DIVERSE OPINION OVER
RETENTION OF ISLANDS
Japanese Not Entirely Unanimous
on Question of Marshall and
Caroines Seizures.

TOXIC. March 10-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press).-Public
opinion in Japan is not entirely
unanimous on the question whether
Japan shall retain possession of the
Marshall and Caroline islands. which
she took from Germany and now holds.
The Osaka Mainichi sets forth the at
titude of many Japanese thipkers IN
an article in which that newspaper
insists that the isla nds shall he re-

America was allowed to seize and for
tify Hawaii and thus to greatly
threaten Japan: II She was permitted
to occupy Guam and the Philippines,
making them not only a source of
wealth to herself but also II great
menace to Japan, China and the Brit

Prick|y Porky Doesn't Know
What to Do.

When Prickly Porky heard Sammy
Jay screaming the news about tho loss
OF his thousand little spears, he had
known for tho f1rst time the meaning
OF real fear. You see. without thore
little spears he felt helpless, We,
helpless. indeed. He knew that II
Buster Bear happened to be awake
and should hear the news 1t was more
than likely that Buster would take
it into his head to try to get q dinner
Of fat porcupine. He hoped that Bus
ter wasn't awake yet. He knew that
Buster had been asleep all winter and
he hoped that he was still asleep.
Up IN the top Of a tall hemlock
Prickly Porky shivered a. be thought
OF what might happen. He heard
Sammy Jays voice grow fainter and
fainter In the distance. Then he
couldn't hear It ct al because Sammy
was 90 far away. Somehow be felt
better then For q long time he sat
there doing nothing but trying to
think what it would be best to do
until he should get a new supply of
little spears: Thinking Is hard work
for Prickly Porky. His wits are very
slow. Thinking Is about the hardes st
work he can do.
BY and by he heard Sammy Jays
voice again. He felt like covering up
his ears so as not to hear. OF course,
he didn't do anything like that, but
he did his best not to listen. Sammy's
voice sounded louder because Sammy
was drawing nearer. Suddenly Prick
]y Porky realized that somehow Sam
my's voice sounded different from
what it had. Then he listened. You
know what Prickly Porky heard. 1t
was the news that Buster Bear was
awake.
Just as soon as he really under.

ENGLISH CHANNEL
TUBE SOON BEGINS
Long Projected Tunnel to
Cost About $1OO,000,0W
to Get Under Way.
WILL BE 80 MILES LONG

LONDON. March 13 correspondence
of the Associated Press).-1ntense in
terest has been aroused by the gov
ernment's announcement that the long
projected tunnel under the English
channel to connect England and
France is soon to be constructed. The
cost Of the enterprise is roughly esti-
mated at $1O0.00o,O00. Some say the
tunnel could be completed in five and
a half years.
A commission in Paris which has
considering the building of tunnels
under the Bosporus. connecting Eu-
rope with Asia, and one from Gibral-
tar. connecting Europe with Africa.
The English Channel Tunnel Com
pany already has done a vast amount
sumption of actual construction OF
the tunnel to France. Engineering
plans are said to be SO far advanced
that the work could begin at once.
With the exception Of the Panama
canal, it will be the biggest engineer
ing enterprise of modern times The
total length. including approaches in
England and France. will be thirty
two miles, with more than twenty
one and half miles OF it under the
sea. The plans provide for two tun-
nels, each eighteen feet in diameter,
connected by cross galleries at inter-
walls of 200 yards.
Tunnel Level Below Sea $50 Feet.
The maximum depth Of water on the
route is lso feet and cover Of chalk
about 100 feet thick would be left un-
disturbed above the crown Of the tun-
mel. to provide against danger from
enemy attack with submarine explo-
sives. Tho tunnels level below the
sea thus will be about 2s0 feet.
Iron tubes will be built as the tun-
mel advances. Tho extraordinary ad-
vance made IN tunneling in recent
will enable tho engineers to proceed
with great speed. The railway lines
will be operated by electricity as in
the case Of the Simplon tunnel under
the s.t swi:s q MOUNTAIN 1s,1 Of that name. and
longest at present in the world.
Before tho war the quickest service
from London to Paris was In six hours
forty-five minutes With the tunnel
the journey could be made in six
hours. whatever tho weather.
Geological Formations Problem. !
speaking OF the problems OF build
Ing the tunnel, English engineers say
the sea itself offers no dimculty; that
the only risk lies in the geological
formations. The first layer under the
channel is white chalk, and beneath
this IL q belt Of gray chalk some 800
feet thick. The great question ie
whether the gray chalk is impervious
to water.
The exact points for starting the
tunnel have not been determined, bu
expert opinion favors a spot Just be-
hind Dover and. in France, q point
close to Cape Grisne1.
The tunnel will be capable Of han
ding 10000 passengers and 10000
tons OF goods each way in twenty-foul
hours: Ordinary railway rolling stock,
including sleeping and dining cars,
will be able to use tho route.

Find All Hotels Filled.

Since it is necessary to make hotel
reservations three or four weeks
ahead. it is easy to imagine how dis
piritinE IS the welcome received by
these travellers, it il stated. In some
instances American business men have
visited from fifteen to twenty hotels
only to find they were filled up Tor
weeks.
Another discomfort is that there is
no steam heat except in few in
stances, and, on account Of the coal
rationing, hotels are not permitted to
have heat in bedrooms, except In cases
of illness. Travellers are advised to
provide themselves with woolen un-
derwear and heavy clothing. This ap-
plies, in a less measure. to the summer
as we'll as to the winter months.
Alien regulations are still in effect
and it is, therefore. necessary for
American visitors to report to the po-
lice station. This also is an incon-
venience, but Is said to be necessary.
The hotels. 1t Is stated. have not
greatly increased their rates, but on
account of the extraordinary demands
for accomm odattons they are often
able to obtain high prices for inferior
accommoda tions. A room and bath at

PRIDE OF THE HOME OWNER

"That little place wonder, in the blossoms, where the trees wave well come-that's my home.'
 It is the true home maker-the real home lover---who says that, coming from the days tasks, with all the pride of home ownership.
 And that is the pride that's felt by the thousands owners of the homes of city streets, or the little home places that help to brighten city borders out where a greener world begins.
 It's the pride of proprietorship- life's happiness summed up in briei sentence:
 That's my home"
 Business enterprise builds cities but it builds them around homes.
 "A city of homes" is the phrase that awakens interest everywhere. Anc the age of ownership is coming tc be the wonder of the time, with youth looking providently to the future planning for it, working for it, wi.l all youths hope and strength!
 The humblest shelter may hold hap. piness enough if the one who walks the way that leads to it can say, ir the hearts pride:
 That's my home!"

NEW VARIETY BEAN
 IN CLIFF DWELLING

Popular Mechanics publishes story of the discovery, in an Arizona cliff dwelling, of a variety of bean hitherto unknown. The location of the partic- ular ruin is not given. The article says:
 During a vacation trip among the crumbling cliff dwellings of Arizona it was one mans good fortune to stumble upon a small cave, hitherto unopened. Dislodging the boulders that had blocked the entrance for per- haps centuries, he was greeted by the customary sitting skeletons. His real ly important find. however, was made when he pried off slab of rock thai sealed a pocket in the wall. He found beans. They were fine, large beans too, all clinging together in a solid mass that seemed to indicate the de cay of the receptacle that once had held them. At his touch all disinte. grated save two. These he carefully pocketed, carried to his home, and planted. One grew, and is said to be today the ancestor of big, healthy beans that are declared by many seed. men to be of a new variety"

How much rent do you pay?


 If you are renter, you make your landlord a present of the house you live in every ten years. Do you real ize that with small weekly payments it is possible for you to become a land owner, home owner? Do you know that by the small weekly payment plan you can create an inheritance for your children, make yourself inde- pendent in your old age and establish a basis of credit that will be of un- told value to you should you ever be in need?
 An investment in real estate has ad- any other investment. When you in- vest in home, you can enjoy the possession of that home while you are paying for it. If you invest in home in a growing prosperous city-Flag- staff, for instance-your property in- creases in value as the city grows.
 The certainty of growth here in Flagstaff makes it wise to buy real estate now. Real estate today in Flagstaff is cheaper than in any other city in the United States of the same size and importance. The wisdom of buying real estate while it is cheap is obvious. John Jacob Astor said: Buy at the fringe and wait" By following this principle, he and his children came to be among the richest people of the earth.
 It is a sound business principle to make your investments where they may be watched. Any investment in your own state, in your own city, is more satisfactory than one in a dis tant state or foreign land. If this principle were adhered to strictly "get rich quick" concerns could not
