varieties had probably been introduced
from time to time since the early
colonial days, none had remained in
cultivation.
THE first permanent introductiOna
were the two durras, brown durra and
white durra, which reached Califor-
MIA in 1874 under the names brown
Egyptian corn and white Egyptian
corn On account of it's earliness and
drought resistance the white variety
became popular in the central plains
region during two different series of
dry years. The first was from 1880 to
1854, when it was known as rice corn

PARK WORKERS UP IN ARMS
No Pay for Sundays and Holidays
the Cause of Discomfort.

Protests have been made TO Park Com
missioner Slower by laborers OF the de-
partment regarding the action OF Con-
troller Prendergast in refusing 10 pay Tor
work done on Sundays ard holidays or TOT
any overtime In view of the fact that
tho recent snowstorms have made extra
work imperative, the employees say that
much damage to the parks Will result
therefrom.
The department employees heretofore have
worked seven days a week, being paid 81 80
a day and "docked" whenever they chose
TO take a day off. 1t is reported that Con-
troler Prendergast says he has no objec-
tions TO their working on Sundays or over
time. but that he will not pay for sucn
services.
It is charged by the menagerie force that
through this action of the Controller the
Central Park menagerie IL left unsuarded
every Sunday night For many years II
has been the duty Of Louis Seaboid To re-
main on the menagerie premises seven
nights a week There is time CLOCK IN
the arsenal where he has had to register
every hour.
.It is n danger to the community to per-
an official Of the Park Department yester-
dav "Why hasn't 1t been extravaganza
before now to keep man on the job for
seven days? At present the Keepers are
working extra. for no pay, In order 10 MI
in necessary overtime"
Another employe. voicing the opinion OF
a large force, asked:
"Who is the Commissioner OF Parks
Prendergast or Slower? That's what We
al, want to know. 1t is just as necessary
to keep men at work In the parks on sun
day as IT is any other day. What wouiu
be the condition of the streets If sunday
work was stopped? 1t is almost the same
proposition as regards the parks OF ths
city"
The employees said they could get only a a
promise from Commissioner stover 10 see
Controller Prendergast. e..
