I DEATH OF LADY PAGET
London, June 15.—The death of
Lady Paget, wife of General Sir Ar
thur Paget. evoked eulogies of her in
many British papers, which keenely
regret the passing of the American
woman who gladdened so many lives
by her philanthropic work.
IFor nearly forty years Lady Pagec
was a leader of London society. She
made the organizing of entertain
ments for charitable purposes almost
the main business of her life. raising
enormous sums. He ractivities aloag
that line were continued throughout

The Desert Rat will now address

news that it has busted the Southern
Trail to the Pacific wide open. This
message is timely, as several thou

weeks been hiding behind their maps.

Rat has gone and opened the South

‘the Northern cross-continent route via
Jellowstone and the Bad Lands. }
" On the return trip to the Pacific
/ oast the “Desert Rat” is visiting the
various Maxwell dealers en route. |
Everybody who knows anything
about crossing the continent in a mo
tor car, appreciates that none of the
trails are open before the middle of
June. Without saying a word to any
of the experts the Desert Rat “hopped
off” from Los Angeles, Cal., March‘
v3rd and headed East across the dead
ly Gila Desert. \
The seemingly impossible venture
was the result of a dare thrown out
to Scout King Stanley and his son-in
law. Jamies M. Drake. King Stanley
is one of those Western pioneers who
never took a dare in his life. He is
now past sixty years of age, and near
ly hal fa century ago he crossed the
continent on the back of a pony. He
prospected all over the Pacific slope
and roamed the plains with Buffalo
Bill. Two years ago the old scout
gave up his pony and climbed into a
1917 Maxwell touring car. Since then
he and his young son-in-law have been
heating up the desert, having done
19,000 miles, in “Old Max,” as Mr.
Stanley calls his Maxwell.
On March 23 last, the Desert Rat
wag fitted with an extra gasoline tank.
a five gallon water bag, a piece of
rope, a frying pan and a single-action
Colt, which Buffalo Bill gave Mr.
\Stanley just before he felt the West.
. “How in the would do you ever run
it in that condition?” asked a by
stander.
“Wiell,” said the old scout, “maybe
she does nede a bath. but we just
thought we would wait until we got
back to the little old Colorado River
and let her soak for a féw days. We

Tokio, May 15. (Correspondence of
the Associated Press.)——For the first ‘
time in the history of Japan the peo
ple have cheered their mmuu-clls.\
‘l’()pular celebrations were held in To
lkin to celebrate the fiftieth anniver
'sary of the removal of the imperial
capital from Kioto to Tokio and the
|lhirtiv:lh anniversary of the establish
lmunl of Tokio as a municipality.
For two days the people of the
metropolis gave themselves up to en
thusiastic rejoicings. The city was
gay with festoons, flags and magnifii- |
cent evergreen arches.
Emperor Yoshihito with his consort
and Crown Prince Hirohito drove
through the packed streets in open
coaches and bowed in ackonwledge
ment of the respectful “banzai” of the
mulititudes.
In the past the Emperor of Japan
has rarely made his appearance in
the public streets and has always
| been received in silent homage. The
recent ovation after the Western idea
is regarded as a democratic approach
of the Emperor to his people. In
other words, Japan is responding to
the domestic spirit aboard in the
world.
The municipality presented to the
Emperor and Empress several his
toric documents and pictures concern
ing the capital. The pavillion used
for the principal ceremonies in Eeno
Park was specially erected in pure
old Japanese style, the roof being
thatched with the bork of cryptome
rias and the outer walls being cover
- ed with green cryptomeria leaves.
The walls inside were beautifully deco
‘rui-"l with gold dust and covered
w th scereens and curtains having de
'sizns of flowers and birds.
