After this the boys are called boy- sons and the girls Joe-sons. The baby of the family is carried on the mother's back most of the day while she is shopping and washing clothes. "The children play games somewhat like you Americans do," said Robert. "They use a stick for a knife and guns and have a game of war. The small girls do not play much because they are kept mostly in the house with their mothers.

"After the are called boy-sons and Joe-sons they start to school. All have the same clothing while in school, a black pair of long pants and a black coat with round stiff collar. Their shoes are wood and they look like a long thin board nailed onto a small block of wood, shaped like a sock only with a place for the big toe. This is the way they keep their shoes on. "All the Japanese are very polite and bow real low when greeting some one on the street.

When they have colds they wear a white mask over their nose and mouth so they won't spread the germ.

Americans think steak is the best meat and Japanese think that squid is the best. They eat it after cooking it in water and sauce.

They have 'no-sea' which looks like noodles, which is made from pressed sea weed and cut into long thin strips. It's quite good if you put a lot of sugar on it. I have eaten things over here that I'd never dream of eating in the States. Such as squid, seaweed, lemon leaves, shark and The U.S. Government says it wont hurt Custer Newsbriefs Mr.

DeMilleWins Show 'Oscar' By JAMES BACON HOLLYWOOD happy Hollywood rejoiced Friday in honoring one of its founding B. De Mille whose "Greatest Show on Earth" became his first Oscar winner in 40 years of epic making.

It was one of the few times Hollywood has honored one of its greats while he was still around to enjoy it. The movie pioneer, now 72, was the big star of the silver jubilee Academy Awards last night. A film colony audience cheered wildly in the RKO Pantages Theater as millions more for the first time the ceremony via television. De Mille's win for "Greatest Show" as the best picture of 1952 was the night's only surprise. Favorites Shirley Booth and Gary Cooper came through as predicted to take the best actress and best actor awards.

De Mille, whose 70 pictures previously had won him only millions at the boxoffice, admitted he most surprised. "I thought 'The Quiet Man' or 'High Noon' would get it," the proud showman told reporters. He also took home the Irving Thai- berg special Oscar for distinguished production.
