Easter Sunday. department stores
in downtown Los Angeles exceeded
their April. 1885, showing by ap-
proXimately 8 per cent. Moreover,
a favorable comparison was made
with March, sales in April gaining
slightly more than the seasonal ex-
pectancy AS a result, the index of
Los Angeles department store sales
was advanced to 1913 per cent of the
1880 average; this figure compares
with 780 for March and the recOv-
cry high Of 80.7 in November. 1895.
II is encouraging to note that most
OF the January February recession

corresponding increases in wage

this situation should operate to re-

NEW RELIEF
SETUP NEAR

A new relief administration
for Imperial county is presaged
in the anticipated plan of the
State Relief commission taking
relief work from the State Relief
administration and turning it
over to the welfare departments
of the individual counties.
Imperial county supervisors
were informed at their Monday
meeting that the state welfare
commission would recommend
the change to Gov. Frank Mer-
riam. The change must be made
through the relief commission as
the money for the work was ap-
prOpriated to that group.
Imperial county would have to
provide the stfaf for the welfare
department and the funds and
activities would be run by the
state commission.

Auto Sales Up
Early 1896 automobile sales.

conjecture a few months ago. have
exceeded all expectations. While
January and February made sat
isfactOry shoWingS. March proved to
be record month with 14,954 new
registrations occurring during the
81 day period. Only once in the
history of the area has this total
been exceeded and then only by a
small number: 1928 cars were sold
in April, 1929. The total for the
first quarter is likewise the largest
for the interval with the one ex-
ception Of 1929 A preliminary es-
timate of l1,200 for April indicate
that the seasonal peak has prob
ably been passed and that second
quarter totals may fall below the
1885 showing. This development is
not surprising in view Of the fact
that the current season started two
months earlier than in former
years.

OTHERS VIEWS
SAVE CITY TREES; COVER
HIGH-VOLTAGE WIRES

TO the Editor:
We lived four years in Wilson,
North Carolina, and in those four
years we saw perpetrated a public act
of vandalism that was permitted to
pass almost without comment from
the people. Nash Street, Wilson, is a
beautiful residential avenue, embell-
ished by rows of magnificent trees,
trees that represented many gene
rations of care and of growth In
few weeks they were all changed. A
deep "V'' was cut through the tops
of those two rows of noble trees. The
whole beauty of that fine street is
mutilated. Comment was, "It had to
be done, on account of the wires"
Here in Henderson, just one year
ago, the writer sat on the veranda of
the little rectory, after a summer
shower, watching a high-voltage wire
set flame to the top of pole. We re-
ported, and a piece of hose insulation
was placed over a portion of the wire.
The past two evenings, after the
shower, the same high-voltage wire,
in contact with the rain-soaked
branches of a magnificent tree, OPP
posite the Catholic rectory, was caus-
ing sparks ITO fall constantly and
frequently as far as the ground.
There was danger for that house, and
we reported. Now, shall we see that
beautiful large tree mutilated too?
There is no reason on earth for high
voltage wires being exposed, except in
the case of a trolley car system. The
expense of covered wires is negligible,
and they will last longer. The fires
could then pass through trees with
safety. I have been in seventeen
states, due to church appointments,
and I have never seen folks anywhere
else allow the power companies to
throw this burden on private property
Why do you stand for it in Eastern
North Carolina? The care of high
voltage wires is distinctly the bust
ness companies. Don't allow them to
touch your trees! Would you permit
them to saw notch in your roof to
make room for the highrvoltage
wireS?"

SAYS BAILEY FEARS
TO FACE ELECTORATE
Explains Why So Many Letters Are
Coming from Washington, FOun-
tain Offices Say

Rocky Mount, May 15-"The rea-
son senator j. w. Bailey is waging a
letter instead of vigorous speaking
campaign for reelection is because
he has not the courage to face North
Carolina Democrats with his great
anti-Roosevelt and anti-Administra-
ton record in the Senate" according
to a statement issued at campaign
headuarters of former Lieut.. Gov.
Richard T. Fountain, who is oppos-
ing Bailey for reelection.
The statement was issued in reply
to letters that have been flooding
the State from Bailey and his friends
in Washington, in which Senator
Bailey is described as being so bus
lily engaged looking after the inter
ests of the people that he cannot re-
turn to the state and personally con-
duct his campaign. The letters as
sert Senator Bailey is depending on
his friends to look after his political

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

May Is, 16O2-Capt. Bartholomew
Gosnold landed on Cap Cod Che named
it thaD from the 100-ton ship which
had borne him, his crew of eight and
the 20 persons who became the first
English settlers in New England,
across the Atlantic in 10 days. The
swift passage proved what he had
long commended that there was
World; and caused navigators to
abandon the longer southern trail
blazed by Columbus. Thus he chang
ed the course of exploration and col
onization in North America.
May Is, 1775-Congress authorized
paper money, the first federal cur
rency, to avoid the collection of taxes!
The bills were issued in denomina-
tons of one, two, three, four five, six
seven, eight and 20 Spanish dollars,
as a means of financing the defense
of the colonies. Though "12 confed-
Grated colonies" Georgia wasn't in
cluded) were pledged to redeem it,
the currency deprecated to virtually
nothing. So what was intended to-
protect the people from taxes, actu-
ally was the first federal tax upon
them!
May Is, 1862-The Department of
Agriculture was established by Con-
gress, and Isaac Newton, self-educat-
ed farmer of Delaware County, Penn,
who had been agitating for 20 years
for such department, was made the
first commissioner. But it was made
part of the Patent Office, in the De-
partment of Interior!
