Where a house with a telephone was

there are large holdings of land by for

Text of the Article.
Article l is as follOws:
"Foreigners domiciled or resident in
Japan and foreign juridical persons reg
istered therein shall enjoy the right of
ownership in land, provided always that
in the countries to which they belong
such right is extended to Japanese sub
iects and japanese juridical persons, and
provided further, in case of foreign jul
ridical persons. that they shall obtain
permission from the minister for home
affairs for the acquisition of such own
ership.
..The foregoing provisions shall be ap-
plicable only to foreigners and foreign
juridica1 persons belonging to the coun-
tries to be designated by imperial ordi-
nance
.Article II. Foreigners and foreign
juridical persons cannot enjoy the right
of ownership in land in the following
districts l. Hokkaido Nezo). . For

tricts necessary for national defense. The
districts coming under No. of the pre-
ceding paragraph shall be designated by

1t so happens that under this last
mentioned provision, No. 4, much of Jap
anese territory desired by foreign bust
ness houses and corporations has been
barred to them. OF course, under article
1. the prohibition as to Americans will
become absolute if the act is carried into
effect.

EDUCATIONAL "MOVIES"
SEEN BY SCHOOL PUPILS
Hundreds of Children Taken to and
From 9th Street Theater
in Automobiles.

Hundreds of children of the District
pubic schools today attended the first
OF series of educational motion picture
shows arranged by teachers of the
schools. presented at 9th street theater
Besides the children a large number of
school officials and teachers were pres
ent.
The series has been arranged by the
teachers to try to create a definite de-
mand for more films and shows of an
educational nature, and to do away with
pictures which they say are not suitable
for children. 1t also is hoped by those
supporting the movement that this may
have a tendency to get children to attend
the motion picture theaters in the day
time and at the same time keep them
from going to such places at night-es-
pecially alone.
Miss Cecil Norton and Miss G. R.
Johnston are the teachers directly back
of the movement. They have been work
ing along this line for about year
and a half. but today's show was the
first definite result of their work in OBJ
tanning a public performance in accord
with their ideas.
Taken to Theater in Autos.
Children were brought to the theater
from all parts Of the city in auto
mobiles, sightseeing and private convey
ances being used. While they were be-
ing unloaded and taken into the theater
motion pictures were taken of them.
These will be shown at the next per-
Torrance
Music for the occasion was furnished
by a complete orchestra and was selected
by the teachers. The films also were
selected by the teachers, and one Pan
doras Box was made under their direc-
ton, pupils of the District schools being
the actors.
After leaving the theater most of the
children were taken back to their schools
by automobiles. These vehicles will be
used again at the next exhibit. 49,.
