They are calied Eta, lefiled,” and they were the people to whom was left all the debasing jobs of the empire under the old regime. More than 50 years ago, almost coincidental with the freeing of our own negroes, the discriminations against | Btaites were removed and they were given the vote. No matter; the Japanese have continued to look down on these = fellow citizens and refuse all social intercourse with them. Ordinary schoo! children will not associate with Eta schoo! shildren and they make it so hot for the occasional Eta » school teacher who happens into their midst that the said er is compelled to move on. Mar e with Eta people is unthought of. Eta conscripts in the Japanese army are badly treated by their comrades and no Eta man is per- Mited to reach an officer’s grade. It is rare that an 4s able to obtain employment, even in a government office. Just as in the North, an occasional Japan newspaper campaigns in favor of giving the Eta people “social equal- .” but the effort proves vain. There is evidently something in “former condition of Servitude” that runs against the grain of human people who, altho often oppressed themselves in ancestral days, "have never been slaves. If we knew more about the blacks iof Africa and their ways, we probably would find tribes that have never been enslaved looking down on those that have. It seems to be human nature—a quality of our in- heritance more difficult to bend. Not democratic?

Why, in London the individ- ual water allowance is only 40 gallons. London, however, ‘is not compelled to pay tribute to its thirst with water alone. But look at the soft drink situation as it has developed in "a couple of arid years. In the pre-Volstead days, soft ‘drinks were chiefly confined to bottles and their sales ac- mpanied circuses, baseball games, etc. Excited fans, you will recall, needed something not only for their parched throats, but to throw at the umpire as occasion warranted. “Pop” and “pop” bottles met all the requirements, But now Fit is different. While bottled softies still add a bit of » piquancy to tent and stadium shows, they are a very insig- cant portion of the thirst-quenching business. Last year ome 4,000,000,000 bottles of soft drinks were guzzled by uns. Think of it and give it a mental measurement— 000,000,000 bottles of pinks and reds and yellows!

Sleep and Long Life The natural hours for you to sleep are from 9 at night to 5 in the morning, Dr. Sri Ram writes in the Indiana Medical Record. He claims that an hour’s sleep before /) midnight is worth two after. Two hours before and four hours after midnight are the most valuable for sleep, be- cause in these hours physical vigor is at its lowest ebb. The average person needs eight hours’ sleep a night, some require more. | Aged people, asked how they lived so long, usually | give all kinds of queer reasons.

For I am master her. With folded arms he tried to pose like mifthy men of fame; the eyebrow underneath his nose appeared to do the same! A stern Napoleonic glare was on hia youthful map; | murmured watchell him stare, “Aha! ‘Chey've had a scrap!" She tried to (alk, to make him amile—her air a sweet caress. He let her talk, and after while he'd grunt a “no” or “yes.” H wouldn't try to do his part, the way she tried to do; but deep within his secret heart I knew he wanted to! I knew he had to give his pride a periodic fling, and have her Unger by hin aide, and worship him as King. But after while he'll smile again, and quit his foolish game—he's merely one of many men, but heck! They're all the same!

The Mayas lived principally on the Yucatan peninsula, in Mexico, and they ieft several remarkable cities that have been investigated by scientists, They had an advanced civilization, which may have been older than that of Egypt. Their ar- chitecture was highly developed, and in some respects resembled the Egyptian. They left many writings carved on stone, Science has been trying to discover the key to the Mayan language, so that writings could be deciphered. The Mayan calendar has been dect phered, and once the language can be read the story of Dr, William Gates, president of the Maya society, work of learning the ancient tongu Indian descendants of the Mayas are used as subjects in this research work SPORT COAT Ati imported sport coat, made on very loose, easy lines, is of tangerine: colored wool, lined and faced with white, It has a wide shawl collar that may be worn in a number of interesting ways.
