new HIGHWAY
IS COMPLETED

The two mile stretch of highway
from Cradelbaughs bridge toward
Carson has been graveled and rolled
and awaits the acceptance of the
state and government officials. 1t is
reported that one section of the road,
where the gravel was screened, does
not pack sufficiently well to meet
with the approval of the engineers,
and 1t is possible that for short
distance the road will have to be sur
faced with dirt to make hard bed
The contractors have done a very
creditable job on this new piece of
highway and the travelling public are
anxiously awaiting the time for 1t to
be thrown open as main travelled
thoroughfare.

FOREST FIRE
AT WOODFORDS

A forest fire has been raging over
the ridge back of Woodfords for the
past three days which has called out
all available fire fighters.
At first the fire was supposed to
have been out of the jurisdiction OF
the forest Office, and in that way the
fire had gained considerable of a
head way before the rangers could
get to the scene.
Tuesday a call was sent to Gard
nerville for fifty men to assist in
controlling the flames. That number
responded to the call and an extra
fifty were called to give assistance.
A high wind is tanning the flames
and making the fighting very diff
cult at the present time. The timber
is heavy in the section where the
fire is burning. which makes back
firing almost impossible.
The rangers hope to have 1t under
control by today. unless the wind
changes and causes the fire to spread
in another direction.
Three years ago this month a for
est fire south of Woodfords burned
off many acres of timber and threat
ened the hotel at that place.
1t Is not known how the fire start
ed, but presumably from some care

 TESTING STAR HEAT
Los Angeles Scientists Find Variation of Hundred
 Millionth Degree

Los Angeles. Nov. 14.-R Residents of Los Angeles and Pasadena are burning too much midnight oil and in terfering with the efforts of scientists of the Smithsonian Institution on Mount Wilson to measure the temper ature of the stars and determine what kind of climate they have up there. Dr. c. G. Abbot, well known authority on science, is responsible for the charge.
 Dg. Abbot has just completed soDAG extensive work at Mount Will son. and in an official report says:
 ''The ga1vanome we used at the Mount Wilson Observatory is much more sensitive than any ever used be- fore. We got hitherto unobtainable results in measuring the heat of the stars through it and by the aid of the 100-inch telescope.
 @'But at the most advanced stage of our observations we found that so small a thing as the turning on of a light in a house 1oyETn in Pasadena or
 r the Los Angeles district would dis turb the galSanJneter. The electric wires there would throw us off to a disturbing degree. I don't know how we are going to offset this.
 we measured a hundred mill Honth degree temperature change" said Dr. Abbot, "and trillionth of an ampere electric current. The various stars are extremely different in their spectrum dlstribution. This throws light on their temperature, which seems to range from 5000 to 15,000 degrees centigrade.'

ty in his campaign for election from the central Glasgow district the cor respondent says nobody seriously be- heves the premier will be rejected. But it is certain that his two oppon- ents-Sir George Paish, Liberal can- didate, and the Laborite, Bai1:e Mitch ell will poll more votes than it was first expected.
 Sir Robert Horne. who was chan celIor of the e0chequer in Lloyd Georges cabinet, is regarded as an almost sure choice of the voters in the Hillhead division of Glasgow but Sir William Mitchel1-Th ompson, is Jess safe in the MaryhiII division, where Annie s. Swan, is making a powerful appeal for the vote Of women with Liberal interests. Labor also has shown increasing strength against the reelection of Sir William.
 The situation throughout the pop ulous; Lanardshire is much the same believes tht t only unusual energy can defeat the Laborites in several places.
 Ev anywhere the great puzzle per picking the organizers is how the women will vote. It is the experience of canvassers throughout the country that women are taking more interest in the election than ever before, al though their interest was frequently considerable even before they had the right to cast ballots.
 The Daily Mail quotes a man who has had more than 20 years exper fence in election canvassing as saying it is easier to impress 99 men than it is to impress just one woman. He classified womG9 into three groups, those who regard a request for their politics from their husbands, and those who distrust politics altogether and regard canva sSerS in the same light as tax collectors.
