4 ham Palace in full state tc
Westminster, using the great
ceremonial. state coach, drawn by eight
horses, with positions clad in scarlet
and gold. The coach, which. is used
only for coronations and state open
ings of Parliament, weighs An tons. II
was built in 1851 for the coronation OF
George III, and the work Of the coach
builders was so thorough and SubStan'
tial that some of the original giltwork
and upholstery still remain. The run
ming gear and body, of course, are prac-
tically unimpaired. The interior walls
of the vehicle and the seats for the
King and Queen are upholstered IN
crimson silk, and on the exterior Of the
panels are paintings by an Italian
master.
Japanese Woman Students
Strike for Higher Education.
Japan Advertiser, Tokio.-Student OF
the japan Women's College are now or
a strike, demanding that the manage
ment cancel its proposed decision to
abolish the university department, be-
cause that decision, If carried out
would be fatal to the long-cherishe6
desire of the students for the elevation
of the college to full university status
they say.
The girls excitement recently al
most amounted to hysteria. In cam
paign to defeat the arrangements pro-
pOSal, the Student Committee made
representation to the minister Of educa-
ton, Mr.. Ryuzo Tanaka, to ask him II
anything could be done at this time.
School authorities, however, declared
that they have the same wish, but that
the present financial condition OF the
school prohibits not only extension OF
the school, but even maintenance OF the
present status. But the excited girls re-
fused to listen to the explanation.

Residents Panied by
Jest at Bus Service.
Evening Times, Glasgow.-Residen
out Victoria Park way express surprise
and pain that should Jest over the
inadequacy of their bus service. The
position Is so serious, they tell me, that
| In order to draw attention to their
plight, Victoria Park passengers con-
template a campaign. The main feature
OF this will be, when standing for the
normal 20 minutes waiting for q bus
they will all weep loudly. and when
refused q passage on a crowded bus,
as they always are, they viii burst into
Mysteries.
Uruguay Citizens Lose
In Wildcat Schemes.
Impartial, Montevideo.-As far as
monetary losses are concerned, IL Is
conlectural whether people Of this cap
| ital lose as much to desperate robbers
and housebreakers as they do to suave,
gentle and neatly clothed swindlers. A
Vagabond may break into your house
and run off with your pocketbook, but
the elegantly dressed bandit that comes
| into your office and sells you bonds OF
stocks, or perhaps persuades you to sign
your name to a note or a contract
steals from you a hundred times as
much in the scourse of q year. No one
should invest IN any lands or SecuFi-
ties, however eulogized by the agents OF
sale, until he has investigated the merits
and values of the offerings and secured
the disinterested opinions Of other per-
sons well informed upon such subjects

AirpIane Prices Fall.
Food Remains High.
Berliner Tageblatt-Who would have
believed that in the midst Of all this
economic depression prices Of commod-
tiles would remain as high as they were
when wages were at their best? Those
| who had faith that o decline in earn
ings would be followed by a relative
decline in the prices of necessities see
clearly now that they were living in
a FOOLS. or, rather, in radicals para
disc. But for all that, way appears
out Of the difhculty. There has been 81
least one decline in prioes-a beginning
has been made, and the betterment viii
be borne on the first and on every othel
wind that blows. For this relief Is one
that really comes out of the air and
out Of the highest vaults of the blue
And, paradoxically, under these new
conditions the fluctuations in the prices
of commodities will really mean very
little to us. We shall have our mind:
on higher things-pot on rolls anC
spinach! We shall all have but the ONT
Wish-an airship!
For planes are falling everywhere
that Is, in price. The Deutsche Luft.
