URGE BUILDING
OF YUMA HIGHWAY

The following letter has been sent
N. D. Darlington, chairman of the
California highway commission, by
the local Chamber of Commerce:
December 20, 1920.
N. D. Darlington, Chairman,
California Highway Commission,
Union League Building,
Los Angeles, Calf.
Dear Mr.. Darlington:
Enclosed find copies of resolutions
by the directors of this chamber and
the trustees of our city, which show
the intense desire of this community
for the early construction of the Ell
Central Holtville- Yuma highway. We
are not urging this wholly as local
matter, for we believe that the bene-
fits would be greater to the cities of
San Diego and Los Angeles, as those
points would be the destinations of a
very large majority of the people u.s.
ing this road.
We believe the early construction Of
this road is important because Ari-
zona is building from Tucson and
Phoenix to Yuma and the Dixie-Over-
land, the bankhead of the old Spanish
trail highways, are headed for Yuma,
and that city will be the logical gate
way to all California for auto tour
lists Turing the winter months. The
northern roads will be either blocked
with snow or too cold and stormy for
comfortable travel. Even people de-
string to visit the San Joaquin Valley
or the San Francisco and Sacramento
regions would undoubtedly choose
this southern route because of the alb
solute comfort with which the journey
can be made.
1t has been suggested by one of the
most jealous good roads boosters in
California that, if necessary, a 25-
mile strip that can be easily be kept
up for travel, be omitted from each of
the highways from San Diego and Los
Angeles to Ell Centro in the present
construction plans and that the funds
that would be used in their construc-
ton be applied on the Ell Centric Holt
ville-Yuma road. If there are not
sufficient funds to finish all these
roads now, we favor the above sugges-
ton, as We believe it is more import
ant for all interested parties that this
road be built at the earliest possible
date than to have the other two roads

DAUGHTER OF
ACUINALDO IN
U. s. CAPITAL
She Meets Many Wives of Amer
lean Statesmen and
Makes a Hit.

When General Emilio Aguinaido was
leading the Filipino army against the
American forces twenty years ago he
probably little dreamed that some day
a daughter of his would visit the city
of Washington and would be given a
great reception at the famous Con-
gressional Club! And that the wives
of 120 members of the American Con-
gress and two wives of members of the
Presidents cabinet would call upon
her to pay their respects!
But all this actually happened when
Miss Carmen Aguinaldo, his nineteen
year-old daughter, visited Washington
recently. And those wives of the Am.
erican statesmen expressed themselves
as both charmed and surprised at the
refined, tactful, college educated young
miss who greeted them.

full" was the expression Of one con-
gressman's wife. "She was very mod

Prohibition Rebellion Breaks Out
In Upper Michigan, Federal
Official Says.
D, S. AGENTS HELD UP
Corfiscated Wine Taken From Them
After Raid-~offiicaIs Says Armed
Expedition Will Clean Up
Country At Once.

Chicago.-A rebellion against pro-
hibition" has broken out in Iron coun-
ty, Michigan, and the county, led by
its prosecuting attorney, is in open re-
volt against federal authorities, Ma
jor A L. Dalrymple, federal prohlbl-
ton director for the central states has
notified Washington.
Prohibition agents leading a party
of Michigan state contsables were held
up on February 10 by Iron county Of
ficials and wine they had confiscated
taken from them, according to word
brought to Chicago by Leo j. Grove,
of Marquette, supervising prohibition
agent for the Upper Peninsula.
Major Dalrymple appealed to Attor-
ney General Palmer, through Assis-
tant Prohibition Director Gaylord, to
order warrants issued for the arrest
of the prosecutor. two deputy sheriffs,
two police officers and three other
residents of Iron River, mining vii
lage.
While Washington was setting the
legal machinery in motion Major Dali
rymple issued orders for a company
of picked prohibition agents to gather
here, preparatory to starting on an
armed expedition which he declared,
will clean up" Iron county. The
Michigan state cOnstabulary will be
asked to cooperate in the expedition.
TIE attack on Grove and his party
occurred within two miles of the spot
where Captain Marsh OF the >constabu-
larry was recently shot by bootlegger.
Prosecutor Talks.
Iron River, Mich.-"The people up

Such was the sharp reply made by

ney of Iron county, when he learned
that Maj A l.. Dalrymple, prohibition
director of the Central prohibition di-
rector of the Central states had de-
clared Iron county in "Open revolt

Mr. McDonough then went on to tell
his side of the story, stating that he
would more than welcome the federal
officials with a warrant for his arrest
and that it would not require an
armed expedition of dry agents and

WHAT CAUSES INFLUENZA
AND HOW 1T is SPREAD

Psychologists who have studied in
fuenza epidemics in the past have
found in many of the cases very
small rod.shaped germ called, after it's
,lis>oserer. pfaiffer's bacillus. In 9th
or cases Of apparently the same kind Of
disease there were found pneumOcoccl,
the germs Of lober pneumonia. Still
,.lirrs have l}cen caused by strepto-
q. ii. aud by other germs.
Sc eral European observers. on the
a.is Of experience conducted during
h;, last years epidemic, believe that
he germ of influenza is no ordinary
i}ac;gril,n but that it belongs to ii class
of exceedingly small germs spoken of
as lilterahle viruseS. because they can
pass through the pores OF unglazed
porcelain filters.
Q No matter what particular kind OF
germ causes the epidemic. it is now
known that influenza is spread directly
and indirectly from person to person.
However. Judging from experience i'll
other Diseases it is probable that the
germ. whatever its nature. is carried
about not only by those who are i'll
with Influenza hut by persons who may
be entirely well. Everything which
increases personal contact therefore.
should he regarded as factor III
spreading influenza.
II is clear that there are many differ
emf ways in which such germs may be
spread from person to person. ThuS
they may be spread quite directly by
he;ng carried with the air along with
the very small drOplets of mucus eX-
PEELED by coughing. sneezing. forceful
talking. and the like. by one who al
ready has the germs of the disease.
To guard against this mode Of spread.
either directly or indirectly. SOiled
hands. common drinking cups. imprOp-
erIy cleaned eating and drinking uten-
sis IN restaurants. soda fountains. etc.
roller towels. infected food-theSe are
ONLY few of the common vehicles of
germ Transmission. The Use of face
masks appears to make people neglect
their other paths of infection and
therefore such use has not been attend
el with the success predicted for them.
