Need of Milk,
Considers LnIU

That Los Angeles wants supply
Of milk from Imperial Valley is
shown by the visit here this week
of G. f. Taylor, special investigator
for the city council. The council
is to reconsider the proposed milk
ordinance vetoed by Mayor Cryer
after passage by the council.
Before taking definite action the
council decided to obtain accurate
information regarding the milk sit
nation here. The attitude of local
daiEymen, creamerymen and busi-
ness men toward the idea of ship
ping milk from the valley was in
vestigated by Mr.. Taylor. The fea-
sibility of shipment, the sources OF
supply, and methods of shipping
were all thoroughly gone into by
the investigator.
AS the ordinance now reads milk
must not be more than "a hours
old when. it reaches Los Angeles.
, Mr.. Taylor stated today that ne
would recommend an extension OF
time for shipments from the valley
because of the train service SEIZED.
ule from the valley to Los Angeles
1t is desirable according to the
citv council to frame an adequate
ordinance that will serve for al
least ten wears. Even if Imperia
! Valley does not see fit to start ship
ments of milk Immediately, Mr.. Tay
lor stated, the new ordinance L
written as he recommends it Will pc
nit shipments any time in the nea
future. The last change in the Lo
Angeles milk ordinance was mad
I in 1912.
i According to Mr.. Taylor he vii
recommend that the bacteria coun
be used as test of quality after mill
has arrived in the coast city. Th
state and new Los Angeles Law
states that grade A milk must no
count more than 100000 and tina

than 100000, before pasteuriza

Going on the presumption that
the term, pants, may be either sim
gular or plural, but that it is al
ways singular when men don t wear
'em, Frank Owens, So, trusty at
the county Jail several months ago,
decided that the ownership of the
pants is of less Importance than
the fact that man in the public
eve must have them on. SO Frank,
who was wearing pair belonging
to the district attorney, kept them
on while he made his gateway.
Yesterday District Attorney Ut
ley, who had long since given up
the idea of re-possessing himself of
the trousers, made visit TO the
jail in CaIexico to bring some pris-
oners sentenced to spend time in
the county bastile here.

Mr.. Owens, without the stolen pants,

GERMANS MAKE
CONCESSIONS,
ANSWER ALLIES
BY LLOYD ALLEN
UNITED Press Staff correspondent

LONDON, Aug. 6.-The German
delegation worked until dawn today
completing its reply to the docu-
ments received from the allies at
yesterdays plenary session of the
reparations conference.
1t is understood that Chancellor
Marx and his colleagues made i'm
mediate concessions of minor char
acter, changing their original plans
in order not to block proceedings
and to assist in speeding up the
work of the conference.
For instance, instead of submit
ting series of counter proposals,
they decided to confine their reply
to detailed criticisms of the allied
protocol.
The answers were to be ready for
Il plenary session today. Thus Ger
many's first gesture at London was
one of cooperation in the trying in
sistence upon speed.
Present Points
The United Press understands
that the German observations bear
the following points:
|. Urge acceptance of economic
evacuation of the Ruhr.
.. Oppose continuation of allied
railwaymen on Rhenish railways.
5. Amnesty for all Ruhr prison
ers and exiles.
A. Object to continuance of de-
liveries of reparation and merchan-
disc beyond the treaty dates.
1t now appears virtually impos-
sible to finish the conference before
next week.
Marx, Foreign Minister Strese-
mann and Dr. Luther called at No.
10 Downing street this morning and
presented their reply to the allied
leaders, who immediately went into
session to consider the German re-
Communications
The German reply, 1t was learned
reliably, urges that Germany be al.
lowed to have representatives on
any arbitration committees set up
in eases where default by the
reich is declared.
