THE TULIP

Many, many years ago the Chinese gave the people
Persia a few tulip bulbs. The Persians liked the
flower much that they used it as the basis for
designs in their sewing and weavi ng. You can see

Holland, where the first bulbs highly priced

bulbs developed disease that made it necess-

New Power Sale Basis

WASHINGTON, May IA. (UP)--
Government power experts today
predicted the extension OF cheap
electricity to thousands of small
farms, homes and stores as a result
Of new basis for the computation
Of American power rates-the "kilo-
watt year..
The new standard was proposed
by j. D. Ross, administrator of the
governments S50.0000O0 Bonneville
dam project on the Columbia river
IN presenting to the federal power
commission a tentative schedule for
wholesale power rates.
The submitted schedules woulo
provide public authorities, private
utilities and industries with power
as cheap or cheaper than any in the
nation, computed on the kilowatt
year basis.
Under this proposal, the purchaser
would contract to buy full years
supply of power and would pay q
flat rate for the electricity regard
less of how much was used.
Ross said tnat riflii.Jns of kilo-
watt hours of power annually are
wasted because consumers are un-
able to pay high rates,
The kilowatt year is strictly a
wholesale rate and the power will
be resold on the kilowatt hour basis
But Ross contended that municipal

BERLIN, May IA (UP) - An
American protest against a decree
authorizing the utilization" OF
property of Jews, foreign as wei
as German, was completely base
less,' the official news agency
asserted today.
1t was the first time the agency
has referred to the American pro-
Test, made May 8. The protest as
serted that the decree was a vio-
lation of the United States Ger
man treaty of friendship of 1928
This claim is completely base
less the agency said. In the
article of the treaty in question
Germany and the United States
assured each other they would pun
each others citizens on the same
basis in pursuit of industry anc
trade as those Of the country in
question. According to the Ger
mani decree foreign Jews are not
treated worse than domestic Jews.

Officials Below Border
Await Notification
OF Squabble

MEXICALI, M ay Ia. =
Mexicalis comment today on
severance of diplomatic re-
lations with Great Britain
was a shrugged 'Quien sabe?'
Esteban Flores Diaz, secretary
general of Lower California, in
charge in the absence of Gov San
chez Taboada, declared he had re-
ceived no official notification on
the break with England and declin-
ed to hazard a guess concerning
possible repercussions.
Although merchants generally
expressed fear that the move might
result in further depression of the
peso, Francisco Campillo, president
of the chamber of commerce, point
ed out that the break could have
little direct effect upon Mexical
trade because of the preponderance
of commerce with the United States.
Although the rest of the country
might be affected" he said, "Mexi
cali itself should feel no reaction" +"
Manuel Garcia, merchant, point
ed out that any act which would
tend to restrict foreign trade would
be reflected quickly in a further
drop in the peso.
Authoritative observers for the
most part failed to see more than
Straitened financial circumstances
behind the move, discounting re.
ports of a secret agreement" be-
tween Mexico and the United
States for a squeeze play which
would eliminate all foreign trade
from Mexico except with the United
States. They agreed, however, tina.
the break with England placed the
United States in a delicate posi-
ton, in view of. the Monroe Doc
trine and the good nei g,1bor'

May 14.-Uel H. Swafford,

as he worked with a light
attached to the end of long ex-

The charge, 400 volts of electrici-

said. Swafford was working alone
at the time of the accident. Water
accumulated on the shaft floor is
believed to have acted as a con-

Miners found the body in the
shaft and called a physician. The
body was taken to the johnson un-

ter at London, and the legation per-
sonnel, and ordered the legation
closed indefinitely. Foreign Minis
ter Eduardo Hay handed Owen
st. C. o. O'Malley, the British min
ister, a check for $85, 900 and, in 6
note informing him of the presi-
dents action, said:
May l be allowed, however, tc
call your eXcellency'S attention to
the fact that not even powerful
states with ample resources at their
disposal can boast of having full
filled their monetary obligations?'
There seemed no doubt that Hay
meant to remind Britain that Ii
owed more than $4,000, 900 tc
the United States on its war debt.
What a high and unimpeachablc
government source called a sus-
pension of relations, as opposed to
a formal break, was an outgrowth
of the governments action in eX-
propriating $400,000 900 worth of
foreign oil properties.
Britain took a most forceful tone
in demanding return of the proper
ties and MeXicans were not slow
to point the contrast between the
British attitude and that of Secre-
tary of State Cordell Hull and AM
bassador Josephus Daniels who took
care to respect all Mexican Sensibil-
tiles.
Then Britain began demanding
payment of an annuity, due Janu-
ary /, of 361 ,731.17 pesos 1885, ,000j

FOUR SHUT UP
FOR ID YEARS
IN DARK FLAT
Doctors Puzzled in Case
OF Children Found
In Tenement

BOSTON, May IA. (UP)
From a shuttered Roxbury
tenement where they report
edly had lived in semi-dark-
ness for IA years, four young
people came today to present
case which medical experts descrip-
ed as "the strangest we have ever
come across"
The two brothers and two sisters
were members of family of eight.
Their plight was discovered after
neighborhood children reported see
ing shadowy forms moving about
in the darkened interior of the
shabby flat.
Robert C. True of the Massachu-
setts society for prevention 'of
cruelty to children said he found
the victims, ranging in age from
IA to 25, hopelessly crippled men
tally and physically. Two other
children, mentally deficient, were
at work in the neighborhood. The
father, a 73-year-old former resi-
den; of Saint John, N. B., was bed
ridden and the 53-year-old mother
mentally deficient.
None of the children had seen
daylight except what filtered thru
drawn shades for IA years." he
said They were living in indescrib-
able filth, were unable to speak,
and unable to walk, were dragged
from place to place about the house
by their mother"
All were malnourished and the
youngest, boy of IA, was blind,
partly deaf, and had the physique
of a -year-old boy.
Professor Clyde r Keeier of
Harvard medical school began
study of the cases. The .M.S.P.C.C.
planned no prosecution bdt saf0f'
the children would be placed In
a mental hospital after 10 days
observation at Boston psychopathic

defense of the boards work.
Madden Is expected to discuss the
boards current legal difficulties
arising from the supreme courts
decision outlining quasi Judlcla!
procedure in a Kansas City stock
yards case.
The court may decide whether
to grant the boards petition for
writ of mandamus, compelling the
circuit court of appeals to vacate
its decree which prohibits furthe,
steps by the board in the Republic
Steel corporation case.
The conference is the first meet
ing of the justices since publication
of a magazine article criticizing
the legal qualifications of Justice
Hugo L. Black, and an address
by Hughes before the American
law institute.
The labor boards effort to with
draw the Republic case from the
circuit court began after the Su-
preme courts decision in the Kan
Sas City StockyardS case three weeks
ago. The court ruled that failure
to publish proposed findings, be-
tween the hearing of evidence by
a trial examiner and PRONUNCIATION

culture Henry A. Wallace, consti-
tuted a "vital defect"
