PROFITEERING BELIEVED
CAUSE OF UNREST

Washington, Aug. 0.-Profiteering
on a great scale is the cause OF the
unrest and rioting in Japan according
. an explanation in official quarters
here Not only wholesalers and mid
dlemen, dealing in food products and
especially rice, but even the Japanese
farmers who grow the grain have been
holding back their stores and de-
manding greatly inflated prices.
Now that the Japanese government
has seized these stores of rice prepar-
atory to distributing them to the peo-
pie at reasonable prices, it is believed
here, the popular discomfort will be
allayed.
There has also been some difficulty
in the matter of transportation, Japan
sharing with the allies in the need for
sufficient ocean bottom. Consequent
~ the procurement Of rice from the
usual sources in British India and
Siam has been obstrueted.

California Has Jap Village.

Few people realize that in the United States there is a village composed en- tirely of Japanese, who live their lives just us they did before leaving the Flowery kingdom. This quaint spot of interest is north of the long pier, mile from Santa Monica, Cal. Here is the home of number of Japanese fishermen. Their native lress, food and the daily routine of their lives are carried out as though the little vil- Iage were on the far shore of Nippon. On Sundays are to be seen the native sports of the Japanese. The geisha girls serve tea and bonbons to visitors, while the young men display their prowess at wrestling, jiujitsu and other Oriental pastimes.-Los Angeles Times. N-

LIFE PRIMITIVE AND RUGGED
Scenes on Bosom of RussIa's Mighty
 River Cannot Be Duplicated Anywhere on Earth.

The days on the Volga are as alike ns the white towns strung on the Volga chain, and all laden with sense of life sluggish and primal and poten- t!al. The scent of pines, of new-mown hay, of drying nets, and the fragrance of lilies; brawny red-shirted sailors shouting and splashing each other with water us they scrub the decks; the whistling of grain steamers; the sound of hammers from barges building along the shore; anchor chains rattling as we drop into the wharf where fisher men are unloading their shining catch. It Is a robust river life, not familiar, but transposed into strange keys and staged largely.
 The rafts seemed the most essen italy Russian part of the Volga. We had seen them before. Gargantuan yellow logs. as delicious looking as taffy, dragged from a forest in Tver and bound together with saplings, each raft bearing tiny hut for the fam- files who make the journey with the rafts to the sea. Now we met them on the river peopled with rolllclSing figures, who balanced themselves with long poles and laughed and shouted unintelligible cries to us as the surge of the steamer threatened their foot hold.
 The trackcrS, horilaki. we never say; debased men of herculean strength, muscles knotting in their hairy throats, thews straining like horses against the dead weight of Inc bnrges as Riepin had painted tbem. They have passed with the sails. But the other figures on the rafts, ip the fishing boats-are their brothers. And never have felt life emerging SD freshly from the black mold.-olive Gnbreath in the Yale Re. view.

Chinese Exports of Human Hair.

Since the abolition of the queue af- ter the fall of the Manchu dynasty long pigtails of Chinese hair are no longer readily available. The dealers are relying more and more on the combings of women, although there are men who make 1t part of their business to let their hair grow to about eight inches In length and then sell 1t to the barber, who in turn sells to the small trade in hair. For exporting, hair Is assorted according to length and tied In punches. Most of the exports go to England, France and the United States. where the hair Is bleuehed with peroxide. thinned with acid and boiled in dye. It is titus rendered finer in texture and, incidentally absolutely sanitary. The appearance of the hair Is also completely changed.
