HISTORY sLTGHTLY JAzzED

Two hundred and e~lghty-nlne
years ago Captain John Smith died,
after having laid the foundations
that made possible the First Fami-
lies of Virginia and the long list OF
cigars that are named for Pocahon-
tas.
More things befell John Smith
during his lifetime than the adven-
lures of all the Smiths since his
time combined. Being saved by
lovely women from imminent death
was an old story to him long before
Powhatan's daughter stepped for
ward and said: Save him for me.
l saw him first"
Long before he came to America
as governor general of Virginia,
Smith had sailed and fought n
been saved in every quarter OF the
world, and once, in the presence OF
a Christian and a Turkish army, he
polished off three Moslem cham
pions in succession. Later h Turks
captured him. He was a slave for
a long time, but finally escaped, af-
ter killing his Turkish master.
Then he came to America and call
ed part of it New England.

a Pilgrim who kicked the irst moss

Your 'inaIienable right to life,

But that wonderful Declaration,

AS PROF. FTsHBONE SAYS:

Cheese was first used oy the SIM
pletons in 7942 B. G. as a remedy
for necromancy, but was not en-
ployed as a military weapon before
the reign of Gastritis. the eleventh
Emperor of the Rheumatics. n
early cheeses were made by COM
bining infanticide with a low form
of vortex, and not. as now, OF kao-
lin, juniper, and sturgeon. me
cheese rarely flies or diverts more
than a few meters above the ful-
crum, and so may easily be caught
either with trained laprobes or
knitted in it's sleep. 1t should pc

MAMA,s DARLING

Clever little BERTHE. he is arch and
he is coy,
He was brought up by his mama,
and he's mama's darling boy.
If you get him with the ladies, every

To our clever little BERTHE and his
laughable remarks.
The fellows stand a-scowling wnen
they hear the laughter rise.
And they want to leap on BERTHE,
and they want to black his eyes.
All the lovely ladies love him, and
they crown him king of tricks,
But the fellows want to crown hmi

CHEMISTS SEARCH
FOR GAS SUBSTITUTE
(Bv United Press)

BERKELEY, Nov. II. - Chemists
at the University of California are
hot on the trail of something that
will take the place of gasoline.
"a gasoline substitute must be
found that will be more successful
and practical than any of the substi-
tutes thus far advanced" according
to Prof. D. O'Neill of the University
of California department of chemi-
istry. at is only through chemistry
that such a substitute can be found,
and it is we'll known to chemists that
no substitute now in use will ever
supply the demand"
Prof. O'Neil sees some hope in the
distillation of gasoline from shale. In
connection with that process M. j.
Garvin of the federal bureau of mines
now is investigating the shale beds
of Utah, Wyoming and Nevada. His
research, it is expected, will take a
period of years.

v D R K ON
PESCAOERO
Expected That Matters Will
Not Be Strengthened Out
Within Short Time; En-
tire Board May Go to
Washington Soon.

Legal angles in Mexico are all
that prevent the Imperial Irriga-
ton District from going ahead
with work on the PescaderO Cut in
Mexico. which is expected to lower
the bed of the Colorado river sew
eral feet thus eliminating strain
from the levees higher up, it was
learned today.
Although the secretary of agricul-
ture at Mexico City has wired the
district his permission to make the
cut, it now appears that right of
way from the owner of the land is
necessary before work can start. The
land is controlled from Los Angeles
! by the "Mexican interests" and Gen.
eral Manager F. N. Cronholm has
heen appointed to take the matter of
| the right of way up with them.
Bids for the removal of approxi-
mately 100000 cubic yards of dirt in
this important cut were opened by
The board Tuesday, the lowest being
for AZ 1-2 cents a cubic yard. This
is under the estimate made in Mr..
Cronholm's annual budget. In view
of the fact that work canno: start at
once, the board failed to let any con-
tract and will make the award later.
In case a right of way is refused,
the board is considering it's next
plan of action.
eve want to do this thing peace
fully" declares President ]. S.. Nick
erson, ''but it is my. opinion that in
Mexico the will of athe government
S greater than that of any individ-
ual and that if the right of way is
refused the Mexican government can
go ahead and condemn the land"
Regarding legislation which will be
placed before this coming session of
congress Mr.. Nickerson believes that
it will be necessarr yfor the entire
board to go to Washington but moth
ing will be done until after the visit
of Arthur P. Davis, U. S. reclamation
director, to this city November %.
He is now in Los Angeles and is ex-
pected to make everal important
statements when here next week.

The problem of El Centro's new

JEWS ADDING AMERICAN
LITERATURE.

New York. Considerable
space has been devoted in the To-
cal press to favorable criticism of
a volume just issued from the pen
of Bertha Pearl, under the title of
Sarah and Her Daughter"
which in the opinion of some of
the critics, is a far more truthful
portrayal of the New York ghetto
than anyone has yet succeeded in
drawing.
In spirit of similar apprecia-
ton, mention is made of Conrad
Berkovici's pictures of American
life as portrayed in Romance"
now appearing in number of
the most popular publications.
Boni and Livewright, Berkevici's
publishers promise a great treat
in a new novel they are about to
issue from his pen under the
name of "For a Song" "The
Fiddler" a one-act play by TO-
seph Cherniavsky, cellist Of the
"Zimrah Ensemble" recently pro-
duced at the Irving Place Thea
tire also drew favorable comment.
