rarest feelings in modern life, al
though it must have been common
as late as a century ago. Drought,
flood, storm, lightning, plague and
famine have all been brought more

things which can still frighten us
are rare and remote disturbances of
nature, like earthquakes and vol

WOMEN GAIN
MANY PLACES

WASHINGTON, July s. UP
Women have begun to take a more
and more important part in the
economic life of the nation, ac-
cording to the department of labor.
The women's bureau of the de-
partment said, however, that in
1880 seven out of every nine wage
earners were men, whereas in 1910
for every 100 women ''wage earn
ers'' there were 373 men, in 1920
the ratio was 100 to 387 and in
1880, 100 to 354.
Some of the occupations. in
which women yet have to be en-
ployed, are boilermaker, puddler,
structural iron worker. locomotive
engineer. "soldier, sailor or mar
ine' said the bureau. In 1880 they
had a "ftoehold' in strikingly mas
culine occupations. For instance
four women we're mining engineers,
ii were factory machine oilers, &c
earned their living as airplane
pilots, and IL as veterinary surgeons.
Twenty-one were inventors. a.
"Women operators and laborers
outnumbered men in IL manufac-
turing industries in $780," said the
bureau, listing these industries as
silk mills, knitting mills, cigar and
tobacco factories, and candy fac
tories. -

Cruelty To Animals

Guy Musgroye, of Yuma, was
fined $25 in the justice court at
Winterhaven on a charge of cruel
ty to animals preferred by w v.
Truitt, county humane officer Mus
grove entered plea of guilty.
According to Truitt, Musgrove
was hauling horses to the Gay
Lion Farm at Ell Monte. TO be used
as food. Two of the horses were so
weak they could not make the trip
and to avoid the work of burying
the animals, Truitt stated, Mus
grove gave the weakened animals
to Gene Todd, an IL year old boy
The youngster wanted to save the
horses and sat up three nights try
ing to care for them, though both
were unable to rise. The boy built
shelter for them and carried food
and water to them with the help of
Harold Breech, IL, who remained
part of the time with the animals.
Truitt took the matter up with
the Los Angeles Humane society,
which has promised to send junior
officers badges to the two boys.

ROME. July 6. (U.P)rTourists are
pouring into Italy this year.
Official figures show that from
January l to April Is. 226,0O0 visit
ors entered the country by railroad,
while only $4,000 crossed the from
tier on trains in the corresponding
period of 1882.
This influx of tourists is center
ed chiefly in Rome. The Jubilee
Year is responsible for most of this
flow, but various cultural meet
ings and heralded national cele-
brations all are attracting large
crowds
Hotels are literally packed Over
636, 900 persons, it is calculated,
registered at hotel bureaus during
the first three months of 1888
The National Tourist Commits
sariat is buster today than it ever
has been since its creation two
years ago. Hotel managers and
restaurant owners found guilty of
increasing the fixed rates set by
the authorities are fined and for
mally censured.
Public offices have received strict
orders to go out of their way in
dealing with visitors and fixed
prices are by now established

spell prosperity, is seen by Presi-
dent Roosevelt as group of spe-
eial markets for certain commodi-
ties such as cotton, in which there
are Surpluses.
There is little hope here that
other nations will abandon their
economic nationalism which is ex-
pressed through high tariffs, en-
bargoes and import quotas. Mr.,
Roosevelt is faced with the posi-
bility of having TO take measures
to exclude some foreign goods or
to check their import by higher
tariffs, under the industrial recov-
cry act so that the higher Ameri-
can price level will not be leopard
lied by cheap labor nations. Ger
tain nations have reduced wages
almost to the vanishing point. In
such a situation the hope of gen.
eral foreign trade as a route to
American prosperity is regarded as
precariouS.
Some of Mr.. Roosevelt IS closest
advisers hold that foreign trade is
a result of prosperity, rather than
the other way around. They argue
that once nations get on their feet
internally by balancing budgets
and raising price levels, a certain
amount of international trade
comes automatically.

Leslie B. Henry, Mrs. Shelby S
former financial agent who pleaded
guilty to misappropriating large
sums of Mrs. Shelby's money, con-
tinued the deposition through
which he hopes to show extenuat-
ing circumstances. The deposition
is being made privately, but copies
are being furnished Superior Judge
Burnell. who will consider Henry S
plea for clemency.

Mrs. Shelby, as Miss Minter's S bus
mess manager, once dispatched
Henry to offer Miss Minter a set
tlement of $l65 900 as Miss Min
ter S entire share of screen earn
ingS estimated at $742,0
Miss Minter refused the offer,
Henry depoSed, with a bitter ad-
monition to "go back and tell your
employer I am not going to listen
to any more of her promises and
assurances, not one of which has
ever been kept
Throughout the deposition ran
the thread of bitterness between
Miss Minter her mother and a sis
ter, Margaret.

"She cher mother) has no love
for me- Henry said Miss Minter
told him, land her only consider
alton is for herself and Margaret.
She is ayaricious and only sur
passed in that quality by Margaret,
who would see me starving in the
street if she could keep a dollar
away from me. >
Mrs. Shelby showed extreme ner-

her her daughter had engaged
Henry o 'Melveny as her attorney
to force settlement. AT that time,

is going to be a suit filed, I am

REPORT FILED
BY HARR|GAN

During the month of June, grass
hoppers continued to do consider
able damage to alfalfa fields in the
north end of the valley. Following
up the poison bait campaign start
ed during the latter part of May,
23,575 pounds of poison bran was
scattered over all infested areas.
Good results were obtained from
this and at the present time very
few hoppers of the first brood are
to be found. according 70 the
monthly report of B. Il. Harrigan,
county agricultural commissioner.
A second infestation, the second
brood, has appeared on some ranch
es. This brood will probably do
less damage than the first as q
quantity of poison bran is kept on
hand for immediate use. AS soon
as these infestations are noted,
poison is spread over the area. In
this manner of continuing the
poison campaign, very little dam
age will be realized.
The mixing and scattering of
poison bait has been done through
the use of r. F. C. labor under the
supervision of the agricultural COM
missions department, made possi-
bic by the cooperation of the board
of supervisors.
A project toward the eradication
OF camel S thorn, noxious weed,
has been started and is progressing
rapidly. Infested areas are to be
cut and burned; following which a
heavy border will be built around
the infested area and this enclosed
area flooded for a period of so
days. This procedure during the
hot season of the year will kill the
plants by scalding. Following the
flooding, and as soon as the seed
terminates, period of clean culti-
vation will complete the eradication
program.
The following goods were in
spected and passed into Imperial
county during the month: 90 orn-
amentals. 64 citrus trees. 13 water
lilies, Sc sacks alfalfa seed rs sacks
sudan seed, l sack honeyball seed.

truck loads pineapples, Al truck

City Opens Fight
On Puncture Vine

A crew of men from the city en-
gineers office started out this
morning to rid the city streets and
parkways of puncture vine. Their
equipment consists of a large blow
torch apparatus mounted on wheels
which can easily be moved from
spot to spot as needed. This torch
directs a steady and soaring flame
onto the foliage of the plants, burns
it up and destroys the roots of the
weed at the same time.
One of the men engaged in rid
ding the streets of this pest stated
that this outfit did the work in a
most satisfactory manner and was
probably the best method of COM
batting the puncture weed that had
been thought of to date
The men will cover the entire city
in an effort to eradicate this weed
pest.

as 1t finds necessary"
If the charges are sustained by
inquiry, prosecution will follow un-
der the terms of the antitrust laws,
which prohibit combinations in re-
straint of trade, price-fixing, and
similar practices. Wallace empha-
sized that the antitrust laws re-
main fully in effect until, and If
all units of an industry are brought
under a code authorized by the new
relief laws.
In the event even more drastic
action is necessary, Wallace is
armed with emergency powers
which enable him to place an entire
industry under federal license
Members of the industry who failed
to obey the federal Price edicts
could be virtually barred from busi-
ness.

ma, Delaware & Hudson, Atchison,
