An Intellectual Treat

The greatest intellectual and educa.
tional lecture ever given by a woman in
Penlis Grove WAS that by Mrs. Ida
Crouch H~azlett, of Denver, Col, in Odd
fellows Hall last Saturday night.
She traced the industry of mankind
from the beginning with the thumb and
hngers to the inventor OF the greatest
complicated machinery. As one set OF
Incl made more than their personal
needs, trades and commerce grew until
the strife for the profits led to most all
the wars III history. 1t was not the
small amount OF tax on tea that caused
the American revolution, but prohibiting
tine manufacturing of goods in the col
ONES. The British Parliament made
laws compelling all raw materials TO be
sent TO England for manufacture and the
colonies were forbidden to use no other
but British ships and goods.
The present great war started by Ger
many 10 a commercial trade war. Ger
man industry ls superior, because the
government has provided laws and ways
ior the industrial workers. To meet
them 1t Is necessary that we provide
DETER Tor the Industrial worker of this
nation.
Mrs. Hazlett was a candidate for Com
gress some years ago. At the beginning
she said, it was the women of the central
west and Pacific slope that reelected
President Wilson, because "He kent MS
out OF war" The votes on other can
didates OIL the same ticket were zoe. 600

About twenty five heard the industrial

nearing anything new or stamped with

hear such educational lectures. Eucy-

ATTEMPTS TO
MAP FORTIFICATION
SITES ALONG COAST

Los Angeles, March 12.-Federal Of
ficers today began an investigation of
what they believe may have been an
unsuccessful plot to map the possible
fortification sites of southern Cali
fornia for a foreign government. This
followed the receipt from Chief of
Police Cole of military sketches, a
diary, German book and number
of personal effects, besides a skeleton
discovered by a. Long Beach hiking
party near Glendora.
The Long Beach authorities believe
the skeleton is that of a young Ger
man officer, and hint that Teuton ac-
tivities in this country were under
way six years ago, according to the
diary, whose last entry was dated
April 6, 1911. The maps are said to be
the work of a trained military man,
and all lettering is in code. 1t is be-
lieved the mysterious man committed
suicide.

Street CAR MANAGER
SHOT BY italian Who
WAS INJURED ON LINE

San Diego, Cal, March IL
William Clayton, vice president
and general manager of the
Spreckels companies, owning the
street car system and other big
public utilities of the San Diego
bay district, was shot shortly aft
er noon today by Lorenzo Bellomo.
The extent of his injuries or the
cause of the attack is not yet
known.
Clayton was stepping into his
automobile when the man walk
ed up and fired twice. Clayton
fell into the arms of Horton Titus,
an attorney. The assailant hand
ed his revolver to a policeman as
Clayton was rushed to hospital.
One shot caught Clayton in the
pit of the stomach. Bystanders
say that when the shots were fired
the injured man whirled and ex-
claimed: II am shot, Go get
him."
Bellomo said he came from Los
Angeles expressly to shoot Clay
ton. He is an Italian. He told
the police he lost one foot in a
street car accident here six years
ago.
