ClANOLA NAMED
TO HEAD PROBE
OF GAS RATES

Fred Gianola last night was ap-
pointed by Mayor H. w. Fawcett
as chairman of a committee, to be
selected by Gianola, to investigate
conditions of service and charge by
the Natural Gas corporation, and
to report at the next regular meet
ing of the city council.
The appointment of the commit
tee chairman followed a general
discussion of gas rate and service
conditions in Ell Centro, and is the
result of complaints received by the
council.
The council passed second read
ing of an ordinance calling sewer
bond vote at the April 5 city elec-
ton, to determine if taxpayers of
Ell Centre wish a new outfall sewer
system, made necessary because of
the decayed condition of the
present system.
An amendment to the present oc-
cupation tax ordinance, to control
amusement concessions consisting
OF mechanical contrivances, passed
1lrst reading. The amount of the
quarterly tax on these machines
VIII be settled upon when the ordi-
nance comes up for second reading.
The city clerk was directed to
write the State Street Improvement
association asking that body to
name committee, which will dis
cuss with the council at it's next
meeting assessment plans to open
the State street crossing.
An ordinance to prohibit sale of
fireworks in Ell Centro was dis
cussed, but it was decided such an
ordinance would be useless unless
the county board of supervisors
makes the same regulation for
county territory. The matter was
continued until the supervisors take
some action on a proposed ordi-
nance now pending before them.
The city attorney submitted spe-
cltications for general public LA
bility and property damage insur-
ance, and the city clerk was di-
rected to notify interested COM
panies the council will receive bids
on this insurance.

fundamental business conditions
recently seems to justify the
feeling that the worst Of the de.

The upturn in security prices,
he asserted, Is due to increase

products, the wearing out of auto.

TRADE LEADERS
: DIVIDED OVER
PROSPERITY

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 UN.SO.
The marked upward trend taken
by the stock market during the
past week has caused a great deal
of speculation among business
leaders as to whether the rise Is
q mere furry which will soon ex-
pend itself or whether it preSages
the return of the full dinner pail
and an era of economic stability.
Opinions vary considerably with
some thinking the rise has been
engineered for political purposes.
Frederick S. Snyder, president
of the Boston Chamber Of Com
merce, said:
Employment Is on the in
crease. From now on the gen.
eral movement will be upward.
"WhiIe the present bull mar
ket will probably follow general
precedence in being Saw-tOOthed
in its progress, yet the average
movement ought to be upward"
DR.. Harvey A. Wooster, direc-
tor of the Massachusetts, Com
mission on the Sterilization of
Employment, was not so optimis-
tic. He said:
Increased activity in indus
try is spOtty throughout the
country. 1t is characteristic Of
this time of the year. 1t is
true that there has been a
slight increase in the textile in.
dusty in New England, but our
two main industrieS-steel and
autOmObiIes-are still at a low
point"
Harry Fahnestock, president of
the Baltimore Stock Exchange,
saw green lights ahead for busi-
ness, and predicted it was only a
matter of further adjustment be-
fore business made its long
awaited comeback.
Another Baltimore business
leader, j. K. Sterne, general man.
ager of the May Company, agreed.
Clarence Francis, executive vice
president of the General Foods
Corporation, interpreted the rise
in the price of commodities as
blazing the trail to better bust
ness.
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president of
the General Motors Corporation,
said:
81 see no evidence as yet that
would lead me to think there
was any definite change in the
business trend. The improve
ment in prices of securities and
commodities certainly reflects
an improved attitude toward
the future, however, and this
confidence is bound to react
favOrabIy on the business situa-
ton"

by BRUCE CATION

-T < i h
 If Miknon e. Eberhart isn't the best writer of murder mysteries now doing business, she's close enough to the top to do until a better one comes along. If you'll read her newest thriller, Murder by an Aristocrat," you'll quickly understand my enthusiasm.

What The Bar Needs

The public has vaguely felt in recent years that there was somthing wrong in the trend of the legal profession. Professor Calvert Magruder of Harvard Law School, addressing the Maryland State Bar Assoeia- ton. tells what it is. Tt is unfortunate. he says. that the best brains of the pro- fession have been spent on manipulation of the corporate devices for the development of companies security affiliates, mergers. non voting stock and investment trusts at the behest of financial adventures who have thereby obtained control of vast pools of wealth contributed by the general public.
 The prestige of lawyers in recent years has been eclipsed by the big man of busi- ness. who has now fallen from his high es- tate. Lawyers should recapture their lost leadership. and cease to take their ethics, eco monies and political ideals from bankers finaneers and big business men. The tac- tics of defense attorneys in the trial of Harry Sinclair for conspiracy to defraud the govA ernment are typical Of incidents tending to confirm the general public in cynical esti- mate of the legal profession The apathy with which members of the New York Bar have received evidence produced before the legislative committee investigating New York city adds no luster to the profession. The legal profession must return to sense of responsibility and duty to the general wei. fare of the nation as a whole"

Safest Cities


 The National Safety Council has com piled statistics which indicate that size of a city and the amount of motor traffic have nothing to do with the proportion of auto accident fatalities Neither does the ar- rangement of city streets. Of the twelve largest cities in the country, Boston has the lowest death rate from this cause. The Boston street pattern is exceedingly intricate and confusing. but there are only 10.7 traffic deaths to every 100000 population. New York city comes second. with rate of l4.5. In the metropolis the street pat tern, except in lower New York. is simple. but the amount of traffic is tremendous. Careful regulation. however. gives it good score in the matter of accidents.
 The other cities in the list, in order. are Buffalo. Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Balti- more, Detroit. San Francisco Cleveland. Pittsburgh, Chicago and Los Angeles. The rate for the last named city is 30.2. more than twice that of New York. Here is a matter worthy of keen civic rivalry. Striv- ing to have the biggest population or the tallest buildings or the most wealth seems considerably less valuable than striving to have the safest streets in the country.

Here, There And EDerytOhere

given to the Rev Thomas Hooker.
 The point of view that Ludlow, who had been deputy governor of
 Massach chusetts and who was trained in the law, was the real author of the orders, has come to be gener- ally accepted by students who now regard Rockers part as more of the advocate than the originator of the code.
 Mrs Langdon, in her historical: notes, adds a further statement which is of large importance and nal of John winthrop she finds that Ludlow, as deputy governor of Massachusetts, signed q treaty on November 4, 1884, between the Pequot Indians of Connecticut and the government of the Massachu- setts Bay colonies. By this treaty said to be the first made in this country, the Pequots gave up all their possessions on the Connecti- cut river to the colonists, provid- ing they would settle there. Thus. to the deductions of Mrs Langdon, the way was paved for the migration to the Connecticut river towns which began in 1885.
 It Is asserted in the notes that this acquisition of the Connecticut river lands by treaty. before the arrival of the early settlers, has
 previously been overlooked by To-, cal historians. Thus, In addition to preserving permanently the rec-s ord of Windsor's observAnceF of its tercentenary, the brochure sheds important additional light upon the facts surrounding the early sett1e- ment of this valley and offers val- uable contribution to the available knowledge concerning 1t.

 Suffice it to szy Senator Bingham spun q beautiful web and the democrats tumbled right into 1t. We don't know whether the gentleman from Connecticut did it with malice aforethoueht. His consistent stand upon prohibition matters would lead us to believe that he merely continued his routine of attempting by any means to secure vote on legaIized beer or liquor law changes. He has. of course. practically admitted that the democratic stand on prohibition more nearly approaches his than the republican. Still we can't help but conclude that he was adroit enough to see the double-edged opportunity facing him. He seized upon it and as result good many southern dem- ocrats are faced with the task of reconciling themselves with the democratic platform which they applauded and hissed in rapid succession.

necessarily true this year, that one can't carry the country without the state.
 If Walker IS removed he ana his friends will accuse Rposeveit of playing politics of wreaking |vengeance for the Tan1maIiy Op- position at Chicago. ' Such growis from the Tiger. however, will receive little stten- ton from the rest of the country not matter how seriously they may be taken in New York.
 Pro and Con Arguments
 The case against Walker is at least strong enough to make sure that Roosevelt will receive some- thing of Q black eye nationally if he doesn't fire the mayor. The re- |publicans would be delighted. Con- vArseiy, walkers removal wotild strenethen Roosevelt in country which dislikes Tammany and it is what most Roosevelt followers ex- pect and desire.
 There is no definite assurance that the voters or the organization would be found knifing Roosevelt by wholesale in November. PoIiti- cal memories are shortlived. Up- state reaction to Walkers removal would be generally favorable. The Roosevelt effort to cOnciliate all New York factions is being prsh- ed vigorously.
 The depression, Hoover's urban unpopularity and the democratic repeal plank will all work in Roosevelt's favor. There seems as yet no adequate reason why the governor should kiss his New York chances go0dby.

A new racket has erept into the liquor traffic. And it seems to center around New York where the number of illegal booze joints is either legion or few depending up- on which side of the liquor controversy you favor. At any rate proprietofs of speak easies have been complaining tofthe police that they are losing thsir beer barrels. The present value of the half-barrels in which the brew is usually delivered is $6. A truck drives up to the speakeasy. The dsiver and helper enter. quaff a few beers. then ask for the empty barrels. They are usually pro- duced and carted away. but not to where they came from. Legalized beer would soon end all such illicit operations.
