Chemicals IsGive
Color Effects
To Open Fires

The joys of an open fire can be
greatly enhanced by introducing
color effects in the flames, accord
ing to G. F.. Winslow, specialist in
forestry for the University of Mary
land Extension Service. The colors
may be obtained through use of
number of different chemicals
which are harmless and can be OBJ
tanned from any wholesale drug COM
pany.
Mr.. Winslow says that for best
results the wood which is to be used
in the fireplace should be soaked
for several hours in a solution made
up of one pound of chemicals to one
gallon of water. Following the
treatment, the wood should be al,
lowed to dry for several days.

That means a $488,000 a year
business for the valley, divided be-

Brawley bakeries. Cramer's holds
by far the lions share.
Every year 100000 loaves of

 They are all coming to agree with me- he says, in his confiding sort of manner, "at least when l have presented my case they don't have anything more to say"
 He figures that 26,000,000 people are out of work. That includes the 10 or 12 million without any jobs at all, and an equal or greater num- Der who are not occupied full time, such as dentists and lawyers who don't have enoug h patients or clients.
 He once talked of forming a huge organization of old folks and their relatives who would like to see the old folks get pension. It would be formidable political organization. More recently he has been sort of passing over that part of it. Cali fornia reporters insist it is part of his strategy and that he doesn't want to get his neck out too far this early. They think he harbors presi- dential ambitions.

 Senator Sullivan is the sole Re- publican in the Legislature.
 Reconsideration was moved by Senator C. H. LaBoyteauX who tan- gled with the other member from the Fourth, Senator Victor c. Rivers, earlier int he day on provision in the bill allotting $25,000 for a recon naisance survey of the Alaska end of the International Highway. Rivers moved to strike the line and after an indignant defense by LaBoyteaux defeated the move, finally managed to have the sum cut to S5,000. La Boyteaux voted against the bill, he explained, because the amount had been cut Rivers also voted against it. Both were for it on reconSidera- tion.
 The bill, rewritten by the Senate Judiciary Committee to make the projects and amounts binding on the Highway Engineer, provided for work as follows:
