Rap U, S, RULE
OF NICARAGUA
StickerS on Mail Protest
Marine Intervention.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 21.-A new
drive of protest against American
Marines in Nicaragua is now under
way by means Of stickers attached
to letters, in spite of the fact that
the PoStoffice Department put a
summary stop to a similar attempt
last winter.
So far no move has been made
by the department to stop this pro-
test, and apparently none is con-
templated.
Last winter there was a storm of
protest from Liberals when the post
Office declared letters bearing stick
ers with the legend protest against
United States Marine rule in Mica
ragua" we're declared unavailable.
The matter was carried to the
courts by the All-America Anti
Imperialist League and was decided
in favor of the Government in a
decision which declared the league
did not come to the court with clean
hands.
These new stickers say protest
against United States Marines in
Nicaragua" Several hundred of
them have been sent out on letters
in the past month, from New York.
None has been returned except one
where it developed an error had
been made.

The accident occurred near

Learn to Float: Major
S1Cim Problem Is SOIUed
Bernioe zitenfeld shows how to float.

ing for that second wind that may
be better than the first wind, if it
only comes.
Floating is really easy as can
be, if you remember to think OF
your backbone while doing it.
Take the deepest breath you can
and turn on your back as you do
it. Kick your feet up slightly. II
they seem inclined to fall to the
bottom, as most unframed feet do.
Keep the body arched. Don't be
afraid to let the head rest back
on the water. 1t is as # you
were sleeping on a bed without
a pillow and your head felt a bit
lower than your body.
This is the only way you can
float successfully. For If you IN
sist on raising the head, that arch
of the backbone is flattened and
you sink.
Keep your feet together. You
can nut your arms down at your
sides. This is perhaps preferable
until you get experienced. Then
YOU can fold your arms under
your head for a pillow and it
makes no difference.
Open your eyes if you feel at
all worried. 1t may reassure you
to see the blue heavens or the top
of the swimming tank.
After you get your position &C
curately, you will feel light as a
cork, and find you can ride the bill
lows with the same ease as a
cork.
Try not to mind if the water
breaks over you. You will stay on
top unless you get frightened and
turn over or let your back collapse
or swallow water.
Floating is one pleasure many
persons might learn without know
ing how to swim, if properly
taught.
One can help a beginner, If he
is careful not to help too much.
Putting the hand under the mack
and holding it there any length of
time accustoms the floater to that
much support
But if one Just arches tloater's
back and leaves him, it might nelp.
The straightness Of the body is
the main thing. Keep the feet
near the top of the water. This
can be done by kicking slightly
every time they seem to be getting
away.
After you really learn to float,
you will find that you can breathe,
look at the scenery and enjoy life
on top of the waves.

FARMER PAYS FOR AID
AIMED AT HOOVER
Former Republican BIames Drop in
Land Value on Party.
BIZ United PreSa

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 20-At least one
former Republican farmer is so
wrathful at his party that he has
begun spending his own money to
urge fellow farmers to vote against
its nominee.
F. G. Snow, a resident of Kanka-
kee, who owns and operates 5000
acres in Illinois, Iowa and Indiana,
recently paid for a full-page anti
Hoover advertisement in a Kanka-
kee newspaper. The advertisement
said:
Il do not care whether you are
Catholic or Protestant, wet or dry;
the fact remains that the steady
conflscation of farm lands is still
going on and to an alarming extent,
and because the conditions that are
causing It are absolutely political
and no fault of the farmer as
whole, except his vote. I claim that
vote against Hoover is a vote for
a $50 average increase in the price
of land and a chance to return to
a fair measure of prosperity"

OLD FOLKS IN
REBELLION AT
FOOD QUALITY
Seek Relief From Endless
SteWs and Scarcity
of Meat.
MEAL BUDGET SMALL
Butter Served Three Times
a Week; Chicken
Twice Yearly.
MEAL BUDGET SMALL
BY MORRIS MOORE

Stew, stew, stew, then some soup
some hash and still more stew.
Give us a square meal once in a
while!
This is the plea Of some inmates
of the County Inf1rmary, who have
asked that an inquiry into their fare
be made.
The food appropriation averages
20 cents a day for each of the 425
inmates.
Meat-not luscious steaks, but
wholesome meat of any kind that
will stick to the ribs. That's what
the broken, old people are asking
for.
They do get meat, declares Super
intendent j. Carter. He declares
they get meat ten times week.
Here's how:
Meat Ground
Sliced, boiled meat is served twice,
three times the residue goes into
hash (35 to 40 pounds for 425 in
mates) twice more a week into
stews and three times a week
smoked side meat is used to season
beans.
Some of the inmates insist that
they can only recognize meat on the
menu twice week. They declare
the hash is minus meat. Carter
has an explanation for this:
"We have the meat ground up
and cooked into the hash with the
vegetables because if it were cut
into cubes or chunks the walters
would give more to their favorite in
mates in return for tobacco or some
such favor"
The inmates medium of exchange
is tobacco.
Chicken Twice Year
The inmates don't go entirely
without a banquet.
Once a year-on Easter-they get
eggs for breakfast, they say.
And twice year they get chicken
on Christmas and Thanksgiving
or some other holiday.
The rest of the year its the same
routine some inmates say.
jc w. Bare, State Board of
CharIy inspector, investigated the
infrmary menu last week and
recommended that more eggs, milk
and butter be fed the old folks.
Limited by Appropriation
Carter said an effort to comply
would be made, but declares he has
to struggle to make the $4,000 a
year food appropriation from county
council cover costs now. He says
the poultry flock of the 30o-acre

ASSASSIN OF
OREGON Gets
z DAYS TO LIVE
Confessed Killer Will Be
Given Civil Trial for
Murder.
BY GESFORD F. FINE
United Press stan Correspondent

MEXICO CITY, July 2l.-Inquiry
along religious lines" continued to-
day into the assassination Of Gen.
Alvaro Obregon, president-elect, with
punishment of Jose De Leon Toral,
the confessed killer, delayed for at
leastt wo days.
Toral is to be given a civil trial
and at present the war department
and police officials are prevented
from proceeding against the young
caricaturist by an Amparo-similar
to writ of habeas corpus-granted
Friday.
Civil trial for Toral is unusual for
Mexico in the case of such a crime.
Generally execution is summary,
such as was the execution of four
men who attempted to bomb Cen
eral Obregon's motor car last fall.
They were executed by firing squad
48 hours after the crime.
New Arrests Are Made
But it was apparent from the
announcement that Toral would be
given a civil trial that the govern
ment Of President Gales desires to
avoid any possible outside criticism
and that also they believe a civil
hearing might result in learnt "
who-if any one-aided Toral III
the crime.
1t was learned authoritativcly
that new arrests had been made
in addition to the ten known II be
arrested-and that the investisa-
ton probably would continue fer
about two days.
The young assassin continues
holding up we'll under the ordeal.
He had expected to be killed for his
crime, it became known today, and
apparently is surprised at the de-
lay.
QuizEed by Gales
Shortly after he was arrested
President Gales questioned Toral
with the following reported text of
questions and answers:
Who influenced your" Gales
asked.
1T was a mandate of Christ the
King that the laws of his religion
should reign over Mexico" Toral
replied
What was your object?"
THAT the people might not be
damned"
Who were your accomplices?"
Il had none. I did it all alone
If I had accomplices they would
only have provoked confusion.
"How did you expect to emerge
from this crime?"
Il believed I would be killed, but
you see I am still alive. This is
proof that all is the work of the
Holy Spirit"
Have you parents, wife or any
relative?"
Predicted Assassination
II have, but this is something that
interests no one but my God and
me-"
What is your name?"
Call me Juan"
"And your last name?"
This does not interest any one.
My name is simply Juan, nothing
more"
Meanwhile the body of former
President Obregon neared his Son
ora home after delays, due to rebel
destructiveness.
1t became known also that Gen
eral Obregon had predicted he
might be assaSsinated from behind
just as ne was at the La Bombilla
restaurant Tuesday-eXactly one
year before he was killed.
July II, 1927 he told his followers
Our enemies are unable to fight
face to face, either politically or
with arms. They will endeavor to
strike from the back"
