The reason is the same as that which makes London, ami American cities, too, In proportion to their nuiu'- 1 tier of inhahltams, incoinparuuly vast er than 1'arls, or lSerlin, or Vii'ima the tendency for each fn;nlly to live 1 lender his own roof tree. Hut as the j uernge Japanese family Is much poor- ! er than the average Londoner, and as In any- case Japanesu houses are mi nute creations of wood and paper, lids city of hardly more than li.OiKJ.IXHJ souls occupies a space hardly less than that of (ireater London. , Some years ago a Japanese painter exhibited In the annual Academy of Tokyo u picture of the cupital as seen from one of Its northern hills. He entitled It "A City of Hoofs," unil the title was an apt one. Kacli roof meas ures only a few square yards, and of the myriads of houses the vast major ity are only one or two stories hili.

STAR Saturday TOM MIX i 4th Annual Clearance houses, and the exquisite cleanliness of Japanese personal habits, one might not unfairly compare Tokyo to a city . of iienvoops. . 1 Save for one main street, the world fnnious tllnza, which Is the Broadway of Tokyo, the city's streets are unite unpuved. in the wet season the sur . face mud is so deep anil sticky that it will Ruck a pair of low shoes off a European's feet. The Japanese do not mind the iniid, because they wear wooden pattens or geta in the wet sea son. The deeper the mud, the bigger the geta. The streets are merely narrow lanes between the hencoops, so narrow that one can almost touch either side by "stretching the arms. Right und left of the street are deep ditches of un speakable tilth bridged by stone flags at the entrance to each house or shop. After all, medieval London was hardly better. Ami the truth about Jupan Is that still today it Is medie val, both In Its absence of sanitation and Its morality. t At the very first glance n European arriving In Yokohama or Tokyo recog. nlzos'thls medievalism. The coolies, the rickshawinen, the workln? class, are clad in Jerkin and blue lights; they might, hut for their Mongol faces, be "supers" in the conventional stage setting of . "Henry IV." To Imagine Tokyo or any other .Tnp onesc city properly one might first Imagine London in the Fourteenth cen tury, and then Imagine that London , equipped with every modem appliance save paving and sanitation, with trams, electric railways, the tele phone and electric lights. " But to complete the picture one must imagine a deeoratlvp, graphic and architectural art as living and spontaneous and gra cious as that of London of the Four teenth century. ing "we, the undersigned members1 of the Astoria fire (icp.ivtnient, re-1 spectfully resign, effective with the retirement ol Fire Chief C.

SALE Without Vanilla Also. Julian Wetzel, of the Keystone Press, speaking before the Service club at Indianapolis recently, told a story Illustrating what happens when one dUzy person meets another. "I went up to a drug store soda fountain," snltl Mr. Wetzel, and or dered a soda without flavor. ' . "Without flavor?' queried the youth behind the counter, smoothing his long hair back. "Without flavor..' d!(l ynu say?" ., ' . : v "res, without chocolate flavor?' ; "Oh, we haven't nil v ' chocolate flavor. You'll hirve to do without vanilla."
