MORE CHILDREN is
CLEMENCEAU'S PLEA

PARIS, March 9.-Former Premier
I Clemenceaus pithy advice to the
French on his last speaking tour:
PAY your taxes and have children,
has been followed by crystallizing
of sentiment for prompt remedies to
the gradually decreasing bitthrate.
'How to save France" and like
phrases are being used IN vigorous
campaign by the National Alliance,
organized to fight birth control and. to
encourage the increase of population
by making it an honor to have large
families and by giving bonuses for&all
children after the second.
Pictures are being used by the Al
lance comparing France and Ger
many, showing how Frances almost
stationary population in past decades
and it's present decreases threaten the
nation and, it is added, France is lost;
nothing can save a nation that COM
mits suicide" unless present condi-
tions are changed Illustrations are
given to show that it is possible for
race to die out or become so weak
as to be engulfed in a sudden influx
of foreigners. Other pictures contrast
the indulgent attitude toward lrregu-
lar life with the opprobrium, that. il
is urged, should attach to such con-
duct.

CONCERNING THOSE BIDS.

From the prices submitted yesterday to the board of
supervisors by various bidders that Imperial
county highways going cost too much In the opinion
of of the members of the board the bids were too
high Certainly there wide in price from $4,000
to S45, 900 mile.
At the time does not that the county is
going get dollar for dollar for its Other COM
muntes building their roads at prices far less than the
bids for Imperial Valley highways.
There many disadvantages to the force account
system.
There also disadvantages to the contracting system
It would that here is a knotty problem for the
supervisors to ponder over.
While the highway commission has been delaying
things apparently favorng Warrene and costing the tax
payers thousands of dollars and valuable time the board of
yesterday gave it's best efforts to safeguarding
the county money the of getting dollar for dollar
The board meets Thursday to take some action The
figures before and the cheapest method be
aScertained.

"e31s HOURS LEAVES" AT THE
PALACE THEATER TODAY

Some notable scenes of army camp
life have been accurately portrayed in
''Twenty-three and Half Hours
Leave" the motion picture adapted
from Mary Roberts Rinehart's maga-
zine story in which Doris May and
Douglas MacLean, the new 'lnche stars
make their debut at the Palace theater
today. To secure realism in the ep-
sodeS. Mr.. 1nce made arrangements
with the commanding officer of Camp
Macarthur at San Pedro. Cal. to make
the scenes there. The c. Q. even as
sisted in directing a large part of the
action and had several companies of
soldiers act as extras.
The story is said to be packed with
laughs and deals with the mis-adven-
lures of certain Sergeant Grey, who
falls in love with the daughter of the
colonel of his regiment. 1t is in no
sense of the word a war picture" and
not a single gun is exploded in its five

FAT OPERATIONS ARE
SCOFFED BY DOCTORS

PHILADELPHIA March 9.-Phila-
delphia surgeons scott at the sugges-
tions of operations on fat men to re-
duce their weight. Operations for
the removal of fat" prominent ply
sician said, care not practical. Wher-
ever fat is removed scar-tissue forms.
When this occurs the skin refuses to

persons excessively fat have the
fatty tissue all over their bodies. TO
do any appreciable good in reducing
weight it would be necessary to oper-

Physicians said fat was sometimes

the formation of scar-tissue was bene-
fetal. This has never been done for
the purpose of reducing weight, they

Elevator License Opposed
Proposed Ordinance Said to
Aim to Unionize Operators

lhe committee on general welfare or
the Board Of Aldermen held a public
hearing yesterday on the ordinance
proposed by Alderman George W.
Harris to license all elevator OPERATOR,
The ordinance provides for a 81 fee for
the applicant and fine and imprison-
mcnt for all violators. both employ
ers and employees. Considerable op-
position developed.
Opponents Of the measure contend ed
that the ordinance was not necessary
as building superntendents engage d
the best equipped men and women, and
that safety was the chief considcra
alton. They also declared that the or
d'nance was the result Of a strike of
elevator operators last April which was
not successful and was an effort to
umonlze the operators. The committee
Will consider the ordinance in cxecu.
