Asserts Taxes
Much Too High

Taxation may be all right, but
the board of supervisors is carry
ing things too far in setting exorb-
itant rates on Imperial county
land
This seems to be the opinion OF
the woman who wrote to the board
of supervisors yesterday asking
that her taxes be reduced.
Fifty-eight cents, she thought, is
too much for taxes on her 10 acres
of undeveloped land.
The woman explained that she
is widow, that she does not want
the land, that it was misrepresent-
ed as being under the Boulder dam
when she bought it, and that the
land is not worth anything now,
anyway. And So cents is too much

new SENSATION
COMES TO FRONT

BY DIXON STEWART

CHICAGO, Jan. Is. U.P)-Charllc
Retzlaff. l94-pound Duluth dyna-
inter" loomed today as a solution
to the problem of boxing promoters
who have been seeking a sensational
young heavyweight.
Appearing in the Semiwindup at
last nights Jimmy Slattery-King
Levinsky bout in Chicago stadium
Retzlaff stole the show" with an
impressive Six-round knockout over
George Neron. Greek heavyweight.
1t was Retzlaff's 27th victory in rs
professional engagements.
Knocking out Neron does not
qualify Retzlaff as a great fighter,
but the workmanlike manner in
which the Duluth youth won con-
vinced the 12,749 spectators who
paid s34 $50 to witness the show that
he has possibilities.
Managers of the former Golden
Gloves amateur champion now be-
lieve their man was graduated from
mediocre competition and announced
today that Retzlaff was open to
meeting Griffiths, Paolino, Won
Porat. Baer and other ranking
heavieS.
Levinsky couldn't fight and Slat-
terry wouldn't. Levinsky apparently
discarded his natural slugging style
when he deposed Manager Al Miller
and attempted to prove the conten-
ton of his new manager, who said
the King was a great boxer. He
attempted to box and his efforts
were ludicrous.
Slattery danced about, taking no
chances with Levinskys lethal wal
lop. and was content to jab his way
to victory. Neither fighter attempt
ed TO punch during the numerous
clinches and the bout was a slow.
tiresome affair. Slattery won by
decided margin but had little reason
to be proud of his performance.

Romance Buds in Hospital
After an Operation.

Atlanta, Ga.-An unusual June-De-
cember romance that lowered in the
stiffness and somberness of hospital
ward eliminated here in wedding bells
for pretty young nurse and wealthy
bachelor.
The principals are Miss Luna Lane
and f. NJ. Barberi, an official of the
Southern railway.
The marriage, performed by the
Georgia Baptist hospital chaplain a
few hours after Miss Lane received
her diploma as graduate nurse, came
as a surprise. The couple kept their
engagement secret until Miss Lane
could get her diploma.
Once Woman-Hater
Barberi was a woman-hater of wide
reputation. Despite his good looks
and wealth, he had escaped designing
mothers with manageable daughters
for so long that his friends had given
up hope that he would ever marry.
In fact, he had told them on innu-
merable occasions that he would never
wed, which statements were received
with considerable dismay in the debu-
tante ranks.
Get Barberi," became a slogan with
the more forward of the debutantes
and their mothers, but never a pro-
posal did any of them get.
Then Barberi was stricken suddenly
with appendicitis. He was rushed to
George Baptist hospital and put under
the knife. One of the nurses helping
the surgeon was Miss Lane.
The pretty young nurse was instant
~ attracted TO the patient. She was
by his side when he came out from I'M
der the anesthetic. She obtained per-
mission to work her shift in the Sec
ton of the hospital in which his room
was located.

POSSIBLE SPREAD
OF YELLOW FEVER
Experts Foresee Danger
From Airplanes.

A "new aviation peril" said to be
sensational in it's possibilities, came
I'D for discussion at the annual con-
ference of the British Medical asso-
citation. Sir Malcolm Watson called
attention to the likelihood, almost
the certainty. Of aircraft carrying
yellow fever from West to East AZ
RIGA" If that happened, he claimed,
there was nothing to prevent it from
spreading to Asia. from completely
paralyzing itself. Other physicians
at the conference undertook to show
how airplanes might be the means of
''propagating plague, cholera. small
pox and typhus." And Sir George
Buchanan stated that, as there was
a possibility of aircraft introducing
new types of influenza and cerebro-
spinal meningitis into England, the
subject was engaging the attention
of both the air ministry and the
ministry of health. For himself he
regarded it as IAN important matter
requiring measures in the yellow
fever zones to prevent the spread of
the disease"
Almost simultaneously with these
deliverances, though without any
sort of connection with them. came
an article In the London Times set
ting forth facts regarding the trans
mission of cholera over the world
after it's appearance al Calcutta in
1917, and asserting that by 1881 it
had become certain that no country
was secure against the inroads Of
the disease. Appearing successfully
at Bombay and Madras, it reached
Ceylon in 1919 and spread thence and
from India over eastern Asia and the
islands of the Indian ocean. By 1923
Syria was reached and Europe threat
ened. 1t disappeared from Turkey,
but began to push north and west
again after ravaging Persia and the
lands south of the Caucasus. In Rus
STA more than 250,OO0 human beings
died as the result, in Cairo and Alex
andria $4,000 were swept away in "a
days. And the alarm in Great Brit
ain increased enormously" in June,
1881, when Londoners received the
news that the cholera had reached
Riga, where 200 or 800 sail of Eng
fish vessels, loaded chiefly with hemp
and flax" were waiting to come to
England. 1t was then, after an or
der had been issued for the quaran-
timing of all ships from the Baltic,
that "the plague established itself
in England for the first time"
Yet all through that period, begin

Low Birth-Rate Causes Alarm in Britain

only about two-thirds of that record
ed in prewar years.
S. P. Vivian, the registrar-general
in his report warns: Though further
slight increments in the total pOpula-
ton may be expected during the next
two decades owing to rapidly expir-
ing but not quite exhausted momen-
tum impaired by the higher birth
rates of the past, there can be no
doubt that, failing 8 considerable rise
above the present birth-rate figure
of which there is no sign at present
the population maximum will then
be reached and will be followed in
it's turn by small but increasing
decline"
Vivian adds that at its present rate
the birth rate is insufficient to retain
a stationary population in the future.
The report points out that in spite
of the fact that marriage rates have
been well maintained, particularly at
the younger ages at which the bulk
of births occur, and of the further
lat lhdC Tie eAcepIIoHdl postWdF
squirt in the birth rate itself had
passed it's maximum at the beginning
of the last period of ten years. the
total births registered between 1921
1881 are more than a million and a
quarter fewer than they were in the
preceding period-a period which
covered the war years, when the birth
rate sank to levels never before re-
corded in this cou ry.
The births were between 100000
and 100000 fewer than those of the
last completely normal ten years,
from 1901 to 1911.

Three Party Divisions
Had Name Republican

The name Republican has been ap-
piled to three parties, fact which
gives rise to confusion. The Repub-
lican party of today originated in
1S54-56, after the dissolution of the
Wing party. The southern Wing
went over to the Democratic party
ON the slavery question and the
northern Wings affiliated with the
Free Soil and Know-Nothing parties.
At meeting held at Ripon, Wis, in
1854, a group Of Wings. Free Sellers
and Democrats threatened to form
a new party If the Kansas-Nebraska
bill passed. The bill passed, and on
July 6, 1854, representatives of the
same groups met at Jackson, Mich,
and formed party to which they
gave the name Republican. In the
election that fall, the new party car
ried Is of the 81 states. The Dem
ocratic party as now known began
with the Anti-Federalists, who op-
posed the federal Constitution be-
cause of the rights surrendered by
the states to the federal govern
ment. In 1892, it took the name Re-
publican party to oppose the FEEDER
alist party. It was later sometimes
known as the Democratic-Republican
party, which name is still the official
designation of the Democratic party.
After it's principles were clearly
formulated in 1913 by Thomas Jeffer-
son, 1t was sometimes called Demo-
cratic, but generally Republican, I'M
til Andrew Jackson's administration,
which began in 1929. He was the
first President to be officially listed
under the name Democrat.
