" 1 (V - '' JAP AND AMERICAN CLUB IS ORGANIZED Tokio Now Has League to Fur ther Interests of Both Nationalities. MANY MUTUAL INTERESTS (Correspondence of The Aseoclated Prose.) Tokio, March 25. Although there exist many organizations in Japan in which American! and Japanese have an active membership there has never been formed an association which would serve as a general link between the two peoples. That void now has been tilled by the lormation ot an American-Japanese association to bring about an exchange of ideas on questions which concern Japan and the United Slates. Viscount Kentaro Kaneko of the privy council presided at the organi zation meeting, which was attended by about fifty representative Japanese and Americans. The Japanese in cluded Baron Shihusawa, Baron Sa katani, Mr. Shiedhara, vice minister of foreign 'affairs; Baron Megata, chairman of the Harvard club; Mr. Hioki, former minister to China; Ad miral Baron Una, Dr. J. Soyeda, J. Inoupe, president of the Yokohama Specie bank; Baron Kanda, Dr. T. Dan and others. George W. Guthrie (since dead), the American ambas sador, and his staff were present. Viscount Kencko referred to 'the great need of such an association as was proposed and said he thought it would be a convenient and useful me dium for the exchange of views on questions of interest between Japan and the United States, more especially those involving the issue of race. He thought, also, it would afford means for a more frequent and less formal intercourse between Japanese and Americans. Ambassador Guthrie.' in a speech which was . applauded, expressed the opinion that, the new -organization would till an important and useful place. He believed it desirable, he said, that more emphasis be olaced on the points in which Japan and the United -States are alike and that less stress be laid upon the ways in which the two peoples are alleged to be different. He referred to the oc casional irresponsible and petty utter ances, sometimes mischievous, of which too otten people were inclined to make mountains. He added: "I have just made a visit to the temde at Ikegame, near Tokio, and there was pointed out to me a monument raised to the memory of the American sail ors who perished in the wreck of the United states frieate Onedia in Yo kohama Bay in 1870. As the inscrip tion says, this stone was erected by tender and reverent Japanese. I won der how many people at home know of this touching tribute of the Japan ese people. 1 ins is what I mean by dwelling more on the sympathy be tween us." Other speakers were Baron Shibu- sawa and Dr. Takamine of New York. A committee of orcramzation was appointed and it is expected that 300 representative Japanese will join the new' body. A banquet Wilt' be held at a later date. The aim of the association is con structive. It will supplement in a way the work of the Japanese So city of New York. BUFFALO HERD IN DANGER Pawnee Bill's Appeal to Government Authorities for Protection of Species Against Killers. Another of Pawnee Bill's buffaloes has been shot and killed. This time it was a 4-year-old heifer, as fine a specimen as is in the herd. Last year ii waa nis prixx duii mat wassnor. it was found just at dark and was still warm, which led to the belief that it had been done by the Indians or by some white man, intending to come and set it under cover of darkness. and trade it to the Indians. It is i known fact that the Indians hold the buffalo in great reverence. He olavs an important part in all their sacred councils, medicine meetings and re ligious rites, , ". I he Wichitas, Comanches, Chey- ennes and Arapahoes make annual visits to the buffalo ranch to make medicine - with the buffalo. Pawnee Bill says he cant believe this is the work of the Indians, for they have al ways shown such great friendship for him and the buffalo. He would rather think it is cattle thieves who are aware that the' Indians will pay any price or trade their best pony for a chunk of buffalo meat. ' This makes ' four that have been shot,, three bulls and one heifer.. If they should continue to kill the bulls there is great danger of annihilating the herd. -.

' " e ' IT ' I sS- ), CIWS 0V U SS.IOUJSIAHA BIG OPENING FOR INVENTORS. Suggestions for Articles Which - Would Fill Long Felt Wsnts and Find Market The practical minded inventor, as well as the one who has but a mod est income, should always ask him self these important questions, before spending his money on models or patent fees: . First, is the device useful? Second. does it fill an actual want? Third, if is the device practical and can it be readily manufactured and mar keted? Fourth, is there a similar ar ticle on the market already? As to the sutrnestions we advance below, we believe that they cover all our requirementj. There is positive demand tor all ot the devices and it the correct solution is found, each in vention will undoubtedly prove a handsome moneymaker. I Electrical Air Cooler At the pres ent time we use fans in the summer to "cool" our sweltering humanity. Fans really don't cool, but simply stir up the heated atmosphere, and by causing drafts evaporate the moisture on our skins. This gives a cooling sensation. Electric fans, how ever, does not reduce the room tem perature to any great extent and for that reason are makeshifts at best. We should produce cold (lowering ot the temperature) by some other elec tric -means. Peltier shewed us that cold "can be produced by crossing a bar of bismuth with a bar of anti mony and sending an electric current through it in a certain direction. This is Peltier's cross. Why cannot this principle or a similar one-rbe sup plied on a commercial scale, and in cidentally make a fortune for its in ventor? - Electric Insect Destroyer Every summer we are exasperated by flies and mosquitoes. Why not keep them out of the house or kill them by some electrical means? Electrically charged wire netting has been used already, but it has many inherent faults. As a rule such netting cannot be used on windows as water or moisture puts the device out of order. Something more practical if required. Insects as a rule keep away from highly charged conductors (high frequency or Tesla currents). Perhaps this hint will put somebody on the right track. Electric Toys There is an im mense market for cheap electric toys. Something is wanted to keep a boy amused with a good electric toy op erated by a dry cell. Years ago we saw an electric motor that sold for 10 cents and actually ran. It was badly designed and badly made, otherwise the S and 10 cent stores would be selling 1,000,000 or more of them a year. Here is a rich field and it matters little if the article can be marketed for 10 cents or $1 if the toy is right. . Electric Window Attractors A vast field for the clever inventor. Movable window attractions are in ever-growing demand. Everybody stops and looks at the least mysti fying movable sign or. whatnot. Elec tricity and magnetism supply unend ing combinations and providing the device is novel and. cheap, thousands can be sold. Every retail store can use one. Can you supply it? Bell "Softener" A poor title for want of a better one. The harassed modern business man is of late de veloping what is termed as the "tele phone heart." Every time the phone rings he starts and if he is very nerv ous he jumps involuntarily. At home his wife is developing the same disease. What is wanted, badly, is a device that will do away with the harsh, abrupt sound. Something "soft" and mellow that doesn't jar one's nerves, and at the same time is not too muffled, otherwise the calling sig nal cannot be heard in the next room. Simply unscrew the gongs and re place with your device. Can you fur nish 500,000 at, say, $1 each? Elec trical Experimenter. Hare It Waa Ills Wife.

Expert Says Their Training Makes then Ideal Mates, and Tells Why. Why not marry a telephone girl? Not that this is a startling new idea. For telephone girls have been mar ried in great numbers. They usually marry after two or three years of service in those vast, mysterious cen tral offices the public knows so little about. But having recently looked over a whole exchange full of hello girls I am impressed with the idea that they would make excellent wives. And I shall tell you why: 1. Only girls in robust health are chosen as operators. 2. Only those of mental and physical alertness survive their apprenticeship. 3. Telephone girls keep their heads. 4. Telephone girls are amiable. (And maybe this ought to be put first instead of fourth). 5. Only girls who are amenable to reason and guidance are selected. 6. Only girls who "apply to their clothing the principles of common sense, good taste and thrift keep their places at the switchboard. And if these are not enough reasons why you should marry them, I may add that 80 per cent of central office' girls are attractive in looks and pleas ant of manner. As for choice in types and coloring say I (Get the telephone company's permission some time to go through the exchange). The blondes and the red heads are my choice. But, of course, you may prefer the raven tressed, the chestnut thatched or the browns. As a matter of fact, you are safer to pick out the medium shades. Miss Schmitt says. Katherine Schmitt has been em ploying, girls for the telephone com pany a good many years. She began like the girls she now trains, and ad visesat the "B" switchboard. . Miss Schmitt says that the medi um iinted onej "wear the best," all things considered. Anyone extreme in coloring get the idea is apt to be more extreme in temperament. New York Mail.

Specialist in SO Broad Street English Prisoners In Germany .Wish To Stay in Country (Correapondene. of Th Associated Pre..) London, March 25. Lord Newton a few days ago in the House of Lords, caused surprise by stating that many British prisoners at Ruhleben. Ger many, had no desire to return to Eng land. It is now learned that then are about 800 of these prisoner!, Brit ish subjects, who openly profess sym pathy with the German cause. The reason for this large number of pro-German British, according to statements made here, is that they art almost all Germans, born and bred, who acquired British nationalization either in England or in some of the colonies, in order to escape liability to military service in Germany. Most of them left Germany specially fof this purpose, and after residing on English soil for the minimum period requisite to naturalization, they re turned to the Fatherland snd resumed their ordinary life. The interned pris oners also include their sons and grandsons. There are also natives of Austria, German, Switzerland and Russia, who similarly acquired Brit ish citizenship. There was much indignation among these pseudo-British at the outbreak of the war, when they suddenly found themselves interned as were out-and-out Englishmen. There were many protests, but the police replied that they had sheltered themselves from military service under their al leged British nationality and must fake' the consequences. At first they were carefully distributed among, the purely British prisoners for observa tion and espionage purposes: The Englishmen countered with a boycott which eventually resulted in the separation of the two elements. Whenever one of the pro-Germans asked for leave, the officer of the day would say, "What regiment do you wish to join?" In the end about 300 volunteers for the German army were obtained from the camp. Bam la Needed.
