SPELLING HARD
WORDS A CINCH
TO CHILD OF ;

"Trigonometry," "pretzel" an
hamburger all properly spelled,
fall carelessly from the tongue of
Arnold Crowell, 3, along with
choice bits of historical lore and a
little mathematical collection he
has accumulated. He is a son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall Crowell,
who now make their home in Ell
Centro.
The childs remarkable memory
serves him well in his feats of
spelling. His repertory of con-
quered words includes many which
are strange to children twice his
age.
He said Columbus discovered
America in 1892, but the country
now belongs to Henry Ford and
Andrew Mellon He knows where
the family spent the summer and
delights in giving a detailed de-
scription of a train ride he enjoyed
while perched on the lap of the
engineer, in the cab of the engine.
Exhibitions of his ability as a
speller are a little tiresome to
Arnold. He prefers to play games
with tiny trucks and automobiles
or draw startling designs on blank
pieces of paper. Spelling is dull
amusement for him.

ing it has led to waste, eXtrav-

named Rhudy. He claimed that
Booth escaped to South America

Okla. on the 38th anniversary OF
the assassination in 1908.

BACK IN VALLEY
FOR WEEKEND

Summer temperatures returned to
Imperial Valley this weekend and
set cooling systems to roaring again
after little more than a weeks ces-
sation Blankets, coats and neck
ties were discarded and residents
resumed summer regalia.
Thermometers registered 105 de-
grees as maximum Sunday and
by noon Monday the needed point
ed TO 81 degrees The minimum for
Monday morning was So degrees
Discomfort resulted from the high
humidity. The humidity record
was SO at o'clock Monday morn
ing while the temperature reached
only go degrees.
Low hanging clouds cloaked the
horizona surrounding the valley and
caused residents to express the
necessity for another cooling wind
from the west.

Two union men, who tore up their
union cards and went to work in
packing sheds as non-union men,
reported to Sheriff Carl Abbott that
their home in the Hebron Heights
district had been fired upon, pur-
portedly by strikers.
Sheriff Abbott said the men re-
fused to give their names, fearing
reprisalS, and that he had kept
them in Jail during the night to
afford them protection.
Stanley Vernon and j. L. Nc
Caslin, non-union workers, were
beaten up and seriously injured,
assertedly by strivers, when their
car stalled while en- route to one
of the shipping sheds.
A test case of Salinas anti-picket-
ing ordinance was anticipated today
following the arrest Of Perry Nc
league, 10, one of 20 pickets sell
ing newspapers in front of the ice
company plant.
He will be given a police court
hearing tomorrow. The ordinance,
which the strikers have denounced
as unconstitutional" provides a
maximum Jail sentence of six
months or $500 fine or both.
Police investigated circumstances
of an asserted attack on Paul Blan-
kenship, 80, a striker, who was
found in the Salinas labor temple
yesterday, unconscious from skull
injuries.

The president came by special
train to Denver from Cheyenne,
Wyo., to inaugurate his second
week of intensive, extensive cam
paigning on a 5,000-mile front.
While not mentioning Governor
Landon by name the inference was
plain that Mr.. Roosevelt was re-
plying to the formers Chicago
speech in which he attacked the
administration for excessive and
wasteful expenditures.
Il tell YOU, he declared, land
you will agree, that we are around
the corner. Private employment
is picking up. That means that
government expenditures for work
for the unemployed are coming
down. That means that the total
of government expenditures will
decline.
Turning the corner also means
within year or two balanced
budget and the beginning of re-
duction in the national debt"
Mr.. Roosevelt pointed to the
United States monetary system as
the soundest in the world and pro-
ceeded to crack down on its cri-
tics.
"The great bullion reserves now
in the United States treasury, he
remarked, "are sufficient to re-
deem every dollar of our currency
far more than 100 per cent, and
yet people for partisan purposes
are willing to spread the gospel
of fear that our currency is not
on sound foundation"
Defending his, broad emergency
program, the president said that

For the first time since the

typhoon that lashed the northern
Philippine provinces Friday and
Saturday and was continuing with
decreasing intensity, was estimated
today to have taken a toll of from
rs to as high as 400 lives.
The exact number of fatalities
may never be known because ram
paging streams, swollen by the
storm repeatedly carried away
dozens of flimsy houses, snatching
and drowning their occupants with
out warning.
The heaviest toll was believed
taken in Nueva Ecija province.
Some estimates of dead and miss
ing in that area reach as high as
400.

MADRID, Oct. II. (UP)-
-Loyalist troops retreated
on Madrid today for the
final defense of the city.
They retreated stubbornly and
counter attacked ON occasions. But
they were outnumbered, the rebels
were better armed, and the rebel
officers were regular army men.
All along the front west Of Ma
drid the insurgents thrust first
at one point, then at another,
while the loyalistS gave ground
awaiting reinforcements.
It was reported that the rebels
started their advance northward
on the Madrid highway from Toll
edo.
But the main shock of the ter
rifle offensive was expected to-
ward Navalcarnero and Ell Escor-
ial.
On the western front, the rebels
had passed Navalperal de Pineres,
Ell Hoyo and San Martin de VAL
deiglesias in three attacking col
umns.
The battle for Madrid was pro-
ceeding in a cold rain and heavy

In letter to the Imperial coun-
ty board of supervisors, Fletcher
indicated his regret that the mea-
sure is not likely to win federal
approval, but included notice that
he intends at the next session OF
the state legislature to work for
an appropriation to include the
CaleXico-Mountain Springs road in
the states secondary highway sys-
tenn.
His statement led observers to
believe that the CaleXico cutoff
in Fletcher's opinion, is of more
Importance than the proposed re-
alignment of the existing grade.
Other roads mentioned by Flet-
cher for possible inclusion in the
states secondary system are a pro-
posed road from inland to a con-
nection with u. S. 60 between
Blythe and Desert Center, and the
highway from Palo Verde to a

>. Supreme Court handed
down today brought reper-
cussiOns in many quarters.
Outstanding rulings included:
The state of Arizona was denied
reconsideration Of the courts opin-
ion of last term which held the
state could not file suit against
other Colorado river basin states
to prevent them from taking water
which Arizona contends is hers.
The court decided to hand down
a new opinion on the validity of
legislation outlaWing the gold
clause in public and private obli-
cations.
Standing by its much criticized
decision of last spring which held
that New York state was without
power to regulate the minimum
wages of working women, the high
tribunal refused a review of the
ruling. At the same time the
court agreed to hear argumnt on
test of similar law of the
state of Washington The Wash
ington case may provide an am
plification of the principles pre-
sented by the court in the New
York decision.
In standing by its decision of
last spring, the court rejected
the joint plea of the states of
New York, Illinois and Massa-
chusetts that it provide re-
hearing of the case.
The wage law decisions were
highlights of a busy day in which
the court refused on technical
grounds to hear the first test
brought before it of the national
labor relations act, a case involv-
ing the Bradley Lumber Co., of
Arkansas. Other tests of the act
are virtually certain to be heard
by the court this fall.
In the decision to review gold
clause legislation, the tribunal act
ed on the plea of the Holyoke
water power company which had
contract leasing power to the
American writing paper company
from the dam in the Connecticut
river at Holyoke.
The lease called for a yearly
payment of gold equal in weight
to $1,500 in gold coin or its equi-
valent in currency. Since the
lease was entered the dollar has
been devalued and the power COM
pany contended it was entitled to
yearly payment of $3.50.
The first circuit court of appeals
held that payment should be made
in $l,500 in currency. Such con-
tracts are believed rare
The court also denied the re-
quest of the Sierra Land and
Water company of California for
review of a District of Columbia

plications for four rights of war
