Established 1855 NRA DO OUR PART AMONG OUR WITH SANFORD HUNT Though there has been no great amount of effort to cover it up, there is no report at the sheriff's office of the deliberate knocking over a woman in Scotts Valley a few nights ago and the fracturing of her skull. The lady was standing near the junction of the Scotts Valley highway and Felton road when some boys, it is believed, stepped up to her and gave her a shove. Her head in striking the ground was so badly fractured that it was split from the crown to her forehead and back to the nape of her neck. --0- The victim of the assault was found next morning lying on the ground alongside of the road and upon investigation it was learned that she was one of the staff of Dr. Camp's Brookdale lodge.

For over a year she has stood there at the Felton road junction employed in directing traffic to the Brookdale resort, and though struck once by an automobile, had never before lost minute's time. It is not yet known whether Dr. Camp went over to Scotts Valley to examine the body, but it is understood that Mayor Mepro of Scotts Valley, who is a bit of a physician, declared that the body received mortal wound the night she was struck and that there is not hope of reviving her. It may be possible, however, that Dr. Camp, more experienced than Mayor Mepro in surgery, will be able to bring her to life.

For after all she needs only a little fresh paint and her head, which is made of plaster, can perhaps be replaced. -0- Several weeks ago I mentioned! herein that there was a wooden Indian in front of a cigar store opposite the Ferry building in San Francisco. This was proved a statement by a Santa Cruzan later who went there, made a closer examination than did I and pronounced the redskin paper mache. Now I am told there is an honest-togoodness wooden one on Powell street, below Geary. You will note that I say "I am told." that I make no rash statement on my own hook concerning the redskin's bodily material.

My informer, when closely questioned on the matter, said that he was sure it was wood for he went up and tapped it. Tomorrow I may go up to the city and if I do I shall make a close inspection myself. To some readers that may seem a trival matter do bring up for discussion here, but real, honest -togoodness wooden Indians are becoming rare. There are probably today not nearly as many wooden ones as there are live, flesh and blood redskins, and certainly very few live ones as aged as the wooden ones. And the wooden ones take on added value, for some present very fine work in the wood carving art.

To possess in one's home a fine example of the wooden Indian is the desire of many collectors. though they represent not an early age in art as art and ages go, they are interesting relics of the times and perhaps represent the final period in the sculpturing of the human body in wood. And in that they represent some of the earliest sculpture of the world. Though unknown in early western Asiatic sculpture that with wood was common in Egypt and we have some fine examples preserved today. None of them, however, hold out to the passerby a box of cigars.

If the temperature behaves as well after every rain we have this winter as it did after that of last week we will have a season of early pasture growth. The year before last when we had a rainy season which began early, growth was slow for each rainfall was followed by low temperatures. Grass grew fast last week. Plenty of rain and warm, sunny days between is what we want, Mr. Burton, from you and the rest of the weather bureau.

The quartet had visited the East Side establishment at 6:45, robbed the register of $15. and disappeared.

At 7 o'clock they repeated their performance at the Grandview Service Station at Branciforte and Water street, where they took $30 after holding up the manager.

Desk Sargeant Elmer Geyer procured a number of fingerprints from the car which may aid in identifying the robbers. The robberies constituted about the fastest work ever recorded in local police annals and indicated a well prepared plan of attack. The two men who did the robbing were described as tall, slender, of dark complexion, one being headed and called "Tony" while each weighed in the neighborhiid of 150 pounds.

Chief of Police Al Huntsman believes the jub was the work of amateurs and that they have not left Santa Cruz. The robbers' car almost drove the (Continued on page 2) minutes longer.

Featured by a multitude of local questions, prohibition repeal today comes before the voters of six states, in what promises to be the decisive test of whether the constitution shall retain its anti-liquor provision. More than a fifth of the nation's population live in the six states that are voting on repeal -Pennsylvania, Ohio, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky and Utah. Of the local issues chief attention centers on the three cornered mayoral contest in New York city in which is involved whether Tammany Hall continue its domination. Administration leaders -expressed confidence that the day's voting would signal the end of their campaign for repeal. They viewed Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Kentucky as virtually certain to add their vote to the 33 states which already have voted for repeal and said there was little doubt Ohio and North Carolina would do likewise.

They were less certain about Utah. The votes of only three of the states which ballot today are needed to wipe out the 18th amendment. In the 33 which have so far voted the result has been the 11,329,190 for repeal and 3,735,657 against. The New York mayoral election is regarded as having implications of importance to the administration. TO CALL.
