Q. am pretty good cook, but
one thing I can't seem to get is
crusty fried potatoes; not French,
but old-fashioned fried potatoes.
Mine get brown but are limp when
they get to the table. What is
wrong?
Mrs. r. p. O'C.
A. The secret of frying potatoes
with crisp, golden brown edges Is a
very simple one. If possible use an
old-fashioned iron spider or frying
pan. Slice the cooked potatoes, put
small bit of suet in pan and heat;
add plenty of butter and when pip
ing hot put in the sliced potatoes.
Do this with some regularity and
without overcrowding. Fry fairly
slowly, with no lid on the pan!
When under layer is brown, turn
with spatula, and when second lay
er Is brown, serve at once. Limp
ness and sogginess are caused by
te accumulation Of steam In the pan
as when covered or overcrowded;
also by allowing the potatoes to
stand after the finishing point has
been reached.

NONE INJURED

"A tri-motored airplane of the Los

The plane practically demolished

The ship struck a barn in its

was no fire.
The pilot, P. w. Kirlin, told

Article Reveals

Here Not NetU Idea

An interesting clipping was re-
ceived at chamber of commerce
headquarters yesterday, consisting
of an article from the Monroe,
Wash, Monitor by Frank Parker
Stockbridge, a syndicate column
writer.
For some reason, Stockbridge's
fancy carries him back to 20 years
ago and to El Centro, because he
states, Twenty odd years ago, I
proposed a plan for making the
guests in the first hotel built at
Ell Centro Calf, comfortable. Ell
Centro is in Imperial Valley, Sc feet
below sea level, and the thermomet-
er goes up above 100 degrees and
stays there. My scheme was to put
in an artificial ice plant and cir
culate ice-water through pipes, like
a steam-heating system, in every
bedroom.
Recently I saw in New York
paper that not only the Barbara
Worth hotel in Ell Centro but many
other hotels throughout the country
are installing air-conditioning syS-
TENS in their guest rooms. So are
hundreds Of small town movie the

Indications are that the 1895

the dates may be little late in

date gardens this year have been
given exceptional care, and there

Electrical Workers Walk Out
Tying Up Industry Over An
Extensive Area
By HENRY Benz HENSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

TOLEDO, O., June 5. - Electri-
cal workers of Toledo Edison COM
pany walked out today in strike
which threatened to paralyZe in
dustry and inconvenience residents
of % cities and towns in three
states.
Members of the International
Brotherhood of Electric Workers,
who demand a 20 per cent increase
in wages which the company has
refused to grant, Immediately be-
gan shutting down the huge gener-
ators which supply light for house
holders and power for huge indus
trial plants.
Only hospitals, newspapers and
water plants will continue to re-
ceive electric current when the
strike becomes completely effective.
Thousands of workers in the
highly-industrialized Toledo area
were faced with loss of their jobs
through shutdown of factories and
business establishments relying on
electricity for power.
The strike came after a night
long effort on the part of company
officials and federal mediators to
reach a truce which would permit
further negotiations on the union
demands.
Toledo Edison company sends its
electric current to II cities in Ohio,
including Toledo, three cities in
Michigan and two in Indiana. 1t
employs approximately $50 workers.
The $2,O0O,000 Libby Glass Man
ufacturing company was the first
major industrial concern to feel
the effect of the strike. 1t closed
its huge plant in anticipation of the
Walkout, and laid off 1000 workers.
The power tie-up struck homes,
factories and offices alike. House
wives awoke to find their electric
stoves useless. Husbands were faced
with the prospect of walking to
work. Thousands of factory wheels,
powered by giant electric motors,
were stilled.

Sterrett feels that many of these
men might have had good excuses
for not accepting this work and for
this reason their explanations will
be received and weighed. About 80
clients from the Holtville area ac-

not included in the drastic orders
issued yesterday.
Sterrett will meet with the Braw-

Sterrett stressed the fact that no

only following out the statements
made several weeks ago that clients
who refused private employment
when offered by responsible agencies
would be dropped from the relief

Copyright, 1885, BY United Press
PARIS, June 5. - Pierre Laval,
swarthy, imperturbable independent
senator and veteran of politics, ac-
cepted tentatively today mandate
to form a cabinet and liquidate the
financial crisis.
Reluctantly, after several refus-
ais, he agreed to try to form gov
ernment after Jean Jeanneney,
president of the senate refused.
President Albert Lebrun, for the
moment the central figure in a
situation now grown urgent, began
consultations at 8 a. m. in search
for a premier.
Jeanneney, first to be consulted,
refused promptly. Seventy-on in
i'll health, he had been expected to
decline the task.
Laval was summoned at once.
Two governments have fallen
within a week. A stubborn, sus-
picious chamber of deputies has
hurled to defeat first Pierre Etienne
Flandin, then Fernand Bouisson
rather than give them emergency
powers to deal with the financial
problems.
Laval refused last night to act,
and recommended that BouiSson re-
form a cabinet BouiSson, angry
over his defeat by 264 to 262 votes
on his demand for emergency pow
ers, declined to serve again.
Lebrun appealed earnestly to La
val this morning. The crisis, he
said, threatened to be long one
with dangerous repercussions to
French finances and prestige.
Laval agreed to try but reserved
final acceptance until he consult
ed party leaders.

KANSAS CITY
NENACED BY
TWO FLOODS

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 5. U.R
The crests of two great floods,
one swelling down the fertile valley
of the KaW river through Kansas,
the other coming down the Missouri
from the north, converged upon
Kansas City today.
The KaW empties into the Mis-
souri, here, and army engineers fear
that if both flood tides reach here
at approximately the same time
flood conditions such as have not
occurred in 25 years will result.
The KaW was estimated to be
carrying 100000 cubic feet of water
a second when it reached its crest
at Wamego last night. The crest
of the Missouri, south of Rulo,
Neb., carried about 10000 cubic
feet. Both were about 100 miles
from the junction here.
All possible precautions against
both property damage and loss of
life are being taken.
Materials for strengthening leveeS
and erecting auxiliary dikes were
stored in the central industrial dis
trict where heaviest damage will
occur if the waters break through.
A force of 5000 men was recruited
and held ready for duty under
supervision OF army engineers.
Erection of 6-foot auxiliary levee,
which blocked Santa Fe tracks but
may hold back considerable high
water, was started at one danger
