Earthquake Is Responsible

Special iCaDlo TO- the San ANTONIO Light
and the Chicago Daily News.
Tokyo, March 2S.-The himona,
symbol of Japan, has felt the jolt
of the earthquake. Though men were
gradually adopting the more practi-
cal Western trousers and coats for
business. wear and school children
had made the change like well reg
ulated army, the earthquake was the
final blow. 1t wiped out the COM
mercial supply around. Tokyo, the XII
mona makers have never caught up
and its doubtful whether they will
ever be required to. Before the quake.
Theater street in Yokohama, the shop
ping district for both cities, had blocks
Of clothing shops. A few Of them dis
played Western ready-made clothes.
The same shops are rebuilt with
new stocks of goods and the goods are
different. In one block with ten
clothing stores, only onet continues to
offer kimonas. In front of the others
hang hand-me-downs for all ages,
shapes and sizes of qualities to suit
any pocketbook. The assortment is
complete-sleezy overcoats, loud pinch
backed jackets which are called nobby
and durable business suits. The only
thing lacking to make it like any
American or European city are the
wooden-faced dummies with smiles
that summer showers cannot wash
off.
The relief supplies were rushed over
after the disaster are responsible to
some extent. The Japanese govern
ment did not want to take the re-
sponsibility of changing the national
costume. 1t felt the same way about
the national diet. Canned fruits,

Pearl Bracelet.
The most popular bracelet at the
present time is the one of many
of pearls wound several times
about the wrist.
Scarfs Popular.
Scarfs are quite as popular for eve
ming as for day wear. They are
worn inside the evening wrap and
knotted about tie shoulder while
dancing.
Popular Furs.
Summer ermine, Russian kit fox,
dyed squirrel, baby fox and grisette
the popular furs for sumner to De
used on coats and capes.
Glace Gloves. -
The newest gloves are of glace, very
short, and frilled with ruffles of per-
forated kid.
.. Full Ruffle.
The perfectly straight frock for
summer is quite apt to have a wide
circular or full ruffle finishing it
about the bottom.
Coat Banding.
Coats that are not banded with fur
may have a band of material in a
darker shade forming narrow out
line.
Skirts Shorter.
Skirts are growing much shorter,
though they are not so exaggerated
ly so as a few years ago. With boyish
styles so prevalent, the long skirt is
out of the picture.

Oil OF Cedar.
Oil the inside of the boxes in which

you store away your winter garments
with oil of cedar.
Sour Milk, Soda. r
Sour milk and soda are preferable
to sweet milk for gingerbread, bis
cults or griddle cakes as they make
a lighter dough.
Cooking Prunes.
It is unnecessary to sweeten
prunes if you will cook them slowly
after having soaked them overnight
in water.
Use Soap.

mains. 1t has been decided to use this

Tokyo. Opposition from hospitals
which were established before thsI
earthquake, who scraped together
emergency equipment and struggled
through those trying days and whose
facilities are now taxed to the utmost
has failed to change the decision. The
hospitals which foreigners established
in Tokyo and Yokohama were de-
stroyed. st. Luke's has been reopen1

Wages Do Not Soar.
Work is plentiful in Tokyo but the
fanciful stories of fabulous wages and
exorbitant prices for living are heav
lily discounted by the facts. Traveleri
tell you laborers are receiving 10 ven
day and artisans 20 yen. Possibly
several did receive such pay on a rus1
job for a day or a few hours but &C
tual figures show very small in
crease since the earthquake, smallel
than would be expected considering
that most of the workers lost theil
tools. homes and personal effects.
With it's usual thoroughness, thu
government through the police took
census of all workers in the empir'
who could come to the stricken area
Some yokels were anxious to come a
even less than the former scale Of
wages. Others wanted more to leav,
their homes. So far few have beer
brought in as the permanent rebuild
ing has not started. Similar govern
ment actions was taken to prevent an
increase in the already exorbitant liv
ing costs which even before the quak,
were standing Japan's foreign trade
The payrolls of a foreign contract
ing firm which would feel an increas
ed wage scale before Japanese employ
ers would, shows the comparative
daily wage before the earthquake and
today, as follows:
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-03-23

The wages are in yen. A ven toda1

while six months ago it was wort,
40 10 cents. The increased pay had
been II cents a day. As it take|

TheaterS
With
WALTER D. HICKMAN


ri HERE is a man behind the
scenes at the Murat this
- summer who is responsible
for the production end IF all shows
put on by this company. He is
never seen by the audience. Am
speaking Of Melville Burke. pro-
Quoting director of the 0Eurat Play
ers. In discussing his plans at the
Murat for the summer Burke has
this to say:
1.-The work of the Murat Players
must inevitably become widely
known. 1t is inconceivable that an
organization of such conscientious
and competent artists should fail to
make a deep impression on the
theatergoing public Of this city.
Beginning with Monsieur Beau
caire,' that beautiful romantic and
witty comedy, then You and l. its
second offering, a merry comedy
aimed at persons who attempt to be
what they are not, down to the at
traction Of the past week. Ice
ers have sincerely devoted them
! selves individually and collectively
to the task of providing this city
with entertainment OF Metropolitan
caliber. 1t is my object to bring to
the Murat, all that is best in the
line of drama, farce and comedy,
and to maintain a notable aggre-
cation of players for their interpre-
tation. The settings of the plays
will be done on the same scale of
sumptuousness and splendor with
which they have been presented to
date.
Clean wholesome entertainment
for the home folks is our slogan,
not too highbrow and meant for all
who care for clever plays, cleverly
acted. So-called New York successes
of the fiippant. seni-smart or
covertly suggestive variety are not
wanted in this city"
George Roberts, who was the man
ager of the Capitol Theater last sea-
son for the Columbia Wheel, has ar
rived here to put the theater in or
der for the opening of "Abie's Irish
Rose" on June 8.
Stuart Walker will operate two
stock companies in Ohio this sum
mer. The one in Cincinnati has
been doing the biggest business
in Walkers experience, according
to him. Next week he will
open a company at Dayton, Ohio.
William R. Fields will be the
manager OF the company. During
