JAPANESE NAVAL
base At TURTLE
BAY ONLY myth
Flowery Kingdom Battle
ships There Are Salvag-
ing Cruiser ASama
WASHINGTON NOT
ALARMED over REPORT
Nv The United Press.

BY The United Press.
WASHINGTON. April 15.-Ohicial
washington was interested but not
excited today in Los Angeles reports
that Japanese warships have estab-
lished base at Turtle Bay. 400 miles
south of San Diego. There was dis
position. however. to consider the re-
ports misleading. 1t has been known
that Japanese war vessels we're stand
ing of the Mexican coast. but Ad-
mirai Howard reported that they
were engaged in salvage work on the
cruiser Asama, aground near the
mouth of the bay
That they would take every precau-
tion TO avoid a surprise by any Ger
man fleet was taken for granted, but
officials we're skeptcal of the story
that they had mined the harbor
mouth.
The entire report caused little
furry in army or navy circles al
though naturally. interest is felt in
knowing just what actually is trans
piring on the west coast
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Roosevelt said that Howard's vessels
are cruising along the coast con-
stantly and must know what is tran
spring: the Admiral surely wonld
have been heard from if conditions
were as related in Los Angeles.
Considering their salvage work. he
declared it natural that the japanese
should have ships in the bay, tents
ashore for the men and probably q
guard TO prevent a surprise by Ger.
man ships. The secretary remarked
that mines and buoys looked mucf
alike at a distance.
The State Department also secuted
the Turtle bay story. II was donieS
by Secretary Bryan that Ambassador
Chinda ever discussed such a matter
The Asama having been wrecked II
Mexican waters. it was said it wa
not Americas affair what steps Japal
took to refoat her
Il can authorize a complete. en-
phatic denial that Japan has estab
lished a naval base on the MeXicai
West Coast or has any such inten
fion," said Attache Hiroshi Saito, o
the Japanese embassy.
"In connection with salvage opera
tions on the Asama. it is possible tn
shoals have been marked and tina
salvage workers are living in tent
on shore. II guns have been landed
they are from the Asama. which mus
be lightened to be aoated."

with scarlet and gold; the scarlet and
gold was repeated In the carved but
tons which closed the coat, Russian
fashion, on the left shoulder, in the
braided girdle, and again heading the
hem of the short, full skirt. With
this suit, which was worn one after

out from the bushes stepped a poor

of the doggie.

he cried again: boo hoo! Boo hoo!

But why are you crying?" asked
Jackie. did you step on a thorn or a

Where do you live?" inquired
Peetie. "Tell us before you cry n

and he would take me home" went on
the doggie. But l can't find any,

"My name is Wig-Wag," answered
the lost doggie, "and I'm called that
because I can. wig-wag my tell"
ooh! we can do that Also" spoke
Peetie. But come on, we will try to

So the two puppies helped the lost
doggie to dry his tears on some soft
grass, and then they started of with
him. Well, they looked this way, and
they looked that way, and all around,
besides up and down and crisis cross,
but they couldn't find Wig-Wag's home.
"Oh!" exclaimed the lost doggie.
"Ill never see my mamma again."
Then Peetie and Jackie hunted hard
er than ever for the lost doggie's house
but it wasn't to be found. And they
had a terrible time.
They fell in a mud puddle all three
of them, and a big snake chased them,
and an owl hooted at them, and a big
bird tried to swoop down and grab
them, and a fox snapped his teeth at
them, and an immense rat tried to nip
poor Wig-Wag, but Peetie and Jackie
took good care of him.
Well, they hunted and hunted and
hunted until they were very weary, but
they couldn't find where the lost dog

"We will take you to our kennel
house, Wig-Wag, and keep you there
until your folks come for you"

and plain materials; for the girl who
likes something different" attractive
materials come by the yard, to be
made up, sweater coat fashion, with
any colored collar and cuffs she may
desire. No school outfit is complete
without a suit of boomers Of serge or
light weight flannel for basketball, bar
yaulting and all the other gymnastics
demanded Of the healthy, athletic
school girl Of today.
To wear with these sweaters and top
coats there are round hats in wooden

Demand for the one-Piece Frock.
It stands to eason that If the suit
skirt is worn in the class room, it will
soon become shiny and shabby while
the coat remains perfectly good; here
is where the one-piece dress of serge
or g%abardine is most practical aside
from it's convenience and becoming

or comfortable than one Of these sim
