FINGER NaiI,s History

The rapidity Of the growth Of the
nails IS indicative of the health. The
growth of the nails on the right hand
Is in most people more rapid than of
those on the left hand. Another curl.
Gus point is, that the rate of growth
Of the nail depends directly on the
length Of the flngerl Thus the nails
on the two middle fingers of men
grow more rapidly than those on the
urst and third fingers, respectively,
and these In turn are more speedy In
their growth than those on the little
fingers.

CALIFORNIA BARS JAP CORPORATION PENDING DECISION
State Government Refuses to Recognize Army Service as
 Title to Naturalization.

SACRAMENTO Cal, Jan. 10.-The lower house of the California State Legislature today unanimously ai- opted a resolution, previously passed by the Senate, requesting the Fed eral Government to make no treaty with Japan granting citizenship rights to Japanese residents of the United States or nullifying provisions of California's anti-Japanese land ownership law
 Secretary of State Frank c. Jordan has refused to honor the first set of papers of a Japanese land corpo- ration submitted to his office TOT filing since the amendment to the anti-Japanese land act, adopted at the November ? election, became effec- tive.
 While the four Japanese directors of the corporation. which is named the Valley Industrial Corporation and located in Fresno, claim to be natur- alized American citizens by virtue of their service in the American army during the war, Jordan determined to hold up the articles of incorpora- tion until the question of naturaliza- tion of Japanese is decided in the courts.
 Jordan declared that the decision in the case of IchiZo Sato. a Japanese naturalized in Hawaii for service in tho army, who was denied the rlght to register in Sacramento County and now pending in the United States District Court of Appeals will be awaited before final action is taken in the case of the Fresno corporation.
 Recently Gov. William D. Stephens refused to issue notary public com mission to Satoru Bando on the advice of Atty. Gen. U. s. Webb. Webb advied the Governor to hold up Bando's application for a notary commission until the question or granting naturalization to Japanese who served with the American army during the war, is determined by the higher courts. While Congress al thorized the naturalization of aliens who were in the U. s. Army in the war, there is grave doubt whether Congress meant the law to apply to aliens ineligible to citizenship, as are the Japanese, the state officers hold.
 Jordan announced that he will en- force to the letter the provisions ot the amendment to the anti-alien land act prohibiting aliens ineligible to citizenship from forming or owning in agricultural land corporations. He declared he will refuse to file the articles of any land corporation of which alien Japanese are known to be members.
