Jap THREAT OR
BLUFF FAILED TO
SCARE SENATE
As Result of Vote Resignation
of Secretary Hughes Is
Possibility.
By WILLIAM PHILIR SIMMS
Times Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, April 16.-If Japan
was bluffing when Ambassador HAM
hara warned the United States grave
consequences" would ensue if her ma
tionals were barred, her bluff has been
called. If it was a threat, it failed
to scare.
japanese exclusion is now virtually
a foregone conclusion.
Incidentally Japanese Ambassador
Hanihara is in hot water; Secretary
of State Hughes stands repudiated by
the Senate; President Coolidge has
been placed where he must either re-
pudiate Hughes or defy Congress, and
the retirement Of Hanihara or
Hughes, or both is among the posi-
bilities.
Japans next step is awaited with
intense interest.
Here is how the present crisis began.
Last February Representative Albert
Johnson Of Washington. chairman Of
the House immigration Committee, in
troduced bill to limit immigration.
This bill provided mo alien ineligi-
BILE to citizenship shall be admitted to
the United States" save under GER
tain provisions. These provisions
were such as are understood to be
included in the "gentlemen's agree
ment" between the United States and
Japan and which, while admitting
bone fide tourists, students, merchants,
professors and similar classes, barred
Japanese coolies or ordinary laborers.
Hughes Made Protest
Secretary Of State Hughes at once
protested vigorously, in a letter to
the House committee. Such action,
he said, constituted a gratuitous in
suit to Japan, but the bill was re-
ported out over his protest.
Friday, Secretary Hughes protested
again. This came in the form of a
letter transmitted to both House and
Senate.
Secretary Hughes had just received
a letter from the Japanese ambassa-
dor, ne said, protesting against exclu-
sion measures in pending legislation.
Ambas sador Hanihara warned this
country against the grave conse-
quences which the enactment Of the
measure would inevitably bring" This
warning letter was transmitted in full
by Secretary Hughes to Congress.
In the House Saturday the John
son bill passed by a vote Of 1922 to II,
with little or no attention being paid
to the Hughes and Hanihara letters.
Looked Upon as Threat
Monday in the Senate the Hanihara
warning was characterized as a threat
and after a day Of hot speeches, the
tenor Of which was the United States
would make it's own laws as to immi-
grafton. the 'gentlemen's agreement"
was abroga1ed by vote Of rs to 2.
Until the Hanihara letter was in
troduced by Secretary Hughes, many
Senators felt the amendment, barring
Japanese, had little chance of passing.
The yelled menace from Japan,
however, turned sentiment completely
around. Despite Secretary Hughes
backing. The Japanese ambassador was
administered what amounted to an
official and unanimous rebuke by the
Senate, which at the same time ig-
nored Hughes and precipitated a crisis
the last of which is not yet decided.

Bodied Hair Not NeU Idea

Bodied hair is ancient, according to
discoveries made in the little town Of
Wilmington, Northamptonshire, Eng
land. The restoration of the parish
church there has revealed painting
depicting women with their hair
bobbed in the style Of 1924. Hidden
under coating of thin plaster were dis
covered wall paintings representing the
resurrection and the judgment. Tho
plaster has now been carefully re-
moved to show the decorations. Most
of the figures in the paintings arc
women. Some have their hair falling
about the shoulders, but the artist
has given the majority short hair, cut
exactly in the manner of the modern
girls couture. The vicar believes the
paintings are the same age as the
church, which was built In 1850.

pretty, looks to the corsetieres to give
her figure straight and boyish lines.
Nearly all the new corsets are low
top or topless models. made Of satin,
Droche or rubber. Wrap-a-Ound or
step-in, they have long, or medium
long, hip lines. Many Of the new
models have no lacings; the strong,
firm, elastic materials are so put to-
gether that they give the figure shape
liness. Boning grows less and less a
factor In their composition while de-
signers rely upon materials to sustain
and restrain the figure without ham,
pering the body or injuring 1t. 1t
almost goes without saying, that cor
sets should be fitted-there are mod
els to suit different types of figures

and for different uses and there are
appliances for correcting defects in
either too stout or too slim persons
The responsibility Of the corset
stops at the waistline and Is there
taken up by brassiere which under
takes to support the bust in the proper
way. Very slender women find
corselet all that they need. If the
figure is too fiat, corcetieres recon-
mend the wearing of ruffled piece
made Of silk, net or sheer cotton
fabric, attached to the front of the
corselet. The advantage of the cor
set and brassiere, for stout figures is
the freedom they allow at the waist
line, which is necessary for proper
breathing. This Is point never over
looked by corset makers who must
always mcuaRs to give the figure trim

Storage 'B" Battery
That Can Be Recharged

The larger radio sets, using from
three to eight tubes, have become in
creasingly popular, due to their Wild
range, power and receiving qualities
When number of tubes are used the
drain on the "B" batteries becomes
proportionately greater. For this
reason the storage type Of "B" bat
teries which can be recharged are now
widely used, due to their economy and
steady, dependable operation. The
home type tungar battery chargers,
which are so popular for charging "a
batteries, can be adapted for charging
storage "B" batteries by means of a
simple device, the "B" battery attach
ment.
This attachment Is hung on the side
Of tungar and the short lead Is clipped
to the line tap in the five-ampere tun-
gar, or the soldered joint on the right
Of the transformer In the two-ampere
charger. The long lead from the at
tachment Is connected to the positive
terminal of the "B" battery and the
negative tungar lead goes to the
negative terminal Of the battery. The
positive tungar lead Is not used and
should be kept apart from the battery
while charging. A 24-volt battery
may be charged to OF ampere and
4S-volt battery may be charged OIL
ampere.
Higher voltage batteries can be
charged by using additional attach
ments. For instance, 96-volt battery
should be divided in half and the
two negative terminals connected to
the negative tungar lead. Two at
tachments are used, the short leads
being both connected to the tungar
rs before and one long lead going to
each positive battery terminal. Thus
he two sections Of the battery are
charged in parallel.
The operation Of the "B" battery
attachment can be easily understood
When charging six-volt "a" battery
are made to the positive
nd negative tungar leads. The cur
ent Is supplied by the left-hand coil
n the auto transformer, which Is the |
,w voltage side. In the case Of the
B" battery, connections are made so
hat current Is supplied by the right
and coll, which furnishes sufficiently |
ifh voltage to take care Of the high
: voltage battery. The "B" battery
ttachment is merely resistance cou.
