Vously as she described her fatal

today as she heard a coroners jury
refuse to eXonerate her in the

Her face Whitened and she
slumped in her chair when the

termine whether she was justified
in shooting the boy as he peered
through her bedroom window Sun
day night. The jury recommended
a further investigation into the

through the window a few minutes
before. A revolver was in her hand
AS soon as his face reappeared in
the window, she fired once.
Il shot downward for fear the

she said. But 1 didn't intend to

He was only about three feet

Social Security
Act Explained At
Meeting OF Lions

The social security act now pend
ing in congress was discussed at to-
days meeting of the Lions club by
Herbert DeWes, Of Riverside, assist
ant to the president and general
manager of the Southern SierraS
Power company. Economic secur-
ity for wage earnerS of the nation
was stressed and the accomplish
ments of private industry in the
way of economic protection for en-
ployeeS were reviewed. The welfare
plans of the Southern Sierras Pow
er company and associated COM
panieS looking toward economic
protection of the employees were
discussed in detail, including a pen
sion plan in 1920 and recently un-
derWritten by one of the large in
surance companies providing more
life benefits for longer periods of
service than under the proposed
program of the federal government.
The first group life insurance
policy for any public utility on the
Pacific coast was taken out by
the Nevada California Electric cor
poration for the employees of the
associated companies in 1915 and
has been continuously in force for
the past 20 years. Dewes referred
to other welfare plans of the COM
pany, including the pension trust
fund of half a million dollars es-
tablished in 1884 as security for
payment of pensions to employees
and liberal policy of salary al
lowance in event CT disability on
account of non-occupational acci-
dent and illness and measures to
provide medical and hospital bene-
fits for nonindustrial illness.
| Dewes stressed the Importance OF
the amendment to the social Secur-
ity act, which is designed to furn-
ish tax exemption to employees and
employers who have already estab-
lished private group annuitieS and
| old age pension plans as good Or
better than the one set up in the
! proposed bill. The amendment
has been adopted by the senate and
! is now in conference. The effect
of the amendment would preserve
existing security built up by private
industry over a period of many
years and would lessen the admin
istrative program at Washington in
connection with the proposed fed
eral plan of old age benefits for
wage earnerS.
| Jack Allen, also of Riverside, gave
short talk on the need of safety
! to prevent accidents and praised
] the work being done by industry
to promote safety among its en-
ployeeS, the statistics for last year
showing accidental deaths in in
dustry last year were less than
! those resulting from accidents on
the highways, in homes, and from
other causes.
w. H. Rhodes, chairman of the
Imperial County Street and High
way Safety committee, also spoke on
safety, urging support of the public
in the educational campaign now
being conducted.
Mark MunSon was chairman of
the day and visitors included, in
addition to Dewes, Allen and
Rhodes, Joe E. King Lee Nuffer,
DR.. Sem Bacon, and William Lyle.

NEW YORK, July 8. U.h)-Profit
taking reduced prices on the New
York stock exchange today after
long list of issues had made new
highs for the year or longer. Trad
ing was fairly active with volume
well over million shares.
The feature of the markets was
rise in wheat which ranged from
35s to more than a cents a bushel
Corn gained e cent to IL cents a
bushel and other grains were cor
respondingly higher. Commodities
generally were better with cotton
up several points.
The stock market opened firm
In the late morning, rails led a
rally with gains ranging to more
than a point. They later lost part
of the rise. while utilities were ir-
regular, farm shares eased steels
were barely steady and communi-
cations were mixed.
Wheat's rise was induced by
| further black rust ravages. But the
issues which usually follow it, fail
ed to do so today. Farm equip
ment shares were barely steady af-
ter early advances. Mail order
shares eased following gains to a
new high in Sears Roebuck.
Despite indications from WASH
ington that the utility bill as passed
by the house would be found un-
constitutional, small losses were
noted in Columbia Gas, North Am
erica, and several other utilities
Consolidated Gas, Public Service
and American & Foreign Power s.

Automobile shares made new
highs in the early trading with
Chrysler at 521a, up z and Gen
eral Motors 3412 up u. Later they
| declined to small net losses. Motor
equipments were in demand until
late i'll the day when they de-
clined to small losses.
Chart readers held that unless
the railroad issues confirmed the
rise in the industrial section the
market would run into a sharp re-
action. Rails gained fractions to
more than point, but the market
turned dull, and they receded from
the highs. Great Northern prefer

CHANGES in the tissues of the alimontarv canal
~ sufficient to interfere with the normal processes
OF digestion are responsible for pernicious anemia
and certain related blood diseases. according to a
theory advanced b. DR.. William B. Castle of the Har-
ward University Medical School.
DR.. Castle bases his opinion upon experiments
carried out over a period of eight years in the Thorn
dixie Memorial Laboratory of Harvard.
In normal individuals. the red bone-marrow
manufactures red corpuScles to take the place of
those destroyed by the liver, spleen, and other It's
sues. In perncious anemia, the number of red cor
puScleS produced is greatly reduced while those pro-
duced are abnormal in size, shape, and other ways.
Liver extract is known to be a successful treat
ment for pernciouS anemia. But medical science
does not yet know the cause of the disease nor the
exact nature of the active principle in the liver
extract which is effective in the treatment.
q = q
IRON his experiments. DR.. Castle is convinced
Il that the normal blood production in healthy
individuals is dependent upon an intrinsic factor
which is present in the gastric juices and an "eX-
trinsic factor which is present in the food.
The inter-action of these two produces a third
factor which is absorbed from the digestive tract by
the blood and carried to the red bone-marrow, where
1t stimulates the normal production Of red corpuscles.
DR.. Castle arrives at three conclusions from eX-
periments in which patients with pernicious anemia
were successfully treated with a preparation made
by incubating normal human gastric juices with beef
muscle.
He concludes that in victims of pernicious anemia
the intrinsic factor or gastric factor, as he also calls
1t, is not present.
=
THE nature of these factors is not yet known.
i DR.. Castle is certain that the gastric factor is
not hydrochloric acid. pepsin. rennin. Npase. or any
other known constituent of the gastric juices. He is
equally certain that the "extrinsic factor has not
yet been identified. Suggestions that it might be
Vitamin G have been proved wrong.
Another problem which needs solution is the de-
termination Of the Site at which the reaction be-
tween the two factors takes place.
P%ernicious anemia. he points out. could arise from
a failure of the alimentary tract 10 produce the
necessary gastric factor or from inability Of the tract
TO absorb the product produced by the interaction
OF the two factors.
There is also a third possibility. although Dr..
Castle thinks this would be very infreQuent namely
a deficiency in the diet which would cause the ex-
trinsic factor 10 be absent.

Because of the petty attitude of

clared. Commander Frank Bel
grano can't dodge the responsibility

The Legion should have dropped
the hopeless Vinson measure in the
opening days of the Congressional
session and supported the Patman

Instead of doing that, he charged
that a tactical blunder of Legion

Sador Troyanovsky knew nothing

protest in American peace time
history.

floor of the chamber for days, de-
nouncing the President for insist

wages instead Of the prevailing
wage. And when Senators Robert

with the President, Huey accused
the two liberal leaders of selling
out"
That was last winter. The scene
