More than 20 inquiries re-
garding financing benefits
under the Federal Housing
Administration were an
swered at the Chamber of
Commerce building this week by
M. r. Mahana, jr., financial rela-
tions manager of the southern dis
trict.
Mahana reported that the re-
quests for information included
data on home buying and building,
modernization and improvement OF
business property as well as in
formation on construction of farm
buildings.
The federal agency official will
be in Ell Centro at the chamber
headquarters every Thursday to
answer questions and to aid in
filling out application blanks. Next
week, however, he will be here Fri
day instead of Thursday, which
falls on Thanksgiving Day.
In commenting on his first day
of consultation, Mahana said:
Imperial Valley is fortunate in
having lending institutions that
are cooperating with the batter
housing program in wholehearted
manner.
MANY modernization loans have
already been granted by local banks.
1t is vital to the growth of Ell Cen
tro that new dwelling houses be
constructed as this city is greatly
underhoused, and many residential
and farm homes are badly in need
of repair. BY cooperating with the
better housing campaign, this need
ed work may be done now"

(UP)-The castoff husband
of 17-year-old Mrs. Mary
SWope Philpot established
an alibi today that eliminat-
ed him from connection with the
kidnapping and Staying of Leroy
Smith, friend of Mrs. Philpot who
was found shot to death Thursday
near her home in the Sleepy Hollow
country.
Police said Luther Philpot, %,
proved beyond doubt that he was
in New York City during the time
they believe young Smith was held
captive and on the day he was kill
ed. The alibi left detectives with
out even hint of means to iden-
tify and trace the slayer.
Philpot was questioned almost "a
hours because Smith, apparently a
small town Lothario proud of his
conquests, had told friends he was
threatened with a shotgun" we'd
ding and planned to defy coercion.
When police established that he had
dinner last Saturday night at the
home of Mrs. Philpot, and then dis
appeared, they hunted up her es-
tranged husband.
An autopsy indicated that Smith
was killed not earlier than We'd
nesday. His clothing indicated he
was shot somewhere else and the
body taken to a spot near the 16-
room, revolutionary period house
where live Mrs. Philpot and her
mother, Mrs Nicholas Salamon.
A suede jacket had been put on
him and buttoned after he was
shot.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov.
23. (UP)-Dr. J. C.. Geiger,
city health officer, said to-
day a 20-month-old invoice
indicated that a barrel of
sodium fluoride believed respon-
sible for San Francisco's three
baking soda Deaths" came from
the basement of Nicholas Manno's
salvage establishment.
DR.. Geiger, however, insisted that
an arsenic reaction in the baking
soda, which was retailed from
Rosenthal's department store, re-
manned unexplained He refused
to accept a theory advanced in
some quarters that arsenic could
have been an impurity in the So
dunn fluoride, which is used as a
securing powder.
"An invoice which Mr.. Manno's
attorneys found after digging
through thousands Of records DR.
Geiger said, showed that on March
30, 1884, steamship company sold
a damaged barrel of fluoride to Mr..
Manno.
"AIr. Manno insists the barrel was
unlabeled and that he did not know
what fluoride is.
"If this is true, I can see no ex-
cuse for the steamship company
dumping unlabeled poison on the
market. And I think the state and
federal people should investigate
to determine whether any other
fluoride has been sold as salvaged
material. Who knows but what the
entire state or even the Pacific
coast has been flooded with this
stuff"

out that the American mills have

Yeager, county agent, and G. A.

particularly good for removing con-
ifer stumps, in land that is not too
wet. Stumps are burned out by
means of pipes attached to motor
driven fan which produces strong
draft, thus creating high tempera-
lures.

Interest Centered
On Next Congress
January 8 Marks Start Of New
Session; Bonus Big
Problem

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. (Autocas-
ter)-The president is back from
his holiday, and the wheels of poll
tics are buzzing again. Interest
focuses now mainly on the coming
session Of congress which will begin
January 3. 1t will be the same old
congress, but there is a decided be-
lief here that 1t will be much
more critical congress, now that the
boys have had chance to talk
things over with the folks back
home.
Washington news for the next six
months will he the story of a bitter
struggle for political advantage, not
only on the part of the administra-
ton as against the opposition par
ty, but on the part of individual
senators and representatives striv-
ing to insure their own chances
for reelection.
There will be plenty of contro-
versial matter for the new congress
to consider. One of the first things
1t Is expected to do is to pass the
soldiers bonus, but without either
the Patman greenback provision, or
any new tax plan to provide reve-
nue..

ted that the opportunity may be
seized by some of the "soak the rich
advocates to press again for the i'm
position of heavy federal inherit
ance taxes.
Social Security Again?
There are many straws indicating
lively controversy over old-age
pensions, going far beyond the
present Social Security act. Wash
lngton is only just beginning to
realize the voting strength behind
the so-called Townsend Plan, which
is organizing local units all over
the United States and will be in a
position to put heavy pressure upon
congress. There is little chance
that any universal scheme of old
age pensions will be adopted, but
the subject will certainly get an
airing.
The forces back of the thirty
hour-week plan have derived new
strength from the action of the Fed
GRAFTON of Labor convention, which
advocated constitutional amend
ment giving the federal govern
ment complete power to regulate
all industry and to fix hours and
wages. 1t is not impossible that
such an amendment, backed by the
growing strength of organized la
Dor, may be submitted to the states
by congress before the next session
adjourns.
Discussion of this will reopen
the old question of the MIRA. It
Is certain that strong efforts will
be made to put through some modi-
fication of MIRA. Washington can
not think Of MIRA without being
reminded of General Hugh john
son, its aggressive former head, and

Accidents In Home
Cost Many Lives
More Than $50 Die From Stair
And Bathtub Falls In This
State

SEATTLE, Nov. 5-Home Is not
quite as safe haven as song writ
ers and novelists would have us
believe, according to records of the
State Department of Health, DR.. E.
R. Coffey, director, announced to-
day.
Accidents definitely specified as
occurring in the home caused 221
deaths in the state during 1884.
During this same period, typhoid,
diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles,
whooping cough, infantile paralysis
and spinal meningitis caused 191
deaths. Accidental drownings num-
bered 1872 and other accidents
claimed the lives of 144 persons.
Falls on unguarded stairways, on
slippery floors and in bathtubs re-
suited in 1873 fatalities. Other ma
jor causes of death in the home
were from scalds, burns, gun shot
wounds, poisonous gas, electric
shock, untreated cuts and acciden-
tai drinking of poison.
The state director of health urges
statewide cooperation in the Home
Accident Prevention program now
being conducted by local chapters
of the American Red Cross that
homes in this state may be made
true Ravens of health and happi-
ness.

New Deal. He has lately been
openly expressing himself.
One of the favorite amusements
in Washington these days is to
compile lists of "Hot Dogs. Hot
Dogs is the current slang term for
the ardent young reformers who
are the disciples of Professor Felix
F'rankfurter, who is known as the
Happy Hot Dog" Professor
Frankfurter holds no official po-
sition, but there is no question of
the tremendous influence which
his teachings have had and still
have in formulating administration
policies.
The presidential announcement
that the AAA must be regarded as
a permanent arm of government
and not merely as an emergency
measure is looked upon here as a
clever piece of political strategy.
There cannot be any question that
the beneficiaries of AAA like it.:
the recent ten-to-one vote for the
continuation of the corn-hog pro
gram is pointed to as convincing
proof, if any were needed. In
promising the farmers that AAA is
to be continued permanently, the
administration puts the issue
squarely up to the Republicans who,
it is conceded, must go along with
AAA or offer some acceptable sub
stitute which has not yet been
formulated.
The European war situation has
brought the question of national de-
tense again sharply to the front.
The next session of congress may
bring about showdown between
the "peace-at-any price, followers
OF Senator Nye, and the "big navy
advocates, among whom President
Roosevelt himself has heretofore
been numbered.
What our governments policy will
be may be partly determined by the
outcome Of the Naval Conference
which is to meet in London on De-
cember 2. There is not even the
pretense of calling this a disarma-
ment conference. The expectation
is that England, and most of the
other naval powers represented, will
press for agreements permitting
them to increase their naval
strength, and in that case it would
seem to be up to the United States
to do likewise.
