ROacheS

Some people tolerate roach es and waterbugs in the kit chen, in vain belief that the rest of the family will not find it out. Perhaps they will not, but suppose. that some day you would serve a roach in the pie; perhaps then you would wish that you had spent 2Oc for a box of Cyrus Roach Powder.

JAPAN EXPRESSES HOPE
Agreement With United States Over
Alien Land Ownership De-
sired by Officials.

TOXIC. Japan. January 29.-Hopes are
expressed in official circles here today
that a basis of understanding on the
California alien land ownership question
will be found by the United States and
japanese governments, which are both
actively seeking a solution.
The chief concern here at present seems
to be in regard to future legislation in
America, and it is said any additional
enactments unfavorable to japanese
would be considered a serious menace to
the traditional friendship of the two
countries.
The government at Washington has
endeavored to assure Japan that the
state of California would cease adopting
legislation held by Japan to be dis
criminatory. This is admitted here, but
it is pointed out that owing to the politi-
cal distinction between the governments
of Washington and California there
might be some difficulty in obtaining
reasonable assurances for the future.
