Colorado river Indian Reservation
in Northern Yuma county for set
tlernent by ex-service men is sought
in memorial to Congress sub
mitted in the House of Representa-

The document asks Congress to
authorize the United States Bureau
of Indian affairs at Washington to
complete allotments of lands of the
reservation to Indians and then
open the remainder for white set
tiers.
The reservation contains $4,000
acres, but only 5000 acres are un-

clared.

How To Fight The Flu

Plain common sense is the main ingredient of
advice offered by Surgeon General Hugh S. Cum
ming of the u S. Health Service for the treatment
and prevention of Influenza which has assumed the
proportions of mild epidemic in many parts OF the
country.
He recommends plenty of sleep and rest; simple
diet with large amounts of water fruit juices, milk
and hot soups; warm clothing; avoidance of contact
with others who have colds; keeping in the open air
as much as possible, and avoiding the of alcohol
and stimulants of all sorts.
Most of the surgeon generals recommendations
are merely sound rules Of health which might we'll be
observed at any time, particularly in winter. He al
SO advises against the of any so-caled preven-
tves such as sera vaccnes and other advertised nos
trums which seem to have value and may be harm
full in this disease. A doctors and common
sense health rules are the only proper treatment.
Avoidance of alcohol and stimulants of all kinds
should include elimination of the most common of all
tea and Coffee This advise is consistent with the rest
of the national health officers suggestions for build
ing up the vital reserve power of the individual.
Public health services perform one Of their most
valuable functions by pointing out to the public that
there is no royal road to health only the road we
build by schooling ourselves to follow the laws Of ma
ture, which are available to all of us

Another School House Needed

Nogales is in need of new school house.
It is not a new need. Relief from crowded con-
ditons in the schools has been needed for several
years. The present school houses have become made
quate and particularly so the past year
There is some opposition to erection OF new
school house at present because Of the depression
The depression itself offers two reasons for the carry
ing out of the plans for another school house. One IS
the need of relief of unemployment We would all
hesitate to build needless school houses for that alone
or to undertake any other unnecessary public work
involving waste Of the public money: There is too
much Of that being done proposed in the name OF
unemployment relief
But in the present circumstances it will be good
business to proceed to the building of school house
without delay In the first place we must have it. 1t
is essential depression depression In the second
place can build it now at less cost than later
The cost of building materials is from Is per cent
to 20 per cent less than they have been previously
With the end of the depression construction costs will
advance with everything else

able; wages are cut to the bone and
are as low as $2o-$25 per week the
same workers getting $45-$50 per
week two years ago.

helping the bosses to lower the
standard of living of the workers
and do not want to organize the
workers. This is statement OF the

bad payers The recent sell-out OF
the Frame Makers Strike led by the
Furniture Council, abandoning the
original demand OF the workers of a
minimum wage scale and settling for
81 or 50 raises. This clearly shows
what the takers are out for and that
is dues, and are uniting with the
bosses to gain their end,

affiliated to the Trade Union Unity
League, calls upon you Fellow Work
ers, to come to this Mass Meeting and

constitute the prime mover of Cor
ky's art. He is obviously panied and
aroused by the ugly aspects of life
under the czars and his sensitive and
searching story of the Jew-hating
longshoreman has the burning elo-
quence and the contagious passion of
a great social pamphlet.
For the Needle Workers of New
York, too, and for their brother
workers of the other unions and
leagues of the Trade Union Unity
League, the showing of this picture
will be an occasion of sorrow and
anger, and determination to fight
harder than ever in the battles to
come, as the crimes of czarism are
again reflected on the screen.
Among other features at this Nee

A huge turnout of furriers is ex-
pected at the Picnic Festival of the
Needle Workers, this Saturday, Au-
gust %, at Pleasant Bay Park. The
furriers strike in the dogskin shops
has already brought 1900 new work.
erS and 100 more shops under the
control of the Needle Trades Workers
Industrial Union. With the height of
the busy season approaching, the
bosses are being forced to the wall
and the fighting spirit of the fur
riers is growing daily. Wage increases
of SIS to $40 per week have been won
with every new settlement. The
sweatshop in the fur trade with its
endless hours per week of piece work
and its wages of is to $25, is becom-
ing thing of the past. Week work
is back with decent hours and higher
wages and the furriers feel that they
are winning.
