AGED FIRE VICTIM
GIVEN NEW HOME

Homeless at o'clock in the morn.
ing, when fire destroyed the home
she had built almost with her own eff
fort and then to have veritable good
Samaritan place her comfortably in
another less than an hour later, is the
experience of Grandma Richardson,
for years a popular woman of Braw-
ley.
Roy Farr was among the first on
the scene when the flames, ignited
from the oil stove over which she was
cooking her breakfast, leaped to the
roof and quickly made ashes of the
humble home which she loved so snnch
and on which she, with her own hands,
had done much Of the construction.
Farr left the scene before the fire
was extinguished and was gone only
half an hour. Then he returned and
presented Grandma with another home
all her own. OF course Grandma is
happy now and Farr has made a
Christmas gift, little in advance, it
is true-but one that will be highly
appreciated by hundreds of friends of
Grandma as well as by herself.

American manufacturers of agricul-
tural machinery are reported to be
meeting severe competition from Ger
man firms in Italy. The German
manufacturers have, it is said, been
able to reduce their price to a point
considerably below that at which de-
liveries can be made from this coun-
Try. The increase in Italian duties on
farm tractors has made it possible for
farmer to buy two Italian machines
for what he would pay for one Ameri-
can machine.

has been given to non-combatant
women and children on both sides of
the Irish struggle. Protestants and
Catholics, Jews and Gentiles, have
worked side by side in national ef-
fort to relieve suffering, and Mr..
Douglas says that the White Cross
is providing one of the "most infiu-
entail forces for promoting the peace
that every Irishman desires"
'It is the suffering of the innocents,
the women and children, that is the
hardest to Witness" said Mr.. Douglas.
No one can estimate what the effects
of constant warfare will be on the
future generations of Irish. There
have been, however, an unprecedented
number of premature births due to
fright on the part of mothers, and
medical men predict that children
born in the days of such desolstiOn
viii grow up heavily handicapped. A
nurse in the south of Ireland told
me that the number of premature
births in her neighbcrhoed has in
creased threefold since the fighting
started in 1920" y
There are but thirty paid workers
in the White Cross. All overhead
expense is borne by the Irish Every
cent contributed by Americans goes
directly for relief work. -.,sa.-

menace of the Colorado's floods.
Into the junk pile has gone also, it
seems, that minor dispute rs to wheth-
er the dam should be built at Boulder
canyon or 800 miles further up, at
Lees Ferry. No word of criticism was
uttered of the Boulder canyon rec

Long Beach, Berkeley, the League of

Russell H. Ballard, general manager
Of the Edison company, took the plat
