Writer Says japanese Hurrylng
to Islands to Secure Wives.

To the Editor of The Star:
At Keith's this week the Pathe
News Service showed some interest
ing films illustrating scenes at San
Francisco on the departure of num-
ber of Japanese for japan on board
the Taiyo Maru. The captions indi-
Gated that these Japanese were sor-
rowfully leaving their homes in Cali
fornia because of conditions which
would be induced by the proba bic
passage of the exclusion measure of
the immigration bill.
The fact is that most of the men
on board were leaving for japan to
secure and return with japanese
wives before the proposed law would
become effective on July !. Japanese
newspapers and japanese leaders on
the Pacific coast for months past
have been urging the unmarried jap
anese adults in continental United
States, of which there are said to be
over 10000, to take advantage of the
kankodan excursion parties ana Sc

Most of the children going on that

advantage of their American citizen
ship, they could be of most service
to Japan. For the past few years
there have thus been going back to
Japan each year for the purpose in

Japanese children.
The following quotation is from the
issue of April "a of Nichi Bel, pub
lished in San Francisco, the most
widely distributed Japanese daily
published outside of Japan. The
translation is accurate:
THE Tenyo Maru is to sail for ia
pan from San Francisco at noon to-
day, and. although the Taiyo Maru,
which sailed on the 18th, carried 500
passengers, there are still $50 to
go by this vessel, 40 in the first class,
As in the second class and the rest
third class. They are practically all
bachelors who naturally have adopt
ed the only method by which they
can get wives into the country before
July 1, when the immigration law,
as we have several times explained,
will become operative. There are
scarcely any old people or married
men among them 1mmedi-
ately on landing in Japan each one
will set out to find a wife, and, hav-
ing found her. will sail with her for
America from Yokohama by the
Tenyo Maru on June s. Hence, they
will not have more than four weeks
in Japan, but the suddenness of the
emergency renders this unavoidable 2

Do You Ever Go to School?
By JOHN CARLYLE.

How about it, father and mother,
are you getting the value out of the
taxes you pay to keep up your schools?
Ask yourself that question. Then an
swer it.
You are paying taxes for school
purposes, you are getting handsome
buildings and you are sending your
boys and girls to be taught. Isn't
that about the limit of attention that
you give to education? Isn't that
about the length and breadth of your
interest in one of the three essential
institutions in this life?
There are only three such institu-
tions-home, church, school.
Once a month you look at the grade
cards of your children. You are too
busy, or think you are too busy, to
give the cards real analysis. You
give them the once over and let it go
at that.
If there is trouble with the school
system in your town, you are the
trouble.
Very likely, reader, the town in
which you live, has parent-teacher
clubs. These clubs have meetings
about once a month, with glib speak
ers and doughnuts and coffee. You
go and are sufficiently entertained.
But that isn't taking part in your
school duties. That isn't carrying
your share of the responsibility for
the success of your educational
system.
What is more, that is not doing
the best you know how by your boy
and girl.
Most parents seem to think these
clubs are for the children. They are,
but only through the medium of
fathers and mothers. There is a won
derful opportunity in these organiZa-
tions for parents to get acquainted
with teachers. When teachers know
the parents better, they will under
stand the boys and girls better. And
they will be able to do finer work in
leading young folks along the rather
rough and steep beginnings of the
path of education.
In a large town that / know about
q, police officer, representing the bu-
reau of safety, is lecturing in schools
and before parent-teacher clubs. He
gives some interesting conclusions as
the result of his work and experience.
This officer says that the best way
to educate the child, he finds, is
through the parent. He reaches for
the child through the parent.
Be sure of this: Parents who have
the most studious, the most tractable,
the most successful children, are par
entS who go to school and who know
the teachers.
They get the value out of their

ton and villainy by centuries of song
and story. AS a matter of fact, Helen
of Troy may have been a very plain
person, but Of sufficient social posi-
tion to justify a war on account of
her abduction. Perhaps if she were
restored to life today she would not
be rated as worth the tremendous ex-
penditure of lives and treasure that
was made for her rescue and the pun
story stands as one of the most NOV
ing tales ever told. But it does not
necessarily gain in force or value by
this assurance that Helen once ac-

erans?-W. F. B.
A. The amount of compensation
PAID annually by the United States
veterans Bureau to it's ex-soldiers
0oo'oOO. and the amount paid UP to

=. Heat can be electrically pro,
duced by resistance; is there any
method by which cold may be similarly
made?-D. b. a.
A. Cold is produced by electrically
driven mechanical refrigerating ma
cines using ammonia or other sub
stance with low boiling point. Cold
from electricity can be produced di-
rectly on very small scale by put
ting a battery in a thermo -couplet
circuit so as TO run the current back

O. Have the bore, choke and
chamber dimensions of shotguns been
standardized as in rifles?-H. y.
A. The National Rife Association
says they have not been standardized
as in rifles, but are a result of ex-
perimentation by shotgun manufac-
turers. The approximate inside diam
eter of a 10-gauge is 1914 of an
Cr
gage, lilo of an inch; 20-gauge. "a
of an inch.
Q. Why has Bethlehem. Pa. some
times been called the American Bay
reuth?-A. p.
A. The Moravians have given
Bethlehem a national reputation as
a musical center. Led by Count Mix
olus Zinzendorf, they founded the city
shortly before Christmas in 174J-the
season of the year suggested the
name. Benjamin Franklin was
strongly impressed with the fine
music in their church, and toward
the close of the nineteenth century
a choir, under the direction of the
organist, J. Frederick Wolfe, became
widely known, rendering for the first
time in America Bach's st. John Pas
sion Gin 1889, followed by ST, Mat
thew Passion, the Christmas Orations
the Mass in 2 Minor and finally by
an annual Bach festival continuing
three days.
Q. Is il possible for a boy who has
his parents consent, even though he
has not reached his seventeenth
birthday, to join the Marine Corps?-
c. E. A.
A. The minimum age of enlistment
in the Marine Corps is eighteen with
parents consent. From eighteen to
twenty-one it is necessary for the ap-
plicant to have docum entary evidence
of the date of his birth. Twenty men
a month of those between the ages
of seventeen and eighteen with par
ents consent can be enlisted as drum
mers and trumpeters. The maximum
age limit is thirty-fiye years,

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
Every Year.

Every year
The same sweet violets appear
And apple blossoms-yes, indeed!
Likewise the joyous jimson weed,
And later on the blushing rose
Then trees their generous fruits dis
close.
And presently the wintry SHOWS
Turn us to thoughts Of fireside cheer
Every year.
Every year
The same old tunes delight the ear
And splendid promise fills the air,
With now and then a passing scare.
The same old stories are brought out
That cause the audience to shout.
The various problems come and go,
Severe, yet f1eeting as the snow.
And honest peace dispels each fear,
Every year.
