 MISSION GUEST
Rev. Floyd Roberts De- scribes Bitter Struggle
 Waged Within Japan

Even Q short war would ruin Ja- pan, and yet the military clique among tAe Nlpponese is willing to force the country Into . fatal struggle in order to save It's own face, Rev. Floyd Roberts, for four. teen years Q missionary in Japan, yesterday told members Of the local Lions club ct their noon meeting at The Elton.
 MT. Roberts described the bitter struggle being waged within Japan, between the army and military circles and the diplomats who arc anxious to preserve peace, The problem, in the opinion of she speaker, is ole which must Do solved within Japan, although our state department Is doing It's best to effect Q peaceful solution by strengthening the hand of the diplomats against the military leaders,
 Tho missionary stated that Japan Is completely dependent on thB country and other nations for raw materials, without which her very existence would De threatened, Be. cause of problems of exchange, the Japanese are ct the mercy of for- eign bankers, he added. Hence the Nlpponese are anxious to gain con- trol of the Orient, in order to get their own sources Of raw materials, independent of the A.B.C.D powers,
 America, tho speaker explained, opposes the Japanese program be- cause this country is against any change in the status quo by foroe- ful means, rad because she wants the markets of the Far East to TO. main open to her trade. This coun. try, in MT. Roberts opinion, must redoublO its efforts to build world market, accessible to oil the nations of the earth.
 MT. Roberts, former assistant pas. tor of the First Congregational church in Waterbury and for more than c decade It's missionary in Ja. pan, said that he returned to thiS country because he was in Syn1pn. thy with the masses of Japan, and to the program Of tho militarlstS.

''Thar's Liquid Gold In Them Thar Sharks, ]" Chortle West Coast Fishermen, Cashing In

This alone might account for the fact that demand is still four times larger than supply. But shark liver oil has countless other uses.
 One of the most important is in fabrication. Secret experiments Are being carried on, testing its use for stratosphere engines, where or- dinary lubricants are affected by the extreme and rapid temperature changes. Highly refined, it makes c topnotcli oil for fine mechanisms.
 The British are using Is to fortlfy margarine for national health. Many milk companies are using 1t to im- prove their products. Pharmaceuti- cal manufacturers use 1t in many preparations. Vast amounts 70 into poultry feed to speed growth and improve egg and meat qualities.
 Meanwhile, topsnotch research men are working constantly to find new uses for both the earcasses of the shark and the residue of the liver. Such developments as have been made are still secret, but may be startling

 san Francisco, Dec. 5,--In the Pacific, the shark was once just Q nuisance. Now US a prize eagerly sought by fishermen for shark flyers contain an immense quantity of Vltamin A, which has become immensely valuable since fish oil im- ports were cut off by the war,
 From Canada to Mexico, shark fishing has tidal-waved Into an esti- mated $75,000000 business and Pa- cific Coast fisheries are riding the crest.
 Fishermen who have been earning only a fair living, now average well over $200 a week in fren2led hunt for certain varieties of sharks. Some worth $40 ton in 1888, now bring Sl200 to $l 300 Q ton,
 Record profits were made when Q tour-man boat out of San Francisco for Ave days, made Q S7000 catch to net SLIGO for each fisherman,
 That's an exception, not the rule, or everybody on the Pacific Coast would be out catching sharks, Aver- age for three-man boat Is $700 to Sl,200 q week,
 This fabulous boom can be trac- ed to c San Franciscan, Tho J, dauragnella, representative of q large drug concern, He started buying shark llvers in 1888, using the oil to fortify poultry feed,
 By accident, he discovered that the huge, livers of the common Soupfin shark (l0 to 25 per cent of the entire weighD carry nearly 20 times the Vitamin A potency of other Ash,

 UNITS BOUGHT BY |, $,
 Compared with cod liver oils av. craze of 1000 International Units of Wtamin A per gram, and halibut'S 5000 units per gram, the average i00,000-unit yield from Souptn sharks really makes the oil liquid gold" And when Guaragnella found also that the livers were more than 30 per cent oil, the boom was on,
 Already this year the United States Government has purchased nearly four trillion units of Vita min A, Much of this Is given to our Army and Navy flyers, the rest is tent to England, perhaps Russia, under Lend-LeNSe,
 Vitamln A Is for flyers what glasses are for near-Slghted per. 'ons. It tends to facilitate night flying by preventing night blindness; | lesSens eye fatigue and is claimed 70 increase vision,

were perfectly ecstatic about them,
like kids with new bicycles. Why?
1t was because they knew that with
those stovepipes they actually could
go out and shoot up an armored
enemy. For the first time they had
become he-troops - fighting men of
some importance.
The faster Uncle Sam can supply
the boys with modern weapons the
more contented they're going to be.
But who am / to give the Army
advice on military morale? All know
about it is what I've learned from
talking with a few hundred soldiers
and, anyway, l don't think morale
is as big problem as it's reputed.
Getting along with the Army isn't
any problem either. It's made up of
the best crowd of boys on earth, and
all they expect of girls is understand
ing, sympathy and sense of humor.
If we give them that, they'll take care
of any job of fighting they have to do.
