 THE ANGRY SPIRIT

TOKYO, June 1S-Despite the fact that the head of Taira-no- Masakado, a reyolter against the government. was removed 2 thous- and years ago by the lord high executioner. if seems th1s his spirit has been causing all sorts of trouble to the finance minis try at Otemachi.
 The ministry noted that Finance Minister Hayami died shortly af- ter assuming the portfolio, that Dr. yabashi, chief of engineering. passed and that 30 or 40 officials had become invalids within a few years.
 investigation disclosed that the finance building, a temporary structure erected after the 1923 earthquake, had been built square, ly on top of MasakadO's grave. at the site of the old shrine of Myo jim.
 The conclusion was obvious. All the bad luck was the result of the rebels spirit resenting the building over his resting place.

Clean Collars, Shirts,
 Now Are Rented Abroad


 NEW YORK, June 1S-Office workers here who have been ac- customed to having clean towels supplied weekly without giving thought to the laundering process are wondering how soon the idea will spread to collars and shirts.
 Already a Paris chain of haber- dashers is supplying customers with clean linen at fixed annual charge, offering various classes of service from one or two clean shirts and six collars week to an unlimited number for the more fastidious. The stores remain owners of the linen and attend to the laundering of soiled apparel, asking the customer only to select clean shirts and collars from the fresh stock and to pay his bill.
 A London merchant has applied the idea to collars, but hasn't yet reached the shirt stage. His GUS toners pay for each collar taken out, the charge being slightly above that the wearer would pay for laundry service.

 This decision was reached by the Household department, which has charge of all the rules and regulations pertaining to the en. thfonoment. afier consultation with foreign envoys who win rep resent their countries at the func- tion.
 Extremely short skirts and low cut frocks, the Household officials explained, were not in line with Japanese customs and inappropri- ate to the solemnity of the cere- monies. So the wives and daugh- ters of the foreign diplomats must govern themselves accord ingly.

"FOR WIVES ONLY" IS
 BIG TREAT AT PALACE

One of the most charming com edies presented here in many a month is For Wives Only" star ring Marie Provost and featuring Victor Varconi, who made such hit in Cecil B. De Miles pro duction, The Volga Boatman. was accorded an ovation at the Palace last night. It fully de- served the plaudits it evoked and 1t may be recommended as one of the cleanest and most enjoy able photoplays produced thus far this season.
 Miss Provost is delightful and quite artistic as the wife of a physician of Vienna who, conn pelled to leave town on busi- ness trip, leaves his bride in tho care of three of his best friends. They at once. abuse their trust but never extensively, so that sub sequspt happenings provoke laughs ter rather than hostility. Miss Provost plays with her amorous admirers as a cat does with a Wouse and never loses control of herself There are numerous comedy scenes. all of which keep the audience in good humor to the close.

BRYAN LOST DEMOCRATS
 EAST, BIOCRAPHER SAYS

NEW YORK. June 1S-Such was tho effect of William Jenn- ings Bryan on the destinies of the Democratic party that the east. ern seaboard was lost to it dur. ing his political lifetime, a new biography, Bryan the Great Com. mOner," sets forth.
 New York, New Jersey and Connecticut had gone Democratic in pre- Bryan days, the b;ographer, J. c. Long, magazine writer, brings out. He hazards the be. lief that Bryan could possibly have won the eastern support in 1924 in spite of the events in Madison Square Garden.
 Discussing the attitude of "Thc Peerless Leader on the subject of tolerance, the biographer quotes Bryan's telegram to an Omaha newspaper, dated at Weeping Wa ter, Neb., Oct IS, 1890, when he was first running for congress.
 "I belong to the Presbyterian church, but do not belong to any anti-Catholic society," the tele. gram reads. '1 respect every mans right to worship Cod ac- cording to his own conscience"
 Bryan, while always a teetotal. CT. did not actively become a DO litical dry until he came cut for county option in 1908, Long re. calls.
 Describing Bryan as "a cross between St. George and Don Quix- ote," the biographer says he was flor 90 years the voice of the nations conscience" and that his contribution to his age was pri- marily his belief in the inheren. dignity Of the common man.

HOUDINrS
 SECRET IS
 GIVEN OUT

NEW YORK. June 1S-Conquest of fear and "tortuous self train. ing" were the secret Of tha late Harry Houdini's feats of physical endurance, a new biography oi the magician reveals.
 It was an attempt to test his endurance that resulted in his death. the biographar, Haro;n Eel lock, declares. An accijal.ci blow delivered by a university student at Montreal, keliock writes. resulted in a gangrenous appendix, from which the eonmr- CT died. Mrs. Beatrice Houdini, whose recollections and. docu- ments were used by the biogra- pher, refrained from telling the real story, he says, to save the feelings of the student.
 Houdini, whose real name was Erich Weiss. is described as has. ing been a 'rabbinical puritan. with much sentimentalism in his makeup, and a streak of mysti- cism." His crusade against fraud ulent mediums was inspired by unsuccessful attempts to get q message from his mother after her death in 1913.
 Few of Houdini's secrets are told, but it is revealed that in one instance he escaped from steel casket with the aid of picklock fastened to the. sole of his left

 seaplanes call for pontoons having structure sufficiently strong to withstand a shock on landing of 15 pounds to the square inch. Measurements made here with delicate instruments attached to various points on the floating sur face of pontoons in operation, however, show that only seven pounds of pressure is exerted to the square inch, suggesting that their strength can easily be re- duced with material saving in weight and a corresponding i'm provement in performance and endurance in the air.
