Note The American note on the agenda and also the Shantung question, it is learned, were considered at Tuesday's cabinet meeting, which decided to make public the correspondence concerning Shantung, including the text of the latest propoaul to China, the belief being expressed that publicity was the best way of handling this problem. . Reports that the American government was interesting itself in the arrangement of an equitable solution of the Shantung question have caused great satisfaction in Japanese circles. According to the Asaiah Shimbun, Foreign Minister Uchida told the cabinet he was hopeful of smoother pro gress now for the Shantung negotiations. Proposals Liberal Japan's proposals to China relative to the restoration of Shantung are considered by newspapers as most liberal, and belief is expressed that they form a basis for negotiations which may clear away the controversy over the future status of Shantung. The Asahi Shimbun points out that other interested powers could participate in the negotiations for the opening up of the interior of Shantung. "Japan's abandonment of an exclusive settlement of the Shantung matter and her preferential rights there, and the restoration of customs," the newspaper continues, "constitute new features in Japan's program of restitution."

THE

People of the Road ' By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. To any one who has traveled the trans-continental highways from time to time in the past few years, the most astonishing phenomenon of the West is the growing procession of motor cars equipped for long journeys that follows them. No one seems to have gathered any figures on the number of persons in this country who take to the Gypsy life every summer, but the number must be enormous and it is certainly growing. A few years ago the automobile laden with camp equipment was a novelty. Now the coast-to-coast highways are an almost unbroken string of them. Every, little town along these routes has a free camping ground which is nearly always crowded. In the less settled portions of the West, every good spring beside the road. has become a caravanserai. There are sections where you can see more people living in tents than in houses. The growth of this jitney-gypsying may be gauged, too, from the development which equipment for such a life has undergone. You can buy complete living furniture for your car al most as easily as you can buy it for your flat, and the degree of comfort which you can achieve is limited only hy your means, v This return to the camp life has been noted painfully by inn-keepers along the road. They have for some time been used to the spectacle of the middle western farmer, who has sold out and is going farther west in his jitney, looking for a new location. He has always camped beside his jitney just as his father camped beside a prairie schooner. But of late years even the wealthy have taken to camping. The ingenuity and amount of the equipment which they produce at night is astonishing. Many of them have trailers which are complete sleeping compartments, as comfortable as those in Pullman cars, and others have contrivances that mysteriously tinfurl from the side of the car, evolving into nice beds with roofs over them. Cooking equipment Is equally complete. A third type is the car which has a house built on the chasis. One man had such a house, which he had built himself, that contained two bunks and a table and chair, and was of such light and strong that a flivver had successfully carried it over the transcontinental divide. An American Tendency. It Is doubtful if any other country in the world could match this army of auto campers. For this country was peopled by nomads. Scientists tell us that the nomadic impulse runs In families. It was the nomadic immilse I which carried most of our ancestors to mo Mmie, anu wnicn sem later generations to the conquest of the West. The same hankering to wander is In most of us, and in the last few years it ha3 found an alluring expression in this cross country wandering. People who never camped before in their lives have suddenly found that it is possible to be comfortable in a tent, and have felt the ancient charm of a roving Jife , The transcontinental roads have in face become, for the warm months at least, a sort of complete wandering community, with all the classes represented. The roads have their idle 1 rich, their middle class, their voeman-

be-'ry, their vagrants and their criminals.

hit is their boast that they have never stopped at a hotel. Perhaps the next car to pass and it will be but a little way behind is that of a business man and his family. They live in St. Louis, and after many family conferences have decidsd to go to California in the old family bus or bust. Everybody is burned quite red and having a beautiful time. Mother is learning to make biscuits in a dutch oven, the children want to keep doing this the rest of their lives, and father has already sampled 15 different golf courses and 19 local varieties of hooch. One jump behind this family party is a flivver laboring under a heavy load. It contains a man from Missouri who has sold his farm at a high figure and is giong West with his family, where he can buy three times as much land for the same money. In due course he will sell out and move again. His father moved from Massachusetts to Missouri in a wagon, and his grandfather came from Ireland in a sailing vessel. He is but carrying on the family tradition. Jitney Hoboes and Pirates, Next comes a very rusty and de-crepit-loking machine with a couple of overalled men in it. These may be long to any one of several classes. There are large numbers of floating laborers now who go from place to place along the main roads looking for work. News of lucrative work In harvest field or lumber camp may send them a thousand miles in a few days. They always camp, pay no rent, and their food costs them little. They en joy a free and interesting life and work not more than half the time. Many of them are good fellows, ready to help you if you are stuck in a mudhole. Others are thieves, always ready to steal tires or any other equipment that may be lying around loose. There is a well-recognized class of these jitney pirates. You hear tales of their depredations all along the road. There are some armed highwaymen, too. The favorite ruse of these is worked again!

and again. The robber hides his own car and tramps along the road, feigning the part of the footsore wayfarer. He hails cars that pass, preferring those that contain only one man. Always sooner or later someone compassionately picks him up. This dialogue followed in one instance : "Could you give me a cigarette?" Driver stops and pulls out box of cigarettes. - "Match?" Autolst gives him match. "Now give me your roll!" Autoist, who was just about to start his car, turns in surprise and finds himself looking down the barrel of a gun, one inch from his head. He passes over his pocketbook and watch. "Now start your car." He does. The bandit steps from the running board with a polite nod and smile of thanks. "Don't stop," Is his final order. So the road is not without its perils. But don't shun it on thaf account. It is no more perilous really than living at home. And the road is romance and adventure and fresh air and health. Here the jitney of the poor man, working his way, is as welcome as the limousine of the millionaire, Water, wood and scenery are free to the mall. Let no man say that he is too poor to travel.

MURRAY VAUDEVILLE. j If you like vaudeville you should be pleased with the bill now playing at the Murray. A trio of witty songsters probably comose the feature of the four acts offered. Two young men and a beautiful woman compose the personnel. 'Tis true that there is not much upon which to build a clever act, but the personality of the three, together with their winning mannerisms, is delightful. An occasional song by the group is well given. They call themselves Lancton, Smith and Lancton. Martha Hamilton and company take part in a farcical sketch truly amusing. Miss Hamilton is the wife who spends her $75 weekly in little gambling parties. Consequently she so runs in debt that her poor hubby finds his gnawing stomach without chance for relief in his wife's kitchen, and his household goods being carted away by installment collectors. All ends hap pily. Two genuinely colored performers are a novelty on the bill. Comedy is 1 so aptly meted out that the couple re ceived Thursday afternoon the best applause of the day. They failed to return for an encore, however. The best bicycle trick riding of any competing for honors, is the opinion rendered in favor of Valentine and Bell, playing on first. They ride nearly anything with one or more wheels. Their act is cleverly and commendably accomplished. Much appreciation is expressed by the audience. . Shirley Mason in "Lovetime," is the film feature.

But a natural grace and ease had 'won for him a reputation as a dancer in Italy. . .. r, . r Upon arriving in New York, Mr. Valentino became associated with members of the theatrical profession and before long his ability as a dancer attracted them. Bonnie Glass was one of the first to realize his ability and as a result signed him up as her dancing partner. They first appeared at Rector s.
