W. c. 7. U.-Femnis is Urge Equal Rights.

was the address of Miss Dorothy
Evans of London, sent as the official
representative of combined European
feminist organizations to the national
convention of the American group,
which opened Thursday at Colorado
Springs. Miss Evans urged equality
of men and women throughout the
world, suggesting the cooperation of
the feminist groups in the United
States and Europe as the shortest
cut" to the goal. She declared that in
order to wipe out the discrimination
against women in political, legal and
industrial spheres, it will be necessary
to bring the equal rights point Of
view before the national parliaments
and world councils.
I'VE must make special effort to
bring the spirit of feminism into the
internatio labor office of the League
of Nations at Geneva" said Miss
Evans. At present. only the employer
and the male employe are represented
in the deliberations of the interna-
tional labor office. No consideration is
given the woman worker.
Mrs. Harry Williams made a strong
appeal for united action of farm wom-
en-, declaring that, if organized into
strong units, the farm women-as we'll
as their husbands--would prove pow
erful influence in gaining legislation
that would put their class of industry
on an equal basis with the other great
industries of the world, none of which
are conducted as unselfishly and with
as little personal profit as ours, the
most essential to the welfare of a
nation" she asserted.
Following the tea, the delegates be-
gan the cross-country journey to the
scene of the convention.

CONSUMERS IN FRANCE
PROTEST PRICE OF COAL

PARIS OP).-French coal consumers

Of coal and what they call the gov.
ernment's protection of the coal in.
dustry's excessive profits"
On the gold basis, say the DIRECTORS,
coal should be five times pre-war
prices, since this represents the de-
probation Of the franc. Coal, how
ever, costs more than seven times the
cost in 1918.
Recent DEGREES barred the importa-
ton of foreign Goals, with few excep-
tons. Trade journals say this pro-
lection is not justified and that prices
are almost so per cent too high They
demand the admission of foreign coal
to put prices on world basis.

JACGAR |NSPECTS
. 70 BIC VOLCANOES
Geological Survey Official
Completes Cruise Among
: Western AIeutian Islands.

%hEHSNi"t~NA
DUTCH HARBOR, Alaska, July g.
With a report of having seen 20 large
volcanoes, DIR. T. A. Jaggar, volcanolo
sist from Hawaii, in charge OF vol
Cano investigations for the United
States Geological Survey, has return
ed here from n cruise in the Western
Aleutian Islands to Atlla on the Coast
Guard cutter Unalga. Both the
Bogosloff and Gareloi volcanoes are
active. DR.. Jaggar said.
With Comdr. Perkens Of the I'm
alga, DR.. Jaggar landed on Bogosloff
Island. where he found a new steam
ing inner cone of hot rough lava in
the volcano. surrounded by a ring
shaped lagoon of warm salt water.
Outside of this was a complete ring
of gravel, with beaches inside and out
side, and no open channel anywhere
between the two older rock peaks,
which lie at the two ends of Bogosloff
Island.
Intense Activity Observed.
DR.. Jaggar is of the opinion thata new
spell of intense activity has started on
Bogosloff closely resembling the erup-
ton of 1900. The volcano apparently
had erupted in December, 1926. The
surrounding ground is pitted with re-
Gently fallen bombs, covered with big
pumice blocks, gravel, sand and ash.
A herd of almost 400 sea lions was
found living on the beaches close to
the active lava dome and millions OF
sea birds were nesting in the cliffs
and sand banks. There was sui
phurous steam, but no noXious gas
was encountered.
The western Aleutian region is i'm
pressive in the extent of UNEMPLOYED
coast line. There are 600 miles of Pa
ciflo shore virtually unknown and 100
uncharted harbors.
Collaboration Proposed.
A project has been started under
the volcano section of the National
Research Association to establish col
liberation among the scientific bu
reaus of the Government for mapping,
charting and exploring this great life
reservation.
DR.. Jaggar found sedimentary rocks
extending the formations of the
Alaska peninsula far beyond Atka, so
that when the mapping is concluded
1t is possible that valuable economic
deposits may be discovered in the
islands. The volcanoes merely skirt
the north edge of the island belt, SO
there is a great area without vol
canoes.

Slaves Taught Romans.

BY tradition slaves are of a lower
intelligence than their owners, but in
ancient Rome the order was reversed,
says the Kansas City Times. The
Romans conquests in all parts of the
known world and the mercilessness
with which their conquests were eff
fected brought into their hands con-
tinual supply of racial hodgepodge of
every degree Of education, skill and
intelligence.
The Persians who had conquered
the Babylonians; even the Greeks who
had conquered the Persians, and the
Macedonians who, under Alexander
had conquered the world, all became
the slaves of Rome. OF these crowds
of captives the Roman made unblush-
ing use. His villas and temples, his
bridges and viaducts, theaters, cir
cuses, baths and arches of triumph
all were built by slaves forced to use
their higher intelligence for their
captors' benefit.
Captives taught the Roman chill
dren, instructed would-be senators in
debate and oratory; poets, on alien
strung Tyres, sang to the Romans
wives and daughters; foreign physi-
clans fought disease with skill they
had not been able to display in arms,
and in Roman factories craftsmen
from other lands forged arms and
made chariots for further conquests
by the Romans.

POWER RATES

With The Southern Sierras Power Company an
nounclng reduction in power rates, and the Imper-
laI irrigation District preparing plans which it de-
cIaIes Will produce electricity at still cheaper rate
there appears to be the dawn Of new era for I7per-
ial Valley residents and business men, who have long
groaned under a heavy electrical burden.
The reduction by the Southern Sierras COMPANY is
made with the idea that lower rate will increase the
gross consumption, thereby off-setting any loss the
company might have to take the result of the re-
ducton
Plans made by the district embrace utilizing the ma
tura and artificial drops in the canal system to gem
crate hydro-electric power. Because of small over
head and compact system the district declares it
can produce power, at profit, at rate heretofore
unknown to valley residents.
he small and large consumer will be united in
hoping that the Southern Serrras can eventually
make another reduction and that the district cam at
some future date, when production is an actuality
chop off little of its proposed rate Competition is
the life of trade" according to the proverb and as
the consumer benefits accordingly, he is inclined to
hope that competition will be strong.
1t will be very pleasant for the newspapers if there
Is to be battle between the district and the power
company to give valley residents electrical service
They will have ADVERTISE we all grow rich the
consumer will be smiling instead of growing when
his power bill comes in, and everybody will be happy

MEN HELD UP
BY BANDITS ON
IMPERIAL ROAD

F. OImstcad and Eddie Odlc of
1922 Commercial avenue were vie
tins Of two holdup men on the I'm.
perial highway about 7:4O last
night, The two men were relieved
of nearly 500 in cash at the point
of gun. u
In reporting the matter to the
police Olmstcad said they had gone
on motor trip looking for work
Yesterday afternoon and were on
their way back to FL Centre when
one of the tires of their machine
went flat.
Olmstcad said that while they
were working on the car Buick
machine, closed car, drove up and
two heavy set men, close to six feet
tall got out and came over to their
machine. One of them immediately
drew a gun and ordered them to
hold up their hands and turn their
backs.
The other man started searching
Gdle, he said, while the man with
the gun came up behind him and
started going through his pockets.
rs the man grabbed his wallet
OlmSteam started to turn but the
hold-up man dug the nose of the
revolver into his ribs and ordered
him to hold still.
Olmstead said that he had about
$50 in his pocketbook while Odle
had little less than $40, which the
men took, After getting the money
the holdup men forced the victims
to keep their hands over their
heads and their backs turned, one
Of them starting the car and the
other then leaping into the machine
which speeded toward FL Centre.
The men completed their work of
repairing their own car and then
hurried TO police headquarters where
they filed the report. An investi-
cation was begun immediately but
no trace Of the bandits could be
found.
