Cactus Apples Of
This State in
Great Demand
py United Press Leased Wire

By United Press Leased Wire
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 114The
cactus apple or prickly pear
crop for 1924, which principal
" is grown in the hills back of
San Diego, has been harvested
and shipped to market. Eleven
car loads of this luscious fruit
were sent east this season,
principally to New York, where
the pears are quite in demand.
The cactus apples brought some
thing over $4,000 car, there
fore proving a very profitable
crop.
The cactus apple is .rlniver-
sally popular, regardless Of the
fact that with SOME varieties
a blowtorch is almost necessary
to SINCE off the stickers or fine
needles. Furthermore; those en-
gagged in harvesting the crop
must be careful about sitting
down on an open crate of the
prickly pears. However the in
PRODUCTION of the Burbank
spiEcless variety has done much
ito do away with the Difficult
ties of picking the fruit.

seven thousand four hundred and

Industrial accidents to minors were

under 10. Each of the States
studied had attempted to protect
children under this age by pro-
hibiting them from employment in
certain occupations, chiefly in the
operation of the more dangerous
machinery, which is the source of
greatest accident hazard to the
young worker.
Children of 16 and II were pro-
hibited from some employments in
Massachusetts and Wisconsin but
in all three States were permitted
to operate many of the dangerous
machines.
Accident figures reflected this
difference in legal protection.
Power-working machinery caused
a larger percentage of the acct
dents to the 16 and II year Odds
than to children under 16--protect-
ed by law--or to young workers
between Is and 21-better able to
protect themselves.
Accidents were also serious to
the 16- and 17-year group than TO
either the younger or older work
ers. OF the injuries to workers
under 16, 1877 per cent resulted IN
death or partial disablement for
life. For those 16 and II years old
who were injured, the rate was 1874
per cent killed or permanently dis
abled; for the group 1921 years
the rate was 1921 per cent.

told me you had broken your en-

interest had been transferred to her.

but she is entirely different from any
other woman he has ever known. Be-
cause of this she. fascinates him.
He spoke of you most tenderly. He
said you were the only woman on
earth who seemed to understand. He
told meyou knew him better than he
knew himself and he felt something
had gone out of his life he would
always miss.
Isn't it strange, Bee? A. man longs
for the woman he does not have and
does not appreciate the woman he
gets. This may happen. even when
he has changed from one woman to
another and back again. believe
already that Dick Summers is grow
ing a little tired of Paula Perier and
wishing for you.
He misses your common sense, my
dear. and while common sense may
not be quite as exhilarating as the
other five senses, it is much better
ming to live with in the long run.

kindSof a girl Paula Perier is. Truly

who has had much experience and
who has suffered greatly. She seems
much Interested in all women. she

THE DEMOCRATIC DIFFICULTY

Democrats in Washington enjoyed the Republican en-
barassment incident to the oil but cold of
the situation since matters have developed fails to reveal
any great cause for JOY their part. The Democratic
party its leaders believe brought within sight of their
goal OF return to power but that appears lead
erless.
William McAdoo in his relations with the Dohenv in
appears to have been engaged the legitimate bust
ness of his profession and certainly had part the Teapot
Dome affair Some other charges of his appearance before
his own or Wilson apponees have been explained
cned to point of Glow visibility and the chances of his
nomination remote.
Former Governor James E. Cox is willing but Cox failed
in 1920 and loser is not often picked again. although Will
liam Jennings Bryan is notable exception Senator Raj
son of Indiana has gained favor but an outstanding
Inquire and is nearing the point in where the
would hesitate to trust him with the great burdens the
presidency AL Smith of New York is and that alone
probably prevents him from obtaining the nomination
certainly makes his election doubtful Former Ambassador
to England James W. Davis of West Virginia is an out
standing Democrat fine personality and has an unbem-
lshed record But his abilities have him the position
OF counsel to great interests and With the Democrats in
Congress flirting with the radicals it is hardly likely that
they would turn to Davis at their New York convention
Sem is of the south and his candidacy has not
made much headway
Thus the whole field of Democratic possibilities
ing William Jennings Bryans favored president of the Uni
versy of Flordafas to disclose oustandg candidate
for the presidency. Unless Democrat can uncover
candidate more striking than the proposed by Mr.
Bn it is ext emey doubtful if the Democrats at their
New York convention will be able to select man who can
uric all the clements of party which includes the BRYAN
trys, the Tammany Hall "wets, the "soid south" and
other lsc2rlant elements.
