tains that he is very much alive,
but at the same time given a heroic
touch to the episode of the Inflated

The youth managed to free him
self from the wreckagc, and after
some difficulty gained the bank

leading to the conjecture that the
car driver had drowned.
From here they were picked up

MARRIED WOMEN
APPROVED OF AS
SCHOOL TEACHERS

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. IL
William John Cooper, California s
new superintendent of schools, to-
day championed married women as
school teachers. Although he did
not enter into the argument
brought up recently by George Ber-
nard Shaw, who declared that
''every school teacher should have

establishment of associations for
the protection of married women
teachers.
Such associations are already in
operation in San Diego and Fresno,
he said, and are governed by care
fully planned codes of ethics. These
provide that the married women
teachers shall make proper provis-
ion for their own children, take
leaves of absence when family ad-
ditions are expected, and take their
proper part in school teaching and
administration.
"The entire question is one of
personal honor,' said Cooper. "in
which children are the first con,
ccrn. If married women give rela-
lively the same service as unmar.
ried women, and take proper care
Of their own affairs, they should be
allowed to teach.'

perial County, and for the same rca-
son, no representation from lmpe-
rial County had an opportunity to
80 present said matter, and,

produced and are of such pcrishablc
nature that they must be shipped
when maturcd, or allowed to waste,
and,
2nd: That the soil and climate of
Imperial Valley are such that many

Heavy Damage to Public

Over Large Area.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. II. - Torn
and battered to the extent of dam
age that will total hundreds of
thousands of dollars, Southern Cali
fornia was emerging today from the
grip of storm, the most serious in
many years, which cut a path of
destruction over 200 mile area.
Although hundreds are homeless
and scores are reported missing,
the death toll for the record storm,
which brought almost seven inches
of rain in this city, will be COM
paratively small.
With bridges demolished, high
ways washed out, telephone and
telegraph lines down and entire
sections of the southland inundated,
every type of communication, with
the possible exception of radio
was completely shattered for a
time and will be crippled for
many days.
From the storm lashed coast cit

sorts, the furious onslaught of the
elements left in its wake damage
that will total more than S 100000
i'll this city alone.
Efforts to resume transcontinen-
tai travel, which has been almost
completely at a standstill, will be
made today Few trains have en-
tered or departed for the east in the
past "a hours and traffic, both rail
and highway to the north and
south has been completely paralyz-
ed.
Public utilities suffered an enor,
nous damage from the storm, and
employees of light, power and tele.
phone companies battled with swOl-
len streams and torrent like rivers
throughout the night and today ta
restore nOrmalcy.
Families Marooned
In sections of the beach cities
and in the lowlands of Los Angeles
hundreds of families were marooned
by the flood waters and rescued by
police in row boats. The Red Cross,
Salvation Army and other rescue
organizations have turned out in
full strength and are administering
help to the needy.
Dams in many sections of the
country were reaching capacity but
officials of the county flood con-
troll expressed the belief that the
peak of the high water had been
reached and no fear is felt from
that source.
Dry river beds that had been
turned into raging cataracts, were
beginning to fall and it was gener-
alyl believed, that unless more rain
falls today, flooded areas will get
relief from the flood waters.
An estimate made by B. II. Me-
Guire, president of the board of
public works, places the damage to
public structures at $l,000,000. Fol
lowing survey it was announced
the principal damage was suffered
by bridges.
The course of the flood waters
was marked by an unparalleled de-
struction of bridges in Los Angeles
county, seven having been reported
washed out including the following:

with reference to n conference oven
the bill, mentioned by Easley i'll his
testimony.
"I positively remember nothing

honor, l presented the pill to AS
semblyman Nelson in the presence
of Assemblyman West" countered
Easley.
Then Assemblyman Ebert G, Ad
ans of Livingston arose to pour Gil
on the troubled waters by declaring
that he didn't blame any legislator
for not remembering anything that

SHANGHAI, Feb. 17-Reports
from Hangchow today indicated that
the rout of the Shanghai defenses
there had been complete and it was
announced at the United States
consulate that the U. S. S. trans
port Chaumont had been ordered to
proceed direct to Shanghai with
1900 marines aboard.
Troops of Marshal Sun Chuan
Fang, Chinese defender of Shang-
hal, against the advance of the

streaming out of Hangchow aboard
northbound trains.
Sun, so far as could be learned
today, still was at Marking, $50
miles northwest of Hangchow and
about the same distance west If
Shanghai.
No word had been received from
Sun today as to his plans, if any,
to stem the Nationals: tide.
1t was understood here that the
Chaumont with marines aboard, was
to have made an intermediate stop
between Honolulu and Shanghai,
probably at Manila. But the con-
sulate said that those plans had
been changed, and thai the Chau-
mont would arrive here February

GENEVA, Feb. 17-Demand that
the British government withdraw
troops ordered to China has been
made here by the Chinese delegation
in a note to- Secretary General Sir
Erie Drumm upon instructions
ON the for3,gn offjc" at Peking.
The note, delivered by the
Chinese envoy to the League of
Nations, Chao Hsin Chu, insisted
that the British government res
cind the order On the grounl that
the Chinese forces were adequate to
handle the situation or meet any
emergency.
The presence of English troops on
Chinese soil complicated the situa
tion, the note said. The note con-
tanned copy of the recent pro-
test of the Peking government
handed the British minister at
Peking on January 81, which pro-
tested against the despatch of Brit
ish troops to China as violation
of the Washington agreement and
article 10 of the League covenant.
This covenant insures the territor-
ial rights and POLITICAL autonomy of
League members.
Chu s note, it was believed, was
intended as a reply to Sir Austin
Chamberlain 3 recent note to the
League, outlining the British policy
in China, and the Chinese demand
was interpreted as an attempt to
force the British hand.
1t was believed that Chu will
force a discussion of the note at
