Imminence of vote in the House on

the market Under the circumstances
it was significant that the general list

publication of proposed new unifica-

went along more or less. This did have
some justification in the news, but the
effect was heightened by the large
short interest outstanding in Brooklyn

Standard stocks opening slightly
lower, rallied and then reacted. but all
within narrow limits. There was nothing
in the news to stimulate speculation
one way or the other. Reports from
the steel centers were especially con-
fusing telling of further reductions in
rate of operations and then adding that
sentiment was more optimistic and that
an upturn was expected in mid-Sum-

One case in which the dividend status
was the controlling influence was that

Farmers find several advantages in
dong this, including the low rate OF
interest and the requirement that
loans be repaid Systematically over a
period OF years, usually 20 to 80 odd
years. The rate of interest plus the
lnstallment on the principal usually
costs the farmers less than they have
been paying in straight interest on
their Short-term loans plus commits

OSWALT PLEADS
THAT DRIVERS
AVOID HIKERS

Death of Robert C. Turner at
Midway Wells, and other recent
fatal automobile accidents, today
caused Captain A. F. Oswalt of the
California highway patrol to issue
a plea to motorists asking that
they exercise extreme care in driv-
ing at night on Imperial Valley
highways, keeping a watch for hitch
mixers walking on the highway.
Not only at night are these hitch
mixers a menace to the safety of
the highways, Oswalt said, but also
during the day, when they refuse
to step off the pavement to avoid
an approaching automobile.
Although the pedestrians are in
the wrong, none of them has any
money, and thesr arrest would only
result in filling the jails to over
flowing, putting an additional ex-
pense on the county and state, Os-
walt pointed out. Traffic officers
are doing all in their power by
warning the hitch mixers against
walking on the pavement and on
the wrong side of the road.
Therefore Captain Oswalt asked
that motorists cooperate to avoid
further fatal accidents.

Party Leaders
Warn Citizens
On Registration

A general misunderstanding by
prospective voters who already have
registered with one party or an
other today caused warning by
leaders of both parties that the
registration of any voter must be
changed if that voter wishes to
cast his ballot for any candidate
affiliated with party other than
that with which the voter is reg
istered.
Thus Democratic voter, wish
ing to vote for a Republican candi-
date at the coming primaries, must
appear at the county clerks office
on or before July 81 in order to
change his registration. This also
applies to Republicans wishing to
vote for a Democratic candidate.
1t was also pointed out that party
affiliation has no bearing on the
vote for county offices, but that
state and federal offices confine
the voters choice to candidates of
the party with which he is regis
tered

serted recently that many voters

Amusing Film At
Imperial Airdome

"The Red-Heaoeu Woman" fea-
turing Jean Harlow and Chester
Morris, which opened last night at
Fox Imperial airdome, will be
shown for the last times to-
night, with two shows, one at 7
and the other at 8 o'clock.
Based on the story by Katherine
Brush, "The Red-Headed Woman"
is fast moving and full of compli-
eating situations, caused by a
vivicious stenographer, with flam-
ing hair, who loves not wisely and
too we'll to suit the wife of her
employer, resulting in a divorce
and the marriage of the stenog-
rapher to her erstwhile employer
When society refuses to accept
her there is another divorce and
the lady with the intriguing hair
goes on to new conquests while
the man in the case is fortunate
enough to regain his wife.
There is plenty of light humor
in the lines and in the plot, the
more undesirable features of such
incidents being conspicuous by their
absence.
"The Red-Headed Woman" is
good entertainment, as those who
saw last nights show can attest.

Indian Held In
Smuggling Case

His name did not describe the
state of the weather when Cloudy
Morning Blackfoot, 35, Oklahoma
Indian, engaged N what officers
termed the gentle art of smuggling
last week, for he was recognized as
he escaped, and today is in the
county Jail here, awaiting arraign-
ment before the United States COM
missioner on charge of smuggling.
The Indian, with Harry Marsh,
19, Joseph Primo, %, and A. L..
Rains, 10, will face trial by the fed
eral court if the commissioner finds
there is sufficient evidence to war
rant such a trial. The other three
were arrested earlier last week, and
are charged with smuggling 100
bottles Of beer across the interna-
tional line.
Another arrested yesterday on
charge of smuggling was M. Mar
quez, SO, who was taken into custo-
dy at the port of entry when GUS
toms officers found him with two
quarts of whiskey. These officers
described Marquee as a habitual
smuggler.

Safety Razor King
Called By Death

LOS ANGELES, July IL. UP)-
Tentative arrangements were made
today for the funeral of King c..
Gillette, wealthy inventor and man
ufacturer of safety razors, who died
at his Calabasas ranch home Sat
urday night.
Plans were to conduct private
services Wednesday at 10 a. m. at
the Little Church of the Flowers.
The man who gained large for
tune from his idea that razor
blades could be made cheaply and
discarded when dull succumbed to
an intestinal illness from which he
had suffered several years. He was
n years old. Although he had
been i'll recently, his death was un-
expected. His son, King c. Gillette,
and his wife were with him.
During recent years, Gillette de-
voted his time to real estate deal
ings, travel and writing, although
he retained a dictatorship in his
company.

PAIR ARRESTED
ON SUSPICION
HELD AT JAIL

Their story seemed very plausible,
but Eugene Barras, 30, and
Jesus de la Rosa, 81, did not take
advantage of their freedom after
being questioned last night by
w. E. Capps, city officer, and SO
found themselves at the county
Jail today, charged with burglary.
at the police station the burg
larry of Pete POOLS residence at 469
Park avenue, in which suit, two
shirts and an electric fan had been
taken, was reported, but Capps
knew nothing of this as he patrolled
the railroad tracks and the ada
cent neighborhood.
Capps noticed the two men on
the railroad tracks with bundle.
He stopped them, and investigated
to find that the bundle contained
clothing. The men told him they
were moving. Further, they cited
their asserted acquaintance with
other officers of the police force
Satisfied, Capps allowed them to
go their way.
He returned to the police sta
ton, however, and consulted with
the officers whom Barras and
De la Rosa had mentioned. They
did not know the men, they said.
Then Capps noticed the burglary
report.
With T. P. Farmer, the patrol
man went in search of the two
men. They went to an address one
had given. Sure enough, one of
the men lived there, but neither
was there at that time. A further
search ended when both men were
located in the Eastside park. They
did not have the asserted loot, but
questioning finally disclosed its
hiding place, and it was recovered.
While the two men are held at
the county Jail, the clothing and
fan are held today as evidence to
be used when the two are brought
to trial.
