Explains lightning

Why certain trees are more apt to
be struck by lightning is explained
by DIR. w. J. Humphreys in the KAN
sas City Star. SIN general, the
trees most likely to be struck are
those that have either an extensive
root system like the locust, or deep
tap-roots like the pine, and this for
the very obvious reason that they
are the best grounded and therefore,
on the whole, offer the least electri-
cal resistance"

GERMANY HINTS
NEW BOOST In
NAVAL FORCES

LONDON, Oct. IL. UR)-Germany
delivered a note to Great Britain
today which it was understood i'm
plies that Germany will feel con
strained to enlarge her navy sub
stantially if the pending Anglo
Soviet naval pact is signed.
The note was delivered to the
foreign office by the German Charge
dAffaires, Prince Won Bismarck,
and the naval attache, Admiral Err
win Wassner
The Anglo Soviet naval pact per-
mits Russia to build seven cruisers
with I'll inch guns, which is above
the cruiser building agreed to in
the British French United States
treaty of last March. The excep-
ton is made for Russia because
the other powers already possess
heavy cruisers which the Soviets
lack.
Russia also would be permitted 10
build two big battleShipS mounting
either IA or 16 inch guns.

Warehousemen
Threaten to
Go on Strike

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. u. U,P)-
The Warehousemen's union repre-

and feed mill workers-affiliates of
the International gshoremen's
union-will strike Thursday noon
unless a l5-day truce now in effect
between waterfront employers and
employees is not extended, Warren
Denton, president, indicated today.
This disclosure speeded confer
ences between negotiating commit
tees as shipowners and maritime
unions sought to reach agreements
on contract disputes and avert a
shipping tie-up predicted in some
quarters after termination of the
truce Oct. Is.
Neither side reported further
progress in their discussion today,
and it was revealed they had ap-
pealed to the national maritime
commission in Washington to inter
vene actively in the controversy.

and motion pictures making good
gains.
Department store sales increased
more than the usual amount from
August, rising to the recovery high
level registered in June, exceed
ing the corresponding month year
ago by approximately II per cent.
Because there was one more trad
ing day this year, stores actually
sold 16 per cent more merchandise
than in September, 1885.
Stores in suburban and rural
communities also showed gains, al
though smaller than that for Los
Angeles in most cases. Cities in
the San Joaquin Valley, where
farm income is much larger this
year, made the bsst showing.

POLICE SEEKING
HIT-RUN DRIVER

A hit-and-run driver is sought by
El Centre police in connection with
injuries suffered by Francis Harris,
46, of Ell Centro. Harris was found
in a dazed condition Sunday night
and officers took him to headquar-
tiers for an examination.
The mans inebriated condition,
the officers said, prevented him
from giving coherent report of
the accident. Harris right hand
was badly skinned and his cloth
ing was dusty and torn, leading
officers to believe he had been
struck and thrown to the pave

industry.
The outlook for California farm
income in 1886 continues bright as
the harvesting OF many crops is
completed A slight decline in pro-
duction of several commodities
from previous estimates is, in the
main, more than compensated by
an increase in prices. Weather
conditions during September have
bsen favorable for harvesting of
most crops; heat, however, has re-
duced the quality of walnuts in
certain sections. The production of
field crops shows an increase over
the 1885 output and the. 1930-1934

HEALEY BILL IS
PASSED in HOUSE

Washington, June 19.-(UP).- THE
house today passed the Healey bill
restricting government contracts to
firms paying prevailing wages anc
maintaining 40-hour work week.
The measure Is an outgrowth Of
new deal efforts to retain hour ano
wage levels Of the obsolete MIRA.
1t now goes to the senate where
administration forces plan to make
an effort to substitute 1t for the
more far-reaching Walsh bill, pass
ed last session after the supreme
court NRA decision. Failure Of this
move in the senate probably would
kill the legislation for the session
The BILL backed by organized la
Dor, covers government contracts
over $4,000 and effects labor in all
branches Of industry interested In
federal contracts. 1t provides that
contracts shall go only to firms or
individuals paying prevailing COM
munity wages determined by the
secretary of labor, observing 40
hour week, and bars use OF convict
and child labor.
1t also requires firms to have sani-
tary working conditions.
The measure also bans the bid
broker type of bidding, whereby the
actual contract might go to sweat
shop or "substandard factory"
Heavy fines are imposed for viola
ton. Contractors found violating the
law would virtually be blacklisted
from further government contracts
for three years.

new JOB MAKING
BILLIONS READY

washington, June 10 (UP)-
Harry L. Hopkins and Harold L.
Ickes, heads of New Deal employ
ment programs, stood ready today to
pour new job-making billions
through the country as soon as
president Roosevelt signs the ST.
AIS 100000 work-relief appropria-
ton.
Congress approved the measure
Yesterday, making $3,446, 600 600
available for continuing around
3 600 900 of the nations needy to
work on government-financed prof.
ects. The figure was $750,o0o,0oo
more than Hopkins and Ickes spent
In the current fiscal year under the
present $4,000, 10000 jobs drive.
Both promised there would be no
delay in getting the new programs
under way for 1936-1937. They al
ready have approved more projects
than they can build with the money
allowed.
The course Hopkins and 1ckes pre-
pared to follow put the democratic
party squarely on record as favor
ing continuation of its present en-
ployment policies. The republican
presidential platform advocated re-
turn Of relief jurisdiction to the
states with continued federal con-
tributionS.
