Superintendent Avery visited the
dam above town Wednesday on trip
of inspection and found a good head
of water. On July Is Of last year the
lake was empty, and it was found
hard to keep Weston supplied with
water with the aid of the auxiliary
pump. Through the recent pipe re-
placements all known leakages have
been stopped and it far easier to keep
the pipes and reservoirs full. Should
there be a little rainfall in Septcm-
Der, Mr.. Avery believes that Weston
will get through this year without
pumping. To accomplish this, Of
course, the cooperation of consumers
is necessary, as waste would entail
too much strain on the water system.

Judging from reports from drucri,

An examining physician for one of /,
prominent Life Insurance Companies,
an interview on the subject, made the
tonishlng statement that one reason vi
SO many applicants for insurance are

Western Nsasr,psr Union News Service.
Washington. Dec 2I-The ncgotia-
tions between Roland s. Morris, Amer
lean ambassador to Japan, and Baron
Shidchara japanese ambassador to the
United States, are nearing completion
and II their report is accepted by the
State Department and the japanese
foreign office, as ii is expected To be,
it will be sent to the public printer and
submitted TO the Senate for It's consid-
Grafton with the amendment TO the cX-
listing commercial treaty with Japan
which il recommends.
The treaty amendment comprises
one clause which would guarantee to
japanese subjects in the United States
equal civil rights with the nationals
of all other countries.
The necessary curollary Is n new
gcntleman's agreement which would
exclude absolutely the emigration of
japanese labor to the United States
Philippine islands.
Japan does not ask the right of nat
urulization for It's subjects 1t is
pointed ont by persons acquainted
with the nrgitiation that Japan could
not properly request the alienation of
her own subjects.
The report is voluminous. covering
japanese American relations for Il
period of twenty-eight years, and is
an earnest effort to discover and solve
the problems which in more recent
years have tended to create breach
of understanding between the two
countries.
If the proposed new clause is added
to the existing treaty. the California
alien land ownership laws would be
viiiat"d insofar as they concerned Jap
ancs" subjects, but that state would
not be prevented. by new legislation,
from excluding all Orientals from land
ownership if II should follow the eX
ample set by British colonial lcgisln-
tion. Such legislation prohibits all
aliens from owning land, avoiding
thereby discrimination against any
particular aliens.
The existing gentIemcn's agreement
never has been reduced to writing and
consists. i'll addition to the original
agreement, of n series of interpreta-
tions and amendments. The proposed
agreement would nuIlify provisions in
the existing agreement permitting Jap
nneSc immigrants already admitted to
bring their wives and members Of
their families into the country, and es-
tablish absolutely prohibition of Jap
ancsc immigration. Scholars, students,
travellers, merchants. etc, would not be
prevented from entering the United
States.

COMPENSATION EXPLAINED

There is a general misunderstood
ing in regard to the difference be.
tween compensation and war risk in
surance This difference is clearly
defined below
Insurance is bought and paid for
by the service man, and is in effect
as the result Of his making applica-
ton for it and paying the premiums
promptly when due. 1t is payable
only in the event of death or the
total permanent disability of the ser.
vice man, however or whereas
caused either prior to or after dis
charge. War Risk Insurance has
nothing to do with compensation, and
all its benefits are distinct from and
in addition to benefits paid for com.
pensation.
Compensation is given by the gov
eminent of the United States without
charge to service man, and is given
regardless of whether war risk in
surance is carried by him or not. All
benefits derived from compensation
are in addition to any which may be
