Lead Poisoning

Other injurious effects included
lead poisoning of diving ducks.
Year after year shot accumulated on
the bottom of heavily baited areas
and birds picked up shot pellets
for grit or mistook shot for seed.
Batting was also opposed by some
on the grounds that it permitted an
undesirable commercialization OF
wild fowl and that it encouraged a
disregard of bag limits and other
game law regulations on areas
where batting resulted in large con-
centrations of the birds. There was
evidence, too, says the Biological
Survey, to indicate that batting ma
terially aided and encouraged the
game bootlegger.

hunting on baited premises.
Natural Food Plentiful


The investigators in 1898 report
ed as much natural food today per
bird as there ever was" but they
found that batting on a shooting
area often attracted the birds away
from a good supply of natural food
and held them in areas that were
not naturally adapted for wintering
waterfowl. To some extent the urge
to migrate was lost. and the birds,
thus delayed in their flight, often
suffered from cold and starvation.

or ten days of the close of the gun

Most serious of the effects of bait
in was the increase of the total
number of birds killed by hunters.

connection with live decoys, BAT
teries, and scull boats Bait. the in
vestigators reported, quickly tanned
the birds, and when a large number

to see the ducks alight within

NICE ADVISES

officer, stated today that he is In

Importance to all who are engaged
in combating slIbversive influences
in the country This report states
in part:
The Utopian society is preparing
TO invade Imperial Valley. They
expect to make Holtyille their head
quarters and have advance agents
down there now who claim they
have 5000 ready to join the society,
when they are ready to start
holding meetings and cycle work
they will hold open meetings and
invite officials to attend. They con-
duct their meetings in such a way
as to make it rather difficult for the
officials to find responsible grounds
or interfering. 1t all looks law
abiding, but Utopia is more sub
versive than Communism"
Considerable information has
come to me from time to time con-
cerning this 5o-called society in
Guiding photostatic copies of Utopian
lectures and cycle work.
"Other authentic information is
that Communists of outstanding
ability as propagandists and or
ganizers have been assigned to the
duty of assisting in the organiza-
ton and carrying on the activities
of the Utopian society; that this
society is sponsored by Communists
purely Tor the purpose of appealing
to the unSuspecting masses through
the Utopian dream, and thereby
cause the people gradually to be-
come imbued with ideas of social
ism and communism where they
might not otherwise be influenced.
This movement should be dis
couraged in every possible way, by
beginning now to let the people OF
Imperial Valley know what is con-
templated. and what the real pur-
poses of the Utopian society are
The doctrines of Utopia contemplate
an entire change Of our economic
Ind social system to conform pre-
cisely with the principles Of Com

Ben Hulse, state senator from this
county cooperated with the irTiga-
ton district conferees in every pos
sible way, Hewes said.
1T now appears" Hewes said
that there is an excellent oppor-
tunity for the district to work out
a deal whereby the old lawsuits of
the Southern Pacific company now
pending against the district regard
ing flooding in the Salton Sea area
might not only be dismissed but also
that the district will be able to ac-
quire, through the Biological Sur
vey the entire area below the 230-
contour now held by the Southern
Pacific around the Salton Sea-"
Importance Stressed
IF this is possible it will con-
summate the program that the board
is working on with other individual
land owners in that area to pre-
serve for all time the Salton Sea
sink as a drainage basin for lands
to be served by the All-Americar

This is of equal Importance to a

The litigation brought by the rail-
road company against the district

Editor Satisfied
Victim OF Troir,
Was His Brother

From information furnished him
by The Press, Don B. Robb, editor
and publisher of the Gridley Daily
Globe, at Gridley, Calf, has be-
come convinced that Walter B.
Robb, killed by a train here ON
March 81, was his brother, whom
he had not seen since boyhood.
Walter Robb had told ,icquaint-
ances here that he came of a fam
lily of printers and had been a
printer himself. The Gridley pub
Usher states that his brother had
worked with him and another
brother in the printing business
and later turned to mining.
He had followed this work
through various parts of the west
and seldom communicated with his
family. Efforts of the editor to
contact his brother over a long
period of years were not successful.
He learned on one occasion that
the brother had been in mine ac-
cident and had lost the thumb from
his left hand, the victim of the
local accident being similarly dis
figured.
The Gridley publisher has COM
municated with Frank Rainey, dep
uty coroner, who has given him ad-
oitional information regarding the
local tragedy Robb was buried
here last week in Evergreen ceme-
terry. labor unions having taken
charge of the body.

the nation wide strike Friday.

charge of distributing handbills
without a permit.
Members of the police cred -
squad apprehended Miss Adams as
she was distributing handbills on
the local junior college campus.
They broke through a crowd of
students to seize the coed by force.
Officers said she screamed and
fought with feet and fists before
they overpowered her. They quot
ed her as saying she was a men,
ber of the Young Communist
League.
The two Pasadena co-eds plead
ed not guilty when arraigned in a
courtroom packed with FELLOWSHIP

said they took from the girls. The
pamphlets contained such head
lines as "Down with the ROTC,' -
"No Discrimination Against Stu

ter of the student strike.
He was expected to confer with
Celeste Strack, blonde San Diego
coed leader of the strike faction.
This group defied university au-
thorities by distributing handbills
despite warnings. Miss Strack said

of the opposition of other student
groups.
One rival organization "The Pa
triots," held a mass meeting to-
day under faculty supervision in an
effort to dissuade strike leaders
from carrying out their plans. The
assembly was orderly.

the proposition before it at that

board of supervisors told the irri-
cation board that the supervisors
had authorized the expenditure of
$500 by the board of trade with
