In accordance with a policy adopted by the council several days ago, Jesse C. Suter, chairman, will agsign certain bills to each member of the council for investigation. The councll not only will familiar- ize itself with the provisions of all pending bills, but probably will tell the Commissioners which of the bllls it regards as most urgent. It is the hope of Engineer Commis- sloner Bell that the citizens will be able to prepare a small list of the most important bills and ask the Dis- Colored Race Is Moved by Utterances.

By Coneolidated Press. SEATTLE, Wash., October 24.—The Americanized Japanese flapper may eventually solve the much-discussed Japanese problem. Wise ones in a po- sition to know make the prophecy that the innocent lipstick and powder puff, which Seattle Japanese girls have taken up with such eagerness, may in the long run prove more effective than the pen or the sword in smooth- {ing out differences Letween the two nations. They say that when vanity and love of ease are developed the driving | toil and aggressiveness, which make the Japanese such a menacing com- petitor In the industrial and business world, will disappear. The Japanese flapper cannot get her beauty sleep and go out in the fields to work at 4 o'clock in the morning. Nelther can a Japanese young man jazz until day light and then toil for 16 hours. Seattle has many cltizens from Japan and China and within the last year or o the transformation of the Japanese maid into a typlical Ameri- can girl has been most marked. She goes to the best high schools, dressing exactly like her American mate, sometimes becoming a real fiap- per with rolled socks, bobbed hair and | selecting school- | 13 everything, though as a rule she is much more modest and retiring than the American girl. The heavy business in cosmetics 1s done in Seattle drug and department stores with Japanese women s cus- tomers. They buy the more expensive powders, rouges and cold creams, brunette shades of powder.
