CHANGES
BOUNDARIES
ADVOCATED

Three school districts either have
already circulated petitions for
changes in boundaries or are doing
SO at present, c. 3. Collins, county
superintendent Of schools stated to-
day.
Petitions are being circulated
this week to divide the Winter
haven district. One part of this
district would be an Indian reser-
walton district entirely, taking in
all of the reservation except the
toWnsite Of Winterhaven and the
territory east and west. No name
has been chosen for the proposed
new district but petitions are be-
ing circulated and will be present
ed to the board of supervisors.
A section of Calipatria district
has petitioned to be included in
North End district, and a section
Of Eastside, a strip running be-
tween Highline and Palmetto to
the desert, has petitioned for in
clusion in Highline instead. This
strip is nearer Highline than East
side. Hearing by the board OF
supervisors has been set for Jan. G.
Supt. Collins Tuesday visited
schools in Winterhaven and Bard
and found Winterhaven with ar
enrolment adequate to the size Of
the building, but the Bard schoo
more than full. Apparently, hc
said, many families are moving intt
the Bard district in hope of OBJ
tanning work On the construction
projects.

Aid REQUESTED
in ASSISTING
FOREIGN BORN

Aid was requested Tuesday of
the FL Centro Chamber of Com
merce to provide adult educational
facilities for foreign born residents
in a national program backed by
funds from the WPA, Manager
Robert Hays of the chamber an
nounced.
The request was made in the
form of a letter from Glen F.
Hoove! director of educational
projects under Frank Y. McLaugh-
lin, WPA administrator for CAL
ifornia.
In his letter to Hays Director
Hoover said, THE Works Progress
Administration believes that CAL
ifornia has made reasonable pro-
vision for the education of those
of usual school age, and there is
no intention of using federal funds
to duplicate or supplement exist
ing facilities in this field. 1t is felt,
however, that inadequate financial
resources of the local school dis
trictS have limited the development
of pre-school and adult educational
facilities. 1t is the purpose of the
Works Progress Administration to
supplement existing facilities in
these fields.
THE 1880 census reported 1885,
600 aliens of the white race in
California. Because of timidity or
otherwise, many Of them have been
reluctant to enroll in such classes
as the public schools have thus far
made available to them. 1t is our
hope that homogeneous groups of
these foreign born may be encour-
aged to form classes of the kinds
mentioned above.
I'VE trust" said Hoover that you
and your organization will join in
this effort to help aliens adjust
themselves to our American envir-
onment. We urge you to use your
very best efforts to encourage the
formation of classes"

NEW YORK, Dec. II. UP
Stocks today resumed the rise in
terrupted Tuesday by n stalematt
in the London silver market.
Thanks to American assistance
the London silver crisis passed to-
day although there still were many
uncertainties. Mere gesture on the
part of the United States treasury
10 aid the silver situation allayed
fears. London brokers set price at
an American equivalent of 81 cents
an ounce, a decline Of 3A cents
from the previous quote fixed day
before yesterday.
Early in the session the stock
market was irregular win sllVef
shares promine ent on the downslde.
Meantime the London silver brok-
ers strove TO set a price and thus
maintain prestige of their market.
When they succeeded pressure re
laxed from the silver shares and in
turn from the entire market. Amer
lean Smelling which touched 5Sl4
came back to above 60. u. 5, Smelt-
ing gained more than point from
its low. other silVers behaved cor
respondingly. Coppers resumed their
rise.
The motor shares were the real
leaders in the recovery. Chrysler
touched SIS up 2as and held most
of the gain. Gen eral Motors gained
more than a point. Low priced is
ducts at its high was up rs points
and led Motor Equipments higher
Electric Auto-Lite was up more
than a point and new demand de-
veloped for Houdaille Hershey B
and Briggs.
Demand for the motors was based
on outlook for further gains in pro-
duction. In November the country's
output of autom obiles set a new
record for the month and the out
look for 1886 is regarded as favor
able.
Steel issues resumed their rise,
led by Bethlehem which touched
1875 up II. L. ). Steel was up frac-
tionally and other steels rose frae-
tions to a point. Steel operations,
point, but scrap steel. considered
an excellent barometer, registered
a price advance.
Western Union gained more than
points when the company reported
a net income for the first 10 months

iod of 1884. other communications
firmed after an early decline.
Liggett & Myers A stock lost 6
points while the B was down 24
other tobaccos were dull.
Railroad shares were steadier
Utilities made small gains. Oils firm
ed and demand increased for bonds
of oil companies. Store shares con-
tinued to gain with Woolworth, the
exception. down more than q point.
Electrical equipments, building
shares, farm equipments, liquors,
and bank stocks rose fractions to
more than point. Warner was
active in the amusements.
Trading was lighter than Tues
day, but picked up late in the day
when prices were recovering.

New Plan Denounced
Bv Smaller Nations

Samuel Hoare, British foreign Sec
retary. agreed that the embargo
would have most dangerous reper-
cussions on the European political
situation and therefore ought not
to be applied at present.
But it was believed also that the
general staff would take some
vague action that, in the end, would
kill all chances of ever applying
the embargo.
There remained a slight possi-
bilitv that Russia and small ma
tionS on the committee would re-
volt against such procedure, re-
garded by league-minded people as
an acknowledgement of defeat by
the league.

CALLED DEATH
BLOW TO LEAGUE

sentatives of small nations said
bitterly today that the British
French peace plan submitted to
Italy was the greatest blow to the
league since the Manchurian crisis
of 1881 when Japan successfully
defied it.
They called it a betrayal of Eth
opia and of league principles, and
observers generally expressed be-
lief that it ended, definitely and
forever, any chance that an oil en-
barge would be applied against It
ally in its punishment for its war on
Ethiopia.

track the oil embargo indefinitely.

Possibility that Persian lemons

Gleerup told Manager Robert
Hays Of the chamber of commerce
that he was in the valley to in
vestigate conditions here with ref

lemons, which, he declared, are far
sweeter and command higher
