SHY ON MILK
IS WHAT THE
AUTHORITY
SAYS

LOS ANGELES, Calf, January 16
Omitted Press. )-There's only one
fifth of quart of milk per day sold
in Los Angeles for every man, wo-
man and child in the city, according
to figures compiled by Mrs. Ella
Bagnall, secretary of the American
Reconstruction League, who has been
investigating the milk situation.
Figures she showed the United
Press gave the milk consumption of
the city as 10000 quarts per day and
estimated the population at 100000
Doctors say every; person should
have quart of milk daily.
"This seems that if 10000 people
get their quart of milk per day."
said Mrs. Bagnall, "then there are
100000 who get none"
She attributed this dispropotionate
milk consumption to high prices.
Milk retails here at 16 to 18 cents
per quart.

(United Press Service)

! (Bmted Press Service)
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania, Jan
uary 49, The first attempt
at revising or amending the present
Pennsylvania state constitution in its
entirely since its drafting in 1878 is
now underway. A body of twenty
five prominent statesmen, farmers.
constitutional experts, students,
forestry and county boundary line ex-
perts have been given the task. The
body, the Commission on Constitu-
tional Amendment and Revision, was
appointed by Gov. William C. Sproul
under an act Of the last state legisla-
ture.
Many attempts have been made be-
fore the legislative bodies to obtain
amendments but this is the first time
body of men has sat to go over the
organic laws of the state in their en-
tirety, to study them and make such
revisions and amendments as they see
fit, to be recommended to the legisla-
ture, of 1921. Should such amend
ments and revisions be accepted by
the legislature, the question Of a
Constitutional Convention will be put
to the people at the 1921 elections
and if accepted, the legislature of
1923 will authorize the Convention.

GREAT ATHLETIC
FIELD PLANNED
AT PASADENA

LOS ANGELES, Calf, January 16
UNITED Press.)-A vast athletic
field, rivalling the famous Yale bowl,
to be the home of the great east
west football classic played annual
ly at Pasadena, is being planned by
leading businessmen.
The Harvard Oregon game New
Years Day proved beyond a doubt
that Tournament park with its $4,000
seating capacity, is to small to sur
round the football fans who flock to
the southland to see the great game.
Every year attendance has increased.
With the success of this years game
it is predicted that next year the

bucket to those who will want to at

EXPORTED BOOZE
WILL Be BARRED
FROM RETURNING

LOS ANGELES, Calf, January Is.
Omitted Press. )-Anticipating at
Ntempts of persons who have exported
large quantities of liquor to Mexico
to return the joyous liquid to this
country after January 16, Collector
of Customs John B. Elliott has laid
plans for tightening the net along the
Mexican line.
Col. Charles F. Hutchins, who gain.
ed his experience in holding lines
while fighting Germans at the head
Of the 160th infantry, has been as
signed by Elliott to the task of keep
ing Demon Rum on the southern side
of the international line. Hutchins
now is a deputy in Elliott's office.
Plans for the anti-liquor smuggling
campaign started several weeks ago.
Deputies from other districts have
been assigned to the southern Cali
fofnia customs office to assist in
keeping the border liquor proof.
During the last two months large
quantities of liquor are known to
have been shipped into Lower Calf
fornia and Mexico from Los Angeles
as wei! as other cities. Federal of
ficials feel they are justified in be-
lieving that attempts will be made
to smuggle much of this liquor back
into the United States after con-
stiturional prohibition is effective.

up of suspected radicals. This dis.
closure silenced unjust and ill-advised
criticism, whether in Chicago or else
where, and public commentator of
the stern measures of the depart
ment supplanted it Immediately.
Approval of the firm policy of the
government as it relates to suppress
sibn of radical and anarchistic ten
denotes is found in Congress as we'll
as the country at large. It is be-
lieved, therefore, that Congress will
feel impelled to give to the executive
departments whatever sums may lie
needed for carrying on the vital
work.
There is no doubt that much of the
secret service machinery Of the gov
ernment will continue to operate
against radicalism wherever it may
be found. This campaign is regard
Ell d, one of unusual Importance, and
hundreds of operatives of the Depart
ment of Justice and the Department
of Labor have been assigned to the
war on the "reds". That there will
be further deportations of alien rad
icals as soon as clear-out cases are
established against suspected persons
is generally expected. The govern
ment is determined to move speedily
and vigorously against any alien who
by word or act encourages disloyalty
to the American Government.

NOCALES THEATRE
SC0R CHED BY
FIRE YESTERDAY

About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
an alarm of fire called the Fire De-
partment to the Nogales Theatre,
which was on fire at the stage end of
the structure, on Nelson Avenue. The
fire was extinguished very quickly,
the fire department doing good and
effective work. But considerable
damage was done. The costly ven
tilating apparatus. which cost $1,000
is reported irreparably damaged,
while stage settings, scenery, etc, suf-
fered. Total loss is estimated at
$4,000.
At the time the fire occurred there
was large audience. No excite
ment or panic occurred, and all moved
out from the building with as much
circumspection as if dismissed at the
close OF an exhibition.
The fire was due to a defective
chimney, made from tiling and asbes-
tos. The asbestos had broken and
separated, letting sparks fall through
the tile thence down to the upper part
of the ceiling over the back part of
the building. 1t will not take long
to repair the damage after insurance
adjustments have been made. In fact
the vital parts of the mechanism are
all intact: cinemetograph machine,
screen, films, etc., and a show could
have been given within an hour after
the fire was put out; but everything
must await insurance adjustment.
Manager Diamos has arranged, and
began at once, to transfer the busi-
ness of the Nogales Theatre to the
Royal; and the show that would have
been at the Nogales today will be
presented at the Royal. Attractions
booked for the later theatre will go
down to the Lyric and be shown there.
Announcement appears in '"The
Screen" column on the third page.

EFFICIENT WORK

The Nogales Fire Department is
entitled to the warmest praise for the
quick and efficient work done at the

prompt work done the entire struc-

WASHINGTON, January 16. -
| The vigorous campaign of the gov
ernment against radicalism is meet
ing with countrywide approval and
if Congress grants the appropriation
just requested by the Department of
Labor the roundup of "reds" will
continue with increased vigor and
scope.
Following raids by the Department
of Justice which resulted in the ar
rest of more than 5000 persons sus-
pected of radical tendencies the De-
partment of Labor submitted to Con-
gress, when it re-assembled this
week, estimates for an appropriation
of $1,000,000 for the enforcement of
Laws against alien radicals and
$150,000 for expenses of their de-
portation. "%
The Department of Labor also asks
deficiency appropriation of $780,
900 to continue its work of regulating
immigration.
The commendable activities of the
Department of Justice in arresting
suspected alien radicals and in the
seizure of tons Of Objectionable
literature and propaganda matter, to-
gether with the estimates submitted
by the Department Of Labor, reveal
the intent of the administration to
pursue relentlessly the campaign
against radicalism. Aliens who
preach overthrow of government and
violence, or who indulge in inflam-
matory utterances against American
laws and institutions. will come inn
mediately under the surveillance of
agents of. Government and will be ar
rested whenever their activities reach
point where they are regarded as
inimical to the public welfare.
Within the past week agents of the
Department of Justice and the i'm
migration authorities have been max
ing arrests in scores of American
communities. 1t is significant that
these "raids" were so we'll conducted
that they came as a surprise to the
radicals as well as the country at
large. A chorus of commendation in
all sections of the United States fol-
lowed the first announcement of the
roundup.
The efficiency and systematic plan
ming Of the Department of Justice,
which reached out it's hand at
practically the same hour throughout
the country, was shown by the Chi
cago incident. A state official in
that city criticized the Attorney Cen
eral of the United States for not as
slsting the state authorities in
small roundup of radicals in Chi
cago. Under this criticism the De-
partment of Justice remained silent
for a few hours, knowing that it's
plans were already laid for stimuli
taneous raids in Chicago and else
where. This program, of course,
which had been in making for days,
could not be disvlosed to the public.
At the appointed hour the agents of
the Attorney General began making
wholesale arrests and Saizino ro d;oo1
literature in practically every large
city, including Chicago.
The wholesale arrests of the De-
partment of Justice showed that it's
surveillance had extended from coast
to coast and that its agents were
merely awaiting the opportune time
for beginning the systematic round
