FACE HAZARD
OF FOG, STORM

WASHINGTON, Aug. l7-LP-
Between PetropavlovSk and Tokyo
lies what filters and scientists alike
have described as IN Of the most
dangerous spans Of the flight Of

stone from Kamchatka 10 Japan.
The facts do not bear out this as
sumption, however.
Stormy Area
Fog enShrouds them constantly
and storms lash them days at a
time, often arising suddenly. Like
the Aleutians, the Kuriles are a
string Of volcanic peaks, dead and
alive, whose points protrude above
the cold and restless water OF the
Pacific.
Although they belong TO Japan,
most OF the inhabitants are the
hairy Anus, a curious people who
live in the ground and hunt IN
primitive fashion. Y%etorofu, the
largest Of the Kuriles. has a Jap
aneSe settlement, however.
Passing over the KurileS. the
Lindberghs will strike Hokkaido. on
which the town Of Nemuro. with a
population Of 10000 in 1925. is To-
Gated. II lies north Of the japanese
mainland but. like the other islands
is a region of volcanic disturbance.
Cold Weather

will travel. rises the rocky promon-
tory Of Hakcdate, the gibraltar OF
Japan.
IN summer the region is hot.
though alleviated by constant
breezes, while in winter the wealth

Although the towns OF northern
Japan have railways and electric
lights. picturesque coolies carrying
bundles OF dried seaweed or cured
fish and Japanese women wearing
colorful kimonos are ordinary sights
on the streets.
