A 8 they swing along toward their

their jinxes.
They got rid of the st. Louis curse
in no uncertain manner, beating the
Browns in 8 Of II games In sportsman's
Park, . place where winning always
was difficult for them In past seasons.
Opening their stand against the
West yesterday. the Capital clubmen
licked the White Sox. It was the first
time they had trimmed the Chicagoans
In a series opener here In the current
campaign.
they pasted . defeat on Walter
Miller, the southpaw pitcher who
had licked them three times
twice by shut -0uts-in Grimth
Stadium this year.
Defeating Miller, the Nationals evened
scores for the season with the rejuvenat.
ed Chicago left-hander. It was their
third victory over him.
Cecil Travis. the third baseman, has
come back to the Nationals from Chat
tanooga and will stick around the big
show until the end of the season. He
looked good in fielding and batting
practice yesterday and may show his
wares In competition should Ossie
Bluege need . rest or the club need
pinch-batter.

THERE still was plenty Of
trouble in sight for the
i New York Giants today, but
behind them was convinc-
ing proof thai they have the abil-
ity to come back when they
have to.
The Giants lead, which dwindled at
an alarming rate in the first two games
Of their important series at Pittsburgh,
remained at 6hz games as they rallied
brilliantly to win the second game of
yesterdays double-header and the third
of the series, to l after the embattled
Buccaneers had pulled out 6-to-5 ten
inning decisic1 in the opener.
The triumrn, while it ruined Pitts
burg's hopes OF sweeping the series and
cutting the Giant margin to a mere ~
games, left the league leaders with
two more games against their nearest
rivals today and tomorrow, and q pair
OF tough customers, Chicago and st.
Louis, still to be met after q breathing
spell at Cincinnati against the last
place Reds.

Chisox Hit in Three Rounds.

n KcCOLL gave fiye bases on balls.
M but he was not really wild. He
seemed to be pitching to spot"
au the way, striving to place the ball
20 well the White Sox would have little
at which to swing. When he missed his
"spot," it was not by much.
He walked Q batter in the second In
ming, but q force-out followed. He
walked the first batter up In the third
round and after Faber had let third
strike 60 by, Swanson got the first hit
on the old-timer, single to left. Haas
drilled into q force-play, but another
pass filled the bases.
This brought up the dangerous
Simmons, but McCol hurled 80
well that AIS best was . harmless
hoist to Harris In right.
Hayes drew q worthless pass with TWO
out In the fourth, then the White Sox
were kept Oh the runway until the
sixth, when they got their lone run.
This was the one inning In which they
mustered as many as two safettes. With
one out, Simmons singled and after
Appling skied out, Kress walked. A
single by Hayes Tailed Simmons and
sent Kress to third base, but McColl
threw q third strike by Berry.
Kress got the last hit OF NC
Coll at the outset OF the ninth.
It ipas a dribbler that the pitcher
cu0ed about, but It did not seem
that NTH clean fielding Alec
could hape made the out.

clash, ral1ytng to drive Freddy
Fftzsimmons to cover in the late in

CITY COUNCIL NOT ANNOYED
by LONG BEACH PROPAGANDA
Members Decline To Be Stampeded By
Coast Claims Colorado River Water Not
Desirable For Drinking.

A campaign of SANDER against Ell
Centro's water supply was brought
to the attention of the city council
at its regular meeting last night by
Earl O'Day, representative of the
Metropolitan Water district. O'Day
told the board that in Long Beach
number of pictures are being
displayed which tend to show that
the water from the Colorado river
is not fit for human consumption.
These pictures, it was said, show
children with mottled teeth and
suffering from other diseases
which are supposed to be the re-
suits of drinking this water. The
photographs are further supposed
to be of valley children, some from
Ell Centro.
He stated that these photographs
are being circulated in Long Beach
in connection with campaign to
have that city withdraw from the
water district, and he suggested
that it might be wise to investigate
this campaign and refute, publicly,
this SANDER against the citys wa
ter supply.
O'Day was told by members of
the council that they appreciated
his coming before them with the
news he brought but that such was
"old stuff" that such stories had
been circulated so frequently before

INTERPRETING ECONOMIST FOR
PRESIDENT AT LAST IDENTIFIED

money group among the economic
advisers with whom Mr.. Roosevelt
has surrounded himself. The pro-
gram for raising domestic commo-
dity prices through gold purchases
came from the group which veers to-
ward inflationary policies.
Riefler's Importance as an ad-
ministrative economist was empha-
sized when he was made econom-
ist for the executive council, the So
called super cabinet" which brings
together heads or the various units
in the Roosevelt recovery program.
President Roosevelt has referred
frequently to his interpreting &C.
onomist." The reference came to be
regarded somewhat similarly to the
white House spokesman" of the
Coolidge days Some even wondered
If there actually was such person
or whether it was a convenient term
for any bit of economic research
done at White House bidding.

GIRL BANDIT s
. CASE To JURY

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 2. U.H -
With apparently only slender
chance they would acquit the jury
in the case of Burmah Adams
White, widow Of slain bandit who
is charged with IL felonieS, retired
shortly after noon today to delib-
crate.
The young blonde defendant saw
the mainstay of her defense badly
shaken by the closing words Of
Superior Judge Fletcher Bowron,
who charged the jury that fear OF
death at some future time is not a
legal excuse for committing a
crime.
Mrs. White had contended that
she assisted in the crimes OF
Thomas White, her bandit hus-
band, because he threatened to kill
her if she did not.
Her defense also was based on
the contention that she married
White without knowing he was a
criminal, and this point also suf-
fered under the testimony of hold
up victims that she drove White S
car and otherwise assisted him in
holdups that were staged several
weeks before their marriage.

WATCH TALK
PRESENTED AT
ROTARY CLUB

"The Watch' was the subject of
an interesting craft talk given at
the regular meeting of the Ell Gen.
tro Rotary club this noon by Oscar
F. Haun. local jeweler.
He pointed out the important
part which time told by the watch,
plays in all lives and stated the
tick of the watch follows man from
his birth until he is licked out of
the world.
The many and intricate parts of
the watch and the precision neces-
sary to make it perform accurately
were described in detail together
with advice as to care which a
watch should be given and the need
for having it checked over occa-
sionally the same as any other
piece of mechanism.
The speaker recounted the vari-
Gus means used by the ancients to
measure time and stated the first
watch factory was built in Switzer-
land in 1910. There are now eight
large watch factories in the United
States turning out Sl5,000,000
worth of watches annually, and
American watches now hold place
in the world equal to that held by
watches manufactured in any
other nation.
Tom Raab acted as chairman of
the day with President Roy Breed
love presiding.

FORD REPLIES
To STRIKERS

NEWARK, N. j., Nov. 2. U.P)-A
statement of policy from the Ford
Motor company in reply to demands
of strikers at the Edgewater, N. j.,
plant was turned over to the state
NRA committee today. Harry Tep-
pier, acting for the committee, said
it would be sent to General Hugh 5.
Johnson, NRA administrator, and
Senator Robert F.. Wagner, chair
man of the national labor board
1t was not indicated what action
the strikers would take. The Ford
statement pointed out that three Of
the four demands of the workers
already are part of our practice >
The strikers original demands were:
A seven hour day, with SIS mini
mum pay and no more than 35 work
hours week.
Recognition of collective bargain
ing.
The right of freedom during the
80 minute lunch period, employees
permitted to leave the premises if
they desired.
Upon final agreement or adjust
ment of these poivs, that every
employee participating in the strike
be permitted to return to work.
The Ford reply pointed out that
it reserved "in full the rights which
the constitution guarantees to en-
ployees and employers" and added:
Recognition of collective bargain
ing through representatives of the
workers own choosing is already re-
quired by the present National In
dustrial Recovery Act"
Regarding the hour and wage de-
mand, the company said it hoped
conditions soon would permit not
only SIS day, or 81, the minimum
until 1888, but even a higher rate.
IF the law" the statement con-
tinued, prohibits men from working
more than 35 hours a week, wages
for 35 hours will be paid. When the
law permits men to work 40 hours
week, wages for 40 hours will be
paid, and the company will main
tain, SO far as the conditions Of
business permit, its five day week of
eight hours

ciate of Harvey Bailey and George

that valleyites were becoming used
TO them and paid but slight atten-
ton to them now.
The council pointed out to the
water district representative that
public health records both of the
city and county will bear out the
statement that there have been no
cases of disease or Disagreement
as the photographs would claim
from the use of Colorado river wa
ter in the valley. With that state
ment the council dismissed the
subject from further consideration.
Two ordinances were adopted by
the board last night. One is to
regulate the activities of yards
dealing primarily in used automo-
bile and farm machinery parts. 1t
stipulates that each such establish
ment must pay fee of $50 per
year, quarterly in advance; must
employ no minors unless with po-
lice permission after an investiga-
ton of the employee; must keep a
register of all purchases and sales
for police inspection. outside COL
lectors of junk and used parts are
to pay a fee of $25 per week, COL
lectible in advance.
The second ordinance regulates
the operation of card games in the
city. This provides that where such
games are conducted without any
connection with other business en-
terprises fee of 5000 for TIE first
month and $100 for each succeed E,
ing month shall be paid. Where
such games are in connection with
some other business, the fees are
500 for the first month and $50 for
each succeeding month. In each
case where more than three tables
are operated, special fee of SIS
per month shall be charged for
each extra table.
No minors are allowed to be
present in these rooms either as
players or onlookers and they shall
not operate between the hours of
midnight and 6 O'Clock am. each
day. Penalties are provided for in
fractions of this ordinance, consist
ing of fine, Imprisonment, or
both.
A committee from the chamber
of commerce appeared before the
board regarding the State street
crossing. 1t was pointed out to the
board that the permit granted by
the state railroad commission will
expire this month and that efforts
should be made to have it renewed.
= 1f wi
that the city should go slowly in
this matter and not take any defi-
mite action at present.
