LOS ANGELES, June %. U.P)-
The stormy marital career of Bet
ty Ruth McNeer, go, once socially
prominent in Altadena, today was
ended in her death on lonely road
in the San Fernando valley.
Passersby found her body, riddled
by at least four bullets, in an ex-
pensive sedan parked at the road
side.
Also found in the automobile was
her ex-husband, Gray E. McNeer
said to be from Oklahoma. He was
near death from a bullet wound.
Police said McNeer arrived in Los
Angeles two weeks ago and attempt
ed to effect a reconciliation with
his former wife, who had divorced
him last April. Failing in this, they
claimed, he shot her to death and
attempted suicide.
In the prison ward of General
hospital, where he is held on sus-
picion of murder, McNeer denied
he had shot his beautiful ex-wife.
He insisted his former mate shot
him and then ended her own life.
Police said, however, the woman
could not have fired the shots
which killed her.
McNeer was the third husband OF
the Altadena beauty, whose maiden
name was Betty Harkey She was
divorced in 1928 from Arthur P.

PIONEERS IN

When it GENES to pioneering i'm

States Rubber company must hold
a high place in the tire industry,
for it has to its credit the pioneer
ing of many significant accom-

vital part in the progress of trans

1t was the first company to de-
velop its own rubber plantations, to
vulcanize rubber under the original
patent of 1842, to build an auto

build an air plane tire anywhere.

OF BONUS BILL

SAN DIEGO, June 23. WP)-Con-
fidence that the next congress
would pass the bonus bill was
voiced here today by James E. Van
Zandt, nationa1 commander Of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
"We have our groundwork COM
pleted in a major move to get this
bill through the house and senate,'
Van Zandt said. "I am sure we
will get the bonus from the next
congress.
Van Zandt is to speak late today

Officers were to be elected on the
final session today.
Last night the Gresham post No.

ter water service without any cost

expenses and taxes will be reduced,
and power rates will also be mater
tally lowered.
The capital value of a controlled
river and adequate water supply,
of the All-American canal and de-
sitting works, of the canal power
will all increase through the years
to come. These great new resources
will stand as a continuous guaran-
tee of prosperity in Imperial VAL
ley.
These are the facts. They sure
ly constitute sound basis for op-
timism. The highest development
ever pictured in the dreams of the
pioneers is at last positively assur-
ed for Imperial Valley. And no
part of this gigantic development
program-the river program, the
canal program, or the power pro-
gram-will add to the district IS

The All-American canal is now
officially under construction. Dur
ing the four or five years of it's

spent for labor, materials and sup
plies in Imperial Valley, and dur
ing this construction period a
controlled river, will improve
farming conditions throughout the
valley.
The entire Boulder dam ALL Am
erican canal project will bring
lower taxes and lower productiV,
costs. Imperial Valley is to re-
ceive the advantages of a controlled
river without one cent of cost. The
All-American canal will deliver de-
silted water to Imperial Valley, and
the removal of the silt problem
alone will more than offset in saw
ings the scheduled payments for
the canal.
While the actual construction
costs of the All-American canal are
to be repaid to the government,
the funds are advanced free of in

no payments until after the prof.

IMPROVEMENT
IN MARYLAND'S
MILK INDUSTRY

Reminding housewives that there
has been material Improvement in
the milk supply in Maryland in rec
ent years, and stating that with milk,
as with many other foods, coopera-
ton between housekeepers, producers
and distributors, is essential for the
handling of a safe and satisfactory
product, Mr.. A. l.. Sullivan, Chief
of the Bureau of Food and Drugs of
the State Department of Health,
makes some suggestions regarding the
care which should be given to milk
in the home all year around.
"The essential requirements in the
care of milk delivered to the home,"
Mr.. Sullivan said, may be summed
up in the three C's-Clean, Cool and
Covered. Milk from the reliable
dealers meets these requirements, be-
ing kept at low temperature and in
sealed bottles until it is delivered to
the householder. But, it is not at all
unusual for the days supply to be
left out on the porch or doorstep for
several hours before it is taken in
doors. If it cannot be taken indoors
at once, some sort of container should
be provided that will keep the milk
cool until it can be taken into the
house and put in the ice box OF in
some other cool place. Small insu-
lated metal cabinets can be bought at
a comparatively low cost and they an
swer the purpose admirably. Such
containers also protect the milk from
prowling Enthusiastically from
stray cats and dogs.
"As soon as the milk is brought
indoors the bottles should be careful
ly rinsed off and put in a cool place
and kept cool and covered until used.
Heat causes changes in milk that even
actually unfit it for use. On that ac-
count, particular care should be TAX
en- to keep it well chilled. Special
precautions should always be taken in
handling milk to protect it from con-
tamination from human or other re-
sources. In removing the caps, care
should be taken to prevent contamina-
ton by the hands.
1.-THE housewife can cooperate with
the dealer by thoroughly rinsing the
bottles after use and before returning
them. Bottles that are reasonably
clean and free from dried or caked
milk are much more easily made bac-
terially clean.
MANY conscientious dealers are try
ing to deliver good milk to their Gus
toners. An intelligent appreciation
of what they are trying to do and Of
the Importance of good supply, on
the part of the consumers along with
an increased demand for good milk
is necessary for further improvement
1.-THE Bureau of Child Hygiene OF
the State Department of Health rec
ommends that all milk to be used fol
babies-should be boiled for two OF
three minutes as soon as received
then quickly cooled, covered; anC
placed on ice. A quantity sufficient
for single feeding should be warm
ed as needed"
