hour he took his first step TO fame by
disarming and arresting the notorious
bad man, Ben Thompson, a feat of
cool courage which has few equals In
border history.
Such exploits as these had some
thing to do with his being made as

Kan, In 1916, and so great was his
reputation as dead shot and an Off

A Forgotten Patriot

MOST Americans are conscious of

not one In hundred realizes the
greater debt to Francisco Vigo, nm
Italian. Yet II 1t had not been for
him. the chances are that George Rog
ers Clark could not have won the Old
Northwest for the American flag dur
ing the Revolution, nor have held It
after he had won 1t.
Vigo was born In Mondovi. Pied
montese town, In 1744. In his youth
he went to Spain, became muleteer
In the Spanish army, saw service In
Cuba, drifted to New Orleans, Joined
the Spanish militia there and became

Of Upper Louisiana with headquarters

than $4,000. which he had advanced
to Clark.
The claim was passed on to the new
federal government and 1t was sus-

endorsement of such men as Clark,

He did not recover consciousness

fractured. His left arm was broken

and Fascism. Sinclair, it was re
ported, baked at including the word
Socialism, since he was a Socialist
until this year. That was one i'm
portant issue faced today.
Another revolved around the sales
tax. Party leaders wanted to elm
mate only foodstuffs, while Sinclair
supporters insisted the entire tax
should be abolished in favor OF a
stiff income tax.
1t was understood a plank would
be included permitting firms, unable
to pay cash, to pay their taxes in
commodities, to be distributed to
the needy.
On the more peaceful Republican
side, Fred E. Stewart, member of
the state board of equalization, was
most prominently mentioned for
chairmanship of the convention.
Candidates in the minor parties
were topped by Raymond l.. Haight,
progressive and Commonwealth
candidate for governor, who was be-
lieved to have no fellow delegates to
attend his one man convention.
Primary nominees automatically
were delegates to the state conven-
ticns. In contests where a party
failed to win a nomination, substi-
tute delegates were appointed by the
state central committee and county
committees.

Boy Gangs Are

Gangs of boys are still occupying
the attention of the county proba-

Mexican gang, states E. A. Nance,
county probation officer.
A gang of boys has been commit
ting petty thievery in the Calexico
district, and those in Calexico have
been apprehended, although those
who have gone to Mexicali are still
at large.
1t is the aim of the probation Of
flee, states Nance, to attempt to
straighten out these boys rather
than punish them. In many instan-
ces the individuals in normal cir
cumstances and with ordinary COM
panionship would be all right, but
in a gang, if one member suggests
some activity the rest are apt to fall
in line with it when they would ne
yer think of such thing independ-
emily.
Some of the offenders have been
placed in the detention home and

families, the parents have come i'm

DONATED BY
NON TURKS

ISTANBUL, Sept. 20. W.P)-Wings
for the Turkish fatherland are be-
ing provided N a unique manner.
The non-Turk communities have
decided to show their devotion to
the Kemalist homeland by donat-
ing airplanes to the nation S air
force.
An Armenian committee has
been formed to collect subscriptions
The first Armenian-eiven airplane,
which goes into the sky, will mark
the difference between the Turkey
of today and the Turkey of the
Armenian deportations. 1t will be
a signal of the era of reconcilia-
ton.
The Jews are another large nom
Turkish community which has re-
solved to help air defense in the
same way. They think that this
will assist in dissipating the Turk
ish complaint that they are not
properly assimilated to Turkish cul-
ture and live a life apart, which
was alleged as one Of the causes of
a recent anti-Semitic wave in
Thrace. Another community to come
in as airplane-providers are the
Greeks of Istanbul.
In this way the strength of the
Turkish air force has been brought
up to about 200 and the material
is kept up to date.

INDIANOLA, Ia, Sept, 20. ,U.P)
-Echoing the fantasy of Edgar Al
len Poe's BLACK Cat" the strange
tale of black cat walled up be-
tween the brick walls of a house
here, was revealed when the house
was razed
The cat disappeared 65 years
ago. 1t was the pet of Ina, daugh-
ter of w. L. Kircher. then owner
of the house.
Old residents swear that every
Halloween, the date Of its disap-
pearance the cat set up fright
full bowling. No one ever was able
to trace the source Of the noise.
A legend is fast taking root here
now that the cat remained alive in
the wall and howled once each
year in the hope of attracting its
little mistress.
When discovered the cat appear
ed to be perfectly preserved.

DUTCH ATTEMPT
TO STREAMLINE
ALL WINDMILLS

AMSTERDAM, Sept. 20. U.P)-
When the number Of windmills be-
gan diminishing rapidly in Holland
during the last 25 years, DR.. P. G.
van Tienhoven. of Amsterdam,
formed a society called 1.-The Hol-
land Windmill" for the preserva-
ton of the Dutch windmill.
At first this society was not
very successful. Then a A. H.
Decker, Of Leiden, thought of max
ing the old fashioned windmill
more efficient by streamlining. He
invented a stream lined wing,
which is plated with aluminium or
zinc. All sharp corners are round
ed.
The result has been astonishing.
Before, the mills needed a fairly
strong wind to make the wings go
round and when the wind dropped
they had to fit on the "sails, - TO
make the wings catch the wind. As
soon as the wind dropped more the
mill came to standstill and had
to wait for more wind.
Now the streamlined wings
catch the wind so easily that the
mills that have them can work
practically under all conditions. AS
windmills in Holland are used not
only to grind corn, but also TO
keep the water in the small canals
at a certain level. the streamlining
solved a problem.
