“BREAD FRUIT TREES”
MENTIONED IN BIBLE
„ THRIVE IN CALIFORNIA
GRIDLEY, Cal., Sept. 10 (by Associ
ated Press).—Two carob trees, on
the ranch of J. A. Yoacum, Jr., near
here, are the same as those spoken
of in the Bible as “breadfruit tree,”
according to a report received by
Yoacum from the United States de
partment of agriculture. The depart
ment’s report, sent in answer to a
query from Yoacum, said that al
though there were several carob
trees in this country, none were of
the same variety as those found on
the Yoacum ranch. The fruit of the
tree, it said, was really a “bean.”
DIPLOMATS RECEIVE
* BOOST IN SALARY
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 10 (by Associ
1 ated Press).—Because of the in
creased cost of living throughout the
world, the Mexican government has
decided to raise the salaries of its
diplomatic representatives abroad 50
per cent. This increase will affect
both legation and consular employes.
Hereafter diplomatic appointments
will be signed by officials of the for
eign office instead of by the presi
dent, as heretofore. New appointees
will be required to proceed to their
respective posts within 30 to 60 days.
This latter reform has been intro
duced, it is said, because in the past
many diplomats have shown a ten
^ dency to linger at home while they
were drawing full pay.
DAINTY BATHING SUITS
‘ SOILED BY CRUDE OIL
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Crude oil refuse, said
to have been dumped by a refinery,
coated the surf of the Pacific ocean

Owners of the soiled apparel found

the tarry accumulation was keresene.
‘Either way, the refinery wins,” re
mark one fair bather.
