OLD JAPANESE LAND
LEASES HELD VALID
SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 3.— (AP).—
Superior Judge Austin E. Grittiths
ruled yesterday 'lhat a state anti
alien law does not apply to leases
made prior to its enactment in 1921.
The decision affected between 800
and 900 alien land leases made prior
to the passage of the measure.
Judge Griffiths’ decision was in
conflict with one made in June by
Superior Judge Everett Smith who
held that the law was retroactive.
JudgeSmith authorized the state to
confiscate 260 acres of land near Du
vall held by M. Motomatsu. The
Motomatsu lease was made in the
spring of 1921 before the enactmen'
of the anti-alien law. Judge Grif
fiths ruled that Cecil Natsuhara and
O. Makkawa were entitled to their
lease of six acres in the White river
valley as it was made in 1916.

Uncle Sammie Says
Stores Should Keep
Men Different Depts.
WAHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 3 —
Men are cowed by women shoppers.
This statement so often harped upon
by the cartoonists, has been verified
by the U. S. department of commerce,
which issued a bulletin today warning
department stores to give the men a
separate part of the store away from
the women.
“Masculine minority is most ap
parent in a department store with
many women shoppers present,” it
was said. “Men surrounded by wo
men spend little money. Squeezed
in among throngs of women, their
natural inclination is to get out as
soon as possible.”
Best business practices, therefore,
indicate it is better to separate the
men’s department from the rest of
the store and give it a separate en
trance, on the street if possible.
It was also explained why the
hardware, furniture, rugs, hip-boots
and other essentials are in the base
ment or high in the buiilding, while
the bargains are on the street floors.
The buying public will go to any
part of the store to purchase
essentials, it was said. The purchase
of a suite of furniture also probably
will be more happily carried out if
the customers is further away from
the bustle of the street.
DEATHS UNEXPLAINED
DENVER, Colo., Jan. 3.—Autopsies

dition. The woman and girl declare

After a month of warm spring wea
ther, the people of Sanak should not
