Six Opposed to
Oregon Had Died
(By The Associated Press)

Assassination Of General Alvaro
Oregon recalls violent deaths of
six men at one time or another OPP
posed TO Oregon.
OF major opponents of General OBJ
RECON since his victory over Pancho
Villa at Celaya in 1915, but one re-
mains alive. That one is Adolfo de
Ia Huerta, an exile at Los Angeles,
dent Of Mexico and head of the an
successful revolt against the Oregon
administration in 1923-24.
Venustiano Carranza, president Of
Mexico, against whom Oregon led
a revolt from his native state Of
Sonora, was driven from Mexico City
by victorious Obregonistas and on
the night Of May 20, 1920. was shot
while he slept in a house in the hills
Of Vera Cruz. Various charges were
made as to the identity and connec-
tions of his assassin, but the matter
has never been settled.
Gales Election Fought
Pancho Villa was killed on July
20, 1923. Obregon won his name as
a military leader with his defeat of
Villa at Celaya. In the first years Of
his administration as president he
sent Villa back to his Durango ranch
with a promise Of government pro-
lection from his enemies. But Villa
was an unstable political quantity.
He was killed from ambush near
Parral, Chihuahua. The identity of
his assassins was never fully estab-
lished.
The presidential campaign of 1924
was holly contested between Plutarco
Elias Gales and General Angel
Flores. Gales, friend Of Oregon,
won, while Flores went back 70 his
Sinaloa home and complained that
election officials-this was during
O~bregon's administration-had kept
his followers away from the polls.
Flores had a faculty for disturbing
de facto governments. He died Of

VALLEY SPUDS

Continued from page one)
The situation is one that de-
mands concerted action on the
part of Valley consumers. Every
housewife should realize that every
pound of California potatoes pur-
chased means a loss to Valley
growers. Every hotel, cafe and
restaurant should make it a point
to serve Valley potatoes only and
to inform their patrons that they
are serving the Valley product,
which is in every respect superior
10 the white potato Of the west
coast.
Scores of Valley farmers placed
potatoes in storage at Weslaco
when the Eastern and Northern
markets collapsed during the peak
Of the potato shipping season. They
were under the impression that the
Valley consumers would prefer
Valley products and the outside
markets would improve. They had
no thought that the Valley con-
sumers would demand California
potatoes 10 the extent that four to
five cars would be shipped into
this section each week while the
Valley potatoes were permitted 10
remain in storage, 10 be thrown
away unless the consumers come
TO the rescue Of the growers.
Very few Valley potatoes get into
the California markets. although the
Valley products goes onto the mar
ket two to three weeks the earliest
Californiens are loyal 10 their own
state. They demand California
products, and insist that every dol
lar that can be kept in the state
he retained there.

against our institutions, will renew
its energy, and no to the
nation that the liberal principles Of
the social revolutionary movement,
which popular conscience affirmed Is

1T IS a sriminal illusion and stupid
s~elf-deceit to think that Mexico can

our dark periods Of the past.

legendary optimism 1t was good world, he thought,

and enjoy it to the fullest.
He was philosopher who followed his own phi
losophy.

Depew was a successful lawyer and railroad eXecu-

boyhood and served two terms in the United States
Senate.
He had nnumerable social contacts and associa-
tons. His friends were legion and his enemies were
few. He worked hard, and liked it. He believed in
doing as he pleased-in moderation-and in letting
others follow their incinations His interest and
participation in what was going on around him

Married Women Working

You still hear, now and then, repetitions OF the
arguments that ragged SO furiously few years ago
whether married women should work outside the
home.
Now Miss Mary Anderson head of the Women's
Bureau Of the United States Department of Labor
announces that there are 100000 married women
gainfully employed in the United States. Further
more she asserts that all but very few Of them are
working because they have to and not because they
want to.
VERY few women choose to carry two jobs for the
pleasure of doing it," says Miss Anderson. only
about two per cent of the employed married women
work for luxuries or a career"
One concludes that the issue isn't very live one,
after ALL Most when they get married, prefer
to stay at home unless financial conditions compel
them to go to work That, at least is what one in
fers from Miss Anderson's statement

Bow Scouts Show Their Work

Thirty phases OF Boy Scout activities will be on
display in an elaborate exposition prepared by the
flower Of indianapolis youth at Tominson Hall today
and Saturday,
Thirty phases are shown of work which, with
out much advertising such, probably is doing more
toward leading American boys into the paths of
good citizenship and upright manhood than any other
force perhaps more in direct way than even the
church.
The youngsters have worked for weeks on the dis
plays They will be disappointed if thousands of
persons, other than just their relatives do not come
to their show-the GROWING feature of Boy Scout
week.
We all know in a vague way that the Scout move
ment is a good thing-whether we have children or
not. A visit to the show will give us more exact
knowledge of the useful things our youngsters DO
with that dangerous spare time.

furnished explanation of this phenomenon.
According to the Bohr theory the electrons in an
atom are revolving in orbits
When the atom is given energy as for example
when substance heated the electrons in the atom
absorb the energy and in consequence leap out into
bigger orbits.
But almost Immediately the eectrons begin to fall
back to their old orbits When they do this, they re-
lease the energy which comes forth as light.
This energy then comes forth light.
1t is released however in little dribletS or bullets
of light called quanta. The reason steady light is
emitted is because any substance consists of billions
of electrons and therefore billions of quanta
tinuously released.
The wavelength of the light is determined by the
vibration frequency of the quana. This in turn is
controlled by the distance the electron falls in drop
ping from the enlarged orbit to the original orbit
Each chemical element has its characteristic
spectrum lines because in each substance the orbits
of the electrons composing its atoms slightly diff
ferent.

Keeping Up the Pace

Great age is too frequently ac-
cepted as license to be cynical,
superior or sulky.
In one out of ten cases people
above 80 either have spent their
time weeping over the days that
are no more" boring people with
superhuous advice, or snoring in the
corner.
That particularly is true of this
era which is the first in human
history to surround old age with
customs, conveniences and institu-
tons unknown to its childhood.
The last three generations have
seen science virtually rebuild the
structure of civilization.
People have found it very diff
cult, if not impossible, to keep their
heads in the face of such a revolu-
tionary change.
Some have lost their religion,
some their self-control and some
their minds.
Chauncey M. Depew was one Of
the few who could keep step with
the ever exhilarating pace and still
retain his taste for old-fashioned
cooking, his belief in God and his
faith in everlasting youth.
