CODY'S DEATH
RECALLS GREAT
OF THE MOVIES
As Pioneer of the Silent
Films, He Was Conten,-
pOrary of First Stars.
BY E. de S. MELCHER.

LIE uC % 4fAGAShLns
THE death of Lew Cody yester-
day in Hollywood drives home
with something that ap-
L proaches swift chagrin the
passing of the old cinema days
Cody, who lived well and fast, and
who was particularly hoSpitable to all
newcomers to the Coast-he was good
enough to want to include us last
Summer on one of his popular week
end partieS-Went through the cinema
mill and was one of the few who,
while not notably successful in the
talkies, still was able to stand up
and take it when the old silent pic
tu1es went into the waste baskets.
Speculation about Cody brings to
mind the wide panorama of yeSter-
day-those handsome screen faces
which smiled so brightly and then
suddenly seemed to collapse when it
was necessary for them to talk.
They however, served their purpose,
carrying the first fruits of the cinema
to distant shores and igniting audi
ences with the potentiahties of this
new medium.
With Cody one may conjure up
although he was a juvenile COM
pared to many-the gaudy Theda
Barra, who was never so happy as
when draped in beads; the round
eyed Mary Miles Minter, who before
she took to extra aVerdupois, at one
time was an honest menace to Mary
Pickford; Mabel Normand. Coyds
second wife, to whom he proposed
successfully between dessert and
coffee at a dinner party; Wally
Reid, who contributed a set of boy
ish roles never since duplicated in
the films; Jack Pickford, who then
was making simple love to simple
girls in, usually, simply films,
the great Annette Kellerman. whom
We can remember watching with awe
one sweet Summer as she dove off
Bar Harbor cliff; the great Charlie
Chaplin, who then was considered
not SO great as he is today; Mae

complete. and the GisheS, one

FOUR SURVIVE
PLANE CRASH.

STOCKTON, Calf, Dec. 4 U.P)-
A twisted mass of airplane wreck
age and a broken power pole told
today of the close call four Seattle
men had in trying to land an air
plane in the dark here last night.
All four were suffering from pain
tul though not serious injuries.
Eddie Rasmussen, 81, pilot of the
plane, had a leg fracture. So had
William Douglas, Sd, official of the
Musicians union at Seattle. j. E.
Drain, investment broker, had a
broken nose and facial lacerations.
Dustin Barnes, 81, had severe head
lacerations.
They were returning from a
pleasure trip to Mexico when the
accident occurred. Flying from
Nogales, Sonora, Rasmussen noticed
that his gasoline supply was run
ming low and that he would not be
able to reach their destination at
Sacramento where they had plan
ned to spend the night.
Reaching Stockton, he circled the
airport several times, hoping the
lights would be turned on. Just as
the airport attaches heard his
motor, the plane struck the pole
and tumbled to the earth where it
was demolished.

TO DRAW UP
ROAD PLANS

Programs for road improvements
in each supervisorial district of the
county will be drawn up by indi-
vidual supervisors and presented to
the county SERA planning COM
mission at an early meeting for fin
al approval by the state board.
This action was taken by the board
yesterday following hearing on
the question of county roads dur
ing the afternoon session.
Highways in all sections of the
county were included in the dis
cussions and resultant programs
with particular emphasis laid on
the Imperial highway; the proposed
road to run from Coyote Wells
through the southern part of the
county to Calexico and thence east
ward; the river highway from
Yuma to Las Vegas and the through
north and south highway from CAL
exico to Banff in Canada.
AT the last meeting of the coun-
ty planning commission this mat
ter of improving county roads had
been referred back to the super
visors for discussion. With this ac-
ton of the county board the mat
ter will again be placed in the
hands of the SERA commission for
further action and approval.

URGES STAMP
To PUbL|C|zE
CANAL WORK

Albert F.. Miller, manager of Hotel
Barbara Worth. has suggested to
the staff of the chamber of COM
merce that there should be an ALL
American canal sticker to be put on
envelopes and letters, to publicize
the work on the canal, and to in
duce visitors to come to this area
to see this interesting construction
work in progress.
Miller's suggestion is that these
stickers have rs their motif one of
the large 85-foot dredges with the
sand hills in the background, and
that they be printed and sold at
cost, SO that everyone can use them
by the hundreds, and in that way
attract visitors to Imperial Valley.
Car window stickers may also be of
advantage, and particularly pen
nants and banners to use on the
cars.
"We have an attraction here, "
said Miller, "but little less impress
sive than Boulder dam. Las Vegas,
Nevada has profited wonderfully
from the flow of tourist travel of
people visiting Boulder dam. We
can reap a somewhat similar re-
ward here in increased business if
we will properly publicize the work
of these dredges which is about to
commence. Our roads, he contin-
ued, "from the coast are perfect,
and if we tell the many people re-
siding in Southern California that
we have something worth while to
show them, most of them will want
to come and see these huge dredges
in operation. believe we should
do everything possible to give pub
licity to the impressiveness of this
big canal construction job and par
ticularly to these huge machines
which are now engaged in building

MIRA REVISION
PLAN GETTING
CONSIDERATION
Present Set-Up Would Be Re-
placed By Granting Charters
To Business
BY MACK JOHNSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright, 1884, BY United Press
WASHINGTON, Dec. UP) -
Permanent replacement of tn e
present NRA setup through federal
incorporation of large industries
and trade associations under char
ters embracing principles of Blue
Eagle codes received serious con-
sideration by high administration
officials today.
The plan is before the industrial
emergency council hea ded by
Donald r. Richberg, director, and
composed of Harold L. Ickes, Secre-
tary of Interior; Frances Perkins,
Secretary of Labor; Chester Davis,
AAA Administrator; Harry A.
Hopkins, ederal Relief Administra-
tor, and Chairman Clary Williams,
of the NIRB.
If approved by the IEC, the pro-
posal will go to President Roosevelt
for submission to Congress.
Under its terms, industries and
trade associations would take out
federal charters containing prin-
ciples of NRA codes such as collec-
tive bargaining, wages and hours.
Administration of the charter S
would be vested with the depart
ment of commerce.
Under the plan industries and
trade groups operating in inter
state commerce would be given the
opportunity to obtain federal char
ters or continue under regular
codes.
1.-The advantages of this plan," a
prominent official told the United
Press, sis that 1t would save large
concerns millions of dollars an
nually in code assessments. The
charter would be elastic enough to
attract large business interests,
which are paying terrific costs to
keep the small chiseler in line"
If there are violations of the char
ter provisions, the plan provides
that the firms incorporation papers
shall be revoked, thus throwing the
concern back into the code cate
CORY.
1.-The plan" the official said,
would permit the little business
firms to govern themselves through
their code authorities or trade asso
ciations.'

Present in the group we're: L. M.
Lawson, American commissioner;
A. Santacruz, Mexican commission
er, with r. G.. Hosea, M. B. Moore
and S. F. Crecelius, members of
the American commission and R. F.

are in Ell Paso and Juarez and both
groups have jurisdiction over bound
airy matters from San Diego to
Brownsville Texas. The visitors
have been in San Diego for the past
few days where they met to discuss
matters pertaining to international
sanitation.
Commissioner Santacruz stated
this morning that his visit to the
valley is in the interests of the
whole border situation. He has been
on this commission for the past IA
years and Is thoroughly conversant
with the matters over which 1t has
Jurisdiction.
"The commission is engaged in
furthering international projects
and we have 1900 men employed on
the lower Rio Grande,' Commits
sioner Lawson said. He was sta
toned at Yuma for many years
and in 1904 made survey of the
Colorado river valley from the site
of Boulder dam to the Gulf of CAL
ifornia. He visited with the dis
trict board of directors here several
months ago to discuss the force
account method of constructing the
All-American canal.

MILK INSTITUTES MEMBERSHIP
DRIVE WILL START NEXT WEEK

a canvass will be made of the busi-
ness districts of these cities to Sc
cure members. The directors have
fixed the membership fee at 25
cents and the first 25 cents covers
dues for the years 1884 and 1885.
On Sunday, which is the day of
the American canal celebra-
ton, high school girls throughout
Imperial Valley, dressed as pictur-
esque and charming dairy maids,
will continue the sales campaign.
They will be scattered all over I'M
perial Valley, at the place of the
celebration at Araz, near Yuma,
and at the barbecue at CaleXico.
The membership committee of the
Milk Institute is offering a cash
prize to the Imperial Valley girl
who wears the best dairy maids
costume, and another prize to the
one who sells the most member
ships. ...
1.-The work of the Milk Institute
of Imperial Valley is going over
big" said Nebel-Thau. I'VE re-
ceive offers of support. from every
side. The people are commencing
to realize how much the dairy in
dustry means to Imperial Valley,
and how much more it could mean
if it were further extended. Within
a few days. Imperial Valley will
be a totally tuberculosis free area,
and we can commence to advertise
that Imperial Valley has the
healthiest COWS in the world. The
directors of the Milk Institute are
already at work to have labora-
tory tests made TO prove that our
milk and our dairy products are
richer in the nourishing vitamins
than milk produced anywhere else.
"That is what we want to pub
lish to the world and this is one
of the principal detectives OF the
Milk Institute. We want the time
to come when Imperial Valley milk,
butter and cheese command a
premium on the market. We only
need a solid Imperial Valley firmly
behind the work of the Milk Insti-
tute to make these things possible.
