There is lot to what former Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel says about high auto speeds causing more accidents today. He ought to get the automobile manufacturers to prevent this. If cars were equipped so that they could not go over 50 miles an hour the 60 or 70 mile speeds many of them attain with com parative ease would be eliminated. And there are more desirable qualities in car than speed. And most of the modern cars possess them. Sacrifice speed for comfort and dependability and perhaps the acci- dent rate will decrease. At the same time elimination of speedways would also help.

Swiftly five unforgettable days

Through it all Verde seethed
with excitment. Dicks friends,
united now in a common cause,
sent messages both to the Gov

testing the cavalry pursuit. Day
by day, in all its stark outlines,
the story appeared in Barnes
newspaper. The news spread
rapidly. Throughout the West

quite clear, I hope we can drt
But Sari only smiled disarm-
1ngly. After all, it was a part
Of the game not to antagonize
any useful tool. Besides-and
here his mind flashed back to
the memory of O'Hearn's mother
there might be yet other ways
Of reaching this Stiff-necked
Army captain.
0'Hearn'S Fury
So for an hour they rode
along the deserts edge, stop
ping often to bend over a map
Of the foothills where Sari,
from long intimacy with every
natural feature, pointed out the
main trails, the water courses,
the possible places for hiding.
At length Sari folded the map
and turned. IF Lowell stays
in this country he'll have to
come down sooner or later, and
I'd suggest you post a small de-
tail along each trail. My own
men I've already sent into the
higher country, but they're city
men, most of them, and they'll
be damned little good unless
they can get him in the open.
If they"
He stopped, conscious that
O'Hearn was no longer listen
ing, and, looking up, saw Nora
Barnes emerge from the forests
edge above them.
In the same second she
caught sight of them, but it was
already too late to turn back.
Even as she heSitated, O'Hearn
called to her, waving in high
good humor, and refining in her
horse, she waited, her calm face
revealing no sign of the fore
boding this ill-chanced meeting
awakened. But almost at once
she read the triumphant snarl
Of excitement on Sari'S face as
his eyes fell to the mare she was
riding, and her cheeks reddened
at the cynical smile that for
moment touched his thin lips.
But O'Hearn, obliviouS to all
that, was already calling, "Why
are little girls riding the range
at this unhallowed hour of the
morning?"
She forced herself to smile
"I'm a hardworking woman,
Senor el Captain, and by 9
o'clock I'm to be down at the
office helping Will. So this is
about my only chance to ride.
But why is the Army out so
early? Looking for reinforce
mentS?"
He frowned at the implica-
ton. mo, Just getting a look-See
at the country. Won't you ride
with us?"
But Nora shook her head,
and with a quick nod urged the
mare forward, still conscious Of
Sari'S burning eyes.
Hardly had she passed from
earshot when Sari looked up at
the officer with that same
malicious smile.
"She seemed to be in a hurry,
didn't he? And I suppose you
saw what she was riding?"
Indifferently O'Hearn an.
Swered, "A gray mare? Yes,
what of it?"
Sari's grin broadened. "Oh,
nothing, only that gray mare
happens to be the one Dick
Lowell rode when he escaped"
He laughed outright. "A damned

MEXICO CITY
. RIOT STAGED
BY student

MEXICO CITY. Jan. 8. UP -
Passions aroused by the latest re-
ligious war in Mexico were at fever
heat today and the city was heav-
lily patrolled by police after a
battle between students and red
shirts in which at least five stu
derts were shot.
The outbreak started last night
and fighting continued into the
early hours today. Five thousand
students, after a big demonstra-
ton attacked and partially wreck
ed the headquarters of the red
shirts organization.
The student demonstration, held
in the center of the city, was in
protest against the recent riot at
Coyoacan, in which five Catholics
were killed and one Red Shirt
lynched after the Red Shirts had
attacked a Catholic congregation.
The students marched to the Red
Shirt headquarters and began ston-
ing the building and hauling down
the Red Shirt flags.
Shooting started. The Red Shirts,
outnunlbered, fought stubbornly
but the students captured the build
ing. Police reserves arrived and
the fire department was called. The
students were dispersed by fire
hose. The separated into smaller
groups and paraded various sections
of the city, denouncing the govern

Police made more than 20 ar

their rifles and drove them awft
A heavy police guard surrounded
the hotel where Canabal lives and
prevented the students from attack

PLANS
APPROVED BY
COMMITTEE
Improvements At Schools And
Other Projects To Be Sub
mitted To Headquarters.

Several projects were approved
by the county SERA planning COM
mittee at meeting held here last
night. These are concerned chief
ly with improvements to school
buildings and grounds and will be
sent on for final approval to state
headquarters in San Francisco.
The committee approved the con-
struction of a graded road through
the Palo Verde canyon and from
Ogilby to Glamis. Several projects
relating to the Calipatria high
school were also approved. These
call for the installation of water
main to the baseball diamond; i'm
provements to the campus and
clearing of ground for the construc-
ton of a gymnasium. A second
Calipatria project calls for the
painting and repairing of two ele-
mentary school buildings and the
construction of a cement tennis
court.
Another project which received
approval of the committee last
night calls for the substitution of
a stone building for the present
wood structure of the Ogilby school.
The committee again entered in
TO a discussion of the wage scale
which had been the object of COM
plants from ranchers in the past.
1t was the opinion OF the commit
tee that the 45 cents per hour paid
by SERA for labor was not at all
too high and called upon all ranch
ers to cooperate with SERA in this
matter.
Assignment of SERA workers for
ranch work, should all necessary
conditions be complied with, will
be made through the local national
unemployment office. In order that
this ranch help might be obtained
it will be necessary that written ord
erS "a hours in advance, stating
rate of pay, number of hours per
day to be worked, the location of
the job and the length of time the
men will be employed and other
necessary information should be
submitted to the unemployment off
ice after which the necessary men
will be assigned.
1t was also the opinion of the
committee that in the future all
problems affecting the valley as a
whole, whether they be directly
SERA or not, will be taken up and
discussed by the committee at their
meetings.

SINGH GIVEN
YEAR IN JAIL
Accused Hindu Interrupts His
Trial To Change Plea On AS
sault Charge.

One year in the county Jail was
the sentence given Kakoo Singh by
Judge Vaughn Thompson in super
ior court this morning following
Singh's plea of guilty on two counts
of assault with deadly weapon.
Defendant was remanded to the
care of the sheriff to start serving
his sentence Immediately.
Singh, who had been charged
with the shooting of NICOLA Singh
and his wife on November 81 near
the Northend school, had at first
pleaded not guilty and went on
trial in superior court yesterday
morning. During the course of the
trial after the jury had been cho-
sen and the action was well under
way, Singh, through his attorney,
Edger Hervey, suddenly halted the
court proceedings and entered the
guilty plea.
The jury was then dismissed and
sentence was set for this morning.
After pronouncing sentence Judge
Thompson stated that for the fut-
ure the court would be inclined to
be more strict in such cases as
there appeared to be indications
that efforts were made to retard
justice in the matter by having the
action dropped. All people must
realize, the court said, that when
the guilty person is found he must
be punished.
Singh maintained his innocence
it was brought out during the hear
ing. He stated that he had been
framed but the evidence brought
out by the district attorneys office
it was stated, pointed to him as
the one who had fired the two
shots. NICOLA Singh and his wifi
were not seriously wounded by the
shot from the shotgun fired al
them through their screen dool
when they were sleeping.
Alexandra Estrada was arraignec
! on a charge of failure to provide
for minor children. He plead gull
ty and his case was continued until
Friday morning for sentence. Plea
in the case of James McCollum
charged with burglary, was con-
tinued until Friday as was also the
hearing on probation of John
Barnes, charged with grand theft
Herman Horton plead guilty to a
charge of escaping from the coun-
ty jail. He waived time for judg-
ment and was sentenced to pay a
fine of $100 or spend so days in the
county Jail.

Will Confer On
Land Retaliation

January IA was the date set by
the supervisors yesterday for
meeting with representatives of the
farm bureau to confer with the
board on a proposed program of
property revaluation and equaliza-
ton. This program will in all pro-
liability be similar to the one in
augrTated by Frank Weir, when
county assessor, to revaluate coun-
ty property. The work had been
carried on by two field deputies.
Conference with the farm bureau
group is in line with resolution
adopted by the bureau Saturday
urging the elimination of deputies
not specifically requested by heads
of county governmental depart
ments. The supervisors also voted to
continue the agreement with the
irrigation district relative to the
sale of land under tax deed.
