small dark head, with its black rings

from her forehead, held very erect her
small brown face under its coating OF
rouge and powder IS absolutely eN-
pressionless. only her narrow eyes,
staring steadily out at the blue green
world without stretching all about her,
are alive.
It has been raining, and the smell Of
the wet earth rises like incense out OF
the red sanded paths of the garden
around the tea house.
A thin Ainkle Of music comes from
somewhere below, but otherwise the
tea house is very still O-KO-San's tired
little geisha soul goes wandering.
It is the time Of cherry blossom, and
all the world Is one white flower.
It is also the time of war, and all
the little brown meG OF Japan have
been turned into little brown soldiers.
From all the villages around, toy
houses peeping from frOth of bios
som, they go marching, marching, I'M
til there are none left to work IN the
rice fields but women and the old, old

O-KO-San's heart is heavy as she

laughs Ehrilly. Very sweet is the smell
of the cherry bloom. Very far OFF seems
the war. Presently he lets her go.
"SayOnara. oh, O-KO-SanH He has
spoken the words in her ear and on her

Editor FL PasO Herald
Reviewing your current editorials on
the prohibition vote in Maine and
Texas, e broader view reveals more
than a dog fall. On reflection, it is
apparent that a difference Of only 5000
in AIS. 900 I'm Texas and % In 125. 900 in
Maine means that the majority Of the
better citizenship stands for prohibl-
ton.
Eliminate the vote of the liquor traf-
fic, the saloon, the baWdy house. the
ward heller. the vote buyer, the vote
seller. the bought vote. the uliterate
vote, the Illegal vote, the corrupt pO-
HuCal ring, false election returns, the
laWbreaker, the gambler. the smuEgler,
the perJurer. the briber, the CRATER,
the thief. the rObber. the murderer. the
pimp, the bum and the slum. and
America stands for prohibition
It is not surprising that so many
men line. up on the clean, law abiding
side Of the issue.
