Chance Is Here

DEOPLE are worried over prohi-
L bition, not only because of it's
bearing on liquor, but because of
its effect on the administration of
justice and attitude toward govern
ment. People are alarmed by what
has occurred in this country dur
ing the last twelve years to weaken
law enforcement in all respects, to
corrupt politics, promote organized
crime. and make life miserable for
those who want nothing but to be
let alone.
People see little sense in trying
to patch up an experiment which
is wrong in principle. What they
desire is to wipe the slate clean and
start over again.
Their quarrel is not with temper
ance, but with the damage that has
been done to the structure of their
government.
Provided they are reasonably SEN
sible with regard to few other
matters, and reasonably careful in
selecting a candidate, the Demo-
Gratis need do little more than take
straightforward stand for repeal
of the eighteenth amendment to in
sure success. Will thew DO it?

The idea that money makes money brought on
speculation and the depression, an economist says.
And the idea that nothing will make money keeps the

COMP ANY LOSES
ACTION TO GET
CASH REGISTER

Bringing before the superior
court another in a recent flood of
appeals from justice and small
claims courts, the National Cash
Register company yesterday after
noon appealed from the decision
of Judge H. B. Griffin of the
Brawley justice court in a suit
against Archie G.. Little, involving
the ownership of a cash register.
Judge Griffin decided against the
cash register company, holding
that, while the cash register in
question evidently was the property
of the company, the firm had
failed to avail itself of its legal
right by asserting that claim at
the proper time.
The machine was sold to Little
after being attached in suit by
Little against Frank B. BoWker,
and Little held a constable's bill of
sale. The firms complaint said
Little knew the cash register was
the property of the company, and
not of BoWker. The complaint
asked return of the cash register,
or $17062 as its value, in addi-
ton to $40 damages.
Judge Griffin, in deciding the
case, held that the National Cash
Register company's failure to file
third party claim during litiga-
ton between Little and Bowker
counted against the company.

AMELIA EARHART
MAKES HIT WITH
ENGLISH SCRIBE!.S

LONDON, June 16.-U.P}-During
her London stay, Amelia Earhart
managed consistently to come off
with honors in meeting the press.
The British neWspapermen and
women tried at first to interpret
her as an "aaaaahing" and "oooh-
ing fragile young thing, who had
survived a peculiar adventure, but
she always observed drily that she
was only fair pilot with a su-
perior plane"
Her uneXcitability finally forced
the London press to desert the
"frail female" approach, but one
late incident illustrated amusingly
that she confessed certain compen-
sations in womanhood.
Speaking of the book which she
had written. Miss Earhart said that
it had been put into the publish
er's hands shortly before she left
on her now historical flight.
who is the publisher, by the
Way?" inquired an innocent Fleet
street fledgling, not realizing the
significance of the Putnam connec-
ton.
Miss Earhart paused a moment,
twinkled, and said slyly: "Well,
when struggling young air-woman
has a publisher for a husband she
doesn't usually find it difficult to
place her manuscripts, you know"
Adding: HE darent reject It'll"

was a woodpecker.
French declared it Is the second
time Mrs. Owl has threatened him.
The first time she did no more
than flutter above his head,

The second time she really landed,

KNIGHTS GIVES
HIGH PRAISE TO
BONUS SEEKERS

Commenting on the recent visit
of the California division of the
bonus army, Phil knights, city
engineer, an eX-army officer, made
the following statement:
IT was very much impressed by
the conduct Of the bonus army
during its two-day stay here. No
such body of men assembled in such
short time could have adjusted
themselves to the discipline or SUBJ
mitted to the rules and regulations
necessary for such orderly conduct
had they not had previous military
training and a knowledge of the
need of the individual Submerging
his personal interests to the cause
of the organization.
Like most others, / assume,
held the impression that the bonus
army was composed of that ele-
ment of the veterans given to stunt
pulling, adventure and Wanderlust,
and for want of something to do
during lack of employment joined
the bonus army.
Il was rudely awakened from
this impression when I mingled
with the veterans. I found them
serious, sober and purposeful men;
rather desperately in need, and
firmly of the belief they were right
in their convictions. They were
not disposed to tolerate any COM
munism, disorder or conduct un-
worthy of an American citizen.
If the organization continues to
conduct itself during its journey as
it has done here they will make a
great many friends and will gain
the respect and sympathy of the
people they contact whether those
people agree with them in their
efforts OF not"

Ell Centro's man-eating owl,

he was proceedingly in the usual
law abiding manner of deputy dis

French did not tarry to argue

her daily and nightly post at the
corner of Eighth and State streets.
Sheriff Campbell however, is a
kind hearted soul, and recalled re-

owlets about the vacant lot on the

Repeal OF Wright
Act And Ban Upon
Saloon Advocated

public opinion says on account
of economic conditions the Wright
act must 60" This is the state
ment issued by Byron c. Hanna
in behalf of Proposition No. l, re-
pealing the Wright act, and Propo-
sition No. ?. prohibiting forever the
return OF rne saloon in this state
Both measures will appear on the
November ballot.
Hanna's statement was based on
the mounting membership of the
Citizens Wright Act Repeal asso-
citation, which he declares repre-
sents one of the most complete
cross sections of the California elec-
torate ever banded together on any
political issue.
"The point is that the people
no longer recognize the usual lines
of political cleavage in considering
questions that are of vital impor-
tance to their industrial welfare" !"
said Hanna. This is especially
true in California where the public
as a whole realizes that our poten-
tally profitable grain and hop
acreage and Our vast and hiStor-
ically known vineyards, which rep
resent 94 per cent of the grape
acreage in the United States and
which acreage, divided among Al of
the SO counties in California, is
larger than our deciduous or citrus
fruits, may be strangled to the
point that commercially California
will be deprived of a very large
revenue should we not be in posi-
tion as a state to take advantage
Of whatever the nation may do in
the modification or repeal of the
nationa1 prohibition laws.
California consumed less than
10 per cent Of the products from
these vast acreages which means
commercially we had, prior to pro-
hibition, foreign revenue coming to
our agriculturists and industries
amounting to sums that, on ac-
count of their absence, are keenly
felt during these days of depres-
sion.
"It is essential that California
get its house in order before such
modification or repeal comes about.
AS long as the Wright act remains
on the statute books of California,
it will be impossible for this states
agriculturists and industries to
share in the business revival that
will attend such modification of
the federal laws"
Hanna urges all voters in Cali
fornia to unite in aiding agricul-
turists and industries by wiping
out the Wright act legislation in
the interest of lower taxes and in
creased prosperity.

All Delaware Scouts have lust
received the first call for the Rod
ney Scout Camps. The camp sea-
son at this wonderful Scout Camp
on the Chesapeake Bay opens on
June 9th and runs for eight weeks
Registrations for camp opened on
April 18th and some Scouts of the
Delaware State Area had their
registrations in to the Wilmington
Scout Headquarters on that date.
Scouts registering for Camp assure
themselves of a week or two weeks
of fun, thrills and adventure found
in bird hikes, nature tricks, pa
geants, Circus swimming, Bull
Mountainin trail hikes, craftwork,
campfires, stunts and stories gypsy
hikes, shady trees and books to
read, treasure hunts, Scoutcraft,
night games, overnight or short

June 9th to July 18th, has been
selected as the period when all the
Scouts of the Delaware State Area
will go to camp if possible. They
will be just as welcome at any
other period but will probably not
be in camp with as many boys that
they know. Anyone desiring furth-
er information concerning the Rod

get in touch with Stanley M.Wood-
head, Scout Field Executive for
the Delaware State Area. Mr..
