1889 tons of flour, 2,53t tons of milk,

~ financed by the American central

undernouriShment prescribe additions
10 the regular meals in the shape of
dishes supplying the needed calories.

NEW SEES VALUE

DETROIT, September 22.-The Post
Office Department is interested in any
transportation development when
will contribute. within the ability OF
the department to use it, toward the
Improvement of communications
Postmaster General Harry S. New
told members of the Detroit air board
at an aviation dinner here last night.
While the Postmaster General as
serted the attitude of the department
officially toward aircraft was that air
mail is justified only in so far as it is
demanded by the public, he said he
believed the development of flying
was a good thing for the business of
tho country and necessary from the
standpoint of national security.
Col. Paul Henderson. second as
sistant postmaster general, who was
another speaker at the banquet. an

here tomorrow.
Hit Limitation Plan.
Among the resolutions unanimously
passed by the Detroit air. board at the
Hlnner was one protesting against a
conference for the international lin
ltatlon OF military development of
aeronautics. The resolution pointed
out that foreign governments granted
subsidies to commercial development
of aeronautics, and that, as this was
contrary to the policy of the United
states, any limitation of military air
nlane development would be welcom-
Ell by Europe, and would handicap
the United States, as the development
OF the science in this country is de-
pendent on appropriations by Con-
gresS for the Army and Navy.
The resolution concluded: BE it
resolved by the Detroit air board that
the time has come for the United
States to examine carefully into the
sources of propaganda now active in
this country and seemingly aimed at
the destruction of confidence of mem
berS of Congress and of the Ameri
can people in our aeronautical devel-
opment. the delay of which will seri-
Ously handicap our country in the
development of world trade and in
the preparation for the national de-
Tense"

at the courthouse, until inquiry de-

older than "Dick. -
The two native sons had an en-
ioyable chat this morning, talking
about the olden days when green

gold flowed freely. and folks did not
have to lock up their property any
time they wished to leave home.

The book is an account of the ac-
tivities of former Congressman Kett-
ner during the eight years he rep.
resented the district and is frank
statement from the man who pos.
sibly more than any other individual
brought national attention to San
Diego and Southern California.
1t was Kettner who brought
Franklin X. Lane, at that time sec
retary of the interior, to Southern
California. to interest him in the de-
velopment of the Colorado river, and
it was out of that visit that the
Boulder canyon dam project had its
beginning.
Recommends Many Activities
Secretary Lane was quick to see
what construction of flood control
dam, capable of developing hydro
electric power would mean for the
future of Southern California, and
gave the project his strong endorse
ment, and continued his support
while he was a member of the fed
eral government.
Kettner also reeounts his activi-
ties in connection with the devel
opment of San Diego, as au army
and naval base, his efforts in be-
half Of the San Diego Panama ex-
position of 1915 and many other
having for their object
the welfare of Southern California.
In his preface, the ex-congress-
man states that the book was writ
ten during the long nights of the
past two years when he was unable
to sleep because of sickness, and in
order to take his mind off his ply
sicM suffering. The book forms an
document for future ref
erence in connection with the his

CORDIAL WELCOME
TENDERED NEW
STRAND PLAYERS
All Seats Filled at Open
ing of City's First
Stock Season

Cordial welcome was rendered last
night to the Strand Players, who
opened season of repertory per-
formances at the attractive new
Valley Theater. A good natured
holiday audience filled every seat
in the house and gave the en-
couragement Of their whole-hearted
laughter and applause to the Jplay-
ers, who had chosen A. A. Milne s
"The Dover Road' for their local
debut.
The delicate comedy, over which
New York and London chuekled for
couple of seasons, was happily Sc
lected to please people who had
just finished the Thanksgiving
cheer afforded by Imperial Valley
roast turkey. There is little action
to stop the breath or retard diges-
tion but every line of the spark
ling dialogue stimulates a wholesome
gurgle. Ludicrous situations reveal
TO the beholder that an eccentric
old bachelor who lives just off the
Dsver Road has hobby for way
laying eloping couples, imprisoning
them in his pleasant country home,
and letting them think things over
for a week. OF course when Leo
nard, eloping with Anne, meets his
wife, Enstacie, eloping with Mich
olas, things begin to happen and
an amusing juggling of soul mates
follows. ...< t.-.
The company's pretty little lead
ing lady is decidedly up to speci-
fieations. She is Miss Mercedes
Shea, whose charming face and
well modulated voice lend charm
to a spirited personality. She play,
ed Anne with enjoyment and con
viction and kept her head through

eies. ~. g 80 g

LONDON, Nov. 30.--A sensation
which threatens to develop into 4
national scandal has been caused by
publication of an article sent to
British newspapers by news agent
stating the. government is concerned
over military preparations in Ger
many.
The article said ''rapid military
training of large numbers of men in
excess of Versailles treaty stipula

that the government is cognizant of
the facts.
As the agency is often credited
with being "semi-official," the IA
miliar declaration about Germany's
misdeeds was taken seriously and
caused general alarm.

disclosed official authority for the
statement, but the fat was in the
