Uncle Rays
Corner
BY Romon Coffmon

On a few of the islands of North
ern Japan live people called Amos,
pronounced "eye-nose," perhaps il
memory of an ancient chief who il
supposed to have been named al
nona."
! Like the japanese, the Amos ar,
short, but they have light brownisf
skins, and the men are gifted with
long, bushy boards and flowing hair
Japanese have yellowish skins, ant
do not grow heavy boards.
The bodies of Amos are NOR.
hairy than those of people else.
where. Their noses and eyes seen
more like those of the white race
than of the yellow race.
Have Strange Clothing.
Amos have been called good
natured and honest, but lazy and
dirty" They wear fur clothing in
winter and home-woven cloth in
summer. Some wear shoes or SAN
dals of salmon skin, but the foot
wear of others is made of animal
hide. The men have a custom of
wearing strips of skin over their
clothing, to hold !daggers or swords.
Iron is used for making some of the
swords, but wooden swords are COM
mon.
Tattooing is a widespread custom.
Aino women allow tattoo marks to
be made across their noses, joining
the eyebrows. Young girls have their
arms tattooed, new marks being
added each year until the time of
marriage. Tin earrings of large size
adorn some of the women, but the
richer ones wear silver earrings.
Armlets of brass are common.
Amos make their living chiefly by
hunting and fishing. The women
till the soil to a slight extent and
raise small crops, but on the whole
these people are far behind the
times, and there is little hope that
they will ever catch up. They are
only a step above the Stone Age.
Rear Bear Cubs.
In the practice of their religion,
the Amos have a custom of catching
young cub bears and rearing them
for sacrifice. The cubs are placed
in wooden cages, and are attended
with great care by women. When a
cub reaches the age of 3, it is killed
as an offering.
1t appears that the Amos were
either the first, or among the first,
human beings to reach the islands
of Japan, and that they came far
ahead of the Japanese. While the
japanese have taken on ways OF the
western world, the Amos have
chung to their old customs.
Estimates place the number OF
Amos living today at about $4,000.
1t is supposed that they are an off,
shoot of the white race, but that
they have mixed to some extent
with MongolS.

By the A!soe;ot.d Press


INDIANAPOLIS, July 3l.-An as
sociate OF Daniel j. Tobin, presi-

hood OF Transfers, AFL, said today
Mr.. Tobin had rejected appoint
ment by President Truman as Sec

] Thomas E. Flynn, Mr.. Tobin's
executive assistant, said the team
sters' chief also had declined the
appointment from President Roose-

Never before has publicity been
given to Mr. Tobin's refusal to -

but twice." MIR. Flynn wrote in the
August issue of THE international

pose, and they knew nothing Of

Mr.. Flynn added that Mr.. Tobin
also declined to recommend anyone
to the President for the vacancy.
"Mr. Tobin's rejection of the offer
by President Truman does not in
dictate lack Of appreciation of
the confidence of the President"
the article went on. Nor can it be
construed as opposition to President
Truman or the Democratic Party.
Instead it was in. conformity with
Mr.. Tobin's determination to remain
strictly neutral until the campaign
gets under way and the position of
both parties and their candidates
has become clear E.

Tobin urged Mr.. Roosevelt to reject

Last year the District COL

Collector Guy w. Pearson says

Elaborating. he points out
that the meters cost about

stalled, and six collection
clerks, called bailins, are paid
a starting wage of 81 800 each.
Mr.. Pearson says that the
parking meter system in
Washington is unique, be-
cause it brings in 50 much
revenue. In most cities, he
says, the revenue is inconse-
quential, the meters being In
tended merely to turn over
parking.
In most cities policemen do
the collecting. Mr.. Pearson
says the District finds it more
economical to employ regular

These collectors work in

Each meter contains q

the coins put through a sort

means that the collectors
don't have to get around to
most Of the hour meters more
than once q week. However,
the 20-minute meters and a
certain few of the hour me-
tiers with smaller coin con-
tainers have to be emptied
twice a week.
One advantage of emptying
a meter often, according to
Mr.. Pearson, Is that it dis
courages looting. A few years
ago there was a wave of
smashing and robbing park
ing meters. In one night 60
were broken into. However,
since a regular system Of col
lecting was set up, looters
have found that it doesn't
really pay to pry open the
machines. Still the baili1s
find two or three q week
which thieves have tried to
rife. Therefore, a mainte-
nance man from the Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic
frequently accompanies the
collectors to repair any nom
functioning meters.
Mr.. Pearson says a move Is
afoot to install about 1900
more meters on Wisconsin
avenue in Georgetown, on H
street Me-, on Nichols avenue
Sc. and on upper Fourteenth
street, in the Mount Pleasant
area.
They have been requested
by businessmen who feel that
a turnover in parking Is q
decided advantage for busi-
ness.
In most of those areas"
says Mr.. Pearson, there is
already a one-hour parking
restriction, but human nature
Is funny-people don't seem
to pay much attention to the
parking signs, but they do to
the red nag on q parking me-
ter. They'll move out when

Mrs India Edwards, director of the
women's division of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, has demonstrated that
there is more than one way of injecting
smear into a political campaign.
A reporter at press conference asked
Mrs. Edwards whether there was any
chance that Governor Dewey's lack of
military service might become campaign
to comment. Instead she said that, having
lost her own son in the war, she would like
nothing better than to speak of Governor
Deweys deferment, but that President
Truman had asked at the outset of the
