TOXIC, September 27.AIn his first
public utterance as the new American
Ambassador to Japan, w Cameron
Forbes last night addressed the Ameri-
can-Japan Society, referring briefly to
the exclusion provision in the United
States immigration law.
Speaking of the possible causes of
irritation between the United States and
Japan, I am not unmindful of the immi-
grafton problem" said the Ambassador.
But as that depends upon the action of
Congress and cannot be handled by
either executive or diplomatic officers, !
feel it is wiser not to discuss either its
prospects or merits"
Mr.. Forbes spoke Of favorable senti-
ment he encountered on his recent visit
to the Pacific Coast toward Japanese
residents there.
"All up and down the coast" said the
Ambassador, "I heard words of apprecia-
ton but not single comment unfavor-
able regarding Japanese residents of
California
The Ambassador asserted Japanese
and American interests in development
Of the Pacific region "in the main COM
mon and identical. We both want
peace We ask no exclusive
privileges and believe that, given free
dom of opportunity and prosperity we
can all share the general welfare"

The contemplated divorce action be-
came known Thursday through an at

In the trials at Los Angeles the State

killed Kennedy to remove a rival for
the affections of Mrs. Madalynne Oben-
chain, who twice was tried with Burch
for the murder. The juries disagreed in
each of the trials, and Burch and Mrs.
Obenchain were released.
Prosecutors sought to prove Burch
came to Los Angeles from Evanston, at
Mrs. Obenchain's request, to kill Ken
nedy that Mrs. Obenchain, divorce
and one time adjudged the most beauti-
full girl at Northwestern, might test
Burch's love and remove a sutton whose

Capital Girl
Made Happy

MANY times a child has every-
AVA thing to make her happy and
still is dissatisfied. This may not be
the youngsters fault. Often it is due
to a condition easily corrected.
Take the experience of Mrs. B. A.
Gainey, 2i34 F ST., n. W., Washing
ton, who says: Nothing seemed to
please Marjory. She was fretful,
feyeFish, her tongue was coated. She
was constipated.
"A friend told me about California
Fig Syrup and got some. 1t relieved
her trouble promptly; made her
bright and happy again. We have
used it for five years"
Mothers by thousands praise this
pure vegetable product. Children
love it. Doctors recommend it to
relieve constipation, feverishness,
fretfuIness, headaches; TO open the
bowels in colds or children's ailments.
Appetite is increased by the use Of
California Fig Syrup; breath is sweet
ened; coated tongue is cleared; diges-
fion and assimilation are aided; weak
bowels and stomach are strengthened.
For your protection, the genuine
always bears the name California.

turning from green to gold, they were married
quietly. but firmly, in quaint old church on
the outskirts of Munich. This time the pro-
feSSor rather wisely refrained from telling his

cats, rabbits and Insurance adjusters He
would smoke horrible cigars and drop ashes
on the living room rug. He would whistle.

she decided to do something about It. She
was by nature q rather timid soul and 50, ON
the afternoon IN question, having fortified
herself with three cups of strong tea, she went

with whatever information concerning 1T

attendant upon actual entry into the district.
Six days after we left Napo we stopped
where the Rio Aguarico joins the Nap0, and
found, to my delight, that three WeetOto Indians
were on the shore. We called TO them and
padded ashore, but when they approached,

three of them-two men and woman-had

to stop the brutalities of that district, nothing

difficulty, and in one or two cases. there was
actually quite a bit of unpleasantness. In fact,
he finally was forced to come to the conclusion
that the only way In which he could continue

the fortunate miss. His courtship was brief
