Japanese Actors Reveal Arts of Own Land Examples of the latest develop ment of the Japanese dramatic and musical art will be presented by Mr. and Mr*. Ongawa, Japanese actors, tomorrow at 4 In the Brandels the ater under the auspices of the Drama league. 'The play, "The Fox Woman," is based on one of the ancient legends <11 Japan and has many of the char acteristics of the old Japanese No or "Ghost plays” which have profound ly affected western theatrical art in 1 scent years. William B. Yeats and many playwrights of the Little the ater mC'vement have been Influenced by the technique of these curious and haunting productions. "The Fox Woman," however, parallels some what more closely the realistic methods of the west. It draws Its litle front a cunning red fox, that has transformed Itself Into a woman, and Is the evil genius of the play, corresponding to the witch in west ern legends. The first half of the program will consist of dances, acrobatics and eongs, accompanied by music on Japanese instruments, the gekkin and the samisen. The first number is Instrumental: "The Feast of Lan terns,” a modern descriptive com position suggesting the sounds and gaiety of one of Japan's great night festival*. Occidental* are only now beginning to discover the music lore of Japan and China, which has until recently been confined to the homes of the oriental aristocrats. This "overture" will he followed by a sword dance, "Kojlma Takanori," Il lustrating an exploit of one of* the heroes of Japanese history. The dance will be accompanied on the sanisen. Next will come “upside downs” or acrobatics; an ancient love song, "Moonlight and , Waves,” another song, "Lady Picking Mulberries,” and three folk dances. This part of the program will be brought to a close with a "fashion revue" of Japanese costumes. Grant Corps Presents Flag.

Jolley, formerly professor in Journalism at Omaha University, re turned last week from New York City where she addresagd 1,000 cleaners and dyers in National convention. She spoke to them on a woman’s point of view In advertising. "If ybur clients axa women, adver tise with a woman’s appeal,” she ad vised. "Always remember your custo mer.” Mrs. Jolley suggested that educa tional matter be used instead of draw ings of equipment which mean noth ing to the average woman reader. "Kducate instead of tooting your own horn,” she said In part. "Women should be taught that clean clothes will last longer. A no tion that has been handed down is that anyone can clean clothes. The dry cleaning process should be ex plained to women, also the dangers of gasoline vapors,” according to Mrs. Jolley. Mrs. Jolley went directly from New York to Grand Island to speak to the state convention in session there last week. For more than a year she has been national advertising representa tive for cleaners and dyers and has had phenomenal #nccess in her field.

Woman’s Club Will Nominate; Hears Hitchcock Nominees for new officers ot the Omaha Woman’s elnb will be decided upon at a meeting of the nominating committee this morning at Burgesa Nash store. It was announced at the open meeting yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Philip Potter, president of the club. /Election will lake place two weeks from yesterday. The nominat ing committee this year, as in previ ous years, shall consist of the chair men of departments and the heads of standing Committee.'’, It was voted by the club. Mrs. John W. Gill was appointed delegate ot the club to the biennial national convention In May. replacing Mrs. Philip Potter, who has an nouncld that she cannot go. Ejt-Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock, speaker of the day, remained afar off from political questions, but gave an account of how business Is carried on In the houso and senate. en livened with anecdote's from his own congressional experiences. Differ ences between the house where im portant measures are rushed through in short order with the. assistance of powerful committees, ironclad cloture, and general majority rule: and the more leisurely senate with its all but unlimited argument, and the opportunities It offers for ag gressiva individuals and determined minorities, were clearly brought out by Mr. Hitchcock. A general laugh followed the ex senator’s ironic tribute to qne of his former foes, when, in describing the filibuster of March 1 to 4, 1917, he said with emphasis. "Now Senator l^a Follette can organize a filibuster hct-( ter than any man in the senate." Mr. Hitchcock gave a lively account of this historic incident, in which the senate remained In continuous s<;s sion for four nights and three days, trying to wear out the minority and get through the hill for arming the merchant marine, before the new ad ministration cany; Into power. Two hours before closing time, I .a Fol lette, who had held his thunders In reserve, still had not spoken. Hitch cock. seeing that the filibuster was about to succeed, took a hand in It himself, although the measure was his own, and so cut the victorious senator from Minnesota out of the last word. "I don't know whether ifbople out here realize the enormous Increase in the power of the executive,” pursued the former senator. "Most bills now taken up are introduced after con sultation with the president and his cabinet or else suggested by the ex ecutlve. This custom was started by Roosevelt and received an enormous Impetus when Wilson started the cus tom of delivering his messages to congress In person. It was not pro vided for by the constitution and makes our form of government more like the British cabinet rule." Mrs. F. A. Long, Madison, endow ment secetary of the State Federa tion of Woman’s clubs, was present and complimented the Omaha Wom en's club on paying Its quota to the endowment fund on time nnd in full, although its energies are occupied in raising money for a club house.

With no further words, my brother in-law aided the boy on his lap to change his position, and as I *w him arrange the child's posture so that ills eyes commanded the rear window of the car, I found my answer to the question which I mentally had asked concerning the whispered colloquy o£ the boy and the man It had been rehearsed—tliat ques tion and answer which had Just been exchanged concerning a possible wish of the lad to change his position. Upon Harriet's objection to Mary's further watching of the road, her hus band unostentatiously had provided a substitute for the little girl. Then he must fed that we were not yet fig uratively out of the woods, even as literally our Journey now wound be tween rows of stately forest trees. Tile knowledge of his uneasiness gave an added twinge to my own fears, but as the miles roiled off. and the light of no following car appeared, my spirits began to rise. I was letting my lmagi lnation get the better of my common sense. I told myself, after we emerged from the winding bay road to one of the outlying streets of Southajtipton. It was but a short distance to tbs big highway which under several names traverses Ixmg Island from Montauk I*4int to New York, and we were just turning into It when Bob In bis uncle's arms spoke softly: “There's a car behind us. Uncle Edwin.” , The Car Tliat Walled. My nervousness made me antici pate my brother-in law's answer. "That doesn't mean anything now. There are always cars along here. We'll have a number of cars behind us and ahead of us until we turn off on the road to Riverhead.” Edwin made no comment what ever, and I wondered if he were of fended at my interruption. I heard him whispering again to the boy, and from the child's tense attitude, guessed that he had charged him to keep an eye on the oar behind us. This roused my fears again, but I resolved to keep them to myself, and I found an outlet in my tense nerves in the opportunity for faster driving which the broad highway presented. Wo were well Into the Shlnnecock Hills when Edwin spoke in a low tone: "I think you ought to know, Madge, tlyit this car behind us was in all probability waiting at the end of that bay road. Of course. I may be mistaken, but Just as we came out there. I caught a glimpse of a car without lights standing at one side of the road, and I am aure 1 caught the noise of a starting englno Just after we had passed. I>o you want to alow up and let them pass you so as to make sure?” I thought swiftly and a ruse came to me which would not only enable me to elude pursuit If such were be hind me, but would determine for me the question as to the knowledge or ignorance of my errand among the occupants of the car behind me. Suggesting a Kuse. "Canoe Place Inn is not very far ahead," I said to Edwin, "and there is a broad roadway sweeping up to its door. 1 can turn in there with out slackening speed very much, and the inn is open all the year round, so a car turning there will occasion neither comment nor inquiry* If car following goes on about its busi ness. and does not turn around, wo shall have one question answered. "At least ive shall be able to Kf,t a good Took at it,'' Edwin commented quietly, "unless the fog prevents." Startled, I took my eyes from the road dlrfcctly In front of me and let them rest for a moment on the sky and sea which a few seconds ago had heen visible, though mistily, through the rain. Now they were blotted out by the thick white fog. which comes up so suddenly out on the east end of the Island, and which Is the particular ban* of all motor ists. Absorbed In my fears, and me chanically watching only the road In front of me, 1 had not noticed it. , and my heart gave a llttlo clutch of fear as l thought of the dangerous | read In front of me, and the miles yet to he traversed before we could reach shelter. "I'll drive as fast as I can for os long aa I can,” l told myself grimly, with a little throb of thankfulness that 1 was on the la'nd side of the road, one of the most beautiful in the world in sunlight or moonlight, with its curves skirting precipitous descents to a bay as blue and spark ling, travelers say, as that of Naples. Many* times have 1 stopped to ad mire Its loveliness, but now I wished that It could be transformed Into an unlovely but level stretch of solid earth, for I knew only too well what danger Its fog hung windings held for me.
