WORKERS IN JEWISH
DRIVE REPORT S2,5OO
Efforts Will Be Redoubled Dur
ing Rest of Campaign
Here.

With the first week of the cam
paign over and $4,000 collected toward
the goal of S35 900, workers in the
United Jewish Appeal are redoubling
their efforts, following a drive rally
yesterday al the Jewish Community
Center.
Campaign leaders are far from dis
couraged at the results of the drive
thus far. ISidore HerShfield, CO.
chairman, told the workers yesterday
that early collections indicate con-
trlbutorS are giving more this year
than in the 1888 campaign He
pointed out that the canvass was slow
IN getting started and that this week
end should see the funds increase.
Edmund I. Kaufman. the other
drive chairman, also expressed salts
faction with the progress of the
appeal He told the workers it is i'm
perative that Washington fill its en-
tire quota this year because condi-
tions affecting the Jews of Europe
are worse. He said the $3000,000 be-
ing raised throughout the United
States this year in the national united
Jewish appeal was urgently needed to
help save thousands of German Jew
ish refugees and Eastern European
Jews from starvation and utter desti-
tuition.
Another meeting Of drive workers
has been called for tomorrow at the
Jewish Center

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
CLAM GULL

After Uncle Wiggily had taken
his own and many other animal
children for a ride on the door
boat at the seashore, the little bum
nies did not seem to get into so
much trouble, at least for a time.
So Mr.. Longears had chance to
go adventuring.
He started to do this one bright,
sunny morning when the tide was
low on the beach so that many
clans, as well as other animals
from the sea, were washed up in
plain sight. There was star fish,
but he did not twinkle. Perhaps
he would at night. There was
fiddler crab, with one claw much
larger than the other, and when
Uncle Wiggily came hopping along
the crab held his big claw out in
front of him ready to pinch. But
there was no need to do this as
Uncle Wiggily wouldn't harm the
crab
''He does look just like fiddler,
holding his big claw the way he
does laughed the rabbit gentle
man as he hoped on. but what

ty. He pinched her paw
"No clans can pinch my beak! -
laughed the gull bird.
''Why not?" asked the bunny
gentleman, thinking this was an
adventure.
Because 1 break the clam IS
shell before I try to eat him. was
the answer. 81 smash the hard
shell and then I pick out the
meat"
Uncle Wiggily Curious
"How do you do it?" asked I'm
Gle Wiggily. "Your beak doesn't
seem strong enough to crush the
shell of hard clam. And with
your webbed feet, which have no
claws like those of a hawk, don't
see how you can tear the shell
apart. -
~ don't do it in either of those
ways answered the gull. "1f
you wait a moment III show
"I'd like to see it,, said Mr..
Longears. 81 suppose it will be all
right for me to sit here and watch
you,o he went on. "You don It
know of any Bad Chaps like the
Fox. the Wolf or the Bob Cat,
around here, do you?' he asked,
anxiously.
''No, not exactly the gull re-
piled. "Of course we have a Sea
PusS here. but that's not danger
Gus if you keep away. And there
may be a Sea Lion or two. But
I'll watch out that they don It
harm you.''
"Thank you," said Uncle Wig
gily. "And now I should like to
see how you can break open hard
clam and eat him out of his shell. -
Watch and you shall see, said
the gull.
Crack, Went the Clam
With that the seabird opened his
beak wide and in it picked up a
clam about as large as your fist.
The gull picked the clam up as a
chicken picks up a chunk OF bread.
Then, as the rabbit watched, the
gull, still holding the clam in its
beak, took a little run along the
beach to get a start. A moment
! later it flew into the air on its
strong wings. Reaching a height
of about 30 feet, the gull suddenly
opened his beak and let the clam
drop to the hard sand.
"Crackl" the hard shell of the
clam broke open. Then the gull
flew down and, with its hooked
beak, began pulling out the sweet,
juicy meat inside the two broken
shells. 1t was easy for him to do
this
off the clam doesn't crack open
after 1 drop it once, I take it up
and drop it again." said the gull,
eating away. Mr.. Longears thought
it was very clever of the clam gull.
And if the poll parrot doesn't chew
on a firecracker and blow up the
canary's umbrella, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and the help
ing gull.

BOMBING PLOT
INVESTIGATED
BY JAPANESE

TOKYO, July II. W.P)-A whole
sale bombing plot directed against
several high Japanese officials was
investigated by police today.
Theft of explosives from collier
les in the Nogata district led to ex-
posure of the asserted plot, Kuk-
uoka police said.
They said the bombs were to
have been planted in the homes
of Prince Kimmochi Sainji, aged
adviser to the emperor; Count
Shinken Maxine, Lord Keeper OF
the privy seal, and others high in
the empires affairs.
Several suspects were taken into
custody while authorities investi-
gated the officials homes which
were to have been bombed. Police
refused to reveal details of the
alleged plot.

a lot of clans are washed up out
of the ocean today!" said Mr..
Longears. Il never saw so many"
Neither did I, but am glad to
see them" spoke a voice back of
the bunny. At first he thought it
was one Of the Bad Chaps who
might have followed him to the
seashore. But it was only a brown
and white gull, sort of seaside
duck, with webbed feet for swim
ming but with sharper yellow
beak than any duck has. The
gull IS beak was somewhat pointed
and hooked so it could tear apart
pieces Of meat or other things it
might find to eat. Barnyard ducks
don't need 10 do this, as Uncle
Wiggily we'll knew.
Lots of CLANS
"Why are you glad there are so
many clans on the beach this
morning, my friend?" Mr.. Long
ears asked the gull.
Because / will have plenty Of
clans to eat,' the gull answered
with a jolly sort of laughing cry.
- DO you mean to tell me-" asked
the rabbit. ''that you can eat such
a hard thing as a clam, inside its
shell, which is like two pieces of
stone?p
Certainly can." answered the
gull.
II don't see hoW,p went on I'm
Gle Wiggily. OF course l know that
sometimes clans open their shells,

stick your beak in while the clam
had his shells open and so get a
bite Of him. But he might close
his shells on your beak the way a

KEEP POWER
IN AUSTRIA
BY ROBERT II. BEST

United Press stan correspondent
VIENNA, July II. = President
Wilhelm Miklas today approved
reorganization cabinet, formed by
Chancellor Engelbert Dollfuss. 1t
was the first move in a campaign
of stern suppression of Nazis who
have terrified the country with
bombings.
Dollfuss retains the chancellor
ship and vests in himself personal
authority as commander in chief
of all armed forces, military and
police.
Annihilation of terrorists is said
to be his immediate aim. 1t was
reported he soon would offer i'm
munity to anyone who surrenders
explosives after certain date, and
would prescribe the death penalty
for anyone possessing explosives
afterward
1t is expected the campaign will
get into full swing July Is, when
certain new phases of the Fascist
constitution become effective.
OF major significance III the shift
of authority was the material
strengthening of the powerful FaS-
cist militia, the heimwehr of Prince
Ernst Rudiger Starhemberg.
The post of minister of justice
was taken from its interim holder
Minister of Education Kurt Schu-
schniff, and given to Egon Berg
erwaldenegg. He is state command
er of the heimwehr in Styria. He
is also a brother of one of STAR
hemberg's most important staff
officers.
Dollfuss, in addition to assuming
specific personal sway over the
armed forces, retains the posts Of
foreign affairs, public security,
national defense and agriculture
for the moment.

CAN you TAKE 1T?

Imperial Valley faced new water
problem yesterday and probably will to-
day, and we don't mean in connection
with this aqua pura that is being shipped
in here because the rain gods forgot to
do their stuff last winter and spring.
This particular water problem to
which we refer is the one that everyone
experiences to keep healthy, hap
py and good-natured with streams of
water running down the body fore and
aft as the sailors say.
1t was hot yesterday and probably will
be today and for few more days. When
the thermometer gets up to 120 it is
enough to make one sizZle, but the point
is right there-one shouldn't sizzle. Ger
tainly one should not sizzle mentally.
Getting all hot and bothered about the
weather is about the surest way to let
the weather put you down and out.
Each individual has his or her own
rules for getting by to the best possl-
BILE advantage during the valleys sum-
mer weather. 1t is therefor unwiSe to
put down any hard and fast rules to be
observed and we are too wise (also too
hot) to attempt it here.
We do know what helped US yester-
day. We saw a man old enough to be
our grandfather, stepping along as
InOugn II were Iulu-NiuIeI. Trying W
follow his example, we were surprised
to find that we could do it too, although
we had been dragging the anchor" We
kept the pace for 10 steps.
Another sure way to make the heat
seem less, and it has been explained here
previously, is to pick out tourist and
watch him or her. They just can't take
it, to use little more slang, and it
makes the valleyite feel he is tough when
he sees the uncomfortableness of the Wis
itor.
Perhaps the chamber of commerce or
the city dads should make it a point
during the summer to have plenty of
tourists come in here so that we can keep
cool. That is, providing anyone wants to
keep cool.
And now having got this far, we are
going to sit back for while and try to
figure out some real, sane and easy way
to practice what we have here tried to
preach.
If there is any worse housekeeper than
the summer bachelor it is two summer
bachelors.
A real benefactor would be fellow
who could hook up the stock market to
the Thermometer right now.

Gets $40 Damages
For Heart Balm

LOS ANGELES, July II. (U.R) -
Alice M. Lamont, actress, today
held only a $40 verdict over Fred
erick M. Stimson, insurance man,
in a SIS, 1000 heart balm suit because
California's three day marriage law
obviously is inteded for either par
ty to change his mind at the last
minute.
Superior Judge Kenny reached
that decision yesterday in a novel
Interpretation of what constitutes
"jilting"
The jurist agreed that Miss La
Mont obviously had been Tilted,
since Stimson took out and later
cancelled an intention to wed no
tice.
Nevertheless, it would be incon-
sistent to provide a law allowing
man to change his mind, and
then level damages against him for
having done SO, Judge Kenny de-
clared.

WASHINGTON, July 1l.-Puerto
Rican leaders are having big job
trying to put the President in
right with the islanders for a re-
mark he made on his recent visit
there.
The island has been seeking
500, 100000 loan 10 finance a five
year plan for economic and social
rehabilitation. Political leaders
hoped the President would promise
the money. Instead he said with
smile:
y have been trying TO sell Puerto
Rico in Washington for months"
The translator had hard time
with American idiom.
The result was that it was first
whispered and then shouted around
that the President was actually trv-
ing to sell the island. There is still
some confusion down there about
the matter.

plans were said to have been COM
pleted for dispatch of warships in
European waters to German ports in
event evacuation of Americans be-
cause of civil war was necessary.
High navy officers in the depart
ment are the most cagey execu-
t7es in Washington. Some OF them
have a sort of spy mania. They do
considerable interoffice telephonilIg
with higher ups before giving out
any requested information, no mat

BOY SCOUTS INDICATED

This column and newspapers in gem
eral throughout the country, have fire.
quently printed statements to the effect
that Boy Scouts do not get into serious
trouble with the law, in emphasizing the
Scout training as one of the finest roads
to good citizenship.
All friends of the Boy Scout move
ment were therefor terribly distressed
few days ago when an honor Scout in
Fresno was accused of a most terrible
crime, in which woman, the mother of
his playmates, had been stabbed, beaten
and assaulted.
Recovering consciousness after several
days, the woman, though unable to talk,
wrote the name of the IA year old honor
Scout as her attacker
The boys reputation was of the high
est, yet the law demanded that he be
taken into custody and questioned. On
the most sacred thing he knew-his Boy
Scout oath-he declared to the officers
that he was absolutely innocent of the
terrible crime of which he was accused.
A close check-up of all the evidence
tending to incrlminate him caused it to
tall flat. He has been released from sur
Velllance at the lnStlgatlon of the pros
ecuting attorney, following a consulta
ton with physicians.
The doctors declared that the injuries
the woman suffered have affected her
mentality to the point where she con-
fused a minor and boyish dispute be-
tween her son and the accused boy,
which happened two years ago, with the
terrible crime of which she was the vic
tim.
1t is extremely gratifying to all that
mere boy has been cleared of guilt 1t
is even more gratifying to all Scouts and
friends of Scouts that the record of the
organization has been kept clear. The
strength which this wrongfully accused
boy derived from the things Scouting
had taught him, should be an inspiration
to all Scouts and to all boys eligible for
Scouting, to make the fullest use of
the sound training in fundamentals it
has to offer.
