When I used a picture of the emâ€" peror of Japan in my Believe It or Not cartoon, the Japanese ambassaâ€" ‘dor in Washington made a very urâ€" gent telephore call to me. He reâ€" quested that if a picture of the emâ€" peror must be used, then it was of the highest importance that this picâ€" ture be printed on the front page of the newspaper, because it is a Japâ€" anese law that nothing must appear over the Supreme Portrait of the Son of Heaven. I explained to him as gently as I could that this rule cannot be followed in America. His Excelâ€" lency thought for a minute, and then he suggested that I place over the eartoon a printed admonition to the American public ngt to set down any objects â€" such as drinking glasses, pots and pans, etc., on the picture! He was greatly disappointâ€" ed when I explained that the Amerâ€" ican public will not be restrained by any such printed admonition. The Japanese newspapers carry on their staff a special employee called the "prison editor." He is paid a salary for taking the rap in case the newspaper is fined or senâ€" tenced to jail. In such a case the prison editor (whipping boy) goes to jail without interrupting the even tenor of the newspaper. Suicides are banned from Turkish newspapers. The Japanese press law provides jail for the offense of "belly treaâ€" son"" another word for "‘secret disâ€" loyalty‘" of the paper. Ed A inchell m The coâ€"ordinated German newsâ€" papers have recently discarded question marks from their headlines, because one editor of Essen, Gerâ€" many, was sent to a concentration camp. By mistake the headline *Hindenburg Congratulates Hitler," was provided with a question mark instead of an exclamation point. Aglait Illunanortut (Pages for Everybody) is the title of the Esâ€" kimo newspaper published at Nain, Labrador. It is published in the winter only, because in the summer its readers have no time to read, beâ€" ing busy with seal and fishing. And the ‘"‘Blanc sur Noir" white on black was a French innovation reâ€" versing the usual order by printing its news in white letters on black paper. And talking of upâ€"toâ€"date news, the French "La Presse Prophetique" was published for the purpose of giving the news of next year. It was not a success because it was published in hieroglyphics. When the newspaper business was in its infancy, the reporter was called ‘"an emissary," the editor "a register." *‘The Romios‘‘ of Athens is a daily paper published in verse. ‘The oldest newspaper was recentâ€" ly discovered in Ostia, Italy.

The real father of newspapers was Jullus Caesar, who instituted the famous "Acta Publica," which ran for six centuries. A newspaper prinied on cheese was published in Gouda, Holland, about 1840. Since the cheese could be eaten, the Dutch readers were said to be in the habit of *swalâ€" lowing" anything.

Mayor Ronan told of a plan that is being worked out for civilian defense,â€"especially air attack, and will be sent to all the cities in the United States soon. Since Highland Park‘s geographical position is so far inland and since we do not have munitions or deâ€" fense industries, it is probably that we would never see an air attack, but Mayor Ronan says the plan will be put into operation as soon as it arrives.
