WHAT TO SEE JN TOKtO

4 31 r / 11 mH

(Prepared toy th. National GengraphW Society. Washington. D. C.) TO GET a mentor picture of Tokyo one must hold clearly in mind that Japan’s capital is not really a city but a collection of towns and villages, grown together. These settlements preserve their entity in the 15 •’wards" frequently mentioned In dispatches relating events in the city. Tokyo has a peculiar sentimental tie with our own national capital, because the Japanese cherry blossom trees in Potomac park, in Washington. constituted a gift to us, which was recognized by sending to Tokyo a consignment of American dogwood trees. There they form an annual magnet for thousands of Japanese residents at the time of their blooming. When one sails up the bay of Tokyo to Yokohama, and buys a railroad ticket to Tokyo, he senses the distinctive group form of Japan’s capital. For the ticket reads “Shlnagawa." or "Shinbashi," not “Tokyo." The Imperial palace is in the aristocratic ward, or “Ku," known as Ko-jimocht-Ku. In this palace, originated by Ota Dokwan in 1456. formerly lived the Tokugawa Shoguns. This palace bears witness to the frequent casualties of Tokyo; it often was burned, the last time tn 1873. It is not accessible to the public. A Japanese guide-book naively says, “Ordinary people are allowed to approach only as far as the end of the first bridge outside the outer gate." The palace grounds are surrounded by two moats; the perimeter of the outer one is about five miles. In this ward also is the central railway station, with buildings occupying two acres. One of four entrances Is reserved for the use of the imperial family. The Isatin quarter of Tokyo Iles In Kanda Ku. Here is the Tokyo Higher Commercial school, the first school of that kind established by the government when it launched upon a policy of adopting western business methods. Upon the grounds of this school grow pine trees which are survivors of the grove standing there when the school tract was part of the Shogun’s pleasure park. This wan! also Is famous for a wiltow-tree thoroughfare. Its second-hand clothes stores, and a Shinto shrine which dates to the Eighth century. It la an “Official" City. While each ward retains distinctive characteristics of the time when it was a separate town, and each has Its own business section. Tokyo as a whole has a distinctive individuality. It is an “official" city, and frankly so. Official hours, official guides, official guide books and official seasons for various sights and scenes are officially proclaimed. You come away with asense of having been officially conducted through a fairyland of cherry blossoms, of noisy lotus Howers that bloom with a detonation, of doll’s festivals, of Geisha girl dances. The old survives alongside the new. The Geisha girl continues to perform though the cafeteria has made its advent in Tokyo. The Geisha girl is an Institution hard for the western mind to comprehend. Her most comparable functionary in the western world was the court jester—long since passed away. She Is a modern prototype of the private entertainers of wealthy medieval noble#. She is of a class different from the women of Japan who cling to their semi.seclusion amid the Inroads of modernism; but she is not of the' type whigh westerners class as the demimonde. Restaurants and tea houses in Tokyo still have their Gelslta girls. The Japanese business man, student, official, or visiting fanner are the patrons. More often It is a party of men friends whom the Geisha girl entertains with song, dance and monologue. and fbr whom she acts as a sort of hostess. Custom does not fill these restaurants with husbands and wives, men and their fiancees, or friends of opposite sexes, as in America. But the wish to have members of the other sex present is just as strong in Japan as elsewhere. Hence the Geisha girl. Outside the pervading sense of official regulation there is Infinite variety in Tokyo. Exclusive Kajlmachl is very

Ancient Drawbridges The portcullis of castles of medieval times were hung so as to slide ep and down la grooves with counterbalances. They were made of strong framed grating of oaks, the lower joints shod with Iron. Sometimes they were made entirely of metal. The drawbridge was raised bj — -ins tnd counterweights attached to evers projecting from the wall at a wotee i.st: nee above it. The levers

Easy To Find Your Way Around. For the humble traveler by the tram, it is exceedingly difficult to get lost In Tokyo. Each car bears the number of its route and inside, at the ‘ place where, in America, one would see hosiery and washing powder ad vertisements, there is a comprehen-, sive map of the city criss-crossed and ; circled by lines of many colors corresponding to the numbered routes. A knowledge of the language is superfluous. From the guide-book map, or | better from the free map furnished by the Japan Tourist bureau, which j seeks to make Japanese travel de-; lightful, one locates the place he seeks and the place where he stands. Then • it is a mere matter of matching numbers and colors to any spot within the circular railway which forms the rim of the transportation wheel. This Idea of placing a map of the city tn the cars themselves instead of on some sequestered wall around j the station may rob the traveler ol I the cultural advantages of tempting pictures of butter and motor cars, but it makes it easy to wander from village to village within the city limits with the minimum of delay and sign; language. Nihombashi is a principal business quarter of the city, although each ot the wards is more independent, commercially. than the various sections o1 most cities. The center of Nihombashi and of Tokyo, is the bridge which In olden times was a measuring point for distances to places throughout the empire. Formerly It was wood; it was rebuilt in 1911 of granite. It Is the thoroughfare from each end of this bridge which popularly is < known as “Broadway." In Nihombashi is the Bank of Japan occupying a building especially tiesigned to be earthquake-proof. Ont j part of the building has three Stories underground for strong boxes, and this part can be flooded as protection against fire. In this same section oi modern banks and office buildings is a Shinto shrine where charms are dis pensod which are supposed to be efficacious in sucti diverse emergencies as shipwreck, child delivery and being the victim of a liar. “Newspaper Row" Is in Kyobashi- j Ku. Here are practically all the principal journals. Shiba-Ku contains the mortuary temples of the Tokugawa Shoguns. A concession to foreign visitors is Indicated by the announce- J meat. “Boots need not be taken off. as covers are provided to slip over them." In Azahu-Ku is a Buddhist temple, I memento of the years before Shintoism took firm hold. Shintoism has been kept alive in Japan from the. dawn of the empire. Tokyo, as Japan’s capital, became a stronghold of Shintoism because officialdom of Japan support it ardently. Throe Danger* to the City. The Introduction of western buildings greatly enhanced the danger from earthquakes in Tokyo. The fragile houses might be burned and often were, but could not malm their occupants uhder piles of mortar and stone. Fireproof Warehouses were provided for groups of such buildings and when the alarm of fire was sounded the occupants carried off their valuables to these storage places. Tokyo has had three particular furies of her own to harry her over and over again: pestilence, fire and earthquake. From the close of the Sixteenth century when the old fishing village of Yedo blossomed into a elty at the order of the ruling Shogun, j these three have from time to time s taken heavy toll of life, and the latter i two. of property. Perhaps the most terrible of the many fires that have destroyed great | blocks of the inflammable houses of I Tokyo occurred in 1657 when 107.<XJO , persons are said to have lost their ! lives tn the flames. The number of- - destroyed is placed at 500 | and the residences of other nobles at more than 700, while between 300 and 400 temples were horned.

LITTLE BLUE FLOWERS >■ ‘ =====sses=»

(© by D. J, Walsh ) AS MARY BALDWIN stepped from the dusty car into the cool shelter of the Hiltons’ Spanish bungalow, she felt the relief of one who has finished a wearying journey of seventy miles. Mrs. Hilton, hospitable and charming, met her with a kiss quite as if they were old friends instead of chance acquaintances. “Os course you are tired and ex hausted." she said. “Come right to your room. You will have an hour and a half to rest before dinner." Mary, far from home and used to hotels and rooming houses, found a delightful refreshment in the highceiled apartment with its cool Unted walls and draperies. Beyond an open door was visible a gleaming white bathroom which offered every luxury tor the travel-worn body. She laid aside her hat and sank into a wicker cA-air. The entrance of her husband into an adjoining apartment accompanied by a Japanese servant carrying their overnight bags helped her to realise the measure of the hospitality offered them. Rolf sauntered into her room at once, removing wilted collar and Ua as he came. “Some place Hilton’s got here,” he remarked, glancing around admiringly. “Didn’t expect anything like this, did your; Mary shook her head. “These pictures are all signed," she exclaimed as she made the discovery. “Well, we’re in luck. I’ll say,” Rolf commented. “When George Forbes introduced me that night to Hilton I never dreamed he’d ask us out here to this place. He and his wife are reel folks. And see the style they Uta In.” “Do you know,” Mary mused, brushing back her black hair with one slender hand, “I can't imagine why they d/1 ask us. But I've a notion we re going to find out before we leave this bouse.” Rolf did not hear this last sentence tor, whistling softly, he was entering his own apartment As she bathed and brushed her black hair the little eastern woman tried to find a reason tor what was perhaps the pleasantest experience of her whole western trip George Forbes, who was George Forbes anyway? A passing acquaintance of Rolf's but otherwise unaccounted for had introduced Hilton to her husband one night at the Plaza hotel. Incidentally she, too, had met Hilton, had thought him vastly agreeable and then had forgotten him. Then as they moved on to the next town in their sight-seeing tour a letter had caught up with them. Hilton had invited Rolf and her out Co his place for the night. Rolf had accept A even while she hesitated and here they were. After her bath, Mary slept tor half an hour, then arising put od the gown Rolf had Insisted upon her buying for this occasion. It was a simple, lustrous thing of blue and it made her look younger, softer of heart and mind than she was. Rolf, looking big and pink and amiable in the suit which bad been pressed for him by the Japanese' servant, admired her smilingly. “You’re an Infant except tor your sharp little eyes," he said. Mary sighed. Her eyes were sharp, the saw lots of things Rolf never did, and perhaps .it was well, tor her husband someties proved too ignorant tor a scheming world. They went out together and Mrs. Hilton met them with enchanting friendliness. A generous golden, sparkling vision, she seemed unevenly matched with her thin, bold, suave husband. “You love blue, too!” she said with a gracious smile at Mary. “But you have no flowers. I will get you some.” She vanished through the door that led into the garden and was back before Mary had exchanged more than a half-dozen sentences with her host. In her hand she held a bunch of blue (lowers of a color that matched Mary’s gown exactly. Mary’s favorite color, too. She pinned them on her breast with a grateful smile. There was no time for more. The Japanese servant was announcing another guest “I’ve asked Doctor Orr to meet you people,” Mr. Hilton said as he introduced the newcomer. Dinner was announced and they went in. Over her Iced cocktail Mary took a good look at Doctor Orr and teeided she did not like him. She was •ot crazy about Hilton, either. Betide them Rolf looked as gayly innotent as a big blond baby. The fish had arrived when she felt t curious sensation in her breast She put her hand there involuntarily and as she did so she thought she saw the Hiltons exchange a look. Doctor Ontad begun with some Interesting details to discus the subject of some newly opened oil wells in which be

Men Are Originators of Mother-in-Law Jokes

Care! Capet, the famous Czech author, with whose plays “R. U. R." and “The World We Live In" America is familiar, has been writing about the mother-in-law jokes. Capek holds that these jokes are found in the literature of all times —in the Hindu Veda, on Egyptian tombstones, in the Edda and In the Jewish and the Christian Bibles. In fact, he says, the mother-in-law jokes are such an old thing that they have become a sociological phenomenon. Capek adds that it is strange that the proverbial mother-in-law joke always tells of the alleged unfriendly gelation* between herself and her son-in-law, but never of the antagonism to her daughter-in-law. In the same manner the henpecked husband Is defended. but never the arbitrary treatment of a wife by her husband. The playwright asserts that Jests about the mother-in-law and the henpecked husband were created by men. not women. AU such jokes arose at prehistoric times. They came from so-

was interested and Rolf was listening eagerly. Again the uneasiness in her breast. And now Mary could sort the various sensations into their proper shapes and sizes. A series of fiery nips that soon became intolerable. A chill went up her back. There was duck before her now, but she could only make a pretense of tasting it. She was suffering. she was in agony. Yet when she looked down at her bosom the blue flowers rested there Innocently fresh against her white skin. An Impulse to leave the table seized her but the talk was becoming serious. The mere mention of this oil business had taken on a businesslike form. Hilton was urging Rolf to go in on the deal; he himself had gone in heavily. Easiest way in the world to make money, just having it tossed to you so to speak. One knew the ! possibilities of the game. Two years i ago Orr had been a physician with a modest practice, today he was a coming man with a million at his disposal. Mrs. Hilton leaned forward. “You don’t look well, my dear. Wouldn’t you like some fresh air?" Mary shook her head. She could do no more under the situation assailing her. But she would not ieave Rolf at what she perceived to be a crucial moment She caught his eyes and shook her head siightly. She saw his look of surprise, of protest Would her influence hold against the silver tongues of these men? Schemes! Yes, she saw the whole plot now. - But Rolf did not With the curls of misery running up her back, she laughed. “1 don’t think my husband is Interested in your development plan, Doctor Orr. We easterners don’t understand oik We haven’t the adventure spirit We haven’t always the money to seize a sporting chance.” Rolf was scarlet and uncertain, but she tried tor his benefit to settle the full force of her sharp dark eyes upon the other men. And something in her glance made them waver. “My wife," Rolf said a little blindly, “wouldn’t take a chance on a paper of pins—or let me.” She had won. She flashed him a glad look, knowing well that he wouldn’t go back on bis word now that it was said. She endured till the meal ended and then she retired with what grace she had to her own room. Once there she tore off the blue flowers, uncovered her breast. Then she saw what had happened. The blue flowers had been covered with little insects which had congregated easily under her chiffon. They had had quite a meal off her, too. Her hostess, It seemed, was clever as well as charming. The little blue flowers with their lively inhabitants were Invented to get Mary away from the table in order that Orr and his confidants could sell spurious oil stocks to her husband. Her sharp little eyes had seen the scheme and It had failed. Doctor Orr was gone when she returned to the drawing room. “So you took off your flowers," Mrs. Hilton remarked. Mary looked at her. “Yes, but I shall always keep them as a souvenir," she replied. Lava Fields Practically the entire states of Washington and Idaho are covered by great sheets of lava. These sheets were deposited there ages ago. so long ago that dates are entirely lacking, although it was probably millions of years since the great rivers of lava were spouted from many volcanoes. This Is known because, since the lava overflowed almost everything, bones and skeletons found in modern times show the remains of animals that had not lived tor millions of years. Scientists agree that when nature made this enormous area' of lava. It must have affected the entire world. The two immense beds of lava are the greatest known tn all the world— Phlldelphia Inquirer. Early Aviation Feats According to old magazine reports, a Frenchman by the name of Pegoud was the first aviator to loop the loop. The plane used by Pegoud had an engine of small powers and wings of large surfaces with a speed of only 45 miles an hour. Lincoln Beachey shortly afterward made a loop the loop at a speed of 75 miles an hour, carrying a greater weight, using a small-surfaced machine. He accomplished this feat on November 19, 1913, in a Curtiss machine at Lob Angeles. Calif. He was killed on March 14. 1915, while making a flight from the Panama-Pacific exposition grounds at San Francisco.

Danger in Gasoline “Inflammable* in its usual sense implies explosiveness or a character that will burn readily. "Flammable” means exactly the same thing. This resulting confusion has caused the word “inflammable" to be abandoned altogether, “flammable” now being used to indicate ready combustibility, and “non-flammable" for the opposite Perhaps the most flammable material i in general domestic use is gasoline. The vapor from a pint of gasoline, mixed with the proper amount of air. has a destructive power equal to that of a pound of dynamite.

Honor Given Scottish Poet Somewhat Late A memorial to Robert Ferguson, the Scottish poet, has been erected in the Moray aisle of St. Giles’ cathedral, Scotland. At present the only visible evidence that Ferguson lived and died tn Edinburgh is to be found In the Canongnte churchyard. It is the tombstone which Robert Burns erected 15: years after the death of the poet, to whom, on his own confession, he owed so much. Now, after 138 years, a memorial has been erected. The memorial is the result of a contribution made by Hon. James Cralgie, member of the legislative council of New Zealand. Doctor Macgillivray, R. S.
