TOKYO, July %. Legally
Masanosuke Sakamoto Is muir

Fujioka, where he lives. He is
both because he killed Masukichi
Sakamoto with a butchers cleaver.
Although they bore similar
names, Masanosuke and Masukichi
were entirely unrelated and vastly
dissimilar in character. Masuk1chi
was the bully, the bad man. of
whom the villagers stood in terror
Masanosuke is genial, kindly. the

Masanosuke decided 1t was time

The Days Biggest Surprise
Scopes found guilty!

Did the MaVas temper copper?
Yes" says A. Payne, the local
boy who has made good in Tulane
University's research work in
Central America.
mo, no, nor says Ernest
Gichner, who used to do a little
research work himself.
The argument occurred at the
Civitan luncheon yesterday, after
Mr.. Payne had told the boys
about the mysteries of the Yucca
tan ruins. During his talk, he
mentioned that the secret Of
tempering copper to a practicable
cutting point had probably dieo
with the Mayas, Americas ear
Hest known settlers, because no
body had been able to solve the
problem since.
Mr.. Gichner doubted this. He
himself had looked into the past
Of the country, and hadn't found
anything about the successful
tempering of copper.
I'D be very glad to show you
a copper tool in our museum"
said Mr.. Payne. "Of course, it's
very old now and it won't cut"
"Ah," exclaimed Mr.. Gichner.
mo, it won't cut now and it
never did"
And that, my learned friends, is
where the great copper"temperinS

JAPAN HARD HIT
BY BUSINESS
SLUMP
Nippon in Throes Of Most
Serious Unemployment
Period in History
By LUTHER a. HUSTON.
International News Service.

f. TOKYO, July 22.-Japan is un-
dergoing the worst business de.
preston and the most serious unem-
pIoymcnt period ir her history, ac-
cordina to the Social Work Bureau
Of ths Department Of Home Affairs.
This condition is giving rise to
much, anxiety among leaders Of the
government and social workers,
who fear that a social upheavel
may result unless there is an i'm.
provement in the situation. The
greatest fear is that there will be
a tremendous growth Of radicalism
among the 1aborinK classes which
may become menace to the
Japanese social and governmental
system.
According to a survey by the
Social Work Bureau, there are now
more than 1000, 001 IN Japan's army
Of unemployed. This number takes
into account only those who are
idle because they cannot find work.
It does not include those who are
idle because Of strikes and labor
controversies.
100000 Out On Strike.
It is estimated that there are at
least 100000 workers now on strike
In Japan. During the first six
months of. 1925 there were 4S6
labor disputes, only sixty-eight Of
which had been settled on July /.
Several Of these disputes have been
In progress nearly a year, with lit
tie prospect Of early settlement.
A majority OF these strikes arise
from the demands of laborers for
better working conditions or better
wages. A few are due to non-pay.
ment of wages by employers. The
tendency throughout the entire ma
ton is toward a lower wage scale,
due to widespread depression in in
dustrial circles. Living costs,
meantime, are rising and the result
is that dissatisfaction among the
Wage-earning classes with the exist
ing industrial and social order is de-
clared by observers to be increas-
ing
Seek to Find Remedy.
Among the industrialists the seri-
BUSINESS of the plight of the work
ing classes is recognized, but the
employers contend that they are
powerless to remedy the situation.
Trade conditions, they declare, are
so bad that wage increases are i'm
possible. and maintenance of the
present wage scales imposes an
almost unbearable burden upon the
industries.
Government officials and the va
rious chambers of comm ere e
throughout Japan are endeavoring
to devise means of improving the
industrial situation, but as yet no
effective method of turning the tide
has been found.

HOW 1T STARTED
The Free Lance.
BY JEAN NEWTON.


There are free lances" in many yo-
cations, but the term is familiar
especially with reference to litera-
ture. The man who draws no salary
from any particular publishing house,
who is not attached as an employe
to any publication. but who sells to
or accepts commissions from any
who desire to engage his services for
a particular piece of work, is a free
lance"
The expression is a relic of the
Middle Ages, when it's significance
was literal. Free lances" were un-
attached and rowing companies of
knights and men at arms who travel
ed from one state to another, selling
their services to any lord who would
pay for their aid. In other words.
they were mercenaries.
The "free Iances" played their most
prominent part in Italy, where they
were known is condottieri During
the later Middle Ages they were ia
miliar in Europe, also, under the
name of Braboncons. from the fact
that large bands of mercenaries from
Brabant were raised by William of
Ypres in 1135 for Stephen of Blois,
the claimant of the English crown
The name. first applied only to the
hirelings from Brabant, soon came to
be employed for mercenaries in gem
eral. 1t is in the term free lance
however. that the gentry have sur

How to Make Stitches.
Double crochet is a stitch made by
| putting the thread once over the
needle on which there is already one
loop or stitch, putting the needle
| through stitch of the chain or loop
in a row below, and drawing the
| thread first through two of the loops
on the needle. then, again. catching
the thread with the hook and draw
ing II through the two remaining
loops. I may say that single GRO
chet is made in the same way as dc
only the thread is not put over the
needle, which makes the stitch short
er or single. This stitch is not one
of the regular filet stitches, how
ever. Dc is
Spnce or Square.
A space is the hole that comes be-
tween two dc (called posts). The
space is made by a dc over a dc in
previous row, then two chain stitches
that will come above the two ch in
previous row, and then do forming
the post that makes the finished
square or space limit.
How Blocks Are Formed.
block is made by filing in
square or space with dc 1t takes
four dc to make a first bk and every
separate bk. II two blk come togeth-
er the dc forming them are but seven
and not eight, because one of the
posts (the center one) is common to
each 1t comes exactly above the
middle post of the previous row. If
this were not so the filet would not
continue to have an equal number
of stitches in each row of a square
motif.
Slip stitch.
Occasionally the term slip stitch is
used in filet where edging is uneven
or stepped The abbreviation is
ST. st. It is made by drawing the
thread through stitches of the work
already done until it comes to the
place where another stitch in the
work should be made. This neces-
sarily adds thickness to the crochet
ing, but it is the one way to get the
thread most invisibly where IT is
needed The thread may be broken
where the work ended and started again
where the thread should be taken up.
This leaves loose end of thread to
conceal and also a knot to mar the
work where the thread is Joined TO
the crocheting. The slip stitch is
the best solution. \ star 90 means
repeat from it to the place desig-
mated.
Tension of Thread.
If the work is done at the right
even tension a square of fflet crochet,
whether 1t is large or small, will
measure the same (approXim ately)
on all sides. If the Crocheting is
unevenly done-that is, if the tension
of the thread is sometimes loose and
sometimes tight when crocheting-the
work may be wider than it is long.
or just the reverse. When a design
has an equal number of spaces and
blocks in width and height, how
ever. a design may be disposed, and
measures square in a pattern, it
should come out a square in the
actual crocheting. F'ilet work is
made according to mathematical cal
Culations, and if it does not come out
true to measurements the crocheter
may be reasonably sure that the fault
lies in the tension being uneven as
she works, or that she crochets too
loosely.

1t was very becoming and the girl
knew that she looked beautiful in it,
After this she was lazier than ever.

and gave her a good beating The
girl was not too lazy to cry, and this
she did so loudly that she could be

Now, will you work." asked the

This is the pretty dress that the
mother spun and dyed for her un-

there are many coarse designs that
are effective and which our own home
aeedlewomen can make without TAX
ing more time than other fancy work.
Nevertheless, filet crochet is decid-
edly quick work compared with it.
Filet crochet lace follows the same
square mesh, but instead of putting
the design in with a separate thread
the motifs are crocheted in the lace
as it is made. While It was origi-
hated as a copy of the old needle
point lace, it is a distinct kind of
lace and is handmade. The differ
ence Is in the instrument. Real filet
lace is needlepoint. F'ilet crochet lace

how it is made we shall now consider.

The first requirement is to under

make them and the authorizations or

used in tilet are those meaning chain,
