No Embarrassing Here

TAX of 900 million dollars year could be realized
n by putting special levy of per cent year the
value of unused land in the United States and Alaska
So claims Congressman Griffen introducing bill for that
purpose.
Grifen believes that his bill would not only bring in
lot of revenue but it would also force into unproduc

such tax is that can't be evaded by passing it to

OsWalt Receives
Painful Burns


Sterling Oswalt, deputy sheriff at
the county Jail, was severely burned
about the face yesterday, when the
radiator cap of his ear blew off
as he was about to open it. The
burns are not believed to be deep,
but they are .extremell painful.
The accident occurred at the june
tion of the highways leading 70 San
Diego and Laguna mountains, where
Mr.. Oswalt had stopped to cool his
motor. before continuing up the
grade. He was accompanied by his
wife and family at the time. Med
zeal attention was secured as soon
as possible and the burns dressed.
The steam and hot water from
the radiator blinded Mr.. OswGlt at
first, so that he believed he might
be permanently injured, but today
his condition is so much improved
that he is able to be on duty at
the Jail.
