 Creates Work for Artists
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Mar. 13.-Hand painted slippers for evening wear, which are the vogue just now, have created work for numerous artists who had never thought of doing anything Of the kind before but who have found that this kind of painting pays them better than turning out pictures.
 The novelty was introduced in London by the popular Duchess of York who is one of the smartest of the smartly attired young women The idea spread like wild fire, and was quickly taken up by other so- ciety women.
 The foundation of these shoes is satin, mostly in delicate shades, al though there have been some ex- quisite models in old gold, bronze and black On the toe cap, and ta~ pering off along each side, neat designs are painted in delicate shades to match the color of the satin.

 It is an old saying that in the United States it is four generations from overalls to overalls. That is not literally true, but the evil influ ence of permitting children of wealth to become useless snobs and wastrels is evident. The aged multi-milliOn aire who rose from something like poverty to fortune that makes Croe sus appear i'll the role of piker knows the danger and he wants to save his own heirs from it.
 Viewed from that angle, his prac tice of limiting his birthday gifts to shiny nickels, or dimes on occa sion, can be the more readily un derstood and appreciated.

Dorothy slept well last night in

ride her companions were buxom
matrons and a deputy sheriff.
Dorothy brought with her only a
Bible. Her books of poems and her
clothing will arrive later.
Life for Dorothy here will be
similar to the routine of all the
other women. She will be given
light work, vet have an opportunity
for recreation and amusements.
There are picture shows for those
who arc able to view them and
other diversions.

A. i. Eaton of La Mesa, gave a
very interesting talk on Mexico be-
fore the members of the FL Centre
Kiwanis Club at the weekly punch-
con this noon, and held the unGivid-
ed attention of his audience as he
gave brief, though comprehensive
summary of conditions in the great
republic to the south.
The speaker said he has spent 20
ital and American business methods
he has visited practically every see
tion of the country. He referred to
The s.agnation of industry during
the long Diaz regime and contrast
ed it with the energy which has
been shown in Mexican industrial
circles during the past five years.
Of the 16,O0G,OO0 inhabitants of
Mexico, approximately 100000
are Indians or of mixed Indian blood
he said, and while the natural re-
sources of the country are cnorm-
Gus, they are woefully undeve'oped.
1t is Il country of contrasts, Eaton
stated, many people being immense
~ wealthy on one hand and on the
other Il vast portion of the papula-
tion lives n hand to mouth exist
cnce, hardly knowing one day where
their food is coming from for the
next day.
Much of the cause for the un-
developed state of the resources of
the country, he said, is due to
lack of confidence in American cap
years in Mexico, during which time
and he urged that this condition
should be given attention by Amer
lean industrial leaders.
Lauds Obregon
lie paid a high tribute to former
President Obregon, who did a super
human job in his opinion in bring
ing his courtry out of a decade of
turmoil into productive era that
bids fair to place the nation in
the front rank of American repub-
lies. Much of the time Obregon
was in office, he was confined to
his bed, the speaker said, this max
ing his work all the more praise
worthy.

Now Up to Upper
House
BY United Press Leased wire

SACRAMENTO, Calf. April 10.
The assembly today concurred
with the senate amendments to the
Johnson bill which places a two
cent tax per pound on oleomargar-
inc. This action completes the
legislature S work in the matter and
the bin will go to the governor for
final consideration. W
"A bill by Assemblyman Henry r.
Garter relating to the business of
training animals and providing for
the registration of trainers was re-
fused passage. This bill would
have required a registration fee of
SO from animal trainers, the money
to be used in financing the inspec-
tion of methods used by them.
A measure creating a state park
commission to take over the ad-
ministration of all state parks was
among the bills passed in the up-
per house. Creation of a commits
sion for the reform of criminal pro-
eedure is authorized by another bill
passed today.
The assembly recessed from noon
until ) p. m. in observance of Good
Friday. 1t was planned to hold
night session this evening in order
to clean the files before the week
end adjournment.
Governor Signs Bill
Governor Friend w. Richardson
today announced he had. signed the
following bills: :
Assembly bill $40, by Cleveland,
amending the apple packing bill so
as to make it cover the various in
dustries and bring it up to date.
Assembly bill 107, bv Eksward,
granting tide lands to the city Of

Assembly bill 1856, validating an
nexation proceedings by municipal

The chief executive also announc-
ed his endorsement of the San Joa-
quin county government bill relat-
ing to salaries of county Officers.
Similar bills for Mono and Cal
averas counties were also signed by
the governor, as were senate bills
54 and ~. The former measure
makes provision in the imniigra-
tion and housing act extending the
act to include cities of the sixth
class while the latter grants GER
tain tidelands to National CITY.
Reapportionment
Settlement of the reapportion-
ment problem today was placed
squarely up to the legislature when
the senate committee on reappor-
tionment reported back two pro-
posals seeking a re-divisioning of
the state S legislative districts.
The committee refused to either
endorse or condemn the measures,
thereby shifting the entire respon
sibility to the upper house.
One of the measures, drawn up
by Senators Ed Sample, San Diego,
Harry Chamberlin, Los Angeles ands
t. c. West of Alameda, calls for a
reapportionment along the line very
similar to the requirements of the
present constitution.
San Francisco would lose two
senators and two assemblymen un-
der the plan, while Los Angeles
would gain two senator's and five
assemblymen.
The other plan, included in a pro
posed constitutional amendment,
calls for the so-called three eights
five eights plan, which would give
the rural sections complete control
of the upper house.

mates that between 800 and $50

The final report states regarding
the season.:
Features of the 1924-25 season
have been a considerable increase in
acreage, a large amount of inferior
stock rs a result of adverse wealth
er, and active market through most
of the deal and new high records es-
tablished for volume of shipments.
Around $4,000 acres were planted to
lettuce, compared with 10000 acres
last year and $4,000 acres the pre-
vious year.
"a new record of 225 ears for
one days loading was made on
March 26. Last season the peak
was 100 cars ON February q and
in 1928, l67 ears on March s.
Much of the crop was planted
late, due to the water shortage
which existed in the valley last fall.
Cold weathec IN the fall and winter
reduced the yield and produced
small sizes. The quality through
out the season was generally infer
ior due to heIearly freezes and
later to the prolonged warm period
in February and March. -
