The treaties provide for the establishment of tri-

This bespeaks period of peaceful development hither
to unknown in those turbulent regions
Like the Balkans in Europe, the Balkans of Am

quarrels bad in themselves and made by the dan

much for the peace of the western hemisphere

these treaties, brawling Europe could find profitable

GIRL ATHLETES

1t is surprising in this proathletic world to read
that there is growing sentiment in France against
athletic sports for girls and and that the posi-
tion is backed to considerable extent by medical au-
thorties in this country.
According to article in American Medicine
women's sports, which of comparatively recent
ate in France were hailed at first as the means for
strengheng the feminine physique and thereby fitting
women more fully for their duties, particularly as the
mothers of the French However after the last
Olympic contests in Paris, the tide of French favor
turned the other way. Onlookers who saw the COM
pete exhaustion of participants in the various events
felt that, rather than tending to build the body up,
such srenuousness tends to break it down. In so far
exercise is carried to extremes the writer IN Medi
cine" thinks the French are right
There would be more for alarm in France or
elsewhere If larger percentage of the Trailer took
part IN athletic contests subectng the body to violent
strain. Against the few girls who thus over
indulge in athletics there great ority by which
regular exercise and moderate indulgence in sports
daily is bringing womanhood to peak of fitness pre-
viousy unknown
1t is unfortunate that the over-ambitious few do
themselves harm. 1t would be far more unfortunate
if mistaken prejudice should interfere with the health
bringing activities of the many.

THE VALUE OF PULLING TOGETHER

There never has been time and it is not possible
that there time when it is not highly
essential that every valley interest should do its
most for the common good.
Our local problems of unusual magnitude
They cannot be solved except in spirit of harmony
1t not to be expected that there will always or per-
haps ever be, universal agreement But it is worth
while to cultivate the habit of agreeing to disagree.
This kind of community life is certain to make
community progress It averts dvsve strife and fac
tlona schisms, all of which reard development
1t this relation public interests to which the
Press committed itself unreservedly when came into
its present ownership The need of such amicabe atti
tude then apparent and it still is and the Press
deems the present suitable time restate it's policy
in the pursuance of which it may have lapsed some
what at divers times. What this newspaper wishes to
do is to continually regard Imperial Valley as whole
and to avoid cliques factions and personalities 1t will
not avoid evade discussion of issues but this will be
done without pique or prejudice to individuals.
No daggers need be trust into anyone Declaring
the truth is quite sufficient If this proves derogatory
to individuals it is merely an unavoidable incident If
it is commendatory to them, so much the better and
vastly more agreeable.
In our efforts to put this great valley where it
belongs and toward which it destined we can all af
ford to adopt and adhere to the motto Malice toward
zone and charity for ALL"
