Jue@laYia Quiet After Death ol
 CrOat Leader

Vienna, Aug. 10 R-The widely held apprehension that the death Of Stefan Raditch. Croatian peasant leader. would precipitate immediate troubles in Jusoslavia thus far has signally failed of realizat ton.
 Peace Prevails
 Peace and order has prevailed generally in the triple kingdom and the expectation now is that this condition will continue, at least un- til after the funeral services on Sunday at Zagreb. ancient capital of Croatia.
 There were reports that the Bell grade government had been inform d by the peasant democratic coali- ton that participation in the serv- ices of government representatives,. or of those of political parties sup. porting the Belgrade parliament, was unwelcome.
 State Funeral
 The government decided that Raditch should have a state funeral at the governments expense but tho peasant party made provisions for the ceremonies out of their own treasury and declined the govern- ment's offer.
 Chiefs of all political organiza- tions have called on their followers to maintain calm, and are exertinx their combined influence against outbreaks.

Want Own Parliament

London, Aug. 10 Pl-The Daily Express today printed a dispatch from Zagreb, Jugosiavia. quoting Dr. Ante Trumbich, former foreign minister and adherent to the Croa- tian peasant party, as saying tho Croats will insist on having their own parliament. separate from that at Belgrade.
 Discussing the situation in con- nection with the death of Stefan Raditch. Dr. Trumbich was quoted as declaring:
 This is the end. It is quite im- possible to associate further with the Serbs in the intimacy of the past. We don't dream of breaking up the kingdom. but We are going to secure the freedom of Crotia from Belgrade interference and corruption
 Although we joined the Serbs of our own free will. they treat us as "a conquered province, extracting such heavy and unequal taxation as amounts to a war indemnity. This now must end. We insist on our OWE parliament"

FOOLS PARADISE,

l
 By E. S. Yelling
 Sarah and l had been married for nearly ten years. and we found much happiness ill each other. Always we had escaped the gossipy tongues that hunt for scandal, that ever thirst for dainty morsels of private affairs. Sarah and I were considered above suspicion. Our love for each other grew as the years went by.
 She would meet me in the rustic garden as the golden moon peeped through the sycamore. We would play that We were lovers. l would WOO her, I would clasp her to my chest. and kiss her cupid lips. Hap py days, We were living in Eden, little dreaming that life is often a fools paradise.
 One night as the gllmmering moon sent its silvery sheen over our Eden. Sarah and I, walking down lovers lane. arm in arm. met the nemesis to true love. Our Eden crumbled fell, and was no more.
 It was Sarahs husband. and with him was my wife,

CITY BONDING LIMIT AND THE
 HIGH SCHOOL

accom- odations. either by the con- struction of an addition to the pres ent building or the erection of a new plant has been reopened, as We thought It would. by the discovery that the city has not yet reached it's bonding limit and that an ap- preciable sum will be left as a mar gin of safety after about s55O,00o is spent for the school work.
 The city is allowed to sell bonds up to an amount totalling per cent Of it's grand list. In other words it can borrow per cent of its total worth, that worth being the sum of all taxable and non taxa ble proper 'y within the corporate limits. Our total worth is about s13o. GOO ,Hoo and We can legally sell bonds to the ally giving mortgages on our city i valuation 10 the bondholders.
 The present city indebtedness is s5.o77,0oo. in round numbers. leav- ing nearly sl.5oo 900 leeway in ap- preaching our extreme borrowing capacity. The bond issue for high school addition can come from this without seriously impairing our credit situation and also give us nearly a million dollar capacity for other works that are contemplated, Should the new grand list, six months hence, show a lower valua- tinn our property our borrowing capacity will be spondingly lowered but it is doubtful If there will be sufficient depreciation to wipe out the margin of safety which we have. Should we issue bonds for the school to the tune of half million our indebtedness would reach approximately five and half million Our grand list would have to come down to S11O. .000, ,00O tc make 1t illegal to borrow any more and. even then. though the borrow ing limit had been reached we
 would not have exceeded our lega
 capacity. II would take a still fur
 ther depreciation in the grand lis
 to force this condition It does no
 seem as though the city will hav'
 to face book keeping loss of som IS per cent on its assessed valuation even though there is depreciation
 in some buildings and reduced stocl
 items in business establishments.
 This is in no sense an areumen

 when the times comes
 However. one impeachment 1 , cleared from the path, it has beel

Hard Starting Engine
Trouble Laid to Plugs

slow starting engine. the bane Of
motorists, is frequently corrected by
attention to the spark plugs, accord
ing to David Gregg, research engineer,
who recites this interesting experience.
IAN automotive engineer visiting a
laboratory complained that his car
was hard to start in spite of recent
overhaul and adjustment. His spark
plugs had only been in use for $4,000
miles and he said there was nothing
wrong with them.
using some laboratory equipment,
the sparkling voltage of the plugs was
measured and found to be 9.700 VOLTS,
almost the limit of his spark coil. A
new set of plugs was installed and
the voltage required to fire them was
only 1900. The engine started with
snap and idled smoothly.
''There is nothing mysterious about
this action" Gregg explains. Each
one of the old plugs had produced
more than 25,OO0.OOO sparks and the
electrical characteristics had slowly
changed with increasing resistance
and electrical leakage. This is why
all spark plugs should be looked after
at least once year to get the best
results

California Parks Set
New Mark for Tourists

All records for number of visitors
in California's four national parks
were broken in 1927 and the figures
indicate that new records were estab-
lished for all states.
Compilations just made from gov
eminent reports by the Automobile
Club of Southern California touring
bureau show that the four California
national parks registered total gain
of So per cent last year. In 1926 there
were 432,949 persons visited these
parks, and in 1927 the total was $780,
1879, a gain of 226.25O.
The tremendous percentage OF in
crease for California was brought
about largely by Yosemite, which
topped all others in popularity. The
attendance there leaped from 274.209
in 1926 to 100000 in 1927. gain of
216,221. This remarkable increase is
credited largely to the new all-year
road which has served to stimulate
travel into the park every month of
the year.
California's four parks registered a
total of more than % per cent of all
visitors in all parks during the year.
The 10 national Fairgrounds showed
?,797,S4O visitors, a considerable in
crease over the previous year.
