LOS ANGFELES, July 10.—Califor- nia, the “promised land” to thou- sands of indigents from other areas, 18 moving to avert a serious reliel erisis, as well as the menace of pos- sible epidemics from diseased, mi- grant hordes. Los Angeles County Supervisor Gordon McDonough said & Califor- nia relief conference would be held here the week of July 19 with Gov. Merriam It will consider reports this county is dangerously overbur- dened and at least 70,000 persons, mostly families from the dust-ridden areas of the Southwest, are in des- perate straits in San Joaquin Val- ley—many starving and dying of dis- ease. McDonough made public a memo- randum yesterday showing 19.36 per cent of this county's estimated popu- lation of 2,366,904 is on relief.

Hawthorne once ironically pre- scribed & universal slumber as the only cure for the world's overstrained nerves: “This is the only method of getting rid of the old delusions and avoiding new ones—of regenerating the race so that it might, in due time, awake as an infant out of dewy slumber—of restoring the simple con- ception of what is right and the single-hearted desire to achieve it.” T S S No Picketing on Wash Day. CRUCIBLE, Pa. (#).—The Union Label League, woman's organisation, called off its picket lines until Tuesday. The women had been helping picket the Crucible Steel Co.'s mine.
