JAPAN OPPOSES
BOMBING CITIES
Aerial Attacks on Civilians
DeCried by Toxic.

BIZ United Press
GENEVA, Feb. 23.-Japan, whose
armed forces bombarded Tsitsihar,
Chinchow, Shanghai, and WooSung
from the air, has recommended to
the world disarmament conference
that aerial bombardment of cities
and towns and civilians be prohib-
tied.
The proposal was one of many
suggested as Chinese delegates in

that they would call for an eco
nomic boycott against Japan at the
special assembly session March 3
unless Japan displayed a concilia-
tory spirit.
Other proposals included:
Limitation or reduction of air

Prohibition of airplane landing

Strict limitation of air armament

$500 S LOOT
OF BANDITS IN
TWO HOLDUPS
Downtown Pharmacy Yields
$1,000 to Four Gunmen;
Grocery Is Robbed.

Robberies committed within a
period of less than seven hours
Monday night and early today
Melted loot of approximately $1,000,
including $1,000 taken in a holdup
of a downtown pharmacy.
Four bandits obtained the 81, 200
at midnight from the Liggett phar-
macy, Pennsylvania and Washing
ton streets. Another bandit obtained
$500 when he robbed the Regal
grocery, $50 Massachusetts, avenue
today.
The pharmacy robbers had been
In the store frequently during the
last two weeks, according to John
Mcdaniel, 5233 Burgess avenue, as
sistant manager. They entered
Monday night at closing time after
money had been gathered from cash
registers and placed in a safe.
After ordering sandwiches, one
bandit armed with two revolvers,
threatened Mcdaniel. Another, also
armed, stood near.
The bandits then forced others in
the store into the basement and
locked them in a kitchen by wedg-
ing the door with a piece Of wood.
Those imprisoned by A. Robert
Vestal, 1901 East Washington street,
a pharmacist; Mrs. Wayne tastes,
20 Virginia avenue; Miss Lorine
Harmon and Miss Jean Evans, both
of 2016 Central avenue, soda clerks,
and the husband of Mrs. tastes,
who had called at the store to ac-
company her home.
Quietly, one of the robbers told
Mcdaniel he had "just three min
utes to open that safe door if you
want to save your soul" Mcdaniel
complied, and the $1,000 it con-
tanned a taken. Only a $3.50 gold
piece was overlooked.
While the robbery vas in progress,
one of the bandits stood guard rel
those in the basement. The money
seized, all left through a front door.

bright blue bird, pointing one foot
Uncle Wiggily and Billie hurried
through the woods the way the
Blue Jay pointed. Soon they came
TO a little hollow in which were
many dried leaves. And in th-
midst of the leaves was a square
house made of shiny brass wires

cried Billie. Look"
Uncle Wiggily looked and, jump
ing about, inside the bird cage
was, indeed, the little lost squirrel
And Johnnie shouted:

THE old bird cage has a door,
why don't you open it and come
out?" asked Uncle Wiggily as he
and Billie went nearer.
THE bird cage door has slammed
shut and can't open it from in
side,' chartered Johnnie. please
open it for me-"
Uncle Wiggily did this and when
the lost squirrel scampered out,
Mr.. Longears asked him how he
got in.
oh" said Johnnie, and he hung
his head in shame, Il found this
old bird cage a week ago. There
were a lot of seeds in one of the
cups, but l didn't want to tell Billie
about them for l wanted to eat
them all myself. So each day l
ran out of school and came here to
eat the seeds out of the bird cage.
Only today the door slammed shut
and l couldn't get out. I'm sorry
I fooled you, Billy. You may have
all the seeds that are left" Then
Billie thanked his brother.
Johnnie was happy to get out of
the cage and he never went in it
again.

Uncle Wiggily.
So he and Billie were hopping
through the woods now, looking for
lost Johnnie. And it was getting
dark. And it was getting cold. And
it was getting windy. And it looked
as if snow soon would fall.
Poor Johnnie!" said Billie, for
he loved his squirrel brother.
Don't be sad. We shall soon
find him." said Mr.. Longears.
But, though they looked and
looked, no Johnnie could they

be a good thing to ask some of the
Woodland birds and animals if
they had seen the little squirrel.

Indio-BIythe To

BLYTHE, FEB. 4. up - The
desert-last stand of early frontier
days-is on its way to moderniza-
ton with the announcement of
the near completion of a $ll5,0 900
telephone line between here and

Practically all of the work, such

A BRAVE MAN

MANY brave men declare that when q
Ni man has a gun leveled upon another
the latter is perfectly justified in doing
the bidding of the gun holder and that it
is not in the least cowardly to subject
ones self to the orders given by the gun
man.
A man is therefor to be considered
brave far beyond the ordinary meaning
of the term when he chooses to defy the
advantage possessed by the gunman and
resists the orders of the latter
Following out this line of argument it
appears that Mearon Perkins, Negro jan
itor at the FL Centro post office, is just
ly entitled to the distinction of being
known as brave man.
His action this morning in thwarting
the efforts of a desperate escaped con-
Wet who was robbing the FL Centre post
office, is worthy of the highest commend
alton.
A man Of modest means, with a family
depending upon him for support, none
could justly criticize him if he submitted
to the robber. Instead he has the spirit
that distinguishes the mail service-a
spirit which has caused many brave men
to sacrifice their lives in protecting the
mail.
1t took courage that many of US will
admit we do not possess, to battle with
the robber and kill him. Men have been
richly rewarded for acts demanding far
less courage.
Mearon Perkins is brave man and as
such we salute him.

night being of an unusually high calibre
This organization, which has worked
so hard in years past to bring good music
to Imperial Valley and FL Centre, is cer-
tainly deserving of the highest praise
and the fullest cooperation from the
public.
1t was fine group of artists the So
ciety presented at last nights concert.
And the support given them by the So
ciety was of the best.
Those who have worked so long and
so hard to develop the society, as we'll as
those who have sponsored it, are entitled
to the thanks of the community for giving
it the opportunity to enjoy the best in
music.
1t is to be hoped that future concerts
will be even better attended than was
the concert last night.

PERSHING'S INTERVIEW

At the time General John j. Pershing
II was chosen to command the Ameri-
can EXpeditionary Force to France dur
ing the World War, many wondered why
he was selected.
Some recalled that as a captain he had
been jumped over the heads of numer-
Gus seniors and was made a brigadier
general, and laid this to the fact that his
father in law was the late Senator Fran
els Warren of Wyoming, chairman of the
senate committee on military affairs.
Political influence again they said, led
TO his choice as commander of the A.
f. F.
Perhaps the real reason why Persh-
ing was chosen can be found in the an
swer he gave to a group of reporters
Tuesday, when they called on him to
discus the war conditions at Shanghai.
He absolutely refused to discuss any
thing relative to the Far East matter and
told the newspapermen he could have
told them this information over the tel
ephone but decided instead to let them
call on him.
Il have nothing to say, and could have
told you that over the telephone" the
general said, "but you probably would
not believe me. | wanted to tell you face
to face SO you would understand"
The average reporter would have been
justified in believing that Pershing was
"stalling' if the telephone conversation
had been conducted. But one look at the
generals face would convince them that
no amount of questioning could make
him reveal even an inkling of what his
thoughts are concerning China, and that
he was not "stalling". Pershing is not
that way.
Many other men, with military knowl-
edge possibly equal to Pershing's, would
have jumped at the opportunity for so
much publicity and would have given a
long interview. Pershing instead, chose
to keep silent.
Knowing when to talk and when to re-
main silent, are characteristics of true
leadership. 1t is not unlikely that Will
son and Baker knew of Pershing as be-
ing such man when they chose him in
1917. History bears out the wisdom of
their choice.
