has a young Chinaman as assist
ant chef, and since recent per-
Torrance of his they refuse to be-
lieve tie ancient saying that the
Chinese have no sense of humor.
This Chinaman has friend, a
young Japanese, employed as a
valet in nearby home, and often
call him on the telephone. The
other night there was dinner in
the Riverside drive house, and the
Chinaman waited at table. There
was much talk of the dangers of
war with Japan, the menace of the
Japs nthe coast, etc. The China
man came and went and seemed
to hear nothing. After dinner one

near the telephone as the China
man took the receiver off the
hook. He got the home where the
Jap is employed. and said po-
litely: "Yamakichi. he there? Me
like to speak to him." A minute
later he spoke again:
"That you. Yamakichi? Hello,

There Is an ideal heroine for a

Great Need of Streets
ON the Tideflats

in shape for travel. There Is one
street car line to the tidefats, but
the way that section of the city is
going ahead 1t cannot begin to take
caer of the men who are employed
there at present. What is to be
done when other shops and manu-
featuring plants open up?
New additions with 25-foot lots
are being plated on the tidefats
right along. The city council
should not allow such plats until
streets have been put through and
graded. Large areas that have
been plated are under water. The
idea of a viaduet across Eleventh
street is a good thing, but It Is
going to take time to work out
the proposition. In the meantime
how are men to get to and from
their work."
Organizations Backward.
Other men interested in the de-
velopment of the city share the
views of Mr.. Balkwill. Surprise
IS expressed that the Chamber of
Commerce and Commercial club
have not taken more interest In
the question of getting streets for
the tidefats.
