SEA SHALL INDUSTRY
PROFITS INDIVIDUALS
Contention Made City Should
Gain by Operations of Fed
eraI Dredger

Lieut.. Charles T. Leeds, in charge of
the United States engineering office
at Los Angeles, has discovered that
somebody is reaping considerable profit
from the sale of shells, dug up by the
dredges constructing Los Angeles har-
Dor, and there has arisen a question as
to who has a right to control the col
lection and sale of these shells.
Several Japanese. accosted the other
day by Lieutenant Leeds, when he
found them disposing of number of
barrels of shells, said John Gaftey
told them to get the shells"
Inquiries made at Smiths island,
where many barrels of shells have been
gathered, brought out the information
that Ganey, who recently erected
what he called shell storage plant"
is harvesting many shells.
It is said in Los Angeles that shells
such as are gathered at Los Angeles
harbor are worth about Sc a ton.
Whether Gaffey is endeavoring to cor
ner the shell industry remains to be
seen; but if so, the question asked by
the engineers is-what right has he to
do so?
The turning basin at Los Angeles,
where the dredges are now busy eX-
NdNdllnEs tolAAdlliH uQildl Gus VI bciA AtAS
of shells, and at Sc a ton somebody
should have the right to dispose of
them.
If the shells belong to Los Angeles
city. the city should derive a revenue
from their sale, which in the course of
the harbor construction, where a vast
amount of dredging will be done. and
hundreds of barrels of shells will be
piled up on the reclaimable lands, will
amount to a considerable sum.
c. w. Cook, engineer of the ped
rioto," told Engineer Leeds he had
sent his son to Smiths island to gather
shells but the boy had been told by
the Japanese there, who said Gaffey
gave them control, to stay away, un-
less Mr.. Gaffey sent him. 1t is said
Gaffey later admitted he was in the
shell business, and that he informed
the boy he would have to pay $3.50 a
ton for the shells on Smiths island, or
cents a ton for shells on Terminal
island,
The Los Angeles board of public
works denies that any permits have
been issued to Gaffey or to anyone
else.

JUDICIAL MIND BAFFLED
BY FRESH EGG PROBLEM
Justice Of Peace Ling Finds Al
hambra Case Difficult of
Determination

Hearing of the predicament of JUS
tice of the Peace Ling in endeavoring
to solve the knotty problem of what is
a fresh egg. in connection with a
charge against George Johnson and c.
G. Hershman, Alhambra grocers, offer
ing for sale unlabeled eggs, a farmer
from Eel Monte called at the magis-
trate's chambers yesterday with a bas-
ket of eggs which he declared were
fresh, and offered his assistance to the
Judge in reaching a solution.
With his recently acquired knowledge
of eggology, Justice Ling, after care
ful examination, declared the eggs not
to be fresh. After eXpounding upon the
different phases of the question, the
farmer left the chambers with apparent
disgust of his own knowledge of eggs
compared with that of the judge.
Unlike his own self with a habit of
radiatng smiles, the judge now wears
a deep froWn and seems to have no
interest in life, not even for his nomin-
alton as superior court judge, other
than deciding the mighty problem be-
fore him.
He has made trips to hatcheries, egg
ories. consulted gamblers and resorted
to many other means of reaching a
definite opinion, without avail He is
just as far from a conclusion as when
he started.
when is an egg fresh?" is a ques-
ton which has been propounded to al
most every one he meets and those who
venture into his court room. But they
merely turn aside and keep him guess
ing.
I'm going to take the briefs submit
ted in the case and all the evidence
which I have on the matter and go into
the country for a few days to decide
this question:" he replied with disgust
and sarcasm when asked if he had
| reached a decision.

POLITICS S|zzLE IN
ANNANDALE DISTRICT
Effort to Defeat Members of the
School Board Causes
Much Excitement

Things are sizzling in the Annandale
school district, and the election Of the
board of school directors which takes
place today promises to be one Of the
hottest fights i'm the history of the COM
munity. Miss Mary Foy, the incum-
bent, who is running for reelection to
the board, began and ended her cam
paign last night with a mass meeting
in the city hall of Annandale, About
one hundred of the three hundred
voters in this district were present and
listened to Miss Foy's statement of her
platform, and also to an eloquent ad-
dress by Clara Shortridge FoltZ.
The fight for places on the board Is
betWeeen what are known as citizens
committees candidates, X. A. Throop
and \. c. Davis, and the present mem
bers of the board. Miss Foy and w. +.
White. The two former candidates
have been in the field for only
short time, and We're nominated, it is
said. because of some dissatisfaction
as to the manner i'm which the old
board spent bond money voted a short
time ago.
The old members of the board had
not expected any opposition to their
reelection, and for this reason had
made no campaign Whatever other
than submitting their past record TO
the voters. and when the new candi-
dates came itno the field they were
greatly surprised.
The meeting last night was an en-
thusiastic one. and Miss Foy was given
a hearty reception. Mrs. Foltz was
the only speaker besides the candidate,
and her address. while short. went
straight to the point and apparently
clnched many votes for Miss Foy.
She brought out in the course of her
remarks how the direction Of the
schools was by right the privilege of
women instead of men. and declared
that should the schools Of the United
states be conducted entirely by women
the Juvenile courts houses of correc-
tion and even state prisons would
gradually disappear.
The election will he held today and
it is expected that fully three hundred
ballots will be cast-the entire voting
strength of the Annandale district.

As FIERCE LION LURKS
Wild Animal Kills Cattle in Puente
HiIIS-ChiIdren Kept

Killing hundreds of dollars worth of
cattle and calves a mountain lion.
driven from its rocky retreat by hun
ger. has terrorized farmers of the
Puente hills back of La Habra for the
mast week. Mothers of the district
are keeping their children indoors and
the little ones are allowed to go to
school only when accompanied by men
with guns.
Four days ago the lion killed a dozen
young cattle of the Puente Oil COM
pany, which has a large ranch about
two miles from La Habra. Since then
signs of its destructive madness nave
been seen on many ranches. Armed
farmers are protecting their homes and
watching for the beast, hoping to pre-
vent it from finding human prey among
their families.
William Roland and a rancher named
Crezeda have offered a reward of 800
for the death of the animal. James

Farmers Bulletin 419. U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Various questions which have to do
with sweet potatoes have been studied
at agricultural experiment stations in
States where this crop is an important
one and valuable data have been ac-
cumulated regarding varieties, meth
DDS of cultivation, the Importance of
sweet potatoes as food for man and
domestic animals, and their use for
starch making and other purposes.
The food value of the sweet potato
has received attention in connection
with the nutrition investigations Of
the Office of Experiment Stations, and
data regarding the nutrition value, di-
gestibility, and other topics have been
discussed in comparison with similar
food products in a Farmers Bulletin
dealing with potatoes and other root
crops used as food. In a department
publication dealing with the general
question of the sweet-potato industry,
information was summarized regard
ing different methods of preparing this
vegetable for the table
AS regards its general composition,
the sweet potato differs from the or
binary white or Irish potato chiefly
in possessing a little less water and
protein and considerably more carbo-
hydrates (starches and sugars). A
more important difference is found in
the nature of the carbohydrates, sweet
potatoes containing considerable guam
titles of sugar as well as starch, while
starch is the characteristic carbohy-
drate of white potatoes. The proper
ton Of sugar varies with different va
rieties, the very sweet sirupy yams
being the more popular in certain re-
gions of the South and the drier star
chy potatoes in the northern markets.
The South Carolina Experiment Sta
ton has recently reported the results
of extensive work on the starch con-
tent of sweet potatoes of different va
rleties, and has shown that the drier
the potato the higher the starch con-
tent
When sweet potatoes are prepared
for the table about 20 per cent of the
total weight is removed with the skins.
Most cooks are agreed that the best
results are obtained when they are
cooked for long time, the tubers thus
prepared being sweeter and more pa
latable than those cooked for a short
period, In experimental work which
