JAPANESE SKETCH
DELIGHTS CROWD.
..,.,o tho Road to Tokyo" Proves 4
D.llghtsul Journey With Mr..
and Mrs .MlchatarS'
ongawa.
HANGING is WONDERFUL
syo-san'' proves Revelation to the
american Audience With Her
Graceful steps and Droll
lmpersonatIon.

One OF the most unique as well as
artistic and entertaining sketches
which it has been the good fortune OF
Keok,lk people to witness was given
last evening under the auspices OF
the Monday Music club by Mr.. and
Mrs Michitaro Ongawa, and was
Japanese playlet entitled "Along the
Road to Tokyo"
Japanese music, Japanese legends
and dances with beautiful costuming
and, scenery made the entertainment
one of the most complete that has
ever been attempted. Michitaro On
eawa is native of Japan, while his
wife is an American girl who has
studied in this country and abroad.
Together they make fascinating
pair for just such a sketch.
To Mrs. Ongawa must be given the
greatest share OF praise. She imi-
tated the Japanese dialect and ac-
tons to perfection. Cute" possibly
would be the best adjective to use In
describing some OF her limitations. In
her dancing Mrs. Ongawa was reve-
lation to the American audience Jap
snese dancing consists Of series OF
turing. Mrs. Ongawa was the very
embodiment Of grace and rhythm in
her dancing. Possibly her best was
in the Cherry Blossoms dance, when
with two sprays OF the blossoms she
greets her lover, the returned soldier
boy.
In the butterfly dance and the
Green Willow dance, she best illus
trated the use of her hands and arms
One could see the butterfly as 1t fit
ted here and there just by the grace
full motions OF her hand and arm.
And in the Green Willow dance, Mrs.
Ongawa seemed to have caught the
very spirit Of the dropping supple tree.
Plays HIS Part We'll.
Michatrao Ongawa portrayed his
Japenese parts to perfection. He ap-
peared in his first dance as pilgrim
on the way to Full mountain and his
sacred dance was most unusual. The
next appearance was as a strolling
story teller, and he-related the old
Japanese legend of the Mountain OF
Skulls. The announcement was moth
Ing short of startling to say nothing
OF the unusual character of the story
Ongawa's sword dance breathed the
very spirit OF the Samari. His final
appearance was as the returned lover
ct 70 San, who recltes the tales OF
glorious war. He appeared in the
full costume Of a captain of the i'm
perial guard.
On the Road to Tokyo" tells the
story of a young japanese girl who
has started before daybreak to make
the journey to Tokyo after visit
with friends in the country. The first
glimpse of 70 San is with her Ian

sings and dances along the road and

Mrs. Ongawa as 70 San added
many clever little touches to her i'm
preservation. Not the least of these
was her description Of an American
girls dress and hat, her walk and
her ability to consume chocolate ice
cream. And as Yo San wonders
whether she will n rry her American
admirer, she comes to the conclusion
that Japan is for the Japanese girl
and gives up her dream. AS she sings

The Mr.. Page she had alluded to
had come into Lucias life quite prom
inently Of late. He had charge OF q
school supported by the manufactur'
ing plants at the edge of the town.
The work was purely philanthropic.
It was profound admiration for the
way in which he had won the interest
and love Of his poor pupils. that had
caused Lucia herself to long to be OF
assistance in cooperating to raise the
social and educational status OF the
forlorn little ones.
Lucia would never forget to her
dying day one golden afternoon when
she was strolling by the riverside
with Harold Page. discussing new
plans for the benefit Of their mutual
work. Suddenly Harold had sprung
from her side. Then she saw that
little girl playing in a boat tied to
the shore near the mill dam had fall
en- into the water. Just In time Mr..
Page made plunge that rescued the
imperiled child from sure death.
The little one was more frightened
than hurt. When Page carried her
to a grassy plot. Lucia sat down to
care for the weeping child, and her
rescuer lowered near by to soothe her
with gentle words. "Oh, dear Mr..
Page! You was so good, so grand to
jump in and get all wet and mussed
up, Just for q bad, naughty little girl"
She was so grateful. SO happy, that
she seized his hand. She drew 1t
close to that of Lucia, and kissed them
both, and held them there so close
together that Lucia blushed and Page
looked embarrassed. 1t awoke Lucia
to a quick comprehension of the fact
that she had found her ideal at last.
1t nerved Mr.. Page to speak out what
had been in his heart for some time.

walked slowly homeward, anybody

that you were the great heiress they
said. But l have learned that your
work here is real soul labor. I have
something more in worldly wealth
than my humble but glad position here
would seem to indicate. Let me share
It with you"
And on such a dreamy, mellow eve

from such man. Lucia Forsythe

BY GEORGE ELMER COee' :.
Daniel Forsythe considered himself
one Of the most fortunate men In tho
world when he became partrer with
Roger Bell He was getting old, his
new business cares would be light
and Bell was q money maker. Besides
that, young Denzil Bell and Lucia
Torsythe were engaged.
Il was true that young Bell was BY
no means the man the old business
veteran would generally have select
Cd for q son-in.law. The scion OF the
Bells was idle, without ambition,
tickle and a spendthrift. As to Lucia.

the fashionable young men with whom
she was brought in contact in the So

riageable age. however. and the princi'
pal anxiety Of her father was to see
her settle down." as he expressed it.
She sighed q trife. and then in her
great love for her father she decided

Then. rudely, Unexpectedly, came
the darkest day in the life Of old Dan
Tel Torsythe. With q crash the great
house Of Bell, Forsythe & Co. went
down in ruin. All Of the Forsythe for

ever, were notorious for having ever

creditors were settled with the Bells
Jew as high as ever. Mrs. Bell had .

family could drift along very pleas

spirited Denzil Bell did was to break
the engagement with Lucia. She had
expected it, and was devoutly glad
that It had come about.

father. "And now the engagement is
broken. 1t brushes me to think Of

NOBLE INDIANS STILL LIVE

It is difficult to realize that this

early Floridas, says the Christian Her

United States government, would &C.

through the men who have won their
confidence, or through others aligning
with these. The gauntest straggler

For example. use 80 pounds tn q tire

Az underinhation IL such q univer-
sal cause of trouble, 1t develops that
the reason the average motorist does
not give the air pressure In his tires
the attention he should, is because he
does not realize It's importance.
In addition to pointing out the dan
ger OF underinfation 1t Is necessary
to show how to guard against It..
There are two precautions the motor
list can take which will do this; one
is to innate the tire properly at irst,
and the other is to add to the tire
every few days enough air to balance
what has been lost in the meantime
No tire Is absolutely alright, so 1t
should be inflated every few days.
To be sure about the proper pressure,
the motorist should use pressure
gauge. A number of reliable and In
expensive gauges are on the market
which will pay for themselves several
times in reducing tire expense.
: To summarize then, an analysis OF
the causes of deficient tire service by
the leading tire manufacturers shows
that in over rs per cent Of the cases,
runderinfiation Is responsible. Under
imitation ruin can be avoided by OBJ
serving the following rule. Cut this
out and carry 1t in your pocket or
paste 1t up in your garage:
Keep Tires Inflated According
to the Following:
2h-inch- so lbs. 4h-inch- 80 lbs.
3 inch so lbs. s .inch--lO0 lbs.
3h inch 70 lbs. 5h-inch-11O lbs.
inch 80 lbs. 6 -inch-12O IDS
Use q pressure gauge and test your
tires at least twice a week, pumping
in what they need to bring the pres
sure up to the required amount. II
Is not enough to initiate the tire prop
erly. when you do initiate It, for II II
isn't inflated again soon. the pressure
will drop tar below the recommended
amount The average pressure should
be kept as nearly as possible equai
to the recommended pressure.
