David Imet Trewltt, employed on the
Trippett ranch In Santa Yn can

Deputy Sheriff E. H. Carroll said
Trewltt told of trying to stamp out
the fire, only to have It race over
brush lands.
The destructlveness of fire near
the Pacific was equalled If not ex

above San Bernardino. 60 miles east
of Los Angeles, which razed the $750.-

guests. Including the Rite brothers
of comedy fame, reached safety.
The Las Casltas night club nearby
and more than a score of mountain
homes were destroyed, the fire
spreading out over 3,600 acres. Fin

the region.
Thousand Fighters
The blaze, witnesses said, started
at the very crest of Strawberry peak,
ate through timber and brush, leap

and sped down the mountainside.
One thousand men, conscripted
from WPA lists and private citizenry.
feverishly worked on a firebreak to
stop the flames from advancing onJ

Arrowhead.
The direction and force of winds
today held the answer whether the

had struck southern California. A
score of separate blazes were fought

MEXICO CITY ( UP ) The Mexi
can government, in the fourth year of
President Lozaro Cardenas' program
6f social and economic readjustment
Is struggling to force down the cost
of living.
This Is the second year of severe
depression In Mexico a depression
which the opposition blames on Car
denas' socialistic measures and which
the government blames on past ex
ploitation of the nation.
Wages have gone up. but the cost
of living has gone still higher. A
series or crop failures added to the
distress. Beans cost four times as
much as they did five years ago.
Substitutes for food staples have
been introduced in many households.
But there Is an old proverb that
"Mexicans starve slowly." This year ,
crops are improved. The government ,
has been importing wheat, beans, and
rice and subsidizing the Imports of
both beans and rice In an effort to
force prices down for the food that
the poor man must buy. Hope I:
expressed In government quarters
that Mexico will not be forced to lm- '
port corn this year.
"Times are mighty hard," most
Mexicans say. "but we went through
worse during the revolution." (
"During one of my campaigns," :
Gen. Ramon F. Iturbo recently told
this correspondent, "my reglmefit !
went 40 whole days eating only n
thinly diluted corn gruel yet they
fought and didn't complain. That
doesn't happen everywhere." I
The wage Increases labor obtained 1
in 1035 and 1936 contributed to In
crease commodity prices. This in turn
caused real wages to go down. At
first this was not notlcrablo. but !
there was a sudden skyrocketing of
food prices In 1037. (
Tho Confederation of Mexican
Workers at one time threatened to
stage a general strike seeking 50 per
cent wage Increases to compensate
for the new price scales, but the gov
ernment persuaded It to dismiss such
a thought. ,
Even the department of education
ordered all. teachers to lecture on the
"people's struggle against the high
cost of living."
