ire Important Things Than Smog In Tokyo, It’s A Good Place To Live

bors. And in the gap between houses an elderly eccen­
tric, who wears .a white Nehru cap, plays the harmo­
nica, and sells unrefrigerated eggs one yen cheaper
with every passing day, lives in a shack. (His eggs,
at least the highest priced ones, must be legitimately
fresh, because I am awakened every morning, even
here in downtown Tokyo, by hoarse roosters.)
Across the lower road there is a Japanese dance
studio where kimono-clad ladies decorously bow and
fan themselves and glide past the windows. Next to
that is a play-ground where children run pell mell with
black hair flying and miraculously do not molest the
roses bordering- the yard. On the other side of the
playground stars a Nichiren temple. From there,
starting at about six in the morning, comes the caden-

sticks knocked against one another in pereusre accompaniment to prayer.
Other establishments line the street. as well:
beauty parlor, a flower-arranging school, a miniature
lumber yard, a “life consultation" office to help any­
one with personal troubles, and general little food
shops so crammed with rows of sundries that hardly
any room is left for proprietor or customer.

Most of the inhabitants have lived here a lifetime,

Japan Doctors Claim Substance From
Urine Helps To Check Cancer
OSAKA. — Animal tests have indicated that a
substance extracted from human urine helps
check the growth of cancer, a Japanese doctor
reported recently.
Dr. Hamao Ijichi, associate professor at Kyoto
Prefectural University of Medicine, reported his
group’s findings to a seminar on cancer in Tokyo
Oct. 8.
The group, according to Dr Ijichi, extracted an
as yet unnamed creamy substance by enriching
the urine taken from about 8,000 healthy persons

and treating it with ethyl acetate. The resultant
fluid was then refined.
The refining process was extremely complex
and only 1 miligram or less of actual substance
was obtained from one liter of urine.

The extracted substance was injected into six
of 12 mice on which cancerous tissues had1 been
transplanted, and all were dissected 14 days later.

The researchers cut out cancerous tumors in
tire mice and weighed each tumor.
Those in the six mice which
had been injected with the sub­

only one third of those in the

THE STL Di OF KANJI by Michael Pye, published by the
Hokuseido Press, Japan 1971, pp. 305, price 1,500 yen.

a good kanji dictionary, (A. N. Nelson’s is the only one I can think

prefer a bilingual edition of Takuboku’s poem’s but this wouldn’t
contain hiragana readings furigana next to the character.
Whichever way one chooses, the sheer effort of it all can be
Highly depressing. It would be much more preferable to have a
book that one could browse through, snatch a glance at, refer to
quickly, a multi-indexed kind of dictionary and self-teaching manual
combined, with graded reading passages a.nd some bilingual texts.
