SAFE IN CHINA

pEIPING. China, July %
uNS9. - Approximately 100
Americans living in Kiukiang
and Changsha were taken aboard
the American gunboats Monocacy
and Palos today when Chinese
Communist troops approached
the outskirts of the latter city.
The gunboats were dispatched
70 the ports when the Communist
forces advanced almost unop-
posed from the South. The
Changsha garrison was attacked
by the raiders, reports stated,
whereupon Americans were evac-
uated Immediately.
ALI preparations had been
made for days for an immediate
evacuation, as the Communist adj
vance into Human and Kiagsi
provinces had been expected. The
forces Of President Chiang-Kai-
Shek have been concentrated in
Shantung and Honan provinces
because Of the northern coalition
rebellion in that district.
Reports reaching here from
Changsha indicated the evacua-
tion as not carried out a moment
too soon, as the garrison troops
deserted their posts and fled
under the Communists attack,
leaving the town to the mercy
of the raiders. 1t was reported
the Communists have now ad-
vanced to within is miles OF
Kiukiang.

Ponder WontHide
Disgusting Pores

There's no use trying to hide
large pores, blackheads and oily
skin behind makeup. You only
fool yourself.
Out in Hollywood they have
the recipe for a lotion that
quickly removes flaws and makes
the skin beautiful and soft. Get
8 ounces Of Orchard White from
the druggist and mix it with the
Juice of 2 lemons. You have a
full uuarter-pint Of the finest
lotion.
The very minute you pat this
cooling, reviving lotion on the
face 1t gets down deep into the
skin and cleans out the dirt that
settles in large pores. 1t removes
hlackheads, closes the pores and
quickly makes the skin smooth,
good.looking and youthfully fresh.
You'll notice. too, that the skin
is 70 longer oily and perspiration
doesn't bother you any more.
NOW If you want smooth.
soft, beautiful Skin-just get 8
ounces of Orchard White from
any druggist, mix it with the
Juice of Q lemons and you have
the new Hollywood beauty lotion.
Note. In the summer this lotion
keeps the skin free from treckIeS
and guards against that leGthery
look caused by iCi7ld and sun.

Two Cuban Women Have
Not Left Hotel Room
in Five Years.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The
4 Y drawn shades of a hotel
room in midtown Manhattan
shelter from the public hermit
age in which two Cuban women
have lived for five years, never
venturi1g beyond their threshold.
Ever since the death of her hus-
band, wealthy Cuban planter,
five years ago, Sonora NTichaela
Romero has remained in seclusion
in her room with her 21-year-old
daughter.
The only contact they have with
the world is an occasional tele-
phone call to ask the desk clerk
for the time. Meals are left on
tray outside their door. Chamber
maids are not permitted to enter.
Their bills are paid monthly by
draft from Cuba.
Complete mystery surrounds
their motive in remaining perpet-
ually secluded.

PAGO PAGO, Tutuila, American
Samoa, Nov. 4.-The Samoan GUS
tom of land ownership, a peculiar
communal system, will be recognized
by the American Samoan commits
sion when it takes recommendation
to congress for an organic act under
which Samoa will have a represen-
tative government.
Under the old Samoan customs
each family, not merely parents
and children, but cousins, aunts
uncles, nieces and nephews, such as
gather together in one family group
is headed by a chief known as 9
natal.
Each family has ribal lands upon
which grow taro, cocoanut, ba-
nanas, breadfruit and other food
stuffs. The natal is lord of his
healm. He directs his family tc
gather food every day, and to dc
the planting. He parcels out this
food to various members.
Represents Family
Each family may have one or sew
eraI grass houses. The entire fam
lily enjoys communal ownership
When a natal dies the family Sc
Iects a new one. The natal repre-
sents his family in all village and
district matters. serving as their
spokesman.
When the navy began administer
ing affairs in American Samoa the
old treaty land law, providing that
onlv Samoans may own land, was
continued, and remains il. force I'M
til this day.
Qualifications for Samoan citi-
zenship. in respect to length or resi-
dence. ETC., will be left to the fono,
or legislative council of chiefs, with
one Limitation, namely, that il they
quality otherwise, no distinction
shall be made be-ween persons OF
part or full Polyn sian blood.
Land Rights Equal
Further. it is Stipulated that all
Samoan citizens have equal 1and
rights.
Hence, although tie fono may not
differentiate between part and full
blooded Samoans, it may or may not
admit white persons to Samoan c1tl-
zenship as it feels fit. Thus, the
commission will leave the matter
of land ownership in American. Sa-
moa up to the natives themselves.
Under the commissions recon-
mendation the fono would be made
the island legislature, with power
of passing bills by a two-thirds
vote over the Governors veto, but
with the President of the United
States exercising a final veto
power.
