japanese Honesty Impresses
District Teachers on Tour
Mrs. HO,ue and Miss Knee of Eastern
High Also Find Gracious Welcome,
Modern Schools, Terrific MOsquitOs.

The principal impressions of a
Washington school teacher after six
week tour of Japan include the hon.
esty, hospitality and cleanliness of the
people, the up-to-dste Japanese schools
and the wallop of japanese mosquitoes.
These, at any rate, were the features
which struck Mrs. Lenore Howe and
Miss Pauline Knee. teachers at East
ern High School, as they told today Of
their experiences as guests of the ia
panese government last summer with
q other teachers from the eastern
section Of America.
OF Japanese honesty both declared
1--WE just couldn't lose thing" Mrs.
Howe told of one member of the party
who had to throw away an old pocket
book three times before she could con-
vince the maid she did not want it.
"On one occasion l threw away an
old hairnet," Mrs. Howe continued.
"and it turned up at our next stop
neatly wrapped in a package"
500 Worth of Honesty.
I'm Yokahama," Miss Knee said.
"one OF our party left $70O under her
pillow and couldn't remember where
she had left it. Exhaustive search by
japanese and American agencies failed
to locate the money until the teacher
went to bed the next night. The maid
had made up the bed and left the
money right where it was"
The Japanese schools, the two
agreed, were on very high level in
both subject matter and equipment.
English was taught in all the schools
and children in elementary grades
were learning cooking
Boys and girls studied separately,
either in separate classrooms or in diff
ferent buildings, they said. Pupils in
the higher grades only get one month
of vacation but in the lower ones they
get two.
My! How those mosquitoes could
bite" they declared, although we were
provided with mosquito nets at the
places we stopped for the night"
Food Not to Liking.
The two teachers said they did not
care for japanese food, although it
was prepared in pretty dishes. They
also were served a good deal of beer
probably in the belief that they would
prefer it to the drinking water of the
various places through which they
travelled, they said.
The japanese are getting to like
beer and have a fine brewery which
they showed U.S." the two declared.
Although they saw few soldiers

on the march at early morning pa
rades. the two teachers said they saw
no particular evidences of privations
due to the war in China.
There were directions in the news
papers while we were there restricting
the use Of signs to conserve electricity,
however" Miss Knee commented.
The teachers were guests of the
Tourist Bureau of the Japanese Rail-
ways-a government agency.

Was Simmons the only problem
Of the Senators?
No, I think I can say without
fear of contradiction that there
are a few wrinkles to be ironed
out in the pitching staff and first
base. Our two kid eft-handers have
got to come through if we are
to go anywhere. Chase and Kra-
kauskas.
"Krakausas won five and lost one
for US in the last month last year.
And ne looks swell right now. And
as for Chase, he came up late, too,
but not too late to twice lick the
Yanks. And guys who can lick
the Yanks are handy to have
around"
At first base the Senators will
employ Joe Kuhel or Jimmy Was

piece of baseball goods peddled to
Washington by the Cleveland In
dians last year.
Buddy Meyer will be at second,
and after two years of sickness

that saw him lead the league in
hitting in 1885. Shortstop is no
worry. either, what with Cecil Ira
Wis on hand. The best hitter on the
club last year. he was fourth in
the league with the stick.
Third base will be in charge
of Buddy Lewis, who holds the dis
tinction of having been chased off
the New York Giants bench by
william Lord Chesterfield) Terry
That was in 1893 when Lewis, for
being the best of the American
Legion junior players, was re-
warded with a trip with the Giants
Buddy got in the way or some
thing during practice and Terry
with his own brand of southern
graciouSness, chased the kid to the
dressing room Since coming tc
the majors, Lewis hasn't failed tc
hit better than 300, and Terry
could use him quite well.

Farr last spring with a unanimous
l5-round decision over the Welsh
man, who holds the British Empire
title, before more than 10000 spec
tators in Madison Square Garden
last night.
Make knocked Tommy down
three times-in the second, third
and 14th rounds-and won 13
rounds on Referee Artie Donovan's
Score card. One of the judges, Bill
Healey, gave Baer II, Farr 3, and
called one even. while the other
Judge. George Lecron named Max
winner of nine.
1t was a savage fight from be-
ginning to end From the fifth
