Work Progresses Rapidly

Resulting from the conference held
last Tuesday between General Man
ager Chronholm of the Imperial Irri-
cation District and Engineer Mejo-
rada, representing the Mexican Gov
ernment, word was received last eve
ming from Mexico-City withdrawing
all previous objections advanced
against the construction of the Pes
cadero cut. "a
Formal permission was then deliv-
erde to F. N. Chronholmby, the Mex
lean engineer, to proceed with the
work.
Despite the fact that some SO or
GO men were lost by the shut down
on the extension Of the Ockerson Le-
wee railroad to the Pescadero cut,
practically new crew were on the
job this morning and work was re-
sumed as though nothing had hap
pened.
Work will be rushed with the great
est speed from this time on to the eud
that the work may be finished in am
pie time for any flood requirements.

PAVEMENT
Votes to Pave a Number of
City Streets in Near Flu
ture; Defective COnstruc-
ton Found on West Main
Street

A special session Of the City Coun-
Gil was called late yesterday after
noon to determine the future specifi-
cations for pavement construction
here. The discussion was called
however, after tour of inspection
had been made by Messrs. Reams
Bragg, Sones, Edgar, Bowles, Trav-
ers and w. r. Snow, representing the
Ell Centre Progress.
According to members of this COM
mittee, the pavement on West Mair
street, Len Rey avenue and Sandal
wood was found to be very poor in
spots. In fact, it was said that there
were places on Main street where the
pavement, which is of the White
type, could be kicked out with the toe
Iof shoe.
The meeting was held at the City
Hall and after being called to order
Councilman Travers moved that the
new proposed pavement that is about
to be constructed be of the same type
and the same specifications used as
that on Wensley avenue between 5th
and 9th streets, as not one cent of ex-
pense for upkeep has been expended
during the eight years of its use. The
motion was lost for want of sec
onder. ., .......i
S. E. Bragg moved that the city
proceed with the general specifica-
tions of White pavement that has
been used on West Main street, 4th
street, Len Rey avenue and Sandal
wood. This motion was seconded by
c. E. Pitzer and carried. The vote
was: Ayes, Pitzer, Bragg and Sones;
no, Reams and Travers.
The council then proceeded to vote
pavement for a number of city
streets. Those to be paved are:
Orange from Third to Eighth.
Third from Orange to Commercial
Commecial from Third to Fifth.
Fourth from Commercial to Broad
way.
Wensley from Sixth to Seventh.
Vine from Fourth to Seventh.
Sixth from Park to Railroad.
Fifth from Park to Railroad.

IL VIII Haze Pictures on Bill

Winter

Il 2
NEW YoRK,sNov "a The far.
mer boy, the printers devil and the
workaday clerk are going to have
their pictures on the billboards ano
magazine pages this winter. They
will replace some of the swagge1
young men, who have been posing
several seasons for the artists nired
by collar and clothes manufacturers
Not few of these concerns have
concluded that the orchid is not the
flower of young American manhood
and they are going in for sunflowers
They say the buying public doesn't
like the pink-cheeked men who have
been showing the readers of adver-
tisements what to wear. They seem.
ed to have nothing to do but watch
polo ponies, indifferently peer "a
yachts in the cove or ignore the foot
ball players on the field below them
in order to swap small talk with girls
in vivid sweaters and sport skirts.
People began calling them pretty
boys, cake eaters, lounge lizards, Sis
sizes. Humorists poked fun at them
and the gold old comon people who
bought most of the collars and suits
said, "If that's the kind of a face
you have to have to be we'll dressed,
III go through life slouch."
But now they are going to show the
public that one can be regular
everyday fellow with a job and still
be smartly clothed. Last winter
there was warm discussion within
the National Association of Retail
Clothiers as to the public attitude
toward the "pretty men" in adver-
tisements. This fall the result of
this discussion is apparent. Recently
the new catalogue of a nationally
known clothing house was published
without a single ballroom scene,
bridge party or clubhouse meeting.
Virile settings surplanted them.
There was a drawing of an old tar
talking to two sturdy youths beside
ship, freighter, it was, not a pa
laclal passenger carrier. Another
showed well-dressed office worker
working. He was within sound of a
printing press. A third pictured a
farmer dressed up for trip into
town. He Doe a businesslike mien
and apparently was just giving some
final instructions to the hired man
on the tractor when the artist hap
pened along.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Senator
Watson of Georgia told the Senate
today that his charge that twenty-one
American soldiers had been hanged in
France without trial, was based on the
statement of soldier who said he
had seen the gallows and had been
told by scaffold guard that this
number had been hanged. A favor
able committee report was made on

tee to investigate the charge and SUI
poena witnesses.
Watson declared he had a constitu-
tional right to present his case in
Iopen Senate and intended to do so.
why not debate this, here in the
open, meet me face to face ?" he ask
ed. "Why try to entrap me and cage
me and silence me in the committee
room. If there is anything cheaper in
this country than human life, it's
white washing the committee report.
Does the general staff want to hide
in the committee room? ?" Watson con-
tinued.
Wtason said he was fighting the
military clique and Prussianized

reached a point of militarism where
1t is crime to criticize the army.
which, he said, was the stage Ger
many had reached before the break

Watson read letters and other doc
uments dealing with the alleged hang
ings of American soldiers. He said
that he had further evidence fresh
from the mails this morning. Read
from magazine quoting unnamed Of

that the Red Cross had built gallows

USE SACCHARINE
FOR SUGAR
(By United PreSs)

Moscow, Nov. 4.-Saccharine is the
the article most generally trafficked
in here. AS sugar sells on the mar
kets for the equivalent of nearly 81
a pound, few persons can afford it.
Saccharine is the universal sweeten-
ing. 1t is the pet article for SNUG
|glers.
Customs examiners are not able to
check the illicit trade because of the
ease with which millions and billions
of rubles' worth of the sugar sub
Stitute can be concealed in luggage
and on the person of smugglers. 1t
comes across the Polish, Lithuanian
Lettish, Esthonian and Finnish boun-
daries in great quantities. Ru-
manians also run it across the Bes-
sarabian border.
On every street in Russian cities
there are saccharine dealers solicit
ing buyers. Food shops and market
stalls offer it everywhere. Boot

NEW YORK MARINE
GETS HIGH HONOR

Gunnery Sergeant Ernest A. jan
son has been selected to represent the
men of the Marine Corps at the buri-
al of the unknown American hero in
the Arlington National Cemetery on
Armistice Day, November II. jan
son, together with several non-com-
missioned officers of the army, all
of whom have overseas records, will
act as pallbearers.
Janson's record was divulged to-
day at the Marine Corps recruiting
office, 9th and Main streets, Los An
geles, where it was said that he re-
ceived the Congressional Medal of
Honor, the highest American award
for bravery. He also holds the Navy
Medal Of Honor, the French Military
Medal and CroiX de Guerre with
palm, the Italian War Cross and the
Montenegrin Silver Medal for brav-
cry.
The citation for which Janson re-
ceived his American decorations fol-
lows:
"For conspicuous gallantry and in
trepidity above and beyond the call
of duty in action with the enemy
near Chataau-Thierry, France, June
6, 1918. Immediately after the COM
pany to which he belonged had reach
ed it's objective on Hill 142, several
hostile counter-attacks We're launch
ed against the line before the new
position had been consolidated. Ser
geant Janson was attempting to or
ganize a position on the north slope
of the hill when he saw twelve of the
enemy, armed with five light ma
chine guns, crawling toward the
group. Giving the alarm, he rushed
the hostile detachment, beyoneted the
two leaders and forced the others to
flee, abandoning their guns. His
quick action, initiative and courage
drove the enemy from position from

some $1,000 new inhabitants having
arrived in the course of one year.
