By subscribing to, and therefore, (By H. M. L.) & Congress, especially the New Deal membership, is a trifle embarassed. Nine hundred ragged hunger marchays ago. Congress remembers when a somewhat larger army of-veterans marched into Washington and camp-ed during the Hoover administration, and all the embarrassment that event entailed. Millions of employed scattered through the country can pe ignored, or at least treated abstractly, but a few hundreds marchring on Washington remind Congress _of historical precedents. There was for instance the bread demanding mob-of Paris, that initiated the] French Revolution. It is extremely painful to the New Dealers to be reminded by 900 personal witnesses that the New Deal has not yet lived up to its high pretensions and to see these hunger marchers camped on their doorstep as was that. other army in Hoover’s time. + i It has come at last. The odorless cabbage. A Cornel professor who has spent six years in his laboratories growing various’ kinds of cabbage, made this startling and welcome announcement a few days ago at a conference of scientific men. Now if some savant will only get busy and take the tears out of onions! i i As long as college youth throughout the land was content to confine their satiric performance to the organization called ‘‘Veterans of Future Wars’, a great majority of the Americans probably conceded that this was a first rate method of bringing home to their elders the futility and folly of wars.

Likewise all fire-fighting apparatus from these places, principally forest service equipment, designed for fighting forest and brush fires, was brought here. The fire started in the faiephetts office, presumably from a defective flue. All of the buildings destroyed or damaged were built of wood. Downieville is one of the truly historic towns of northern California. It is the county seat of Sierra and dates back to the gold rush days. Rolland Wright and Dr. Carl Jones in the latter’s Volpee plans flew over the site of the conflagras tion yesterday morning. Wright re ported that the fire was apparently ‘SPRING IS HERE AND THE NUDIST OF LAKE VERA CAVORTS AGAIN Spring is here, and how well Deputy Sheriff Bill Woods knows it! For each spring moved by the vernal season and the spirit of Pan, a tall and wide gentleman, who resides somewhere in the vicinity of Lake Vera, discards his clothing and dances and prances through the woods. Last spring Woods made two trips out to Lake Vera looking for this nudist. The days were warm and the chase was long, and, as it turned out, futile. Occasionally Woods would hear a loud: ‘‘Hee-hee”’ uttered derisively from the deep forest or the dense chapparel, but it was nothing to take hold of and arrest. The party in the birthday suit. . . unencumbered so to speak, could run ecireles around the deputy in under control at about 11 o’clock and that the St. Charles Hotel, which was at first reported to have been ‘damaged had apparently escaped.

The total number of men employed today, according to reports from the many operating properties is 2,522 and the payroll tops $353,000 per month. There has been some shifting among mine executives in the past month. Newmont company has transferred E. R.

Thomas Coan formerly of the Hus: sey has been made superintendent of the Rising Sun mine near Colfax, of the Grass Valley District.
