The visitor will be amazed at the number of people who are reading books or magazines, with out seeming to buy any. Students are to be seen in the greatest numbers, and it is more than like ly tbe students who do the most reading with the least amount of actual buying in return, compared to other classes of readers. Yet it is from these people that the book-seller or magazine - man makes his profits, for most of them do buy an occasional piece, getting as much free reading of other volumes as possible. The Japanese are voluminous readers. Their literacy is high, nearly all of them having had an elementary education. Paper bound libraries, individual books of which sell quite reasonably, have been issued by many compa nies, and "complete works" and selected works" libraries are quite popular. Magazines of the pulp-paper" type are, read by the masses in Japan, as well as in America. Students form the greatest pro portion of readers and browse about the shops in considerable numbers. Many students have 11 braries that would put an Ameri can college professor to shame, buying complete sets of technical hooks, books pertaining to their particular field of study, literary works, and many, manv additional volumes. -Their libraries Include not only books written in their native language, but also English volumes, college students read English hooks almost as readily as those ' printed in Japanese al- though their conversational knowledge of the language pro portionately Is much less. Second-hand bookstores are very popular; and that section of Tokyo known as Kanda is lined with new, and econd-hand book stores, for Its location is easily ac cessible to students," a number of universities and colleges being In the vicinity. Many of these stores nave as many English books Japanese.-" .- V" ' Books written by American writers, : but translated Into Jap anese have proved to be best-sell era In Japan as well as In the United States. . Japan's Interest in China, may be on reason for, the tremendous popularity of pear Buck. A total of 500,000 copies of her books, translated into Jap anese, have been sold. ."The Good Earth" is the most popular of these, and also was dramatized and presented for several weeks upon . the Tokyo stage. Other books by Pearl . Buck translated into Japanese Include "The Ex ile." -a House Divided," "East Wind West Wind," Sons' "The Good " Earth", and " The Mother." i v. '.'Gone With the Wind" also, has proved very popular in Japan, and has gone into several editions. . Books concerning the war in China have proved especially po- pilar among the Japanese during the past year. One well-known author, Ashihei HIno, has" sent back from the front several de scriptive books, most popular of which has been "Wheat and Sol diers," which, like "The Good Earth" has been dramatized on the Tokyo stage. Other books by the same author Include "Earth and Soldiers," "Flowers and Sol diers" and "Sea and Soldiers." These books have been followed closely in popular estimation by Hiroshi Uyeda's "Yellow Dust," Matsumarfs "A Private Killed in Action" and Masaru Tanlguchi's A Thousand Miles Forward." One woman writer. Miss Fumiko Hayashl, has achieved consider able fame from her book, "Battle Line," which first appeared se rially in the columns of the Tokyo Asahi. Even translations of books on the war Itself as seen from the Chinese side, such as "Retreating a Thousand Miles" have met with a wide sale. Translations of Dr. Lin Yn tang's "My Country and My Peo ple" and Dr. Lesching Beck's "Chinese Agriculture" have prov ed popular in Japan. .Books dealing with economic and political subjects recently published have included "War time Renovation Measures" by Manabu Hirano, Road to Agra rian Renovation" by Mlnoru Ni shida, and "An Essay in the Man agement of Rejuvenated China" by Sukehira Nashimoto. ' Apart from books about the war, there has been a number of stories which reflect the new lit erary movement, such as "Quest for Life" by Kensaku Shimakl "Winter's Lodging" by Tomoji Abe, "Nightingale" by Einosuke Ito, "New Steel" by Mosuke Ma- miya and .- "Whispered Confes sions" by Seizaburo Yamada i A book that has been tremehd ously popular, in the last few weeks is " Genjlro Tanazaki'i "Story of Genji Modem Ver sion" written by Lady Murasakl 400 years ago,- now '.'translated" into present-day, readable Japan ese. The ancient-style language of the original hardly could be un derstood even by the lntelllgensia, but the present volume brings the book into modern .language that may be read by all. - The book previously was translated - into English by Arthur Wesley. Journals in Japan are highly censored during the present war time, as the government Is anxi ous that the people's thought be centered upon one ' central ideal and not diverted too greatly in other directions. According - to statistics compiled by the Home Office upon the basis of publica tions submitted, for censorship, there were published during 1937 31,064 books and pamphlets (in cluding 332 government docu ments) and , 30,056 newspapers and magazines (Including 1,422 dailies and 18,651 monthlies.) Wage-Hour Battle Looming in House wo Sets of Amendments May Go Before Body . This Session WASHINGTON, July 24-() The house faced tonight the possi bility of an unscheduled fight over modification of the wage-hour law, despite administration oppo sition to any drastic changes In the act at this session. An informed member said after a two-hour meeting that the rules committee probably would vote to morrow to give legislative right- of-way to two divergent sets of amendments those sponsored by unairman Norton (D-NJ) of the labor committee and Rep. Barden tD-NC). Earlier this year, the Norton amendments reached the house floor but were sent back to the iaDor committee after their au thor had attempted to obtain con sideratlon under special procedure which she said would have pre vented foes of the act from "cut ting the heart" from it. These amendments would have exempted white collar workers earning 200 a month or more and would have permitted some workers engaged in operations related to agricul ture to work longer hours during certain periods of the year. The more drastic Barden amend ments would exempt white-collar workers with salaries of S150 month and numbers of workers engaged in processing agricultural products.

Lewis today invaded the building construction field, long dominated by the pow erful and closely knit building trades unions of the American Federation of Labor. In a formal statement, Lewis announced that he would organize a new industrial union among the 3,000,000 wage earners he esti mated were in the industry. His move, which may bring the CIO and AFL into bitter conflict on a new front, will be carried out by an organizing committee head ed by his brother, A. D. Lewis, and a staff of some of the top ranking CIO leaders. The new unit will be knownas the United Construction Workers Organising committee. Lewis estimated that out of the 3,000,000 workers in the construc tion industry, less than one-third had been organized by the AFL. His Invasion of the construc tion field was regarded as highly significant since some of his strongest opponents within the AFL are the leaders of the build ing trades unions. The move waa considered a blow to chances for any early settlement of the long war between the CIO and AFL. r " COSTS USS TO fEEDFRSKIES! . TaxsKiss la 90 toLA food.
