Pre that everybody should pra “Bargains Upon Hanor” the motto adopted by the mer- chants of Norwich wil§ be lived It is a fact that the stores of Norwich are noed far and wide for the high quality and the great variety of goods which stock their shelves and counters. Articles of every description can be had for the asking as a tour of the local stores will reveal. Bargains seldom found in even try are today advertised in these columns by local merchants. And every shopper who visits Norwich has the satisfaction of knowing that the goods he has purchased are just as repre- | sented because the merchants of Norwich have ever made it a point to stand back of their wares, ‘ ALL STORES TO OPENAT9 A. M. _ The agreement amongst the subscribers to the Dollar Day movement not to open for business until 9 a. m. is a feature of the Dollar Day announcement that should appeal to sub- urban patrons. If the stores were to open at an earlier hour some of the out of town buyers would be unable to be on hand and would perhaps feel that some of the best bargains had been snapped up by the early prospector. stores opening at 9 a. m. sharp everybody can be on hand to share equally in the big offers of the day. The public should bear in tically all subscribers to the Dollar Day movement have adopted; viz. na mail or telephone orders fill be received for these Dollar Day special offerings. cult for the public to understand why this policy is necessary. The Dollar Day plan is a move- ment to advertise the advantages of Norwich as a trading center for Eastern Connecticut. the city and visit the stores much of the advertising value of the movement will be lost. Again, many of the Dollar Day special offerings are limited in quantity and it would be more than unfair to allow patrons to order by telephone some of the best values in the stores and disapppint customers who, pos- sibly at great personal inconvenience, have come to the city at the opening hour for the express purpose of securing some Here is the explanation: of these goods.

That Japanese institutions have passed through three stages of evolu- tion—those of imitation, adaptation, and finally, origination—was the the- ory advanced by Baron Kentaro Kane- ko in a recent bulletin of the National Geographic society. Having applied this theory to the Japanese written language, and to the Japanese religion, Baron Kaneko seeks to show, in the following bulletin, how it holds good in respect t the country’s Ppolitical history. “In the sphere of government and law we find the same three stages of evolution. After the introduction of Chinese civilization our governmental organization was moulded after the fashion of the governmental system of the To dynasty of China. “In the year 701 A. D. we recrgan- ized the departments of our govern- ment in accordance with the principles and forms of the Chinese system, and adopted the Chinese law in every branch of our national affairs. At the palace the emperor as well as the petty officials wora the Chinese head- gear and gown. We blindly imitated everything Chinese. This new regime for the organization of the Japanese Empire was embodied in the laws of | the Taiho era (701 A. D.); but this wholesalé change in the political insti- | frarttord is authorized tution was too much for Japan to car- ry out at that time. laws were only executed around the capitol of Kioto, and were not carried | out in the remote parts of the country. “But the Hojo dynasty, the second military Shogunate of Japan's feudal- ism, discovered the weakness and de- fects in the laws of Taiho, because the| laws of a foreign country could never be executed in toto, for the simple reason that every nation has tradi- tional laws of its own which _every law-giver must not disregard. Ther fore Takatoki Hojo, a great states investigated the old customs and ditions of Japan and modified the Ch nese-imitation laws of the Taiho era S0 as to meet the requirements of the country. “This compilation of the customs -and tradi. | tions of old Japan, which was promul- gated in the fifty articles of Telyel era modification is found in a FREE AUTO DELIVERY | 1 QUART TAINER Bulletin Building CLEANERS DYERS 150 Main Street, in Postal-Telegraph Office Telephone Call 743-2.

SHEA, Prop. Union Square. (1232 A. D). This is something lNke the Justinian Roman laws compiled in the reign of Emperor Justinian, is period we call the era of adaptation' in our legal evolution. ‘“No doubt the American public will be much inierested to know that as leng ago as the year 1232 A. D. a Jap- anese statesman made the laws in touch with the popular feeling, for by the laws of the Teivei era he estab- shed a council of state with twelve judges, the same number as the Eng- lish jury. - » “We began to reorganize our country in 1868. Since the imperial restora- tion we have studied the systems of government of the United States ana European countries. As you have di- vided your government into different departments, we divided our govern- ment into similar departments. We adopted a-compulsory system of na- tional education, exactly on the same plan as your common school system, of eight years of compuisory educa- tion. A hoy and girl wmust attend school as soon as they attain the age of six, and remain there until the age of fourteen. “The first four years we teach them the Japanese and Chinese-lansuages, and the latter four years we add Engz-| VM lish: therefore when a boy and girl graduate from our common schools they can read and speak English. By teaching the Chinese and English lan- guages besides our own we bring up a new generation prepared to seek knowledge in the onter world as com- manded by the emperor. “In_finance we copied your system by adopting your gold, silver, nickel and copper money, and we went 50 far as to eouy the greenbacks from vou Our first paner money was made and | printed in New “York in 870, and if vou will take up thase old Japanese greenbacks yvou will find them exactly the same as yours, and no difference exeebt in the writing. SAYS ELEVEN CENTS IS FAIR PRICE FOR SUGAR The Inquiry into food and clothing prices in Connecticut tcok a new turn Monday, when it became known that federal agents, acting under instruc- tions from the office of United States Atterney-General Palmer at Washing- ton, would find out just how much sugar there was in the state. The purpose of the inquiry is_to de- termine whether there is any con- certed effort to decrease the amount of sugar for sale as a means of raising | the price to retailers and consumer- | If any attemnt to withhold sugar from | sale is disclosed. the office of the United States district attorney in to prosecute under the food act. i Drastic regulation of food and clothing nrices is contemplated. Rob- ert Scoville, former federal food ad- | ministratar for Connecticut, has been | requested by Attorney General Pal- mer to revive enough of his rtate or- =anization to attempt a marked re- duction in prices. A representative of the drygzoods trade wiil also be anpointed. Mr. Seo- ville telegranhed Mr. Palmer Monday recommending thet not more than two zeneral committees be appointed districts, Hartford and New Haven. It is understood that a committee will be apnointed to supervise prices and food supplies in Hartford. Tt is the plan of this committee to publish faic price lists in Hartford newspa- pers that consumers may know what retail and wholesale dealers should charge. It is expected that public opinjon would have a correcting ten- dency in the case of much over- charging. Mr. Scoville said Monday that he had not appointed this committee. Je will confer with Governor Holcomb Tuesday, also with United States Dis- trict Attorney Crosby, who is at pres- ent out of the city. “Sugar,” said Mr. Secaville, “will re- ceive =pecial nttention.” Asked ‘if he knew anything definite about the situation there, he replied: “No, but I know" it needs some at- tention.” Prices decided upon by Mr. Sco- ville'’s committee, allowing a “fair margin of profit,” will be prevalent all Lord Astor A Mystery Corvment Pusss Viscount Astor, formerly Ameri- can Minister te Italy, smd naw a peer of Brijain, is living In such seclusion. at Brighton.

He declared the state is so small that the two committees can control ' retail and wholesale prices without regard for districts save those with peculiar problems of their own. Plans are underway for a statewide investigation of hoarders and manipu- lators, in conformity, with the govern- ment's announcement. The order received from the attor- ney generai's office says that all re- tailers and whoiesalers handling more than 100.000 pounds of sugar annual- ly are subject to a license under the food act. In ease the United States attorney finds any difficulty in bring- ing the hoarders and profiteers ta jus- tice, he will use the right to revoke such licenses. This means that any of the larger firms will be stopped from doing business, if they are guil- ty of price fixing, by an arbitrary or- der of the United States attorney. The order says that dealers who charge an unreasonable. exorbitant or unfair commission, profit or . storage fee are liakle to prosecution. It is also prohibites for them to make resales within the_same trade for the purpose of raising the market price of to consumers and retailers, and such’ ac- tion will be dealt with as an unfair practice.

The order is dated Aug. 9. and its provisions will be immediately carried out by the United States attormey's office.

The work of investigation, he said, began Monday morning. The state food committee which served during the war, and which di- rected the operations of administrators of 168 towns in the state, was headed by Mr. Scoville, and included George M. Banders of New Britain, Joseph H. Lawler of Hartford, who acted as legal advisor; Dominick F. Burns, Henry H. Goodwin, George A. Kolb and John A. Pilgard. Miss Estella Sprague of Storrs Agri- cultural college, served as economics director, W. J. Farley of New Britain, Professor Jenkins of Yale, and Charles H. Wheeler of Bridgeport were also intimately concerned with the food ad- ministration. Although Mr. Scoville refused to say ‘whether he would re-appoint his for- mer committee to assist him, it is known that many members have been asked to meet his this evening at the Heublein hotel. Inquiry among cloth- ing dealers, and proprietors of dry- goods stores failed to produce any indication as to who might represent the dry goods trade on the committee.
