JAPAN DIsLIKES u. S. REPLY
Nation Disappointed Because America
Accepts None of Tokyo's
Contentious.

Tokyo, July 21.-Deep disappoint-
ment is felt in Japan over the Amer
lean reply to the last two Japanese
notes on the California alien land own
ership law, because it does not accept
any of the Japanese contentious that
the law violates the Japanese-Ameri-
can treaty and because it does not Of
fer any suggestion for a solution of the
difficulty.
Japan has not decided on it's next
step, but is so DESTROYS of maintaining
friendly relations that the adoption of
retaliatory measures, such as denunci-
alton of the treaty or reduction of the
rights of Americans in Japan is not ex-
pected.
The public generally is absorbed in
the Chinese situation. Official advices
show that the rebellion in southern
China has become grave.

To Avert Drowning.

Keep cool.
Do not feel alarmed if your head
should sink below the surface once
or twice-you are bound to come to
the surface.
Keep your hands under the water.
Even though you do not swim you are
bound to float for considerable time,
providing you keep your hands below
the surface. Most people drown be-
cause, directly they come to the sur
face, they raise their hands above the
surface and shout for help.
Keep the mouth closed until the
body attains the floating position /;
then try and breathe naturally
through the mouth.
Propel yourself all you can with
your hands
If you have any knowledge what
ever about swimming try to remove
your clothing. The longer you are
in the water the more water soaked
they become and the quicker YOU
will sink.
When help comes to you do just as
you are told, and above all else do
not attempt to seize hold of the
swimmer who is TRYING to save
you. New York Press.
