U. S. Planning To
Colonize Islands.
Britons Claimed
May Become Pacific Bases
for Future Ocean
Air Lines

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. S.
(UP). A United States coast
guard cutter and a British war
vessel will appear simultaneously
off disputed land, claimed by the
United States and England, soon,
according to advices here from
Honolulu. 49,.
The cutter Itasca, laden with
supplies necessary for the colonl-
cation of Jarvis, Baker and How
land Islands, is already en- route
from Honolulu for the three
points. 1t has on board Ray A.
Kleindienst, administrative officer
in the division of territories and
insular possessions of the United
States department of the interior,
and also r. B. Black, field repre-
sentative for the same depart
ment, and w. T. Miller of the
department of commerce.
The trip of the ltasca is for the
permanent settlement of the three
islands that were claimed by the
United States long before the an
nexation of Hawaii, but which
were recently referred to. by a
British official as belonging to
that country. In fact, British
firms have in past years granted
guano concessions on them.
1t now is the intention of the
United States to COLOMBO them as
possible bases for aviation service
between the United States, New
Zealand and possibly Australia.
Just prior to the departure of
the Itasca from Honolulu, Klein
iienst was notified that His Maj
esty's sloop wellington, of the
New Zealand division of the royal
navy, intended to head for Jarvis
Island. The visit of the British
ship was described as purely

EXPORTS SURPASS BRITAIN

Comparing Japanese cotton
cloth exports with those of Great
! Britain, Miyake states that Japan
exported 100000 square
wards in 1885 and Britain only
! 1,948,884,O00. In 1882 Britain
was exporting more than Japan.
"Despite its impressive progress
one may legitimately ask whether
the cotton industry will continue
thriving forever" the writer con-
tinues. Several problems must be
discussed before an answer can
be attempted. (
"First of all, it must be noted
that the rate of increase has be-
gun to become smaller, despite
the fact that cotton cloth exports
last year were the largest on rec
ord. Still more significant is the
fact that apprehension of over
production is being felt, due to
the great expansion of productive
facilities and the continuous in
crease in output, while the rate
of consumption is remaining stat
ic. N.......
QUOTA SYSTEM ENFORCED
GAS means of mitigating the
threat the Spinners' association
has enforced quota system of
production among it's members,
but this has led to constant dis
putes among spinners, weavers
and traders. On the whole, it is
safe to say that the cotton indus
try is facing a period of trial"
Discussing the possible methods
of dealing with the situation, the
article states:
"There are a number of ways
in which the situation might be,
met; for example, a further cut in
the production cost, the manufac-
ture of high quality goods, trans
formation of the cotton industry
into a Comprehensive fiber indus
try, and more vigorous efforts to.
develop foreign trade might sim
ely or in combination prove in
strumental in furthering develop
ment of the cotton business.
"There is no possibility of re-
storing the cid free trade system
and discriminative barriers against
Japan's goods are being strength
ened."

Tactless Sick ~
Room Visits Are
Warned Against
Physician Says Well In
tended Jokes May
Harm Patients

CHICAGO, Aug. S. (UP).-
Hearty visitors who enter the
sickroom with booming, Well-ln-
tentioned references to the NOR
que or operating room actually
9av become a contributing fac
tor to a patients death, accord
inc to Dr.. George B. Lake, editor
of Clinical Medicine and Surgery
"Few people, except exper-
fenced physicians, know how to
talk to an acutely sick man." ne
said, writing in the Radiologic
Review. r. n 4
"Iugubrious anecdotes all too
frequently contribute to an unla-
vorable outcome" =
The patient who worries or Is
afraid always has an uphill tilght
to recovery the physical nsald.
"This fear or worry. need not
be with regard to physical conan
tion. A man may be distressed
because he is not carrying enough
life insurance because his rent IS
"A woman may be violently
perturbed because she has dlScov-
cred a few gray hairs or crows
feet. because she fears she is los
inp her husbands love. Both men
and women have died because
thew feared the loss of friends or
social position, or had a feeling
of remorse for past mistakes.
URGES CAREFUL STUDY :,
Such fears and worries, ne SAID
"are not immaterial and foolish
and they deserve the earnest at
tention and study of the physil-
clans who aspire to achieve high
and lasting success.
Deeply hidden metal or physical
reactions frequently result from
acts which the individual recog-
nizes as opposed to his own or the
communty's code of morals, the
physician said.
Emotional instability caused by
faulty heredity or dysgenic mat
ings often is an important factor
in causing and perpetuating dis
tressing symptoms, DR.. Lake said
Most of these persons, he said,
are "chronics" who for years have
been going from one physician to
another with but little relief.
Some have been inadequately pre-
scribed for, others have been dis
o,;ssod hrusouelv and told nothing
was wrong.
"In the latter case it is unset
entific and untrue to declare that
nothing ails the patient. If he
were not ill he would not have
sought medical advice. His psyche
is as much a part of his organism
as is his thorax or abdomen and,
until it has been painstakingly eX-
amined, the study Of the case IS
Incomplete" the physician said.
FEARS MUST BE MINIMlZED
The emotionally unstable per-
son frequently finds himself un-
able tor unwilling to face the true
cause of his distress, he said.
The man who Cannot tell a
lie" has no place in the MEDICAL
profession, according to Or.
Lake.
"Many a man has recovered
from pneumonia or gastric ulcer,
because his medical attendant had
the good sense to assure him that
he Suffered from bronchitis or
gastritis, when a knowledge of
the true nature of his disease
would have excited SO strong a
fear as to break down his powers
of resistance"
DR.. Lake said such treatment
was not to be taken as a general
recommendation Patients, he said,
should be individualiZed.

PARIS FASHIONS
By MARY FENTRESS
United Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Aug. 5. (UP).-Heim's
summer collection, which has been
successful, lays much stress on
tailoring and this popular cou-
turier makes tailored suits and
tailored dresses with jackets for
every time of day or night.
The races at Longchamps are
perhaps the most important social
event in the Paris summer season
and Helms tailored racing ensem-
bles have net new vogue. These
costumes are composed of long
skirted dresses which are worn
with tailored dresses, usually IN
solid colors in plain materials. DC
casionally he shows these costumes
in small all-over print patterns,
which have replaced the large
splashy patterns that were popu-
lar several summers ago.
These afternoon tailored suits
are offered in a variety of smart
materials, including taffeta finely
striped in black and white and
trimmed with ceramic buttons.
Black crepe brocaded with little
white daisies and a crinkly small
black pattern are smart. .
Helm makes a dinner dress OF
peasant inspiration that is inter
esting. The gown is of sheer black
chiffon made with short, transpar-
ent puff sleeves and with a big
ruff at the high neck. The short
little peasant bodice of black vel
vet is embroidered with little blue
birds carrying white flowers in
their beaks. The black chiffon
skirt is long and full.
For hot weather, this couturer
shows much organza and eyelet
embroidery.

Probably many youngster is re- strained by well meaning but mis- guided parents or guardians from going in swimming when he is "overheated" lest he have cramps" --whatever they may be.
