INVENTED JAPANESE TAXI

Thousands of coolies trot between
the shafts Of jinrikishas on the streets
of Japan, China and Singapore to
earn few cents a day. Yet, strange
as it may seem, these wheeled
taxies are the invention of U. $.
Marine.
1t came about in this fashion. Pfi-
vate Jonathan GobIe was member
of the U. s. Marine detachment On
the U. S. S. Susquehanna, one Ct the
ships with Commodore Perry s feet
which visited Japan in 1854. A native
of New York State, Goble had follow
ed the occupation of farmer beforc
he entered the Marine .orps in 1851
at the age of twenty-four, remaining
in the service about TOUR years.
Perhaps Goble conceived his idea
Of the ricksha when he was abroad
with Perry, but it was some years
later, after he had returned to Japan
as missionary, that he suggested to
the Japanese his idea of making these
enlarged go-carts a means of convey
ance.
Goble was deeply religious, and his
return tosNippon was prompted by q
desire to instruct the Japanese in
Christian beliefs. The first rickshs
made its appearance in Japan about
1867, and subsequently its use spread
rapidly to bther Oriental countries.
Inazo Nitobe, Japanese historian
credited the ex-marine with the in
vention Of the ricksha, an opinion
which has been confirmed by othe,
historians. ellis thought" wrote Nit
ODE, "resulted in the so-called man
power carriage"
Regardless Of this odd vehicle :
comparative convenience and conf ;rt
the lot Of a ricksha puller is no5 Z
happy one. Several thousand riclsha
coolies earn a precarious livelihood in
Shanghai alone, their incomes some
times averaging less than $500 8
month, while the death rate among
them is high.

WORKERS WILL DECLINE

The number of workers employed
On PWA ojects in the northwest
will steadily decline after next month,
as projects reach completion, unless
Congress authorizes the. appropriation
of funds for new PWA program, the
regional office reported today.
Approximately AZ percent of all
non-Federal PWA projects in this re.
gion, exclusive of Az highway I'M
plovement projects transferred to the
Bureau of Public Roads, are substan-
TALLY completed, leaving only IA
projects under construction.
The region will reach the half way
point in the number Of projects COM
pleted by the end of July. A large
number of projects now under con-
struction are scheduled to be finished
during July and August.
PWA construction under the 1898
prog am has proceeded so rapidly that
So projects have been substantially
finished, more than year ahead of
the time set by Congress for compile
ton of the program. These include
So projects in Oregon, % in Washing
ton, 10 in Idaho and in Alaska
Meanwhile, acquisitions amounting
to $9,664,O05 have been paid by the
Public Works Administration to pro-
ject owners in this region to help de-
fray the cost of 2S1 projects calling
for total expenditures of $42,137,4 400
the regional office reported.
These payments on PWA allotments
supplemented by funds contributed
by project owners, have been expend-
ed for payiolls on project sites, the
purchase of building materials and
equipment, aud other construction
costs
"The 1898 PWA program has ere
ated jobs for several thousand skill
ed and unskilled workers in the north
est, and has provided stable emplay-
ment conditions in the building adj
es, the regional office stated. III
has generated tremendous volume
of orders for construct materia ais
and equipment, and indirectly crea
ted employment for workers in priv
tate indust les engaged in the produc
) ton aud trans ortation of these mat
crials. Wages earned by workers em
i ployea en- project sites and in private
indust les have Ienefit ed merchants
! grocers, landlords and other business
/ ente prises in the communities where
these wages were spent"
A umma y of benefits lesrltins
from PWA construction during thu
past six years showed that:
PWA has created 1,7S3,700,00t
man-hours of direct employment at
construction sites.
PWA has created nearly 4,500,
100000 man-hours of "behind tn
lines" employment in the p. oduction
fabrication and transportation of sup
plies and materials.
