Pacific Coast Is Excited Over Japarlese

WASHINGTON. The Pacific coast nsnln Is becoming highly wrought up over the silent, steady pei etration of t!:t section of the country by the Japanese, and Intends to press remedial measures at the next session of congress. The house committee on Immigration lias been Investigating the situation, holding hearings in California and visiting the Japanese settlementK. in preparation for action on various pending bills ranging all the way from outright exclusion of Japanese to amendment of the Constitution, withholding American citizenship fnm American born Japanese. Senator Phelan of California sees Japan reaching out for domination of the Pacific, and profVssvs great fear that unless Japan-is halted the Unlted States will bo worsted by the oriental power, not only hi trade, but in war.

Not Many Conscientious Objectors Left

FiltTY-ONK conscientious objectors are still being held in military prisons and disciplinary barracks for their refusal to recognize and obey military authority, according to a bulletin issued by the American Civil Liberties union. Mot of the sentences these men ure serving will expire this year. Two enferees will expire in li)'J." and one in 1!'!!::. A few will expire In 1!J1 and V.-L These objectors are tin remnant of a total of Miiie u(H out of ;;.,',- 000 men called to the colors who refused to perform military service. The others neeepted noneombatant service or went on farms, or with reconstruction units. Of those whose scruples prevented them from rendering any service or obedience whatever, only forty-one remain, and these could obtain their liberty at any time, the union admits, if they would forego their scruples to the point of obeying the rules and regulations and performing the duties required of other prisoners. The union claims that America Is the only country among those which recognized conscientious objection to nctlve participation in war. which has Taking No Chance on O GHTTHIS 7ÄnWAV(fJANDX' y I'LL TAKE f OU - ANYIIY Mümling at the right spot at the right moment in the big Union station in Washington one night might have seen Kepresentntive Hen Johnson of Kentucky performing an odd chore. it wouldn't have looked so tunny if Johnson were not so tall and of such dignilted appearance.

Hardwood Scarce, Furniture Takes Jump

SCAKCITY of high-grade hardwood lumber and'Its increased cost have largely contributed to the increased cos of furniture, says the forest service of the I'nlted States department of agriculture In a report to the senate on timber depletion, prices, exports, nd ownership. Higher lumber prices are multiplied it. retail furniture prices. An Increase it. raw material cost to the manufacturer of S,"i adds $t to .510 to the retail charge, and the purchaser actually pajs for the lumber !n a piece of furniture three or four times prewar prices. Other industries, such as those making cneer. handles, ehlcles, and agricultural implements, which require high grade hardwoods hae likewise been m rlously affected. The history of ail these industries has ben much the same, the report stater.. They began In the northeast when; for many years local supplies of timber were ample for their needs. Th. waning of these supplies forced the industries westward, where they found magnificent virgin hardwood stands, and expanded rapidly. In the Inst fifteen or twenty years they have

"Unless we take to heart the lessons of history" says Senator Phelnn, "we will, by our lack of vigilance, permit n foothold to be gained by these people which will ultimately not only defeat us commercially In the carrying trade, as they are fast doinp, but militarily in the next world war. Our civilization Is at stake.' "A Japanese colony under the American tiK !s not compatible with the growth of an American state," continues Senator Phelan. 'The soil of California Is being absorbed by the Japanese and legislation, state and federal, is now being evoked to stem the yellow tide. - It is a race as well as an economic problem. "California refuses submissively to permit Its native population to be driven off the soil. If these people want California let them take It, not stealthily, by this process of economic penetration, but let them tight for it. California, unfortunately. Is just as much their tributary territory today under our generous laws as though they had conquered It by the power of arms. 'The Japanese gove.nment looks after its natjouals throughout the world. It can call on them wherever they are. They are not released from allegiance. Kmpcror worship Shintoism Is their creed.'

not long since released all men imprisoned for this reason. "These men," says the union's bulletin, referring to conscientious objectors still In military prisons In this country, "are being released slowly as their sentences expire, or by 'special order for reasons not ex-plained by the war department, which has no consistent policy of dealing with conscientious objectors and never had any. All that can be said of the present policy Is that the department will not release" before expiration of full sentence men who refuse to work under military authority in prison. 'Then' is no prospect for 'general amnesty.' Letters on specific cases addressed to the secretary of war may help in securing 'special orders' of release." Not Getting Mandy should be standing there saying over and over again: "Kight this way,' Mandy;' I'll take care of you." What sense was there to a man doing such a thing as "than After he had said it many times Johnson went away, but In a couple of hours he was back again, repeating the same line, with the sann calm dignity as before. People were puzzled. Vet It was all simple enough. The Johnsons had sent to Kentucky for a cook, name of Mandy. They knew her name, but that was all: they didn't iven know for sure what train would bring her. Hut, according to reports, she was a wonderful cook who could play culinary selections on a gas atove just by ear. producing southern dishes of ran quality and fragraneo. She was too good a cook to lose, and she was not accustomed to tinding street addresses in strange cities. And that was the reason why the dignified congressman went to all the trains and cried out, every time he saw an able-bodied colored woman: "Uightthis way, Mandy; VU take care of you." been forced to reach out both north and south for timber, as the forests along the Ohio river were exhausted. At present, their sources of supply are very largely the more remote nnd Inaccessible parts of the Appalachian mountains and the lower Mississippi valley. When these forests are cut out. no other extensive virgin hardwood forests will be left for the industries to draw on. A demand for furniture in excess of the normal capacity of the factories, low stocks of hardwood lumber, greatly decreased production, and the dltllculty and uncertainty of obtaining adequate supplies of material, have all injected a very large speculative clement Into the furniture Industry.

Where Bugs Hibernate. The bureau of entomology offers the following Information: The chinch bugs spend the winter In clumps of hunch grass and under dead leaves and rubbish. In the spring they emerge and fly to Holds of young wheat, where they lay their eggs on the root tops and stems. When the wheat commences to ripen and dry, the young bugs leave the wheat fields In armies and walk for most of them cannot lly to the cornfields, where they do the greatest damage. The fact that they make the migration from the vlieat to the corn by walking gives the farmer his opportunity to check the Invasion by pouring road oil along the bottom of a shallow furrow dug across the line of numb. Deep holes should be dug every 25 feet along the furrow on the side nearest the wheat to trap the bugs. Spray Infested Corn. Corn already infested may be sprayed with kerosene emulsion along Chinch Bug. the first rows to prevent the bugs from going farther. Some corn will be injured by the spray, but the balance will be safe from the bug. As a preventive measure, bum all trash and dried grasses, especially suciras grow in clumps like -'broom sedge" during early winter or early spring. Roadsides and pastures should receive most thorough treatment of this character. WORKING FOR BETTER SIRES Virginia Farmer Enrolls in "Better Sires Better Stock" Movement Discards Grades.

Lacking Essential Can Be Overcome by Providing Air Duct of Wood, Metal or Trra Cotta, Fitted in One of the Windows. It Is necessary to have good ventilation if food and vegetables are to be kept safely In storage. In many cellars under dwellings the lack of ventilation Is the only essential that is lacking. However, this can usually be easily overcome by providing an air duet constructed of wood, metal .or terra cotta, which, fitted In one of the windows, is desirable, as it permits the cool air to enter at the bottom of the room. Two or more joints of (- Inch stovepipe, one with a damper, and an elbow may be used. A piece of board with a hole the size of the pipe Is fitted in the window in place of one of the panes of glass.

The air duct may be made of wood, terra cotta, or metal and installed In place of a pane of glass, thus avoiding cutting through the cellar wall. A hinged door the size of another pane of glass may serv? as an outlet for the warm air. the sash and a small hinged door titted in its place, which when open allows the heated air to escape. In cold weather both the hinged door and the damper In the stovepipe must be closed. The windows in the storage room should be darkened In order "to protect the vegetables from the light. Hurrels, crates, boxes, or bins may be used as containers for the various vegetables, but movable containers1 are preferable to built-in bins, as it is possible to remove them for cleaning. It is advisable to construct shelves or a slat iloor to keep the crates, boxes, baskets, and oUht containers off the ground. This is highly desirable to insure a free circulation of air and to prevent the containers from harboring mice, rats, and other vermin. The shelves for canned goods along one side of the room need not be more than C inches wide. MARQUIS WHEAT iS POPULAR Yielding Quality Greater Than That of Any Other Variety, With Exception of Durum.
