TELEPHONES IN JAPAN

Any person who complains If he
has to wait several days to have his
telephone installed, should read the
experience of an American woman
who has gone to japan to live. In
Japan, the telephone system is owned
by the government. She writes:
Il have given up hope Of having a
telephone. THAT utility deemed q
necessity in America is a luxury in
Japan that only the rich can afford.
In Toxic telephone subscribers must
buy the instrument itself, paying for
it all the way from one thousand to
four or five thousand yen. And after
one has bought a telephone and paid
for ii, one must pay the usual month
ly fee for service. OF course, tele-
phone owners may sell their phones

KEEPING COOL WITH COOLIDGE

With the Inauguration this week of President Coo
dge serve the full term of four years, national gov
eminent affairs and business all the United States
will settle down to frmer and more normal condition
than has been for the past two years The sudden
death Of President Harding that placed and
tried man the position Of chief executive had disquet
ing effect everywhere and the uncertainty OF the presl
dental campaign made conditions still worse. The
poses of weaknesses and worse among Of the higa
est government officials also helped to create feeling
of distfst and alarm SO that is wonder that many
had cause and reason to feel that the year of 1924 did
not prove very satisfactory We do not imagine
that the wheels of progress and industry are gong TO
start turning everywhere at once now fact expect
to see the Coolidge administration less spectacular than
any the past few terms and that the average business
man and citizen will find that he has to keep grinding
on in the same old fashion but at that believe they
will find conditions far better than they would had the
election of November failed in definitely electlng
president thereby causing it to be made in Congress,
and far we concerned had much rather take
chance with President Coolidge than any choice That
would have been made by that body.

proof that the big majority of the American people firm

 Away to bad start, Grimes hasn't been able to hit his right stride all season. Here and there he has displayed flashes of his old form but there has been little or no consistency to his performance.
 His pitching has been cratic Cns day his work has looked first class only to do a complete reverse and have his offerings batted all over the lot the next time out.
 Frankly, Grimes has been one et the biggest disappo!ntments ot the season.
