Nothing Shocking n
Jap's Change Of Attire

In the West we have gentleman's
agreement that disrobing should be
confined to the bedroom and bath
room, or at any rate to some place
behind closed doors. Not so In Japan
One hot day In train travelling from
Kobe to Kyoto l witnessed an Incl.
dent that showed the japanese can
adopt really common-sense attitude
to clothes, writes Harold Butcher In
Cassel's Magazine.
1t was In a third-class carriage. A
few seats ahead Of me was Japanese
passenger who was beginning to feel
the heat. His silk shirt was wet and
clammy. Something must be done
about It'll One could read his mind.
He had his remedy. He stood up
and removed his shirt. Then he found
that his undershirt was also soaked.
He removed that and dried his naked
torso. From his suitcase he produced
clean undershirt and clean, cool
shirt, which he proceeded to don with
perfect unconcern and irreproachable
modesty. AS far as I could Judge he
changed every stitch of clothing with
never a quiver. and finished triumph
antly-a reclothed. revived. rejuvenat-
ed human being. In this hot train In
Japan the whole. affair seemed the
most natural and sensible thing to do
In the circumstances.

Few People Make Best
Use of Their Muscles

Practically every one has from 10
to 20 per cent more muscular strength
than he Is trained to use, Donald A..
Laird says in an article in Hygeia, the
health magazine published by the
American Medical association.
Take the simple matter of lifting a
heavy weight above the head with one
hand for example. II person under.
stands how to use his muscles the
amount that can be raised can be al
most doubled. Suppose that when the
arm is hanging at the side 28 pounds
Is the maximum that can be raised by
bending the arm at the elbow. AS soon
as the forearm Is raised so that 1t Is
at right angles with the upper arm the
weight is handled much more easily.
When the hand carrying the weight
Is further raised so that It Is almost
on a level with the shoulder the same
muscles have an added advantage and
can handle more than 40 pounds.
There is an increase from 26-pound
pull to more than 40-pound pull SIM
ply by a utilization Of the knowledge
Of how the arm muscles and bones
work as mechanical levers and forces.

more. OF course there were disputes
between sellers and buyers, and to set

were called Pied Poudreux courts ;
that is, courts Of the dusty feet. a

Salvation Army Titles

It is to Elijah Cadman, humble
chimney-sweep of Coventry, to whom
the credit for the military, ranks and
titles Of the Salvation army must
really go, writes contributor in Lon.
don Tit-Bits. Once known as "King
of the Roughs." Cadman was convert
ed and became an ardent Salvationist.
He was given charge of a mission
and began to call himself captain
In Gods army to fight the devil" To
mark William Booth as bis superior
officer, Cadman called him general"
And because William Booth knew
well the value Of dramatic appeal
to the popular mind, the titles, after
some hesitation due to modesty on
William Booths own part, were ac-
cepted.

MINING AND FARMING
INTEREST IN MANGANESE

One of the most bitter battles of the
entire tariff bills in the house of Rep
reSentativeS. will be centered on the
manganese schedules. The Senate
has already granted the manganese
producers tariff of one cent pound
metallic manganese over ten percent
ore. This, though giving manganese
the same rate that it enjoyed in the
Fordney McComber Bill, is considered
a victory over the steel groups in view
of the fact that the Senate's action
lowers the percentage on ore. The
previous schedule placed tariff on
80 percent ore.
Virtually every Representative in
the United States will be involved in
the battle for in it is seen the linking
of steel and agriculture. Although
manganese is one of the essential in
gradients in the manufacture of steel,
the major steel interests having Wig
orously opposed the measure This is
because of alleged huge contracts that
the steel industry has signed for Rus
sian manganese.
Agriculture enters prominently into
the field through recent discoveries on
the art of the Department of Agricul-
ture that manganese is an important
factor in the manufacture of cheap
fertilizer.
Manganese interests have shown
that cheap and more productive fer
tilizer can be manufactured from the
wastes of the concentration furnaces.
In view of the fact that low grade
manganese deposits are scattered over
the entire United States the problem
of transporting the fertilizer to the
farmer would be negligible.
