JAPANESE OF HAWAII PREFER CHILDREN TO
 BECOME AMERICANS

HONOLULU, Feb. 14.-NOt one of ese parents in Hawaii since Decem- Der 1 has made a reservation for the retention of his Japanese citizenship under the new repatriation law which Japan placed in effect December 1, according to Keiichi Yamasaki, Japan csc nsul-general for the territory
 The law, seeking to abolish dual citizenship if such elimination is de- sired, provides that all children born to Japanese parents in the United States after December 1, shall be re- garded as exclusive American citi zens unless parents, within fourteen days after birth, expressly reserve Japanese citizenship for the child through the Japanese consulate. Fail ure to register such reservation au- tomatically relinquishes any claim which the Japanese government might have on that child, as in the case of dual citizenship which prevailed pre- viously.
 Vital statistics show that upwards of forty children have been born to Japanese parents since December l.
 Explaining the workings of the new law, Consul-General Yamasaki said:
 T am personally urging expatria- tion of those Japanese who are going to make the United States their home in the future and urging parents to take advantage of the new law which aids them in effecting repatriation of their children.
 "The new law is a measure of the desire of the Japanese government to remove objections raised to tie for mer dual citizenship and further evi- dence of my governments desire to maintain friendly relations.
 "I am only asking Americans to exercise tolerance and patience with the Japanese as with other races to the end that the Japanese may be bstter understood I believe 9 bet ter understanding will remove all the prejudice now lodged against my pto- ple and I am confident that Ameri. cars iii their hearts mean to be ab- solutely fair and just to them."

MANILA ATTORNEYS NAME
 SERVES AS MEMORY TEST

MANILA, Feb. 14.-A prominent lawyer of Manila, who is known gen.
 erally simply as Colonel J. N. Wolf
 son. but whose full name consists of
 twelve words containing 106 letters, l is $1I50 poorer as a result of what he terms the remarkable memorizing
 powers of the Filipino pupils of the high school at Tarlac, province of
 Tarlac.
 Recently Colonel Wolfson was at Tarlac on legal business and during
 his stay visited the high school He was invited by the principal, an Am-
 erican, to question the pupils on yari-
 ous topics. After receiving answers with varying success, he announced that he would give one peso (fifty
 cents) to each pupil who could mem
 orize his full name in fifteen min utes.
 The entire school was eager for the attempt but received something of a surprise when Cononel Wolfson wrote
 on the blackboard the name, Josephus Adolphus Americanus Vespucius Leo indus, Wolsicanicus Alexandricus Nap talicus Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus
 Woifson.
 At the end of 15 minutes 23 out of the 33 who made the attempt, had memorized the name perfectly. Colonel Wolfson was christened in New Orleans more than sixty years Iago and came here as an officer in
 the volunteer army during the insur- rectlOn nearly quarter of a cen tury ago.

 TELL TRUTH ABOUT COUGAR

SEATTLE, Feb 14.-Cougars of the mountains of western America, like tigers of the jungles of India, don't kill human beings until too old to obtain food otherwise, according to pioneers in the Cascade and Olym- pic mountains.
