Faucet Washers.
@. What is the best kind of wash
ers for hot and cold water faucets?
Some recommend rubber and others
fiber.
A. Either of those materials should
give good service, provided the seat
in the faucet against which the
washer bears IS smooth. When new
the seat is smooth and washers last
long time. But with use the seat
may roughen, and the washers will
then wear quickly. At hardware

smoothing down a rough seat.

is another matter. however. The
flow of air through the jacket around
the furnace is supposed to be of suffi-
cient volume and moving at suff-
cient speed to pick up the heat de-
veloped by the furnace and to carry
1t off TO the registers. If for any
reason the flow is checked the air
in the jacket will become Overheat-

lost through it. The usual reason
for the checking of the flow is too

Right Chimney Design
Before Building VituI

The reactions of a new chimney
to its first fire are difficult to pre-

place differs radically from the
usual size, be sure you have the
right chimney design before you
build it.
Extra large chimneys have be-
come increasingly popular in the
past few years. They look well and
fit with early Colonial styles. They
can cause difficulty because the
mass of their masonry is difficult
to heat up. Remember, you must
heat the air in a chimney to get
1t to move properly and produce
the right kind of draft.

NEW YORK, March 13 CUP)-
Joseph M. SchenCks palatial Hol-
lywood home was pictured in fed

trial as a collection of rooms, ten
mis- courts, and a swimming pool
always teeming with writer's, di-
rectors, producers, and actors.
They were all over the place, "
said Jacob Paley, a semi-retired
capitalist who was called by the
Getense to gloster its contention
that Schenck entertained so Law

income was substantially lowered.
The government charges he owes
$412000 for 1935-6-7.
Paley, a former director of the
Columbia Broadcasting system, a

Mud Holidays May
Set School Over
Into Summer Here
Closing Date Will Be
Mid-June or Later,
Officials Believe

Another mud holiday for
most of the schools in lmpe-
rial county Thursday pushed
elementary as we'll as high
schools toward an emergency
that may require classes far into
the summer.
With the loss of so many days
due to impossible roads, most schools
will be hard put to it to comply
with state law requiring ITO days
of attendance in the year
Superintendent of Schools E. l.
Hiteman said most of the schools
would have to run as late as the
middle of June to meet the require
ment. End of May IS The usual clos
ing time. In case of more mud holi-
days schools would be forced tC
face the necessity of keeping open
even later.
Hiteman indicated that the prob
able outcome would be special dis
pensation from the state depart
ment OF education, permitting
schools to close short of the 17(
day minimum. In any event, how
ever, the reduced attendance there
fore will mean a drop in school
income State funds are paid out
on a basis of average daily attend
ance.

ed time on the fifth mud holiday
Buses were prevented from operat-
ing because of mud conditions. Su-
perintendent of Schools Guy A
Weakley explained that this latest
delay, coupled with the two week
late start because of earthquake
damaged buildings, would mean that
school runs until June 13.
ANY further holidays will just
mean that we will have to extend
over into another week of June,
Weakley declared.

The others tentatively scheduled
for release are II oVer-age destroy
ers, So submarine chasing patrol
boats, and nine over-age Submar-
ines.
The transfers will be timed Sc
that only short period will elapse
before replacement. The ships are
types that can be replaced within
the year by vessels now under con-
struction. The mosquito boats and
patrol vessels will be transferred
first since they can be replaced
most quickly.
President Roosevelt has not re-
vealed the equipment on the first
list he approved Tuesday, but lat
est authoritative information was
that it also includes quantity OF
Enfield and Springfield rifles, rs
millimeter guns, ammunition and
bombs.
Meanwhile, all departments of the
government concentrated on put
ting the new War-aid program into
effect after Mr.. Roosevelt asked
congress yesterday for $7000,0O0000
to supply every possible gun, plane
and munition of war TO the democ-
racieS.
A house appropriations subcom-
mittee headed by Rep. Clifton A.

hearings on that request today and
hopes to have bill ready for house

Valley is not closed shop.
News of this ultimatum caused
the rancherS to mobilize and select
representatives of the various agri-
cultural interests to invade the Los
Angeles area and protest this ab-
sentee control of valley affairs. Mag
gio's offer to send a union truck

ket was scorned by the TeamSters
who said they would permit no
dealings with an open shop.
In the group which left Ell Centre
at noon thursday were w. L. Jacobs,
representing the hay growers; Har-
vey Hastain representing the flax
and grain growers; John l.. Dubois,
representing the grapefruit grow
ers; and Hugh T. Osborne, manager
of the Associated Farmers of I'm

Such dictatorship from the mar
kets means that they are attempt

Osborne said
For years the Teamsters union
has attempted to control Imperial
Valley residents by throttling theil

where they sell their products. We
resent their tactics and consider
them n-American, unfair, and par

The German air offensive was

Heavy rains were also reported

of rain fell in the valley wednesday

total rainfall since Jan. to 2.32
inches, as compared to 81 inches

The weatherman predicted at least
two more days of cloudiness and

They followed the lead of the
Imperial County Farm Bureau in
favoring the Imperial Riverside Or

on party registration, directors said,
Imperial county will hold the bal

Defense Tax on
WAGES Proposed

WASHINGTON, March 13. tUP)
Some members of the senate fl
nance committee today were con-
sidering a plan for a direct de-
fense tax of one to five per cent
on all wages of more than $50 a
week.
Senators studying such plan
said it would be a quick. inexpen-
sive tax to collect since the general
procedue of social security taxes
collection at the source-would be
used.
For example, if the tax were fixed
at five per cent, man getting $50
week would have $3.50 deducted
for defense before his check was
given to him.

Testifying on the $3,358, ,732 1856
naval appropriation bill for the fis-

publication today of committee
hearings to have discounted the
effect of strikes on the national de-
fense output.
"Out of something like 100000
workers, something like $4,000 or
$1,000 are out of work due to
strikes" he said in a survey of the
defense picture as of Feb. g. "There
are far fewer strikes than we had
a year ago, and they are but a small
fraction of what we had in 1917.

his objections to transferring more
naval vessels to Britain. After list
