CAN'T GIVE IT UP

San Bernardino Sun: The obstinacy
with which some Frenchmen cling to
their idea of pooling international debts
or otherwise unloading the cost of the
war upon the world at large, including,
Of course, the United States as their
chief burden bearer, is equaled only
by their fertility of Imagination in
proposing schemes for doing it. The
very latest has been sprung by "a
number of deputies in the chamber
who gravely propose that Germany IS
reparations obligations be trans
ferred to the league of nations which
shall thereupon emit an international
money upon that security and thereby
solve the entire problem.
The reparations credits allotted to
the allies would be transferred to the
.eague, which would establish an inter
national bank authorized to issue in
ternational money, which would be
livided among tac allies in proportion
20 their claims for rcparations. This
money, presumably, would then be of
fered to America for the debts owed by
Europe and we would be exactly where
it has been the desire of the promoters
of the debt pooling idea to place US.

One Minute Essay

Mason and Dixon's line is name
given TO the boundary line between
Pennsylvania and Maryland which was
surveyed in l763-1767 by Charles Mason
and jeremiah Dixon, civil engineers.
The survey was intended to settle bof-
der disputes between the two colonies
dating back to 1852. The survey ran
due west for 245 miles. At every mile
stone markers were placed, every fifth
stone bearing the arms of the Baltimore
anu Penn families. The line was resur.
vcycd in 1s19, but SO carefully had
original work been done 1t was not
found pccessary to make any changes.
During exciting debates in congress
in lS2VHon The question of admitting
Missouri as slave state, John Ran
dolph referred to " Mason and Dixon y
line - as a figurativc boundary line be-
tween free and slave territory! In the
Civil war the line was popularity sup
posed to separate Northern and Confed-
crate states.

VALLEY STUDY SUBJECT

The chamber of commerce is receiv-
ing numerous inquiries from schools in
all parts of California for. data relative
TO Imperial Valley, as a result of "a plan
adopted at a meeting of the county
school uperintendents of the state
early in the year, when it was pro-
posed that schools take up each coun-
ty, and make a special study of it as
the subject of a thesis. OF particular
interest among these Inquiries was that
IF Miss Ora Mott, formerly Of San
Diego, and at present student at the
University of California at Berkeley.
Miss Mott addressed the local chamber
Of commerce for information on I'm
perial Valley, stating that she was
making it the subject of a school paper.
Secretary Coyle supplied the necessary
Iata, and has received letter of
thanks from Miss Mott, stating that
her paper when completed will become
"a part of the records of the university
library.
Along different line Of inquiries,
the local chamber has received one
from i. r. Dalm of Anaheim, Cal, who
writes that he intends spending his
vacation in Imperial Valley and asks
for information, and another inquiry
from Joseph Sickler of Gencsco, H.,
stating that he plans to leave Illinois
with a party who intend locating in
Imperial Valley, and requests some ad
vance information regarding crops,
water supply and irrigation statistics.
Secretary Coylc has sent the necessary
booklets to both parties.

What Would You do?

DO you know what I sometimes
think L d like to do,'' man said to me
the other day, 81 think I'd like to take
what is left me of life; DOM know how
much it is but, say it s 80 years, and
have it spread out in five or even two
year periods, each one so years apart.
And then think of all l ID see of the
changes that are going to come to the
world.'
l don t suppose there are MANY of us
who, if it came right down to it. would
not be willing to do that with all the
sacrifice OF human ties it would mean
But oh, wouldn't t it be interesting! 1t
just thrills me to think about it.
Regulate Our Personalities?
Take the science of medicine for one
thing. At the present time, we seem to
be standing on the brink of a wonder
full new understanding of the causes of
physical and mental abnormality, erin
inality, bad, adjustment and disease,
through the action of the various duet
less glands Of the body. Already idiots
have been made into normal people by
stimulating the glands that have failed
to work properly. 1t seems as if mar
vels of control an dreadjustment were
going to be possible, as if man might
be the master of his personality and
his destiny Though what science is just
about to discover. Will it prove to be
so? If we came back in so years should
we find that glands had after all been
found to be less important and less
controllable than we now expect? Or
should we find that idiots and criminals
had been done away with and that the
world was populated with new race
of men, all possessing as high level
Of mental and physical energy as the
