Mary Jane Irving, an American sister in art, was on deck with the same message, which appealed mightily to the folks on the ground. Hayakawa made a stirring appeal for the sale of bonds. He said that although his color is different, and his features not the same as ours, he was 100 per cent American and then to prove it he bought $10,000 worth of bonds.")
