Dividend Yields.

NEW YORK January 9 (SpeciaD -,
The highest dividend yields on any
group Of stocks is that OF the rails,
which return an average above 10 per
cent. This is nearly equaled by the
motors, on which the yield is also above
10 per cent. Next in line are the steel
stocks, Of which only a few are now
on dividend basis and after them
the oils. chemicals and the food shares
Another high yielding group in the
outside list is the bank stocks and
the shares of the fire insurance and
casualty companies. 1t is anticipated
that in these last two groups there will
be a considerable number of dividend
reductions in the first half Of this year.

OLCOTT PASSES

pASSING Of Chauncey Olcott, recount
ed in today's dispatches, will bring uni
Versal regret to American theatre-goers.
particularly those of a generation ago.
Even those who had not the remotest
connection with the land of which Ocott
sang, could be thrilled by the sweetness
of his voice and the charm of the words
he wrote and sang.
Born in the United States, and known
best by name which had no tinge of
the "Ould Sod in it, he sang of Ireland
and its people with a thorough under
standing of the whimsical characteristics
of the Irish. His songs form an import
ant part of the "song-fest' SO popular
with gatherings of Americans, My Wild
Irish Rose being second in popularity
only to the immortal Sweet Adeline".
Fate cheated him when his death did
not occur a day sooner. There is no
doubt that he would have been glad to
answer its call on the day dedicated to
the patron saint of the nation of which
he sang.

SEARCH FAILS
TO REVEAL ANY
AIRPLANE CRASH

Hasty mobilization of searching
crews on the ground and in the
air went for nothing yesterday aft
ernoon when a close scrutiny of
the territory about Sugar Loaf
mountain near Coyote Wells dis
closed no trace of airplane wreck
age, or of a disabled plane which
might have made a forced landing.
A section foreman for the San
Diego and Arizona railroad had re-
ported seeing a plane nose towards
Sugar Loaf mountain, and eX-
pressed the fear it had crashed.
The report spread speedily. A
Century-Pacific pilot, bound for
San Diego, was instructed to look
for the wreckage. A department
of commerce inspector and an army
pilot left the county airport near
Imperial to search for the sup
posed wreckage.
Navy planes were sent from San
Diego, but had not reached the
scene last night, and it is thought
they were called back. A Los An
geles newspaper made preparations
20 send a special plane to aid in
the search, and to obtain photo
graphs should the wreckage be
found.
Undersheriff Rodney Clarke and
Lloyd Castanien, deputy, went from
the sheriff's office here to go over
the ground on foot.
The search was called off last
night after every foot of ground
had been scanned from the air and
on foot, and the searchers arrived
at the conclusion the section fore
man saw an army plane which
flew low as it crossed Sugar Loaf.
The foreman who reported seeing
the plane could not be located.

DANGEROUS BUSINESS

THE integrity of our courts is one of the
i fundamentals of American iurispru-
dence, and unless the citizenry can have
full confidence in this branch Of the
government, they are driven to acts ont
side the law, such as lynching and the
operation of vigilantes
None should be more jealous Of this
integrity than those who are chosen by
the people to preside over the courts.
Not only on the bench but off i. their
course of action should be such as to
cast no shadow upon their uprightness.
The cltlzenry expect the most right
eouS conduct on the part OF their Judges
and rightly so. 1t is for this reason that
the present scandal in Los Angeles in
volving three judges, Is serious mat
ter.
Possibly the word scandal is a little
too strong, but anything even suggesting
the slightest taint of character can only
be considered in the light of scandal.
Two of the judges received suits of
clothes from the receiver Of a corpora
alton whose affairs are involved in the
Los Angeles courts. One judge asserts
his suit was an outright gift, with no
strings attached to it, another says he
received his as payment Of a bet on a
baseball game. The third Judge received
cash loan" which he declares was legi-
innate.
1t is possible that all three judges are
innocent of any wrong doing, yet citizens
are justified in questioning the sinceri-
ty and honesty of their intentions. Hav-
ing any outside dealings with matters
that might possibly come before them in
an official capacity, is dangerous, to say
the least.
Temporarily, the judges have been
cleared, as previous suspension against
them has been lifted. The investigation
is not complete however.
We hope they will be vindicated, for
anything that assails the character of
the courts is bound to weaken the faith
of the citizens in them.
1t might be remarked incidentally, that
two ministers Of Los Angeles are also
mentioned as having received loans or
gifts" from the receiver. However, as
they are the same heavenly twins who
cannot seem to keep out of mischief,
none should be unduly surprised.
-O-
AS an immitator of Mussolini, Hitler
appears to be about as successful as most
immitators
Imperial Valley should change the line

Heads OF Families
In Need Of Work

Several heads of families in Ell
Centro are in need of part-time
work, according to officials of the
United States employment service
and members of the central relief
committee.
Part-time work provided by
residents of valley communities
has been the means of providing
food and clothing for many needy
families this winter, but several
families still are in need of this
type Of work.
In discussing part-timc work,
one of the employment service
officials said residents had re-
sponded exceptionally well. In
the month of January 157 local
male residents were provided with
part-time work and during the
same period 25 women were pro-
vided with employment. In Feb
ruary 124 men and 20 women were
given work.

WASHINGTON, March l8. UP
Fear OF a wage cut is abroad among
the thousands of men and women
who work for Jne government.
There are several movements IN
congress to whittle at the salary
checks even Of those making only
sl2oO or $500 year. So far these
efforts have met with little success.
Now the subject is being revived
as a possible means Of avoiding
some of the more objectionable
sales taxes.
A flat 10 per cent cut on the total
federal pay roll would save about
s132.00O0 900 year. If only those
earning $4,000 or more were affect
ed, the saving would be about S.
100000. That gives an idea Of the

rabbit.
"I am making little house,
was the answer.
who is going to live in the lit
tie house?" asked Baby Bunty.
"Ah,' answered Uncle Wiggily,
with a smile that is a secret"
Baby Bunty twinkled her pink
nose. She did not ask again who
was going to live in the little house
for she knew one must not ask
about secrets. But when she saw
Uncle Wiggily cutting the small,
round door in the little wooden
house, she said:
THAT isn't big enough for YOU
to get in"
"Oh, I'm not going to live in
this house; no, indeed!" chuckled
Mr.. Longears. "As 1 said, it's
secret, but if you watch, Bunty,
you may see who lives in it," So
Bunty watched.
After making the round door,
Uncle Wiggily put on top of the
little house a roof made of tree
bark. That will keep out the
rain,' said the rabbit. Next he
fastened the house on a tree
branch outside his hollow stump
bungalow. Nov the house is
finished" he said. Soon it will
be lived in"
by whom?' asked Bunty.
"Ah,' said Uncle Wiggily, "that'a
secret. You must watch, Bunty."
Every day after that, for nearly
week, Bunty would stand be-
meath the little house On the tree
branch and look up at it. But she
could see no one living in it and
she began to think that perhaps
Uncle Wiggily was playing a joke
on her.
But a few days after that, one
morning when the sun was shining
brightly Baby Bunty saw some
pieces of hay, some shreds of dried
grass and some fuzzy hair sticking
out of the door of the little house.
"Oh, Unkie Wig!' cried Bunty,
all excited as she hoped into the
bungalow. Come out, quick!
think a horse is living in your
little house, for I saw some hay
sticking out of the door,"

there. Let's go look, Bunty."

chuckled Mr. Longears. You shall

He. and Baby Bunty stood be-
meath the little house. More hay,
more grass and more curled hair
was sticking out Of the round door.
The house was juggling on the limb
to which it was fastened as if
someone inside the house was
hopping around.
"Oh, 1 can't see who is living
there" said Bunty, rather disap-
| pointed.

justified in his decision to starve him
self as a protest against the heavy un-
employment exiting in this country.
Even granting that his motives are of
the highest, most of US will feel that
his plan is utterly futile It will not
help to obtain work for single man,
nor is it likely to have any effect in
stimulating those who may be in position
to give jobs to do so.
1t is quite likely also, that those whom
the doctor seeks to aid will, in the par
lance of the day, consider him a sap.
The day of the martyr is past. The
modern age of the "go-getter" is inclined
TO scott at such an empty gesture as
DR.. Walter is making. and while there
may be an occasional flicker of SYM
pathy for him, the great majority will
not be interested in his lone defiance OF

The Yanks and Tigers battle to-
night in the second game of the

for the Tigers, means second place
tie with the Athletics and a loss
means dropping into fourth place
with five hundred rating.
Senators and Browns will wind up
