Nancy's gift at the shower was a can
opener that really works-the kind that
is fastened to the wall and grips the
can as it opens it.
Lois said she wished she had had one
while she opened all the cans of food
used for the refreshments. These were
served buffet style and consisted of tiny
cream puff shells filled with devilled
ham, OF tuna fish salad sandwiches and
chicken la. king. All of the materials
except the shells. the bread and the
celery came from tins or cans.
The dessert was canned fruit in
gelatin with assoi ted cookies taken from
a grocer's box.

Today was Nora's day off and ma
sent me around to the hakar store to
get cream puffs for dizzert, and was
sitting on our front steps thinking about
the 4 cream puf7s on a plate back in
the dining room on the Sidebord,
thinking, G, wish I had one rite now.
it certeny would taist good on empty
stummick, G..
And I thawt, Holey smokes, Suppose
bergler came in the back way and took
the whole plate, better go back and
see If the gate is bolted.
WITCH did, and it was bolted all rite,
and went through the dining room
again and stopped at the 4 cream puffs,
thinking. Good mite, Suppose he climbs
the tents
Meening the bergler, and thawt, I
CESS l better take my own now, any
ways, and then in case he does climb
the tents and steel the rest I'll of had
mine anyways.
And took one out to the front steps
and ate it, being one of the best cream
pulls I ever ate, and thawt, Well G..
there's cream puffs still left, and if
pop and ma ony take one apiece that
will be another one for me, so if that
bergler gets in now I'll still lose a cream
puff. @ wizzickers better hurry up go
back there again and take it while I
still have a chance.
WITCH I quick did, the cream puffs
still being there, proving no bergler
hadent broke in yet. and I took another
one out on the front steps and ate 1t,
tasting almost pritty near better than
the ferst one, and I thawt, Holey

JOBS PATIENCE
SORELY TRIED
IN BEER RAID

Fred Jobs protested vehemently
that the beer and mash located by
Ernest Clay and Lloyd Castanien,
deputy sheriffs, in his house at the
old Ell Centro brick yards last night
was only for his own consumption,
and that he had been making beer
for so years. and did not see any
thing wrong with doing so.
But the officers were incredulous
as they loaded the evidence into
their car, for the number of call
ers during their brief stay at Jobs
shack seemed to indicate to them
he was not altogether truthful. and
it was pointed out Jobs could not
possibly have been making beer for
so years, since he is only As years
old.
Judge I. Mayfield apparently
joined the officers in their disbe-
lief this morning, for he sentenced
Jobs to pay q fine Of $500 or serve
$50 days III the county Jail, COM
mitting the defendant to Jail when
he could not pay the fine.
It might have been the story Off
GERS told OF youths of high school
age driving up TO Jobs shack dur
ing the course Of the raid which
drew the heavy sentence.
Jobs was not present when Cas-
tanien and Clay arrived with
search warrant at 7:45 last night.
In his house were found SIX cases
OF beer and q 25 gallon barrel of
mash, almost ready to be drawn off.
The officers settled down to await
his return.
A wait Of almost an hour was
justified when he drove up and
stepped cheerfully TO his door, only
to be placed unoeF arrest. During
that wait, however, several per-
sons drove up to the shack, stopped
for a brief word. and finding the
place had been raided, drove away.
Among these were several boys and
girls of high school age.

UNCLE SAM BEARS HEAVY LOAD
IN COST OF DEPORTING ALIENS

How Uncle Sam pays through the
nose for transportation of illegal
aliens back to their own country
was demonstrated tocay by figures
compiled by Edward R. Nett, jailer
at the county jail, during a CONVEX
sation relating to the % Chinese
now held in Imperial county for
trial by the San Diego federal
court.
The average cost of transporta-
ton for one deported Chinese from
San Francisco, where he is put
aboard ship, to his native port, is
Sl64.60, Nett said. Using this fig
ure, it may be seen the United
States government must pay S.
1880 to send the % Chinese now
in jail here back to China.
This figure represents transport
alton aboard ship alone, and does
not include the cost of feeding the
Orientals while they are held in
this county. the cost of sending
them to San Diego by stage, the
cost of their upkeep during a jail
sentence, nor the cost Of sending
them from Jail to San Francisco.
Carrying the matter farther the
jailer pointed out that a cargo of
78 Chinese, most of whom had been
arrested in this county, left San
Francisco Tuesday, bound for China.
For sending these Chinese to their
native land the United States will
pay a total of S14,41880.
AS interest swung from the cost
Of transportation to the more per-
sonal matters of the Chinese now
in custody here, Nett showed by his
books a queer medley of names
seemingy divided into clans of some
sort not readily apparent to the oc-
cidental mind.

Indo-Europeans of 1900 B. c.,

Oriental society, meeting at the ORR

For toothbrush, the Indo-E European

a species of fig tree, being recommend

that the bark remain on the twig.
Another method was to chew twigs or
sticks of certain varieties of trees.

once, and then must be disposed of
by leaving it in clean place.
There was a long list of days when

in such cases the cleansing Of the
mouth by rinsing with twelve mouth
fuls of water was substituted, The
time of the rite was also prescribed,
the teeth being cleaned just before
the bath.
The size of the stick was rigldly
specified, one authority giving the
proper length as twelve angulas long,
an angula being slightly less than
an inch. Other authorities, however,
specified various lengths for the va
rious castles, the brahmanas using the
longest, of ten angulas.
Various prayers were addressed to
the cleaning stick both before and
after its use, and Professor Bobrins-
koy translated one for the assembled
Orientialists, as being: "Oh, Lord of

ESKIMOS ADOPTING
WAYS OF WHITE MAN

Nearly all Eskimos live on or near
the coast because they get most of
their food from the sea. They raise
no vegetables, supplementing their
meat diet in summer with wild ber-
ries and roots. In summer they hunt
land animals and birds, as rule, and
In the winter they live on sea mann
mails and fish.
Where least affected by the white
mans civilization-along the Arctic
coast Of Canada and in the islands
north Of Hudson bay-the Eskimo is
perhaps the healthiest and happiest
person on earth. The village is the
largest social unit. There are no
chiefs or rulers. Leading men have
influence but no authority. Large an
imals caught are shared with others,
and personal property is secure, for
one tribe never makes war against
another. Along many of the inlets of
the Northwest territories in Canada
the Eskimo still hunts with bows and
arrows. and harpoons, in little skin
boats, or kayaks.
"While snow houses, or igloos, are
always associated with Eskimos, about
half the Eskimo world does not know
them at all. Igloos are almost never
used in Labrador or in Alaska. Where
the white mans frame house is not
obtainable the native Eskimo lives in
a dugout covered with sod, the roof be-
ing supported by poles or animal
bones. In the summer the skin tent.
or tupic, is used, particularly while on
hunting forays.
'The igloo, perhaps the most I'M
usual Of all dwellings, is made of
blocks Of snow, with clear piece of
ice for window. Beds and benches
are of ice, with warm furs on top. A
shallow pan made of stone or iron,
shaped somewhat like a dustpan, is
used for lamp or stove. Along the
fiat side is dry moss for wick. In
side the pan is seal oil. The cooking
kettle is suspended above the pan.
Iron kettles and pans are Of recent
use, and are acquired from the white
man, because the Eskimo has no iron,
and very little wood.
'In Greenland and Labrador Eski-
