French Labor Insurance
 System in Effect July l


 PARIS, June 6.-Frencn workers earning low pay Will be protected from sickness, old age and death after July l, when the National Social Insurance law becomes ef- fective.
 Insurance is obligatory on all wage earners, who earn less than 1,5OO francs a year. In the case of cities of 100000 inhabitants or over the income limit is 1900 francs. The assessment is approximately 8 per cent for industrial workers and 2 per cent for farm workers, half to be paid by the employer and half by the worker.

a three-year -old chiefly because a complete response to the riding skill of Earl Sande.
 This is not unprecedented on the turf by any means. Trainers of ten find their charges doing better for one rider and another. Horses, they say, are human in their likes, dislikes and fancies. They sulk for one boy where they will ride he'll bent for another And so it seems that Gallant Fox has found the gallant Sande to his liking.
 Unbeatable so far, the combina- tion has a good running start to- ward equalling the record of Sir Barton. which won the Preakness, Derby, WiShers and Belmont Stakes in 1919. Man O War, in 1920, swept through all these classics but the Derby, for which the super-horsc was not entered.
 The day before the Derby at Louisville, I talked with Mickey Walker about his great slugging match with the late Harry Greb at the Polo Grounds in 1925, when for Is rounds these two belted each other all over the place.
 "Ihat was as hard fight as I ever had; at various times we were both out On our feet said Walker.

SHEPHERDS CROOKS
 STILL MADE BY HAND

PYECOMB, Eng, June 6. Despite this day of mass production a one-man in dustry still flourishes in Eng land.
 It is the handmade shep- herds crook industry, run by Charlie Mitchell, who sup plies crooks to shepherds in Australia, South Africa, Can ada, Western United States and other wool growing sec tions. Mitchell is 85 years old and has been forging crooks in his dark smoky little shop for 54 years.
 Collectors are his best GUS toners now, for machinery has made itself felt, even in making shepherds crooks.

Egatook, aged Eskimo regarded as

From his sick bed on n special

here, Egatook's emaeiated body
burned with fever as trainmen gave
him the first adequate medican at

both arms and leg frozen in q

DISPUTE
Battle Over ALLEGATION of
River Water Renewed
At Los Angeles
R O Sc PESS1MISTIC
District Leader Says He
Sees Little Hope of Any
Agreement

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 81. UP)-
AS representative of agricultural
interests Of Southern California and
the Metropolitan Water District met
here again today it was emphasized
that their problem was one of keep
ing within the state Of California's
allotment from proposed Boulder
dam
1t was pointed out at the resump.
tion of efforts to settle the Califor-
MIA disputes that the states allot.
ment is only 100000 acre feet
which is sufficient to "get by" on
the basis of the present demand of
urban and farm groups.
The Metropolitan Water District
has offered to take $4,000 acre feet
in place of the 100000 originally
asked, but the highest figure yet
agreed to by Imperial Valley inter.
ests is $4,000 for the water district
and the rest of the state share to
agriculture.
Although it was agreed by many
that the prospect for a California
agreement was brighter than ever
before, Mark Rose, director of the
, Imperial Irrigation District, express
| ed the belief that no accord would
| be reached at the conference.
! at is q problem of how we can
! finance the building of an All-Am-
eriean canal if we give away more
than the $4,000 acre feet of water
which we have offered to the
| cities" Rose said.
Professor Franklin Thomas OF
| Pasadena and Harry l.. Haffner of
San Marion, directors Of the Met
ropolitan Water District, declared
progress was being made.
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 21. W.P) -
Substitution Of a formula for fig
ares was expected to bring Cali
| fornia's Boulder dam water dispute
little nearer settlement when the
| Metropolitan district and Imperial
Valley representatives resumed their
ALLEGATION meetings here today.
When the offer of the Metropoli-
tan water district to reduce its de-
mand from 100000 to $4,000 acre
rect failed to bring agreement, Pro-
fessor Franklin Thomas, of Pasa-
dena, suggested "formula" discus
sion instead of trying to reach a
settlement on the basis of figures
1t was understood that the formula
plan proposes to lump all the Colo
rado river water designated for Cal
ifOrnia tOppthpr and 6ivido IL
among the groups, leaving the ques-
tion of what kind of water and the
proportions each is to have until
later.
Heretofore the factions have at
tempted to agree on classifications
IN which the state was allotted H.
100000 acrefeet of "a" water, then
100000 acre-feet of "B" water, and
finally one-half of the surplus water.

RUSSIAN CHURCH
MATTERS APPEAR
BADLY CONFUSED
Half of Nation Prays for
Soviet and Half Against
1t
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

MSOOW, Feb. 2l.-W.H)-Plan,
for a week Of prayer in all churche,
of the Soviet Union, asking God t.
protect the Soviet regime against
! foreign enemies, We're discussed to
dav in several influential ecclcsias-
tical circles.
The week of March 10 was sug
gested as suitable time, because il
comedies with the period of prayer
asked by the Pope, the Church Of
England and ot0er religious bodies
abroad. Meantime, the Society of
the Goddess and other anti-religious
bodies were understood to be pre-.
pairing demonstrations against for
eign religious interference during
the week Of March l6.
If the plans for a Russian week
of prayer go through, one Of the
most curious spectacles in religious
history would be provided, with
millions of Christians all over the
world simultaneously imploring
heaven for or against the Soviet
government.
however, the Greek Orthodox
church, which before the Bolshevik
revolution was highly centralized
and disciplined institution, is at
present loosely organized and not
always obedient to central author
ity. The statements of the Metro
politan Sergius. acting patriarch of
the church, and the holy synod in
Moscow, upholding the Soviet, as
tonished many Of the lower clergy,
who are openly or secretly antag
onistic to the regime. The press
brought reports today of priests in
various villages publicly praying
for failure Of the Soviet collecti.
vization policies.
The action of the church leaders
in Moscow appeared likely further
to dislocate or weaken the Orthodox
church. On the other hand, Sergius'
profession Of loyalty might hasten
the convocation of national church
congress, which was promised to
him several years ago but was not
called.
