Before me lies the radio page of
the Japan Advertiser, an American
owned and American edited daily
newspaper published in Toxic. 1t
seems that listeners-in have to pay for
entertainment in Nippon, the present
rate being one yen go cents) month.
which is collected as license fee.
Of1cials at the Toxic "broadcasting
bureau reported that up to March
19 about 4,200 fans had taken out
listening licenses. The campaign to
popularize radio is being continued,
and 1t is expected there will be about
10 900 subscribers by June l. The
bureau people say they won't have
"a paying enterprise" till they've con-
tracted with 10000 listeners. Think
of those figures compared to the MIL
lions who are on the air nightly In
our big country, Military bands. glee
and mandolin clubs, speakers and
singers, as with us, furnish the pro-
grams in the land Of cherry blossoms.

Arrives an unusual and a pleasing
letter from the Board of Education at
Trenton, N. j., reading as follows:
The 500 and more young men
and young women training Tor
business in the local Senior High
School are divided into little groups
of eight each. Owing to gradua-
ton. the personnel of these
"eights' changes from year to
year.
For the past three years these
groups of students have each been
selecting one well known man or
woman whose life has made an es-
pecial appeal to them as sort OF
"guardian," believing that a little
letter of kindly interest from such
a one would help them to do better
work in school and aid them In
being better citizens in the busi-
ness world for which they are fit
ting themselves.
One of these groups has taken
the liberty of so choosing you. /
sincerely trust the time will pre-
sent itself, and the inclination
prompt you, to send these friends
of yours a few words of greeting.
Very truly yours,
S. d. GREEN.

Vincent J. Zinsitz, giving no ad-
dress but Washington, d. c., wants
me to tell him who named the present
State of Oregon, when 1t was named
and why it was thus named. Can
anybody help me to enlighten him?
A correspondent, whose name
think I would better suppress. holds
some views on certain congressional
celebrities:
In the course of your talks you
have occasionally mentioned one
pest in Congress-Mr. Blanton of
Texas. But you have failed to
mention the other one-Senator
Reed Smoot of Utah. The former
probably never had any useful
ness, and the latter has apparent
ly outlived the usefulness he origi-
nally possessed.

O street, let's in a new light on the sub
ject of dogwood and of flowers gen.
orally. Writing about my recent ap-
peal to spare the dogwood, Mrs.
Loughborough declares that 1t is al
most exclusively 1.-The white people in
this region who despoil the country
side of its natural loveliness THE
negroes she says, .1ove flowers and
do not commit such crimes. Since I
came from Richmond with my hus-
band in 1868, and until last year, we
waged a perpetual fight to save the
kdosMopd and arbqtus, as well as other
