“Your ticket experience would be

Henry I*. Davison was one of these
and his life is an inspiration to hun
ilred*. who have admired his clear
cut character, his financial genius
and'his wisdom in the selection of his
mode of living. He was essentially a
man of activity and yet what he did
was without ostentation and without
any degree of self emulation.
He grew up into me bunking busl
ness and he attained one of the most
hucceaaiul positions that the business
had to ofTer. His was a life of genius
in that he came from the bottom
the top and controlled and dominated
the financial actions of the men. who
possessed more money than any oth
er set of men within a similar organi
zation.
With it all, keeping busy with grave
financial affairs in the latter years of
his liie he turned aside in a moment's
notice and devoted his time and tal
ent to the organization of the Amer
ican Red Cross. It’s war work will
stand us an everlasting monument to
his genius for organization and the
I iirpoaos and principles which he put
into execution. He may have been
one of the world’s greatest bankers
but he was also its great benefactor
in his liberal donations to many chari
ties and his wonderful work for the
Red Cross, which might in part have
contributed to the great sacrifice that
he made by giving up his life in the
zenith of his great financial career.

over to the spell of u most elusive
mul fascinating city.
“Now u ulrlebook is expected to give
some needful facts, and sometimes
does, hut you find this one does more
than that It gives you an atmosphere
—unconsciously. It Is true, but defin
itely, Just the same. Under the head
ing of ‘January’ It informs you seri
ously that ‘people ure now in their
very best humor, going about paying
New Year rails’ and. if you are in
Tokyo in January you find that the
guidebook spoke truly. Gradually you
begin to realize that the tradition, the
precedent, the Immemorial customs ol
the old Japan do project through all
Its modernism, so that It is perfectly
proper to predict what human nature
will be like at any given period.
“You read further between the
lines. You note that the Imperial Pal
ace, that curious ‘half-and-half* archi
tectural creation of Eastern and Wes
tern Ideas, 'is Jealously guarded
against the entrance of ordinary per
sons. And farther on that the ‘Korak-
nen Carden Is perhaps the most cele
brated landscape garden in Tokyo ac
cessible (subject to special permis
sion) to ordinary persona.’ Then one
begins to realize why members of
Japanese commission which visited
Washington some years ago were
frankly impressed most deeply by
our National Capltal’a Rock Creek
Park, a vast play place, unrestricted,
and left as nature made it save for
automobile roads and bridle paths.
Neither in their own country nor In
Europe, they said, had they observed
any park exactly like that.
‘Only the very casual visitor will
tail to sense the paradox of Tokyo.
By ofDclal regulation much of the me
chanics of living is rigid; bnt In many
other respects it may well rank as
one of the most dlrerse cities fn -the
world. Each of Ns amalgamated'vll-
hell, of native restaurants and dis
tinctive dances.
“It almost seems as If only a 'dull
wilted person might write a book
about Tokyo: a more sensitive
server would write many volumes up
on many aspects of a city where even
the ‘viewing of flowers' has been for
malized, where commercial enterprise
overlays the Samurai teachings that
held profit a disgrace, where electric
railways disturb the mystic quiet of
the Shluto Shrine in which the
deals of boiling water and walking on
hot coals still are practiced.
“For the humble traveler by tram
It Is exceedingly difficult to get lost
in Tokyo. Each car bears the number
of its route and inside, at the place
where, in America, one would see
hosiery and washing powder adver
tisements. there is a comprehensive
map of the city criss-crossed and clrc
led by lines of many colors corres
ponding to the numbered routes. A
knowledge of the language is super
fluous. From the guidebook map, or
better from the free map furnished
by the Japan Tourist Buraeu, which
seeks to make Japanese travel d
1‘gbtful, one locates the place ii
seeks and the place where he stand
Then It is a mere matter of matching
numbers and colors to ^et to any
spot within the circular railway
which forms the tire of. the transpor
tation wheel.
This Idea-of placing a map of :he
city in the cars themselves insteed of
cn some sequestered wall around the
station may rob the traveler of the
cultural advantages of tempting pic
tuTes of butter and motor cars, but it
makes it easy to wander from village
to village within the city limits with
the minimum of delay and sign lan
guage.”
