Old Dutch Oven Found.

Near Stangeville, about IL miles
from Luxembourg, Wis, are the re-
mains of an old time Dutch oven
which years ago was used to bake
bread and roast steaks. These ovens
were constructed of stone or brick.
built to a height of about or 5
feet above the ground, hole or large
flue with a fiat bottom being lined
with fire clay. This f1ue sometimes
ended in a chimney, which was pro-
vided to increase the draft. The f1ue
measured approximately IS inches to
2 feet across the bottom, says the
Milwaukee Journal.
When the settlers, Bohemian or
German. wished to bake bread or
roast steak in one of these ovens
1t was first necessary to start fire
in the f1ue, which later became the
oven. This fire was kept going until
the stones, bricks and fire clay be-
came very hot. The embers were
then withdrawn and the oven
swabbed out with a long handled
brush so as to remove all ashes and
cinders. With a long handled. spade
like utensil the loaves to be baked
or the steak were placed on the hot
bottom of the oven and the opening
was then closed with bricks. The
baking required several hours, but
the gradually diminishing heat gave
The bread and meat a particularly fine
flavor

Mission in 1771." the writer points
out, che planted not only the first
grapevine in California, but also the
roots of a vast industry. The benign
Franciscan padre could hardly be ex.
pected to know that from that little
shoot of grapevine would sprout an in.
dustry worth $350,000,0 900, with en-
ployment for 100.000 persons.
Father Serra's original vine still
grows" the writer continues. "In the
yard of an old inn at San Gabriel the
patriarch of grapevines stands just
where the old monk-now 143 years
dead-planted 1t. 1t is said to be the
largest grapevine in the world. Eight
feet in circumference, its gnarled and
twisted trunk filings long, winding

acre. A ton of grapes is it's annual

convivial times still recall the custom
of country folk to gather and sip their
wine under its shade"

The Penitentes. Americas eccentric

which was climaxed with the crucifix.
ion of "El Cristo." This queer cult

they assemble for their annual cere.
monial which ends on Good Friday.

who is chosen in advance of the cere.
mony to re-enact the cruc;fixion of
Christ. This is considered the highest
honor possible for Penitente. He is
tied to a cross for two hours, when he
is taken down for a general celebra.
ton.
Although the members are cautious
to preserve secrecy regarding their
ceremonies, many people claim to have
witnessed parts of them. What Is
said to be their most common method
of elf-punishment or torture is the
use of cactus needs. They use this
as whip and lash themselves alter
nately over each shoulder, while they
drag heavy cross fashioned of wood.

ANGLO RUSSIAN SPLIT
IN LABOR PACT SEEN
Trade Union Movements to Sepa-
rate Over Red Manifesto, Says
London Newspaper.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, July 1.--A1l relations be.
tween the trade union movements of
Great Britain and Russia, the labor
correspondent of the Westminster Ga
zette learns, will cease within few
weeks. This, he says, will follow upon
the publications of what is described
as an "impertinent document" from
the alfred trade union congress Sc
yerelv censuring the attitude of the
general council of the trade union con-
gress of Great Britain in connection
with the severance of Anglo-Russian
relations.
The document, which is in the form
of a manifesto addressed 90 the proie4
tariat of Russia and Great Britain, &C.
cording to the Westminster Gazette,
charges the trade union council with
treacherously opposing and attempt
ing sabotage of the consistent class
proletarian initiative of the all-unlon
central council"
The newspaper describes the mani
festo as also appealing to the British
proletariat over the head of the trade
union congress for direct action
against the British government.
The correspondent understands that
the trade union congress regards sne
manifesto as a definite and deliberate
breach of the agreement existing pc
tween the two branches of the Anglo
Russian trade union committee.

TAX PETITION GIVEN
!. T0COMM|SS|ONERS
Three Trade Groups Submit
Plea for $1.65 Rate and
Larger U. S. Share.

The Districts three trade organiZa
tions, the Board of Trade, Chamber OF
Commerce and Merchants and Manu-
lecturers Association, submitted to the
Commissioners today a joint petition
advocating a tax rate of $1.65 for the
192S-1929 fiscal year, and urging that
every effort be made to have the Fed
eral Government increase it's contri-
button to the expenses of the District.
The petition was based on the action
taken by committees representing
these organizations at meeting Wed
nesday.
The trade bodies, which the petition
declared represent the bulk of local
taxes, feel strongly that tax levy of
$1.65 en- the present high assessment
Is a tax burden which is comparable
to that paid by property owners IN
cities of corresponding size.
Urges Fair Proportion.
"The committee are aware that the
many and pressing needs of the
District of Columbia at the present
time cannot be met Immediately by
the estimated income from the tax
rate recommended" the petition read.
1.-The citizens of this community
should not be expected to pay more
than a fair total--as compared with
cities of comparable size-for the
maintenance and development of the
Nations Capital. Consequently the
committees urge that every possible
effort be made to increase the APP
preparation made by the Federal Gov
eminent for this expense, which is
primarily a national responsibility"
Signers of Petition.
The petition was signed by Edwin
C. Graham, president of the Board of
Trade: M. A. Leese, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and Maj. Gen.
Anton Stephan, president of the Mer.

ton. 1t was submitted to the Com
