Death VALLEY NOW
SAFE FOR AUT0ISTS

Death Valley, once the terror
OF the traveller in the Southwest
and the last resting place of many
early day prospectors, is being
made safe for travel both day
and night.
This erstwhile barrier to hui
man progress has been conquered
by the automobile It's trackless
waste of sand has been signpost-
ed and its hidden water holes
marked by Uncle Sam. Not con-
tent with merely making the
desert easy to cross for travellers
in the daylight the Automobile
Club Of Southern California is
going further and is placing signs
in such manner that the rays of
headlights from passing machines
will fall upon them and guide the
might tourist as safely and surely
as the day traveller.
The Automobile Club also will
signpost all lateral routes of the
famous Death Valley district.
Included in the signposting being
done will be a complete set of
road signs directing tourists of
picturesque Palm Canyon, on the
edge OF the desert-one of the
most unique spots in the world.
This oasis in the sandy wastes IS
to be made national monument
by the Government It's distinc-
tive feature is the presence of
ancient palms of weird beauty,
standing in straight rows, APP
parently planted by the hand of
man but antedating history Of

LATEST CLARK PICTURE

The last picture made by Mar
guerite Clark during her recent So
journ in California was "All-of-a-sud-
den Peggy" adapted from Ernest
Denny's stage play by the same
name. It will be shown at the local
theatres Thursday. Following the
filming of this screen comedy, Miss
Clark left for New York to begin
work in the producers Eastern studio.
As is well known, the little player is
the wife OF Lieutenant Fl. Palmerson
Williams, and her trip to California
was in the nature Of a honeymoon.
Now the couple have settled down
in cosy lione, in New York, Miss
Clark's or rather, Mrs. Williams
home town. Of3eougGe, among the
most popular OF the question asked
her on her return was, Glow did you
like California;" And the stars in
evitabIe reply was that, although she
enjoyed the golden West to the full
and was treated royalty, still there
is only one New York.
"Not that I love California less, but
that love New York more, was the
way she paraphrased famous say
ing for one questiOner.

TURN Or FATE BROUGHT
NAZIMOVA TO AMERICA

1t was one of these unaccountable
tricks of fate that brought Nazimova,
the great Russian actress who is now
appearing in stronger Than Death"
coming here Friday, a perturbation
of the novel by I. A. r. Wylie, to this
country for the first time. She left
Russia as leading woman in Paul
Orelenoff's company to tour the Con-
tinent in repertoire. Her most fire.
quent appearances were in "L'Aig-
lon," cara" Camille" "The Second
Mrs. Tanqueary" and several of
Ibsen's plays.
This tour was a brilliant artistic
success, but financial disaster. So
much so, in fact, that Ellen Terry
and company of influential actors
and actresses in London organized a
benefit for the relief of the Russian
players. Orlenoff then brought his
players to this country in 1905 in
the hope of recouping his losses. But
the plays acted in the Russian Ian
guage again proved failure.
Orlenoff returned to Russia, but
Nazimova remainded, needing the
pleas of managers and critics who in
the brief glimpses afforded them had
realized her tremendous powers.

Friends Of Frank o. Lawden point

between the United States and Ger.

to the people of Illinois to uphold

he said. 1--WE can have but one allegi.

appointed q state council of defense,

of $4,000 as against appropriations
for similar purposes in other states

of the Prairie division. In that divi.

MEMORY OF MURDER KILLING
MAN,
Insane He Imagines That His Uncle's
Body is Still Weighing Him to
s. Grave.

Waterloo, Lake Macbeth, VIII
liam Mundfrom's damned spot will
not out"
Crushed by an imaginary burden,
the gastly memory of the burden of
the dead body of his uncle on his
back, Mundfrom is dying in the in
sane department of the state re-
formatory at Anamosa, according to
word that reached here today.
Mundfrom killed Christian Hem
me, his uncle, on the latter's farm
near here, Oct. 9, 1887, and was
given life sentence. He was then
90. He is now So. He confessed that
he choked his uncle, who was old
and weak into Inconsistencies and
then carried his body on his back and
dumped it into a we'll.
In his maniacal condition Mund-
from imagines the body is still on
his back. 1t smothers him at times;
It brushes out his life; he curses
and raves, but the burden will not
lift.
Take it away, take it away" the
maniac shrieks.
"He splashes around good deal.
but the water was cold and he did
not last long" the murderer said in
his confession. There came a plead
fng cry for help, but he did not ans
wer. That last call Of his uncle
sounded in the ears of the prisoner
for years. He has been insane for
nearly thirty years, carrying the
body of his uncle and bent double
under the imaginary weight.

Helping the Profiteers.

A man who attended a manufac-
turer's convention recently reports
that the factories seemed more anxi-
Gus not to get new business than to
take it. They can't fill their orders,
for the reason that production has
fallen off. Great masses of people
are working in an irregular and in
different way. They take days Off
when they want to, and won't keep
regular hours. 1t is no use to dis
charge them, because they can get
jobs somewhere else and they know
It.
A clothing drummer reports that
his last instructions were to sell as
little as possible, and to keep his
orders down as low as he could.
Many manufacturers say that to
discourage getting orders, they put
their prices up to what they consider
a prohibitive figure. But the orders
keep coming in at any old price, and
the people seem willing to pay any,
thing that will be asked. Some of
the big profits now being made in
that industry are due to this situa-
ton. f,
Many people denounce the prof.
teers, and then turn around and by
slowing up production, they play
directly in the profiteers hands. There
is just one way in the world to stop
profteering. 1t can never be stop
ped by legislation. The one way TO
beat it is to turn out such a heavy
production that the supply of all ar
ticles will be ample.
When that happens, the prices OF
everything will go down naturally by
the law of supply and demand. But
prices will never go down until pro-
duction is far greater than it now
is. People who are Stacking on pro.
duetion and doing as little as they
can, may think they are making more
work for themselves, But the prin-
cipai effect of their policy is to put
fortunes in the pockets Of the veal
thy. When goods are scarce, you
can get any old prices for them.
When goods are abundant, they sell
for reasonable or low figures.

LOWDEN FOR ECONOMY
Term as Governor a Record OF
Saving and Efficiency.
Simpifies Management of State At.
fairs With Results Profitable
to the Tax Payers.

The high cost of government has
supplied the supporters of Frank o.
Lowden the platform on which they
are confident he viii be elected presi-
dent of the United States.
Governor Lowden was born on a
farm and worked his way through
school by teaching. He is a product
of the Middle West, having been born
In Minnesota, raised in Iowa and then
coming to Chicago. He worked as a
clerk In a chicago law Office for So a
week while preparing flor his profess
sion. Later he entered politics. He
was thrice elected congressman from
the Thirteenth Illinois district before
voluntarily retiring.
He was elected governor of the
state in 1916 by a tremendous plu-
rality and his record as chief execu-
tive has put him In the list Of presi-
dental possibilities. Friends of the
governor explain that he had to be
dragged into the race for president.
Certainly he does not seem to worry
about the outcome Of the campaign.
81 think one of the greatest needs
of the country today is stronger.
finer. happier Americanism," said Gov
ernor Lowden. 1--WE can compel aliens
to respect our form of government,
or get out and that we must do. At
the same time we are under the pro-
found necessity Of earning that re-
spect from all right thinking men. We
are hearing strong preachments
against prOfiteering and extravaganza.
Yet II is hardly dawning on the pub
lie mind that we can be paying excess
lively for government, as well as for
sugar, meat or fuel
illinois formerly had 125 separate
boards and commissions handling it's
affairs. No one man, no score Of men,
were responsible. A premium was
put on spending.
Under my administration these
bureaus have been consolidated into
nine departments, whose chiefs reside
at the state capital and are held in
dlvidually responsible. One effect of
this has been TO reduce the tax rate
OF the state 33 per cent in two years.
Adoption Of a budget system has been
valuable adjunct In saving the tax
payers money. / think efficiency and
economy in government is one mighty
step In the direction of improved
Americanism."
