Senora's Laundry Bag Giues Hughes
Fine Chance to ShO,U Diplomatic Skill
Wife Of GuatemaIan Consul Com plains of Firemen's
chinery of State Department in Motion For Justice.

Los ANGELES, April s.-The
laundry bag in which the Sonora F.
Calderon Avila sends off the shirts
and other sartoria1 accoutrements Of
her husband. the Guatemalan consul
at the port of Los Angeles, has be-
come the piece de ristance in that
bugaboo of international relations-a
diplomatic incident
The fact that the United States is
not at grips-or at least at swords
points--with Guatemala over that
striped bag and the events in which
1t has figured recently, undoubtedly
Is due to the indulgence and forbear-
ance of the handsome and charming
Sonora Avilla.
Even with the Sonora Avilla's in
du.gence, il has required the good
offices of the United States Depart
ment of State. the Guatemalan min
lister at Washington. and long list
of other officials down the line. to
handle the international complica-
tions and, through profuSe apologies,
to iron out the offending ruffles of
misunderstanding over the Avilla

that the driver of the wagon, happen

Sonora Avilla. "I just seized what |

The bone of contention in the strike
has been the actors demand for an

for a clause that the members of all
casts must be members of Equity.
with the concession that Equity will
grant membership to any person a
manager desires in his cast.

Mrs. Blanche Lane, 2s, of Balloa- vile, is at the Day Kimball hospital with a fractured leg as the result of being hit by an automobile while walking in the highway, Saturday night.
 According to her story Mrs. Lane while walking along the road saw the lights of car coming towards her and heard another car approaching behind her. She thought she was far enough of the travelled portion of the road to be out of danger. The next she knew she was lying beside the road in a semi-eonscious condition
 Mrs. Lane says she was hit by the ear that came upon her from behind. The machine was driven by a public service operator named Lebreck of Attawaugan. Leberck rendered wha, aid he could and summoned a physi- elan. The woman was removed to the hospital where it was found that the fracture was a serious one and that the flesh had been badly lacerated Amputation was not found necessary.
