HUNGERFOLLOWS | N STRIES WAKE Starvation Faced by Families in Mexico After Rail Walkout. By the Associated Press. NOGALES, Ariz, July 13.—A pitiful story of hundreds of families facing starvation as the result of the pro-| longed strike of employes of the| Southern Pacific of Mexico Railroad | spurred efforts here today to restore | transportation facilities. | Since employes walked out more than two weeks ago in protest against wage cuts. the west coast of Mexico has been | without transportation facilities. cutting off many towns from their food supply. Reports brought here said provisions in | many of the small villages have been completely exhausted. Story of seeing a family eating the meat of a dog, and seeing burros killed in some villages for food, was told by Edmund Pissater, a fruit grower from Mazatlan, Mexico, who made the trip out of Mexico by automobile and horse- back. He described residents on the west coast as in ‘“‘desperate circum- stances | Reports of deaths from starvation at- tributed to the strike were denied by Dolores Moreno, president of the Noga- les (Sonora) Chamber of Commerce. “There has been considerable discom- fort as a result of the strike,” he said, “but to date no actual deaths have been rted due to starvation.” effort to terminate the as yet unsuccessful strike, business leacers | urged officials of the railroad and rep- resentatives of the strikers to get to- gether at once. Fears were expressed many deaths may result among those now in need of food if the walkout is prolonged. THE EVENING Beauty Envoy REPRESENTS U. S. IN INTER- NATIONAL PAGEANT. | Of Douglaston, N.

CHICAGO, July 13.—A determined paralyzed Chicago finances during the | the verge of poverty, is getting under way here. Forces of the law, which in the past have tended to be sympathetic with tax | they could wield, finally are being mebilized for attack. The objective is to collect a large proportion of the $200.000,000 in tax delinquencies. Officials threaten to offer for sale at, the end of this month 600,000 parcels of real estate, representing nearly one-half of the property in this countv with an | assessed value of nearly four billions of dollars, to meet past-due taxes. Association Is Probed. At the same time, the State’s attorney is launching an investigation of the as- sociation of real estate taxpavers. the organization sponsoring the local tax strike. The ccunty attorney has just rendered an opinion that taxpayers’ as- | sociations violate the criminal con- spiracy act. And the countv judge ruled that he would not consider any | tax bill protested unless the propert owner pays at least 60 per cent of the ax. School teachers with over $20.000,000 due them in back saleries, faced with the prospect of closed schools in the Fall. unless action is teken, are threat- ening to name and to boycott property owners who fail to pay taxes.

There were rumors this week that West Park police had gone on a strike, after serving without calary for the greater part of the pres- ent yvear. This was denied, but ad- mittedly service has been curtailed and there is evidence that city workers may walk out one of these days unless paid for the work they do. Uncertainty over legality of past tax levies, and powerful influence wielded by some of the larger taxpayers, have caused officials to be lax with taxpay- ers in the past. As a result, taxes of | more than $200,000,000 are delinquent, | with the 1931 taxes unlevied. That means over $450,000,000 in Trevenue, which normally would be available for operating the city, now is unpaid. Officials, however, are beginning to | show an interest in solution of the local financial ~difficulties by collection of taxes levied. In the past two years it has been almost impossible to get bids on property offered at tax sales. With | half of the property in this county now | facing sale, citizens are wondering what sort of bids will be received. (Copyright, 1932) tax GIANT U. S.

Halitosis is indeed the unforgivable social fault. halitosis (bad breath) Everybody suffers How do you know that at this very minute your breath is not disagreeable? Remember that approximately six out of ten people have halitosis, occasionally or chron- ically. Do you know why? Because halitosis is most frequently caused by tiny bits of fermenting food, skipped by the tooth brush. Why risk offending others? Why not keep your breath always beyond reproach? Why not be the fastidious person that your friends expect you to be? The sure way Don’t rexpect cheap, ordinary, evil-tasting mouth- washes to end halitosis. Many have no deodorant effect whatever. For quick, certain, pleasant results use Listerine. For half a century physicians have prescribed this safe antiseptic because of its marked germicidal and de- odorant power. Listerine cleanses, refreshes, and in- vigorates the mouth—and its taste is pleasant.
