TWo California Counties Making
 Faces atEaCh Othe2
IAssoCIATEp PRESS pIsPATCHl

SACRAMENTO, March 13.-Yolo and Sacramento counties stood on opposite sides of the Sacramento River and made faces at each other today, while the angry army of the unemployed basked in the sunshine and fished for catfish. The army was not so much as jostled. in spite Of the stern ultimatums delivered yesterday that the unemployed must move.
 The Sacramento citizens committee has withdrawn it's offer to pay the transportation of the army out of the district. Yolo County says the army is only costing them s25 per day, while it is costing Sacramento $2,000 to maintain the guards.
 The army can not move because sheriffs of the surrounding counties are ready with shotguns and pick handles.
 The authorities of Sacramento COun- ty are unwilling to let the unem- ployed pass through in small bands toward the Nevada state line. on the ground that the army would form again as soon as they travelled few miles. Governor Oddie of Nevada is ready to call out the militia if it comes across the state line.

 Fifteen women have already been treated by us. Our first feminine ap- plicant was a chorus girl, who began ruffing cigarettes in a spirit of bra vado. One of her associates taught her how to inhale, and the habit op- tained such a hold on her that she often rose in the night for smoke. ~
