'ARTY YOUTHS IN
 JAPAN ARE MODERN
They Have Their Own Green
 Wich Village Styles

Tokyo, Oct. 15 LP - Long-haired men and short-haired women are one Of the latest phases of Japan's gropings toward modernism.
 The police, always on the hunt for those with "dangeroue thoughts" are watching these young imitation Greenwich Villagers with more or less suspicion, although the only thing they have found on them" up to the present is that they seem to be jobbless and to have a distinct leaning toward art
 Costumes Of All Hues
 Young men. with lengthy black hair obscuring the place where their collars should be. garbed in extreme ly nondescript costumes, promenade up and down the Ginza-Tokyos S Broadway-and loaf around the tiny hole-in-the-wall cafes. Most Of them go bare-headed. They usually wear a disreputable looking blouse and a pair Of extreme Oxford bags which flap gaily in the evening breeze as they batter blithely along the street by the side of their bob bed-haired little friend"
 Roll 'Em And Bob 'Em
 These young women of Tokyo are entirely new" so far as the other natives are concerned. They wear their raven locks in every conceiv- able mode. ranging from the "shin- gle" to the "boyish bob" Sometimes they wear the garish kinono of the geisha, and then again they appear in knee-length skirts, rolled stock ings and saucy little hats perched over one ear. How they live is a mystery, although it Is said that many of them are stenographers or waitresses who play at art when they are not working.
 Not far from the Ginza there is little so-called artists colony" ," where these ultra-modern Japanese boys and girls lounge around easels smoke numerous cigarettes, absorb great quantities Of tea and other wise "express their soulc."

Poi and Salmon Are
 Best Dish of Hawaiians

Honolulu, Oct. 15 tP - The trouble with serving the Hawaiian national dishes-poi and lomilomi salmon-in other parts of the world Is that few persons born outside the Hawaiian islands like poi.
 Poi, however, is the Hawaiian staff of life. Everything the old time Hawaiians eat is served as a side dish to poi. It is gray, paste like material, made by pounding the root of the taro plant. It is eaten with the fingers, and choice deter mines it's thickness. It may be of one-finger, two-finger or three-fing- CT consistency.
 The preparation of lomilomi sal mon is simple. Uncooked salt sal mon Is picked into small bits. Chop ped tomatoes and onions are added.
 By no means are poi and lomi- lomi salmon mixed. It is culinary sacrilege in Hawaii to take poi other than straight

ANTI.RUN FORCES
 ON DUTY IN 1905
Hard Liquor Drinkers FrOWned
 Upon Even Then

Simsbury. Conn. Oct, IS CF)-Hard liquor drinking in the young United States was frowned upon by cold water advocates as early as 1895 for correspondence just brought to light tells of the formation of a temper ance society in that year claim for which is made that it was the first of its kind in this country.
 The body called itself the Sims bury Aquatic society, although it had nothing to do with swimming.
 Had Fighting Spirit"
 The correspondence was brought out by Nathan L. Miller of Bloom field, grandson of Benjamin Ely, author of the records and letters, and clerk of the society. The letters showed that the "drys" of 1895 were fully as earnest in their efforts to promote sobriety through non-use of liquors as those of the present generation, and they had the fight ing spirit in trying to enforce their rules.
 The notes tell Of early skirmishes Of prohibtionists of that day, who were treated with contempt and scorn by most of their neighbors. Although the letters fail to reveal the total membership of the society one dated August IS, 1895. showed that three kept their vows.
 In an early letter Mir. Ely suggest cd that the cooperation of school teachers be sought in the movement, saying: There would be an end of balls, gambling, tavern-hunting etc, and the money now wasted in these wicked vanities would be laid out in the purchase of useful books and the time employed in reading"
 Pared Better" After Pledge
 Another exhibit is one Ito Asa. Humphrey-about 25th June 1S05," entitled, First Book of the Chron- icles of the Aquatics Chapt. S1st." This letter, written in biblical phraseology told of q neighbor who, having taken the pledge fared much better physically, mentally and financially. It warned against one Jesse who hath joined himself to R. L. M."
 The hope that the society may "continue and increase till all the Copper Stills in America shall be coined into cents is expressed in another letter. The letters showed that a temperance pledge was re- newed monthly. Other requirements for membership were: that a mem Der guilty of profane swearing should be admonished for the first ofcnse and expelled for the second; that each member should read at least thirty-one chapters of the Bible monthly. and that each should read something composed by himself, or relate q story he had read in some book, or pay a fine of three cents.

FRESH WATER HAS
 HATCH OF NUSSEL
Important Biological Problem Is
 Given Test

Washington, Oct. F P-A solu- ton of a baffling but industrially important biological problem was measurably approached this sum mer by research work at the Bureau of Fisheries station at Fairport, Iowa. -
 Dr. NJ. M Ellis of the University of Missouri successfully matched out in a special culture, at the end of a series of experiments, the embryonic spawn Of the fresh water mussel.
 Shells Are Valuable
 A sedentary, inedlble and unat- tractive creature from most view points, the mussel ordinarily inhabits the mud bottoms of the Mississippi and tributary rivers in the middle west. In rare cases it secretes a true but misshapen pearl within it's shell, and has long been hunted out be- cause of the trait. In recent years, however, it's entire shell has been found satisfactory raw material for the manufacture of pearl buttons.
 Some time ago, it became ap- parent that the drafts of shell-using industry upon the natural stock of mussels was rapidly eXhausting the supply. The governments scientists began to study the possibilities of artificial propagation, and ran into an almost insurmountable obstacle. Nature had but one way of bringing up baby mussels, it was discovered, and that was through the use of most weird and undupliCatable floating incubator.
 Produce Pearls
 While the parent mussel released uncountable myriads of embryonic spawn annually, only such insignifi- cant proportions of the progeny have ever survived as could attach themselves by accident to the gills and inner jaws of certain fishes, on which they had to live for six weeks as parasites At the end of that period, if they succeeded in de- taching themselves and dropping upon a mud bottom, evading the NllillNS ol bCllillo ilIIp tIlS uA jacent stomach of tho hungry incu- bator fish, they attained a normal life and perhaps produced a pearl or fabricated the fastening for a blouse.
 Until success this summer reward ed Dr. Hills work, no mussel ever came through it's first summer with out the intervention of the chance sent fish foster mother. There are still some details of the new arti- ficial propagation process to work out, but the fishery experts on the basis of success achieved now have considerable hope that the mussel supply can again be built up, and placed upon the firm foundation that has been given by scientific research to the growing of oysters and the matching of salmon.

American epresentatiyes of Ger man pig iron producers have been advised Of an advance Of 50 cents a ton. the third increase in recent weeks.

IMPORTANT ISSUES
 FLOODING MARKET
RumOrS Of SlaCkening Business
 Affects Dealings

New York, Oct. Is. Pl-A formid- able selling movement swept over the stock market to-day as specu- lative uneasiness was aroused by predictions of slackening business and the latest epidemic of competi- tive price cutting in the motor in dustry, standard railroad and indus trial issues. as well as the more speculative shares, were thrown on the market in large volume, with price declines in the most active stocks ranging from to an ex- treme Of more than 13 points.
 The agsressiveness which marked the renewal of the bear attack was illustrated by the sharp break of 5 points in '. s. Steel. which carried it to the lowest price on the current movement, around 13Sls. Similar declines were recorded by Bald win. Pullman. Hudson Motors Woolworth and Atlantic Coast line while Commercial Solvents "B". Dupont and L. s. Cast Iron Pipe sold to 1872 points lower in the early afternoon.
 AS the selling movement gained headway. numerous stop-loss orders were uncovered and there were in dications of considerable distress selling. Liquidation of the motors followed the announcement of an other price reduction by Hudson, with this stock dropping to a new low for the year along with Mack Trucks, Moon and Federal Motor Truck. Selling also was influenced by signs of decreasing business re- fected in the curtailment Of steel buying by the large manufacturers.
 Trading expanded on the decline, with sales running at a rate which promised a turnover well above 100000 shares.
 Another sharp break of more than q cent an ounce in the price of silver today carried the New York quotation 10 the lowest level in five years, at 5i cents an ounce. In the London market silver sold at the lowest price in more than decade.

 Help With Dietetics

Atlantic City, Oct. Is LIp - Per sons showing a partiality for color ed food are observing one of the soundest rules of dietetics, said Miss A. Deane Dowell, home service counselor of the American Gas As sociation, in an address made before it's convention today.
 Yellow milk and butter are not only more pleasing to the sight" Miss Dowell declared. but they con- tain a higher proportion of vitamin A than the white products. The same applies to green vegetables, as they are richer in vitamin c than the bleached varieties.

Branded Girl Who tilted
 Him: Old Custom Failed

Tokyo, Oct. 5 LP-The quaint ko- rean custom of carving a design on the neck of a girl who has tilted her sweetheart was frowned upon by the Tokyo Appeal Court when it sentenced Lyu Tetsufuk to IS months Imprisonment for murder ous assault on q girl in Moji, Korea.
 Lyu's defense was that he had been engaged to the girl, but she had found a handsomer man and left him.

The court ruled, however, that the carving custom had no standing in law and Lyu was committed to prison.
