From the Detroit News. A wool market is held annually at Patseo, in the wilds of Tibet. The Tibetun owners of sheep barter their flocks for Indian tea and rice and cot- ton goods. These sheep cannot live below 10,000 feet above sea level, and as their wool is in great demand the traders have to bring their commodi- ties on pack ponies, mules and don- keys right up into the heart of the mountains About the middle of July the trad- ers, both parties, converge on to a high valley some 13,000 feet above sea level, and there pitch their re- spective camps. The Tibetan sheep obligingly carry their own wool to | the shearing ground, and emerge slim | and shorn from a mass of fleece, which looks like buffalo robes. These fleeces are rolled into as small a compass as possible, after be- ing wound into tight ropes, and are baled on to the pack animals. But Not All From the London Passing Show.

WESTERN SUITS POPULAR Government Stopped Chanec of Food Habits Change. BY JUNIUS B. WoOD. Correspondence of The Star and the Chicage Daily News. TOKIO, April 1.—The kimono, symbol of Japan, has felt the jolt of the ecarthquake. Though men were gradually adopting the more prac- al western trousers and coats for business wear, and school children had made the change like a well reg- ulated army, the earthquake was the final blow. It wiped out the com- mercial supply around Tokio, the Kimono makers have never caught up, and it is doubtful whether they will ever be required to. Before the quake Theater street, in Yokohama, the shopping district for both cities, had blocks of clothing shops. A few of them displayed western ready- made clothes. The sume shops are rebuilt new stocks of goods and the goods are different. In one block with clothing stores only one con- tinues to offer kimonas. In front of the others hang hand-me-downs for all ages, shapes and sizes of qualities to suit any pocketbook. The assort- ment is complete—sleevy overcoats, loud, pinch-backed jackets, which are alle nobby, durable business suits. The only thing lacking to make it like any American or Eu- roopean city are the wooden-faced dummies with smiles that summer showers cannot off. Nature of Supplies. The relief supplies which were rushed over after the disaster are responsible to some extent. The Japanese government did not want to take the responsibility of chang- ing the national costume. It felt the same wuy about the national diet, Canned fruits, tinned meats and fish, breakfast foods, California rice, which Mr. Hoover so thoughtfully purchased, and many other things Were new to the Japanese of the class which was destitute. Those respons ble for the relicf distribution felt that they would not know how to use them and if they did their standard of liv- ini would be raised out of all propor- tion to their means. The same ap- plied to clothing. Another argument against giving away the supplies was that such i method would not encourage thrift. Whatever the criticism may be made of the Jupanese relief methods it can- aid that the doles were suffi- y large to encourage idleness. It was decided to sell most of the sup- plies and use the cash purchasing lower grade stuff. The American Red Cross and others ented. They were offered in large lots with the usual results when a Kovernment suddenly goes into busi- ness. Some are said to have been sold in China, American Stocks Sold. The stocks of American khaki shirts, Army shoes and blankets, for- eign_style clothing and other knic knacks from distant lands on the Ginza in Tokio today are larger than they were before the earthquake. Ric dried fish, daikon and other compo! s of the meal of the Japanese pro iriat were purchased in such 1 ited quaptities as were needed as the reiief continued. In the meantime, while the plan was being discussed with all the necessary formality, po- tatoes, cabbages and similar perish- able stuffs rotted. One Canadian ship- load of 8.000 tons of lumber, blankets and similar_donations still is reported ored in Yokohama awaiting deliv- ry. The Christian Science Society of the United States is distributing ki- monos in Yokohama to Japanese who come for miles, one of the few foreign relief methods which harmonize with the native tastes. Will Build Howmpital. From the American relief contri- butions, which have been stated as high as $21,000,000 in cash and sup- plies, a balance of more than $2,000,- 600 remains. It has been decided to use this for the construction and endowment of a charity hospital for Japunese in Tokio. Opposition from hospitals which were established be- fore the earthquake, who scraped to- gether emergency equipment and struggled through thosc trying days and whose facilities are now taxed to the utmost. has failed to change that decision. The hospitals which for- eigners established in Tokio and Yokohama _were destroyed. St Luke's has been reopened. Wage Increases Small. vork, is plentiful in Tokio. but the fagbiful stories of fabulous wages a exorbitant prices for living are hffavily discounted by the facts. Trav- elers tell how laborers are receiving 10 ven a day and artisans 20 yen. Possibly several did receive such pay on a rush job for a day or a few hours, but actual figures show a very small increase since the earthquake, smaller than would be expected con- sidering that most of the workers lost their tools, homes and personal effects. With its usual thoroughness, the government, through the police, took a census of all workers in the em- pire who could coras to the stricken area. Some yokels were anxious to come at even less than the former scale of wages. Others wanted more to leave their homes. So far few have been brought in as the perma- nent rebuilding has not started. Similar government action was tal en to prevent an increase in the al- ready exorbitant living costs which even before the quake wer stran- gling Japan’s foreign trade. __The pay rolls of a foreign contract- ing firm which would feel an in- creased wage scale before Japanese employers would, shows the compara- tive daily wage before the earth- quake and today, as follows: Now $4.25 400 3.00 in yen. A yen to- cents in American money, w. months ago it was worth 493 cents. The increased pay had been 11 cents a day. As it takes from four to six to do the work of one working man in the United States, it is not cheap. e Lincoln’s Religion. Author of “Six Months at the White House.” ‘The conversation turned upon re- ligious subjects, and Mr. Lincoln made this impressive remark: “I have never united myself to any church, because I have found difficulty in giving my assent, without mental reservation, to the long, complicated statements of Christian doctrine which charac- terize their article of belief and con- fession of faith. When any church will inscribe over its altar, as its sole qualification for membership, the Savior's condensed statement of the substance of both law and gospel, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.” that church will I join with all my heart and with all my soul.” Many Eyeglasses in the Tropics.

With the vivid mental picture of the gigantic Shrine conclave still faintly lingering, Washington again is preparing to welcome an enormous multitude of visitors, who. in num- ber, will rank second only to the thousands of “nobles” who stormed the Nation’s Capital last June for their annual pilgrimage to Mecca. As the current scholustic year passes into history mext month, be- tween 20,000 and 40,000 of America's leading educators and school teachers will be wending their way to Wash- ington for the sixty-second annual meeting of the Natio 1 ducation Association.

The organization has not| met in Washington since 1898, when| ita membenphip was but a mere handful of educators and teachers in comparison with its strength of 140,000 today. The coming to Washington of these thousands of teachers inevitably will result in improved educational con- ditions here, in the opinion of offi- cials of the association With a plank in its platform favoring a model school system for the Distriot, heads of the natlonal orzanization point out that one of the first steps taken by the visitors upon their ar- rival will ke to inspect the public schools, noting particularly the un- desirable situation which has been complained of repeatedly- by Supt Frank W. Ballou. The message these teachers take back to their com- munities, it was said, undoubtedly will be reflected in the personnel chosen for Congress by the voters in their home distriots. Citizenship In Emphasized. comprehensive program ar- ranged for the convention places special emphasis on relationship of citizenship to government and moral education.

Consideration also will be given to the Sterling-Reed education bill, teaching tenure and retirement sys- tems for teachers. Preparations for housing and enter- taining the st host of visitors have been under way several months. Su- perintendent Eallou, chairman of the local convention committee, has alled numerous committees of hington teachers and educators assist him in the gigantic task of making the visit of the teachers a pleasant as well as a profitable one, «cducationally.
