JAPAN UNABLE TO MEET FARM LABOR DEMAND Korean and Chinese Field Workers May Be Imported

Tokyo, July 7.—Japan, where rice is the staff of life, finds its fields stripped of labor by demands of the China war. The ministry of agriculture and forestry, after combing through suggestions offered by the nation’s foremost experts, has announced that it is seriously considering the importation of thousands of Koreans and Chinese farmers to meet the incoming crisis. That move would be unprecedented in the history of Japanese agriculture. The exodus from the farms has been caused not only by the call for men to fight in China but also by the fact that booming munitions industries in the cities have been offering extremely high wages to offset their own labor shortage. Meanwhile, competition ' for labor in rural districts has resulted in raising the farmer’s wage level to heights unreached in the last 50 years. Sons Formerly Left Farms. The new situation marks a revolution in Japan’s internal economy. Previously an excess of labor in rural districts, with resulting starvation or near starvation conditions, made it easy for manufacturers to command a wide labor market willing to work for subsistence wages. Any son not needed at home was sent to the city to work for keep and a few yen spending money. Herein lies the partial answer for Japan’s low wage scale which make for Japan’s low production costs which, in turh, enables Japan to invade world markets. Speculators eager to make a killing over the coming crisis have been put under government control. The rice exchange is Osaka, largest in the world, is so completely under government supervision now that speculation has all but died. Japan has to import about 12^ per cent of its food supply. It has been the boast of many in this country that if war came Japan could go back to the days before Perry’s visit, when it was self-suf-ficient, and grow enough on Japanese soil to feed the entire population. More Food to be Imported. But the impending rice shortage will force Japan to increase the importation of food from colonies, in the event that the ministry ot agriculture and forestry’s scheme of importing thousands of alien laborers falls through. And observers believe that once Japan begins to import labor or a large proportion of the food supply, it will be embarking on a new phase of economy which will effect not only the farmers but also the industrialists and traders. They base this belief on the close connection between farm conditions and industrial wages that has existed in the past. Labor shortages exist today in virtually all industries in Japan. Staple fiber industries are 30 per cent understaffed while cotton spinning industries are short, in some cases, of 50 per cent of their required labor.. County Hopes Oil Will Ease Welfare Load Angelica, N. Y.—Natural gas and oil from 259 acres of Allegheny county-owned property may some day provide food for welfare families and funds to ease the load on taxpayers for regular county operations. According to the terms of a lease signed with a Bradford, Pa., oil and gas operator who has been granted mineral rights on the tract, the county will retain a royalty interest in the property which will allow it to participate in whatever income’ may be derived from the now unproductive land. George Kinney, to whom the land was leased, is the owner of adjacent holdings. His present plans call for the drilling of test wells this summer, although borings on the property to the north and east in the past failed to reveal a trace of gas. The property was acquired b> the county in a tax-sale. It was retained because of its proximity to the grounds of the Allegheny county home and infirmary. Originally the county had intended to turn the plot into a farm. — o———%JACKRABBITS ARE NUISANCE

Caldwell, Ida—Jackrabbits are moving in on the farmers who till the soil bordering sagebrush land in the lower Boise valley. Dryness has caused the rabbits to invade the grain and hay crpps. Defensive measures are being taken. — o — VOYAGER QIUITS BAND.

Gibraltar — Stewards searched the 22,000 ton R. M. S. Strathaird, which is on the Australia run, when it was at Gibraltar, for a passenger who disliked music. He had thrown all the ship’s band instruments overboard during the night.

BRITISH GATHER ROMAN RELICS

London—A goat, a calf, several dogs and a barnyard fowl are immortalized in exhibits at the new Verulamium Museum, built by the Corporation of St. Albans and operated by Lord Harewood. They stepped on some unfired roof-tiles fresh from a Roman workshop nearly 2,000 years ago, and left their footprints behind. One large red tile 18 inches long tells an unmistakable story. At one end are the shallow pawmarks of a dog standing, and beside them, imbedded in the clay, a big flint pebble which must have scored a hit. At the other end are the deep paw-marks of the dog in full flight. Excavations Begun in 1930. The museum houses all the finds that lay hidden since the end of Roman days in Britain until the five year excavation begun in 1930 by Dr. E. R. Mortimer Wheeler and his late wife. Three almost perfect mosaic floors from rich men’s villas, between 12 to 14 feet wide, are set like pictures against one of the museum walls. “We had to bring Italian workmen to lift them intact from their position underground,” explained the curator, Philip Corder. The process, known only in Italy, included drying the mosaics out for weeks with stoves, covering them with sticky material and then canvas, and chipping away the cement underneath. Then they were rolled up like carpets and reset in new cement without disturbing, even by the fraction of an inch, the position of a single tessera. Tumbler Locks in Variety. The collection of household objects is remarkable. There are tumbler locks with keys of all sizes, a lamp chimney, jugs, dishes, cups, pens and. writing tablets, pins ahd needles both of bone and bronze, all sorts of counters for games, bits of window-pane domed nails, a roll of wire, domestic gods of pipeclay, and anti-splash bath room moulding. Among the women’s jewelry are two or three bronze brooches that look as if they might have been clips.. Toilet articles include spoons which are almost identical with those used by women today for scooping out face powder. One Roman woman kept her rouge in an oyster shell, for here it is with a quantity of straw-berry-colored pigment in It. STRING FREES PRISONER

South Paris, Me., July 7- — Alphie Lazzotte, 29, broke out of jail today with a piece of string. Held on an assault charge, Alphie lowered the string from his cell window, snared a piece of cord wood and pulled it up. With the wood he pried apart two window bars. Then he dropped eight feet to the jail yard and clambored to freedom over a 15foot fence. o HALIFAX YOUTHS ENLIST.

LIBYA PROVES TO BE ITALY'S COLONIAL GEM

Balbo Raises Military Value of Possession In Africa

Rome, July 7.—Under the stern but capable rule or Marshal Italo Balbo, Libya, Italy’s colony In North Africa, rapidly is becoming the most important link in Premier Benito Mussolini's new Roman Empire. Politically and strategically, Libya gives Italy a firm foothold in northern Africa and permits tighter control of the central Mediterranean by the use of submarines and airplanes based on Sicily and Libya, on opposite sides of “Mare Nostrum.” Libya, from Tripoli to Tobruk, bristles with airfields, barracks, coastal fortifications and military roads. Situated between Tunisia, over which France has a protectorate, and Egypt, allied to Great Britain, Libya represents a potential threat to both democracies, not only in Africa but in the Mediterranean. An asphalt highway streching for 1,250 miles along the seacoast from the Egyptian frontier to the Tunisian border permits Italy to move its land forces, always kept at a high level, With great speed. Cost Not Divulged The Italian government has spent a great deal of money (how much never has been revealed) to transform Libya into a flourishing colony from a desolate waste of deserts. Once the granary of the Roman Empire, it went to ruins through the centuries because of deforestation and overpasturage. It was still a pirate stronghold and barely supported a few hundred thousand Arab natives when Italy wrested it from Turkey following the ItaloTurkish war of 1911-1912. It was not until long after the World War that Gen. Rodolfo Graziani finally succeeded in “pacifying” the last of the rebellious natives. In 1933 Premier Mussolini sent Balbo to Libya to see what could be done with it. In six years the energetic governor has torn the colony upside down and made it blossom with flowers, farms and seaside resorts. Water has been found for the arid lands and settlers have been brougth from Italy. Population Steadily Rising Already there is a white population of approximately 150,000 in Libya and before 1940 Balbo hopes to increase it to 200,000. In one of the biggest mass migrations in history 1,800 families representing 20,000 persons sailed for Libya from Italian ports last year to settle on new farms. The colonists found houses and farms ready for them. Out of their yearly earnings the settlers will repay the government for the original cost of the land, the house and farm machinery. Nine more villages are under construction and more settlers will be leaving Italy this year. Balbo also is building settlements for natives to combat nomadism. Politically, Balbo’s colonization scheme is important because the settlers are all young Fascist militiamen who at a moment’s notice can become soldiers. The presence of these soldier-farmers in Libya gives Mussolini the security of a permanent army in that colony.

California Bids Democrats In Superlative Adjectives

Sacramento, Cal.—If the 1940 Democratic national convention is not held in* some California city, it will not be because one of the most superlatively worded invitations ever written was not extended. All the adjectives ever thought up by various chambers of commerce to describe the advantages of living in California were included in a resolution adopted by the legislature urging selection of a “major California city” for the 1940 Democratic national con— v tion. The memorial, sent to Chairman James A. Farley and the Demoeraytic National Committee, said in part: “Whereas, California is an ideal state within which to hold such a convention because of its adequate convention facilities, adequate and comfortable hotel accommodations, the unsurpassed cuisine, typical of all sections of the United States, the best entertainment in the world, the most equable spring climate in the United States with comfortable days and cool evenings, as contrasted with the climate of other sections of the United States; and “Whereas, California is an ideal state in which to hold such a con-

vention because of Lu ” .c:;;ellcd vacation attractions, such as lovely snow-capped mountains, with ice-cold, trout-filled sparkling streams, pleasant resorts, magnificent lakes, unsurpassed naturel and man-made harbors, beautiful beaches, a long coastline of varied character, and the longest and best paved highways in the world; and “Whereas, California is an ideal state in which to hold such a convention because of its friendly, —'1 people, made up of native and daughters and representing former residents of every state in the union—a people schooled in the art of hospitality and friendship and overflowing with a willingness and wish to show the representative Democrats of the United States that California is now the foremost and most progressive nation on earth; now therefore, be it “Resolved: That the assembly and senate of the state of California, jointly, memoralize the National Democratic Committee and the Honorable James A. Farley, chairman thereof, to designate a major city of the ^tate of California as a placd where the 1940 Democraitc national convention shall be held.”

Affections Cannot Be Alienated, Psychiatrist Says, Backed by Law

San Francisco—Alienation of affections is not only impossible but it is an infantile absurdity, according to Dr. S. L. Katzoff, consulting phychiatrist of the San Francisco Institute of Human Re lations. His statement was made in praising enactment by California of an “anti-gold digger” measure. Suits for breach of promise, seduction of persons of legal age and alienation of affections are outlawed. This alienation of affection racket is a gigantic swindle that should be curbed,” Dr. Katzoff said, “and I’m delighted that the . California legislature and other f state legislature are taking cogI nizance of this leech-like practice. And breach of promise is the legal Siamese twin of alienation of affection. Most love letters from men are extracted by cunning, hypocrisy and fraud. Especially is this true in the early days of the courtship. It should have no bearing or determining factor as to their mating abilities or their real love. Yet such letters are too often accepted as reliable evidence. “The woman who sues for heartbalm is a parasite. An honorable girl appreciates the fact that she has found out—before marriage— that she and the man she kept company with are nqt mated for each other. As a result of such knowledge they should part in a friendly way. They both should be thankful that they understand and agree that marriage is not for them, so far as the two of them are concerned. “How about girls who throw a man over?” asked Dr. Katzoff. “Haven’t men any hearts? If men have no hearts, why do women want such heartless beings. Why make it a business to sue those who have money instead of those who haven’t.” .

Zipper Zipping Causes Trouble

Hattiesburg, Miss.— Hattiesburg is at the mercy of another fad _which may become more nationally significant and devastating than other take-f>ffs from conventionality. as it at times infringes on private property and insults human modesty. No zipper is safe from the clutching fingers of the “zip the zipper” clan which has sprung up. A myth has been born among devotees of the new “art” that the person you meet (of the other sex, naturally) after you have zipped your hundredth zipper will be your future beloved. As zippers often protect personal vanity, the practices of the zipper enthusiasts are looked upon with great disfavor. But this is not enough. It is believed that only a zipper charged with 100 volts or so 'will ettrb the fad.

ITINERANT MERCHANTS PAY THEIR SHARE OF THE STATE INCOME TAXES

GHOSTS AT LAST WIN MINE TOWN

Indianabolis, July 7.le million dollars wc

More than

one million dollars worth of business done by itinerant merchants and show companies at Indiana fairs and carnivals was checked by a “flying v squadron” of inspectors from the Gross Income Tax Division during the 1938 season and subjected to the state gross income tak, Clarence A. Jackson, director of the state tax division, pointed out today with an announcement that final plans have been made for the 1939 show sea-

son.

“The Gross Income Tax Act applies to non-residents receiving income from sources within Indiana as well as to residents of the State,” Mr. Jackson said, “and it is a part of our yearly enforcement program to see that all itinerant merchants and show companies at the fairs and carnivals meet their responsibilities under the law.” For the year 1937 the gross income tax paid by 17,279 out-of-state taxpayers having income from within InAana, thus required to pay tax on the same basis as resident Hoosiers, neared the three million dollar mark with $2,959,429.67.

South Pass City, Wyo.—Wyoming’s newest ghost town, South Pass City, has only a few weatherbeaten frame shacks to remind visitors of the days when it boasted a population of 5,000 gold-hunt-ers, pioneers and gamblers. Abandoned more than 30 years after the rest of the state’s famous early-time mining camps were deserted by their nomadic settlers, South Pass City is surrounded by several booming modern mining camps. It lies near the crest -of the continental divide on the old Oregon trail 60 miles northeast of Rock Springs. In 1860 when the gold rush began, easterners and mid-western-ers flocked to the almost-virgin wilderness of Wyoming. Ore was found in large quantities, and the rapid influx of gold-seekers continued. Gamblers, bartenders and dance hall girls followed so that by 1865 South Pass City was one of a score of rip-roaring mining towns, echoing to the clink of picks "and shovels on rock, the blaring music of honkeytonk dance halls, the bark of six-shooters and the whine of the wind. The wind is all that remains to disturb the quiet of the hastily-constructed boom town. In 1878, with the decline of metal markets, the rest of the roaring frontier communities became ghost towns. The miners, gamblers and entertainers moved on to more lucrative fields. South Pass City, however, survived, although most of its residents departed. When modern methods were introduced in the 1920s, several large mining firms located near the once-famous town to extract an estimated $500,000 in gold ore from the surrounding hillsides. The little town retained its postoffice and place on the map while other communities of its kind were remembered only in name. Other ghost towns of the state, some marked by a few staggering frame shacks, still others torn down by the elements and settlers, include Cambria, in northeastern Wyoming near Newcastle; Battle, south of South Pass City in the Medicine Bow national forest; Rambler, two miles south of Battle; Eadsville, atop scenic Casper mountain, and Lavoye, in the Salt Creek field in Natrona county. o - OIL-LESS OIL WELL New York—Don’t look now, but the only oil in the oil well derrick that pounds away day in and day out at the petroleum exhibit of the New York World’s Fair is used to prevent squeaks in the machinery.

FILIPINOS PUSH LEPROSY STUDY

Cleveland, O. — Boyish, smiling Dr. Ricardo Guinto, 31-year-old native Filipino, came halfway around the world from Cebu, P. I., to bring to Western Reserve University invaluable data on leprosy which he and fellow scientists have accumulated for six years. With Dr. J. A. Doull of the Western Reserve medical school, Dr. Jose N. Rodriquez of the Philippine Health Service, and Dr. George Saunders, now working in the Virgin Islands, Dr. Guinto has been conducting the first systematic epidemiological field studies of the disease. The work is sponsored jointly by the American Leprosy Foundation (Leonard Wood Memorial Fbnd) and the bureau of health of the Philippines. Better Facilities Available “The primary purpose of Dr. Guinto’s coming to Western Reserve,” said Dr. Doull, who as chairman of the American Leprosy Foundation, helped initiate the field studies in 1933, “is to enable us to use the facilities here in working down the tremendous amount of information which has been accumulated.” The scientists have mapped whole islands, interviewed and examined thousands of persons and tabulated the results on thousands of cards and papers. “We are concentrating our work in Cebu province—in the southern end of the Philippines,” Dr. Guinto said. “There leprosy is unusually prevalent. In fact, one-quarter of all the lepers in the Philippines are in Cebu, which has a population of approximately 1,000,000. “There are at least 2,000 lepers in Cebu—an unusually high concentration.’ Dr. Guinto said that the American Leprosy Foundation had established there the Eversley-Childs treatment station and the Cebu skin dispensary. Institution Houses 1,000 This institution comprises 40 buildings—all complete and all paid for out of voluntary contributions, I mostly by Americans. They house about 1,000 lepers. “When the American Leprosy Foundation was organized,” Dr. Doull said, “large sums of money were spent on the feeding of thousands of lepers. o Hunt For Gold In River Beds Of Arizona On

Prescott, Ariz.—- The fevered days of Arizona’s early ’80 s are being re-enacted on the frontiers of this part of the state as the summer months have reviyed again the lure of placer gold. Prospectors, with their weatherbeaten string of pack mules, are winding out of civilization to streams where spring freshets have replenished sands with a meager supply of alluvial gold. When the same fields were first placered, gold had been collecting through the stream beds for thousands of years. But with most of the beds “worked out,” the prospector of today is yet-hopeful he can wash out and recover little pieces of the yellow metal missed in the hurried operations of the past. The bits of gold were formerly known as “colors” — today they mean the livelihood of an estimated 2,000 persons in the state. In Granite Creek, which runs through the western section of Prescott, a large number of men daily wash rocky gravels to earn a living. A short distance from the city’s industrial plants, men and women alike are digging into the treek banks, removing big slices of earth to be either “panned” or “sluiced” for gold. No “bonanza” of the early ’80’s is found now, but many unemployed men and women make a living in the placer beds. The possibility of a rich strike in an overlooked area still prevails. • o War-time operations of the telphone and telegraph by the United States cost -the government $14,418,237.

Yellow Bow Tie Rated No. 1 Collegiate Wardrobe Article

n /’N 1 /T Ow. T\ /T i ^ — 1 i t

Oberlin, <$.—Old Sam Mintz, who

travels throughout the nation to more than 200 colleges in search of old clothes, found male students at Oberlin college as well dress-

ed as any in the country. “Yellow jazz-bow ties in the best

of taste,” the cut-rate sartorial ambassador said approvingly, “Not too much crease in the trouser. Hats freshly trampled. Unsupported socks. Shoes unshined. All through the country I find these signs of collegiate taste, but nowhere are they better than here ”

Sam, grizzled and gray, is an

old clothes man—but an old cloth-

es man deluxe.

“All the suits I buy,” he said as he stood in the yard of Whitehouse, college residence hall, “come off the backs of the nation’s

college men.

“For 30 years I’ve bought suits

this way.

College men all along his route eagerly await his arrival, for according to the aged coat-connois-seur, his purchases have financed more collegiate dates and dances than any other single, factor in the nation’s halls of higher learning. “Why, you can figure for yourself,” he said. “I buy an average of 25 suits ^n each college I visit, and I’ve visited an average of 200 a year for 30 years. That’s 150,000 suits! Probably two-thirds of the lads sold me their suits to finance

a date*or dance.

“Counting the girls, that’s 200,000 people I’ve brought together! Mintz said he finds it necessary to make a good appearance when paying the collegiate trade. He drives a big, new motor car. “I have to dress well, too,” he said. “This suit I’m wearing used to belong to one of the best-dressed men on the Yale campus.” Students at Oberlin always are eager to ask Mintz what the sipdents at other colleges and universities are wearing. “This year,” he said, “college dressing about the same. Checks are much in favor—including those from home. Bow ties are worn almost everywhere in the

nation.”

Mintz has come to Oberlin so many times the students recognize him immediately and the word goes around that collegiate assets again are liquid. Before he began purchasing second-hand clothing from students, Mintz owned a clothing store in Lorain, O. “This is much better,” he said. “I like to travel around the country and meet the college boys. Its an education—in fact, a revela-

tion ! ”

Mintz complimented students here on their honesty. “Not once,” he chuckled, “have 1 had a fellow sell me his roommate’s clothes!”

Crack Third Baseman Sits on Bench But as State Supreme Court Justice

Topeka, Kas.—Justice Hugo Wedell of the Kansas supreme court, doesn’t approve of the reference to members of high tribunals as “old men.” He believes he is the only supreme court justice in the United States who spends his spare time playing baseball with a uniformed team, but he is convinced that other high court judges have similarly active hobbies. Wedell, who still is one of the best fielding third basemen in the amateur ranks, said that he felt much more comfortable in a baseball uniform and spiked shoes than in the cloaked austerity of a supreme court justice. “And I still can stop most of the hot ones, if I don’t have to go too far over for them, he said.” Wedell is playing this season on a Topeka town team composed mostly of “old timers.” He has been a standout both at hat and afield in the team’s early games and says he intends to continue playing for a number of years. His past records as a baseball player indicates that he might have become a major league star had he not chosen to continue a law career rather than one on the diamond. _ Shortly after he was graduated from high school he became such a star on the Emporia, Kas., normal school team that a scout for the Philadelphia Phillies signed him to a contract. He played part of a season with the Phillies and then was farmed out to York, Pa., of the Tri-State league. At that time semi-pro tournaments in Kansas and Nebraska were drawing huge crowds and he asked for a release to return to his home state. “The tournaments out hefe ran three days in each town,” he said. I used to pitch the first and third games and play infield in the second game. Some times we made as much as $135 a week and I saved enough money to go to the University of Kansas law school.” Much manuel labor has been eliminated in Alabama by the use of hydraulic mining.

DIVERS TO HUNT CITY UNDER SEA

Tampa, Fla—A party of adventurous Americans, headed by Capt. Robert Hall of Detroit, is' bound for the West Indies where they hope td explore the submerged city of St. James, sunk 300 feet beneath the sea during an earthquake in 1680. “When the earthquake struck suddenly virtually every inhabitant of the town was lost under the sea and a vast wealth is said to have gone down Jn the city, Hall explained. Hall said the party, composed of Jack Browne of Milwaukee; Kuperi Conrad, Detroit artist; George Lawson, magazine illustrator and James Murdock and Jack Gallon, ette, students at the University ot Michigan, would collaborate in pre. paring a book describing their explorations. Browne manufactures helium self-containing diving suits which will be used to reach the submerged city. He said divers had descended successfully to a depth of 420 feet in the suits which have no air tubes attached and are lowered to the ocean floor by a cable containing a telephone wire for communication. The city of St. James formerly was the capital of St. Kitts island in the Lesser Antiles. According to Hall, the coral-en-crusted walls of the town are visible from the surface during a calm sea. Equipment placed aboard the motorship Albee .when the party left Tampa included five undersea cameras, undersea compression gun, all deep-sea diving equipment and diving lungs. Hall said that they planned to examine several submerged wrecks during the voyage to the West Indies.
