The evenings' thus far have taken care of themselves.' % Yesterday was & combinstion of eco- nomics, education and dramatics. The whole schedule did not come off accord- ing to arrangements, because of & tardy start and a congestion on. the social side. But it was a wonderful day nev- ertheless. Every miemb¢r of the party has been anxious to find out something about the employment situation, so as to judge of the economic health of Japan. Accord- ingly we had hoped for much enlight- enment at the central employment of- fice; to which we were driven first after breakfast. But we were somewhat dis- appointed, for the reason that our re- search was obscured by inadequate in- terpretation.

We asked some questions, in the hope of eliciting specific information, and were told—as far as we could understand- that last year there were in Japan some | 750,000 unemployed people, a figure which struck us as relatively very small. In Tokio the job hunters average 60,- 000:a month, and about 25 per cent of 'm get work through the employment | . The jobless are chiefly factory workers and domestic servants.

They had previously | been . istered, and appeared to be | waiting for assi ents to duty.

A house-to-house inspection is conducted annually. If the house passes the inspection, which is thorough and severe, the occupant is given card, which he must fasten to the outer wall of the house, a sort of permit tag. Lacking this occupant may be “raided,” or visited ee the sanitary police and made to scour up his premises. This inspection 1s said to be drastic, extending to every part of the dwelling. It insures at least one thorough housecleaning in a ycar, how- ever dirty the place may become mean- while. New Rockefeller Library.

The luncheon was served in sn im- mense bangueting hall, which was bullt by Baron Mitsui especially for the en- | tertainment of the Prince of Wales on the occasion of his visit to Japan sev- eral years ago. It is a gem of artistry within, though comparatively plain out- side, yet in perfect Japanese style of architecture. Some 50 guests sat around the great table, which still was isolated in the center of the vast apartment like an island in a large sea. After luncheon we went out into the garden. That sounds quite simple and usual, but this was neither a simple nor' & usual garden. It is one of the “sights” of Japan. It is about 10 acres |in extent, & place of indescribable | beauty, especially at this season of the year, with the azaleas in bloom.
