In a recent letter, Mrs. Stoll
wrote of a trip which she ana
Stoll wrote that Kyota is the
cultural center ox oupan, wm
former capital. The palace is re

wrote, and on the grounds are
tea houses, oeauiuui lanes w.m
arches and many bamboo trees.
There are reception houses for
low, middle and high class Jap
anese who come to visit the em
peror.

"All these beautiful grounds
are kept up by quae a sum,
she wrote, "and to me it seems
such a waste when I see how
crowded the people live. Kyota
has a population of one million
and is the third largest city in
Japan; just think, that is the
population 01 me wnuie aioic -

Mrs. Stoll also wrote of visit
ing factories, gift shops and
shrines, and mentioned that
there are some 1,500 shrines of
one sort or another in the Kyota
district. "You see very young
and very old people working in
these factories, each with his
little teapot on a hot plate be
side him."
Sees Parad
In another letter Mrs. Stoll
wrote of watching a large parade
in Tokyo. "It was held on the
palace grounds and we saw close
to 15,000 troops pass in review,
plus airplanes from the carrier
'Boxer'." she wrote. The parade
was in honor of the chiefs of
staff of army, navy, and airforce,
and they were on the reviewing
stand. General MacArthur was
not present. They say he seldom
goes to these parades. Guess he
is getting too 01a.
"The embassies of practically
every country were represented,
and we could watch them all
drive 11 n in their foreign cars
Quite Impressive, but I was glad
1 was just a spectator."
She wrote that on "Manila
Dav." a holiday, the Stolls and
another couple visited the Fujia
hotel, some 50 miles from TOKyo,
Take Off Shoes
Another time Mrs. Stoll wrote
of visiting the Eastern club, in
Yokohama, writing that this is
a Japanese house converted into
the American version of a cafe
except that the food is served
Japanese style. "We had to take
our shoes off before entering,
and we had skiacki which was
cooked on the hibachi in the
iddle of a very low table, at
which we sat.
'We also ate with chop sticks.
and that is an art at which I am
not very adept. Skiacki is sort
of like a stew. They use either
beef or pork cut into very thin,
small steaks. They start that
cooking in a soy sauce, then add
cut up onions, carrots, cabbage,
turnips, skirataki (like spaghetti
except transparent.) It was very
good and we enjoyed it They
use so few dishes and cooking
utensils that I wonder if our
maids don't think we are crazy
to use so many dishes and silver.
"Skoshl wants me to order
some shoes and a purse out of
our Sears catalog, so I have to
figure out how many yen she
will will need. It takes 360 yen
to make a dollar."

Farmers Urged to
Vaccinate Pigs
Against Cholera
Washington. Apr. 18 U.PJ
Farmers were urged today to
vaccinate their young pigs
aguinsi cuoicra mis year, al
though apparently the vaccina
tion killed some hogs last year.
The agriculture department
assured farmers that all investi
gation indicates that all current
stocks of anti-hog cholera serum
are free of the "variant virus"
which assured some losses among
treated hogs in the midwest last
year.
Greater Loss Danger
There will be danger of "far
greater losses" this year, the de
partment said, if farmers "take
a chance" and do not vaccinate
at all.
"Early and increased doses of
anti-hog-cholera serum is the
surest means of protecting
against widespread appearance
of this disease this year, said.
The deaths of vaccinated hogs
last year were attributed largely
to a "variant virus" contained in
the virus-serum used for vaccina
tions. The serum did not protect
the hogs against the variant form
of the virus. It is unlikely that
the variant will appear again
for some time, the department
said.
As added insurance against
losses, the bureau of animal in
dustry suggested that farmers
vaccinate pigs before they are
weaned, and give them more
than the standard dose of serum.
