Los ANGELES LADY
TELLS Of THE RACE
PROBLEM IN STATE
Says Japanese Do Not Be-
come Americanized and
Sell Their Land to
Japs Only

Features which are particularly indi-
vidual makes the Japanese problem of
California far more important than would
appear from casual observation in the
belief of Mrs. J. H. Hogan, a resident
of Los Angeles, but who for the past
month or two has been visiting in Bir-
mingham. Mrs. Hogan has lived in Cali
fornia for many years and has come into
actual every day contact with what in
California is called the Jap problem"
1T is merely repetition of history
once again, the struggle of one race for
supremacy over another" she said yes
terday. I'm California 1t is between the
yellow and the white and in Alabama il
is between the black and the white. The
white will conquer, as it always has, by
one means or another.
But the black and white race problem
has h.een solved in the south in compari-
son with conditions in California between
the Japs and Americans. A Jap who
comes to this country, or at least the
Japs in California, come here as Japan
COG aiid iciiidllll OdPdnesc. intJ refuse W
be Americanized They refuse to adopt
support American institutions. They
come to California, buy a piece of land
and every cent they can make from it
they send back to their native country.
After they have accumulated enough
money to allow them to live retired life
the rest of their days, they follow their
money and go back to Japan. And then
instead of selling their land to Ameri-
cans they will not sell it unless they can
transfer it to another Jap. Land which
has once passed into the hands of these
little yellow people, stays there forever.
Each owner makes his small fortune off
it, hands it over to the next and so on.
And what is small sum In this country,
allows a man to lead a retired life in
Japan they do not have to save up
what we call fortune
THE Japanese are industrious. You
have to give them credit for that. But
their life in California amounts almost to
a colonization of a part of that state by
Japan, for few of them or of their chill
dren, ever become citizens of this coun-
try
III the sOuln tne negro Is American
almost the same as the white man. He
adopts and uses American institutions,
becomes an American citizen, is factor
in American industry and commerce and
deals with the white American in almost
every way except socially Therein lies
the difference between the negro or al
most any other race and the Japanese.
And that's why sooner or later, L think
California will succeed in her efforts to
save that great state for Americans"

Hattie M. Cavanaugh, 1881 Sixth avenue,

Complexion Secrets
Of An Actress"

In recently issued volume bearing
the above title, the author says: Con
tinuous use of grease paints, rouge and
the like. had ruined my complexion. Ny
skin was colorless. wrinkled, coarse and
punctured with large pores. In Eng
land / heard of the virtues of mercol-
lied wax; my first experience with this
marvellous substance convinced me 1t
was more valuable than all cosmetics
combined Now whenever my COM
plexion begins TO go wrong | get an
ounce of mercolized wax at the nearest
drug store, spread on thin layer of 1t
before retiring, washing 1t off next
morning. The wax, after a few such
treatments. seems literally to absorb
the worn-out cuticle, when a brighter,
healthier, younger-looking skin appears.
For the wrinkles and enlarged pores,
began using solution of saxolite, one
ounce, dissolved in half pint witch
hazel. Bathing the face in this every
day for awhile soon relieved the condi

been the n unpleasant incident of
Edith's wedding. In all the ten years
since then they had not seen her.

eyes that h hid them as soon as
she could. Two or three times Hugh
