Special Assembly
At Central OF
Interest

An electrical display was pre-
sented to the students of Central
high school and junior college at
an assembly Thursday afternoon
when Lewis Hoskins presented his
amazing showing of electric light
beams. HOSkins has appeared at
the Chicago Worlds Fair and at
the San Diego exposition, where
he was received with great ac-
claim.
The magic eye was demonstrated
showing how different types OF
light affected it. A method Of
making car headlights easier on
the eyes of the oncoming cars
was demonstrated, the same sme-
thod also being used in stage light
ing to get different effects. Hos
kins also showed how light beams
may be heard.
AS a finishing feature to the
program Hoskins showed how a
picture. printed on a piece of cloth
with special chemicals could not
be. seen in an ordinary light, but
when a black light was turned on
It,, the picture was Immediately
visible.
This program was the second in
series planned for this year, the
first of which was Jack Rank, a
quick-change artist presented ear
her In the year. Hoskins' display
was of especial value to those in
terested in electricity, but was ex-
planned in such simples Language
that it was interesting and intel
ligible to all.

DEMOCRACY IN JAPAN

The japanese ambassador to this
country, Mr. Hirosi Saito, often com
ments upon the democracy Of his country
Recently he said that democracy IS deep
" rooted in the rock-rigged SOIL Of Japan.
Il may be so. However, Americans
find It hard to understand the pre-
ponderant influence Of the Army and
Navy in Japanese political affairss
The Diet, as readers probably known,
met January 10th On It's opening day the
Army wished TO dissolve the body but
necessary appropriations had to be made
and 50 the members were allowed to SIT
As soon as the budget and other important
bills were passed the Navy Minister took
the initiative in discipling the political
parties and the Diet was dissolved by the
Cabinet, which made surprise move on
the last day of the session.
The two chief parties were pressing
for revision of the electoral law, which
they think gave the Government too much
control Of Parliamentary elections. A new
election viii take place on April Both and
close observers think that the army ard
navy leaders may get surprise in the
election Of more liberal Diet.
While we consider the interference Of
the officers high-handed We must remem-
Der that democracy is not an old instftu-
ton in Japan, which, but little more than
q century ago, was living in medieval sim
pIicity. 1t is more of surprise that the
Japanese people, in the short space, have
50 rapidly imbued some of the democratic
government Encouragement comes from
the fact that even the army and navy
groups bow to the Diets power of making
appropriations and so long as this is not
altered democracy in Japan will make
progress

WE'D AND LIVE LONGER

It seems to have been quite thorough
" established that married persons live
longer than the unmarried, and this is es-
peciaIly true of men. This fact is borne
out by an exhaustive survey by one of the
country's largest life insurance companies,
the results of which were made public a
few days ago.
During the period covered by the sur
vey the company's actuaries found that
while the risk of death varies greatly
among the single, the married and the
widowed, one rule holds good consistent
~, that the married male is. favored over
the unmarried in the matter of long life.
In fact, it is stated that between the
ages of 80 and As the mortality rate among
married men is less than half of that
among those who are single.
Married women, too, as rule live
longer than their unmarried sisters, but
the difference is not so marked as in the
case of men. The death rate at ages be-
tween 30 and 65 is about 10 per cent less
for married than for single women.
Young wives, however. at ages from
20 to "a show mortality rate slightly
higher than that for single women of the
same ages. This is due, it is said, to the
hazards Of bearing crildren. :
1iee The foregoing findings, it is said, arg
in keeping with the experiences of othef
insurance companies which have made
similar surveys from tine to time. Z

A LESION FROM THE WAR

Twenty years ago the people of the
United States were facing participation in
the World War. Congress had just pass
ed the Declaration and the nation was
finding out, for the first time, that unless
men were sent abroad the Allied cause
was all but lost.
It is worth while to learn few les
sons from the encounter, if possible. One
of the striking Examinations is that, while
we went to war to protect our shipping
from German submarine depredations, our
chief contribution was aghuge~RarmNz in
France. The point being that our ship
ping interests cosld have slSeelf protected
by warships alone and the lesson g being
that if our shipping is attacked ? IN the
future and we decide to protect it, the
navy is the weapon for the occasion.
Rear Admiral w. N. Phelps. retired,
points out this way clearly when he says
"a few hundred millions put into augment
ed sea power would have beaten down the
German submarine" Thus, if we ever
have occasion to protect shipping in the
future, let us do it with sea power, not an
army of men in foreign country, trying
to overthrow another government.
