coupled with a seriously extended
condition among many OF the banks
serving the agricultural commun1-
ties. The deposits Of country banks
had declined, their reserves were
depleted, they could not collect on
their loans and their corresponding
were not in q position to extend
further credit.
In many cases the correspondents
were compelled to press the Coun-
try banks for liquidation, and the
country banks in turn were forced
to press the farmers. The most
effective way to render assistance
was to advance funds through
country banks, which, while per-
haps extended and low in reserves.
possessed sound assets and security
in sufficient amount to warrant
advances, thus enabling the coun-
try banks to carry the farmers for
longer period and to make such
additional loans as the needs Of
their communities justified.
Even where a bank, because or
closed, It is still possible in a large
majority Of cases to obtain repay

orderly LIQUIDATION Of the collateral.

that he will be able. to identify
them.
Blunt and his brother, Kenneth,
who own the filling station, were
kept busy all day yesterday and at
o'clock Kenneth left to go to
their home which is a quarter of a
mile from the station, to get
supper. Blunt saw the car in
which the men escaped before the
hold-up. The machine was parked
at the intersection Of the River
road and the Fort Humphreys road,
Immediately below the store.
Both men had dark hair and
black eyes. They were about
twenty-five or twenty-six years old,
and were dressed for heavy
weather. Both wore caps, and one
wore a heavy overcoat, and the
other a mackinaw.
Blunt Immediately called Alex

rer and Policeman Cockrell
answered the call. Descriptions Of
the men have been sent out to the
nearby cities.

BRITAIN SENDS
PREPARATIONS
NOTE
Contests U. s. Claims Under
Dawes Plan, But Offers
Possible Solution

LONDON, Jan. 1.-The British
foreign office today dispatched to
the United States Government a
note on the subject of America s
claim for Preparations.
The note was lengthy. 1t set
forth the legal reasons why Britain
believes the United States is not
entitled to obtain PREPARATIONS through
the Dawes plan.
The note suggests, however, that
a. solution may be found by ex-
tending the time for the. army &C.
cupation costs to the United States,
using part of the annuity for the
payment Of claims.

JAP RACE SAID ID
 COME FROM NORTH
Scientist Denies Origin Was in
 South Seas

Tokyo, Sept. 12 Pl- Dr, Rynzo Torii, formerly of tho Tokyo lmper- ial university and one of the fore most authorities in Japan on anthro- pology, is of the opinion that the Japanese race originated m the north and not in the South Seas. Dr. Torii was quoted recently as stating that the evidence indicated that the larger part of the stock from which the race developed migrated from Korea, Siberia and Manchuria.
 "Evidonco discovered in the study of prehistoric Japan overwhelmingly supports the theory that the larger part of the Japanese stock came from countries to the north of this island" he said. There are some foreigners who maintain hat the South Sea islands were the cradle of the Japanese race and their areu- ments are tp some extent convincing to the amateur. 1T Is easy for for eigncrs to jump at this conclusion because indications supporting it are abundant. The argument falls flat however, If the entire subject Is studied on the basis of prehistoric records and study is made of the comparative cultures of the carly in habitants of Japan and hose of the northern Nnrts of the continent.
 "Therr were different 'rihes liv- ing on their land between the pre- historic and nrotohistoric ae"s who used bronze instruments. The de signs on copper drums which have hocn unnar'hed In various paris Of Chugohu, Shikoku, Tokkalo and lIaga are similar to those which have been found in Yunnai. 1ndo- China and siam There is a great dcal of evidence pointing tO Malay { origin. but The oeerwhelming pro portion of the evidence poin,s to Korea.

VANILLA SODAS A
 SOURCE OF WEALTH
South Seas Profit by Selling to
 PrOhibitiOniSt America

Honolulu, Sept. 12 P-Prohibi- ton in America has brought untold and unaccustomed wealth to the na- tt'es of the French mInQutoi island of Bora Bora through m increase in the demand for and price Of vanilla, which developed with the operation of the Nolstcad act in the United States.
 Authority for the statement is Armstrong Sperry, New York artist, who recently returned from the South Seas. He added that paradoXically as 1t may seem. the new prosperity has resulted in bank luptcy for more than one native, who hitherto had been comfortably settled in life, and the mortgage Of much of the island property 10 Chi Etse merchants,
 Formerly vanilla sold at th"re francs pound" sai spnrry. but now 1t is quoted at 7i francs. This rise is the cause of the new state of affairs, and the raising of vanilla is the one industry--if it may bc culIc l that--of Bora Bora. The reopjn simply plant it in a sha,jY spot tnl wait for it 10 mature, It lequi; es practically no care"
 With the increased incomes. said Sperry, the tiny interisIaui copra steamers began to bring strange and ! unprecedented cargoes. OccasionaliY there was an automobile, sewing ma chimes, bicycles, phonogmrhs eases of champagne and other liquors and barrels of Taihitian rum, When he left there were six automobiles in Bora Bora, which has only ton miles of good roads,
 There had been other machines, the artist explained, "hut nulnlcr of them had been abandoned. AS soon as the gasoline gives oGt ol anything goes wrong. ;he automobile is left to rust away. Some arc ever left on the beach with the waves washing over them. Hut utomo. bling is great fun while 1t lasts"

If William Fox gives all his screen versions of famous stage plays the splendid and faithful transcription he has given Charming Pollock's s great melodrama, "The Fool" which is at the Palace Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, then the playgoers of this city can sit back and worry not Q bit about the ad- vantage that New Workers have on them when it comes 10 gllmpsing the seasonal successes on Broadway.
 The fidelity of the production from the original stage play is the first pleasant reaction Npon seeing this big special screen adaptation of "rhe Fool" But many others fol- lew. If you have never seen the stage play or read Pollock's dra- matic story in book form, the treat is even greater, for we hasten to join our paeaus with those of the New York critics, who. during it's long run on Broadway, pronounced it better than the stage play.
 The Keith vaudeville program will offer four good acts, headed by the Carlson Sisters and Fitzgerald in "A Broadway Rovuc,' an excellent song and dance offering. Other acts are Mort Harvey. a great blackfacc comedian in new songs and stories; Moon and Mullen are comedy team with a bright line of wit and batter
