West of the Pate Line Last week Bruno Lesslng wandered through Tokyo gathering impressions for his whimsical travel articles. Bruno Uvea in Rome most of the year but has such a falling for a particu lar brand of Japanese beer that he haa ten cases a month sent to his villa in Italy. When he arrived in Tokyo this particular brewery had his hotel room decorated wUa banners and placards advertising his favorite brand and ten cases on ice were ensconced In the bath tub. One of the largest silk filatures In Japan Is at Omlya In the suburbs of Tokyo. The tourist bureau makes ar rangements for your visit. In addi tion to your astonishment In seeing 500 girls working at lightning speed with almost lnvlsable threads, you will be assailed by loud speakers overhead blurting out your national anthem. The office has the music of 38 nations but regrets that records of the nalonal hymns of Iraq, Liberia and Abyssinia are missing. The Japanese are the world's most modest people. They eat In private and bathe In public! When you go for dinner at a Japanese restaurant, you are given a private room. You take off your shoes, sit cross-legged on the floor, manipulate chop sticks and consume your raw fish, eel and rice away from the vulgar gaze of the hoi palol. But when you go to a hot springs well that's different! You undress, figuratively light a Murad, don a bathing suit of utter nonchalance and saunter into the pool oblivious to the fact that you and fifty other men and women are "dressed exactly as you were the day you were born." The Japanese think nothing of it and after five minutes any trepida tions you might have had about visiting a Nudist colony In Europe will have vanished. And after all, why not? Last Sunday morning I saw the man who next to the emperor rules Japan. Prince Salonjl la the last of the elder statesmen and his word Is obeyed by the government. Rather he suggests and advises and his ad vice is always taken. Prince Salonjl only visits Tokyo when there is an emergency In the government and I saw him leave the Tokyo station after pouring oil on the troubled waters. He carries a gnarled staff given him by the em peror which Is his right to authority. Only U of the titled nobility of Japan all over 80, have the privilege of carrying an imperial staff. The tradition goes back to the 12th cen tury. Respect in Japan is shown by com plete silence and while the prince and --:s retinue pasACd through the station the thousands of assembled people stood so quietly that you WHAT'S GOING THROUGH HIS MIND? Children are very rrltlral . . . rpr'lallT of their parents. Have you teeth jour child 1 proud of?

They need the vsrlrtut dlc and hru.hes combined lth the pumlre lo reftore Ihelr natural beanly. Make an appointment today! DR. I. H. GOVE 8twart Bids Phone 872-J Date Line R. G. S. Explorers' Club could bear the Master clock of the station ticking off the seconds. He entered a reserved second class sleeping car and departed on the reg ular train for Kobe. The Salonjl family is a large power ful family In Japan. It la noted for Its "celibacy" the men have taken concubines, no wives. The police censorship of the press Is airtight In Japan and you soon find that out when you are here. Communists have been held in Jail for months before the newspapers have carried the stories and Just the other day & small Item announced that 24 days ago an attempt had been made to burn the House of Peers the congress of Japan. The newspaper story said that gasoline had been sprayed in the corridors and Ignited. But the fire had been extinguished before much damage had been done. But not a word about it was printed until 24 days later. Japan la full of patriotic societies of ex-service men, ex -conscript sol diers and sailors and boy scouts. They take their Interest In government, politics and civic affairs very serious ly. The other day a delegation from one of these ultra-patriotic leagues descended upon the Soclet embassy, presented & protest and proceeded to emphasize their disapproval of con tinued Japanese-Russian border fric tion by smashing up the furniture. Police came on them double-quick, escorted the patriots to the police station, gave them a polite lecture and sent them home. This incident of course was front page material In Moscow Just as a stray bullet that wandered Into a Japanese consulate In Siberia caused the political pot In Tokyo to boil furiously for several days until the facta were ascertained. Last week I attended the luncheon of the Tokyo Rotary club at the Tokyo Kalkan (restaurant), a build ing six stories high, covering a city block and devoted solely to the dis pensing of food. Tnis building was originally constructed to be a hotel and was virtually completed when it was discovered that from the top floor and the roof garden, loyal sub jects of the emperor and foreigners could look over the gate Into the grounds of the imperial palace I That was unthinkable! It could never be tolerated. So after much debate and discussion, it was decided that the building could be used as a restau rant as the indignity apparently did not extend beyond the act of sleep ing. So today the largest and finest restaurant In Tokyo la housed In an elaborate building and Its banquet rooms accommodate 6000 guests at one sitting. The Tokyo Kalkan pays excellent dividends. World's Fair AI .17 Approximately 80 new members have been added to the roster of the local aerie of the Fraternal Order of Eagles during the past week, it was announced by officials of the order yesterday. With these results com ing during the first week of the two week membership campaign, mem bers of the local Eagles believe that by the end of the present week the membership of the organization will be greatly Increased. Following the regular meeting held last Friday a social dance was held, which was the largest the local or ganization has experienced for years. President A. H. Banweli called a special ; meeting of the local aerie for next Wednesday night at 8 o'clock, at which time It is expected to vote on further new applications so that everything will be in order for the big Installation which will be held at the armory on Friday next. The drill team of the organization will conduct a reheaisal at the ar mory on Monday In preparation for the big meeting. VHowing the installation of the new members on the 17th, a ddance will be held for Eagles and their wives which promises to be a large affair In view of the many new mem bers who will be In attendance for the first time, 'The fact that we are obtaining io many new members demonstrates two things," stated President A. H. Ban well yesterday. "First, that men rec ognize the advantages obtained by membership in the Fraternal Order of Eagles, and second that business conditions are on the upgrade." Members of the campaign teams and the Investigating committee will meet at the Eagles' hall tomorrow night at 8 o'clock and all taking part In the campaign are urged to attend. It Is expected that a targe turnout of the membership will be on hand for the meeting Wednesday, which la the frst special meeting of the local aerie which has been called for quite some time.

Cam- merer and Robert Pechner. directors respectively of the national park serv ice and the CCC: A Song To Crater take Lake of mystic charm, my song would ever be Voiced in tones of an immortal symphony: Beauty crowned In majesty and calm repose. In thy harmony the light of Heaven glows. O'er thy silent depths the soaring eagles fly, Guarding snow-capped peaks .that tower to the sky: Ethereal moods reflecting In the mirrored mist Earth's lonely tears by sunshine ages kissed. Lake of mystery, of ever changing hue; Crystal drops In purple shades of slumbering blue; Cradled by the myriad cliffs thy waters deep Blend in magic splendor like a Jewel asleep. Warm In Summer's breath, caressed by golden light; Cold tn Winter's grandeur, framed In gorgeous white. No artist's brush can e'er portray a scene so rare As Nature's hand hath left so proudly there. Many compliments were heard at the banquet, regarding the strong descriptive power of the words, the pleasant harmony of the music, and - the fine quality of the singer's voice, j Tangled Wrh More So I LOS ANOELES, Cel., Aug. 11.

J. OSENBRUGGE PHONE 1.100 FIRE AND DEATH NORTH BONNEVILE, Wash.. Aug. U (API Sam Manzie burned to death today in the flaming ruina of his two-story Inn, the victim of a firebug. Manzie, the huge and genial pro prietor of the hotel In this mush room community, died because he would not quit the building until he knew that every one of his 13 guests were safe. His body, two steps from safety, was found where he had been overcome by smoke. Residents who first saw the flames during the early morning, declared the fire was set from the outside. The incendiary aspect of the fire, po lice said, was supported by two other occurrences this week. An attempt was made several days ago to burn another Inn. Kerosene was poured on a stick of firewood. On Thursday an automobile was fired by an ln cend lariat. North Bonneville is on the Wash ington side of the site of the 31, 000.000 Bonneville power and navi gation 'dam being built across the Columbia river.

As these permits are not permanent, op erators are urged to return their plates upon expiration, or apply for permanent ones if they continue hauling for hire. There has been a certain amount of unfair practice by truckmen who are not properly licensed, but no more than would be expected from any new law, Mr. Thompson stated.
