The Time for Odd Jobs

IT'S refreshing to turn for moment from
war and rumors of war. from cotton en-
bargoes and financial depression, from things
purely commercial and political, to consider
what needs to be done about the house.
That man who owns the roof over his head
when he sees fall in the offing, begins to
think. about little painting here and there,
a few shutters that need fixing a leak in
the basement wall to be cemented, porch to
be repaired ready for spring painting. Most
men, of course, play Arkansaw Traveller with
their houses; but the wise one who takes
stock of his place every year will put money
in his pocket.
In'communities like Richmond, where there
are many frame houses little domestic
economy of this type pays big dividends.
One of the remarkable things about a house
is that when 1t starts going to pieces, it acts
like the famous one-hoss shay and suddenly
dlsintegrates The only insurance against
this is the stitch in time, the little hammer
and saw and box Of nails and screws About
ten minutes day would do wonders.

Controlling Adventures

THE United States government has warned
avators along the Canadian line not
to cross that line, lest they be fired upon.
This is, in effect disclaimer of response
bility for any act of an aviator who ventures
beyond our borders on the north.
Air travel and the adventurous spirit of
individuals brings up a delicate question.
Can the government control movements Of
such adventures? Wouldn't it be good
idea to bring all American aviators at once
into formal body, pledged solemnly to obey
every order of the State Department issued
for diplomatic reasons? Wildcat scouting
aloft might not involve the administration,
and then again 1t might. In any event
wanderers on the air lanes need more than
a mere caution to make their control certain
and there should be not the slightest doubt
of their intentions when they fly.

It Is wise and proper that the armory OF a
military command shall not be devoted to
every passing purpose. and sound policy UNI
questtonably demands that the military pur-
poses to which the building is dedicated shall
not suffer substantial interference. There is
an essential difference, however, between a
poultry show or other exhibition that Is to
continue for week and a ball which lasts
a single night. There Is difference, in de-
gree, but in enormous degree, between the
ordinary charity, of sectarian or other
limited scope, and this heart-rending appeal
from the victims of the worlds greatest and
most devastating war.
There Is, moreover. real proprety in this
proposed use Of "a military armory for an en-
tertainment In behalf of the Red Cross or
ganized to heal the wounds and soften the
pangs that military force infiicts.
1t is not too late for the Administrative
Board to change its decision. On reflection,
it will be hoped, those members who voted
to deny the appeal will realize their error
and determine to rectify it. 1t will be unlike
Richmond If they persist in course so un-
fortunate and SO mistaken.

LiabiIity OF n Minor

Please tell me whether minor is liable after

The law Is designed to protect the minor
from imposition by older and presumably
shrewder persons, not convert him into a
bird of prey, sustaining himself at the expense
OF others. Hence, while in many cases no
action might lie against minor for debt in
other cases he might be held liable The quest

full facts are rarely given, because the querist

COTTON BALL ATTRACTS
UNUSUAL ATTENTION
Vote California Dry

The Los Angeles Times thus tells
of a cotton ball in that city:
Gaiety will reign in the cottony
kingdom tomorrow night, un-
der the scepters of King and Queen
Cotton, the subjects Of the realm, from
Cotton Marquisette down to Cotton
Batting, will meet to trip the light
frantistic at the Cotton Ball to be
given at Kramer's by the Dixie Club.
Only such pests as Gun Cotton, who
lately has conspired to upset the
kingdom, and old Boil Weevil, who is
always a nuisance, will be barred at
the festival Of joyousness, which sew
eral hundred persons are expected to
attend
The dance, the first given by the
Dixie Club this season. is for the pur-
pose of promoting the consumption Of
cotton. A telegram was received yes
terday from Miss Genevieve Clark by
Mrs. Ella Swickard, secretary of the
club, thanking the organization for
it's cooperation in urging American
women to use more cotton, and there
by aid the stricken industry, and
wishing success to the cotton ball.
King and Queen Cotton at the dance
are to be respectively John D. Reavis
and Miss Grace H. Culbert, the lat
ter native daughter. Her costume
will be typical of the occasion. She
will have a purple cotton robe of state,
with raw cotton borders, and on her
head will rest crown of raw cotton.
Cotton bolls will take the place of jew
els. The California product will be
used throughout.
Miss Belva Allen is to wear cubist
cotton costume made from the Impe-
rial Valley product, presented to her
by the California Cotton Mills Com
pany of Oakland. Mrs. Marie Rus
sell of Ell Centre, a member of the
reception committee, will have a pink
and white cotton costume, and Mrs
Swickard homespun cotton dress.
Secretary Wiggins of the Chamber
Of Commerce will lend the bale of
cotton he recently purchased to the
Dixie Club as decoration for the
evening. Another feature will be the
spinning wheel which won a gold
medal at the California State Fair a
few weeks ago. The program will be
prettily decorated with the likeness of
a stem of growing cotton.
The reception committee is made up
of Robert l.. Summerlin, Tracy Chat
