Since the inflow of foreign ideas
some of our people have begun to de-
part from the old cusoms, and the re-
sult have been a decline in family,
peace and in the general health and
physique of. the nation. In Japan,
making marriage a success means
more than getting a suitable partner;
it includes also having a nice wedding
and doing the whole thing in, a style
up to date. This is in some degree to
be regretted; for nowadays parents
spend enormous amount of money in
preparing a daughter for marriage. In
this respect Japan has all too closely
imitated the West. Yet one has to ad-
mit that it is but human nature to do
so; only before we came in contact
with Western ways we seemed to have
more control over human nature.

man who spent 1,000 yen ($500) in

Mobs Threatened House Crying “Death
to the Gringos.”
By Associated Press.
Oakland, Cal., June 5.—A dramatic
recital of the escape of himself and
wife from death by a Mexican mob in
Monterey, Mexico, was given here last
night by John C. Allen, deputy United
States consul at Monterey.
Allen said he and his wife withstood
a four days siege behind the stone
walls ofa crude Mexican house in Mon-
terey, after the receipt of the news of
the American occupation of Vera Cruz,
while a frenzied mob urged outside cry-
ing. “Death to the gringoes.”
“We lived a lifetime in those four
days,” said Allen. “The mob was crazy
with hatred and if they could have
broken into the house, we would have
been killed. My wife made me promise
to kill her and then end my own life
and all
- states and some corporations. What-
■ ever be the exact amount of loss sus-
' tained. through sickness, effective reg-
• istration will help materially to re-
duce it and will thus yield a big re-
turn to the communities 01 the rela-
tively small investment required.
HOW IT WORKS.
“Permit me to show in some detail
how an effective system of reporting (
disease will affect the public welfare.
“First—it will make possible the
immediate and effective treatment of
certain infectious diseases. In cases
of tuberculosis, for example, an early
report to the department of health
puts at the disposal of the patient the
entire battery of the hygienic resources
of the community.
“Let us take another instance, that
of diphtheria, where success in the
treatment depends so largely on an
early and correct diagnosis. The regi-
istration of a suspected case enables
the health authorities to make a cul-
ture which settles the diagnosis. In
positive cases, the information placed
at the disposal of the physician in
charge helps to make a cure almost
certain.
“Second—The registration of the
Communicable diseases will enable

Irving Fisher of Yale has estimated
that about three million people are
seriously ill at any one time in the
United States, of whom about a half
are suffering from preventable causes.
The economic losses from such illness
he declares to be no less than five
hundred million dollars annually in
wages and an equal sum in doctors’
fees, drugs and other necessary medical
accessories. These figures, he believes,
are conservative; but it is obviously
impossible to make any estimate which
will approximate the truth in view of
the total absence of reliable informa-
tion. In fact, there are no records of
illness in this country excepting the
very fragmentary reports of a few

a commonplace now. It would be
nearer the truth to say that from 3,000
to 5,000 yen are spent on the average
wedding among upper class people in
Tokyo today.
Soon it will involve an expense be-
yond all but the wealthy. This grow-
ing competition in material display has
done nothing to improve marriage it-
self. As already suggested, morally
and spiritually, marriage in Japan is
not up to what it used to be. In old
Japan the mating of man and woman
Was regarded as one of the most se-
rious and important steps in life. To-
day marriage seems to be little more
than a business transaction, and the
wedding no more .than a social gather-
ing.
BRIDE’S PICTURESQUE DOWRY.
In feudal days the marriage of im-
portant persons necessarily involved
no small outlay. With the wife went
her dowry which was in kind and had
to be transported over many miles and
required the labor of hundreds of
hands.
All kinds of household furniture and
ornaments were. brought home with
the bride. It was then an unwritten
law that the father of the bride had
to send with her to her husband’s
house all the household things that she
would require for the rest of her nat-
ural life. In many cases it meant also
that the parents had to supply the
bride’s living expenses. This was no
doubt the inducement to marriage, es-
pecially to the young man without
much means. In case The bride should
die the father had to bear the funeral
expenses. Consequently some wed-
dings in Japan cost an enormous sum
of money. But the person involved
could well afford it. Now, however,
every youth wishes to be married in
lordly style, whether he can afford it
or not; and every father wishes his
daughter to marry like the bride of a
daimyo, independently of circum-
stances. There is a disposition of
fondness for ostentation and frivolous
sentiment, which cannot but be 4
cause for regret among all our more
thoughtful people.
What is Japan going to do about
this change for the worse, that appears
to be coming over her social and
family life? The cause of it is usually
ascribed to Occidental influence. West-
ern literature is now frequently trans-
lated into Japanese; and a large part
of Western fiction is filed with radical
notions of marriage. Then, a great
many young men of Japan now go
abroad for study, and it is said they
come back with unconventional ideas
of marriage and family life. At any
rate, we are facing a crisis in social
relations.
CHINESE INFLUENCE.
Perhaps I may surprise my readers
by frankly stating that I think most
of our bad habits in this respect have
been borrowed or appropriated from
China.
Our increasing extravagance in re-
gard to weddings has brought about a
reaction among our lower classes, who
cannot afford the luxury of grand
weddings; and now they are driven to
the opposite extreme, and are much
too informal. With many/ of them the
ceremony is of the most simple and

New York, June 5.—A Japanese
writes as follows about customs in his
native land:
In our country autumn time is the
season of mooning and mating. From
the time when the buds of the beauti-
ful chrysanthemum begin to unfold to
the commencement of winter, when all
the red leaves have fallen from the
maple, this is the season of love and
marriage in Japan. Whether our
young men think most of love that
season one cannot be sure, but assur-
edly that is the season of marriage.
The great majority of our weddings
take place then. Last year, on ac-
count of the national mourning, there
was a marked decrease in the number,
but this year, with the return of the
nation’s joy, the number and average
have more than been maintained.
In all countries marriage suggests
joy, and no less in Japan than else-
where. It is the consummation of the

halth officers to discover foci of in-
fection in time to prevent the further
spread of such diseases. The early
and complete reporting of cases of ty-
phoid fever, at once puts the efficient
health officer on the track of the infec-
tion. It may be the sewerage system,
or the water or milk supply which is
at the bottom of the trouble. In any
event, the location and the sequence
of the cases settles the question and
the epidemic may, in this way, be
quickly prevented from spreading to
other sections. Such was the case re-
cently in New York City where an in-
fected milk supply gave rise to some
three hundred cases of typhoid fever.
In this instance, if the department of
health had waited until the first death
had been reported, the epidemic would
in all probability have spread to in-
numerable other homes and the death
losses increased many fold.
EPIDEMIC CHECKED.
“Similarly, in the city of Buffalo,
during 1912, an epidemic of infantile
paralysis was checked without ser-
ious fatalities as the result of early re-
porting.
“Third—The reporting of occupation-
al diseases ’enables departments of
health to supplement the efforts of bu-
reaus of labor in following up cases to
their sources. Thus, the compulsory
puts the authorities at once on the
trail of carelessly kept factories where
other workmen may be similarly ex-
posed to possible poisoning.
“Fourth—The thorough registration
of certain diseases, such as pellagra
and cancer, will throw much light
unon the origin of these obscure mal-
adies. We have much to learn with
agard to the frequency with which )
these diseases occur in the various so-
cial groups. There is already suffi-
cient evidence at hand that their in-
cidence varies considerably with race,
Sea. age, occupation, personal habits,
and other conditions not as yet differ-
entiated. Thus, a recent study of con-
siderable merit, of cancer in Norway,
showed the very surprising fact that
in that country cancer is more preva-
lent among men than among women,
and that the commonest form of the
disease is the affection of the stom-
ach. In one large series of cases 65
per cent of the total were cancers of
the stomach, a condition not previously
noted in any other country. If these
figures be verified, a careful research
may lead to the discovery and elimina-
tion of the conditions which are re-
sponsible for the prevalence of this
form of disease.”
made by Dr. Louis I. Bublin, life
insurance statistician of this city. A
model law to provide for such report
has been prepared by the Conference of
State and Territorial Health Authorities
in connection with the United States
Public Health Service. An effort is
being made to interest large business
and industrial concerns in the move-
ment, principally on the ground of the
resulting economic benefit to them. Be-
sides, it is pointed out that any reduc-
tion of economic loss will, without ad-'
ditional effort or expense, bring con-
currently a vast reduction in social
loss, including physical suffering, de-
pendency, lack of education and train-
ing and other results of illness that
lower the standard of family and com-
mu ity life.
“The life saving campaigns of the
last few decades have borne fruit,” said
Dr. Dublin in his recommendation. “The
death rate has been lowered and the
average span of life correspondingly
lengthened. Deaths from certain
causes, especially from typhoid fever,
smallpox, the infectious diseases of
childhood, and tuberculosis, have been
reduced. The amount of sickness, on
the other hand, has not been con-
trolled to any appreciable degree.
There is still too much sickness among
us. Indeed, there are those who, with
some authority, maintain that illness
has actually increased in spite of all
the saving in mortality. The next
twenty years must, therefore, see Our
activities in health Work directed espe-
cially to the control of disease. If we
avail ourselves of our present knowl-
edge of sanitary science, we can reduce
the incidence of illness fully as much
as we have already cut down our death
KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY.
“The basis for any campaign against
sickness must be an accurate knowl-
edge of its prevalence. Just aS the re-
duction of mortality is furthered by a
complete registration of deaths and
their causes, so our efforts to reduce
the frequency of disease depend upon
machinery for reporting the cases of
sickness, their causes, and their dura-
tion. for each group in the community.
For this purpose, it is not sufficient to
know only, as we do nOw, the number
who have died from any particular
cause. We must henceforth place our
emphasis upon the cases of sickness
themselves. They are socially more
important than deaths and our pro-
gram must more and more prevent
their occurrence and effect their con-
trol. The state must, therefore, in the
first instance, see that all preventable
diseases are recorded that we may lay
our foundation for efficient sanitary
administration.
“Health departments have long real-
ized the importance of registering dis-
ease. At, first they required the re-
porting of the plagues such as small-
pox. yellow fever, cholera, etc. Later,
the list was extended to include the
acute infections, especially those of
childhood, like diphtheria, scarlet fever
and measles. With the development
of the germ theory of disease, the r-
porting of tuberculosis was included
first on a voluntary, and later on a
compulsory basis. Finally, in some of
the more advanced states, certain non-
infectious diseases, such as cancer, pel-
lagra, and even a few of the occupa-
tional diseases, have been made re-
portable. At the present time, nearly
all states of the Union have laws re-
quiring the reporting of one or more of
the preventable diseases.
“No important aspect of our state
health work shows up to such poor ad-
vantage as does the registration and
control of the preventable diseases. We
are here concerned with conditions
which are responsible from year to year
for large economic and social losses,
and yet we have only the crudest ma-
chinery for checking them. Professor
