Tomatoes of West
Coast Moving Out
In Boat Shipments

LOS ANGELES, April 4.-The
present revolution in Mexico has
caused the Mexican government to
see fit to place railroad embargoes
on all shipments Of tomatoes as
well as for other commodities. As
a result, no shipments Of tomatoes
are being made by rail and prices
have risen rapidly, some stock SELL
ing as high as 81 a lug box.
All tomatoes at this season of
the year are grown either on the
West Coast of Mexico or in Baja
California. Those from the West
Coast of Mexico arrive by rail,
while those from Baja California,
where there are no railroad facili-
ties, are shipped by boat to Los An
geles harbOr.
The only point Of supply left IS
Baja, Cal, and several boats with
large cargoeS Of tomatoes have re-
Gently arrived from there. These
boats are inspected under the di-
rection Of Paul K. Wilson, deputy

HOOVER TURNS
TO HARD WORK
President Arises Early And
Spends Many Hours At
Desk Each Day
By RICHARD L. TURNER
Associated Press Staff Writer.

WASHINGTON, April 4.|(H1-
Attaches at the White House have
come to the conclusion that hard
work is to be an outstanding char
acteristic of the Hoover admins
tratiQn.
1t was just a month ago today Mr..
Hoover took the oath of office. Al
most Immediately he. embarked
upon a strenuous and eXacting pro-
gram. Social invitations customar-
lily accepted by his predecessors
were declined so that his evenings
might be free.
From the presidents desk have
come in rapid succession announce
ments of significant new public pol
icies and appointments to offices
of high responsibility. The preSi-
dent has written the message to be
sent to congress which he sum-
moned by proclamation, and in adj
dition he has attacked many other
problems Of state.
Arises at ] a. m.
Customarily, Mr.. Hoover arises at
7 o'clock and, mindful Of the edict
Of his personal physician, Lieuten-
ant Commander Joel T. Boone, that
he must have exercise, he turns
first Of all to that. Several times
a week he proceeds with a group of
friends to q secluded spot on the
White House lawn and they toss a
medicine ball for a half hour. At
eight o'clock, he is at breakfast, and
at nine, he is at his desk. For an
hour he devotes himself to his mail.
1t is usually after n o'clock be-
fore the chief executive finds him
self free to return to the White
House proper for lunch. Hardly an
hour later he is back again at his
desk.
Likes His Radio
Only infrequently does he leave
before six o'clock. More often it is
siX-thirty or seven.
The interim before dinner Mr..
Hoover likes to spend in relaxation.
His favorite way is to lounge in a
comfortable. big chair and listen to
the radio, usually music, but some
times a speech. Dinner is at seven
thirty, and afterward, unless there
are guests, the president frequently
works in the library until about
ten-thirty, when he ordinarily re-
tires to his room and reads until he
is drowsy.

BOOST EXPORT
OF GRAPEFRUIT
Great Britain Used $4,000
Boxes Last Year, Re-
port Shows

WASHINGTON, d. c., April A
(P)-Imports of grapefruit into the
United Kingdom during 1928
amounted to the equivalent Of ISL
900 boxes as compared with $685.
600 boxes in 1927, according to sta
tiStics issued by the British En-
pire Marketing Board and receiv-
ed in the foreign service Of the
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics.
The main sources Of supply for
the grapefruit imported into the
British market are the United
States, the British West Indies and
British South Africa. Most of the
American grapefruit shipped to the
United Kingdom comes from
Florida, but some quantities also
are shipped from California. The
West Indian supplies come almost
entirely from Jamaica. The South
African shipments come mostly
from the Transvaal and Cape
provinces. The other most import
ant sources Of supply are the Isle
of Pines and Porto Rico.
The increase in imports during
1923, according to the British statiS-
tics, was due largely to heavier
shipments from the United States.
Imports registered as having been
consigned from the United States
during 1923 amounted to 592. coo
boxes, or approximately 70 per cent
of the total, as compared with 502,-
600 boxes in 1927.
In this connection it should be
noted that the official figures on
exports from the United States to
the United Kingdom are consider
ably smaller than the British sta
tistics on imports from the United
States.

Just Happens!
Irwin Cobb Admits He
Has No System to De-
wise His Stories.

Bp Times Special
NEW YORK, July 4,-Ambi-
L v tious young people who would
like to write fiction will never
learn anything by studying Irwin
S. Cobb. Cobb admits it himself.
He has no method or system for
devising or telling the tales that
have ranked him among Americas
most popular story-tellerS.
In fact, he rarely knows where
his next story is coming from,
and is quite as surprised as any
one else when it turns out to be
a story at all
The inside story of Cobbs ca
reer, told in the Bookman, dis
closes that even in his current
novel, Red Likker," he didn't
know where he was going when
he started. A magazine editor
prevailed upon him to try novel.
He had never written anything
but short stories and humor. but
he agreed, and started without
plot or plan.
Il started shadow boxing" Cobb
says, meaning that he wrote only
the local color of the Kentucky
setting into the first chapter or
two, while trying to work out q
plot, But, eventually. even after
the first installments had gone
to the printer. the thing turned
out to be full-length novel.
Cobb's writing all has been a.
matter of accident and chance.
1t was quite without design
that he started writing short Sto-
ries in the first place.
He was covering a famous Ken
lucky murder trial for q New York
newspa per in 1912 when the char
acter of the defendant appealed
to him. Cobb was IS then and
had never written fiction. but, as
he speculated about the man on
trial. q story with the defendant
as its hero took form. He wrote
it, THE Escape of Mr.. Trimm, :"
and it has been his favorite story
since.

investment System Fails
to Start Wednesday as
Announced.

Chances of investment betting at
the Indiana Kennel Club. Ltd. dog
racing track on the Allisonville road
appeared to hinge today on the pro-
motors ability to obtain an iniunc-
ton preventing interference by the
police and sheriff'S forces.
Predictions that the investment
system" of betting would start
Wednesday night drew a crowd Of
about one thousand persons. who
learned that Inauguration of the
system had been deferred"
1t was reported at the track that
unavailing efforts had been made
TO obtain an injunction to prevent
Police Chief Claude M. Worlev ano
Sheriff George L. Winkler from in
terfering With the program.
May Seek Court Order
This idea has not been dropped
by the promoters, who were TO meet
today as ways and means COM
mittee to determine what action will
be taken. The group may attempt
to obtain a court order Friday, it
was said.
Both Winkler and Worley showed
up at the track Wednesday night
before the first group of. dogs
kicked up the cinders in their pur-
suit of the elusive electric rabbit.
If the races had started at 8 p.
m. as scheduled. instead of half an
hour late, things might have been
different.
Police, Sheriffs on Guard
Six deputy sheriffs and six uni
formed police accompanied the law
enforcement officials and took posi-
tons at the Investment system
booths"
But the presence of police and
deputy sheriffs did not prevent
many spectators from gathering in
groups and putting wagerS on their
personal selections.
Many fans took time between
races to tear up identified strips of
paper which were drawn from hats
and which brought fair remunera-
ton to the winners.
