gro, an employee Of the city park
department, painted his tractor a
bright pink he received a very Sc
we're dressing down"
His excuse that Il jus like pink"
didn't do him a bit of good.
Tuesday night flames that took a
toll of IS dead or missing in Grif-
fifth park were racing through the
dry brush, mesquite and grease
wood toward wealthy residential
district.
Page, working on his own ini-
tiative. put a huge scraper blade
on the front end of his tractor,
which was powerful if pink, and
drove a 10-foot firebreak directly
ahead of the flames.
With the aid of the firebreak,
firefighters weer able TO turn back
the flames and save the district.
Pages fine pink tractor was badly
scorched and blackened and the Ne
gro endangered his own life in driv-
ing the firebreak.
Fire Chief Ralph Scott said it
was Pages work that held the
flames from the palatial district
The park commission, intending
to honor Page fully later on, today
gave him an order on paint COM
pany. The commission told Page he
could repaint the tractor pink, pur-
pie, heliotrope or any other color
that he liked.

ROCKEFELLER SAYS REPEAL
MUST ABOLISH LAWLESSNESS

NEW YORK. Oct. 6. U.P)-Liquor
control legislation should seek to
abolish lawlessness. promote tenn
perance, and regard taxation rev.
enue as incidental, John d. Rookie
Teller, Jr said today.
In a statement to pe published as
a foreword to a report on liquor
control, Rockefeller reaffirmed his
personal abstinence and termed the
eighteenth amendment "a regret
able failure" He sponsored the
study.
Rightly, the first objective latter
repeaD is the abolition of lawleSs-
ness" Rockefeller said. ANY pro-
gram offered in lieu of the eigh-
tenth amendment must make that
its CHEM aim even if--and / weigh
carefully what I say-the immed-
late result is temporarily away from
temperance.
THE second objective is the TO-
cuSing of all forces of society upon
the development of self-control and
temperance as regards the use of
alcoholic beverages"
The nation wide disregard for law
which followed attempts to force
total abstinence through prohibi-
ton was IAN evil greater than in
temperance Rockefeller said. The
regretable failure of the eighteenth
amendment has demonstrated the
fact that the majority of the people
of this country are not yet ready
for total abstinence, at least when
it is attempted through legal CO.
ercion."
1.-The eighteenth amendment en-
bodied an ideal" he added, But
it could only succeed with the sup
port of public opinion. The mistake
involved in its passage was the fail
ure to foresee that unhappily it
might not always have that sup
port
Rockefeller expressed approval OF
certain principles of the report"
one of which declares that law must
always be the articulate organ OF

ASK LABOR To
Be PATIENT
BY II. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Oct. 6. U.P -
Organized labor was asked by
speakers at the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention today to
maintain orderly cooperation in its
efforts to emerge from the blight
ing depression of the last four
years.
Postmaster General Farley and
the Rev. Father Francis j. Haas,
member of the NRA labor advisory
board, urged patience and toler-
ance along with full cooperation
with President Roosevelt IS recov-
cry program. ..
Organized labor can make a
mighty contribution to recovery If
it continues to exhibit, not only on
the part of leaders but also in the
rank and file, a recognition of pa
triotic cooperation at which a ma
jority of employers have rendered
to the President S program, Far
ley said.
Father Haas said that criticism
OF the NRA was not justified be-
cause the ultimate result will be an
enlargement of liberty rather than
any encroachment upon personal
privileges.
The need of complete unioniza-
ton in the United States was nev-
er more urgent Ethan it is today
he said.
He urged restraint in the use of
the Legitimate weapon of strikes
, and asked labor to use the national
labor board and its regional
! branches for adjustment OF indus
trial disputes.

Given Approval
The proposal of partial payment
was submitted to the teachers at
meetings this week in the various
schools, and every school in the
district adopted the plan. In many
cases it would actually work a
hardship on certain teachers but
other teachers came forward with
the offer to share their funds with
those who for some reason, were
in greater need of funds.
All the teachers expressed their
willingness to do anything that
would be for the 9 best interest of
the schools and for the citizens of
FL Centre They gladly accepted
the opportunity to cooperate by
taking only half the amount of
salary due them at this time.
The school board, after discuss
ing the proposal with the super
intendent. heartily endorsed it and
expressed their qualification to the
teachers for the fine spirit shown.
In a statement to the superintend-
ent the board said: we wish to
thank the teachers of our school
publicly, for taking the position
which has helped in the solution Of
most vital problem which will
substantially affect the operation
of our schools throughout the
year.
lit was a splendid thing for the
teachers to do superintendent
Weakley stated. ''Their contracts
would be upheld in any court and
they could have compelled the dis
trict to pay them in full. There
was no coercion used and the
teachers unanimously adopted the
partial payment plan. 1t was a
wonderful example of real team
work and the city has every rea-
son to be proud of the teachers.

EXTEND PROBE
IN MOVIE PLOT

HOLLYWOOD. Oct. 6. U.P) An
independent investigation was
promised today by Sydney Bartlett.
screen writer. as he declined to
testify before the county grand jury
inquiring into an alleged mayhem
plot against John Warburton,
handsome young actor.
Bartlett said he would seek out
the motive behind the story of two
robbery suspects that he hired
them to disfigure Warburton. He
reiterated a sweeping denial of the
charges.
The grand jury heard the same
denial from the lips of Alice White
young actress sweetheart of Bart
lett. She remained in the grand
jury room a short time and upon
emerging exploded with indigna-
ton.
This, - she calculated. lis dis
gushing. Why my name should be
dragged into the mess don't
know. I certainly have no infor-
nation on the case and I repeat
that any attempt to involve me in
it in any way is malicious
Percy Hammond, deputy district
attorney, indicated that Bartlett
had been completely cleared in the
grand jury investigation.
Warburton purportedly described
an attack he suffered at the hands
of two holdup men several weeks
ago. The actor formerly was a
close friend of Miss White.
Hammond said the grand Jury
today would determine whether in
dictments should be voted against
Martin Block and Russell Brown
who, according TO police, named
Bartlett in the plot and accus-
ed Miss White of having knowledge
of it.

Record of Gold Mined
Since Records We're Kept.

According to the United States
Bureau of Mines all the gold that has
been mined in the world since any
kind of records have been kept; that
is, from 1893, the year after Columbus
discovered America, down to date,
amounts to a little over a thousand
million ounces. At $40 an ounce that
is worth twenty billion dollars, and
more than half of it is still in the form
of money or gold bars held in banks
as security for money.
In the United States, since 1892, we
have mined about 226 million ounces,
worth above $4,000, 600, 600; and that,
curiously enough, is just about the
amount of monetary gold still in this
country.
In the same $50 years of gold pro-
duction the amount of silver mined in
the world was fraction more than
fifteen thousand million ounces; and
the ratio of silver to gold in the
worlds monetary system before silver
was dropped by one country after
another, was just about fifteen to one.
Silver is coming back as money, but
it is more likely to arrive at a ratio
of about twenty or twenty-five to one
than the traditional sixteen to one"
of the old Populist days.

Soap Lather for Rugs.

Cotton rugs can be washed, but q
special treatment Is desirable for wool
rugs. Wool rugs can be cleansed by
the use of soap lather about the con-
sistency of that used for shaving. Mild
soap flakes should be used, about the
proportion of two tablespoons to cup
OF hot water. The lather can be spread
on small portion of the rug at time
and brushed in with brush that is not
too stiff. Precaution should be taken
that the moisture does not soak the
backing OF the rug. The scrubbing may
be done with a circular motion. The
lather can be removed by means of
cloths which should be replaced when
they become soiled. AS final pre-
caution, the rug should be dried as well
as possible by the use of dry cloths.
One must be sure that the clean sec
tions overlap. The nap of the cleaned
rug should then be brushed in one d.
rection to dry.-Mary May Miller, Home
