Talking About the Top Lever Democrats Not Likely to Get Confused at
 Polls

Quite a few citizens feel that the democrats will lose many votes on election day on account of not be- ing familiar with the top lever. There is no reasoin why this should be. so. The change has been referred to so frequently the past week or so it does not seem that there can be any misunder- standing as what lever democrats will pull.
 All it shows is that the demo- crats are coming into their own all over the state. The top lever goes to the successful party in the state election and inasmuch as Cover nor Cross came in ahead at the last state contest the democrats have a right to use it this trip, and it is believed they will hold it for many years. Anyway, peo- pie should bear in mind that to support Mayor Hayes and his as- sociates this year they should pull the top lever and leave the bottom to their neighbors.

WATER COMMISSION
CALLS ON HOOVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 16. U.p)-
Federal aid to carry out Califor-
MAS plan Of water control was
urged upon President Hoover at
the White House today by the Cal
ifornia Water commission.
Commissioners, headed by Colonel
Walter E. Garrison, visited the
President. Garrison said his state
needed federal underwriting of
bonds in order to carry out the
$l60, 100000 project.
Garrison said the commission
would call upon other agencies in
Washington involved in water con-
troll problems and seek to have con-
gress pass an act before adjourn
ment authorizing an investigation
of the California project by the
house and senate irrigation and
reclamation committees.
The Hoover Young commission
already has investigated the plan.
NO further investigation now is
necessary except by congress, Gar
rison added.
Mr. Hoover took the matter un-
uer adVisement.

MOST FOODS TASTE
BETTER IF COOKED
IN SMALL AMOUNTS
Same is True of Hills Bros.
Coffee, Which is Never
Roasted in Bulk

When food is cooked in small
quantities, the mixing, the appli-
cation of heat, can be controlled
with much more exactness. An
omelet, for example, made of three
eggs will turn out more tender and
fluffy than one made of many eggs.
A similar situation occurs in
roasting coffee. When roasted in
bulk it is impossible to control the
heat exactly. Some of the batch,
therefore, is overdone and some
underdone. As a result there is a
variation in flavor.
In the invention of Controlled
Roasting, Hills Bros. found the way
to insure an even roast in their fine
blend Of coffee. Only few pounds
at a time are roasted by this pat
ented, continuous process. When
the roasting is finished a uniformly
delicious flavor has been developed
such as no other coffee has.
When you buy Hills Bros. Coffee
it is always fresh because it is
packed in vacuum. By this process,
air, which destroys the flavor of
coffee, is taken from the can and
kept cut. Ordinary cans, even if
air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh.
Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros.
Coffee. Ask for it by name and
look for the Arab on the can.

No Blame Attached
ITO this day I do not know
whether the child was badly hurt
or only knocked over. Nor do I
know whether the cars following
stopped But this I recognized at
the time - that every precaution
had been used for the safety of the
onlookers and that Mussolini was
no more to blame for that accident
than would Governor Al Smith
have been had a similar accident
occurred in New York as he was
speeding along with a police es-
cort. Furthermore, / realized that
to stop would have served no pur-
pose Driving on was not a coward
ly endeaVor to avoid detection and
had Mussolini stopped at a time of
possible danger to himself, it might
have precipitated a riot and even
great tragedy.
Thus 1t will be seen that my
version of the story in no way re-
flected upon Italy's great leader
and l have told the story many
times merely as an interesting ep-
ISOLDE and in order TO register Mus
solini's pertinent epigram about al
ways looking ahead.
Upon our return to the palace
Mussolini apparently was so pleased
with my visit that he took off his
cuff links and smilingly gave them
to me as a souvenir, also providing
me with all sorts of police permits
~ anticipation of a return visit.
My subsequent printed interview
showed what 1 thought of Mussolini
and it is needless to say I would not
have registered such enthusiasm
had I considered him an unconsci-
enable monster
That, therefore, is my story and
hope my last public statement.
II sincerely regret that General
Butler stole my story and in the
telling gave it the hit-run interpre-
tation, for it has caused me no end
of ignominy and distress. I have
no further quarrel with General
Butler l sincerely hope that this
final statement from me will end
the whole unfortunate mess"
