CONTROL BOX FLASH
BURNS 80 ON CAR
Los Angeles Motorman Sticks to
Post With Clothes Afre and
Passengers in Panic.


BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, October 30.-A
sudden squirt of flames from a street
car control box left 80 persons nursing
painful burns today.
A short circuit apparently caused
the sudden blast which sprayed
flames over passengers and Motorman
r. j. Crothers as the car rounded a
turn in downtown Los Angeles late
yesterday. With his clothes ablaze,
Crothers stayed at the controls until
the car was stopped.
Screaming passengers fought their
way out through windows and the
rear exit.
Thirty-three persons were taken by
ambulances and police cars to an
emergency hospital where all but two
we're treated and sent home.

he hastily admitted. "I'll do it alone"
"Of course" assented Dolores.
turning away lest she betray her
exultation.
Dolores soon left him to go to her
work. BY what seemed to Pedro some
happy chance the little cupboard was
well-stocked with teqnila, so all day
long he bolstered up his valor with the
fiery liquor.
1t was after dark when Dolores
returned to the cabin and found Pedro
in an artihcially audacious humor.
They decided he could start at once,
for no one was likely to be near the
cemetery then. and later on there
would be moon. She gave him the
key to the coffin, and equipped with
chisel and mallet, and carrying
shaded lantern - as we'll as a full
bottle of tequiia - Pedro stole off on
his ghoulish venture.
Scarcely had his footsteps died
away when Dolores hurried down
winding path that led to the house of
her nearest neighbor. Here she found
Juan. a little lad of eight. waiting
for her
Are you ready to run an errand
for me. as you promised" she asked.
Then go straight to the rurales, and
say exactly this II just saw a man
breaking into grave at the ceme-
terry.
Juan hurried off on his mission,
while Dolores turned back up the hill.
Pedro had some difficulty in finding
the cement slab that sealed the grave
of Carlos, but he finally located it, and
set to work. pausing now and then to
fortify his courage from the bottle.
A small squad OF rurales. led by
sergeant, came quietly to the gate of
the cemetery. and peered in. They
could plainly see Pedro and what he
was doing.
Shall we arrest him?" whispered
one of the men.
What! A grave-robber? sneered
the sergeant. why bother with such
scum? I'll yell at him. and when he
runs ~ we'll have a little target
practice!'
The men snickered agreement.
Dolores was standing tensely in the
doorway of her little cabin. listening,
her face turned towards the last
resting-place of her lover. Through the
quiet of the night came the sharp
crack of a volley of carbine fire -
then stiffness.
Crossing the room. Dolores went
to the green stone and pulled it from
the wall. She reached in the hole and
took out little leather bag. like
tobacco pouch. Swinging Carlitos on
her back in his shawl. she silently
disappeared into the darkness.

Earthquakes
from the Moon?
Continued from page five

From our present knowledge one
dares assign no definite date for the
next great earthquake. but one can
state with reasonable assurance that
it is likely to occur in the regions Just
mentioned. There is also likelihood,
although the probability is much less,
that earthquake disturbances may
occur along the fault line passing the
Atlantic seacoast into Iceland.
AS long as man continues to inhabit
earthquake regions of the globe,
further Investigations of the occur
rences and the behavior of earth
quakes is of the utmost importance.
The innate love of home precludes all
possibility that civilization will cease
to rise in earthquake-ridden countries.
With utmost confidence frail man re-
builds his towers and his palaces over
ruined cities in the face of a new
disaster.
Yet science has greatly reduced the
risk of future catastrophes by teaching
mankind in such regions to build
structures designed to withstand even
violent earthquake shocks. 1t is frail
structures, plastered masonry walls
without proper reinforcements, that
have caused most of the loss of life
where Mother Earth is her worst.

AMERICAS PRIMARY PURPOSE

TDEALIsM and realism were sanely balanced in
a President Roosevelt's Armistice Day plea for
world peace.
When he said "the primary purpose of this ma
ton is TO avoid being drawn into he prob
ably expressing the desire of SO per cent of the people
Of this country.
Yet, he pointed out with due emphasis, have
duties 10 perform in the world community. We must
be the good neghbor We must set an example
We must do all to discourage war; both be-
fore and after it begins We must not be guilty of
trying to snatch trade advantages at the price of
somebody's blood.
But he warned we must not bury our heads
in the sand
Eve have either led performed full part
in every important attempt to limit and to reduce
ornaments" he said. Still 'it is with dsappont-
ment and sorrow that confess the worlds gain
thus far has been small -
"Jealouses between nations continue Arma-
ments increase National ambitions that disturb the
worlds peace thrust forward. Most serious of
all, international confidence in the sacredness of
international contracts is on the wane."
AS result "the dangers that confront the future
of mankind whole are greater to the world, and
therefore to than the dangers which confront the
people of the United States by and in themselves"
AS a people, therefore, we face the task, whether
like it not, Of self-protection. The United
States, he declared, would never enter into any
lace of ornaments seek to arm herself beyond
what is needed for her own defense And "the
of that defense" he explained "s and will
be solely the amount necessary to safeguard
against the ornaments of Others" Now, always,
stand eager to disarm with the rest
Tragic and ptfu proofs of the Presidents words
of the World War, whose ending he memorialized
yesterday, many nations still resort to

that might makes right-or at least, that the end
ustifes the means
Ethiopia is merely the latest horrible example.
But China is sort of permanent. and more obvious,
one. The earths most popuous nation, she is among
its most helpless. Individually perhaps the most
peace minded of all peoples, civil and foreign

lined them yesterday. That is to say, must de-

RECIPROCAL PROMISES

IN joint communicate, President Roosevelt and
Premier King of Canada say they are in com
plete agreement on the objective of a greatly in
creased flow of trade for the benefit of both
tries, and substantial progress has been made to-
ward this end"
This will arouse hopes for an effective scaling
down of the tariff barriers which have destroyed
much of the profitable trade between the
United States and Canada. The heads of the two
governments deserve encouragement in their diff
cult undertaking.
Trade, like peace, is something which all parties
praise-but each with specific reservations. Strange,
indeed it that Canada and the United States,
lying side by side and Boosting comparable living
standards, compete freely with each other in the
foreign markets of the rest of the world Yet each
attempts as far possible TO reserve to its pro-
ducers monopoly in the exploitation of its own
consumers.
Some kind of United States Canadian treaty
doubtless will be negotiated. But the fact that
tariff protected special interests have much more
political power than the unorganized consumers of
the two countries prompts not to be too hopeful

buggy age applies with particular force to local gov
ernments. County lines laid out about 100
years ago to cover some 500 square miles, on the
average This gave the farmer a day to ride or
drive his horse to and from the county seat over
mud roads. Now, with good highways county
could be 1000 square miles in size. The smaller
units could be abolished entirely.
Prof. Thomas H. Reed, of the University of Michi-
gan recently pointed to 1854 units OF government
in New York State, most of them worse than I'M
necessary" Michigan, he said has 1880 units sup
porting 42902 officials, "a vast army of taxwasters
and verltabe battalion of death in resisting local
government reform" In North Carolina 25 per
cent of the counties have less than S100000OO in
assessed valuation, the minimum needed for sup
porting the simplest county government. In other
states the ratio is much higher.
President Roosevelt, who as Governor and Pres-
dent has urged the reform of local government,
says there are more than 100000 governmental units
in this country. Some people live under 10 layers
of government. Three should be sufficient.
Counties could be enlarged and could hire county
managers as the progressive cities do Useless local
governmental units are the little foxes that eat

I AMERICAN ATTITUDE is
TERMED HYPOCRITICAL

BY s. De Cotis
If Britannia rules the waves, they
must be waves not of the Mediter-
ranean Sea or Red Sea. But if the
British ships have not scared Italy,
the brass" in the Anglo-SaXon
makeup has fooled the yes nations
(52 of them, count 'em) into being
bamboozled. Even our Washington
overseers arc agreed on doing what
the British have demanded they do.
Had England been in Italys place,
our Godfearing, liberty loving gov
eminent would have found some ex-
cuSe to side with her. Such things
happened in the late World War.
But Italy is not England; therefore
we must act as straight backed,
righteous Christians and make
Africa safe for England, like we
made the world safe for democracy.
Hypocrisy must be catching; All
the 50-odd powers bent on applying
sanctions are looking for way of
how they can beat each other and
bootleg supplies to Italy at fancy
prices.
America, I am proud to say, will
peat them all on that game.

From an agreeable little girl, praised for her
thoughtfuiness she grows into a regular farytale
stepchd, or family sculery maid, explaining mis-
understandings, soothing injured feelings, and
quoting bad temperS.
Grown up and married, her mission remains the
same. Somebody always is running to her for
favors She has time of her own no life of
her own. Having become known in the family
circle as AN accommodating person." she is overrun
with relatives and friends asking for help during
sickness, sorrow and financial distress.
Admirable as she may be- she nevertheless is
responsible for many of Our selfish whining no-ac-
count individuals-who. after being thoroughly

everybody to wait them
