Jujitsuing Rail-man

Often and ably does Japanese Minister of Railways Shinya Uchida cudgel the brains in his bald head for a new publicity dodge to draw the attention of tourists to Japan. Last week foreign editors were printing new pictures of the Japanese Minister of Railways. Reason: Mr. Uchida had had himself snapped putting a jujitsu headlock on blonde Mrs. Sarah Mayer, wife of a British Army officer in Japan (see cut).

According to the Japanese Government Railways, the jujitsu match was for the best two falls out of three. First, Minister Uchida threw Mrs. Mayer, then she threw him. After that "they feinted and tossed and writhed and grunted for a full half hour" on the matting until Minister Uchida thoroughly subdued Mrs. Mayer and won the match. Said he gallantly: "She is the most adept Englishwoman at jujitsu I have ever met."
