Curiosifies Found in
Prague Button Museum

Button, button, who's got the ,but-
ton?" They know In Prague where
buttons are to be found, for there Is
button museum In the Czechoslovak
capital in which every form and type
Of button ever manufactured or
wrought by hand Is on exhibit. The
buttons museum is one Of the npst
unique institutions of its kind In the
world, according to the New York
World.
The museum was founded by but
ton manufacturer named Henry
Waldes. Within a few years the In
stitution has so expanded that it fills
two floors of large house in the
suburb of Wrschowitz.
: A study of the materials used Is in
itself most worth while. There are
buttons of gold, of silver, ivory, bronze,
porcelain, of precious stones such as
turquois, opal, carneol, etc. Some but
tons date back 1900 years before
Christ. The fashiest and showiest but
tons are those of the Eighteenth CEN
fury, when Europe seemed to enjoy
rare luxury.
The most grewsome buttons are the
so-called poison buttons, containing
tiny phial of poison and surmounted
by sharp stud. In the days OF polit-
ical assassinations it was an easy thing
for a man attending high society
function, such as ball, to approach
his adversary and, In crowd, to
brush by him in such way that the
button scratched his skin. Into this
rent in the skin the contents of the
button would then flow with fatal con-
sequences.

BRAWLEY FAIR

Claiming that the Forthcoming
Imperial Valley Mid-Winter Fair
which will be held December > 6 at
Brawley, will be ;he most ambitious
event of its kind ever attempted in
the valley, n delegation composed
of representatives of the Brawley
Chamber of Commerce and the Farm
Bureau waited upon the board of
super .sors yesterday and asked
for suitable allowance in confor-
nifty with the Importance of the
event.
Previously the mid,winter fair
at the northern city has been repre-
sentative of the Brawley district,

extent of the fair and what it
would embrace, a grant of $1,000

Sweeping Vote Against
Labor Makes Move
Inevitable

LONDON, Nov. As Americans
marched to the polls today to elect
their next president, Stanley Bald
win, leader of the Conservative party
in Great Britain, accepted the duty
of organizing the government which

ment was to institute investigation
into the source and authenticity OF
the Zinoviey letter, "A subverslve

Which caused the Macdonald cabi-
net untold trouble in the closing
days of the election campaign. The

by United Press Leased Wire

WASHINGTON, Nov. with
the American people registering
their verdict on his record and pro-
mise of future achievements at the
polls, President Coolidge clung to
his regular routine today as if moth
ing unusual were in the air.
Early in the morning he took his

thence to his desk for routine,
every day work.

cept Secretary of the Navy Wilbur
were away at their homes to vote,
The president, however, scheduled
rs usual the semi weekly conference
with newspaper men at noon.
Mr.. Coolidge planned TO give over
the afternoon to an auto drive with

al even n constitutional
through the downtown streets at
dusk with his bodyguard and wind
the day up with small radio party
in the Library at the White House
Secretary and Mrs. Wilbur ana
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Sterns of Bos-
ton, as far as could be learned, were

About three miles north of Ca
leXico A. Ccscina must have had a
kind of paralytic stroke, for he was
was helpless in his ear when Officer

claimed the right of way, whether
ON the pavement or off, and slumped
when the officer overlook him ana
persuaded him to accompany him
back to Calexico.
He had no explanation to offer
Judge Markey yesterday when
charged with reckless driving, and

goes with that kind of offense.
Wolff was responsible for the ap-
pearance of A. kitzmilcr of Braw-
ley on ii charge of reckless driving,
and pleaded guilty. He was fined

MANY PERMITS
TAKEN OUT FOR
new BUNGALOWS
New Church Among Per-
mits Taken Out In
October

During the month of October,
building permits were issued
through Building Inspector +. G.
Overs department for more than
$4,000 worth of new construction,
the total for the preceding month
being $35,050.
From the residential point of
view the most important work is
that being undertaken by M. T. Me
Gregor, who is building half doz-
en- residences for j. II. Snyder, of
Pasadena, ON Hamilton between
Fifth and Sixth streets, each dwell
ing to cost $4,000. This will help in
the housing shortage somewhat, but
many more desirable homes are need
cd to. relieve the situation.
Harry Copeland ON Second and
Main is putting up two-story room
ing house at cost of $4,000, and or
the back of the Whiting Mead prop
erty ut 10Th and Main that firm is
erecting an up to date bungalow for
their local manager, WHICH will be
followed, it is reported, by other
residences for the staff.
r. f. Couch s home destroyed by
fire is being repaired at cost of
$l200 OH Orange avenue, and Emery
Girard is building Il small dwelling
for Emma Williams at Fifth and
Hamilton ut Il cost of $1,000, while
II. Deano has added another ice
tank room to his ice house on Main
street to cost $1,000.
John Foley is building a small two
roomed dwelling on Eighth and
to cost $500, and Herman
Houston is erecting Il four room
dwelling at Sixth and Holt for En-
ma Pouge to cost $1,000.
A new church edifice is under
contemplation, the First Church of
Christ Scientist having taken out a
permit for the erection of a modern
on Seventh and Olive, the
structure to be erected by j. W.. +;
Natcz at a cost of $1,000
The rest of the permits arc of a /!
minor character.
When the fact is taken into con
sideration that the September per
mits included contracts for the i
Mead and new DelanO ice
structures and that this month IS
business is principally made up of
small contracts for homes, the show
Hg for October is very creditable |
indeed.

CT the Treasury Mellon and H.
ternal Revenue Commissioner

ity section of the tax law as un-
