There is no more entertaining sport than studying

WHEN TRAFFIC HfNDERS TRADE

For year city merchants have been blessing the au

their doors. The greater range of private transpora
ton has increased their selling and volume of
sales. AS advertising has been extended to attract
patrons from afa it has been observed that most of
them came in their

ginning turn the other way For the multiplication
of automobiles has so jammed the business sections
with traffic lines and parked that visitors find it
harder and harder to find place to stop in the shop

this regular blockade, that the visitors drive away

or where there is less traffic difficulty
This particular trade problem has arisen far,
a rule, only in the larger cities But. it is developing
rapidly in smaller cities that have not forseen the peril

and do everything possible to facilitate motor traffic.

THE LADIES, GOD BLESS EN-!

So wrote Editor Edgar F. Howe in the Imperial

changed somewhat since then and can't welcome
returning holiday makers thus enthusiastically by name

Red Cross to Aid
The Red Cross, through its ma
tional headquarters was preparing
today to cable funds for purchase
of relief supplies, including food,
medicines and clothing
All relief measures, however,
were hampered by the lack of
definite information. Officials were
entirely dependent on press dis
patches for their news. When these
showed the terrible extent Of the
disaster, acting Secretary of State
Phillips called at the Japanese en-
bassy to express his condolences to
the Japanese government and people
through their ambassador here. He
also sent a message to the Japanese
prince regent through the American
ambassy in Toxic, which on ac-
count of the interruption of COM
munications may never arrive.
President Coolidge today sought
information and was given United
Press dispatches telling of the des-
truction and death caused by the
quakes and fires.

KNITTING

There is revival of the ancient and honorable art
of knitting 1t is not great the revival that
during the war when everybody knitted for the sold
ers but is general enough to keep lot of feminine
hands busy
The movement has arrived at the state of state and
national knitting contests and prestige has been lent
to it by the entrance of the Presidents wife in of
the big competitions Mrs. Coolidge is said to be
knitter of much prowess as befits Of her
ancestry and especially who is said still to follow
her established custom of darning her husbands
socks II may be that she really knts socks for the
President.
That sort of thing is dubbed "reactionary by many
of our modern women 1t may be But surely If
women are going return to knitting at all, they may
as we'll knit something useful. And knitting hus-
bands socks might conceivably do much for the
storation of the good old American home as Of
the remedies the feminists are advocating.
And if women return to knitting husbands socks,
will husbands return to wearing that kind?

But after Baby Bunty had gone
to mail her invitation later, Uncle

Drug Dispensers
Must Register

According to a survey made Sat
urday by Collector of Internal Rev
cnuc Rex Goodcell, covering regis
trants who hold permits under the
Federal government to manufac-
ture, dispense and use narcotics in
the ten southern counties of Califor
MIA, it was found that there are
practically 5000 registrants of all
classes in this district.
1t was disclosed by this report
that there are in the Sixth District
of California Approximately 273
delinquent registrants who have
failed to file the necessary return
and receive authorization for the
manufacture and administration of
narcotics under the Harrison Mar
cotic Act, as against 600 at this
time last year, a decrease in the
number of delinquents of 60 per
cent.
Collector Goodcell warned such
delinquents that the mere fact that
they held no narcotics in their pos
session did not relieve them from
the necessity of properly register
ing, and that if they retained any
order forms for narcotics, issued by
the Internal Revenue Department,
and failed to register, or to return
same to the department for can
collation., they held such form il
legally and rendered themselves
liable to the penalties under the
Harrison Narcotic Act.
A list of all delinquents who have
failed to register or to properly ac-
count for order forms for narcotics
held by them is being prepared in
Collector Goodcell's office, and the
entire field force of the Internal
Revenue Department is shortly to
be released to check up delinquent
registrants who should have quail
fled not later than July !, and TO
enforce the provisions of the act.
Inasmuch as a penalty of $4,000
or a term of Imprisonment of five
years, or both, may be imposed up
on violators of the narcotic laws,
Collector Goodcell strongly urges
those who have not made the neces
sary accounting of order forms and
narcotics to do so at once and avoid
liability to the penalties which may
attach.

Leave Satisfied

Water users from the vicinity of

of the Imperial Irrigation District
to protest against the new tax rate
of $5 levied by the board, heard
an explanation by Director Rose,
setting fourth the reasons for the
change in rate apparently were sat
isfied with the statement. The BrawN
lev residents drifted into the meet
ing in little groups and after hear
ing the board S side of the case
discussed the matter among them
selves. There was no crystalizcd
opposition to the directors evident,
and all the discussions were along
harmonious lines.
The directors adjourned until to-
morrow or Friday, depending upon
the return of Congressman Swing
and the Rev. George A. Hartman
who have been in Washington as
representatives of the district at
the conference on the power rights
of the Colorado river. A telegram
received from these men last week
statd they would be home Thursday,
or Friday of this week and suggest
ed meeting with the directors.
