SOME OF AMERICANS
 SUPPORT MONARCHIES
They, However, Want Job AS

HONOLULU, T. H, March 24.-The United States harbors large num- Der of citizens who would be kings. according to letters applying for royal jobs which have found their way to Governor Wallace R. Earring ton. They come as a result of an ap- parently widespread misconception of the South seas.
 The applicants got busy after read ing a mainland newspaper article headed Rulers Wanted for Islands in South Seas" and the erroneous in- formation that details might be ob- tained from the American consul at Honolulu" The deluge of letters that followed found their way, in the ab- sence of an American consul at Honolulu. to the American governor of the American Territory of Hawaii.
 The newspaper article was part of series entitled Life as It Really Is in the South Seas" The first article. according to information here, began with the question: How would you like to be the ruler of South sea island?" Apparently the number of American citizens who crave to don royal paraphernalia in some far-off palm lined, tropic island is legion. The applicants included insurance statesmen, farmers. university stu dents, oil men, cowboys. clerks and bankers. The position of king was described as not arduous. hours not long. and with continued series of tall glasses of amber rum punch"

GERMANY IS ASSUMING HER ORIENTAL TRADE
Regaining Far East Commerce De-
 spite Loss Of Its Islands

BERLIN, March 24. - Germany is rapidly r.suming It's trade in the Far East, in spite of the fact that it's is lands in the Pacihic were taken away by the Versailles treaty. and business was interrupted for years by war conditions and the deportation and internment of it's business men.
 For the first nin,e months of 1922, Germany sold Japan goods valued at Ss.500. 900 yen. In 1913, German eN- ports to Japan for the entire S2 months aggregated only 6S,0OO.O00 yen. The yen is worth about 90 cents.
 In 1921. Germany spld China goods valued at 2o.ooo,o0o taels. An in crease, is anticipated in the figures for 1922 which German exporters be- licve will make the wears business greater than that of 1913, which was 2s,300,000 taels. The tael is worth about $1.40.
 Before the war Germany had be- tween four and five thousand citizens in China engaged in various commer- cial pursuits. It is estimated now ;. that two-thirds of these are again in : China, endeavoring to re-establish s& heir business connections. German -c>,nsuls have been back in all the 'xpr incipal business centers of China 1sNr some time, including the Tsingtau co ucession which Japan wrested from Cc vmany at the beginning of the gre Nt war, and which has recently heen> evacuated by the Japanese and furne d back to China.

NEW TIRE FACTORY EQUIPMENT BEING. N q AL LE ] NOW
Murray Tire Company Put ting in Machinery in North
 Birmingham Plant

Rapid progress is being made by the Murray Tire company in the in stallation of machinery in the new automobile tire factory to be put in operation by that concern. w. F.. Tidyman, who is to be production manager for the new factory, is here in charge of operation and the in stallation of machinery. A number of machines and a great deal of equip ment have already arrived and are being arranged in the building to be occupied by the ractory. The build ing is situated in North Birmingham. being on Twenty-sixth street and Twentysixth avenue, north. It is expected that this new industry will be in production in short time and will begin turning out tires. Mir. Tidyman says that while he does not expect to produce enough tires to cause any of the big fellows to close up, he does expect to produce quite a quantity of good reliable tires when he gets started.
 The Murray brothers, Carl. Robert and Lynne, are being congratulated upon their progressiveness in giving to Birmingham its first automobile tire factory.

JAPAN NOT TO CHANGEI
 PRESENT LAND LAWS|
Suggested Purchase Of Perpetual Leases Does Not Meet Approval

TOXIC, March 24.-There is no im- mediate prospect of the government liberalizing the Japanese land laws. and the suggested purchase of the perpetual leases held by foreigners in Yokohoma does not figure in the government program.
 The matter of further liberalizing the land laws of Japan frequently comes up for discussion among for eign office officials" said Mir. Nagai, head of the commercial department of the foreign office, "and there is a desire in the foreign office to sec the existing act further enlarged and promulgated. but many other depart ments of the government are inter- ested, and the complexities of the question continue to delay 1t.
 "As for the purchase of the per- petual leaseholds, the same policy as Is now in force will be continued, namely, the buying of these lease- holds as they come upon the market.
 Tt may be that the business de- pression will offer good chance to secure more of these leaseholds, and perhaps that is the reason some peo- pie appear to believe the government Is going to make some special effort in the matter. There is, of course, no idea of attempting the condemna- tion of the leaseholds.

SIBERIA IS AIDING IN SOVIET MONOPOLY
Former High Official Sent To Serve
 at VladivostOk

VIAD1VOSTOK, March 24.-Mr. l.. Sorebrakoff, former assistant minister of communications, has been sent here as the representative of the department of labor and defense. This Is the highest department of the state and comprises the most highly placed communists.
 On January 80. the customs house vas closed for all commercial op- erations. and no goods can be i'm ported until it has been proved that they are not in the category of those whose importan has been for bidden by order of the Soviet gov ernment.
 The opinion was expressed at q meeting of the Far Eastern board of communications that the monop- oly of foreign trade by the govern ment as a political weapon against the capitalistic countries would not give the same result in the Far East as it would on the West front. owing to the fact that the one na- tion whose frontiers march with those of Russia is China, and the political opinion of China is dictated by the Western World"

STELLAR CAST ENACTS
~BAVUc MYSTERY FILM

There are many film fans VIII
would rather have thrills in theil
screen entertainment than any othel
quality And it certainly is true thai
thrills take the ,monotony out of life
I either, because they involve risi
| in ninety-nine out of a hundred
cases.
There have not been so many mo-
ton pictures that were really thrill
| ling. There must be great deal OF
mystery and suspense to create a
genuine thrill.
i Bayu," Universal picture
which will be shown at the Liberty
theatre beginning Saturday is said
to be the most thrilling mysterious
picture of recent years. It's atmos-
phere is foreign and its people
strange. The famous players in the
cast include Wallace Berry, Estelle
Taylor, Sylvia Dreamer, Forrest Stan
ley, Martha Mattox, Nickolai de Ruiz,
Josef Swickard, Jack Rollens,. and
Harry Carter. Stuart Patton directed
the filming.
:. Bavu tells the story Of two men,
one refined, educated and straight
forward, the other a brute, a peasant
with no education nor heart, both
fighting over the same woman, an
aristocratic princess of high strung
nature The action takes place dur
ing time Of human upheavel, when
human nature is not reliable and a
woman knows not to which man she
may safely turn for protection.
One of the most interesting scenes
is marriage ceremony which takes
place in the weird attic Of the pea
SAINT ,Bavu. Under the first revolu-
tionary regime in Russia, no priests
nor witnesses were necessary to a
ceremony. The mere sign
ing Of the names of the man and wo-
man sufficed.
The wedding scene where the UNI
tutored animal like peasant, Bayu,
leader of the red revolutionists, stands
ready to marry beautiful and Gull
tured princess is a situation yividly

THE RADIUS IDEA.

Visualize. if you can, Pleasantville's
legitimate trade territory, a vast and
rich and prosperous section, which II
properly cultivated and developed
would make Pleasantyille a city Of
$4,000 population or more in a few
years.
There's no reason why P%leasantyille
should not be the trade centre for this
territory. Long rows OF automobiles
drawn up along the sidewalks sug-
gests a live community trade centre.
That's what We want to see in Pleas
antville.
There is a large population through
the country districts and surrounding
municipalities who make a practice OF
driving to some trading centre and
buying large quantities of merchan-
disc. There's a certain amount of
money in this community going to be
spent each year. We are entitled to
have it spent here in Pleasantville.
1t is interesting to note that cities
and towns throughout America are
taking up and pushing the radius idea.
TupeIo and Greenville, Miss, have
adopted it. indianapolis, Ind. has the
Indianapolis Radius. The St. Louis,
No, Chamber OF Commerce is now
working out a trade radius scheme
which will reach out for 400 miles in
every direction.
It is good to tie Pleasantville on to
a definite territory. a section and an
area which it can claim as its own
and with which it can cooperate in a
definite, active and helpful way in the
march Of progress.
We ought 10 get together, decide
upon our legitimate trade territory,
get out a Radius map showing this
territory. Every merchant and every
business firm in Pleasantville ought
to have one of these Radius maps on
the wall. It should be the constant
ambition Of every firm in Pleasantville
10 develop the trade Of the radius ter
ritory, to expand the trade radius of
P%leasantville to the outer circles of
the radius.
It can be done, but it will require
concerted effort and cooperation.
