T ONDON, May 30.-Europe is
~ armed, and armed we'll. Let
there be no doubt of that.
With one of the biggest arma-
ment firms in the world, with the
biggest chemical trust in the world
and with three or four of the
biggest airplane industries, Great
Britain is sitting pretty if it ever
has to go into another war.
Vickers Limited is one of the
four greatest armament makers
on earth. 1t will sell you any
thing from rifles to heavy guns
and howitzerS, from submarines
to battleships. It's chairman is the
Honorable General Sir Herbert
Lawrence, a man with a dis
tinguished military career behind
him.
Just the other day General
Lawrence presided over a meeting
of the shareholders of his vast
concern. He told them that, while
the profits for the year 1888 were
below what they might reasonably
have anticipated under normal
conditions, nevertheless, the result
was quite satisfactory.
In fact, they had made $40, 1000
more profits than in 1882. They
totaled something like $2,700000.
lust as Vickers Ltd. dominates
- the private ornaments field
in the British empire, so the I'm
perial Chemicals Industries Ltd.
towers above all other chemical
combines in the entire world.
The magnitude of the concern
is indicated by the fact that its
assets are about half a billion
dollars and its issued capital
shares total $685. ABS, 900. 1t holds
in its reserves $72,500,000.
In its report, just issued, it is
shown that its profits for 1888
were $23,645, 800, compared with
only $6,362 sos in 1882. 1t makes
alkalis, general chemicals, eXplo-
sives, fertilizers, synthetic ammo
MIA and nitrates and dye-stuffs.
1t is claimed England now leads
the world in the manufacture of
military aircraft, particularly in
heavy bombers, great seaplanes
and very swift scouting and battle
planes. The half-dozen firms
which specialize in these things
have increased their capital and
have shown increased profits.
The attacks made by British
pacifst and anti-war organizations
upon the makers of arms and mu-
nitions have had some striking
results in recent months. Follow
ing publication of their names as
owners of shares in companies
making war material, two mem
bers of the present British cabinet
disposed of all their holdings.

FOR bRAWLEY

Outhitting their Brawley rivals,
and making every hit count, the
FL Centro All Stars scored a rs vic
tory over the visitors on Wilson
school field last night. Chambers
and Lynn Stewart did the pitching
for the local team and had the
BraWleyites under sub m / SIS j o n
throughout the game.
The Ell Centrans staked the visi-
tors to a one run lead in the open
ing inning but came right back in
their half of this frame to score
three runs and take lead which
was never relinquished. At the end
Of the fifth frame the score was IL
in favor of the locals but the Braw
ley team added four more to their
total during the succeeding innings.
HomerunS by Ehmke and Hum
phrey featured the heavy hitting
for the evening, with the visitors
polling out three doubles to add to
the extra base totals. Ehmke with
three out of five and Palmer with
two out of four captured individual
batting honors for the game.

VERM|LYEA
ANXIOUS To
Be CLEARED

LOS ANGELES. Oct. IL. UP) -
Denying his guilt and expressing
willingness to return to Belleyille,
Ont, Canada, to face charges of
numbering his mother, Mrs. Ma
thanial Vermilyea, Harold Vermil-
yea, 40, today sat in Jail cell and
worked cross word puzzles with a
bigamist cell-mate.
Vermilyea, prominent in Southern
California business circles for more
than 10 years, faces the future
calmly.
They will never be able to prove
that 1 killed my mother or even
that l was in Belleville on October
4, the time of the murder" he said.
II don't mind going back there now
as it is nice and warm. expect to
be back here before cold weather
sets in
Vermilyea was district manager
of the California fruit exchange at
Sacramento for nine years, and for
the past year has been field mana
ger of Mutual Orange Distributors,
at Upland, Calf.
He is reputed to be worth about
$4,000 and has two children. He
was divorced from Clarice Vermil-
yea in 1929.
Preparing for uncertainties, Yer
n:ilyea set about making a new will
and setting his affairs in order.
In the presence of AScma Schorr,
named administrator, Vermilyea in
his CELL wrote a will dividing his eS-
tate equally among his children and
Miss Schorr.
He denied he feared the ar1cdy
justice of Canadian courts.
Il merely changed my former will
somewhat and arranged for $500
in insurance to enable me to raise
money if 1 need it," he said. Il am
going back there to fight these
charges and need munitions for it,"
Vermilyea, a middle-aged, partly
bald, bespectacled man, expressed
concern over report that fellow
prisoner told jailers Vermilyea
threatened to commit suicide.
THAT is ridiculous" he said. Il
have never contemplated suicide
and there is no reason for such an
act at all"

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 12-Out on
the University of Pittsburgh camp
us and all around the town they
are calling this years Pitt football
team which meets the University
OF Southern California here Sat-
urday an offensive one.
It's true. The present edition of
the Pitt Panthers is in vivid con-
trast to former teams. Small in
number-49 players-the team has
at least double the scoring power
Of past Panther teams but not so
much strength on defense.
There are a half dozen backfield
men, any one of whom may at any
time break past the line and out
speed the opposing secondary de-
fense for a touchdown.
The line is not big-in fact only
two members of the team tip the
scale at 200 pounds or better-but
it has learned its chores well. Head
Coach DR.. John Balm Sutherland
has taught the men to charge fast
and block cxpertly.
sutherland has eight backs 10
take the place of Mike Sebastian
and Howdy O'Dell, the two regular
halfbacks last year, and Bob Hogan,
the regular signal caller.
His ace in the hole, however, IS
Heine Wejsenbaugh, ITO pound
back who alternates between right
half and fullback. WeiSenbaugh
is a constant scoring threat.
The weak spots in the line are at
tackles where Bob Hoel Evanston,
ILL.,, is the only veteran. He IS eX-
pected to be paired with Big Stan
ley Olejnicak, 190-pounder from
Bellaire, o.
Veterans are available at the
end positions, with Verne Baxter,

had thought of several methods,
including the placing OF a water
melon seed between the thumb and
forefinger, and, with a deft motion
of the same digits, flipping afore-

the locality struck as the winner.
Another was to take the wiShbone
CT a blue Andalusian hen with six
toes, suspend it between the little
finger of each hand, and, where it
points down, that is your winning
team.
This method calls for much ira
