REPUBLICANS WIN ELECTION; MANY REVOLTS ' (CONTINUEDFROM PAGE ONE) Extremist factions suffered crushiing defeats in most sections, the i election returns indicated. Comimunists made little progress and the monarchists, on whom Alfonso XIII. exiled monarch, had said he would rest his hopes of returning to the throne, were unable to make more than a very weak showing. Malaga. Spain. June 29.—<U.R>— A 'general strike was called here toI day in protest against yesterday's I riots during the elections for dele (gates to the constitutional assembly. The authorities took precautions 'to maintain order. Heavy patrols guarded the streets. Violence threatened as the general strike got under way. Groups of laborers paraded through the streets toning shops and cases to close. Newspapers were unable to publish. I There were a number of minor disturbances which the police quickly quelled, charging the demonstrators and ordering them to remain orderly and calm. . 0 — HEAT DEATHS MORE TH AN 200 (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) i alone totalled more than 60. Indi- ' ana had 22 fatalities and other I states reported proportionate numI bers of victims. Accident injuries and deaths increased alarmingly as thousands of motorists sought relief on highways from the heat. Oats and other grain crops shriveled under the blazing sun and farmers did their early season harvesting by moonlight to escape the heat. Agricultural experts said that corn and other crops will be damaged unless rain is 1 forthcoming soon. of more than 100 degrees in some sections caused highways to buckle and take on the appearrnce of having been ; permanent-waved. Scores of i horses died from the heat in midI west fields. I A high mark of 100 degrees was i predicted again today for Chicago. Temperatures in the middle 90s will be not unusual, it was predicted. and the record of 113 degrees set Sunday at Yuma. Arte., j may be equalled by cities in sevirj al states. Among high temperatures rei ported to the United Tress includi ed 108 at Huron. S.D., and 104 at Bismarck. N D Birmingham, Al-i., and Rapid City, S.D.: 102 at Omaha. Neb., Peoria, 111., Charles City, la., Minneapolis. Minn.. St. Louis, Mo., and a long list of other cities. Pierre, S.D., reported 110 degrees. That the extreme heat is causing a great increase in frazzled nerves and short tempers was recognized bv legal authorities in several cities. One Chicago judge refused to punish persons who got into arguments with fellow motorists, neighbors or members of their own families. o Damr.ge Done by Rats A few years ago the biological survey made an estimate Hint rats destroyed fc-UHMKHMM) worth ot crops and stored prodm ts In th< United States. This amount doe» not take into account the large ; amount expended In un effort to j combat them. Food and grain in due tries suffer most from rodents It Is not possible to say which one of the food and grain industries suffers the most, since the same breed of gray ruts differ In tlieii food habits. In the same locality tli<y may be carnivorous or vege tarlan. o Cosmetics Long in Use The knowledge of cosmetics dates back to remote antiquity and their vnnals comprise the history of the folly, luxury anil extravagance of past ages. The number of simple and compound substances employed as frerfuines Is Imnlculable ' and almost fabulous and the books written by Egyptians. Greeks and Romans on the subject almost con- | ttltute a library In themselves.
