charities were urged; since the war they
have become prime necessity. Only seven
States have made any proper requirement

the licensing of charitable agencies con-

for initial investigation and continuing su-

The cities also can do much, and such pri-

be copied to advantage, while the agencies
like the Chamber of Commerce, nearly 200
of which now pass on local charities, might
wisely extend these activities If the ways

half-buried beneath undrifted snow.
How such conditions are produced is ex-
planned by an American observer who has
lived in that country. Specifically, he men

of passage from house to house when the
streets are. as is often the case. deep blocked
with winter SHOWS
The excessive snowfall In the region and
on the northwestern spurs OF the main chain
of the Japanese Alps is an interesting phe-
nomenon. The explanation is simple enough.
AS the cold northeasterly wind sweeps over
from Siberia across the Sea of japan It is
there mingled with warmer and moister
air. SO that when IL finally reaches the
western face of the range this moisture is
precipitated in an abundant snowfall on the
west flank and SUBMITS OF the range. Con-
seauently in the winter and the early spring
an extraordinary contrast strikes the trav-
eller
On the west the valleys lie deep In snow
under a sky often hidden in q dark veil OF
clouds. On the east however, for months
together, bright sky smiles on valleys and
plains comparatively uncovered
1t Is to meet the exgencies of this heavy
snowfall that galleries are constructed. The
inhabitants are compelled to live i'm the
upper story and additional light and air are
then admitted through paper window in a
sort Of chimney. SO deeply are whole
villages occasionally buried that the various
houses can be distinguished only by sign
posts stuck in the snow or fixed on the
roofs.

used to point out public buildings:

Curious Customs in Snowbound Lands

interest to note the games which are played

pastimes that put them on an equal foot
