Indeed, had It not been for the for, we never would have got. our most Intimate glimpse of Japanese village life, eayi Lea Arnold. At Id o'clock on the morning of May 20 we left our planes and gave up hops of flying on south until the morrow. So ws started out to explore the streets of anketo, near where the American end Japanese destroyers rode at ant hor is Hitokappu bay What a pleasant contrast this village wai to the miserable buddies of huts in the Aleutian Is'ands We had heard that many Japanese were discarding their picturesque customs and costumes and adopting those of Europe and America. But up here on this island we were seeing Japan of just as It was barely a century ago, when the famous American navigator. Commodore Mathew Galbraith Ferry, landed at a little fishing village called Yokohama and inhabiastounded the aeniftxarttsrou tants by showing them telegraphic Ina struments, toy train, and many that thev other inventions of had never seen before Vp to that time foreigners had not been allowed to enter Jatan. but, thanks to the diplomacy of Commodore Perry, the mikado let down the bars and Japan soon became anything but a hermit Robbins Predicts Prosper ity in California Will Aid Mountain- States. 4 - California and tha north Pacific will draw mors and more on tha InUrmountaln country for foodstuff a, such eta (rraln, flour, potato, vege-- . table, certain classes of fruit and raw material This statement-wa-s made yesterday by B.

Alder Miss Christie Parrv and Miss Hortense Sid ell gave Christmas music. Christmas candles were served at the close of the meeting and An informal social followed BY VILLAGE. Ws were fascinated with the village of anketo. with Its tiny houses that looked like erg shells Here for the first time dime leaving 8irka Alaska, we saw trees To be sure, thev wer squatty, stunted ones, sort of flat on top, like you see on old Japanese prints and Japanese fans Here, too, for the first time since Feattie we raw horses, shaggy haired little animals not rquch bigger than a Shet- land pony. Of course, we saw little of the home life of the people while making our 2000 mile flight through the Japanese empire However, we were strolling down the street in Yanketo when J&panse gentleman with much smiling and bowing indicated "hat he xW, anted us to follow him. He led us arqoas a little garden and at the door of a house which proaed to be the homeXof our new acquaintance we were nuHJ by a petite maiden who got down on the porch and bumped her dainty headseveral times before us Puszled and aHUtle embarrassed, we took off our shoeVAbout all we knew of the customs oNJapan was that boots, shoes, goloshes'gnd other footgear must always be lelton the outside. ROOM MINU8 FURNITURE. Shuffling along In our woolly flying sox, we entered a room as innocent erf furniture as Erik s head of hair, before he started on this flight. The maid brought in a small Iron stove that stood on three legs, hibachl, I believe they call It We all skt around on cushions while the ladv of the house, who had also come in with another bumping of the head to the floor cerernony, deftly arranged a tiny pile of clmrcoaj so it would burn better. The amount of heat that little charcoal gave out was surprising As we smiled one to another and attempted in tain to carry m a conversation by means of gestures alone, our hostess brewed tea over the charcoal fire in a brass kettle. Then the maid insinuated herself softly through one of the panels with & tray of wee 'lea cupa Thus far the onyfthlng regarding our world flight that General Patrick and Lieutenants. 8treott and Brown had overlooked wras to give us a course in Japanese etiquette So how should we know that we were being rude when we failed to show our appreciation of the tea by sipping it noisily like vou pccasionaltv hear some one ul Bargains- - the MoClure . playing a noodle soup obbligato In a Los Angeles cafeteria. KNEW ONLY SAKE." 'Much as ws eniojed ths little surprise party, and much As w appreciated this really' rare privilege of entering a Japanese home, the affair had Its painful moments because our hosts spoke no English end the only w'prdof Japanese that we knew waa sak Wloixyyr. we now realised that w had mads a faux paua In faitfng to whistle our tea aa our host d d. Am a matter of fact, Jack did turn away for a moment and try it Hut instead he laughed and blew the wrong way, with the result that he blew te er me Worst irf all. however, waa our embarrassment in not Iwlng able to make our feet Inconspicuous by aitting on them after the fashion of our honorable host. At last we were reluctantly obliged to tf ke our leave, and with much bowing on both stdewhwe betook ourseiws to the wrestling matches that bad been specially arranged for us bv the crfws of the two Japanese destroyers These bouts were better than a circus The contestants stripped Ard wore nothing but a breech cloth. We were much impressed by the superb physical condition of these men Although a cold afternoon, and although we wore our heavy flying clothes they were without protection and seemed to need none. TEAMS OF WRESTLERS. There were two teams, each made up of five wrestlers The idea seemed to be to push each other out of a circle or throw him out Only two men hen occupied the ring at a time. one lost, then another wrestler fr.im his side stepped In, nnd the match continued until all of the wrestlers on one side were defeated Before each combat the two men would sprinkle salt In front of each other and mutter a few magic wqrda of gibberish This waa supHsed to drive off the devils that the other man had helping him Then thev would slap their knys, grunt a bit. and hop at each other like game cocks. After the match was over the Japanese officers end wrestlers came on board one of the American destroyers, whre coffee and cake were sen ed That night Commander McClaren regaled us with blood curdling tales of how the Chinese do away with prisoners and criminals bv burying them up to their chins and then leaving them. when wd turned Into our bunks It was to dream of Japanese wrestlers, smoking volcanoes, Chinese executions. and maidens In dainty kimonos bumping their heads before us. NEXT DAY FOGGY. "Next day waa foggy also and we were unable to hop off Tor Mtnato until 520 the following morning On this trip we flew over more Islands, smoking volcanoes, and above a cloud bank that cut u off from the workl beneath for a distance of eighty miles Perhan the most Interesting feature qf this flight was seeing the villagers out of their huts and running nHhlng dotvW to the shore to watch us Occasionally we passed a village near the basKof a mountain, and there the Inhabitants would be right up on the tiptop oL the peak, where thev could see us from the beet point of vantage.
