JAPANESEH0MEUFE
MAY BE ’ENJOYED BY
CONVENTION DELEGATES
TOKIO, July 7 (Correspondence of
Associated Press).—A proposal that
the foreign delegates to the Interna
tional Sunday School Convention, tc
be held in Tokio in the autumn of
1920, be lodged in Japan houses, has
been made by Japanese.
It is suggested that One thousand
Japanese families open their homes
to the visitors and that the delegates
be given an opportunity to experience
something of real Japan. They
would sleep on mattresses laid on the
tatami or straw matting floor, and
they would get used to shoji, or paper
covered sliding panels. Instead ot
reclining in chairs and divans, they
would sit on the spotless tatami floor
and get accustomed to the simplicity
of Japanese internal decorations.
In the morning each Japanese host
or hostess would supply the two or
three foreign guests with bread, milk
and eggs, giving a Japanese breakfast
only when the foreigner requested it.
Luncheon and dinner could be taken
»
by the delegates in the hotels.
A writer says: “It is not only the
practical solution of the difficulty but
it will also also serve towards break
ing up the barrier that has been for
so many years a stumbling block to
perfect understanding and friendship
with foreigners.”

COMMITTEE IS
NAMED TO FIX
FAIR PRICES
-•
In compliance with the request 0‘
the national food administration tha
, the local food administrations through
out the country revive the “fair-price’
committees of war days, for the pur
pose of determining what are just anc
equitable prices for food commodities
and to bring public opinion to beai
to bring an end to profiteering, W. R
Hillery, local representative of th<
food administration, has named sucl
a committee and has called a meeting
for next Sunday afternoon.
The prices for food products have
risen to such heights that alarm is
felt generally throughout the country
! and it is felt that it is the part of gooc
citizenship at this time to co-operate
to the fullest extent with the nationa
government in its endeavor to abolist
profiteering and to bring about an ere
of lower prices.
Mr. Hillery feels that there may be
some reluctance on the part of ap
pointees to serve on these committees
and he urges the appointees to con
sider the public welfare and to make
an effort to perform the duties as
signed to them. Mr. Hillery this
morning gave the following announce
ment to the Times for publication:
“The excessive cost of living touches
every class of people. It is causing
an unrest that must be adjusted. The
federal government has laid aside con
sideration of all other matters of na
tional moment to secure a remedy foi
this excessive cost.
“The consumer and the dealer may
be sure that conditions will change
that food and clothing will cost less
The necessity for government action
is so urgent that it can not be set
aside.
“If the local merchants are not at
fault we must know it, and if they are
at fault adjustments must be made.
“To comply with the government re
quest I have named the following in
vestigating committee:
“MRS. T. J. DONOHOE
“MRS. A. McN. FIELD
“MRS. FRANK A. FOSTER
“ALVAH EAMES
“DAN SEXTON
“NATHANAEL GREEN
“L. C. PRATT
“CHARLES RISTINE
“J. B. SAPIRO
“H. I. ONEILL_
.;---j
“JAMES DINEEN
“The above-named committee is re
quested to meet Sunday at 2 p. m. at
the town hall, and there organize and
proceed to conduct a fair and firm in
vestigation of the cost of local living
condition^.
