SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE QUESTION OF
 JAP CITIZENSHIP

Honolulu, T. H., Aug. 12.-The Uni ted States Supreme Court will be called upon next October, probably for the first time in history, to decide the color of a man in the appeal of Takao Ozawa, Honolulu, Japanese who is attempting to gain American citizenship by naturalization, accord ing to advices reaching here. Upon the outcome of the test case rests the disposition of several other similar suits in which Japanese have attempt ed to become naturalized.
 Ozawa contends that he is entitled has sought to mold his life along strictly American lines in accordance with the best American customs and ideals, and on the further ground that izenshfp under the law which provides that only a free white persons or per son of African descent of nativity may be naturalized.
 Ozawas efforts to obtain citizenship began here several years ago. The United States District Court for Ha- waii denied his contention and this de- cision was upheld by the Federal Cir cult Court of the Ninth district in Cal ifornfa. From this decision he ap- pealed to the Supreme Court.
 Ozawa contended that originally Japanese were of the white race. He traced the history Of Japan several thousands of years to the Ainu tribe general of the United States State De- partment had expressed the opinion that that particular branch of the Japanese race has characteristics of the Caucasian.
 Ozawa came to Hawaii when a young man and was educated in the American schools here. In one of the briefs submitted here Ozawa said that he had taken special pains to educate his children in American public schools in order that they might be- come loyal American citizens, citizen ship having been acquired by them through their birth on American soil. He said his children had not been taught the Japanese language and that nothing pertaining to Japan of the Japanese had been allowed to creep into their daily lives, education or their religiOn.''

Imitation Brick May Do Serious
 Harm To Lives

Weak and dangerous buildings menace to human 1ife-may result from the use of some of the substi- ute brick now finding its way into the market as a consequence of the present phenomenal demand for all kinds of building material, accord ing to the findings of Professor R. H. Danforth, of Case School of Applief Science, Cleveland who recently maf some tests in the laboratories Of ta 41t school.
 In contrast to standard brick, which according to 22 dictionary definitions clay, imitation brick made even of sawdust or cinders, bound together with various types of cementing sub stan0s, are now appearing. These limitations have the same size and form as real brick, but there the re- semblance ends. Especially in local- ities where the building commissioner is primarily a, volitical appointee and not a trained engineer, these brick might be accepted, to the great dan ger of the community, for no death is more horrible than to be caught in collapsing building.
 Professor Danforth recently tested some "brick'' made of cinders and lime and these are some of the things he found-that average pressure of only 6s2 pounds was necessary to break one in half when supported at the ends. a real brick requiring an average pressure Of 2,252 pounds to break it. The imitation brick also that they absorbed over 2s per cent, and two specimens out of six swelled and bu1ged and developed cracks dur ing imm erSiOn.

BRIDGEPORT LEADS IN ACCIDENTS IN
 STATE, WITH 1884

Eighty-nine persons lost their lives in Connecticut motor vehicle acc1- dents in the seven months up to Aug. 1. it was shown by a statement motor vehicles. This is 25 less than the number who met death in such accidents during the corresponding period of last year. Considering the registered this year, the figures for this year represent a decrease in pro- portion to the total registration of nearly 30 per cent. in automobile fa- tal:ties.
 Twenty-two people died as a result of motor vehicle accidents of the past month, as compared to 26 such deaths in July, 1921. New Haven held the record for the month. with four auto mobile fatalities. and New Britain and Norwalk came second, with two each. The rest were scattered, being reported from all sections or the state. Twelve were due to the care- lessness of a pedestrian, according to coroner's findings. three to careless operation of a motor vehicle. two to speeding, two to sheer reckless driv- ing, one to inexperienced driving (W1thout an operators icense), one to obscured vision of a motorist on highway, and one to glaring head lights.
 The reduction in fatalities involv- ing motor vehicles, in the face of a great increase in the number of cars on the public highways, is attributed, by the motor vehicle department. to the effect of the progressive safety campaign being conducted through out the greater part of Connecticut
 During the month of July l, a41 general accidents were reported in- vo1ving motor vehicles. or nearly one for every 1000 cars registered in the state. of these 639 occurred in seven cities. Bridgeport led with 164, fol- lowed by New Haven with 15S, Hart ford with 155, New Britain with 53, Waterbury with 48, New London with 41, and Meriden with 20

DESIRING ACCURACY IN NEWSPAPERS, HE SENDS
 THEM HIS OBITUARY

Paris, Aug 14-Correctness was life passion with Dr. Jacques Der tillon, for 30 years director of the Statistical Bureau of the city of Paris and the uncle of the founder of the BertiHon system, who died four years ago.
 Especially was he insistent that facts about him or quotations from him published in newspapers should be absolutely precise. He was the more severe on this subject in that he was a former Parisian newspaper man.
 Editorial desks of local dailies were astonished to receive from Der tilIon recently his own obituary together with note in his handwrit- ing: "When you receive this l shall no longer exist"
 Wonderingly several editors teie- phoned his home.
