FINAL WORK in
COMPUTING Loss
in HOTEL FIRE

That the losses caused blythe sds-
den hotel fire will all have been paid
within the next two or three weeks is
the forecast. The last OF tho adjust
crs to be assigned to this work, r. A.
Henderson, of Los Angeles, is on the
ground working with Frank Culin, an
adiuster here from Tucson The third
assigned to this work, L. M Mckinley
of Phoenix, finished his work and re-
turned TO his headquarters week ago.
Mr.. Henderson, who is stopping at
Hotel Palomar, brought with him II.
+. Sheridan, also Of the Los Angeles
office, to assist in the work of adjust
ing the losses here. The work was
temporarily halted yesterday because
CT the necessity of r. o. Mackey, owner
of the hotel which was burned, to
make q trip to his home in El Paso
to bring some of the records from the
files of his business office, it having
been the custom of Mr.. Mackey to
keep his business records all at the e.
PaSo office. That will cause only q
brief delay, however, and as he he will
return this morning and the work will
be resumed today It was the ex-
pressed intention of Mr.. Henderson TO
complete his part of the adjustment
and be ready to return to Los Angeles
tomorrow.
1T looks to me like the business of
adjusting this loss will be of COM
paratively short Duration" said Mr..
Henderson. I'm all such work it is
the desire of the companies interested
to make progress just as speedily as
possible and that is my hope here Al
though I have been here but few
hours, it is apparent that those sus-
tanning losses are desirous of cooper
ating in every way possible to get their
facts assembled and when that has
been done it is largely a matter ofI
calculation
Insurance men who have had ex-
perience in handling losses for their
clients have expressed the opinion that
within 10 days or two weeks from the
date the adjusters concluded their
work on the Gadsden losses the checks
for the payments would be in the
hands of the ones whose property was
destroyed in the fire. There is a gem
sral prediction that the losses will all
have been paid by the end of the first
week of March.

TELL THE WORLD
THEY CAN HOUSE
AND FEED GUESTS

AS means of combating reports
which gained circulation in certain
quarters that there was scarcity of
hotels in Douglas, the hotel and res
taurant owners through joint eff
fort have just caused to be issued a
poster and large number of hand
bills telling the world that there are
plenty of rooms and plenty to eat for
everybody that comes to Douglas. The
posters and the hand bills will be dis
tributed in the towns and cities to the
cast, north and west of the city along
the main Travelled highways and plac-
ed in the hotels and eating houses in
points all the way to Texas on the
east and California on the west.
The same advertisement that is car
ried on these posters appears in
smaller form in The Dispatch in an
other page. 1t will be noticed that the
cafes and entertainment places in
Aqua Prieta showed their neighborly
interest in Douglas by joining the eff
fort to counteract the unfavorable re-
ports, several of them. being included
in the list of advertisers of their busi-
ness. 1t is stated by the director of
the work Of preparing this publicity
that there was but one cafe in Douglas
that did not take an interest in tell
ing the world that it had food for the
visitor and lend its effort to try to
bring the tourist through the city.

Science

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 25.-
The National League Of Commission
Merchants, together with other trade
organizations interested in agricul-
tural products, is urging greater ex-
penditures by the government for the
purpose of fundamental research In
agriculture. Representatives OF is
organizations called upon President
Coolidge last week advocating this
move, characterizing il as 'construc-
tive economy" for the nation.
In a statement to the president,
Chester Gray. Washington represent
alive of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, declared that $1,000. 00O.-
600 a year can be made for agricul-
ture by the results of reasearch by
adding TO it's income or subtracting
from its expenses.
Among examples Of beneficial re-
suits from research mentioned by
Mr.. Gray, which already are contrib
uting considerably toward "the biz
lion dollar goal" are the develop
ment Of new uses for cotton and its
by-products, the saving of the sugar
ane industry in Louisiana and in
other areas Of the South through the
breeding Of mosaic-resistant varieties
Of cane. greater utilization of the
corn crop. progress in solving the
cause of contagious abortion of cat

HOLD SCHOOL
MOTOR BUSES
TAX EXEMPT
Attorney Generals De-
partnent Rules On
Query From Cam
eron County

according to a recent opinion OF
the attorney generals department all
motor buses owned or under contract
~ independent or common school
district, and used only for transports
ing pupils to and from school,, are
exempt from the seat tax of 81 per
annum.
The opinion, which was rendered
N response to a request from Bsscom
Sox' assistant county attorney of
cameron county, is in direct con-
.iict with instructions sent out by
the state highway department to all
q collectors in the state instruct
Ing the INTO collect the seat tax on
school buses.
In the later part OF August J. J.
FOX. Cameron county tax collector,
received instructions from the state
highway department to collect the
seat tax of 81 per seat on all school
motor buses. The matter was re-
ferred to the assistant county attor-
ney, who IN turn referred it TO the
attorney general, pointing out that
imposition Of the tax would require
the payment Of $50 TO $500 per year
on each bus operated by the school
districts.
The assistant county attorney held
that while the statute did not spe-
Critically exempt school buses from
the seat tax, il was not the intent
of the legislature TO impose this
burden upon the school districts.
which would be obliged to pay the
tax on buses owned by the district or
under contract.
The attorney generals department
held to the same view as the assist
ant county attorney, submitting the
following opinion:
Il. Common or independent school
districts owning and operating motor
buses for the transportation of stu
dents to and from school are not
liable for the Four (S4.00) Dollar
seat tax imposed by Article $50 OF
the Penal Code, upon the owners of
passenger motor vehicles operating
for hire.
@. Under certain stated facts, the
owner Of a motor vehicle operating
under contract with a common indie
pendent school district for transport
ing students to and from school and
which vehicle is not otherwise oper-
ated in the transportation of passen-
gers for hire. is not liable for the
Four (S4.00) Dollar seat tax imposed
by Article $50 Of the Penal code upon
the owners of passenger motor We
hicles operating for hire.
"3. This opinion is limited TO the
fact situation stated and does not
purport to relieve from liability for
the Four (s4.O0) Dollar seat tax i'm
posed by the terms Of Article $50
those persons engaged in the trans
p~ortation Of students and others as
a business and for profit"

SMOKING OUT
BOIL WEEVIL
Blower Fan Used to
Scatter Fumes on
New Device

TOLEDO, O., Oct. 25.-Control Of
poisonous smoke by small blower
fans IS the latest development Of
science to combat the boil weevil,
which annually destroys millions of
dollars worth Of cotton plants in the
south.
A powder mixture is dropped into
the hopper of a smoke spraying ma
chine, from where it is fed into
A fire box where it ignites and pro-
duces a heavy thick smoke. The
smoke is then directed through two
pipes projecting down alongside the
wheels Of the machine which re-
sembles a large cart and a blast OF
air scatters the fumes on the plants.
The blowers used are chain driven
ard similar 10 blowers used for dry
ing crops and for ventilation.
When in operation a heavy canva
covering is built around the pipes
to keep the fumes from sweeping up
and overcoming horse and driver
The canvas also prevents the weevlls
Yrom flying out Of danger. The cost
~ nrotecting cotton in this manner
Il low as IL averages only 20 cents
an acre for materials. Some Of the
large plantation owners expect TO
adapt the smoke machine TO airplane
use so that large areas may be
prayed in a short time.
Engineers back Of the project de-
.I.re that this is simply another APP
nIication of mechanical science TO
he modern farm which has lessened
the burden or grinding toll by turn
ing 10 labor saving devices. Many
farmers now use blower and ventilat-
inc fans for changing the air IN
..shIas. barns, and poultry houses.
Thsv have also learned to control
air conditions for the protection OF
antatoes. seed corn, c~ottonseed and
ptber products by mechanically aer-
nAinr them.

TO SHOW POSITION

PARIS. Oct. 25.-CPt-The capital
of France is not where il was thought
to be. In calculating its position,
navigators and astronomers alike
have hitherto made an error Of about
20 feet.
The French Bureau OF Longitudes
has now set this right, moving the
location two hundredths of a second
farther east than had been sup
posed.
For scientists the Importance of
the demonstration lies in the accu-
racy now a~ttainable in geographical

culations was discovered.
