MORE POVERTY
IN CALIFORNIA

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13. UP)-
Upton Sinclair harbors no i'll viii.
against President Roosevelt for de-
serting him III his unsuccessful
campaign for governor.
In a copyrighted interview ap-
pearing in the Illustrated Daily
News today, the Democratic nom
inee who lost the election to Gov.
Frank F. Merriam, Republican, said:
"Of course, would have liked
to have had the President IS open
endorsement, but he had more i'm
portant things on his hands.
"He had a bankers convention.
He got what he wanted out of the
bankers, too.
"He left the Republican reac-
tionaries high and dry. That was
more important than endorsing me
for governor of California. -
Sinclair predicted that California
poverty will increase within the
next three months, -whereupon:
"Those people educated by this
campaign will rise, and through in
itiative, referendum and recall end
poverty in California.
Sinclair, who is now working on
book to be entitled, 81, Cover
nor of California, and How Got
Licked,o said he couldn't stop the
EPIC movement, which he fostered,
if he desired.
"The production-for-use idea has
taken hold, and it will eventually
be successful he prophesied.

"I'n eaten you next time!"
howled the Fox as Uncle Wiggily
got away and ran into his bunga-
low with the carrots.
"There isn't going to be any
next time!9 said Uncle Wiggily,
laughing. He took off his rubber
boots, set them in the hall of his
bungalow and gave Nurse Jane
the carrots to make into a short
cake.
The Fox, not having caught the
rabbit, turned back to the woods.

One day about two weeks before
it was time for Thanksgiving, Un-

to him: - Il
Wiggy, 7 wish you would hop
down to the far garden and see if
there are any late carrots you
might bring home. Late carrots are
especially sweet and I can make a
shortcake from them
"What 90 you mean-late car
rots?' asked the rabbit gentleman.
q Are the carrots late for school !"
"Oh, no. said his wife. "But
you are late picking them. I think
you may find some large, yellow
ones in the far garden
Uncle Wiggily had two gardens.
One was near garden, which was
close to where be lived. The other
was called the far garden and was
at the bottom CT the hill on top
Of which the rabbit gentleman had
built his hollow stump bungalow
Hopping to the far garden, Mr.
Longears saw where some late car
rots were growing. There are ear
" carrots as well as late ones and
these were some that had beer
planted later than the others SO
they did not grow large and ripe
until later in the season.
Water All Over
But when Uncle Wiggily tried to
pull them from where they grew
in the ground he found that be-
cause of the rain the carrot patch
was covered with water.
- must hop home and put on
my rubber boots" said Uncle Wig
gily. Wearing his rubber boots he
could easily wade in the wet gar

rying them in his paws, Uncle Wig
gily started to hop back home, up

of the woods. began to chase the
bunny gentleman.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE

One OF the finest Armistice day trib-
utes given in this country yesterday, was
not, IN our opinion, designed as such.
Inc Vienna boys choir, organized near
ly 450 years ago, and at present giving
concerts in New York, was engaged for
the weekly radio program sponsored by
an American firm.
with an artistry requiring someone
we'll versed in music to describe intelli-
gently, the choir presented several num-
bers from the masters.
The program closed with "The Star
Spangled Banner" and therein was the
finest sort of Armistice day tribute
The beautiful voices of the Youngsters.
carrying delightful Teutonic accent,
which did not in the least mar perfect
enunclatlon of the words, sang our ma
tlonal anthem with sincerity and feel
ing that would put many Americans to
shame.
Those who heard the singing could not
help but be impressed by it. Here were
these youngsters, some of them no doubt
sons of Austrian veterans. or otherwise
related to men who fought for Austria.
thousands Of miles from their homeland.
singing the national anthem of nation
which was their country's enemy on the
10th anniversary of the day which spelled
disaster for Austria
They made one think of the Vienna
of music which has given the world some
of its most beloved songs and forget the
Vienna of the politicians and diplomats,
who brought disaster into the world 20
years ago. They made one think of the
beauty of our own national anthem and
all for which it stands, in way that no
military band ever could. One must in
deed be calloused not to be stirred emo
tionally by the combination of beauty
and patriotism, and realization of the
blessings of peace as contrasted with
the horrors of war, which could make
those lovely young voices the voices of
our enemies.
Men high in the affairs of the nation
yesterday voiced a tribute to the men of
the World war. Their words, no matter
how we'll chosen, could never equal the
effectiveness Of these young Austrian
boys. All who heard them were indeed
granted great privilege.
"Black Jack" was confined to his
rooms yesterday by illness, but the COM
mander of the A. E. F. had his biggest
Armistice day thrill Is years ago.

GRAND JURY
ENDS QUIZ IN
BERN : DEATH

LOS ANGELES, Nov. II. U.P)-
With Jean Harlow definitely elm
mated as witness, the county
grand jury was believed today to
have concluded its investigation OF
the suicide of her second husband,
Paul Bern, motion picture produc-
er.
Authorities indicated that what
ever reason she believes actuated
Bern to kill himself in September,
1882. will remain a secret from pub
lie records. A search failed to dis
close the whereabouts of her Or
iginal statement to investigators
who questioned her at the time of
the suicide. Stenographic notes OF
the conversation, however, were
said to be on file.
The grand jury gave no hint
that it intended TO delve into the
spolice invG5tigatiun itself. From
the outset, grand jurors said they
were concerned only with learning
how much money District Attor-
ney Buron Fits spent from his
secret service fund for a "star
chamber session at which more
than 10 witnesses were questioned
at an exclusive hotel. Records OF
Fits office show slightly more
than $700 was spent on the invest
igation which resulted in an off,
cial agreement that no foul play
attended Bern's death.
Statement Missing
Although Miss Harlow's state
ment alone was missing from the
mass Of transcripts turned over to
the grand Jury a resume of her
testimony was supplied by William
w. Widenham, foreman of the 1882
grand jury. 1t was this jury which
instructed Fits to make an invest
lgation.
Widenham said Miss Harlow ex-
planned she was away from home
when her husband shot himself
and that she was puzzled by sui
eide note he signed, reading in part:
"ThiS is the only way to make
good the frightful wrong I have
done you and to wipe out my alb
ject humiliation.
Widenham said the grand jury
was convinced Bern killed himself
and that he and Fits signed let
ter, closing the investigation, and
sent a copy to the platinum haired
actress.
~ have no reason to change my
original opinion in the matter as
set forth in our statement closing
the case,D Wdenham said.
He said stenographic notes of
Miss Harlow's statement is in the
grand jury's secret files but would
not be transcribed unless the pres
ent jury asked for them.

GO TO SEE 1T

Those who have not done so as yet,
should make a visit to the point where
Imperial Valley men are digging the
All-American canal west of Calexico, to
see for themselves the progress that is
being made on the job.
It is one thing 10 read in the papers
that so many men have been sent out on
the work, or that so much progress has
been made 1t is quite another, and much
more satisfying, to see for ones self Just
what is being done.
Visitors will be surprised by the speed
with which the work has progressed and
by the width and depth ef the canal
If they have been supporters of the canal
project throughout the years they will
experience a great deal of satisfaction
by standing down on the floor of the
canal and gazing east and west as far as
the eye can see, along its length. They
will then truly realize that the canal is
in the making.
Those who, for one reason or another,
did not favor canal construction, will
probably be finally converted to the be-
lief that their ideas were wrong and that
the canal is one of the biggest and one Of
the most progressive undertakings in the
history of the valley.
We recommend that the visit be made
on some day other than Sunday. Oper-
ations are not conducted on that day
and to get the best idea of what is be-
ing done it is necessary to watch the
work 1t is somewhat hot out on the
canal Just now and it is extremely dusty
when men and animals are at work, but
these factors are "old stuff to valley
residents and should not be used as eX-
cuses to remain away.
However, even a Sunday visit Is not
without compensation. One can see what
is being done and every valley resident
should be sufficiently interested to take
a look.
Even though at present in what might
be termed the preliminary stages, the
canal construction is highly interesting,
and as the work progresses it will be
even more So You will be ready to take
off your hat to the men who are build
ing the canal when you make the visit.

Committee Recommends s.
Point Program to Avoid
Damage Suits.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 16.-Attempt-
Ing to formulate standards upon which
accountants can rely without fear OF
rendering themselves liable to dam
age suits, the American Institute OF
Accountants Wednesday made public
its first recommendations as to stand
ard practices in accounting.
Developed by committee IN close
touch with the new Securities and
Exchange Commission and the New
York Stock Exchange, the recommen-
dations were:
l. Unrealized profits should not be
credited to income account OF the
corporation either directly or indirect
ly, through the medium Of charging
against such unrealiZed profts
amounts which would ordinarily fail
to be charged against income account.
2. Capital surplus, however Gre
ated, should not be used to relieve the
income account of the current or fu-
ture years which should otherwise tall
to be made there against.
3. Earned surplus of subsidiary
created prior to acquisition does not
IOrm pdTU VI COlloOludOCO CoAASN
surplus of the parent company and
subsidiaries: nor can any dividend
declared out of such surplus properly
be credited to the income account OF
the parent company.
4. While it is in some circum-
stances permissible to show stock OF
corporation held in its own treasury
as an asset. If adequately disclosed.
the dividends on stock so held should
not be treated as a credit to the in
come account Of the company.
S. Notes or accounts receivable
from officers, employees or affiliated
companies must be shown separately
and not included under general
heading such as notes receivable or
accounts receivable.
In addition the institute went on
record as recommending that when
stock is used to purchase property and
later the stock is sold for cash, the
amount received from the sales should
not be treated as surplus.

JAMES DUNN HAS|KAY FRANCIS IS. FEATURED PARTLOvELY STAR 0F' | CURRENT DRAMA COL ORFUL DRAMA

Colorful, different in it's back ground and import from the usual run of romances, Storm at Day break which opens tonight at the Capitol Theatre, has the effect of a cool and refreshing breeze. We have had such a surfeit of Amer ican drawing room tales, that this story laid in the back country of Hungary during the World War comes as a pleasant and invigor- ating surprise.
 The love story is particularly fascinating one, depicting the strug- gle of a woman between loyalty to her husband, old enough to be her father, and love for dashing young cavalry officer. All the in- gradients of powerful drama are here, intrigue, jealousy, intense love and bitter hate. The colorful for eign settings, the rapid-fire action, and the thrilling climax in which a man drives himself to death over an embankment, all contribute to make this a picture which forces the spectator to sit up and take notice.
 Walter Huston Superb
 No little of the distinction of Storm at Daybreak" is due to its flawless acting. Kay Francis as the woman torn between loyalty and devotion plays her role with a pas- sionate ardor Nils Asther does the best work of his career as the cav airy officer who is forced to turn on his best friend, and Walter Huston, as the husband, has diff ficult role which he carries to su- perb heights in his final stirring scene of self-sacrifice.
 Others in the fine cast who give outstanding performances are Phil lips Holmes, Louise Closer Hale, Eugene Palette and Jean Parker.
