A large proportion can main

that nourishing food is sacrificed

Electric Lights
Bad for Trees?

Whether electric illumination
is beneficial or destructive to veg
citation became the subject of a
strenuous debate in the council
chambers today, when a dozen
business men came forward to
argue over the installation of or
namental street lights on Aims
worth avenue.
Marshall u. Smell wanted the
council only to install three lights
TO the block instead of four, be-
cause the illumination, he said,
would interfere with the growth
of trees and shrubs.
John Schlarb, Alex Fulton,
George Laws and others, argued
that electricity was being used
these days to assist in develop
ment of vegetation.
well, it hurts evergreen trees,
anyway" said Smell.
The council decided to reduce
the number of lights from four to
three.
There will be another hearing
in two weeks.
The circuit would extend on
Ainsworth ave. from Nerth Steele
to South 10th streets.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, April "a.
Swat the gasoline hog!" is the
battle cry which is sweeping Cali
fornia and promises to be heard
in the state legislature with suf-
ficient clarity to lower the price
of gasoline in California.
Started by the Los Angeles
Record, steps are being taken by
legislators and civic bodies to re-
duce the present inflated price OF
gasoline to somewhere near a
moderate figure and to arrange
for protection against future in
creases.
The people are taking the stand
that gasoline is a public neces-
sity.
They are asking the legisla-
ture to declare the gigantic gaso-
line and oil companies in this
state to be public utility corpora
tions, subject to regulation by
either the state railroad commits
sion or the public utilities COM
mission. They want this action
taken regardless of what federal
authorities may do.
In reply to queries regarding
his attitude in the movement.
Governor johnson said he would
cooperate as far as his power
permitted, but expressed the opin-
ion that the matter was one for
the federal government to handle.

ahead with its fight. Mass meet

The causes of the disease are
given as follows:
Inadequate Diet Blamed.
The occupational hazards of
disease; irregularity of employ

living; the employment of women
in industry under modern condi-

married women; and the econ

large proportion of wage workers
and their families are placed as
the result of low wages and in

The report makes it clear that

cause of disease overshadows all
