TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS

protest to the League of Nations
made public late today, charged
Germany with endangering the
whole course of European peace"

Spanish authorities are merely ex-
ercising their right of examina-
ton (of shipping) within SPANS

been released, but the cargo and
passenger are held at Bilbao.

First Come, First Served

First Come, First Served
They're getting so thick, and
coming so fast-theSe entrants IN
RR's Liars Contest-that this col
umn is going to be days behind.
Anyway. we'll serve up the first
ones first. etc, until they're all
taken care of. This one was SUBJ
mitted by a politician. who values
his reputation 50 highly that he
didn't want his name published
in connection with anything which
might be construed as untrue. 1t
really isn't, he says, but some peo-
pie might think so.
The early days of Imperial Val
ley, he av3rs, provided more than
one kind of problem. For instance,
the farmers were threatened one
time with the necessity of giving
up their watermelon crops, be-
cause the melons grew SO large
an entire freight car was needed
TO ship one of them Naturally,
\ there was no market for such large
Rproduce, and besides that the
weight of the melons while they
rested on the ground began to pack
the dirt SO tightly that il couldn t
he used for anything but a stone
quarry.
Melon prices were good then
remember?-and the farmers did
nj want to give up their crops.
Finally they hit upon a solution.
They dipped the watermelon seeds
in tequila stunting the growth OF
the plants to such an extent that
they appeared normal to outsiders.
Not In The Contest
RR is inclined right now to
award the grand prize TO Fred
Nebel-Thau and r. p. Moore, only
they maintain their story is actu-
ally, literally true. 1t sounds to
RR like an alibi--but what an
alibi! The two went fishing at La
Jolla t'other day, and as they
\ \caught the fish they placed them in
"a puddle formed by hlgn tidc in a
niche in the rocks, for fresh kesp-
ing. At the end Of The days fish
ing they discovered there was nary
a fish in the puddla-the seagulls
had taken them all. Even Bill
Clements couldn't beat that one.
An Honest Man
Just now it has come to light
how Christmas was a very merry
season for thrse old ladies en- route
to Chicago. They stopped at the
City Limits cafe before passing
through FL Centro. Shortly after
they left. Christ Tsimicles of the
cafe staff discovered a pocket
book-and in it was $3.50 il travel

worried about the money. Then,
