/ have been struck with the fact that
when l come TO the vitamin known
as Vitamin D. find that l have to
put a question mark in that column
for nearly any Of the common foods.
We can say with considerable GER
tainty that an orange contains good

predict that yeast or any Of the
cereals will contain Vitamin B. But
we cannot say certainly. in the case
Of any food. that it contains Vita

Vitamin D occurs in fatty foods

eats butter. egg yolk. or milk. will
get Vitamin D. but it u by no means
certain, because this depends partly
on the diet of the cows or hens from
which these food products are OBJ

animals, and partly on the time Of

those reputed TO be containers may

It is Well known that irradiatious
which means exposure TO sunlight Or
ultraviolet light, will produce this
vitamin in living animals or in vegeT
table oils, but "even slight amounq
of artificial overirradiation, IT. has
been found, will; destroy the acquired

The question is particularly seri-
Gus one in the winter. It is probable
that the human animal manufactures
his own Vitamin D from exposure Of
the skin to sunlight. In the winter
this exposure is necessarily dmlh-
ished, and the dangers Of Vitamin D
deficiency become imminent. Any
one may make certain OF q good
Vitamin D intake by the use Of cod
liver oil. This procedure Is impera-
tive in infants. Adults. however 40
not usually take the time or trouble
to use cod liver oil deliberately. and
the safest thing for all Of us to do is
to see that we have as much ex-
posure to sunlight during the winter
as the weather will permit.

COLUSA, Calf, Aug 5. U.P)-
The body of mystery girl, who
performed nude dance of death
on the banks of the Sacramento
river before drowning herself, lay
unclaimed today at morgue while
authorities sought to establish her
identity.
Eight youths gathered at the
fayorite community swimming hole
watched the 30-year-old auburn
haired girls weird ritual last night
They first saw her standing neal
the river bank with a suitcase in
her hands. Then she began to dis
card her clothing, one piece at g
time, slowly and methodically.
Undressed, she started strange
dance, full of short skipping ano
much arm tossing.
Finally she plunged into the wat

They watched her swim to mid
stream. Suddenly she sank. Shak.

McGroarty Claims
ToUnSends Plan
VIII Be Approved

PORTLAND. Ore, Aug. 5. U.P)-
Hopes of supporters of the Town
send revolving old age pension plan
were strengthened today by the
prediction by Rep. John S. Nc
Groarty Dem0 California, that
either the present congress or the
18th congress would approve the
program.
McGroarty, poet laureate of Cali
fornia and sponsor of the Town
send movement in congress, point
ed to the history of other legisla-
ton to sustain his confidence in
the eventual success of the plan of
a Southern California physician to
give all persons over so 5000 month
to be spent within the month.
Addressing Townsend clu b
rally at Jantzen Beach park here
yesterday, the California congress-
man said that his bill, embodying
DR.. Francis E. ToWnsend's plan, re-
ceived the greatest start any piece
of major legislation ever received in
the national law-making body.
1--WE couldn't get a roll call on
the measure but we got standing
vote" he said. "SiXty-one con-
gressmen voted aye.
Remember it took 20 years to
put women's suffrage over and
when repeal of the 18th amendment
was first proposed it got only three
votes.
"The McGroarty bill is still in
committee. If we can get it out in
the second session of congress in
January, I predict we will add 100
more affirmative votes. If the
Townsend organization continues to
spread in the east we may get it
through at that session. If we don't
I'm positive the 18th congress will
pass it,"

ASK BRIDGES
PRESENCE At
CONFERENCE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. U.P)-
Harry Bridges, insurgent leader OF
San Francisco union seamen, was
invited to participate today in de-
partment of labor conferences
seeking to avert a west coast ship
ping strike.
Bridges, who took an important
part in the San Francisco general
strike last summer, was invited by
Edward F.. McGrady, assistant sec
retary of labor. 1t was indicated he
would accept.
Labor department officials, after
preliminary discussions which OPP
ened the conferences Saturday,
hoped to make progress today
toward conciliation of differences
between west coast shippers and
union representatives.
Immediate efforts were directed
toward freeing five ships now tied
up in San Francisco and Vancouver
because Of alleged violation OF
working agreements between the
unions and ship owners.
OF more far-reaching import
ance, however, was the ultimate OBJ
jective-that of averting a general
west coast shipping strike next
month. Labor agreements by which
the 1884 strike was settled expire
September 30.
These agreements automatically
expire unless renewed by August 20
Ship owners have indicated a will
! 'ingness to renew the labor accoro
in all west ports except San Fran
cisco.
McGrady reported the conference
was making progress" but sale
no definite proposals had beer
agreed upon for settlement of the
dispute. The conferences are ex-
pected to continue several days.

Addressing so pilgrims of the

1T is sad to think of the fight
engaged in by some against both
God and Christ in favor of modern

"The name of Germany conveys
to us many happy, great and also
sad things. 1t is happy to think
there are many pious and strong
youths in Germany with their faith

1T is necessary never TO lose
courage but to be ready for firm
defense of the faith and trust in
God, because the present moment
is most difficult and times still

Opportunity For
Hog Raising To
Become Active

This is the opportune time for
Imperial Valley to increase its hog
raising activities, according to w.
j. Clements, chairman of the cham
Der of commerce agricultural COM
mittee. Hogs have reached their
highest point in the last five years,
and few Gays ago were bringing
around lie in Pacific coast mar
kets. This quotation does not in
clude the 2Ac federal process tax
which makes the actual value of
hogs today we'll above 13c.
1t has been proven that Imperial
Valley is the ideal place for hog
raising. Several years ago, the
chamber of commerce conducted
an extensive hog raising campaign,
urging that hogs be kept in con-
junction with all dairieS in Imperial
Valley, and the campaign achieved
considerable success. However, mar
ket prices of hogs gradually de-
clined along with the prices of 9TH
er agricultural commodities, the in
dustry became less attractive here
and production of hogs Waned. At
the net price of lie and relatively
low feed cost, there is no question
it is pointel out but what hog
raising in Imperial Valley can be
profitably cSducted for consump-
ton has dropped in Southern Cal
ifornia due to a scarcity existing

ZENGE FACES
DEATH CHARGE

CHICAGO, Aug. 5. U.P)-A for
NAL charge of murder today block
ed the efforts of Vaudeville W.
zenge, 26-year-old Tilted lover and
accused mutilation slayer of his ri
val, to obtain freedom on a writ
of habeaS corpus.
The defiant Missouri farm youth,
resisting all efofrts to wiring a con-
fession from him, appeared in
Judge John LeWe's criminal court
for the habeas corpus hearing.
The case was transferred to
Chief Justice Cornelius j. Harring-
ton when Charles S. Dougherty of
the states attorneys staff said the
murder charge was being prepared.
zenge, unshaven and wearing
the tattered tweed trousers he pur-
chased at a second hand shop last
week, was taken to Judge Harring-
tons court. The judge said the pc
tition for the writ of habeas corpus
would be dismissed as soon as the
murder charge was filed.
The accused emasculation slayer,
who came into court from dra-
matte meeting with his erstwhile
sweetheart and widow of the slain
chemistry professor, met his aged
father, j. Andy zenge, in the
courtroom.
They clasped arms around each
others shoulders and whispered for
several minutes, parting wit
smiles.

SOCIAL BILLS
Up To VOTERS
Of OKLAHOMA
Far-Reaching Program To Be
Decided By Citizens At Polls
On September "a

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug 5. WH
Oklahoma voters on September
oath will ballot on a double
barrelled social reform program
which is raising misgivings among
conservative business elements.
Both propositions have been the
battle-cry of politicians for years,
through many hot campaigns.
They are constitutional amend
ments for old age pensions and
exemption of homesteads from adj
yalorem taxes.
Paradoxically, the old age pen
sion supporters have split with the
$. politicians, and through farm-la-
shor groups have launched drive,
with promise of success, to initiate
liberal pension amendment.
The legislature submitted an
amendment providing $15 month
pensions, limiting eligibility in
drastic ways.
Farm-labor groups announced
themselves dissatisfied with the le-
gislature's proposition. and
launched an amendment to provide
$50 per month, financed by broad
privilege tax similar in many re-
spects to a sales tax.
Fight In Offing
A determined effort is brewing
as conservative elements organize
to beat this measure.
The homestead eXem p t. n
amendments are in the field, but
Gov. E. w. Marland announced he
would withhold an initiated am
endment which was launched be-
fore the legislature submitted a
plan.
A survey of the state chamber of
: commerce showed that with home
stead tax exemptions some 400
cities and towns would be unable
to hire night watchmen or keep up
sewers and streets.
Approximately $261, ,502500 of
taxable property would be remov-
ed from the rolls, the survey show
ed, bankrupting many municipali-
ties and counties.
The amendment provides for eX-
emption of homesteads up to $500
valuation.
A pension of SIS per month for
the 87,724 persons who might quail
ify would cost $15,834,O0O per year,
the chamber estimated.
This would be paid by the state.
Already, by reason of years of
failure to balance the budget, the
state is $20,OO0,O00 in the red
With municipalities and counties
deprived of much Of their revenues,
because of homestead exemption
the state will have to ftsume the
local government expense burden
in part, business interests say.
This would be in addition to the
pension cost to the state.
h With the state $20,000,000 in debt
an annual expense of $15,334, ,000
for pensions looming, and whole
sale exemption of taxes appearing
likely, many conservatives view the
future with considerable alarm.

GRAVE ENDS
TRAGEDY Of
ARID DESERT

PHOENIX, Ariz.. Aug. 5. U.P)-A
freshly-turned mound of earth and
newly-dug grave today marked
the final resting places of two lit
tie, homesick Phoenix boys who
died from thirst on the blistering
desert almost within sight of here.
Raymond Flores, II, whose ema-
ciated. sun-blackened body was
found beside a hole he scratched
in the desert floor in a desperate,
maddened attempt to find water,
was buried yesterday.
Funeral services for Tony Acosta,
12. who died beneath a mesquite
tree on the other side of a rocky
knoll from where Flores lay, were
to be held late today at Glendale,
a small town north of here.
Leo Coronado, 13, who was found,
raving from thirst two miles from
where he had watched Acosta die,
was improved slightly at the hos
pital where ne was treated for ex-
treme exhaustion and starvation.
The three boys and two others

here, last Wednesday morning be-

Metric SYSTEMS
Use Urged Upon
United States

PARIS, Aug. S. W.P)-The old
fight to bring the metric system of
measurement into use everywhere is
being brought to the fore again this
summer by national committees of
t he International Chamber Of
Commerce.
The chamber long has been on
record as favoring the decimal sys-
tenn of measuring in preference to
the Anglo American system or 9TH
er systems, and during the recent
Paris congress the members voted
to instruct the national committee
to undertake a new campaign.
Action in favor of metric calcu-
lation is recommended in the inter-
ests of trade, as it is pointed out
that universal use of the same type
of measurement would make for
simplicity in transactions. Busi-
ness men represented in the cham
Der never had difficulty deciding
which existing system should be
employed universally as the simple
units, tens and hundreds scale of
the metric system recommends it
self far above the others by its SIM
plicity, in their opinion.
The chambers resolution pointed
out that since the continued use of
other systems, particularly in the
Anglo-American countries, were
likely to delay application of metric
measurement unless it again were
brought to the fore, the national
committees should bring it to the
immediate attention of their gov
ernments.
The chamber asks two things
first that efforts to apply decima
measurements be made in countries
where it is not official, and second
