Brought Here On
Robbery Charge

Following their arrest in San
Pedro, Harold Nall, %, and Lee
Spiers, %, were brought back to the
county Jail by r. w. Ware, sheriff,
and T. NJ. Sharp, chief criminal
deputy, yesterday, for investigation
into the alleged robbery of C. Veale,
a service station operator near Side
winder.
It is said that the two men came
here last week to secure an auto
mobile which had been left at the
Sidewinder station. After paying
Veale the $12 repair bill, the two
men are said to have asked him to
ride with them a short way down
the highway to see if the car was
in good condition.
Without warning, it is reported,
Veale was slugged by one of the
men and knocked unconscious after
which he was relieved of the money
previously paid. The men then re-
turned to San Pedro. A John Doe
warrafit was secured on the COM
plant of Veale after the attack and
robbery and Ware and Sharp went
to San Pedro, where with the CO.
operation of police in that city the
men were apprehended.

FIVE ESCAPE: [:
FROM PRISON

FRANKFORT, KY, May 13. U.P)
Patrols OF state police and posses
of 20 counties drew a Gordon
around the capital today in the
hope of trapping five convicts who
raided the Frankfort prison arsenal
for machine guns last night and
escaped.
The men, all TRUSTEES, overpoWer-
ed and trussed three guards and
four TRUSTEES and gained freedom
through an outer gate with keys
taken from the guards. A confeder-
ate awaited them outside with a
motor car.
Jess Rogers, deputy warden, said
each of the five was armed with a
revolver, apparently smuggled into
the prison. They took four ma
chine guns from the institution IS
armory before leaving.
Three of the escaped men were
serving life sentences for murder.
They are James Brown, Newport,
KY, who killed a guard in 1881
escape; Frank C. Mcdaniel, Clay
county, who killed a police judge,
and Eddie Robinson, Laurel county.
Two others, Eddie Sons, Newport,
and James Morris, Henry county,

secretary of the California Future
Farmers of America. He was defeat

In the judging contests, El Cen

CentrapS hopes of taking a high
place in the meet were well-found-

About 445 boys representing high

RUSH ACTION

Night Sessions Expected To Be

SOLONS' PAY STOPS MAY q
Proposal On State Automobile
Tax Meets Strong Opposition
In Assembly

SACRAMENTO, May 13. - Nov
ing into the final stretch of their
51st session, California IS legislators
prepared today for the start of in
tensive fights on taxation, revenue,
budget, unemployment and other
important measures which hardly
were touched during the first 10
weeks of the spring meetings.
A general desire to clear the cal
endars and go home by June /,
spurred senate and assembly leaders
to push for action on controversial
bills designed to balance the bud
get, retain the state IS credit and
solve unemployment problems.
Legislative pay will stop May %.
Night and weekend sessions will be
necessary for the handling of hun
dreds of bills that have piled up
during weeks of productive ar
gument.
The joint revenue and taxation
committee OF ID hoped to conclude
It's work today by agreeing on a
method of raising $130,000,000 in
new revenue for budget and un-
employment relief purposes. AL
ready, members have approved nine
tax plans which would produce an
estimated $1O9,OO0,OOO. They need
approximately $20,000,000 more be-
fore they will submit their recon-
mendations to the two houses.
Receipt of the steering commit
tee IS suggested program will pre-
cipitate the major battles OF the
session, observers believed. There
is a wide difference of opinion on
estimated revenue and on some OF
the tax plans proposed by the
committee.
=. Food Exempt from Tax
AsSemblynan Ford Chatters, sup
ported by the EPIC group, will COM
bat efforts to reduce the contem-
plated income tax rate from one
third the federal levy, as voted by
the assembly, to one-fifth as rec
commended by the steering group.
A compromise of one-fourth may
break the impending deadlock on
that issue.
Strong opposition to a state tax
on automobiles, in lieu of the pres
ent county and city property taxes
on vehicles, has developed in the
assembly. William Moseley Jones,
Democratic floor leader, and others
protest it would be nothing short OF
an ad valorem tax limited to spe-
cific type of property.
Exemption of food from the sales
tax seemed almost assured, but
Governor Merriam and numerous
legislators believed the joint COM
mittee was "away off, in its es-
innate that 3 per cent tax with
food exempted would increase rev.
enue by $35, 100000 biennium.
Advocates of one per cent gross
receipts tax as substitute for the
sales and other forms of taxation
may have their inning Wednesday
when this question will be fought
as a special order of business.

Why, then, we wonder, Is most of our carbohydrate food supplied by nature combined with cellulosc ? And what physiologist finds that the fiber in vegetables and fruits interferes with the digestion o1 starches? We cannot ignore the part this "quite ipdigestible" ma- terial plays in stimulating peristal- sis, which is no less essential for normal digestion than is the dis. solving of starches.
 Items specifically excluded from 'the smooth diet" are cantaloupe and other melons, shredded wheat biscuts and other coarse breakfast foods, whole wheat bread. bran, selads as a rule. celery, tomatoes, pineapple. and many of the green vegetables and raw fruits. The pa tient must avoid coarse foods with fiber, skins, seeds or gristle, and raisins, nuts and jams full of seeds, Dr Alvarez adds that he is well acquainted with the virtues of q rough diet and often prescribes 1t for the constipated and the obese patient. So we can't call him q crank with one idea.
 Up to the time Dr Alvarez pub lished this book 1t was 6 widely ac- cepted idea that any rough food would aggrevate stomach ulcer or duodenal ulcer. Then Dr Scale Harris began treating such cases with high vitamin diet, discard ing the then conventional Sippy or Lenhartz diet (milk and cream) ). Dr Harris gave patients three or four days bed rest without food or even water by mouth, then gave them q mixture of milk, cream and orange juice! His patients got along well with this incompatible mixture. After few days of this unorthodox diet the patients were given also whole wheat bread, and as though to give the laugh to the old timers in medicine the patients thrived extraordinarily on the whole wheat bread, orange juice, milk and cream. To-day physicians everywhere employ the diet sug- gested by Dr Harris and get re- suits much better than were ever to be had with the Sippy or Lem hartz diet.
 The smooth diet has it's place In the treatment of special conditions, but any one who experiments with 1t should make surg he gets an adequate ration of vNamins.

SMOOTH DIET IS NOT A HEAITHEIIL DIET

Although Dr Walter c. Alvarez published his justly popular book on Nervous Indigestion" only five years ago, I can find little in it about vitamin, and infer that the author had not then learned about the importance of vitamins in the diet. pr Alvarez strongly recom- mended what he calls "the smooth diet" for patients with functional disturbances of digestion, such as mucous colitis. He held that the smooth dietN is based not only or practical experience but on a num- Der of scientific principles. We con cede the practical experience but We may debate the principles on scientific ground.
 The first principle Is that i've have no ferment in the digestive tract which will dissolve cellulose, that is. the 1ibrous part of vege- tables and fruits. Most of this ma- terial is quite indigestible, and if we eat much of 1t we throw a heavy burden on the bowel. This fibre interferes with the digestion of starches and predisposes to flat ulence."
