Fundamental japanese Traits

continued, but the great portion Of
those who survive this hard life
are strong muscular people with ex-
traordinary endurance. The family
is still the social unit. with its goal
being sons TO carry on the family
name and traditions. The japanese
nation is regarded as a family. she
stated. and the Emperor is the faith
er OF them all. As obedience to the
father in a family is important, so
loyalty and obedience TO the EN-
peror and the Empire is the only
civic virtue.
Rights OF the individual are not
recognized in Japan, the speaker
stated.
In fact, the speaker continued, in
the educated class people with an
intellectual approach, particularly
professors, have had much trouble
with the police during the past
decades. Many writer's have been
arrested, some killed. and their
textbooks have been either revised
or banned.

she said.
Death, to a japanese, she said, is
nothing to fear, rather a glorious
way Of serving his country. Life
is not OF much value to them, the
speaker pointed out, and there are
many suicides. Soldiers killed IN
battle are enshrined in a soldier'E
memorial, and glorified by their
families, Mrs. Hodgson said.
A point to be remembered by
Americans in dealing with their
enemy, the speaker stated, is that
the Japanese government will draft
men from any part Of the country,
regardless OF their dependents, leay-
ing those at home to solve their
own problems. The japanese aim Is
never to save Japanese lives, she
stated, and the government will
take necessities from civilians II

hours will not bother them either,
she continued, for the people are
accustomed to long, weary hours OF
work. Nor will the possibility OF
an endless war disturb them, for
they will fight until they win or
until they are totally defeated.
The Japanese people are most
secretive and evasive, she stated.
In the country there are zones
where travellers are not allowd to
go, and areas where no cameras
are permitted. The Japanese have

-INS-Dorothy Lamour has been

The Princess is Chinese and the
cruel sabre wounds she bears
through years to come will damn
the sadistic cravings Of the Japa-

a native village inhabited by few
Chinese settlers. The Japs left
the Princess for dead. But natives,
searching through the ruins OF the
palm covered huts, discovered the
Princess and brought her to Father
Gehring.
The kind padre made a special
trip TO Espiritu Santa to escort the
Princess on ner first worldly jour

their collision, had left her.

Princess Patsy refused emergen-

Father Gehring had anticipated her
appetite and nad brought along

The Princess was delighted with
the plane ride and the meal.
Technically. you might say the
Princess is really not a princess at
all. No one will ever know the
names of her slain parents. The
village had been burned after be-
ing ravished by the Japs. II would
not be a good idea on Guadalcanal

SHORTLY AFTER noon the fol-
lowing day Paige stood before q
dressing table mirror in the River
view hotel in Reno, Nevada She
was combing her long straight
black hair with the tiny comb from
her purse, and trying to remember
everything Rusty Carnes had said
TO her while they were on the curb
stone, waiting for the dawn. Not
for the sunrise, for no sunrise could
have stabbed flat cold, tea-kettle
steam.
Eugenia- That had been the
mans subject. He had talked about
her. walled actually, until Paige
hae been embarrassed, also with
out wanting to be, a bit sympa-
thetic, But at the same time she
had begun to feel a strong dislike
for Restwick Carnes Ill For his
incessant chatter and SNUG pre-
sumption.
Nevertheless, there was an oddly
comforting quality about her grad
ual and unreasonable dislike for the
man. Possibly because 1t was some
thing to grasp, something unpleas-
ant to ease something even more
unpleasant. Like biting on a bruised
finger to relieve the pain.

had repeated, frowning as he
looked into Paige's face. II warned
IEugenia. She can't blame anyone
but herself. 1 told her I'd marry the

That Is probably the most anti
quated remark in existence"
"Only when used as threat. Not
when the person actually goes
through with it."
"A spite marriage" persisted
Paige, us one of the most wicked
things imaginable"
That was what she had said to
Rusty Carnes in the cold foggy
dawn. She had been loftily scorn-
full. Then what was she doing In
Reno, waiting for him TO telephone
that he had the license, that they
could be married at once7 Paige
twisted two long strands of silken
hair into large knot at the back
lof her neck, then caught them deft-
lly with four strong combs, then
walked to the window and looked
down at the main street, bright
lin the noon sun, and filled with peo-
Eple. The Truckee river dashed rap
idly on its way, making a noise like
IA loud country brook. Yes, she had
hailed the idea Of a spite mar
lriage.
Restwick Carnes' retort 10 her
tart opinion had been defensive.
This one won't be entirely spite.
Lets call It a merger. The advan-
Itage TO me will be in outraging
Eugenis. I'll teach her a lesson and
make her completely miserable,
which Is what / want 10 do. The

ling her in the early morning clam

The history of her husband S

hopes, she thought.
Meanwhile the new triplets,
