tune!S He delineates' the character
as the kind of a man he would like
to be. but truly, according to Mrs,
Davis, it is the prototype of the
man he really was.
Robert. Clay was a big, stalwart
man who feared nothing. He was a
man of the outdoors, with a deep
love for nature and frank respect
for his fellow men. He Judged men
not by their positionsin life, but by
their ability to do things. He was
loved and honored by all who knew
him. Robert Clay spoke in short,
frank sentences. He never said any
more than necessary. but always
made it very plain what it was he
wanted 10 get over He was a
mans man, a woman's man, every
body's man. He had a vibrant,
thrilling personality and by his mere
presence made people feel his power.
Just such man was Richard Har-
ding Davis. and he left vivid pic

Japanese Woman Will
Discard Kimonos Soon
For American Style

Dallas, Tex, JAM 3.-Japanese
women. famed for their kimono-
style attire, are about to throw off
THE tyranny of dress in the interest
of efficiency" Miss Mich Hawai-,
general secretary of the Japanese
National Y. w. c. A., told the SOUTH
western field headquarters of the Y.
w. c. A. here. W
Reorganization IS making demands
on women in Japan these days and
they must be free to respond said
Miss Hawai- "Thc majority of in
dustrial workers in Japan are now
women-there are $4,000 OF them.
THE result is women can no long
er spend endless hours cleaning and
rcnaking respective wardrobes Of
members Of the family as is nece5-
sary witlsthe present form of dress.
Women of ordinary circum-
stances in Japan have SO or SO
dresses made of linen, cotton, silk or
mixed materials, varying with the
use to be made OF them. In addition
the Japanese women must have at
least two kinds OF coats, one cut with
{, square neck and one with an or
binary kimono neck.
These dresses are made by hand
and must be ripped apart at least
once a year, laundered or cleaned
and put together again. Japanese
women do not take kindly to the
street cars, largely for the reason
that their delicate kimonos are liable
to be soiled.
