TOXIC, March 5.-Japan's efforts
to arrange a peace settlement be-

indicated that only technical de-
tails remained to be worked out.
1t was said the French still had
not accepted in full the settlement

although Charles Arsene Henry.

Foreign once today for further dis

Informed quarters said an i'm
mediate solution was unlikely, but
that negotiations were continuing.
Meanwhile it was not clear what
disposition would be made regard
ing the twice-extended Thailand-
Indo-China armistice, now due to
expire Friday. There were uncon-
firmed reports 1t would be extended
again.
Thailand already has replied
repeatedly favorably-to the Jap

Tronce-Producing Cactus Bean
May Form Indian Good Will Tie

prohibit use of Peyote in tribal reli-
gious services.
Indians attach to Peyote much the
same significance that orthodox
Christians give to bread and wine
in their holy sacraments. They
believe the buttOn-like bean has a
divine origin, that Gods spirit has
been transplanted there.
During their rituals, the Indians
chant songs and pray in their native
language to their conception of the
Great Spirit. Sometimes they direct
their prayers to the earth, requesting
good crops, or to the sky, asking for
rain.
When the bean is eaten, 1t brings
about a trance in which sensations
of peace, brotherly love and the will
to 60 good are experienced.
Medical authorities term the effect
q delightful and apparently non
injurious Iansuor accompanied by q
stimulated Imagination.

at all times Garry it in the car

ready 10 shoot that surprising pic
ture that may bob up at the most
unexpected moment. 1t is amazing
how many good picture chances are
encountered on weekend auto

Each contestant may enter as
many different pictures as he de-
sires.
The Star will pay S. each week
for the best picture and 50 each for
all other pictures published. At

the winner in each of the four
classes: Babies and children, young
people and adults, scenes and still
life. and animal life.
The grand prize winner in the
national contest will win more than
$500.
Costly Equipment Unnecessary.
To win a prize is relatively simple,
as the contest does not require eX-
pensive equipment. An amateur
with an inexpensive camera and
simple equipment may win substan-
tial prize money with the right kind
of picture.
Much depends on the man or
woman behind the camera. Think
before you shoot. A few steps for
ward or backward or to one side
may change your picture from an
ordinary snapshot to prize
winning entry. Don't crowd too
much into one picture. Strive for
effective backgrounds. It's just as
easy to take a picture of a pretty
girl or a child in attractive surround
ings as it is to shoot away care
lessly with background of no
significance.
