Most of the damage was confin-
ed to territory below the interna-
tional border. Levees on the canals
were broken and in places sank to
the ground level. Mexican adobe
structures near Mexicali and fur
ther south were badly shaken. At
Cocopah, a station on the Southern
Pacific line, three persons were in
jured when their adobe home col
lapsed. They were taken to the
Mexicali hospital for treatment.

Absence of serious damage from

ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 81, - Six
air6Ianes and 10 foot parties set
out oday to rescue four men ma
rooned high on Pine Mountain
where their airliner crashed in a
snow and sleet storm Friday night.
n Repeated rescue efforts through
the night were futile. Several par
ties were believed to have pene-
Ftrated far up the slope of the noun
tain and one might have actually
reached the men. But snowdrifts,
. heavy timber, and intense cold
handicapped the ground searchers.
The four men, marooned 2400
feet up the mountain side in sub
zero temperature, were all believed
alive and unhuft. Authorities of
American Air Lines, owners Of the
wrecked passenger plane, feared
they had suffered intensely from
cold and hunger.
The fleet of planes that took off
at dawn circled the mountain side,
guiding the parties on foot closing
IN on all sides. One plane dropped
tar, hard tack, matches, thermoS
bottles of coffee, cigarettes, a
hatchet and sandwiches to the men.
A note instructed them to throw
the tar on the camp fire to make
a thick smoke to guide rescuers.
/ State police led parties that set
out from Hoffmeister and Wilmurt,
five and seven miles from the
mountain. They used horses and
sleighs. There are no roads up the
mountain, only deer paths.

xR1y led by police set out. Other

slopes of the mountain, fighting
their way upward.

Vogue Of Flower Festivals
American Cities in Increasing Numbers Are Copying
Old-World Custom of Displays and Pageants
in Various Blossoming Seasons.

-The flowers that bloom in the
spring, ira la, have nothing to do
with the case"-may be true in light
opera, but not in nearly dozen Ameri-
can cities which now celebrate bios
som festivals; some of them In the
spring and some in other seasons.
This year Washington will mark
the Towering of its beautiful Jap
anese cherry trees with a three-day
fete, featured by military and his
torical parades, festival queen and
other pageantry. 1t is planned to
make the japanese cherry blossom
fete an annual event in the National
Capital.
''In many European and Asiatic
countries flower festivals have been
held for centuries and in some places
the celebrations have a religious sig
nificance," says a bulletin from the
Washington headquarters of the Ma
tional Geographic society. Flower
festivals in this country, however.
are of comparatively recent origin.
"One of the most famous of Amer
lean natural Towering pageants Gas
distinguished from formal flower
shows held indoors) is the Shenan-
doah Apple Blossom festival held in
Winchester, Va, each May. When

and white beauty over Apple Pie

Shenandoah Valley town is host to
thousands during two-day pageant,
ruled by the Apple Blossom queen
and her fair court. This years fes-
tival will be the eleventh annual cele-
bration of the event.
''This spring Charleston, S. c., held
the first of what is expected TO be an
annual AZalea festival. The festival
opened on March IA, a little ahead
of the period when the azaleas of
the famous Magnolia gardens, Mid
dleton Place gardens, and Cypress
gardens, are at the height of their
beauty; but visitors were rewarded
with the unusual spectacle of a COM
bination of the magnificent, late
blooming varieties of camellia japoni-
cas- and the colorful, early blooming
varieties of aZaleas.
"Asheville, n. c., each year greets
the Towering of the beautiful noun
tain rhododendron with a gay festival
in the late spring. The governor
chooses a Rhododendron queen.

ent of some varnishes and paints.
Gainesville, In north-central Florida,
is the center of this new American
industry.
"kentucky's annual Mountain Lau-
rel festival near Pineville, in the
southeastern part of the state, is a
combination garden party, patriotic
celebration, sightseeing excursion
and family reunion. The flowers for
which the celebration is named grow
in profusion in the thickets and hill
sides near Pineyille. A beautiful
trail winds through walls of flower
ing plants TO natural amphitheater
where a pageant is held. In addi-
ton to the dainty pink laurel, the
region is also noted for many flow
ering rhododendrons, whose blossoms
are larger and more garish, ranging
from waxy white through the pinks
to purple. This festival is usually
held early in June.
Pasadena, Calf, boasts the old
est of the nations large flower fes-
tivals-the annual tournament of the
roses. This year the forty-fifth cele-
bration of the classic, held on jan
uary 1, revealed the wide variety of
flowers that bloom in southern Cali

in preparation for this gigantic
fiesta, which each year is built
around different theme. This year

other flowers are used to carry out

The annual East-W West football game
held in the Rose Bowl during the fes-
tiyal attracts nationwide attention
to the celebration.
Another noted Pacific coast flower
festival is the annual Santa Clara
County Fiesta de las Rosas, usually
held in San Jose in May. While
there have been flower festivals in
Santa Clara county ever since San
Jose was Incorporated as a city on

Old Marriage Customs
Retained In Albania

Albania, the Balkan state, is q
quaint mixture of the new and the
old. In place of railways they have
up-to-date air services, but the in
habitants still cling to their pictur-
esque marriage customs. Young
girls are not allowed out Of their
mothers sight until they are be-
trothed, but when they are officially
engaged they may queen 1t for
day or two over all their circle.
Seated on a sort of throne they re-
ceive the homage and gifts of rela-
tons and friends. On the day of the
wedding the bridegroom and the best
man and friends form procession
and call for the bride. They take
her, heavily yelled. to church, while
her parents remain at home. The
girl usually rides on a horse led by
the best man, and to keep up the
pretense of capture the men dis
charge guns as they march along
singing.

Cuticura Healed

"For over two years I suffered
with itching, burning pimples that
broke out over my face and arms.
They were very large, red and hard

and burned so much that I could not
refrain from scratching, and the
pimples turned into white scales. At
night would lie awake for hours.
