Mexicons Abandon
Truck And Sacks

United States customs border pa
troll officers at Calexico are in
possession today of a small truck,
bearing a Mexican license, and 200
entirely new burlap sacks, and do
not know exactly what to do with
either the truck or the sacks.
Inspectors Stone and Oliver came
into possession of the truck and
sacks last night when two Mexicans
abandoned them quite suddenly
near the international line east of
Calexico, upon the approach of the
officers. The MeXicans ran across
the line, leaving the truck, sup
posedly theirs, and the sacks, sup
posedly stolen.
The truck and its burden were
taken to the border patrol garage
at CaleXico, where officers were
awaiting the arrival of some per-
son to identify the burlap sacks.
No report has been received of the
theft of any new sacks.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. a. - Gov
ernor Rolph's economy election" ;,
at which he would invite the vot-
ers Of California to help him bal.
ance the states budget, today
brought forth storm of comment
in the legislature.
1t was also the signal for intro
duction of a number of anti-ad-
ministration resolutions held back
by the authors out of courtesy to
the governor until his biennial
message was delivered.
Among these we're proposed leg
islative Investigations of the GUST
ing of Colonel Walter E. Garri-
son and James I. Herr as director
and deputy director of public
works, purchase of bonds by the
directors of finance, junket trips
by state officials, and increases in
state salaries.
The lawmakers were frankly
startled by the slashing cuts pro-
posed by Governor Rolph in his
message, particularly those affect
ing education, the old age pension,
| and the gasoline tax.
The message, portion of which
was broadcast by radio, accounted
for the spending of a $31 1000, 600
surplus inherited" from previous
administrations, and the impend-
ing deficit Of s9,500,0O0 in the
states general fund.
This deficit can be wiped out
and the budget balanced without
new taxes if the legislature carries
out my program said the COVER
nor.
Failure to do this, he asserted,
would be tantamount to admission
that the legislature favored levy
ing new taxes.
He proposed a special election in
February for the people to vote
upon constitutional amendments
designed to put his plan into effect.
Outstanding recommendations of
the governors program were:
Reimburse the general fund for
money used to pay interest and re-
demption of highway bonds from
1888 to 1884, $17,500,000.

CHERBOURG, Jan. 4. (U.PS-The
$18,000,000 liner Atlantique, one of
the most luxurious of French pas
senger ships, was adrift and on fire
without a crew today, probably a
total loss.
Fire broke out off Cherbourg
while a skeleton crew of about 200
men but no passengers was aboard.
The Atlantique had been taken off
the south Atlantic run for her first
overhauling since her maiden voy-
age in September, 1881.
The crew took to the lifeboats
when it became evident that they
could not check the fire. The Ger
man freighter Ruhr reported rescu-
ing only 80 men but officials of
the Atlantique believed several
steamers and dozens CT other small
er craft near the ship picked up all
the men.
The Dutch steamer Achules ra-
diced she was hurrying to Cher
bourg with part of the Allan
tique'S crew, including some who
were burned or injured.
French navy tugs rushed to the
scene, 25 miles west of the Guern-
sey Islands about half way between
Cherbourg and Brest. The British
steamers Falmouth and Fordcastle
and other ships stood by.
The burning of the Atlantique
and the loss of the Georges Phil
ippar several months ago on a mai
den voyage meant severe losses to

LOST PACIFIC
isle BELIEVED
N0NEXISTENT
u. S. Surveyors Mark Land
OFF Sea Charts AS
Imaginary.
BY DAVID DIE1.Z
Scripps- Howard Science Editor

Gauges Island is missing. Ac-
cordinq to the map it is in the
North Pacific. But a japanese naval
survey reports that it can't find the
island. Experts Of the U. S. hydro
draphic office offer the simplest So
luton Of the mystery. They say
that in all probability there never
was any Ganges island except on
the map.
They point out that one Of the
duties Of map-makers during the
last century has been to get rid Of
many supposed islands that earlier
navigators thought they had sighted
in the fog.
However, one should not criticize
the early map-makers for listing
these islands. There's no damage
done if a ship captain comes to a
spot on the ocean where the map
lists an island and finds none. But
at night or in a fog plenty Of dam
age could be done if he ran his ship
into an island that the map failed
TO list.
We should not be surprised that
our knowledge of the ocean still is
incomplete. for it is only few CEN
turies since men stood upon the
shores of Europe with no idea of
what lay on the other side.
Myths Are Numerous
In those days when the ocean was
thought to be full of sea-serpents
waiting to swallow up tiny sailing
ships, maps Of the Atlantic were
dotted with islands which have since
been shown to be Pigments of the
Imagination.
These mythical islands were no
mere points of land like the miss
ing Ganges island, but earthly para
discs to stir the imagination and
fire the spirit.
The most famous of these .egen-
Diary islands were ST. BrandanS
island, Antillia or the Isle of the
Seven Cities, and Atlantis The
fame of Atlantis has by no means
subsidized even now and periodically
some trusting soul sets out to find it.
Diving expeditions are occasion
ally organized on the assumption
that the island has sunk beneath
the waves. The theory is that mar
velous treasures Of gold and jewels
lie in its water covered cities.
Legend Hinges on Fish
The stories of st. Brandan's island
relate to the adventures of an Irish
abbott, St Brandan, who lived in
the sixth century In many ways,
his adventures were as remarkable
as those which Ulysses had in
Homers "Oddysey."
One island which the good abbott
is supposed to have visited possessed
white sheep which were larger than
oxen. On another voyage, he alighted
on what he thought was small
island, lit a fire, and then was sur
prised to find the island beginning
to move, The island was really a
gigantic fish, the ancient legend as
Sures us.
But the most marvellous island
which the abbott visited was the one
to which his name was attached.
This island was supposed to possess
a mild climate and a fruitful soil.
Maps of the thirteenth century
show this island in various loca-
tions. Prior to the discovery of
America it was placed in the vicinity
of the Canaries or the Madeiras.
Maps of the sixteenth century show
it further to the west
In the last thirty years. ma
chinery and power on farms have
made it possible to grow wheat and
corn with about half the human
labor previously needed.

Made Movies:
These prize films are non-pro-
fessional and are quite interesting
to the movie maker in seeing the
technique of others and possibly
gather few ideas to improve their
own filming. There were more than
200 amateurs who competed for
these prizes and the contest was
world wide with several foreign
films submitted.
TarZan Picture Wins
"The first prize went to William
A. Palmer and Ernest w. Page,
Palo Alto, Cal, for their three-reel
film entitled 'Tarzan Jr.' All play
ers in this picture were boys in a
summer camp who discovered one
of their members has a movie cam
era decided to make q. motion pic
ture.
They based their story on
Tarzan and worked up a splendid
bit of comedy, interjected a fine
piece of melodrama with an Alger
Jr finish that rounded it out into
a production that many of the
judges felt would have been worthy
of showing in any theater The
acting direction, story and handling
as a whole was considered equal to
many a professional comedy.
THE second prize went to Tatsui-
chi Okamoto of Matsuyama, Japan,
for his reel entitled Lullaby. The
outstanding features of Okamoto's
work is his photography and COM
position.
"a Novel Movie"
"The third prize went to S. w.
Childs Jr. of New York City for
his one-reel film entitled Id Be
Delighted Tor His film aroused
much admiratio for the novel way
in which he handled his one-reel
picture. The whole story is told
with hands and feet, and all inter
Tors. and was rated high.
Last summer some friends and
I produced a film entitled The
Green Eyed Monster and we had
a lot of fun making it, The acting
is pretty fair considering the actors
and actresses were inexperienced in
movie technique. I shall try to
show this film also for it is a local
picture, but was not entered in the
movie contest.
Creates Much Interest"
"Our new production entitled The
Caveman,' is partially finished and
owing to an unfortunate incident,
the leading lady was thrown from
her horse and she suffered broken
bone in her foot, which meant the
hospital for a few weeks and th>l
home in a plaster cast.
This show and future ones is to
create interest among amateur
movie makers in this city. We have
a small club with no financial
obligation, and when we make a
film, we divided the cost. I have
no special AK to grind for these

interested in movies is welcome.
