minds are bent on cultural i'm
provement, Japan is rife with
material. Japan satisfies de-
voices of every known branch
of art-from architecture and
painting to sculpture and cary
ing.
Many antique treasures may
be viewed in perfect preserva-
ton at public museums or gal
lerieS, in private collections. or
in religious shrines scattered
about the country. Many OF
these are officially protected as
national treasures. In Kyoto
and Nara, the two ancient capt.
tails, may be found a wealth of
these priceless old objects.
Art-lovers are advised to visit
the Imperial Museums in Tokyo,
and in Nara, the Municipal Mu-
scum in Kyoto, and the Meiji
Shrine Picture Gallery in Tokyo.
Tokyo, by the way, which has
been largely rebuilt since the
disastrous earthquake of 1923,
is a gem of modern beauty in
architecture. 1t ranks third with
the cities of the world, in popu-
lation, and is rapidly forging
ahead towards second place.
Different Tempo
Osaka, industrial metropolis,
is one of the worlds greatest
cotton markets. Kyoto, the for
mer Imperial capital, holds much
of the ancient art and culture,
as we'll as the history Of Japan,
within its walls. Nara is famous
for its antiquity, its deer-park,
and it's colossal bronze Buddha.
Yokohama and Kobe, are, of
course, the two great portals
through which visitors, trade,
and all the busy commerce of
civilization, come and go.
For a real vacation, embody-
ing complete change and men
tai stimulation, a few weeks
spent in Japan would be the
perfect answer.
There, life takes on a differ
ent tempo; ones viewpoint is
refreshed and renovated. and
the mystic and insidious charm
of the Orient fills ones mind
and heart with the lotus-flower
of contentment and calm.

good inns, and reliable guides
and instructors.
In the lower attitudes, from
February, when the country ccle-
brates the poisoning Of the
plum, there is, for the visitor. a
perfect cycle of bloom and floral
enchantment.
In May, the famous cherry
blossoms are followed by burst
of azalea, wistaria, peony, and
countless other flowers. The
pale blue skies, the glory of
blossoms, and the towering,
snoW-capped crest of Mt. Full
ever in the background, consti-
tute a vision of beauty hard to
find anywhere else.
Thirty-nine days from New
York, Japan is quickly and COM
fortably reached by swift steam
ers to Yokohama, from whence
well-planned tours, under the
direction of experienced guides,
take the traveller to all impor-
tant and interesting points in
the shortest possible time.
Varied Climate
The Japanese Government
Railways are modernized and
efficiently operated. with excel
lently equipped dining cars,
English speaking conductors,
and American-type eping
cars. At most of the hotels
throughout Japan, one finds
English spoken, as well as in
the larger shops of the cities.
Stretching for nearly 5000
miles along the east coast of
Asia, Japan runs the climatic
gamut, from Subarctic waters to
tropical seas. The main islands,
or Japan proper, lie within the
temperate zone.
This geographical position
and wealth of mountains, CULTS,
lakes, bays and inlets, give
Japan countless beauty spots,
and health-giving resorts.
There are many spas" where
one may drink ones way back
to health with certain mineral
waters; where there are hot
sulphur baths, and hot springs.
At Beppu, in particular, one may
enjoy bathing in the sea, and in
hot-water baths on the seaShore,
as we'll as in the ordinary hot
water and steam baths.

While a national committee
patronized by Premier Dou-

of well-known French PERSONAL
ties is organizing the official
delegation which will sail on
the "Champlain" for Gaspe on
August 10, Canadians are also
making plans for the adequate
celebration of the fourth cen
tenary of the discovery and ex-
ploration of Canada by jacques
Cartier. One of the leading
French newspapers Of Montreal,
LIE Devoir, is organizing a popu-
lar priced excursion over lines
of the Canadian National Rail
ways.
The special train carrying the
LIE Devoir party, which will in

Cardinal Rodrique Villeneuve,
Archbishop of quebec, will go
directly to Gaspe where the cere-
mony commemorating the dis
covery will take place on August

Simple but impressive, these
ceremonies including q marine
pageant, will have for setting
the historical and picturesque
Bay of GaSpe, from which sailed
the first contingent of Canadian

Such is Japan; land OF flow

Puccini's glorious Madame But

in every stored legend, that
wistful and naive appeal so
characteristic of its people and

Another Notable Fish Story Comes
Across Canadian Border

FRENCH RIVER, Ontario,
Aug. 18.-Here's another re-
markable fish story: Marcel
Sissler, Of New York, fishing in
the main channel of the French
River here the other day, caught
a 30-pound muSkie on a nine
foot four-ounce split bamboo
flyrod!
The muskie. which fought like
a demon, was 81 inches long and
20 inches in girth.
The remarkable feature of
this catch was that the muskie
struck at a small-mouth black
bass which Mr.. SiSsler was play
ing on a small bass hook and
light line.
SiSsler displayed uuncanny
skill, as did his guide, Nick Zen
henko, who handled the canoe
in a mastery fashion each time
the big fresh-water tiger made a
run, so as not to snap the light
tackle.
Even at that, it would have

but for the fortunate appear
ance Of Gen. E. de B. Panel, chief
of the Canadian Pacific Rail
ways department of inveStiga-
ton, who, coming down the
river with his guide, saw the
struggle and passed over his
gaff, which rendered the muskle
hors de combat.

fearing their canoe would cap
size, removed their shoes in case
they had to swim for it. SisSler,
displaying remarkable deXterity,
unlaced his footwear with one
hand and played the vicious
muskie with the other!
Jack Strathdee, manager OF
the French River Bungalow
Camp, in commenting upon this
incident, declared that he now
understood what is meant by a
fishing epic"

About 30 years ago doctors
and scientists determined that
air circulation is one Of the
principal requisites for comfort,
Much has been done along this
line and now most people have
become accustomed to air-con-
ditioning in some form, whether
it be in their home, offices,
theaters or other public places.
Until recently, hot. dirty and
dusty trains had been accepted
as the standard thing in train
transportation. With the ad
vent of airconditioning in
trains, Seaboard Air Line Rail
way, alert to improve the com
fort of its passengers, has
adopted airconditioned equip
ment on q very extensive scale.
Latest Type
Edward Plack, Seaboard's rep
reSentative in Washington, yes
terday told of the advantages
Of summer travel in that Sys-
TENS aforementioned trains.
He explained that only the
latest type of air-conditioning
equipment is used on Seaboard
trains. In addition to this,
chemicals, which necessarily
must be used, are non-toxic,
non poisonous, and non-inflam-
mable.
A paramount fact for pas
sengers in air-conditioned cars
to remember is that they
breathe fresh air for the dura-
ton of their journey. 1t is not
necessary to open windows. In
fact, opening windows has
much the same effect on an
aforementioned car as opening
the door of an ice-box.
The mechanism in Sea-
boards cars draws in air from
outside and passes it through a
filter which washes" it, re-
moving dirt, dust, cinders and
disease-spreading pollen.
Operation
From the filter the air is
sent to the heating or cooling
coil, dependent on outside con-
ditions, and is brought to the
desired temperature. Then it
goes through a humidity-control
which regulates the amount Of
moisture in the air to the most
comfortable bodily reaction.
Ready for circulation a blower
fan forces the air through
ducts, placed at strategic points
so that every corner receives it's
share Of circulating, cool, clean
air. An exhaust fan at the
rear withdraws air from the
car and pipes it back to the
front for recirculation with
fresh incoming air, to again be
filtered, heated or cooled, and
circulated.
AS people vary in their Selec-
ton Of clothes and foods, so
do they vary in their opinions
Of what constitutes a most
comfortable temperature" To
compensate for this, and be-
cause 1t has been found that
the variation Of most comfort
able temperatures" is only two
or three degrees, the temperature
during the day always hovers
within a few degrees of 76. While
sleeping. cooler temperatures
are desired, and the tempera-
ture is kept within a few de-
grees Of II.
Numerous letters from people
in all walks Of life acclaiming
Seaboard'S air-conditioned SER
vice are received daily. Among
these letters are some from
medical doctors praising the
health aspects Of air-condition-
ing.
In another letter a Seaboard
patron tells Of having fallen
