[[NEW?]] KIND OF NARIKIN A RESULT OF THE FLU
[[Undertakers?]], Casket Makers and Crematoriums Work Overtime to Dispose of Dead
Permission for crematoriums to operate [[will?]] blast day and night for the next [[three?]] days has been granted by the [[slice?]] of Tokyo, in view of the great number of deaths from influenza in the [[city?]]. Previously the institutions [[opera-?]] only at night, but with the increase the work of the kind to be done e police extended the hours of operation rather than issue permits for more crematoriums.
The revenue of crematoriums is estimated at from Y20,000 to Y30,000 a month [[since?]] the influenza epidemic, as much for the first six months of last year. [[Undertakers?]] are equally busy, and [[casket?]] makers are running their establishments overtime to supply the demand for coffins. Undertaker and crematorium narikin are expected to [[ap-ar?]] as a result of the epidemic in [[-pan?]].
Another result is the congested condition of hospitals and sanitariums. The [[services?]] of Doctors and nurses also are a premium.

PLAN TO ELIMINATE MUD
[[Tokyo?]] Will Put Gravel Scattering Autos to Work
Automobiles that scatter gravel on [[roads?]] are to be shipped from America [[to?]] Japan as a relief measure for the [[mud?]] that covers Tokyo streets immediately after each rain or snow, according to the Chugwai Shogyo. The paper [[-ates?]] that Mayor Tajiri favors the additional levy of taxes so that the streets [[may?]] be paved, but that the city administration has ordered the gravel scattering vehicles as a temporary relief.
Presumably the plan is to allow the [[city?]] streets to acquire their usual slimy [[condition?]] after a rain and then the automobiles will be put into service handling gravel. The paper doubts the [[prac-bility?]] of this unique plan for even the

anxious to find men form their own ranks to be sent as their representatives aboard.
Mr. Otani is regarded as the most gifted man available to take up the mission. He is not only a man of religion, but a statesman, and, at the same time, a great scholar. Besides, he is well acquainted with things Western, as he spent many years in London as a student.
The idea of sending the former Lord Abbot to Europe has been proposed at the general conference of the Honganji, and, if the proposal passes, the officials of the sect will proceed at once to Shanghai, where Mr. Otani is living, to notify him of the decision. It is expected that Professor Takakusu of the Tokyo Imperial University, who is regarded as an authority on Hindi philosophy, will go in company with the ex-Lord Abbot.

BLOCK CITY POWER PLAN
Protest Against Proposed Hydraulic Station
The Tokyo City Electricity Bureau, with an idea of supplying the city with it own production of electricity, planned to establish a hydraulic plant along the bank of the Tamakawa River, in the suburbs of Tokyo, and has presented the plan to the City Council for approval. Hearing of this, the people of the county
of Nishitama have voiced their opposition to such an undertaking by the city. The city officials in charge declare that if the bill is approved by the city council and assembly, the plan will be carried
regardless of the opposition. The Tokyo Fu officials in regard to the matter say that there were nine applications for permits to establish a hydraulic plant by private persons. These have been laid on table so far, because of the objection of the city authorities that such a plant might spoil the source of water supply of the city. Under the circumstances, even if the city should apply for permit, it cannot readily be granted in view of the prior applications, says the Tokyo Fu authorities.

Conference Really to Be
It has finally been settled that the conference between the North and the South shall be held at Shanghai. The Southern delegates have opened a temporary office in the residence of Mr. Tang Shao-yi, Southern leader.
Informal meetings between Mr. Tang Shao-yi and the Northern delegates have
and Don government. In addition Socialistic parties whose views conflict with these will send their delegates.
9Such a conference can have only one of two results. If an agreement is reached p, an armistice concluded, peace re-established, and an election for a Constituent Assembly called to set up a government satisfactory to all parties, the Bolsheviks who are predominant in Russia will obtain a majority of the votes, and thus Bolshevism will come into
power again. If on the other hand the conference comes to no understanding, we shall have to continue the war against Bolshevism.
“Negotiating with the Bolsheviks is admitting them as a political party, but we cannot view them as such.
“The Allies are talking of bringing the Kaiser to judgement why not bring Bolshevik leaders to account? I can not understand what led the conference to reach this decision.
“I believe that ultimately the Allies will have to intervene in Russia.”

SKILLFULLY DARING AVIATRIX THRILLED WATCHING THOUSANDS
Miss Ruth Law Performs Over the Heads of 50,000 Admiring Spectators at Susaki
Miss Ruth Law, America's foremost woman aviator, thrilled 50,000 Japanese, and a sprinkling of foreign residents who braved the mud to Suzaki Field yesterday afternoon, when she gave her first exhibition performance of flying in Japan. The day was cold and the general weather conditions bad for flying, but Miss Law's exhibition easily places her at the top of the list of Americans who have flow their planes in exhibition flights in the Far East.
For mastery of her machine, in maneuvering it through the difficult stunts, looping the loop, spiraling, diving and the others, she exhibited the daring, nerve and ability that has made her name famous. After seeing Ruth Law in the air, one can easily believe that it is a joy to fly.
Japanese have never seen such handling of an airplane as yesterday when the little American woman, propped out in front of the wings of her small Curtiss machine, rushed it into the air and whipped back and forth close over the crowds, banking so steeply on the turns that the wings of the machine were often at right angles to the ground.
There is nothing of a far-away aspect to an exhibition flight by Ruth Law. When she went into the air she turned at the endof a short straightway, and with hands free from the controls, came back close over the heads of the crowds. Then she would swoop down, so close to the ground that it seemed she would cut a swath through the people. A quick turn, and she was up in the higher altitudes.
After the stunts near the ground Miss Law climbed to an elevation of three of four thousand feet and started down via the loop the loop route. In one of these descents she negotiated half a dozen loops. Returning to the heights again she would descend by spirals or by a sheer drop of a thousand feet, the plane coming out of the fall in a graceful curve that sent it off on a parallel to the earth.
Miss Law made two flights yesterday, one at 2 o'clock, and the other an hour later. During the interval she received congratulations and presents from the admiring Japanese. Last night she left for Osaka where today she will deliver an address on aviation. She returns to Tokyo this week, but plans no more flights in Tokyo, before going on in her tour of the Orient.
