SUNLAND, Cal, Sept. a. - The
queerest people in the world gath
cred here today to indulge in the first
"Cranks' Convention" ever held
Delegates were called TO order by
Dr. Leroy II. Fry. Of Los Angeles,
who organized the conclave. Every
crank will be given a chance to adj
dress the assemblage OF queer dele

subject that has made a crank OF him.
Scores OF automobile parties mo-

hear the funny people talk.
The convention will last several
days No limit has been set Ac-
commodations were furnished by good
people Of Sunland and Little Sanders,
two communities founded on idealis-
tic principles.
Beneath the deep blue heavens and
stars on a generous shock or yellow

The hay has been arranged in spaced
intervals. The delegates Will furnish

will furnish nuts harvested from the
wild iron nut tree which abounds in
the valley. The floor of the valley is
studded with millions OF round boul-
ders washed down from rocky ra-
vines, which. viewed from a distance,
gives the fantastic impression OF a
huge basket Of nuts having been spill
ed over the whole region.
Some OF the more blase Of the spec
tators even went so far as TO refer
TO this place as sunny Nutland."
One OF the surprises OF the gather
ings was that cranks when they get
together find they are not cranks at
all.

iniidels attended in goodly number
Several models and blue prints Of
perpetual motion mechanisms were
exhibited. Many physical culturists
and sociologlsts were here to say
nothing OF "unappreciated authors %

There were no women cranks, al

..MANzANILLO., NEW DANCE.

"Manzanillo," Mexican dance,
lately recorded by Columbia, is remin-
iscent of the good old days that pre-
coded the Revolution, when the peo-
pie OF Mexico we're filled with the JOY
OF living.
The clever grouping of contrasted
passages open with full orchestra and
castanets. Then follows passage on
single violin, which is taken up by
full brasses and then subdued by
wood-winds.
The music possesses the charm OF
the unusual and so subtly appeals to
the imagination that one can vaguely
visualize the alluring grace OF a
Mexican senorita, swaying with the
fascinating rhythm of the melody.
Here is a record for the patriots
Of 10: Medley of American Patriotic
Airs" a new record from Columbia.
The Columbia Band excels itself in
this string rendition OF the battle
songs OF our forefathers. II those who
believe America is not ready" will
turn this medley loose anywhere in
the U. S. A.. they may have cause for
embarrassment.
We all love to hear these old pa
triotic airs. Even the baby is enough
of a patriot to applaud them

GOOD WORK
FOR SICK WOMEN
The Woman's Medicine Has
Proved Its Worth

When Lydia E. Pinkham's remedies
were first introduced, their curative
powers were doubted and had to be
proved. But the proof came, and grad
ually the use of them spread over the
whole country. Now that hundreds of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from the use
of these medicines, their value has be-
come generally recognized, and Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is
the standard medicine for women.
The following letter is only one of
the thousands on file in the Pinkham
office, at Lynn, Mass, proving that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is an article of great merit as
shown by the results it produces.

NEW YORK FACING
FOOD CONSPIRACY
Allege TrainloadS of Poul-
try Held Up TO Force
High Prices
DISTRICT ATTORNEY
STARTS INQUIRY

NEW YORK, Sept. A conspiracy
to raise food prices because of the
threat OF a nationwide railroad strike
is alleged in letter sent to the Fed
eral authorities here by Joseph J.
Hartigan, commissioner of the mu-
nicipal department Of weights and
measures. One hundred and sixty
carloads OF poultry, about $4,000
chickens. were held up by shippers in
the yards Of three of the large rail-
roads in restraint of trade, Commits
sioner Hartigan informed United
States District Attorney II. Snowden
Marshall, in violation OF the inter-
state commerce act
Il called the attention of the Fed
eral attorney to this situation be-
cause the motive back OF il on the
part OF the shippers is quite obvious"
Mr. Hartigan said. THE days for buy
ing live poultry in New York are We'd
nesday and Thursday. These con-
signments were not released until
Friday morning at 10 o'clock. One
some profit and that other shippers
did the same. The price Of chickens
jumped cents a pound between
Wednesday and Friday. These ship
pers held up these cars until the top
price was reached"
To The Grand Jury.
Those wholesale dealers in live
poultry who have held 100 carloads
Of chickens in New Jersey and Staten
Island railroad yards while the price
was boosted from 10 to &c cents we're
notified to appear Tuesday morning
before District Attorney Swami and
show cause why they should not be
held for the Grand Jury for con-
spiracy in restraint OF trade.
Under the pretense that there
might be a strike" said the District
Attorney, "a combination of whole
sale slaughterers and distributors of
poultry has very evidently entered
into a conspiracy. These men are
responsible for the raise in the price
of poultry over night.
Il believe that the rise in the price
Of most foodstuffs, as in the case oil
poultry. Is all pretense and without
the slightest Justification II stands
to reason that all dealers in foods
throughout the city cannot arrive al
a uniform increase unless there is
some sort of a secret or implied un.
derstanding as to what the new price
will be- Therefore. it does not require
very much imagination to arrive al
the conclusion that conspiracy mus
exist among a combination OF fooC
distributors.
There is an antitrust law in this
State, which fixes penalties for .un
lawful combinations. The strength o
this law-the DOnnelIy Act-will b.
invoked by this Office wherever evi
dence Of unlawful rise in food prices
is found.
when the wholesale poultry deal
ers appear before me on Tuesday
will give them an opportunity to jus
tify their action, il they can. If the!

PARIS. Aug. 3 (By Mail)-The war
promises to end in France what has
constituted in the past the greatest
obstacle to general marriage-name-
ly the dot that is exacted of every
girl who wants a husband.
So deeply is this custom implanted
in French life that any girl whose
parents are not able to provide her
with dot has sIch a small chance
of effecting a marriage as to render
il unworthy Of either consideration or
hope. French women who have come
from families Of modest means, often
have declared that the necessity i'm
posed on them from the earliest mo-
ments OF childhood to save every
penny in the hope of acquiring a
''dot" by the time they reach mar
riageable age really robbed them Of
all that goes to make up girlhood in
the real sense of the word.
While it is generally conceded that
this necessity Of having a dot has
made the French woman the most ef-
ficient and economic home manager
in the world and also relieves her of
"slavedom,' yet it has greatly re-
stricted marriage in France. It has
.entailed also the disadvantage Of
limiting every girls choice to that
particular class in the social and in
tellectual scale to which her dot
will admit her.
Since the beginning of the presen
war, an active propaganda has beef
carried on in France to put marriage
on the American and English basis;
basis purely Of love on which the hus
band also assumes the full response
bility OF providing for his wife ant
children.

establish "dotless" marriages il

FRENCH GIRLS MAY NOT HAVE
MARRIAGE dot" AFTER WAR

their propaganda, they probably would
not succeed. A mother who consented
to her sons marriage to a girl OF mod
est dot" has just withdrawn her con-
sent, saying;
MY boy has since won the Cross Of
the Legion Of Honor and the Croix de
Guerre and he is therefore now worth
more"
Fortunately for the propogandaists
they have recently been able to estab-
lish that they can count upon a certain
great phenomenon that has been re-
peatedly noticed in past wars and that
promises to settle the question OF dots
in France, regardless Of the tenacity
of tradition and the ambitions Of mann
mas with manageable sons.
Statistics have established that fol-
lowing every great war there comes
a marked increase in the number Of
male births over female. The prOpo-
gandists for "dotless" marriages
have therefore been doing a little in
vestigating and find ample cause for
rejoicing. In one Of the maternity hos
pitfalls in Paris in a single day in
May there were % births. of which
21 were boys. In another hospital on
the same day there were II births. of
which l6 were boys. This has been
established as being about the average
for Paris at present The same in
vestigation in the rural districts are
even more encouraging.
While therefore the propogandists
realize that Immediately following the
close Of hostilities the dearth OF men,
brought about through military and
naval losses, will place the groom
very much at a premium, yet they fig
ure that by 1910 and 1850 they can
count on such an abundance of po-
tential grooms and shch a dearth Of
potential brides as to place the lat
ter at a premium regardless OF dots"
