TOXIC, Dec. 7.-Lengthy comment on the recent decision of the United States supreme court sustaining the alien land laws of California and Washington is contained in some of the leading Japanese newspapers.
 Regret is expressed at what the Chugai Sogyo terms evidences of ra- cial discrimination which is inconsis- tent with the attitude of justice and humanity expressed by the American government and people"
 The Hochi in a similar vein states, If the agltators final object is not to drive out all Japanese from Ameri- ca, the anti-alien land laws should be modihed'
 The Kokumin advises the govern ment to redOuble it's efforts to settle the immigration question because, the newspaper asserts, Japanese friend ship for the United States can never be firmly cemented until the spirit of discrimination has been eliminated"

I have often thought that there should be an open season in which we should be permitted to go out and slay the most offensive bores four acquaintance, but, un- fortunately, the law does not see eye to eye with me in this matter. Certainly, among the great afflic- tions of life is the woman who, hav- ing no resources within herself, must graft her entertainment off others;
 the woman who is a professional yisi-
 tor, the woman who Is a human in-
 terroagtion mark, the woman who
 tags you, the woman who is perpet- ual-motion conversationalist-a against her we are utterly helpless.
 She is too conceited to realize that
 she is not wanted. too thick-skinned
 to take 8 hint and she even forgives
 you when you insult her and bobs up
 serenely in the same place the next day

 DOROTHY DIX. Dear Miss Dix: have been mar ried seven years and have been very happy until about two years ago, when my wife began to grow irrita- ble and nervous, and several times has told me that she hated me, and called me stingy and selfish. This surprised me because she had never
 treated me like that before. but was
 cheerful and happy and was always
 at home. Now she is away great deal and says she is tired of the house and of having nothing to do. take her to the movies once a week and
 for a ride when I mnot working. and still she is not satisfied as she used to be. She has been very moody lately and hardly talks to me or mo-
 tices me at all. What shall I do? GOOD HUSBAND. Answer: Take your wife to a good doctor and have her thoroughly ex- amined. The chances are that she is
 out of health and that her moodiness and irritability and depression are the result of nervousness and that
 she needs some medical treatment. Then send her off somewhere on little trip A week at the seashore or
 in some big city would save more do- mestic unhappiness and prevent more divorces than any other one remedy on earth.
 And, for goodness sake, Good Illus band. have enough sense to let your wife go alone. Every woman gets fed up on a husband just as much and more-than he does on her, and she wants to get away from him and forget him just as much as she does her house and the everlasting three meals day. Give your wife a little change and she will come back bright and cheerful and in love with you again.

THE AMERICAN GIRL

Sophie Kerr, brilliant novelist and short story writer. has drawn two charming yet authentic full-length portraits of American girls of yester- day in her last two novels, "One Thing Is Certain" and Painted Meadows" In her magazine tales she has sketched with a quick. clever hand the girl of today--you or your sweet heart or your pretty, lively neighbor. So we asked her to write an analysis of the American girl for The Woman Of It, which has already published in- terpretations of our girlhood from the pens of those gifted writers and sympathetic women, Phyllis Bottome and Bethel M.

Dear Dorothy Dix-How much should parents expect of a selfish daughter? My daughter Is 24 years of age, college graduate, and is em- ployed at salary of $150 6 month. She insists that it is the duty of her parents to provide her with a home, toward which she should not be ex- pected to contributed either money or labor, and she reluctantly and be- grudgingly hands her mother $5 week, for which she demands that her mother provide the best of every thing for the table, do the laundry work, take care of her room and play the role of servant and maid gener- ally. Do you think 8 daughter who has reached mature age and Is self supporting has a moral or legal claim on her parents to provide her to pay a reasonable amount toward the expenses of such 8 home?
 READER. a
 Answer: Certainly, parents are under no obligation whatever to sup port grown daughter who Is per fectly able to take care of herself. Evidently you have done your part by educating her and providing her with a profession by which she can make her own living, and that is all that she has a right to expect of you. It is now up to her to stand on her own feet and, if she lives at home, to pay her fair share of the upkeep of it. She has no right to expect you to go on working to support her.
 Just as there are selfish and greedy parents who are willing to enslave their children and live on the work of little hands, so there are grasping and grating children who try to get everything possible out of their
 aa1Ey cases is to refuse to be held up ana robbed.
 The instince of parents is to give. It is hard for them to trust their young out of the home nest and make them depend on themselves, but that is the best for all concerned. It only cultivates selfishness and weakness for fathers and mothers to keep on feeding and clothing their children after they go to work, and thus ieaV- ing the children the money they earn to spend on extravagances. It IS the knowledge that they can always go back home that makes many young sters give up a job whenever the sledding becomes hard. just ss the knowledge that he has no place to go to makes the poor boy shut his teeth and fight his way to success be- cause he has got no one to depend on but himself.
 After children are old enough to work, their fathers and mothers should not have to support them They should save up whatever money they make for their old age so that they may not be dependent. For the children who are willing to take every cent they can get from InciI parents are not going to be wiling to support the helpless old people whose all they have taken.

Just because a girls cheeks and lips happen to be light, or her eyebrows and lashes don't stand out" is not all ways sign that she is sick, as so many people think. It is caused by the pigment of the skin tissue being too light.
 Years ago it was considered vulgar for girl to use anything to make herself attractive like she would be if she were normal. But nowadays she doesn't have to deny herself the satisfaction of being attractive, or be subject to ridicule if she adds the touches which make an otherwise life less face "stand out"
 Only one thing to be careful of. Be sure of the quality of the rouge, lip sticks and eyebrow and eyelash pen cils you use.
