CONTEST
IN CALIFORNIA
INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE

SAN FRANCISCO CAL, May 3-The
hardest fought presidential primary
contested in the history Of California
comes TO a close tonight. Beyond
few final rallies throughout the state

can honors-were resting on their oars.
The issue will be clear cut between
Johnson and Hoover. as no other can
dfdate has entered the California pri-
maries.
Between the hours Of s and ?. m.
tomorrow the largest primary vote
ever cast in the state is expected. In
san Francisco a vote OF 100000 is ex-
pected against 10000 in the presiden-
tial primary OF four years ago. The

cratic vote IS expected to be light.
Under the laws Of California the vo-
ters may ak for and secure republi-
can ballots, no matter how they are
registered ss TO party. Consequently
the primary election tomorrow will
in all probability show a phenomenal
republican vote.
The vote Of the women Is the enigma

You remember, one of the rea-
sons why Jack and Jane and their
friends hurried to Picking was be.
cause they wanted to get the mail
from mother and father back home
in Make Believe town and from
the other folks who had been writ.
ing to them during the trip.
So as soon as he could after the
airplane. landed them in Picking,
Captain Brave left the children
and Ladydear long enough to go
to the U. S. consul's office, where
he nau io;. everyone to send their
letters.
Had Jack and Jane nm@"n What
news one of those letters carrlcu-
the one from mother and father
they wouldn't have been quite so
content to spend their time watch
ing the Chinese folk on the street
and visiting the Chinese stores
while the captain went for the
mail.
AS it was, Jack and Jane were
very much interested in the Chi
nese stores, the storekeepers and
their money. Such queer money.
The coins, which are used like our
pennies and nickels, were round
like our money, but in the center
OF each was a square hole. The
Chinese merchants kept their mon
ey on strings. And then when
Ladydear bought some trinkets.
the children found that ten cents
OF our money was equal to whole
pocketful of the Chinese coins.
Jack and Jane and Ladydear
were waiting in their room at the
hotel when Captain Brave returned
with the letters and handed them
to Ladydear to read. Or course,
Ladydear opened first the one from
mother and father. And what do
you suppose it said? Mother had
written it and it said something
like this:
my Own Dear Little Children:
Il just know you are still hav-
ing the grandest time in the world.
You couldn't help having a good
time with such wonderful friends
as Ladydear and Captain Brave.
! know, too, that you are dreading
the time when you have to come
back to Make Believe town where
you had such a hard time trying
to play because there wasn't any
one to play with. But mother
thinks you had better come home
now.
And mother and father have
such a wonderful surprise for you,
when you do arrive. that you'll for
