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

"Mr, Lardo" will appear In the ring
with a star plastered on his hip or

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

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

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.

who dance with you about five mln- ;

as smartly in the latest western :
clothes she can afford and the whole

of course every girl cannot get a cus

solved the problem. Instead of dress-,

Chinese costume, made up her face in

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

dance from 4 p. m. until 11:15 when
the dance hall closes.
