FROM all over the world and from
every class, visitors to San Diego
either transients or residrrts-to be
are welcomed and helped by two
smiling women, who are on watch
to detect the confused glance, the
distressed search for the friends
who never appeared, the men and
women speaking an alien tongue
and unable to make themselves un-
derstood. In the first six months
of 1928, according to figures just
compiled, 1921 persons arriving in
or passing through San Diego have
been assisted by Miss Ella Thomas
and Mrs. Anna Spcer, representa-
tives of the Travellers Aid Society.
The information is sponsored by
Miss Margaret L. 'Connell, gen
eral secretary of the San Diego
Young Women s Christian Associa-
tion, which handles and directs the
work of the Travellers Aid here.
Among the nationalities repre-
sented by the 1921 grateful travel
ers who received the kindly prof
fercd assistance were: English,
German, Italian, Canadian, Irish,
Mexican, Danish, japanese, Chinese,
French, Greek, Jugoslavic, Filipino
and mere American-less pictur-
esque than the polyglot aliens, but
just us needy in many eases.
First Work
According to the report of Ray
mond B. Fosdick and Mark M.
Jones, who made a survey of the
whole field of Travellers Aid agen-
cies for the recent national confer
ence of Travellers Aid societies, the
first recorded work in the United
States that at all parallels the mod
ern conception of Travellers Aid
work grew out of the gold rush to
the West in the sos. Bryan Null
lanphy of st. Louis, who died in
1851, left one-third of' his fortune
of more than $1,000,000 in a trust
fund to be administered by the city
council to assist while in st. Louis,
those who were travelling .'to the
West The bequest contemplated
direct financial assistance, since
vehicles and food were the need of
the traveller. The protective fea-
lures which characteriz the Travel
ers' Aid work of the present day
were not involved.
The report goes on to state that

SAN DIEGO MAN
INVENTS NEW
SPECIAL CODE
Forest Supervisor Has
Perfected Splendid
System

Communication. problem that
has bothered rangers and supervi-
sors of the national forests for
wears. seems to have been solved
by the invention of Il special code
for heliograph signaling by S. A.
Bouldcn, supervisor of the Cleve-
land National forest.
In the past the usefulness of the
heliograph, the only practical meth
cd of Communication between look
outs, rangers and patrolmen i'll the
wooded mountain sections, has been
almost nullified by the difficulties
the forest service encountered IN
signals in general use. 1t remained
for Boulden, assisted by Lookout
Ralph Browning, to develop a new
code, which is so simple that a few
minutes study will make prac-
teal signaler out of a novice. In 1t
few days a green man may become
expert enough with the hellograph
to exchange messages with reason
able ease and speed.
Flashes B,idge Miles
In certain parts of the forestry
reserves lookout stations are as
muck as go miles apart in cn air
line and have no direct communlca-
ton. Some are equipped with tele-
Themes, but it is not practical to use
them in various emergencies, owing
TO busy lines and other trouble. At
the Los Pinos lookout in San Diego
county the heliograph is the only
means of reaching the nearest
neighbor Of the lookout, located at
Cuvamaca Peak, some Is miles IN
an air line. 80 4& t1ei i8xl4
The henograph is an instrunLcA.,
in which a mirror is arranged on
tripod III such manner that the
flash can be directed in any given
direction. The flashes are CON
trolled by Il key operating mask
which alternately covers and uncov-
crs the mirror and breaks the flash
uu into dots and dashes similar to
the Morse code.
In the Boulden code the alphabet
is divided into five groups of SIX
Letters each Except the last, which
has but twol, the several series be
ginning with the letters A, &, M, $,
y, respectively. These series let
tiers, with few code authorizations,
constitute all the code it is neces-
sary to memorizc.

BOTH HOUSES
PASSED OVER
500 MEASURES
Only Three of the Dozen
or More Tax Bills
Succeed.
MANY LOST In SHUTTLE
Monkey Bill and Officers
Removal Bill Die on
Calendar.

Austin, Tex. March ia review
Of the work of the Thirty-eighth Leg
islature, which adjourned yesterday
shows that numerous measures of i'm
portance were finally enacted into laws
while many others were lost in the
legislative shuttle and failed to be en-
acted. 1t was estimated by officials
that more than 800 bills finally passed
both Houses.
Only three of the dozen or more
tax measures proposed. succeeded in
passing through both Houses. Prob
ably the most important of these is
the Cowen gasoline tax bill. levying
1 cent per gallon tax on all gasoline
sold By wholesalers in the state. 1t
is estimated this measure will bring
the state funds approximately 81
100000 annually, three-fourts of
which goes to the state highway fund
and one-fourth to the available school
fund.
Other tax measures which passed
finally were: The Nelson bill, levying
. per cent tax on sulphur produced
III ltAdSs anu tHt cathctb hOt't We
hicle license bill, increasing license
fees approximately 100 per cent. 1t
is estimated that the Nelson bill will
mean an annual income of $1,000,00O
while the motor vehicle license bill
will net probably s4,500,000 to the
state and S2,500,000 annually to the
various counties. The Bonham de-
linquent tax bill was also passed fl
nally and should increase tax COLES
tons. 1t merely prescribes methods
for collecting taxes. Z
Some Tax Measures Failed.
Among the important tax measures
that failed to get TO the governors
desk are the following: The intangi-
bic assets tax bill; the income tax
bill; the severance tax bill; the gross
production oil tax bill. and the in
heritance tax bill and amusements tax
bill.
Probably the most important meas

NEW DEVELOPMENTS TOLD.
Mysterious Circumstances Related BY
Deputy Sheriff.
BY the Associated Press.

Nirden, ILL.,, March 15.-Several
new developments in the case of
Father John A. Vraniaf, pastor Of
the Sacred Heart Catholic Church
here, who disappeared under myster-
ious circumstances a week and hall
ago, were announced today by George
Miller, deputy sheriff of Macoupin
county, in charge of the investigation
being conducted into the mystery.
Mrs. Johanna Vraniak, mother OF
the missing rector, said she had re-
ceived a letter from a woman at Du-
buque, Iowa, who declared that her
brother, the Rev. Father Arthur b.
Belknap, a priest, at Lead, S. ID.
had been murdered in that city three
months ago by man whose descrip.
ton she supplied.
Deputy Sheriff Miller declared the
description of the alleged murderer
of Father Belknap corresponds with
the description of a man who is being
kept under surveillance in a small
town near here. Efforts are being
made TO ascertain whether this man
was away from his home since the
disappearance of Father Vraniak, it
was stated.
Adolph Vraniak, of Chicago.
brother of the missing rector, asserted
he received a telephone call from a
man whose name was not learned,
that the clergyman was seen in COM
pany with two men, who appeared
to be leading him" in Collinsville,
ILL.,, near st. Louis, several nights
ago. Further questioning disclosed that
the occurrence might have taken place
last Sunday night, it was said. The
men were reported to have boarded n
trolley car for st. Louis later that
night.
