Chancellor In the first place,
Hitler the German govern
ment left the way open for Its re-
turn TO the league and conference
q properly conciliated by the other
nations. More potent yet, perhaps,
"a the fact that none Of the nations
Il financially able to support a war
a. this time. Nor do the people OF
snv Of the countries directly in
VOWED wish to 60 to war, unless 1t
NAV be the always militaristic Prus-
slams Of the reich.
Chancellor Hitler, having an
nounced Germany's withdrawal,
President Won Hindenburg fmme-
dIately decreed the dissolution OF
the reichstag and proclaimed a gen.
eral parliamentary election for No
yember II, with plebiscite at the
same time to obtain the nations
approval of the governments de-
cision. All the state parliaments
were dissolved and there will be
no new state elections, so the pow
er will be centralized In Berlin.
Killers speech Of appeal to the
German people to support his pol
icy was full Of ardor and yet was
half conciliatory and caused hopes
in Great Britain and the United
States, II not elsewhere, that the
reich might be brought to a re-
consideration Of its action. The
officials Of other nations refuse to
get excited, and some Of them adj
mitted privately that Hitler's pro-
test was justified, but not his meth
DDS. The managers Of the dis
armament conference were nat
urally disconnected and decided to
adjourn until October 25. Some
Of them were ready to quit fndei-
nitely, but this move was blocked
by Norman 81. Davis, the American
representative.
A little later Mr.. Davis received
Instructions from the White House
and thereupon his position became
considerably more detached. In
q statement to the press he In.
formed the European nations that
America would gladly cooperate in
any disarmament negotiations but
was mot interested In the political
element of any purely European
aspect of the picture" In other
words, the United States will leave
Europe to settle its own quarrels
In Its own way.
Italian officials rather hoped the
disarmament negotiations could be
continued with the framework of
the four power pact, but France
indicated she would not consent to
this.
The British cabinet heard q re-
port from Sir John Simon, foreign
minfster-who had been in violent
controversy with Baron Won Neu-
rath, foreign minister of Germany
-and was said to be in a concilia-
tory mood, though there was no in
dlcatfon that it would abandon
Its attitude Of cooperation with
France.
Hopes that Germany would come
PACK into the concert of nations by
tae back door were dashed by Hit
ier who, In a powerful address, de-
clared:
Germany Is determined in the
future to attend no conference. en-.

uon' and sign nothing as long as
sne Is not treated equally"

poSAtS, illus ESTABLISHING Oh per
cent maximum for payment to de-
positors. In some cases, where as
sets justify, q somewhat larger dis
tribution may be possible, but
where assets are not worth so per
cent of deposits the dividend will
be less. In some cases, the White
House statement warned, no divi-
dends beyond those already paid
Will be possible.
The division will make loans to
closed banks, taking over their as
sets as security to the extent of
the appraised value Of the assets.
Thus a closed bank desiring to
nquidate will not have to sell its
real estate mortgages and other
frozen and semi-frozen assets at
bankruptcy prices on the open mar
ket. Instead, these assets can be
held for a market more In line with
their real value, while depositors
meanwhile receive as large a pro-
portion of their tied-up deposits as
they would get If they were forced
to wait for the money.
The. plan will be applicable only
to banks closed after January l.,
1888.
TIIOLATORS Of the NRA agree
ment, thousands of whom have
been reported, are facing imprison-
ment and fines, for the President
has issued an executive order d.
recting that force and prosecution
be resorted to by the recovery adj
minfstration. He proclafms that
those who are false to the blue
eagle shall be subjected to fines up
to $500 or Imprisonment up to six
months or both.
Senator Robert Wagner Of New
York, head of the national labor
board, followed this up with a
warning to all industrial groups
that heavy fines and Jail sentences
are provided In the licensing pro-
visions Of the recovery act for
those who f1out the decisions Of the
board and that these penalties will
be enforced when necessary. 'There
will be no escape" he said. "for
the misguided minority who arise
to interfere with every construc-
tive program" To organized labor,
which seems to many to be seeking
solely its own advantage, Wagner
said: "The strike should be aban-
doned as an instrument Of first re-
sort. Industry and labor cannot
cooperate by means of the strike.
Such conflict may determine which
of the two contestants is stronger
at given moment, but 1t is merely
accidental If 1t produces a solution
which serves the. best interests OF
both parties and of the NRAers."

CALIFORNIA VOTES

THE relatively small group of Califor-
! MAS sons and daughters who went to
the polls yesterday left no doubt in the
minds Of the nation as to their prefer
ence when it comes to liquid refresh
ments, and as a result California joins
the roll of states who have decided the
18th amendment to the federal constitu-
ton is not the way to obtain real temper
ance
The vote in favor of repeating the
amendment Is estimated at three to one
throughout the state. with many places,
notably San Francisco, registering more
emphatic disproval of the dry law. The
''bay city, voters voted in Democratic
style, "l6 to y for repeal.
California S vote, together with West
Virginia's make total of 10 states which
have voted Oh the question of repeal, the
verdict being affirmative in each in
stance. One-third of the states in the
Union have thus repudiated the ill-ad-
vised belief that men can be forced by
law into abstinence from Intoxicating
liquor
Proposition No L, for approval of the
Riley-Stewart tax plan, appears to have
rolled up safe ajority. 1t went par
ticularly strong in Imperial county.
Unemployment relief bonds and legaliza-
ton of horse racing took the lead in the
high total of votes in their favor. The
need for providing relief is only too ap-
parent. 1t remains to be seen, however,
what becomes of legalized horse racing,
with its legalized gambling. 1t is to be
hoped that the commission to be appoint
er to control horse racing will function
much more efficiently than the boxing
commission, and it will not have to do
much to surpass the latter body.
Voters registered their disapproval of
exempting private schools from taxa
ton. This was a meritorious measure
which deserved success, but the general
trend against exemptions proved its
downfall
Relief for the earthquake sufferers of
Los Angeles and Orange counties, in the

UNCLE WIGGMYS SHOWER

Jingle and Jangle, with Buster,
Custer and Muster, to say nothing
Of Baby Bunty, the orphan rabbit,
were sitting out in the cool, shady
back yard Of Uncle Wiggilys hol-
low stump bungalow one morning
of what was to be another hot day.
Baby Bunty was singing a little
song like this:
Murray! Hurray! No school to-
day. All we have to do is play!"
Then Jingle sang: "Hurroo! Hur-
ROO No lessons to dol"
And Buster sang: Were very
glad there is no school! But it's
very hot and I wish it was COOL"

Custer.

asked Jingle.
You'll soon see!" laughed Gus
ter. Stand in line.
So, while his brothers and sisters
and Baby Bunty, the orphan rab-
bit, stood in line as if they were
in the Hollow Stump School. Gus
ter went to the edge OF the brook.
With his paws he splashed water
all over the others, showering
them with cool drops.
"Oh, this is lovely!" said Jingle.
Its as cool as an April Shower!"
said Jangle.
1.-The most fun we ever had!"
giggled Baby Bunty as drop of
the splashing water plopped into
her left eye.
In little while the hot rabbits
were cool rabbits and Uncle Wig
gily, seeing what fun it was, as he
hid behind the lilac bush, said to
himself:
I'm going to have fun that way
too. But I'll wait until the children
have gone, for if I hoped out now
it might spoil their fun. They
might think I didn't want them to
get their clothes wet" For Custer
had sploshed water from the brook
on his brothers and sisters and
Baby Bunty and on their clothes as
we'll. But as they only had on old
Summer vacation clothes it didn't
much matter.
After a while. when the bunny
children were cool from their show
er baths, they hoped back to the
bungalow. Then Uncle Wiggily hop
ped out from behind the lilac bush
and he tried to splash water from
| the brook all over himself. But he
couldn't do it very well, and he
was scattering more water on the
ground than on himself when, al
of a sudden, voice called from the
| bushes:
81 know a better way than thai
to get cool on a hot day."
"How?" asked the rabbit gentle
man, never thinking that perhap:
it might be a Bad Chap teasing
him. How would you do it?"
"Ill show you how to make

some animal began coming out O.

ty. I'm so hot and want to be
cool. Tell, US, Custer"
Come on with mel" said the lit
tie boy rabbit. Just then Uncle Wig
gily hoped out of the bungalow. He
hoped very slowly, for he knew it
was going to be another hot day
like the one before, when he and
Mr.. Whitewash, the Polar Bear
gentleman, had taken a freezer Of
ice cream TO the Hollow Stump
School.
Il wonder what my little bun
nies are going to, do?" said Uncle
Wiggily with a curious twinkle Of
his pink nose as he hid in the shade
OF a lilac bush. Il must follow and
see that they do not get into mis-
chief"
So, when Custer led his brother
and sister rabbits and Baby Bunty,
the orphan, down to the end of the
yard, out over the fields, and to-
ward the brook, Uncle Wiggily fol-
lowed, though none of the animal

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT

CAMPLES of Colorado river water are
y to be carefully analysed by the Met
ropolitan Water district, to disprove as
sertions that it contains harmful guam
titles of flourine, considered injurious to
the teeth, in that it discolors them.
First intimation that such a condition
in the water exists, was brought out by
a group of citizens seeking to halt con-
struction of the Los Angeles water aque-
duct.
Many who have imbibed Colorado river
water for years, and who still can be
proud of their teeth, were surprised to
learn that they had been subiecting their
molars and grinders to disfiguration.
'Mottled teeth have been reported
among Nevada children who have been
brought up on Colorado river water. An
examination of children's teeth in this
county has failed to show more than a
few cases of teeth Disagreement and in
each instance the child had come from
some area where something more than
Colorado river water had bearing on
the case.
County health authorities assure us
that there is no occasion for alarm on the
part of Imperial Valley parents. The
''mottled teeth" scare is apparently ami
mated more by politics than by solicitude
for real facts.
