900 Japanese In the United States In

McClatchy said that from his orig

were 10000 Japanese in tho state,
out OF "A population OF 100000.
The census returns. he said. would
not indicate this. as the Japanese
had been notorious in avoiding the
census.
The Japanese birth rate is very

Sacramento is approximately 46.44

Well. sometimes II looks like our
present system couldn't be con
Quoted. either. Maybe II would be
easier and safer TO simplify our
system bit II we gained satisfac-
tion-honest dealing.
No man can say that the basic
principle Of barter y-Iay not be ap-
piled TO great ma .ons because II
has never been t9.ed. I suspect
that those businesses that exist By
money manipulation and those in
terests that profit thru central

Il Impossible 10 exist under the
barter system. There are biz.
prosperous neighborhoods that live
for weeks at a time without ever
having 20 cash check or break

prosperous country stores that sell
thousands Of dollars in goods with
out receiving 800 in cash from the
farmers, who come bringing their
dressed veal and mutton, lambs
and hogs, and their butter and
eggs. and potatoes and fruit.
Ony the rural store takes ad-
vantage Of this system. IL gives
trade for the farmers produce.
buys under the market, and makes
a double profit. some 30 per cent
on the sale OF the goods. and 10 TO
20 per cent more on the farmers

crime, and II exists because tho
money value is injected into the
nrogram. But once fix the relative
values OF labor and commodltioos.

neither hard times nor good would
ever affect prices. Indeed. there
could be no hard times.

JAPS IN AMERICA
LOYAL. TO MlkADO

Charges that the Japanese gov.
ernment would not allow Japanese
TO become citizens OF the United
States even II they were born here
were made by V. q. Mcclatohy. who
resumed the witness stand at the
hearing OF the congressional commit
tee on tho Japanese situation In the
capitol today.
McCla;chy said that tho Japanese
rovernncnt's iaw providing for the
voluntary expatrlation of japanese
was practically fraud.
The law only allows Japanese be
tween the ages of IS and II to make
application for espatriation and
there IN no assurance in the law that
Japanese officials would grant the
request even when the application Is
made.
IAN the Japanese he said. there
fore have the privileges of the citi-
zens Of thes United States but none
of the obligations of an American.
international law authorities state
that Japanese In this country. even
tho they are born here. are subject
to call In case of war in Japan"

Service Important
Says Motors Official

Service is the vital element of a bust
ness that is conducted on n sound basis,
says Charles b. Eoorhis, vice president
and general sales manager of the Nash
Motors company. Nothing else, in fact.
matters quite SO much in any business
that is conducted with view to perma-
nency.
"While this is true In the merchandis
ing of any commodity, it is particularly
applicable to the motor truck business.
After a man has bought a truck for his
needs he is interested only in having
that truck do the work which he was led
by the dealer to believe it will do.
Thus, when a good truck has back of
il an organization that thoroughly un-
derstands and realizes the Importance Of
service. an organization adequately
equipped to take care of its product un-
der all reasonable conditions. the owner
receives service in full measure. And IN

vice.
"In the past few years. the truck has
acquired a definite and important posi-
ton in the transportation field it has
kept pace with the demands of industry
and has contributed materially TO the
development of the country.
Manufacturers and merchants, large
and small, as we'll as farmers and men
identified with practically all forms of
industry are fully awake to the practica-
bility of the motor truck as it relates to
their individual problems of transporta-
ton. But they also are as fully awake
to the importance of the element of SER

LITTLE HEAP
A New Figure in the Advertising
World

Little Heap, Savage" chief, is
today making his bow to the west
ern world, as the central figure in
the first of series of big display
advertisements of the Spreckels
Savage Tire Company, of San
Diego, pioneer rubber factory of the
coast. Little Heap, by birth
Savage" and by adoption MEM
Der Of the house of Spreckels, will
soon be a familiar figure to every
motorist.
Beloved in his own wigwam, he is
the mascot of the big factory and
all its extensive works. He will
rapidly win his way also into the
affections of the great motoring
public, according to the predictions
of his sponsors. Today his smile is
reflected from the pages of most OF
the prominent newspapers through
out the west. This is the introduc-
ton of the largest western advertis-
ing campaign ever launched by
western company, and is being
placed by the Western Advertising
company, of San Diego.
Following the introduction of Lit
tie Heap, and his wonderful vacation
tour through the Yosemite in two
strikingIy illustrated displays, will
come his series of IL illustrated
talks. He is qualified to speak on
his favorite topic since he is wise
for hi. years, a veritable Indian in
fant prodigy. He is educated in
modern ways and imbued with the
spirit of the company he represents:
The sterling and sturdy qualities of
his race, inherited from his famous
ancestor, Heap Big Injun Chief, it is
claimed he shares with the products
Of the pioneer industry he character
izes. And all that he knows Of these
most modern OF products, his ex-
pert knowledge of tires and tubes,
tough treads and trying tests, the
good little Indian will tell in a pic
ture language far surprising that of
his ancient people.

SPRING STYLESFOR MOTORISTS \
EMPHASIZE BLUES ANDBROWNS

The spring lays spell of happiness
upon the world, and perhaps upon the
motor world in particular. When the air
is a golden haze and the sky joyous
blue. the call of the country is tempting.
Motor clothes occupy no small place in
miladys wardrobe and the smart shops
are full of tempting raiment.,
The cape is to be one of the most fa-
yored of all garments for motor wear
this spring. The newest and smartesst
models are made afer the stunning itai-
ian army capes in that delicious biue
cloth worn by the captain of the Art
gieria," with its gilt clasps of lions heads
and silver stars on the collar. The DARK
blue cloth capes, lined with vivid red
silk, like those worn by the infantry,
are extremely smart, and the lighter
blue ones, like those worn by the ar
tillery and cavalry, are vastly becoming
to the majority of women. Of course,
one could not wear the stars Of an off,
Ger in Italy, but they may, be worn IN
this country, although, frankly speaking,
they are not de rigeur.
A handsome motor coat is OF that
shade of blue worn by French cavalry
officers and is built with narrow shoul-
ders, a collar that buttons snugly around
the throat and a smart buckled belt.
Another smart coat for motoring turned
out by this same designer is of brown
cloth with blind checks of tan running
through it. 1t is raglan style. with plen-
ty of fullness in the skirt, and a smart
belt drawn through a buckle i'll army
style Still another is tangerine cloth,
with lining of amethyst silk--a most
harmonious combination. Some very
original and distinctive motor wraps are
being made of old Paisley and Alsatian
shawls, and are ultra smart for these
shawls are now rather rare. They are
