French Shanghai Officials
Bar Replacement on
; Warehouse.

BACKGROUND
Since conquerino Shanghai last
tall japanese officials hare claimed
and exercised most OF rights OF for
nser Chinese government and hare
made advances against ertraterri-
torial rights Of third po,Ders. Japan
exercises censorship orer mail, Uire
and radio communications.
By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, Feb. 26-Consul Gen.
eral Clarence E. Gauss today made
representations to the Japanese
against the sealing OF two American
warehouses In the International Set
tlement.
One Of the buildings, located in
the French Concession, belongs to the
American Trading Co. and French
authorities reported they had torn the
seals from it and prevented the jap
anese from replacing them.
The Japanese action was regarded
as q serious assumption of authority
as the Settlement presumably is reu-
tral territory where extraterritorial
rights are enjoyed by Americans and
others.
Sealing Protested.
Consul General Gauss first protested
to japanese Consul General Suemasa
Okomoto over sealing of warehouse
of the Commercial Express Co.. in the
heart of the Settlement.
Half of the premises are occupied
by a United States naval warehouse
but this portion was not sealed. The
building is British -owned but leased
by the American concern and con-
tains cargo under various ownerships.
French police reported that sinul-
taneously Japanese sealed the Ameri-
can Trading Co. warehouse in the
French concession.
They said after they removed the
seals and prevented the Japanese from
replacing them that the japanese al
legedly threatened to return later to
carry out their action. French es-
tablished guards around the building.
Vast Questions Raised.
The incidents raised far-reaching
questions of foreign property rights in
the Settlement Warehouses of other
foreign nationals have been occupied
and the property requisitioned by the
japanese, but this was the first time
there had been arbitrary sealing of
American property.
Authoritative sources viewed the
Japanese actions as verging on the
exercise of alleged rights and privi-
leges Of an army of occupation al
though the japanese have not ac-
tually occupied the settlement and
have not claimed it formally.
1t was pointed out that il the
japanese asserted they had the rights
of an army of occupation. the ques-
ton would be raised automatically
whether a formal state of war be-
tween China and Japan existed
This led to speculation whether
President Roosevelt would be con-
frented with the problem of decid-
ing if the United States Neutrality
Act should be invoked.
Informed sources. however, ex-
pressed belief that the Japanese had
no desire to force decision on the
neutrality issue and that an amicable
settlement of the controversy could
be arranged.

 as Theme

One father? Shes got forty-five!
 One jam? She's in four hundred and fifty!
 One laugh? There's at least forty five hundred of tn em in "45 Fathers" fun-packed Twentieth Century-Fox picture starring Jane Withers, and featuring Thomas Beck. Louise Henry and the mimi table Hartmans, eccentric ventrilo- quists and Broadway satiriSts of the dance which opened yesterday at the Coliseum Theatre.
 A group of millionaires draw lots to determine which lucky man is going to have his life brightened by this sweet little girl?". and then shout for help as Jane starts throw ing things around and the ventrilo- quizing Hartmans start throwing their dancing, voices and discretion to the winds in the funiest picture Jane ever made.
 The highly amusing screen play by Frances Hyland and Albert Ray based on a story by Mary Bickel, first finds Jane with the Hartmans, aboard a vessel bound for New York where she is to be adopted by the members of a millionaire ex- plorer'S club of which her father was member.
 A series of hilarious situations get under way when the insepar- able trio, after arriving in New York, find their way to the club where the solemn members are thrown into an uproar as Jane goes on a riotous rampage.
 Taken by Richard Carle, Lucky winner in the drawing, to his neph- ew's home, Jane, in spite of her up roarious antics, takes time out to study the interest of Louise Henry an attractive but scheming society girl, in Thomas Beck, and proceeds to rescue him from the entangle- ment.

Number II

Once upon a time, the Roman Emperor Augustus was in bad way, suffering from some sort of diet ailment. A travelling doctor fed the Emperor on lettuce leaves and he got well. Even that long ago, it seems that some body knew about the value of green leaves in the human diet Members of his court imi- tated the Emperor's eating habits and all began eating salads made of lettuce leaves.
 But there was no advertising in those days, and salad eating did not become a general custom. Centuries later, Napoleon knew about the value of this kind of food, for he ate it daily When in the field his chef pre- pared salads of green leaves from nearby tree, if lettuce was not available. But the general public was not greatly influenced by Napoleon's eccentric eating habits.
 In this country, less than a generation ago, green salads were almost unknown in the average home. Today we are nation of salad-eaters. What caused this remarkable change? Advertising, and almost nothing else Companies that sell dressing and other salad ingredients have educated the public to the health value of fresh green leaves and have taught people how to prepare salads. As consequence, the average persons diet has become lighter and decidedly more healthful.
 Oranges, tomato juice, spinach, and salads. These are only few of the better foods popu- larized by advertising. There are many more, and the American table is now the best Tn the world The good work continues. Adver- Using puts more health in our food and more zest in our meals.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-12-08

Do you remember when oranges were scarcely ever seen except in Christmas stock ings? They were expensive too. It was great thing for us when the orange was pro- noted to a regular place on our year-round breakfast table Now the drinking of delici- ous, heathful orange juice is a universal custom
 What brought about this change? It was accomplished entirely by advertising. Farm CTS who raised oranges wanted to sell more of them and they advertised the benefits of drinking orange juice Many of us tried 1t and liked it, and we bought more oranges. Production of oranges went up and prices came down. Annual consumption of oranges increased from per capita to 58, and every body is happier for it, consumers, farmers, railroads, and grocers.
 A distinguished physician recently de- scribed how he and other nutrition experts had tried for years to educate the public to drink tomato juice. But they didn't get any where Then certain food companies started canning tomato juice. They advertised its pleasing taste and health-giving properties As direct result, nearly everybody drinks tomato juice now, and in 1937 the public bought 5,750,000 cases of it.
 Spinach, long known as valuable food, has been the bane of many youngsters existence. To make children eat it was like pulling teeth Then, along came Popeye the Sailor. Backed by an advertising appropria- tion, he actually converted children into en- thusiastic spinach-eaters. Popeye's thou sands of fans want to be strong, and they thoroughly enjoy their spinach.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL
TO INCREASE BOARD
L. A. Downs Announces Plans to
Shift Meeting Place From
New York to Chicago.

NCW xU1A W VU1Cd6V.
CHICAGO, Feb. 28.-L. A. Downs.
president Of the Illinois Central
system, announced headquarters Of
the board of directors of the railroad
company would be transferred from
New York to Chicago.
THE principal Offices of the Illinois
Central system are in Chicago" Downs
said, but meetings OF the board of
directors have been held in New York
because most Of the directors have
had their own offices in New York
On the other hand, men of affairs from
Chicago and elsewhere along our
system lines whose services We would
like to have as directors have not been
available because of the sacrifice of
time that would be required to attend
board meetings in New York"
To remedy that situation. he con-
tinued, I'VE have decided to increase
the board from IL to IS members. in
addition to the Governor of Illinois,
who is an exoffcio director Of the
company under the terms of our
charter from the State. and to elect
a number of new directors from along
our system lines.
Some of our present New York di-
rectors, including w. A. Hartman,
chairman of the executive committee,
will continue on the board"
