rheba Crawford of the Sal
vation Army was arraigned in court
on a disorderly conduct charge. The
magistrate promptly discharged
her.
1t appears that "the Angel of
Broadway" as Captain Crawford
is called, has been conducting Sun
day night street meetings for two
years. But last Sunday evening
she was arrested for speaking from
the steps of the Gaiety Theater.
The order for her arrest was sent
out on Sunday afternoon and spe-
officially directed that her meeting
be stopped.
Captain Crawford said: "I was
booked on a charge of blockading
traffic. If l have been blockading
traffic, it has taken the police a
long time to find it out, and also
If l was. disorderly."
Every one now gives glad rec
ognltion to the Salvation Army
and its varied work. We need not
here plead for that nor for the
lassie harassed in this particular
instance. What we wish to en-
phasize is the importance of safe.
guarding the constitutional prin-
ciple involved.
We cannot too strongly insist
that the Constitution should al.
ways be observed and that the free
dom OF speech and of peaceable as
sembly that it guarantees should
be safeguarded and be protected
from interference by all sorts of
petty official minds, from Judges
down to police officers.

WHAT is the mission of a
wife? Or, rather. what
should it be?
OF one thing I am convinced.
II is not to enter upon an
equal partnership. It seems to
be quite a common idea these
days that a woman entering
matfimony is in the same po-
sition as a man making a deal
with a friend to enter the
clothing business. These two
become equal partners and the
rights and duties Of each in
business are clearly defined.
But the rights and duties of
q married couple cannot be de-
fined. They are f1uctuating
quantities Illness, accident,
misfortune-a thousand unfore-
seen contingencies-may change
them overnight.

in order to provide for his
wife. Should he become In.

HUNTING REPTILES.

G. K. Noble the Sreptile expert q the
American Museum of Natural History, is in
the Dominican Republic hunting for snakes
and lizards and frogs. He is accompanied by
Mrs. Noble. The most striking reptiles he
hopes to study are the rhinoceros iguana
and the giant tree frog. Both these forms
are confined to the island of Santo Domingo.
The rhinoceros iguana is found chiefly in the
arid southwestern portion of the island in
the vicinity of a dead sea, the surface of
which is more than a hundred feet below sea
level. The giant tree frog has been taken
only in the Central Cordillera and on the
Quita Espuala, a range Of mountains in the
northeastern part Of the island.
1t will be necessary for the expedition to
carry on its work during the height of the
rainy season in order to secure information
in regard to the life history of the giant tree
frog. Although this species is the largest and
most spectacular tree frog in the world, its
life history is entirely unknown, and the ex.
pedition hopes to secure valuable scientific
data as we'll exhibition material

THE German princess who
L has become the wife Of
the ex-Kaiser declares that she
regards 1t as her mission in
life to make her husbands life
more bearable.
There isn't much love lost
for William Hohenzoliern these
days and. outside the circle
of his friends. probably few
would care IL the rest Of his
days were quite miserable.
Nevertheless, one cannot re-
frain from applauding the SEN
timents OF this princess. Par
ticularly in these days. when

mission in life to be the spend
ing Of their husbands money
