JAPANESE WOMAN AT 100
Leaves Her Home on a Sightseeing
Tour of Her Country.

From the Japan Advertiser.
The vernacular papers are making con-
siderable fame for a woman named Mani
Shimooka, said to be $50 years old, who
comes from Yamaguchi prefecture and is
marvelously robust in health.
According to her statement. she has no
relatives at home and, being DESTROYS OF
sightseeing, she left her home October
IA and set out on foot for Osaka and Kioto
without money. On the way, however, she
met several sympathizers who furnished
travelling expenses which enabled her to
make a pleasant tour in Osaka and ad-
joining towns.
She subsequently visited the Momoyama
Mausoleum since she cherisheS a special
gratitude toward the throne, which has
conferred gifts upon her several times on
account of her advanced age. Her pres
ent expedition to Toxic was chiefly
prompted by her desire of seeing the i'm
perial castle and If possible the emperor,
TO whom she wished to express her con-
dolences in person.
The old lady is described as an excellent
conyersationalist and a wit, one who
bears no impression of her great age.
Several houses have been placed at her
disposal by curious sympathizers. and
with other notables she Is going to hon.
or with a visit there is Count Okuma, with
whom she is expected to exchange views
on the subject Of longevity.

And now comes a doctor to try to re-

to secure as even a distribution of air
over the body as possible. But clothing
at best is a necessary evil and should be
the skin to come into contact freely with
the air.
This seems very reasonable, and leads
the thought into various speculative chan
nels We know what delicious and health
giving contacts the skin is capable OF
having, as in our ocean surf plunges. Our
other means Of acquiring sensation and
perception are open to nature. The eye,

lively captive. Who knows to what sem
sibility the skin might attain IL, wherever
possible, we encouraged It to develop free
relations with the sun and the changing
atmosphere? A touch. or skin art. might
be developed. something resting on re-
fined tactile sensibility corresponding to
music for the ear and plastic art for the
eye.

general practice. in 30 far as the weather
permitted, 1t might also have a very
healthy effect on our sculpture and our

learn to associate morality and conduct

move the old buildings of the poorhouse
and the Jail from the public reservation
that borders the Eastern branch is to
be found in current conditions. For 1t
is no longer true that these buildings
are remote from the built-up sections of
the city. In fact, on the contrary, owing
to the. progress in building in recent
years, the city has come quite up to
them.
All this is quite evident to any one who

THINKS DR.. THORNTON

Glenn Brown Gives Him Credit
for Buildings of Virginia Edu-

That DR. William Thornton. the author
Of the original design of the Capitol build
ing. also prepared the original drawings
Of the buildings for the University of
Virginia is the belief of Glenn Brown.
Credit has always been given for the
form and arrangement of this interesting
group of buildings to Thomas Jefferson,
but from letter of DR.. William Thorn
ton. which Mr.. Brown recently found in
the j. Henley Smith collection in the
Library of Congress. he has reached
the conclusion that the credit belongs to
DR.. Thornton.
Mr.. Brown has also made a careful ex-
animation Of the original drawings in the
custody Of the university and found MOTH
ing to indicate that Jefferson claimed the
design. He also concludes from the de-
scriptions in the Thornton letter that
these are the drawings which were sent
to Jefferson by Thornton in response to
a request from the former dated at Month
cello Nav @. 1917.
