of identities by two women. One

Victor Varconi, who made his
American debut in Triumph, {"
again makes Il good impression as
the easy-going husband; ZaSu Pitts
in her familiar role of a maid gives
y fine characterization as usual and
RAYMOND Griffith is effective as
the impetuous suitor. Julia Faye,
Helen Dunbar and William Boyd

Harrigan's Report Shows His
Department Very Busy in june

of Animal Industry. Certificates
totaling 1920 were issued for
fruit and vegetables during the
present shipping season. The can
daloupe growers should endeavor to
get pure strain of seed as the
present seed is mixed with every
strain, advises Harrigan.
Five watermelon inspectors were
employed and worked until July 1st.
At that time it was necessary to
lay them off as all the growers
had not paid their portion of the
watermelon inspection fund as
agreed to at the beginning OF the
season. Five watermelon growers
were prosecuted for attempting TO
snip green watermeions. Twenty
two ears of green and immature
watcrmelons were rejected and des-
troyed.
Tne first car of grapes was
shipped on June %. The grape
crop as a whole seems to be of good
quality and is sugaring very rapid.
" Seven hundred fifty crates of
grapes were rejected for not having
the proper sugar content.
Cash fines were turned in to the
county for violation of the frui5
and vegetable Standardization act.

Aliens Must Have
Certificates for
Crossing Border

Chief Nelson of the Immigration
derartment service at Calexico has
asked that full publicity be given
10 the fact that aliens residing in
the United tates must secure absen-
tee celtificacs before crossing to
Mexico if they expect to return
without difficulty.
Residence in the United States,
regardless of the term of years, does
not qualify an alien to return unless
he has certificate signifying his
purpose to absent himself from the
country. The line authorities in
following the requirements of the
law obligated to turn back all aliens
who do not have a properly issued
certificate. This is true whether
the absentee goes to the interior of
Mexico, or any other foreign coun-
try, or merely crosses the line here
for an hour or two in Mexicali.

Do You Wash Dishes
the Right Wdy-Or Do
You Do 1t HaphGzard?

Remove all food from the dishes
with rubber scraper if there is one.
Rinse under running water, using hot
if at all greasy. Pile in families.
Put all food away and empty garb-
age. Use two pans-warm suds IN
one, clear hot water for rinsing III
the other unless YOU use an open
drain rack. In that case have the
kettle filled with hot water for the
rinsing. If you use the rinsing pan
spread a heavy towel ON the drain
board and after rinsing the dishes
put them on the towel to dram.
This will save the number of your
towels. Wash glasses first, then
silver, cups and saucers, small plates,
large plates and other ehinaware.
Change the water if necessary and
do the pots and pans. In rinsing the
pots and pans IN the beginning 1t Is

have e better chance for life than
the babies of any other city in the
birth registration area of the Unit
ed States according to infant NOR
talitv statistics published today by
the American Child Health Associa
tion of New York City. Santa Cruz s
rate for 1928 is 26 which means that

Not only Santa Cruz but the en-
tire state of California has Il very
low infant mortality rate. Los An
goles with a record of ~ ranks third
among the ten largest cities of the

self having a rate of 66 holds fourth
place among the so states and the
District of Columbia which comprise
the birth registration area. The re-
port includes cities of more than

Winchester, Massachusetts, is the
only one other citv in the birth
registration area with record equal
to Santa Cruz. This city also has
.an infant mortality rate of 20 as
