Japanese Battle
River Floods

Continued from Page One)
Day and night, they crept up to
attack isolated parties.
japanese charged that at many
points the Chinese still were deli
berately breaking the dykes, to send
new torrents gushing down onto
the plain.
The main flood area was south
of the river. But the japanese re-
ported that Chinese troops who still
held Kingshui, near Chengchow
junction point of the east-west and
north-south railroads, were doing
nothing to strengthen the north
bank dykes.
1t was asserted that the dykes
there were rapidly disintegrating SO

conservative basis
Gov. Frank F.. Merriam has is
fsued a few preliminary TRADES
against radical influences but
thus far has directed his remarks
to no specific candidate.
Not so his rival, 1t. Gov. George
j. Hatfield however. Hatfield is
on record as conceding the Bourbon
nomination to Olson. In addition he
labeled the former discipline of the
EPIC movement a radical vision
ary, deliberately beating the tom
toms of class hatred"
This attack from the Republican
side was to be expected. Indeed, in
all probability, it is but the fore
runner of series.
Olson's most vulnerable point is
his connection with the EPIS camp
of which Upton Sinclair was the
! leader. And although no published
works have come to light to be used
against him, as was the case in the
Sinclair fight, the logical
strategy for Olson's opponents is
to place the emphasis on the SEN
ator's former affiliations.
Olson's record in behalf of a
Mooney pardon resolution will not
escape fire from the conservative
camp either
Hatfield did not limit his criti-
cism to Olson. He scored Merriam
for giving California what he de-
scribed as a "reactionary govern
ment," but he directed the heavy
fire on Olson.
The Los Angeles senator, he said,
as former Sinclair lieutenant es-
poused Production for Use, the sys-
tenn advanced by Sinclair as a
panacea for the states economic
ills. This the Merriam Republican
rival roundly denounced as nothing
more "in layman's language" than
Communism.

Founder of Firm
Of Irish Birth

Hugh Reilly, ST., founder of the
well-known concern bearing his
name, was born in June, 1852, at
Belturbet, County of Cavan, Ire
land. Reilly attended the schools
IN his native community, and when
he was 10, he left the land of his
birth and came to the United
States, going directly to George
town.
The policies that Reilly insti-
tuted are the policies that guide
the company today, now managed
by John Hardell. president, and
Hugh Reilly, jr., vice president.
Several years ago the entire
store was completely remodeled.
The show windows were greatly
improved and a smart, modern
1stic Neon sign replaced the old
painted one, giving the store front
q very up-to-date and attractive
appearance. On either side of the
main entrance two mirror displays
were set up. Just recently a COM
plete mirror salon has been in
stalled, allowing for more COM

shapes and designs, latest of which
are the American Beauty mirrors

Paint Protection
OF All Buildinq

Without the protection of paint
and varnish, the great achieve
ments of modern building would
be impossible. The great liners
that cleave oceans with their
proud prows would soon be rust
ing, rotting hulks if it were not
for paint. Special anti-fouling
paints on the hullS prevent bar
nacles from impeding the rapid
travel of today's ships. Special
paints are also devised for the
aeroplanes that streak across the
skies-paint that protects them
against the attacks of the weather
but does not add undue weight.
Magnificent steel bridges are
kept safe for transportation by
that seemingly unimportant thing
paint.
In the whole scheme of modern
science and engineering, as a mat
ter Of fact, there is no perma-
nance, stability or even safety
without the protection Of paint.
