ARM Y TANKS BUILT ON
SKID CHAIN PRINCIPLE L

The marvellous success of the cater
pillar type Of tractor as used in the various
kinds Of tanks" employed during the
Great War, was accomplished by nothing
more than development of the familiar
skid chain principle.
For many years expert engineers and
inventors had struggled with the difficult
mechanical problem of constructing a
commercial vehicle that would lay its
own track. and thus enable it TO secure
traction Oh soft ground. or other yielding
and slippery surfaces. But their efforts
were unsuccessful until the endless belt
principle, such as is used in tire chains.
was adopted Thereafter the develop
ment of the present day "tank" and other
caterpillar tractors was rapid all of which
goes to prove that the skid-chain basic
principle is the best giver of traction now
known to the automobile world
When you put skid chains on your bare
tires you are giving them the benefit Of
this endless chain tractor principle, which
was borrowed from them for use in
tanks" and you should invariably EN-
ploy them whenever the going is the least
bit uncertain from rain or other natural
causes. Skid-chains lay their own track Of
safety from the dangerous skid, as well as
give tenacious grip that effectually pre-
vents the useless spinning Of wheels and
consequent wastage of power, To say
nothing of the great saving in tire wear
caused by this slippage.
Remove the endless belt from the
irresistible tank" and all its traction is
gone; the powerful motors will be useless
on account Of the absence of the method
by which their power is transmitted into
forward motion. And so it is with the
motor car using bare tires in slippery
paving. The gripping contact of lend
less" skid-chains must be employed to
furnish the rear wheels with traction or
even this extra power will be wasted in
useless and expensive motion that gets the
vehicle nowhere.

HAWAIIAN JAPS'
 REPATRIATION
 REQUEST GRANTED

Honolulu T. H., Oct. 28.-Four Jap anese in Hawaii have just been grant ed their request for repatriation from Japanese citizenship by Minister of Home Affairs Tokonamo. 1t was an- nounced today by c. Yala, Japanese consul general here, who conducted the negotiations resulting in the expa- triation.
 The four. born here, now owe al legiance only to the United States and not also to Japan, as formerly, Con sul General Yada explained. He also detailed the conflict between the laws of Japan and the United States re- garding nationality by birth. The United States claims as citizens chill dren born on it's territ ory, while Ja- pan claims all children born of Jap anese citizens, resulting in "dual cit izenship" for children born of Japan ese parents in the United States. To remove this condition it is necessary for Japanese children born in the United States to apply to Tokto for ex- patriation.
 At least 100 of these applications have been granted in the past year, Consul General Yada said. No re- quest has been refused by the Japan ese government except on ground of faulty application or other error in forma1ity, he said.

JUDGES BLACK GOWNS COME
 FROM ENGLAND
Robes a Survival of the English Practice Which Dates Back to the Middle Ages.

Like many other customs connect ed with the law, the wearing of a black gown by the presiding magis- trates of the higher courts is a sur vival of the English practice, which in itself dates back to the Middle Ages.
 During this period the practice of law was confined principally to the clergy, who were almost the only learned men in the Kingdom and who, If course, wore their character istic dress even when they were ar guing cases growing out of the trou- bles of civil life.
 When laymen commenced to act as lawyers they, too, adopted a gown similar to that of the clergy, and as a compromise between the hood of the monks robe and the consure or shaved spot on the top of the head. they wore a "coif''-a species If nightcap, originally of linen but later fashioned of silk.
 When the custom of wearing wigs came into vogue, during the Seven teenth Century, this coif gave way to an elaborate wig, which, with only a slight modifica ton in shape and size, may be seen today in many of the British courts.
 In America, however. the custom of wearing wigs in court was of short duration, though the long flowing gown is still 0 part of the formal at tire of all the judges of Supreme courts, and even those of a number of lesser tribunals.

PUNISH WIFE DESERTERS
 BY WHIPPING

Los Angeles, Oct. 2S-Mrs Minnie Barton, probation officer of this city, suggests an effective remedy for wife deSerterS.
 It is revival of the whipping post
 'I know there are many who regard whipping post as a barbarous pun fshment but at the same time it must be remembered it has produced amaz- ing results in Delaware" said Mrs. Barton. Statistics show there has been only one wife deserter in the lit tie Eastern State in a decade"
 The probation officer pointed out that wife desertion has become a very common crime in Southern California in the last two years. She asserted that other evils are also the result of this offense and declaredgnothing will check it except drastic legislation.

SIMPLICITY AND
 MODESTY MOST
 STRIKING TRAITS

Tokio. Oct. 2s-(By MaiD-Simpli- city and modesty the striking traits of Admiral Tomosaburo Kato, Minister of Marine, who as Japanese delegate to the Washington Confer =nce. will fill a most important role sn the deliberations there. It was Kato's statement to The Associated Press last year which first let the world know that Japan was ready seriously to discuss the armament linn itation. As evidence of sincerity he announced that his country would not necessarily insist upon the completion of the <much talked of S-8 program, that is to say, the maintenance of eight dreadnaughts and eight battle cruisers.
 Japan's naval minister is not only a man of proven sea calibre but he is statesman of achievement A con servative Japanese newspaper said that he could handle all the problems that may conceivably be brought up at the conference with as much intel Hgence and skill as anybody else. But his strongest recommendation is that of being man of decision who will not hesitate to assume necessary re- responsibilities at important moments without reference to the home govern ment
 Kato is really the builder of Japan's modern navy. He has in fact been the head of Japan's marine since Au- gust, 1915, collapse of ministries hay ing left Kato unaffected because his capacity was held to be above all con alterations of politics. He was born on Feb. 22, 1859 in Hiroshima and af- ter passing through different grades Of the service he took an eminent part in the Russo-Japanese war, being the right hand officer of the fam ous Admiral Togo. He was appointed Vice-Admiral in 1908 and became minister of navy under the Okuma Cabinet
 Admiral Kato's long service as min- lster makes him the senior member of the cabinet, next to the premier. A prominent Japanese said of him: "Ad- miral kato has 9, clear head, is mathe- maticaI and well versed on interna- tional issues upon which he possesses his own original ideas"
 kato's namesake, Admiral Sadakichi kato paid a great tribute to the dele gates intellectual penetration, re- sourcefulness and rapidity of decision.
 Had he been a statesman, pure and simple" said the admiral, "Kato would have been a great statesman" He is a wide reader and his library includes many books on a, variety of subjects in the English language in which he is proficient both as to read ing and to speaking.

 SOLDIER BASEBALL STAR

Honolulu, T. H., Oct. 2S-Hawaii has "discovered' a soldier ball player who looks to be a world beater. He is Sergeant Emmet Ballou, of the Eighth Field Artillery, stationed at Schofield Barracks. In a recent con test Ballou held his opponents hit less and runlesS for nine innings, al- lowing only one man to reach first and striking out 12. His pitching average for the season is 1000. He completed the 1920 season with a clean record of wins and topped it off by winning four games in eight days during the final series.
