IN SOCIETY
Salton Sea Picnic.

A jolly crowd gathered for a picnic
at Salton sea last Sunday, on the
large cool grounds on Mullett island,
which Captain Davis has fitted up
with shade, tables, etc, for the pleas
ure and benefit of the public. The
captain was very courteous and kind,
taking all the visitors into his delight
full little home to view the many
specimens he has gathered and the
beautiful paintings which he has
made of the surrounding scenery. The
various colored paints he has used
were gathered from the rocks found
on the islands nearby and mixed with
oil obtained from the fish of Salton
sea. The pictures are fine and must
be seen to be appreciated. When this
resort is fully completed, as the cap
tain plans, Imperial Valley will have
a resort that will be cool, resful and
beneficial, as one can have the soft
salt air and lovely mountain view,
and with launches and boats avail

NO LONDONERS
IN MAYFL0WER
(By Associated Press)

London, April Is (By maiD-If
there are in England any descendants
of the little band of Pilgrims who
sailed in the Mayflower 298 years
ago, they are difficult to discover.
An American woman living in London
has been trying to find them, and
with that object she inserted adver-
tisements asking any "Mayflowers"
now in London to meet her at a ho-
tel at certain hour.
The appointed hour came and the
American woman waited. A motion
picture photographer, several news
paper photographers an da dozen re-
porters arrived and were mistakenly
and enthusiastically greeted as May
flowers. There was an air of eager
expectancy and suppressed excite
'ment. Everybody waited for As min
utes, but not a single Mayflower ap-
peared. There were signs Of disap-
pointment.
"But there must be some Mayflow-
ers in London" said the American
woman to the reporters. 81 can't be
the only one"
She looked again at the door, but
there was no sound of footsteps and
the meeting adjourned.

"All that is required is that she must
hae one year of regular college work
in a college granting an A. B. de-
gree. If there are any such women
in the city, they are invited to at
tend the picnic, providing, of course,
that they join US that day, and if
they will notify Mrs. D. o. Robinson
at the High School or Mrs. H. w.

London, April II (By mail)-Twe
principal recommendations which the
Civilian Commission now in Palestine
will make as a beginning for the re.
construction of that country will be
a scheme for beginning afforsetation
and a proposal for the conservation
of water supply by storage and by
opening up old springs.
A preliminary statement from q
member of the committee says:
"The greatest of all Palestine's
needs is afforestation. For centuries
the land has been denuded of it's trees
with most disastrous consequences
for the heavy rains at certain sea
sons, instead of benefiting the soil
over more than four-fifths of the area
carry away in rushing torrents much
of the little soil that remains on the
high lands and valley slopese.
palestine has not always been
treeless. The Roman emperors had
valuable forests in the country, and
Absalom, riding, was caught by the
hair among the trees, but today one
might gallop from Dan to Beersheeba
without having to duck ones head to
avoid a branch.
"Trees of rapid growth will be
planted and for the more cultivable
districts fruit bearing trees will be
utilized.
"The storage of water in laks and
reservoirs is comparatively simple in
Palestine. BY erecting small dams
across certain wadys, series of small
reservoirs can be constructed at lit
tie expense, creating a supply that
will last throughout the dry season.
In Southern Palestine hundreds of
natural springs can be opened up
which centuries of misrule have been
allowed to choke up and fall into dis
use. j.,

WE. OVER here, get the horrors of
w war, but the boys who face its
dangers get some of the glory, too. Risks
are forgotten and most of them never
hard to understand the fears of rela-
tives, the reluctance Of those who love
them to see them go into danger, the
doubts entertained ever by those who
gladly sacrifice them for service, hat
/ they will ever return. Even though our
boys see horrors on the battleflelds that
can only be suggested to us, we suffer
far more in imagination.
Scott Raymond never thought of per-
sonal danger. On the day when his
company had marched to within hearing

had given no thought to the gruesome-
ness of it all. 1t had been an evening

| silences. The men had marched in
silence as the day had begun to close
In. and then suddenly, as though the
evening breeze had waited it toward
them, began a constant rumble that
was enough to strike awe into any one's
soul. Scott felt instead, fierce one
minute and sorrowful the next, but never
afraid. 1t simply did not occur to him
to feel fear.
One of his company. a country boy
from Ohio. had turned to Scott at the
ominous sound. and the expression ir
both pairs of eyes was a vow. In fact
the silence was prophetic. for it has
been said that no man realizes war ant
its meaning until he hears for the frs
time the rumbling of the guns.

and two other men had started out or
