More Sugar From Cuba.

CUBA has already exhausted It's
quota of raw cane sugar for the
United States. but because Of the
drawback provision Of the regulations
it is possible that the quota will be re-
opened. The drawback is a provision
of the tariff law which provides that
sugar used in the export trade or for
manufacture into articles such as con-
densed milk going into the foreign
trade, may be used as a claim for
return of the tariff paid on the sugar.
In the same manner, when sugar Is
refined here and sent abroad. the quota
for Cuban sugar may be reopened to
permit replacement of the exported
sugar.

a major operation. Physicians said
she probably will recover.
Miss Adams recovery was des-
cribed as remarkable by DR.

her through a series of ailments
since 1923. Hope for her life was
almost abandoned yesterday morn
ing, but she had SO rallied last
night that she was able to take
light food. She slept a consider
able portion of the night.
Because of her rs years and a
chronically weak heart DR.. Britton
warned friends, however, that she
will not be past danger for several
days. DR.. Arthur Curtis, who op-
Grated on her early Saturday for
abdominal adhesions, said her con-
dition still is "critical'

SACRAMENTO, May 20 UP)-A
movement to push the budget bill
through the assembly ahead of the
new tax program was to be started
today as the house ways and means
committee planned completion OF
the measure by which more than
$347 100000 will be allocated to
state departments for the 1935-37
period.
Final action on requests for in
creaSes totaling $l0,000,000 more
than the original budger prepared
by Governor Frank F.. Merriam
was to be taken today to permit
submission of the bill to the lower
house in the hope it can be push
ed through to the senate by We'd
nesday.
So far the committee has ap-
proved increases totalling $1,220,-
600, including $1,000,000 for flood
control work on the Sacramento
and San Joaquin rivers, and an
additional 100000 for legislative
printing; $4,000 for support OF
the legislative counsel bureau, and
$4,000 for the second district
court of appeals to increase the
latter's budget to $206,730.
The proposal to push the budget
ahead of the tax plan was made
by G. C. Cottrell, San Jose, chair
man of the ways and means COM
mittee, to speed consideration of
important measures which by law
may not be passed before the
budget bill is approved.
The budget bill was not expected
to meet any general opposition,
although minor changes may be
made on the floors of both houses.
The usual practice of adding 10
the budget likely will be curtailed
by Governor Merriam's announce
ment that he would veto any
special appropriations for which
revenue was not provided.

SEEK TO GET ACTION ON BUDGET
BILL AHEAD OF TAX PROGRAM

With the appropriation bill out
of the way, the lower house was 10
give immediate consideration TO
the $11450O,000 new revenue pro-
gram recommended by the joint
tax steering committee.
Two Battles Expected
At least two major battles were
expected by assembly leaders when
the tax program is debated. Sub
stantial opposition already has de-
veloped against the proposal 10
levy a state tax of 1.25 per cent
against automobiles in lieu of local
personal property taxes on motor
vehicles.
AS substitute, it was believed
possible a severance tax on natur-
al resources might be enacted, or an
increase in the gasoline tax IRON
to cents a gallon.
The second showdown may CEN
tel on the income tax rates while
the assembly already has approved
bill calling for a rate one-thlrd
that of the federal levy, the steer
ing committee recommended an IN
come tax of one fifth the federal
assessment.
Most of the opposition against
the Chatters one-third rate came
from members seeking a rate even
higher than that. AS result,
strenuous objections to the commit
tee recommendations were fore
seen.
While the budget and taxation
were the two big problems to be
considered this week, the assembly
was scheduled to take final action
on series Of important bills.
Especial orders' in the lower
house included reconsideration Of
the Patterson 3O-hour work week,
the Burns bill to authorize the
state to enter into contracts for the
Upland drilling of stateowned tide
land oil pools and the gross income
tax proposed by Assemblyman E. v.

UNCLE WIGGHY' SPRING
CLEANING

When Uncle Wiggily saw his wife
and Nurse Jane sweeping, busting
scrubbing and polishing in his hol-
low stump bungalow one day he
asked.
What S all this for?"
This is spring cleaning, Wig
gy. - answered Mrs. Longears.
1--WE can't do much cleaning in
the winter when the children are
tracking in snow and mud,' said
Nurse Jane, $50 we do it in the
spring. when the rabbit boys and
girls can play out of doors"
ITS a good idea, - said Uncle
Wiggily. and he hoped out of the
dining room where Mrs. LongearS
and Nurse Jane were doing some of
their spring cleaning.
Where are you going, Wiggy? >
asked his wife. as she climbed up
to wipe some of the dust from the
top of the china closet.

WASHINGTON, May 20 tUP -
The war between the moonshiners
and the "revenooers" in the Ken
lucky mountains goes on and on.
1t carried over through the years
of prohibition and now with liquor
legal again the fight is more bitter
than ever.
Scientific chronological tech
nique usually isn't very helpful to
the "reVenooers, but in the latest
raid at Dawson Springs, KY, mod
ern methods and fashioned
frontier sense combined effectively
w R. Sayles, assistant deputy
internal revenue commissioner, re-
ported the incident.
Revenue agents had spotted a
still up in the hills near Dawson
Springs. A raid was organized
secretly and with utmost caution
but when the trap was sprung a
lean mountaineer lookout gave the
warning and the moonshiners
managed to get away.
By the time the agents got to
the still, a 150-gallon outfit still
bubbling merrily, not soul was in
sight.
The agents thought they had
been foiled again. Then they
noticed a hitching post to which a
mule evidently had been tied. On
the ground was quantity of gray
hair, shed by the mule as he stood
waiting to haul moonshine down
the rugged trail.
Agents collected all the hair
they could find and set out to
scour the Mills for a NANCY, gray
haired animal with a good many
bare patches on his lean flanks.
A couple of days later they found
such an animal in the barn yard
of a tight-lipped farmer.
The agents seized the mule, clip
ped a sample of hair from his side
and sent it with that found at the
still to the crime laboratory of the
Louisville, KY, police department.
Experts there analyze the
samples, reported they came from
the same animal and telegraphed
their findings back to Dawson
Springs.
With that evidence the farmer
was arrested on charges of operat-
ing the still and another score
was chalked up for the union of
science and crime fighters in
genuity.

kELv|NATOR'S 8
SALES EXCEED
HIGHEST HOPE

This seasons sales on the new
1885 Kelvinator have exceeded our
highest hopes" Pete Schmitt, Kel-
vinator distributor declared this
morning.
"a new Kelvinator priced within
the reach of all is largely respon-
Sible for this outstanding success.
This model gives the customer so
much at such low cost that selling
has been remarkably easy Schmitt
said.
Amazingly enough" Schmitt
added, this low price includes the
special heavy duty refrigerating
unit for extreme summer weather
conditions in the valley, which are
so difficult for a refrigerator not
having sufficient power to cope
with. There is no doubt" Schmitt
said, that Kelvinator has become
one of the leading electrical re-
frigerators in the valley
Various models of the new Kel-
vinator are now on display at the
Schmitt Electric company, where
anyone can have all the new fea-
lures and advantages explained
satisfactorily, Schmitt says. He
called attention to the fact that
among. the many features are the
vegetable crisper, the dairy basket,
IL freezing speeds, porcelain inte-
rior with rounded corners for easy
cleaning, rust proof bar-type
shelves; all of which contribute to
the efficiency and usefulness Of
the machine to the housewife.

Southern Pacific
Summer Schedule
Boosts Travelling

Opening of the annual summer
tourist season last week was an
event of more than ordinary inter
est this year in terms of railroad
travel comfort, as we'll as low-fare
transportation, it was pointed out
today by j. w. Donohue, district
freight and passenger agent, Ell
Centro, Calf.
Start of the season was marked
by immediate increase in travel to
and from California, it was stated,
with hundreds of passengers TAX
ing their first trip on one of South
ern Pacific S five transcontinental
trains that have been fully air
conditioned.
Approximately $3,000,00O has been
spent by Southern Pacific on the
work of fitting equipment of all
kinds with the latest temperature
control" devices, it was said. Trains
fully equipped in this manner are
the Overland, Pacific, Golden State,
Sunset and Cascade, connecting the
Pacific coast with all parts of the
country.
The efficiency of air-condition-
ed cars was fully demonstrated
during the recent dust storms in
the middle west when passengers
were carried through the affected
areas without the slightest diScom-
fort, the records show. Air-condi-
tioning, it was explained, not only
maintains an even temperature in
the cars but keeps out dirt and
dust.
The roundtrip fares, to remain in
effect until October Is, will cover
transportation in all kinds of
equipment - standard Pullmans,
tourists sleepers and coaches, it was
announced

really a den at all, though he
called it that. 1t was just a room
where he used to sit in an easy
chair to read the paper and have
"peace and quiet, > as he called it.

Uncle Wiggily IS den was a little
room off the front hall. 1t was his
own particular place and he was
allowed to have it just as he wanted

floor when hn was in a hurry,
though, afterward he always picked

Wiggy?" asked his wife. Aren It
you going adventuring?
II am going to do some spring
cleaning in my den,' Mr.. Longears
answered as he hoped in and shut
the door. When he went in his
den he always closed the door to
have peace and quiet, though he
often opened it to let Baby Bunty
or some of the rabbit children come
in that he might tell them stories.
Goodness knows his den needs
a spring cleaning" " said Mrs.
Longears.

Nurse Jane. Il looked in this
morning. 1t is piled full of old
newspapers, books, funny things
that he has made for the children
and bits of flowers, leaves and tree
bark from the woods. 1 never saw
such a place.
"'Well, I always said Wiggy could
have his den just as he wanted it
and so he may said the rabbit
lady. 1T IS dusty and packed full
of odds and ends but he doesn t
scatter his things about the rest
of the bungalow, SO let him keep
his den as he likes. I'm surprised
though, that he is going to give it a

DIFFERENT FROM OLDER DAYS

families. They had to search
often with parched and swollen
tongues for waterholes along the
way.
When the pioneers Of the last
century reached a spot on the Ne
braska or Kansas plains that look
ed likely they had to use the trial
and error process to determine
what crops to grow. They had to,
wrest their food from the game Of
the forests, the wild plants of the
land. They had little money and
few implements.
1t was a precarious business -
pioneering in the 18th and 10Th
centuries.
Our pioneers of today, the 200
Minnesota, Michigan and Wiscon-
sin families selected by the federal
government to populate the Mata-
nuska valley of Alaska, have few
of the hazards to face that their
ancestors met and conquered.
Travelled In Comfort
The Matanuska colonists rode to
their new homeland in comfortable
trains and on a staunch transport
ship. Their food was prepared and
served in de luxe dinners aboard
the trains and in the galleys of the
transport. Chicken, beef, turkey
and pork we're served them on the
U. S. A. T. st. Mihiel. Fresh milk,
oranges, apples and sweets were
abundantlV available
For one year, perhaps longer, the
government will continue to supply
these settlers with their food.
Experts from the agricultural di-
vision of the College of Alaska Sc
lected the tracts on which the COL
onists will be placed. Soil and
drainage factors were considered
The 200 40-acre farms are the best
in the valley.
The same experts have determin-
ed what kinds of crops grow best
and what type of farming will be
the most successful.
The Rural Rehabilitation Corpo-
ration of Alaska, grandchild of the
tERA, is advancing to each set
tier credit of $4,000 to be repaid
within a 30-year period. Interest
VIII be less than three per cent.
No interest or principal will be COL
lected until the beginning of the
fifth year.
The food given the colonists, the
farm equipment including 20 trac-
tors and livestock, the cabins in
which they will live and the seeds
Tor the initial crop will be charged
against this fund.
The Matanuska colonists have
practically everything in their ia
Vor for success. There are some
drawbacks, but from the stand
point of the men who followed the
grass yesteryear, the pioneers of
today are starting out in de luxe
fashion
