ROCK HBYE BABY

Wilmington, Del.-Truck driv-
ers are snoozing along Delaware's
highways, but it's due neither to
the depression nor the recovery
program.
State police are stopping trucks
and, whenever they find the driv-
ers or helpers have been working
more than Is hours, the troopers
compel them to sleep. Confisca-
ton Of drivers licenses for eight
hours assures compliance.
The action comes as a result of
three fatalities within an hour
recently, each blamed on q dos-
ing driver.

President Gerardo Machado and his
followers were investigated Wednes-
day with a view to requisition by
their successors.
Secretary Of the Treasury Joaquin

pedes issued a statement In which he
declared the government would not

NEW YORK, Dec. 13. - Mr.. Rol-
and Rose of Port Chester, N. Y,
London, Palm Beach and Biarritz
eve can give you his street address
in the first named if you doubt his
existence, has given off a novel
plan to defend the America IS cup
against the British challenge next
summer.
Mr.. Rose, 81, retired from bust
ness at an early age-much before
his father, in fact-to devote his
life to literature, bird dogs, yachts,
travel, philosophy and sitting down.
Upon learning that Harold Wander
bilt and j. P. Morgan were having
difficulty raising funds to build a
cup boat, he felt it his patriotic
duty to offer his plans, and hopes
it will assist the New York Y. c. to
avoid financial embarrassment.
my plan,' Mr.. Rose said today,
els well suited to the present econ
omic stringency, but put it forth
primarily for another purpose. This
cup defense business is supposed to
be the last work in exclusiveness.
But is it? Why, some Of those class
j boats have as many as so hired
hands aboard. The personal touch
of the skipper, the finesSe, has been
lost. To be truly exclusive the
boats should be one-man affairs,
therefore I offer the N. Y. A. c. my
services, and the use of my 17-foot
sailing dory, Walloping Window
blind. for the defense of the famed
trophy
The Walloping Windowblind is a
famous ship in these waters. Mr.
Rose mans her singlehanded at the
fashionable regattas, fitting here
and there among the palatial 10
and II meter yachts. He has no
patience for larger boats. "They
are continually laundering on the
course, and cause me endless an
noyance, he said. "And they are
SO communicated up with pas
sengers and sailors like a Staten
Island ferry boat
Came The Beer
Mr.. Rose thought up his plan on
a particularly warm day last sum-
mer. He was sitting in his custom
airy comfortable attitude in the gar
age, the coolest spot on his estate.
~ was musing on some trifle,' to
use Mr. Roses own words, "when
suddenly the doors of my retreat
flew open and key of beer rolled
| in, just as if in answer to a prayer
After several flagons drawn for me
by my man, Lincoln, bright light
came to me. The plan had daWned.
"In anticipation Of being selected
to defend the cup,'' continued Mr..
Rose, ~ have purchased a new $40
sail for Walloping Windowblind. I
may paint her bottom, although
she has worn we'll without it for II
years. And I may put on center
board, but that is highly problem
atical.'
Mr.. Rose was reminded that his
selection would be a terrific blow to
Mr.. Vanderbilt, who, as defending
champion, confidently expected an
other try for the mug. Perhaps Mr.
Rose might take Vanderbilt along
as a passenger, even as a crew. il

GOOD LUCK TO

| NEW YORK, Dec. 10. A
modern forty-niner is heading west
next Tuesday: Clifford Montgom-
cry, captain, quarterback and spark
plug of the Columbia university
football team. He's seeking rain
bows end in California.
The mbia-Stanford Rose
Bowl game at Pasadena on New
Years day will be another annual
classic for America IS football fans
but for Montgomery it will embody
all the romance and Importance OF
a westward trek by oldtime gold
seekers.
Montgomery confided this to the
United Press after last night IS
rousing Columbia alumni dinner in
honor of the greatest team in the
university's history.
He was abashed as cheer after
cheer for Montgomery from nearly
600 semi-hysterical alumni shook
the Columbia clubs damned ball
room.
What was he thinking about &c
these men roared: Montgomery!
Montgomery y
81 was thinking of men-Sweat-
ing men, weary Woodworking in
the hot Pittsburgh steel mills he
said. 81 was wondering if this ac-
clamation, this applause would give
me a chance to rise above the steel
mills myself, and eventually take
my father out of them.
81 was thinking that if we win
the Rose Bowl game, might get a
good job when I get out of college
get a chance to make enough
money SO that dad won't have to
work in the mills any more.
81 thought We just got to
win that game.'
Montgomery comes from the little
town of Tarentum, Pa, % miles
outside of Pittsburgh. His father
work in steel mills and he worked
in them before he went to college
and during his college vacations.

PARCEL POST
WINDOW WILL
REMAIN OPEN

Patrons of the Ell Centre
post office will appreciate the
action of Postmaster Richmond
in keeping the parcel post win
dow open on the two Saturday
afternoons preceding Christmas
until 6 O'Clock.
Ordinarily the parcel post
window closes at noon on Sat
urday the same as all other de-
partments of the post office,
but with the Christmas rush al
ready starting, the convenience
of patrons was considered and
the postmaster decided to keep
the parcel post window open.
Persons wishing to send or re-
ceive parcel post packages will
be able to do so. Other depart
ments will be closed at noon
as usual.
''This convenience is made
possible through the voluntary
cooperation of the post office
staff Postmaster Richmond
said. 81 suggested the idea to
the clerks and they promptly
agreed to split up the work SO
that a hardship would fall on
none and all will share in the
extra hours of work."

CHICAGO, Dec. 10. - After the

League today presented an entirely
new alignment of strength.

by SEN. ARTHUR II. BREED)
president Pro Tenn of the Cali
fOrnia State Senate)

To the Taxpayers of California:
I deem it my public duty at this
time, when the people of California
are being deluged with propaganda
urging them to vote $170,000,000 in
bonds to finance the so-called Cen
trial Valley Water Project, to issue
a warning against the possibility
of adding staggering burden to
an already over-taXed people.
The public is being rallied to the
support of this scheme to add hun
dredS of thousands of acres of ir-
rigated lands to complicate the
present intolerable conditions OF
agricultural production, by the
assurance of its proponents that it
will not increase the present over
whelming tax burdens of the people
of the state.
This is Misrepresentation accord
ing to the plain wording of the act
itself This feature causes me to
issue this warning in the hope that
the people will not permit them
selves to be misled into assuming
an additional tax burden, which
is bound to ensue, should the pro-
ject be approved. AS one who has
followed the scheme from its in
ception, and who fought during the
1888 legislative session to reduce
and to equalize the tax burden of
the people, of the state, 1 am
familiar with the intent and pur-
pose of the sponsors of this pro-
ject.
First, let me state that the pro-
posed $1700O0,000 project is not the
original $160,000,O0O plan discussed
by the legislature, which called for
the various units to be organized on
Self-SuStaining basis, but a
hastily drawn, patchwork plan,
adopted during the very last hours
Of the legislative session, ostensibly
as a water conservation measure,
but in reality to put the state into
the power production business by
back-door methods, at an ultimate
cost probably exceeding $500,000,000
Realizing, under the present de-
pressed conditions of the agricul-
tural and power industries, that the
project could not be built and
operated on a elf-sustaining basis
its proponents determined to drag
in the states support.
To accomplish this they inserted
the following language in the act:
Sec. 16. Any state agency, or the
state, or any department, board
commission, bureau, division or of

tor who is installed in a booth in
the center of the track, with a
clear view of the track at all times.
The operator keeps the "lure' a
short distance ahead of the fore
most dog at all times and when the
dogs cross the finish line, carries
the "lure' out Of sight of the dogs,
SO that they will stop running, as
there is nothing left to chase, the
"lure'' having disappeared from
view.
The program of races to be pre-
sented here will be the same as at
the larger tracks throughout the
country.
Among the list of greyhounds to
compete here will be the names of
greyhounds who have created en-
viable records at the tracks at Gull
yer City, Oakland, Frisco and other
tracks throughout the state.
Another big feature will be the
appearance here of the famous
monkey jockeys. This group of
Simian riders have proven quite
popular at other tracks throughout
the country and have created at
tendance records wherever they
have appeared.
An ostrich race, with human rid
ers, is also announced as a nightly
feature.

there was some trifling task he
could perform.
81 have not considered the mat
ter,' Mr.. Rose said, "but I might
entertain request from Mr.. VAN
derbilt for the privilege. But I
fear I'd have to disappoint him.
The whole keynote of America S cup

rubbing elbows in boat would alb
