- Immense production of apples and
potatoes in the United States this sea-
son is expected, according to state
ment issued in Chicago Friday by the
Federal bureau of agricultural econom-
les. The apple yield thus far exceeds
by more than 100000 barrels the
crop gathered last year. Potato pro-
ductfon indicated is the largest since
the bumper crop of 1917. Predictions
of the apple crop in the leading states
include: Virginia with 1,522,0Oo bar
rcIs The total commercial crop is es-
timated at 31,413,000 barrels, com
pared with 21,2O4,OeO barrels in 1921.
An approach to half million bushels
of potatoes is the forecast Of the COM
ing crop. .a

way the horses ran in the second race,
1 soon deserted the grand stand and
sought the "old town."
The "oid town" Of Tia Juana with
it's "honk "a tonk" is mile or more
from the race track. And if one is not
anxious to get ones motor from the
parking space, there are jitneys that
jolt one ever for a quarter. But un-
less one has a terrible thirst it's cafes
offer no attractions.
l ventured into one Of the most pre-
tentious establishments on the main
street. Three or four tough looking
customers were drinking with several
battle scared members of the unfair
sex while a sad-eyed girl sang song
hit Of before the war. A dirty Mexican
waiter brought me bottle Of beer and
asked me if would like to buy drink
for the singer. When I told him that
| was n woman hater he returned with
a large saucer bearing the sign: Don't
Forget the Kitty" SO / obliged. But
despite the fact that the beer was very
good left before the sad eyed singer
attempted another song.
from another hOnR-a-tonk lured me
thither. But one look at the motley
gathering on it's dance floor was
enough. Half of the crowd were
negroes and the place reeked with the
commingled odors of stale beer and
cheap perfume. In my haste to reach
the open air / stumbled over the un-
shod feet of n gallant soldier of the
Mexican army, but he never noticed
it. And his down-and- out comrades
in-arms were too drunk to do any
thing but laugh.
One of my reasons for visiting "the
old town" was to wrap myself around
some food had looked forward to a
delicious Spanish luncheon in q pic
turcsque, vine restaurant, for,
being n dangerous optimist, / had
pictured myself quaffing the bottled
laughter Of Iberian peasants to the
tinkling OF Spanish guitars.
But the only restaurant in Tia Juana
was an American lunch counter at
which the only Spanish dish on its fly
spccked menu was chile con carne.
/ have often eaten chunks Of rubber
tires for lobster a Ia Newburgh. /
have had Welsh rabbits that tasted
like kitchen soap, and l have been
served with salad that contained little
of everything except coffee grounds.
But never have I had anything quite
as awful as this bowl Of chile con
carne in old Mexico. One morsel Of
il would be a casus belli anywhere.
Two morsels would make q lifelong
pacifst bellicose.
GLOW about some Tia Juana
chicken?" asked the gold toothed
waiter. And in sheer desperation l
ordered it, a moment later I was

border with as much as one can carry
in ones stomach Il have heard it said
that the stomach when distended will
hold three pints), is another fact that
| will not try to explain.
Suffice it to say that our prohibition
laws have made Tia, Juana q Mecca
for the thirstily inclined, who either
want to avoid the high prices demand
ed by bootleggers or do their drinking
within the law, or both!
There is nothing but the drinking
facilities TO recommend Tia Juana. 1t
has other attractions, of course, but l
can only warn you against them.
First and foremost of these other at
fractions is the race track. The Tia
Juana Jockey Club. an American en-
terprise, provides more than n hum
dred days Of racing every year. But it
is the last place in the world where n
sane person would think Of risking his
money. Not that the races are crook
ed. / wouldn't assert that, although
I've never known of track where
there wasn't a Jockeys ring. But it is
impossible to make any money here
even if you are lucky enough to pick
winner now and then. The odds are
always against you.
This, Of course, does not prevent
thousands of well heelcd Americans
from visiting the track and betting
their bankrolls on the chariot racers
that run here. On race days the roads
between San Diego and Tia Juana are
crowded with automobiles and motor
buses and, in addition, through race
trains, direct to the track, are run
from Los Angeles, more than four
hours away.
There is no roulette or any other
game of chance here at the present
time The governor of Lower Califor-
MIA stopped all the gambling except at
the track several months ago. How
ever the bookes and pari-mutucls can
strip any one of all he has. And even
Mexican governor cannot ask for
more than that.
Sunday is the biggest day of the
week. 1t is then thai one can see Tia
Juana at its best-Or worSe-aCcOrdinS
to the point Of view. The most im9)"-
tant racing events, naturally, take
place at this time, and it is not Unus-

one has to drop the admission price in
American silver dollars in huge coin
boxes at TIE turnStiles-with the re-
| suit that several change booths are
kept busy. Mexican money is no good
at Tia Juana except at the local post
office and even there Mexican stamps
are sold for coins of the u. S. a.
There were nine races the Sunday

FLEES MAN; LEAFS TO DEATH
Pursued by Man With Horsewhip
frightened Woman Jumps Fro5a
Fourth-Story VIindow. Ia (

New YOrk.-Screams and the crack
Of & h0rseWhip brought tenants in the
vicinity Of 271 West Twenty-seventh
street from their homes just in time
TO see young woman leap madly to
her death from the fourth story of the
building.
All that the neighbors knew about
this woman was that her name was
Mae LeamOn and that she lived in a
furnished room on the second floor.
About 7:30 o'clock they heard her cry
out and then raise her voice to a sharp
scream as loud reports like the crack
of a heavy whip were heard Then
the neighb0rs saw a man chase her
to the roof, whence she jumped down
to the third-floor landing of the fire
escape.
After her went the man, and she
frantically scrambled up to the top of
an attic window on the fourth floor.
Those who had rushed to the street
yelled to her not to jump. Help was
coming, for they saw Patrolman Fred
erick Robenstein of the West Thirtieth
street station running toward them.
Some said that he shouted, "Wait
second-I'll be right up to help you"
Perhaps the patrolman was too far
away for the woman to hear him or
possibly she was so wild with fear that
words were meaningless to her. She
jumped.

Germans Cutting
Into Tomb Etone
Business at Last
.(By Associated Pressl

Aberdeen, Stockholm, FEB. To-
German competition is even cutting
into the tombstone business and
thereby affecting the granite trade
which is one of Aberdeen's leading
industries.
Large English cities are reported
to be buying tombstones and even
war memorials from Germany at
rates that are substantially cheaper
than Aberdeen granite firms can pro-
duce them while paying present
wages.
American wholesale agents who
once bought large quantities of Alb
erdeen granite also are reported to
have purchased $4,000 worth of
headstones from Germany, these be-
ing manufactured from Scandina-
Wan granite.
In consequence, there has been a
great slump in orders received here
for tombstones and mortuary memo
rials. Many Aberdeen granite firms
have notified their workmen of an
cut in wages.

Knickerbocker Crash
Cause of Drastic
Safety Methosd
EIGHT UNDER ARREST
Architect and Contractor
and Building Inspec-
tor Held
(By Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 15.-The nine
men ordered held for the grand jury
in verdict returned by the coroner's
jury in connection with the Knick-
erbocker theater disaster January
2S, which resulted in the loss of 90
lives, was given an opportunity to
appear at the district attorneys Of
flee today to give bond. They were
no taken into custody when the YER
dict was returned last night and Dis
trict Attorney Preston Gordon said
they would be permitted to remain
at liberty under $4,000 bond each.
He said the case probably would be
presented to the grand jury, which is
now in session, by the last of this
week.
Based on the testimony of scores
of witnesses at the inquest which
began nearly week ago, the verdict
of the coroner's jury found that the
collapse of the roof of the motion
picture theater was "due to faulty
designing mad construction and in
adequate supervision and inspection"
Among those ordered held for the
grand jury were R. G. Geare, archi-
tect for the building; j. H. Ford, en-
gineer who designed the roof struc-
ture; Morris Hacker, building in
spector when the theater was con-
structed, and Frank L. Wagner, the
builder.
Recommendation of the jury in
cluded one that "all theaters and
places where the public assemble be
closed and kept closed until such
time as their safety is assured" The
district board of commissioners had
taken no action on this today and it
was the opinion of subordinate Off
cials that the recommendation of
the jury would not be followed in
this respect.
