(AP) The bloo seeking more federal Aid highway funds for Portland and Multnomah county has gone "mili tant" and Is clamolrng for a federal Investigation of the highway com mission's allotment of the fund. - That was the group's answer to ha commission's emphatic "no" to the group's demands for mors funds.

'We may well expect drastic pro posals unless this situation Is han dled Intelligently and firmly," Henry commented. He suggested as a "reasonable standard" for treatment of this kind of offense the uniform motor vehicle code recently .amended by the fourth national conference on street and highway safety. This would prescribe a fine of not lesa than 9100 nor more than $1,000. or a Jail sentence of not less than 10 days and not more than one year, or both, for first offenders. For second offenses. It would pro vide a minimum mandatory Jail sen tence of 00 days, with an additional fine In the discretion of the court. BY 'RED' DODGER CHICAGO. Aug. 18.

Today great Illusion of mint was destroyed I The extremely placid na ture of the Japanese women bad de ceived me completely. But now I con fess our parable "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" will have to be amended to Include the ladle of Japan. This morning the biggest court room in Tokyo waa crowded and the corridors bulging with women of all ages who had listened to the enchant ing, music of Rando Rukudo, 33, a flute player. The general complaint of the women waa that ha first charmed their musical souls and then he charmed their purses and of course threw tn ft promise or two to marry, which he promptly forgot. One sweet young thing of twenty two mildly attempted to commit sui cide when she heard that her Lo thario had become "engaged" to ft movie queen; a wealthy widow wanted her money back; and another matron of, Indeterminate years wanted to give musical Rando the choice of going to Jail for good or marry her. The trial will continue throughout the week until all the complaints have been heard. The betting right now stands ten to one that Rando will be out of circulation for a year or two. But think of all the new plecea he can learn while a guest of the chief of police of Tokyo! At Tokyo'a biggest and best barber shop 2S chairs I had a hair cut. shave, shampoo and massage and my bill was two yen or 00c. To those Americana who like to live well very well on very little money. let me recommend Japan For $135 ft month a. man and wif can live regal ly in Tokyo. The yen normal at prac tically 50c Is wavering around 30c. which means that every American dollar buys about three and one third yen. An excellent foreign atyle house may be rented for 150 yen. an experi enced amah (cook) who speaks Eng lish and can cook American dishes may be hired, for 50 yen a month; food will not exceed 75 to 100 yen ft month and that leaves more than t hundred yen for entertainment, taxi fares and bar bills. 11 you would like to live in a Japa ueee style house and ' sleep on floor mats as the Japanese do, then you can cut your house coste In half. Tokyo is ft huge, active. Interesting city, and you'd like It. While speaking of place to live round the world, Tokyo la as modern aft New York In many respects. Little did I realize when I first saw Tokyo's most ultra - modern sophisticated building, that I would be living In the penthouse. Nothing that I have seen wound Central Park exceeds my bachelor-studio for comfort and con venience. Designed and furnished by a decorator I pay the staggering sum of 40 ft month for Tokyo's swankiest apartment! chamber of Commerce put on ft "Be On Tim Week and everybody caught one street car earlier ind everybody la happy again nd no one has lost face. Any westerner who bellerea that all the finest example of 30th century painting 1 done In America and Eur ope la due for ft shock. The forty mammoth paintings of the major event in the life of the Oreat Em peror Meljl housed In the Million Dollar Memorial gallery, are so start ling In design, color and composition that Caucasian ftrtlsU might well learn much from ft visit to Japan for the sole purpose of going to the Meljo gallery. Each painting waa do nated by a member of the nobtllty. ft bank, a province or an association. Each painting waa done by ft differ ent artist and to be selected to do such ft signal commission waa the equivalent of national success and undying fame. While viewing these marvelous paintings, you leave your ahoe out side so that you wilt not scratch the mirror like marble floor. A Japanese traffic- officer Is the world's most efficient Individual. n wears ft distinctive uniform. He wears ft short aword. He ha a whistle. He affect whit cotton gloves. He oper ate a red and green semi ph ore. A megaphone and rri rwi 0i-n ri.i are at his feet. A long blunt lance tno lengm or a broom stick la handy for riot work a well as concealed side arms. And when alt 1 said and done, Tokyo's trafflo weaves and twirl in such gl rations from curb to curb that It la worth your life to cross any street. In addition to 30,000 taxis mere are ooo.OOO bicycles In Tokyo. The ricksha la nracttcallv ron. Hrtvun out of business by the cheaper and i aster taxi. . . The elshteen hur rfnartmnt stores of Tokyo are closed the 8th. ioi.ii ana an or each month. I, like all foreigner, asked vhv.

So the ahop- AccperB accenaea on trie city council In a body and demanded that mu nicipal legislation require all big stores to close three days a month so the Uttle fellow could get a break. Now everybody la happy again, and the city council eure of re-election. Japan adopts American Ideas and then goe us one better, "Eat More Wisconsin Cheese Week"; "Fire Pre vention Week"; "Drink More Milk Week"; are the Joint fathers of "Be On Time Weel." in Japan. If you are a Japanese and you are late to work In the morning you blame your watch. With great dig nity you pull your clock out of your kimono and speak harshly of Its abil ity to keep time and surprised that you are thirty minutes .ate st your desk. It always works.
