ing received a warm welcome.
They perform very gracefully
. number of stunts decidedly novel
and out Of the ordinary, and 1t is
not surprising at all that they
have have been hailed as the fore
most dancers Of France. Never.
theless, Washington has seen
within the past year two other
dancing acts. one English and one
American, that may very fairly
be compared with these stars.
Dancing styles differ, naturally,
with nationality and the tempera-
ment and trai ring Of the artist,
but there Is no reason to believe
dancers equal to any that France
can offer.
Jimmy Lucas has the most spon-
taneous and amusing act on the
entire bill. He is a master Of
travesty, and his able assistant.
Frarlcene, plays UP to him ad-
mirably. Not since Joe Cook was
in town. at least, has this burg
seen anything equal to the high
spots Of his Vampires and Fools"
offerings. The dramatization Of
The Sheik," with original explana-
tons by Lucas, Is one Of the most
screamingiy funny things that has
shown here in a long time.
Talented Edna Aug presents q
new act, with an able company in
which James Moore is featured. Its
title is Day Dreams" and 1t pro-
vides an excellent setting for the
scrubwoman speciality in which she
has become known over American
vaudeville circuits. There are good
comedy values in the act, and op.
portunity for interesting charac-
ter studies. Miss Aug has a most
fitting vehicle.
Ben WEIGH, whose long and
faithful service as q purveyor of
amusement has endeared him to
multitudes, returns this week in a
sketch, Pals" in which he is as
sisued by Frank p. Murphy. Ben Is
popular here, and won q most
gratifying welcome last night.
Laura Pierpont and her players
give a little sketch revolving
about the mortgage on the old
home and introducing most If
the time-honored dramatic de-
vices except the grand old flag.
Nevertheless, the playlet does
what it Is designed to do, and
that in a rather clever way-it
gives Miss Pierpont a chance to

effective way.

WORTHY OF SUPPORT

The md-winter products show which has been con-
ceived and made reality by the publicsprited people
of Brawley is deserving of every encouragement and
could well be thought of annual institution. Some
thing of this needed focus attention upon the
fact that Imperial Valley is great winter garden
well as a summer hot house. We shall see the time
when the mid-winter yield from soil is equal to
that of the summer it, indeed not much great
err and Brawley is the right track in attempting to
direct attention to this fact through the visible evidence
rof commodities produced.
The thing which Brawey is stressing this week
could we'll have behind it the full force of Imperial
Valley enterprise and aggressiveness. There is moth
ing more important and perhaps nothing quite as
important as the development of winter
products industry 1t is not to be thought of subs
tute for the good old dairy industry to dspace
production of the staples which along at another
time of the year The winter vegetable business need
not do this though it mature to It's highest posi-
bilties but there is strong appeal in business which
yields the products of summertime at a season when
most of the country is lying under mantle of snow
and offers such peculiar advantages and extraordn
airy opportunities that losing sight OF something
if we fail to take full advantage of it.
And so let Ell Centre and Calexico and all Imper-
ia Valley support the BraWley idea of winter pro-
ducts show. Let do that materially we'll in
theory and give visible expression to all this by
presence in person All these things work together in
harmony for good. All finding their place under
sane and enlightened leadership and all are conribut
ing to the abundance and the magnifcence of the
era before us.

MILLIONS OF LIVES SAVED

1t NAV mean nothing to the average citizen to
learn from the Census Bureau that the death rate in
the United States last year 11.6 per 1000. Mr..
Citizen however, begins to take notice when Informed
that this is a record. He becomes really interested
when he finds out that about the time firsvOters
were born it was the regular thing for 176 persons
of every 1000 to die during the year. Here is net
gain of six lives per thousand per year.
Now apply that to the whole population. There
are more than 100000000 people in the country but
call il that number Then last year, there 100000
lives saved that would have passed out in 1900. That
100000 lives saved in decade, and 100000
in generation of 80 years More, really, for the saw
ing is compounded.
Is that worth while? Ask any Of the nations bled
white by the big war. Ask the family of any person
whose life has been preserved through the higher un
Outstanding of the present day.
There has been steady progress in this life-saving
right along for several decades, broken only in 1918
with death rate of 1871 per 1000 1t is reasonable to
expect continued progress BY 1880 the rate should be
only half of what it was when the century began.
