EXCESS PRICES
+. ARE ANALYZE['D
Statement And Suggestion,
By National Council
Of Defense.

A statement from the council Of
national defense regarding the high
cost of living was received today by
l.. w. Myers, secretary of the Com
mercial club with the request hat he
give it all possible publicity.
The statement ,of the council re-
garding its findings on the causes. and
remedy for the present high costs is
in part as follows:
To the Public:
The United States Council Of Ma
tional Defense, composed Of the Sec
%retaries of War, Navy. Interior, Agri-
culture, Commerce and Labor, has
made a careful investigation Of the
high-cost-of living problem. and
finds:
That the Nations productive powers
have not been fully utilized since the
armistice.'
That too few goods, notably the ne
cessities of life. have been produced.
and that ven some of these goods
have been withheld from the market,
and therefore from the people.
That the high cost of living ID due
in part to unavoidable war waste and
increase of money and credit.
That there has been and is consid-
cradle ~proiteering, intentional and
unintentional. The Council believes
that the remedies for the. situation
are:
To produce more goods. and to pro-
duce them in proportion to the needs
of the people.
To stamp out profteering and stop
unnecessary boarding.
To enforce vigorously present laws
and promptly to enact such further
new laws as are necessary to prevent
and punish ~profteertng and needless
boarding.
To bring about better cooperation
and method in distributing and mar
keting goods.
To keep both producer and con-
sumner fully informed as to what goods
are needed and as to what supplies
are available, SO That production may
anticipate the country's demands.

club, held last night in the public
library, DR.. o. A. Bush read a paper
on Tobacco Smoking and Mental
Efficiency" arriving, as the result of
a series of tests, at the conclusion
that the habitual use Of tobacco has
a tendency to decrease mental eff
ficiency. ~
His remarks were based on a rec
ord Of tests which he had made with
twenty young men in order to de-
termine the effect of tobacco smok-
ing. The tests, largely psychological,
were made both before and after
smoking, and showed a decrease in
mental efficiency averaging ten per
cent.

[ Large Family
Left Homeless

A widow with seven dependent chill
dren was made homeless this after
noon when a fire destroyed every
thing she had, including home and
furnishings.
Mrs. Estella Benjamin, 366 Orange
is the simple address she had. Now
she is in the street with her loved lit
tie ones, and no home as yet for the
night.
She took in washing to earn a liv-
ing and she worked faithfully to
bring the tiny tots up, as loving
mother usually does. She didn't seek
aims; she was not an object of char
ity; there was no sign of distress i'll
her voice and manner, yet this even
ing, if there is one living being in
Ell Centre in need of sympathy and
substantial aid, it is this woman with
her seven little ones.
She was engaged in her work and
in one Of the rooms was an oil stove
burning as usual. 1t was necessary
to step in an adjoining room for a
moment-and then the flames burst
out and before relief could be had
she was homeless.
The Fire Department responded
promptly, but the inflammable ma
ture of the contents of the place gave
such an advantage to the fire that
the department was of no avail.
The oldest of the children is sew
enteen and the youngest baby of a
little more than two years. 1t has
been intimated that possibly the Elks
may step in, with their customary
thoughtfulnees, and aid Mrs. Benaj-
min until she can get another start.
The case is one deserving the at
tention of liberal hearted citizens and
The Press believes there will be a
response from somewhere.
The fire occurred at 2:15 o'clock
this afternoon.

FOR DAMAGES
FOR ALLEGED
FALSE ARREST
Wealthy Imperial Valley
Rancher Is Made Defen-
dant by Action Instituted
in Superior Court.

Echoes of recent arrest, which
brought the criticism of the trial
court, were heard at the county
clerks office today when Attorney
Clerence B. Conlin, for R. A. Han
sen, a rancher, filed suit for $4,000
damages against Mario Delthe,
wealthy business man and farmer.
In his complaint Hansen alleges
malicious prosecution and false i'm
prisonment. He was confined in the
county Jail for more than month
awaiting trial of charges of attempt
ing to dispose of mortgaged prop
erty.
According to the plaintiffs legal
representative, Justice Mayfield,
when the matter was brought to his
attention in the preliminary hearing,
discharged Hansen and recommended
an investigation by the district at
torney's office of the circumstances
of the arrest.
Hansen was cleared of the charges
against him. He alleges that the de-
PENDANT in the damage action is per-
scouting instead of prosecuting him.
The case will come to trial short
ly.

BECK OF ROMANCE
SENDS YOUTH TO
SAN Quentin

His plea for clemency failing,
Charlie Hall, we'll known Mexicali and
CaleXico character, was today SEN
fenced by Judge Cole in Superior
court to serve term not exceeding
five years in the state penitentiary
at San Quentin. Hall pleaded guilty
to the charge of damaging the Ell
Centre city Jail.
The youthful prisoner, who adj
mitted having served term in the
New Mexico state prison, pleaded for
the mercy of the court on the ground
that an injury to the head, sus-
tanned when ne was years old, had
left him in a bad mental condition.
He declared that he had been kicked
by a horse and that the blow had
incapacitated him mentally.
Back of the legal phraesology of
the case is story OF romance in
volving the prisoner and young
woman, who is said to have been a
denizen of the MeXicali dance halls.
The girl, still in her teens, was ar
rested by local officers and placed
in the city Jail to await trial.
Hall, at the beck of romance and
like a good partner" as he phrased
it, procured her freedom by saving
hole in the wooden walls of the
Jail building and aided her. to es
cape. They were arrested two days
later in Imperial.
Untrue to the god of love, the cir
turned on her sutton and after then
second arrest she turned states eyi
dence, thus securing immunity from
punishment on the charge originally
preferred.

Negro Makes
Unique Plea

"Ah h'ain't got enough sense to
peddle booze. I'd done guy myself
away wifi ma breaff."
This was a part of the unique de-
Tense made by John Allen, typical
Alabama darkey, when he was called
before Judge Franklin j. Cole in Su-
perior court this morning on charge
of violating the county liquor ordi-
nance. The answer came in response
to question by the court.
Although the prisoner brought
strong recommendations from his
employers and county officials, the
court imposed a fine of 500 or three
months in the county Jail.
Allen pleaded guilty to having five
bottles of whisky and two of wine in
his possession.
