TO Be ~ FEET WIDE
Last Minute Agreement With
Property Owner Gets Right
of Way Through Clarendon.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP.
stan Correspondent of The Star.

ARLINGTON, Va, September A.
Through a last minute agreement with
r. L. scheele, owner Of property, south
of Wilson boulevard in Clarendon.
Arlington County will provide 44-foot
roadway through the business center
of Clarendon. The agreement was
made by Supervisor B. M. Hedrick TINS
morning.
It had been planned to carry the a.
foot road only to the eastern END OF
the Rucker Building. Now 1t VIII ex-
tend to Wheeler avenue, almost twice
the distance. From this point on the
highway will be 20 feet in width, con-
sisting Of 6-foot shoulders and amacite
center.
Boulevard Opened.
The underground work having been
completed to RoSslyn, Wilson Boulevard
from that point to Oak street, In Clar-
endon. was yesterday reopened to traftc
by the removal of the large barricades
that have closed it for the past TWO
weeks.
The closing of the road was due to
the excavating necessary by the county
and public utility concerns before the
actual widening of the highway is
started by John H. Olcott, to whom the
contract has been awarded.
While this section is now opened to
traffic, it was explained by county engi-
neers, sections of the highway will be
closed from time to time until the
widening and reconstruction of the road
is completed. Even now motorists must
proceed with extreme care, since the
work already done has left the road in a
rather dangerous state.
The contractor has about completed
the pouring of concrete on Pickett's
Hill, that section which has just been
acquired for the purpose of straighten-
ing the now existing curves at the Ross
lyn end of the highway.

BIT OF BROADWAY FOR JAPAN
NibboueSe Chorus Girl to Entertain Homeland
BY HORTENSE SAUNDERS
Sernire IErifer

NEW YORK. May 13.-This
IN year. Ruth Sato is a dam
Ger, but next year she will be
producer-f her plans materialize
not on Broadway, but in the land
Of the cherry blossoms.
She is the only Japanese chorus
girl on Broadway, but in spite of
her. slant eyes, her slight, narrow
body, her kimonos and her obvi-
GUS oriental lineage, she is Aneri-
can in spirit. Nimble as her feet
are, her mind is even more so. She
plans to carry the American mu-
steal comedy to Japan.
Now, under the popular Ameri-
can conception of what the Orient
considers good moral entertain
ment, it is difficult to imagine a,
Broadway musical show full of
oare-legged cuties gyrating to Tin
Pan Alley tunes and shoWering
fast American wise-cracks on an
audience Of Unconditional Japa-
neSe.
But our idea of Nippon is all
wrong. Why, in the last few
years, jazz music has become very
popular in Japan" Miss Sato de-
clared. My friends there say they
think the Charleston is a most
fascinating dance. There are big
cabarets and night clubs in the
Orient, and when we can't find
enough musicians in Japan, we get
them from the English settle
ments in China.
Il know my people will like mu-
steal comedy The costumes are
very decorative and I'll see that
the girls are fairly well covered.
Nudity would shock a Japanese
audience-not morally, mind you,
but they. would consider it in
appropriate and in very bad taste.
Japan fast is getting around to
the occidental viewpoint, but it is
not yet ready for the F'ollieS Ber-
gere type of entertainment"
