TOKIO (AP)--A OO-mlle shop ping expedition, from Jaluit, ono ' of the South Hea Islands, to Toklo, wes recently muda by the He v. C. H.

Mr. Heine reports that con siderable, progress is being made among the natives under the super vision of tho Japanese. Most ot the Germans, he reports, left vol untarily at the beginning of the World war und the rest were de ported when the war ended and the Islands went put under Jap anese inundate. , Now thero is only ono other white on the Island be side Dr. Heine, who Is on Austra lian. There are no hotels and no motion picture shows and no umuseinents, und tho roads nro mere pathways not inure than eight feet wide, cut between tho plunlu tlons und the jungle. "No, tho South Keu Islands are not exactly as painted by the ro mnncers," said Ir. Heine, "ua far as comfortable, living is concerned. Hut It is quite true that the 0600 natives of the Marshall group are an Industrious development of (lie lund. There Is no great weulth and yet thero is no poverty at nil. Some of the native chieftains even liuva private yachts which take them from one island to the other, each oiftt being between 60 and 100 miles apurt. They may even huve planes some day,.

Heine, "and there was. on period shortly after Iho World war1 when for more tnnn a year thd In habitants were without newspapers from the outside world. There had been stories circulated In Sydney and other quarters to tho effect that tho Germans had prepared oluborate fortif teat Ions and secret supply bases In tho South Sea is lands. l'or this reason the Japan ese and other allied powers pro hibited the islanders from any communication with the out-world, and bouts wero allowed to stop only for tho purpose of landing provisions. We heard vaguely about the war from the Hps of tho Bea inen. but it was not until every thing was over that we wero able to get any deflnlto news at all." Lord Mayor's Office About ! 100 Per Cent.

If they ' are rlfcht I hey h-ad to suc cess Ihrourch service. If they are wrong well, the coasts of commerce are strewn with the wrecks of busi nesses that tried to operate under mistaken or deliber ately deceptive policies. We who come into dally con tact with eslablished policies of large Institutions ur6 pro no to take them as mat tern of course, und either upp'-ovc or disapprove of them uncording to our various llghls. Ha rely does it occur lo is to consider the man ' ner of their making or 'the amount of time and 1 nought - sometimes days and weeks of concentrated study that has led to their fuimulutiun und promulgation. The first KUagffs slore difTercd from other sioreo chiefly in the Important parllctilar of its almost unbe lievably low operating cosls. Despite the fact that, it was founded with the avowed d"1crminnllon of elimin ating waste from the distribution costs of foodstuffs, it was difficult to realize at first how much had really he sccompllshefl and the extent lo which the methods employed were destined lo influence retail practices.

Kor Instance, it was discovered thai the savings In operating cosls -as compared to the opeiuling costs of 11m- average retail grocery In themselves constituted u liberal profit. Tho Federal (iuvernment.

In which It was founded and the operating economies effected and one which permitted the new store to do IcislnewM and make a liberal profit on a margin less than the actual costs of the average More. This tact, plus Ihe disposition to share tho sav ings effected with the consumer, enabled 1he firsl Hknggs store lo do a constantly Increasing volume of business und evenlually accumulate surplus sufficient lo war rant the opening of a second store.
