BRAWLEY WORKERS
GO OUT ON STRIKE
Especial to The Press.)

BRAWLEY, Jan. 13.-The long eX-
pected break between the members of
the American Fruit Workers associa-
tion and the distributors reached an
open breach today and the workers
walked out. Direct reason for their
action was said to be because the
shippers posted scales calling for 80
cents for tripping, 65 cents for pack
ing and rs cents for lidding. The
price last year and for which the as
sociation has been contending was 60
cents for trimming, Is cents for pack
ing and lidding.
Los Angeles prices are lower this
year and the distributors say they
must make the cut in self f-protection,
while the men say if other prices
come down they are willing to accept
the cut.
Lettuce shpipgitsniswf YcVM,J m

cause Of the strike. The shippers are
endeavoring to fill the vacant places
with other EMPLOYEES. Differences
have been agitated for some time.

KEEP Up THE
HIGH WAYS
(Bv Associated Prcss)

(By Associated PrcSs)
SACRAMENTO, Jan. Is. - The
state highway commission in its BIZ
ennial report submitted to the govern
or today recommends a state tax on
gasoline on truck and automobile traf-
fic.
1t does not seem to be the purpose
of the commission to impose this tax
to meet any deficiency in the state
funds, bu to use the money so de-
rived for the upkeep of the highways,
one half of the money to go to the
state and the other to the county in
which the tax is collected. Members
of the legislature are trying to work
out a feasible plan by which the bur-
den Of the tax will be placed chiefly
on pleasure vehicles and not upon
tractors, trucks and machines ustd by
agriculturalists.
At a meeting of the Red Cross board
held yesterday afternoon at the of
r., fees of the chairman, James w. Glass
ford, matters of very great Importance
were discussed. The social service
work of the organization under the
capable direction of Miss Harris. is
meeting real need in the county
during the winter months, many cases
of sickness and want having been TAX
en- care of as well as caring for re-
ourements of ex-service men and
their families.
Mrs. Violette S. Campbell brought
before the board the matter Of assist
ing the Farm Bureau Home Depart
mcnt in the securing and employment
of nurse to make survey Of. the
rural schools and cooperate with de-
partn.ent in their project of child well
fare about to be undertaken. The
board expressed keen interest in the
matter and the chair appointed COM
mlttee to secure information as to cost
Of the project and inquire into the pos
sibiliy of securing cooperation of the
| Calexico chapter ard the branches Of
the Imperial Valley chapter. Mrs
Campbell. chairman, Miss Harris, So
cal service secretary, Miss Corbin
home demonstrating agent and Miss
Renius, Ell Centre school nurse, make
up the personnel of the committee. An
appropriation for relief work in the
far eastern section of the county was
made by the board. A committee was
authorized to secure wheel chair for
the use of an invalid in great need of
such'a comfort.
Miss Williams who rs in the city
from district headquarters outlined
most interestingly the plan and pur-
rose of a public health center, sug-
gest.ng means of raising funds for
the support of such a center.

"a Mans Home" at
Fort Armstrong Is
Vital Life Drama

A notable cast, vital drama, tense
situations and a powerful lesson
are all included in "a Mans Home. -
a Selznick special, directed by
Ralph Ince, which comes to the Fl
Armstrong theatre tomorrow for a
four-day showing.
The picture wildly depicts the
dramatic upheaval in the home of
Frederick Osborn, who has become
wealthy only after untiring strug-
gle, and is a keen study of the
American self-made man and the
effect of his domineering attitude
upon his family. Osborn's pretty
wife, since the accumulation of
wealth, concerns herself only with
frivolous thoughts and companions.
On a trip east she meets Cordelia
and Jack Wilson, who, unknown to
her, are nothing but a pair Of ad-
venturers. They cunningly con-
nive to blackmail her.
Mrs. Osborn invites the Wilson's
for visit to her home, but Osborn
is suspicious of them, because of
reports he has heard to the effect
that his wife has been spending
her time in bad company.
Jack Wilson has been f1attering
Mrs. Osborn during their acquaint-
ance and believes her to be a shall

low, faithless wife. He makes ad-
vances based upon this supposition,
but is repulsed by Mrs. Osborn
who, coming to her senses, re-
allies that she has been deceived
and angrily upbraids him. In the
midst OF the scene Osborn arrives
and oVerhears the conversation.
He takes a hand in the affair and a
stormy session results. Wilson,
nothing daunted, attempts to carry
out his plans, and one engrossing
situation follows another until a
thrilling and dramatic climax is
reached.
The cast selected to interpret the
various roles is one OF the most
notable ever seen on the screen.
The list is headed by Harry T.
Morey, who portrays the husband,
and Kathryn Williams, a screen
faVorite of many years, who plays
the irresponsible wife Grace Val
entine and Roland Bottomley are
cast as the two adventures and
Matt Moore and Faire Binney as
the youthful lovers. The produc-
ton was directed by Ralph Ince,
whose past successes have stamp
ed him one of the greatest direc-
tors of the silent drama.

BY SPEARMAN LEWIS.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Chicago's most
rapturous opera season reaches
the halfway post Sunday, and
Monday enters the sixth week Of
its ten-week season in its native
city. AS if to challenge the dis
tracing elements Of holiday sea-
son, Mary Garden has dipped deep
in her bag of novelties and re
vivals, fairly dazzling an expecta1t
public with the brilliancy of the
repertoire.
First comes a stupendous reviv-
al of "Salome," set for Monday
night, Dec 49, So sure is Miss
Garden that the tragic story of the
willful daughter of Herodias needs
no aftermath to complete an eve
ning's bill, she has announced the
elimination of the customary Tin
America) ballet advertisement. A
further warning that none will be
seated after the curtain rises at
$50 p. m. has been given the pub
lie In the famous Strauss music
drama OF one act, after the poem
by Oscar Wilde, Muratore will re-
sumo in this country the role of
Herod, in which he and Miss Gar
den starred for 100 performances
at the National opera, Paris. Duff
ranne and Reynolds are among the
principals in the imposing cast.
Polacco will conduct the augment
ed orchestra
Tuesday night, Dec. 20, comes
Galli-Curci again to the scene of
her first triumph, singing LA Ira
viata," with the always charming
Tito Schipa as Alfred, and Joseph
Schwarz, as Germont, the father.
No role suits Curci's marvellous COL
oratura better than that known to
the reading public as Camille
and notable homecoming is an
ticipated. Again Polacco conducts.

The world seems to stop in it,
rush
And my aching eyes fill and moisten
until
Thy presence is felt in the hush.
Oh. it's only step through the short
misty years.
Back through the months quickly
flown.
TO the wonderful days when you
joined in our plays,
And the glimpses of Heaven we've
known.
Back when the touch of thy garment
Gave thrill we can still feel TODAY,
When the sound of thy voice made us
laugh and rejoice
AS We frolicked about thee in play.
Rack when we cling to thy apron
Secure that, there, naught was 6.
amiss,
'or all sorrow and pain and troubles
must wane
At the touch of thy magical kiss.
And fain would we clasp thee now,

iaallv, morally, spiritually, and f.
inancial. We cannot do too much in
