with family trees and yet they're for
ever talking about them. I've heard
so many people say of someone,
'Oh. he has no family tree
"And then someone else Will say.
'Ah, but see what a family tree she
has,
"At first thought they must mean
a favorite tree In their garden or near

II thought they took a pride and a

favorite tree had stood to be JOY

they didn't mean our kinds of trees
at all and that is why I'm SO puz-
zled.
1--WE found out that they mean that
they have trees. family trees, not a
bit like ours. I've gathered that from
the way I've heard them talk.
"And I can't tell you how puzzled
I am. / know that people have no

In very puzzled voice.

"You see family is like big tree.
There is the root of 1t all-the first
family from which all the different
relatives or branches are related. You
see they speak of the different rela-

An audience beyond the seating ca- pacity of Barber's hall at Warrenville enjoyed the October meeting of the Ash ford Welfare association Saturday even ing last. The intellectual feast was pro- vided by members of the Eastford Com munity club, who came over in five auto loads. J.

STATEMENT REGARDING
 DISCUSSION WITH JAPAN

Washington, Nov. 1.-(By The A P.) The American government made public today its first statement regarding the discussions with the Japanese ambassa- dor concerning the proposed anti-alien land law to be voted upon tomorrow in California It said that it was believed the Japanese ambassador realized that no outcome of the California movement would be acceptable to the country at large that did not accord with "existing and applicable provisions of law" and with "the national instinct of justice"
 The statement was prepared by Acting Secretary Davis of the state department who declared that it was fin reply to in- quiries" and that the fact that it was issued on the eve of the California cleo tions was without political significance It was understood that the principal ob- ject was to assure the Japanese people that their legitimate interests would be safeguarded.
 MT. Davis described the discussion: with the Japanese ambassador as being
 "of the most friendly and candid nature'
 and also said that the relation of certain 1 treaty provisions to the proposed Cali fornia measure would doubtless prove
 an element in the states decision"
