E OFFICIAL VISITS For the purpose 'of discussing the present advertising: and sales drive of the Oil more Oil company with C. W. Ellli, district manager, Mr. B. A. Rowell, manager of refined oil salee for the concern, waa In Med ford last Thursday. Rowell Is one of the most widely known oil executives on the Pacific coast and .feaa a big circle of friends here amcmg the indepen dent dealers. Never before In t3e history of our concern has an advertising campaign been so well received by the motor ing public," declared Rowell upon his arrival. "The motorUtt of today la power minded." he Rants to know all about the gas oil. a that makes West of the Date Line V Ik ' i iff Vytn , 4 B. A. Rowell in By Herbert H. Hilscher, F. R. G. S. Explorers Club lng a broom in a travelling circus. NO. IV. West of Date Line Coney Island may be a New York institution but It has a strong com petitor In Aaakusa Park in Tokyo. More than thirty cinemas, a huge Buddlst temple, miles of shops, sell everything from 2nd hand shoes to beans, bananas and baby dolls. The patent medicine man, the herb doctor and the fantastic man with the long flowing hair and regal beard who specializes In potions for pale people all do a thriving business. Human nature Is the same the world around and In Japan the rice fed far mer from the sticks falls for ntc-nacs as easily as Ezra from Emporia. Tokyo's night club -bars send their girls home at 11:15 p. m., and all dance halls close then too. In all Tokyo there Is only one place where you can get any western food after midnight and that's a Chinese res taurant that stays open until 2 a. m. In Japan you see very few Japanese or foreigners driving their own cars. There la a very good reason. The chauffeurs union Is so strong that the police department will not issue a permit to an ordinary Individual unless he passes an examination that Is as exhaustive and complicated that even the smartest are doomed to fail. The Japanese are a contemplative people. Their minds .are utterly de tached from their bodies. That is one reason why every motor car In the empire has at least three horns and they are tooting constantly. Even so pedestrians get bumped very occa sionally. But the height of abstract contemplation occurred the other day when the motorman of the ele vated IntAurban that encircles the capital fell Into a thoughtful mood and forgot to atop at the most im portant station on his line. He has "lost face" in a big way with his regu lar patrons and probably Is now push- If Adolph Hitler were to visit the Far East, he would be pleased beyond measure. In many places he would see the Swastika and would turn to Hermann Goerlng and say. "Why haven't you told me that the Nazis have captured East Asia?" And with up -raised hand In salute he would point to a huge Swastika at the peak of the great Buddlst temple in Asa kuat park. It la only fair to the dic tator of Germany to inform him that the Swastika is an ancient Buddlst symbol and Its origin was forgotten long before the Austrian house paint er became the .boss of Unter den Linden. Janet Gaynor sella coffee, dresses, bicycles, patent medicines and elec tric bed warmers In Japan. Clark Gable's picture recommends the com forts of bamboo baby carriages and across the page boosts tooth paste. Mary Pickford sells glasses and what's more wears them In the ad vertisements. All this happens be cause the Japanese are fond of pic tures of American movie stars and their pictures lend interest to adver tisement. These photographs ire of course used without permission. But that Is of little moment as there Is nothing In Japanese law to prohibit the practice. It is not uncommon to see the New York and Palm Beach socialites por trayed In Vogue, Vanity Fair and Town and Country, appearing In Jap anese advertising, and I am sure they would be dismayed and embarrassed beyond words to know some of the things they are apparently recommending. Why Is It that the world over, prize fighters and the ladles so often go together? Japan la no exception. Here wrestling between super-enormous mountains of fat and brawn bring forth the personal appearance of some of Japan's mont famous geishas. And are they dolled up I Quite often as a token of Affection "Mr, Lardo" will appear In the ring with a star plastered on his hip or back. Do you have to ask who placed. It there and why? Japanese wrestling looks more like cock fighting to us. There are only twelve falls, twelve lifts, twelve twists and twelve throws allowed. And imagine the qualntneaa of these 300 pounders tossing salt Into the ring simultaneously so that they ahall be purified and their spirits be In sweet harmony aa they grapple with each other I The Japanese have great difficulty with the sound of the English letter "L". Some of the vocal contortions they go through to get around that inconvenience tax our Ingenuity to understand. For example, the well known Dollar Stsamshlp Line In Jap anese conversation becomes "Darrax Yusen Kalsha"; the Imperial Hotel Is Telkoku (lnfperlal) Hoteru and my name Is pronounced Harnbart Hech Hiroshar t I've been called many things, but never Just that before. The American Club of Tokyo Is an oasis In a desert of strange faces. Its three stories represent the forty-eight states and President Roosevelt's auto graphed photo greets you as you enter the library. The food tastes like home. The coffee comes from San Francisco In a red can we all know well. Corned beef and cabbage Is a Monday special and Joe Conway, the Jovial Tokyo representative of the Dollar line can always be seen behind a big helping. Joe who always sticks up for the Sons of Erin carries the "honorary" title of the "Irish Am bassador" and In matters concerning the club Is always consulted along with Ambassador Joseph C. Crew, the official representative from Washing ton to His Imperial Majesty the Em peror of Japan. Not infrequently Jo overrules his Excellency Ambassador Orew and the "Irish Ambassador feels swell for a week. The English language consists of 29 letters. The Japanese language has more than 10.000 characters. Every newspaper office stocks at least 6800 ordinary characters to properly In form Its readers. Printer devils who have memorized the locations of all these strange characters can "set" a twelve Inch column In an hour. In setting one column they walk about three miles around the type racks that invariably take up an entire floor of a newspaper building. Julian Trlvette, 13, of Winston Salem, N.

Business Better Automobile Field, Says "Bill" Allen f Indicative that southern Oregon people are in a car-buying frame of mind this fall, William Allen, Mcd ford's Dodge and Plymouth dealer, delivered four Dodge passenger and commercial cars during the past week In addition to one Plymouth. The Plerce-Allen Motor company has announced a reduction In Plym outh prices, made possible by the low er cost of shipping through the use of the new Evans loader equipment which eliminates decking charges. With Rogue river valley motorists showing an increasing Interest In the new automobiles particularly this month, Mr. Allen expressed optim ism regarding the immediate future for Dodge and Plymouth sales. exceptional performance possible modern motor cars. "In our advertising copy In the newspapers we are telling the motor ist of Gilmore s application of the principle of controlled power fto gaso line. We explain fully the artlon of this motor fuel: bow It performs like smokeless powder In a long range gun with tremendous energy concentrated on the piston head for the full stroke. "There U no doubt in my mind that this Is the type of Inforr.oatlon . . . and the type of product . . . that modern motorists want. The tbous ands of favorable comments wa have received on this new and franlc ad vertising definitely confirms this." Rowell said the Gilmore concern was thoroughly convinced that news paper advertising Is the most effec tive medium for modern business and that his firm has made plans to citrry on a consistent campaign during the entire year. "When you have a real new story to tell the motoring public, the newspaper is the place for It," Rowtill pointed out. "We have a news stony In controlled power and of course newspapers are receiving a major por tion of our appropriation." Following his conferences herei, Rowell Intends to visit other Gilmore branches of this division before re turning to the home orflce of th concern in Los Angeles. i person Is j car he can At the Florida Dance Hall In Tokyo j there Is very keencompetltlon be- tween the two hundred pretty maids ; who dance with you about five mln- ; utes for three cents. Each girl dresses : as smartly in the latest western : clothes she can afford and the whole lot of them are good dancers. But ! of course every girl cannot get a cus tomer every dance. One cute gal solved the problem. Instead of dress-, lng western clothes she affected the Chinese costume, made up her face in Shanghai manner and now the gay bladea go for her In a big way. Not only Is her costume distinctive, but the Chinese skirt la open at the side controlled by ornamental frogs, that a charming expanse of shapely limb may flash In view at most every step. When dancing with a tall per son she undoes a frog or two or three above the knee and the advertise ment brings results. She sells every dance from 4 p. m. until 11:15 when the dance hall closes.
