Carter Mortuary JUNEAU "“We Are Always Ready”’ accompanied returned tol and from | their residence in Juneau by plane' by Sheldon Simmons this from the Polaris-Taku HE SELDOM GETS OUT Kang Teh has been out of Mukden. By JAMES A. MILLS | HSINKING, Manchukuo, Nov. 30 |—Emperor Kang Teh of Manchou- {kuo, the “empire” which Japan has set up in Manchuria, has been de- scribed as the “loneliest and most |isolated monarch in the world.” | Other kings live in great marble palaces, surrounded by courtiers, brilliant members of court and so- ciety. But Henry Pu-Yi, as the em- peror was known after he lost the renowned dragon throne in China lives quietly and almost alone in the old salt administration build- ing which the Chinese abandoned here years ago. This building resembies a barn more than a palace, yet the demo- cratic young emperor is said to be against the construction of a more suitable domicile until all the other state buildings in this new capital, are completed. Meantime Japan ha ‘hnm a magnificent palace-like home for its ambassador here and |he lives in grander style than tge | emperor. Virtually A Recluse Since his enthronement three years |ago, Emperor Kang Teh, whose name in Chinese means, oble | Virtue,” has been out of Hsinking only three times—once to worship (at the tombs of his ancestry in Muk- den—again to review Manchoukuo's {army and navy at Harbin, and fi- nally to pay a visit to the Emperor of Japan at Tokio. His Majesty, who {is 33 years old, spends the greater |part of his life behind the gray brick .walls of the drab and forbid- ding salt administration building near the Chinese quarter of the vil- lage, where he might well be a re- cluse. ‘The emporer’s Japanese protectors apparently feel that if the “Son of Heaven,” as the emperor is called, ventures out too much, he may ex- pose himself to a possible attack by disgruntled Chinese seeking revenge for the emperor’s alleged betrayal of China in favor of Japan. The walls and gates of the emper- or's solitary home are covered with barbed wire, and charged with elec- tricity. In each of the four corners of the reyal compound, forming a part of the high brick wall around the enclosure, is a staunch black- house, bristling with machine-guns, barbed wire and hand grenades. Of late months the emperor is said to have become more inaccessi- ble than ever. The Japanese au- thorities advance no reason. Dull Existence It was suggested by other Japan- ese informants that the Chinese courtiers around the emperor did not wish him to be bothered by for- eign visitors. The Chinese, on the other hand, declared his Japanese mentors wished to isolate him from foreign influences. In contrast to the dazzling splen- dor in which he lived in Peking, when he was ruler over China's 450,000,000 people and had hun- dreds of concubines, eunuchs, cour~ tiers, and numerous astrologers, Kang Teh now occupies five small rooms in the salt administration building. Virtually his only com- panion is his 30-year-old wife, who, is said to be a semi-invalid. And there are' a few antediluvian Chin- ese philosophers and “wise men"” whom the youthful sovereign saved from the old dynastic regime in Peking when China became a re- public. : His majesty's house is furnished so simply that the visitor might take it to be the home of an Amer- ican workingman in moderate cir- cumstances. The only ornament the visitor would look at twice is the golden thronechair, which was made in Japan. Kang Teh's only recreations ap- parently are tennis, reading and the radio. He is very studious. When he is not absorbed in the study of problems of state, he is. immersed in the classics of Com- fuclous and other Chinese sages. Be- Guards Palace of Lonely Manchoukuan Ruler o i) S My his capital, Hsinking, only three times since he was made Emperor of Manchoukuo three years ago. One of the three was this visit to the tombs of his ancestors at ing an exceedingly orthodox Chin- ese and having seen nothing of the rest of the world, the young sov- ereign orders his whole life and guides the destiny of his subjects by those classical teachings. The emperor has only one wife, and she is his “first love.” He got rid of a second favorite some time ago by settling a considerable sum of money. As his wife is said to be incapable of bearing children, how- ever, the emperor, according to high authorities has been provided with one or two especially selected fem- inine companions. Children by con- cubines may legally succeed to the throne when there are no other male heirs. vt SOCIAL SECURITY EMPLOYER CARDS DUE BY SATURDAY All employers should return their Social Security application cards to the Post Office before December 5, it was announced at the Post Office today, in order that they can be forwarded to Washington on | the next boat. About 250 have been returned so far but there are many more on which early action should be taken, it was stressed. About 300 employee cards have been received by the Post Office but employee cards are not sent out until employer cards are re- turned, thus early return is urged by the Post Office.

Joliet Installs “Electric Eye” to Foil Escapes JOLIET, Ill, Nov. 30.—Since the day two guards politely opened the gates of Joilet prison permitting Convict Henry “Midget” Ferneke to| walk out posing as a visitor, the| State of Illinois has spent more than $20,000 to make the place more fool-proof. | Fernecke, accused of five gun- slayings, was captured in Chicago shortly after his successful ruse and he committed suicide before they could return him’ to Joliet but the ease of his escape moved the state gto make improvements. | “Eléctric eyes” designed to de-| tect metal upon a person, newj fences around the prison entrance and.changes in the guard system are the major improvements. Fernecke's trick cannot be dupli- cated, Warden Ragan says, because a new double registry system has been installed. All visitors have to register when they enter and leave the prison. They have to record their name, ad- dress and the name of the prisoner they are visiting. The handwrit- ing and information must tally in each instance or they don't get out Amity in Textbooks !

This Safe, External Treatment Helps END A COLD Quicker During the night, VapoRub'ka;ps right on working. Often, by morning the worst of the cold is over. Avoids Risk of Stomach Upsets This safe, external treatment cannot possibly upset the stomach, as con- stant internal “dosing” is so apt to do. It can be used freely, as often as needed, even on the youngest child. VICKS Mothers! Look in your VapoRub package for full details of Vicks Plan—a practical home guide to greater freedom froh colds. In clinic tests among 17,353 people, this Plan cut sickness from colds more than haif! Follow Vicks Plan for Better Control of Colds ' The 3-Miniite VappoRub Massage VapoRub briskly on the throat, chest and back (between and below the shoulder blades). Then spread it thick over the chest and cover with warmed cloth. Almost before you finish rubbing, VapoRub starts to bring relief two ways at once—two direct ways: 1. Through the Skin. VapoRub acts direct through the skin like a poultice or plaster. 2. Medicated Vapors. At the same time, its medicated vapors, re- leased by body heat, are breathed in for hours—about 18 times a minute —direct to the irritated air-passages. ‘This combined poultice-and- vapor action loosens phlegm—relieves irritation—helps break congestion.
