materials, seemingly without beginning
or end.
The prideful manager will tell you,
however, il you can catch his eve as he
hurries along with blueprints. that every
piece is named and numbered, and every
man knows what comes next.
This is proved by results.
what always strikes the amateur
watcher is the apparent roughness Of the
men, and the really delicate finish they
get on everything before they are
through with the job.
There goes up the wallpaper, amid
plaster dust and just plain dirt, but it is
exceptional If any of either gets on it.
There are shavings in the staircase, q
mass of debris behind the door.
When the thick red paper is put down
at last. all the dust and dirt will have
vanished. The owner can move in to-
morrow, II he wants to- he NAV find
some things he does not like, but not
many, In comparison with the work done
the number OF movements to do it, and
the amount Of materials used.
One interesting feature of recent home
building in and around Washington is
the adaptation of the building to the site.
Not only has this resulted in the saw
ing OF thousands Of trees, which in the
old days would have been consigned to
destruction, but it has given the city
many interesting small buildings.
Perhaps neither builders nor owners
get quite the kick out of this as do the
members Of the Association of Unofficial
Building Inspectors.
Theirs is keen appreciation, not only
OF new gadgets, but particularly of utili-
zation of site.
Here is group of homes in the deem
city. The builder was confronted with
the problem of what to do with a TRAN
guar piece OF ground just large enough
for row of houses opening on two
streets at different levels.
\ X X
He made them three-storv. on one
side, and two-story on the other.
1t was neat handling of a difficult
problem. The resulting houses are diff
ferent; they have about them the air of
something out of the ordinary combined
with essential rightness 1t might not
be just what an observer would want
out ne may feel sure that, in city of so
many persons, there will be more than
one who will find it just to his taste.
And those wide, cat-size Windowsills!
Why do not more builders take Tom
and Tabby into consideration?
just as riding in the family car is one
OF the, greatest pleasures in life to Fido
SO sitting in the living room windows is
favorite sport of house cats.
Too many sills, in a mistaken idea of
economy, are too narrow for puss. or
force her to hang onto an uncomfortable
ledge.
Let builders consider her, and plan
wider Wndowsills from now on, in all
houses intended for humans and their
friends. 1t would meet the better stand
ards OF the Association of Unoficial
Building Inspectors.

Has Japan Had Enough?

Tell-tale reports which have Just OBJ
talned circumstantial currency in Toxic
strongly suggest that Japan in all but
actuahty has thrown up the sponge. The
imperial cabinet in the middle of August
is reported to have decided to call it a
day IN China as soon as Hankow is cap
tured. Thenceforward the army will
consolidate its gains in the conquered
territory maintain purely occupa-
tional role and reinforce Japans position
along the Manchukuo border, ito meet
any further threat from Russia
1t has been said that it takes two to
make quarrel. 1t also takes two to end
a quarrel. Prince Konoyes government
may fancy that decision not to venture
farther into the interior than Hankow
will delude the hardpressed japanese
people into thinking that the war is over
and won, but the device will not deceive
any one else, least of all the Chinese.
They for some time to come, by all
present Indications will have good deal
to say as to whether and when the cease
FIRE can be sounded.
Far from believing that the hour is at
hand when she can discontinue hostii-
ties, the strong probability is that Japan,
by darkly limiting that she will now con-
centrate on preparing for war with the
Soviet. hopes by such ruse to secure aid
from Germany which has hitherto been
denied her. Tokio's notion would be
that diversion" in Siberia might dis
tract Moscow's attention sufficiently to
diminish Hitler's current anxiety over
Russian support of Czechoslovakia. The
notorious fact is that fourteen months
of undeclared war find Japan more
hopelessly entangled than ever in the
morass called China. She sinks more
deeply in it economically at home and
miitarily in the field, with every mile
of advance toward Hankow. Her talk of
standing at ease after that city's fall is
as premature as Tokio's reputed plan
thereupon to embark upon a systematic
program of conciliating the foreign
powers which the army's ruthless tactics
have progressively outraged and alien
ated.
Most preposterous of all is Tokio's
theory that the conquest is now so COM
plete that Japan can gradually reduce
her armed force in China and rely upon
air power to sustain her domination of
the country. 1t is admitted in the same
breath that troops will have to be main
tanned there "for long period" In that
confession the milk in the coconut is to
be found. All reports agree that ia
pans victorious legions have left be-
hind them everywhere in China a trail
OF oppression and mercilessness for
which events at Nanking seem to have
been the model To speak of placating
a militant nation scared with such
scars, so soon after their inf1iction to
the extent Of permitting any important
withdrawal of military force, is to be-
lie all the dictates of human nature and
the lessons of history
There have been periodical predic-
tions since Japan launched the North
China incident at Marco Polo Bridge
In July, 1887, that she was counting the
fate which overlook Napoleon in Russia.
Is Toxic already signaling that Hankow
Is to be Nippon's Moscow?

SURVEY OF FINANCIAL
RESPONSIBILITY STARTED

A preliminary survey of the finan-
cial responsibility divisions $3.50 con-
victiOns, with ages running from 1S to
60, recorded since October IL, 1888,
reveals that 81 years is the average
age for persons convicted of driving
while under the influence of intOxicat-
ing liquor. The survey further substan-
tiates the belief that the majority of
financial responsibility cases are con-
victed of intOxicatiOn. Since 1893 when
Michigan's motor vehicle financial re-
spOnsibility law took effect, 81 per cent.
of the drivers taken from Michigan
highways have been convicted of this
of ense.
Another interesting feature Of this
survey reveals that of the total number
of convictions, only q per cent involve
those under 30 years of age.
The results of this preliminary sur
vey have been so satisfactory that it
has been decided by Leon ID. Case. sec
rotary of state. to continue the study
until completed.
