Want TO Vote.
Many or most of Washington's resi-
dents-they can hardly be classed as
"citizens"-want to be allowed to vote
and to be represented in Congress.
They want to see what ballot looks
like. The only franchise they know
anything about Is the kind street car
company gets.
They probably know more about the
ms and outs of Government and the
abilities and .stupidities of public off,
Gals than any other community, but
they are not allowed to put their knowl-
edge to practical uses. And they arc
clamoring to be allowed to get ballot
and let their tx" mark a spot on it.
OF course, this seems silly to us in
San Diego. where all of us adults may
vote, and only IS per cent Of us do.
n
But they have one thing. They have
their own national song. 1t was writ
ten by Frederic William Vile. Here are
two Of its verses:
My District, IT'S Of Thee.
(Tune: American
My District, tits of thee,
Land without liberty,
OF thee sing.
Where Nations laws are made,
Where income tax is paid,
Yet, when all's done and said
Freedom can't ring.
Nation at large, to you
We raise our cry and hue:
Hear our fair plea!
Tax without voice or vote
Sounds discordant note;
See rank injustice smote-
End tyranny!

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN PROFIT TAKING
Merchandising Group Con-
tinueS Weak-0iIS Make
Good Showing.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 22.-Side by
side with the bidding up of speculative
favorites to new. highs in todays stock
market went the uncovering of new
weak spots and heavy realizing by
those who had profits on purchases
earlier in the week, giving the list
much mixed appearance.
The merchandising stocks were freely
offered and a number of them went to
new lows. The oils were aggresS1vely
bought and although proflt-taking
checked their advance they main
tanned a firm front. Elsewhere the
usual week end evening-up process
went on, with the selling little more
effective than the buying.
National Cash Register again was an
outstanding weak issue. 1t had closed
yesterday at 65$s, after decline OF
more than points. 1t opened today
on a large block at 81 and then sold
down almost points more, with no
support of consequence in evidence.
Simmons Co. again was pressed on a
market unwilling to take 1t without
concessions but the loss in this case
was not as large.
Weakness developed IN fresh quar-
ter Wnen WOOlWOTLn Was SuDJCCICd W
attack by operators for the decline and
dipped to approximately its previous low
for the year.
Probably testimony given at Washing
ton before the Senate committee to the
effect that the unemployment situation
was the worst since 1914 and the prom
inence given to these statements in the
press had something to do with the
selling. That 1t was oVerdone there can
be no doubt, just as there could be no
question that it did not represent real
liquidation. Woolworth, for instance,
reported an increase in sales in its last
return, but these stocks are unpopular
now, and when they go of attract nc
speculative buying.
The oils were the bright side of the
picture. Standard Oil of New Jersey,
because of its commanding position in
the industry, was the natural leader and
achieved a new high in the first hour.
Last September the stock sold at SO and
today it was less than ID points under
that level and more than 19 points
above the price at which the famous
Rockefeller buying order was placed
during the panic.

CREDIT CLASH Barred
IN RESERVE REPORT
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 22.-The split
between the directors of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York and the
Federal Reserve Board in Washington
over the question of coping with the
problem of stock market absorption of
credit last year is officially revealed for
the first time in the annual report of
the local Reserve Bank for 1929.
For number of weeks, from Febru-
airy to May" the report says. "the
directors of the Federal Reserve Bank
of New York voted an increase in the
discount rate from per cent to per
cent. This increase was not approved
by the Federal Reserve Board"
Bankers who recalled the prolonged
sessions each Thursday afternoon last
Spring and the trepidation of the stock
market, faced by reiterated warnings
of the Federal Reserve Board against
the expansion of brokers' loans, saw
in the official statement great signif-
canoe. 1t is generally held by bankers
that had the wishes of the local board
been acceded to. the headlong career OF
the stock market might have been
halted in time to avoid the break OF
last october and November.

CASUALTY INSURANCE
BENEFITS MOUNT

The benefits derived through casualty
insurance may be realized from the
statement in an insurance magazine
that during 1929 the American public
received in claims paid by casualty
companies a total of more than $685.
100000. These include health and
accident claims, disability, automobile
insurance, plate glass, surety bonds and
miscellaneous forms of protection other
than life.

Old Wooden Waterpipes

Workmen at Skowhegan, Maine,
excavating for new theater build
ing, came upon wooden water
pipe, sound and firm, estimated TO
be nearly 100 years old. Elderly
New Englanders recall when most
water pipes were logs with a hole
bored through. One end of the log
was pointed, while the other end
was followed out. Water could be
carried long distances through such
pipes with little leakage. for the
moisture kept the wood swollen and
the Joints tight.

AVIATION SUFFERS AGAIN

AS this is written all know of the Maddux plane
disaster is that 16 persons, returning from joyous
holiday at Aqua Caente. met sudden and fearful
death an hour later in a field north Of Oceansde.
Brief dispatches blame heavy fog in that vicinity
for the crash explaining that forced the pilot Of the
l-fated plane to seek emergency landing and in at
tempting to make it. the plane crashed the impact be-
ing immediately followed by explosion which turned
the ship into funeral pyre for those in it.
There will be Investigations made into the disaster,
but is likely that they will accomplish much. The
enemy that aviation has to contend with is fog
Even the experienced pilot is helpless against the
gray menace, and until aviation develops
of overcoming the handicap imposes, there will be
crashes of this sort.
The horror of 16 persons dying in such terrible
manner, without chance for their lives, will cause
many to shake their heads and condemn aviation, but
not such tragedy this halt IT, One reads
of equally tragic happenings railroads and IN auto
mobiles, yet the trains and aAtos contiue to operate
Planes too will continue to operate. Aviation has
terrible handicaps to overcome but the skill and
age of the who have brought flying to its present
development, is certain to win out in the end. They
have intention of resting content with the progress
already made do such accidents this deter them
in the least. Instead they spurs for research
work, concentration inventions, and above ALL
intensity the need for refusing to take chances but to
play safe at all times.

BronsOns' Play
Is Real Comedy

If FL Centre has seen n funnicr
show than "Cradle Snatchers", the
bill the Bronson Players are present
ing for the first half of the current
week, it is past remembrance. There
are three acts in this pleasing play
and every one of them is a riot of
fun.
When hubby's hunting trips be.
come too frequent, WHEY begins to
suspect that the game is not duck
but chicken. In "Cradlc Snatchers"
three philandcring husbands take
the proverbial hunting iamt once
too often. Their wives after putting
their heads together, decide to do n
little hunting themselves. They hire
three college boys for six months and
that's where the Ian begins.
A very well chosen east. spicy dia-
logue, and an abundance of comedy
situations make this bill the utmost
in entertainment
Grade Snatchers" will play to-
night, tomorrow night and Wedncs-
day night. "Bc Yourself" comedy
hit by Neif Shafner, will be the
next attraction.

NATIONAL THRIFT WEEK

We have developed into nation of week observing"
practically every week in the calendar being dedicated
to some purpose other not so mertorous and
others which worthy of support and cooperation
from the public.
In this latter classification may place National
Thrift Week, which begins today, with the idea of
spreading propaganda urging thrift.
The week was not chosen in haphazard manner be-
ing selected because it also the birth OF
BENJAMIN Franklin, one of the greatest opponents of
thrift in the history of this country.
We used to be thrifty nation and perhaps some of
us consider ourselves such yet. Compared to
other nations not. The average American is
very much inclined to be extravaganza He will buy
things he cannot afford does want Just be n
the swim Or as modern saying puts it, ito keep up
with the jones'
This latter phrase taken from comic strip known
throughout the country, means doing things just be-
the neghbors do it, regardless of whether like
it or can afford it.
People who afford cheap automobile, often in
sist having the best the market affords and quite
often will be found living in rented homes homes
of their which do them credit They will pur-
chase many things which only be cassed luXur
les and will be found lacking in others which to be
considered essentials
Among the younger generation thrift is almost
unknown word. Money is made to spend, chiefly upon
good time and no thought is given to the tomorrow
to emergencies which may arise. This condition is
also noted among the younger married people,
though the matrimonial estate is supposed to induce
acknowledgment Of responsibility.
To spend all one makes is extremely foolish. The
answer it is found in the number of and women
dependent upon others for support in their old age.
One have good time and enjoy life, with every bit
of comfort and still put something aside for the rainy
day" That is being thrifty, and National Thrift
Week is good time to ask ourselves if thrifty,
and if the is in the negative to remedy the
dton at once by saving little each week.

Defeat Yuma

school in the Arizona city Satur-
day night. Coach Armstrong; a.
team took a 25-2l decision from the
! una Varsity while the FL Centre
"Cces' nosed out the lighter team,

Both games were nip and ruck af-
fairs throughout and were in doubt
up to the final whistle. These
games. while not registering in the
county league standings, gave the
local boys some necessary expert
cree against high class opposition.
Price and Novak were the leading
scorers for Ell Centre "Cees" while
Johnson starred at guard. These
boys have played sensational bas-
kctball for Coach Ketchen's team
and are responsible for the "Cccs"
high standing in the league.
For the "a" team, Wynnc with
II points and Miller with 9, were
high scorers. Watson and Carr
played air tight ball at guard aud
