Attitude Toward
Heat is Mental,
Boosters Opinion

"Where in the world could you
find such glorious morning as
this7'' exclaimed happy Young
mother of FL Centre yesterday.
And she was right. Imperial Valley
has perfect DAYS not only in March
but during MANY months of the
year, but the world hears much less
about these days than it does about
the desert heat of the summer.
Some years ago, group of young
business men of FL Centre agreed
that there was absolutely no neces-
sity of a long, dull season in the
valley, and set themselves to work
to keep things moving during the
summer. They said that when ev-
crybody expects s duh season, and
thinks and talks about it, it is sure
TO come.
Their determination to change the
attitude toward the summer months
bore fruit, and it has been better
ever since, though there is still
room for improvement in this re
spect. AT any rate, if those who
feel the necessity of going out for
weeks would tell more often of the
glorious winters in the valley, of its
marvellous spring days, its vivid, in
teresting life, and would talk and
think less of the heat of the sum
mer months, II would mean much to
The prosperity Of tic country. 1t is
fact that scores of people remain
in the valley through the summer or
the greater part of it, and come out
of it strong and well. A valley
booster said yesterday that most of
the discomfort is due to an attitude
of mind toward the heat, rather
than any real physical condition.

The condemned man maintained TO

Hadley mounted the platform with
ont hesitation. He had eaten no

liberate care. o.
- II am innocent and ready to meet

HARVEY MAY RESIGN
AS AMBASSADOR TO
RENTER POLITICS
Leading Republican Fig
ures Gathering for
Conferences.

Washington, ID. C., April IA
comprehensive survey of the Republi.
can outlook for 1924 has been made
in the past few days in series of
conferences here involving first or
last most of the titular leaders of the
party.
Thus far the conferences here have
brought together such figures as Ma
tional Chairman John Z. Adams. just
back from a trip abroad: National
Treasurer Fred Upham of Chicago !;
several members of the cabinet and
number of senator's who keep a
close connection with all matters of
party policy. Within few days two
former national chairmen, Charles d..
Childs of New York and Will III.
Hays of Indiana. are expected to con-
fer with others interested in the
party's welfare in New York.
Within few weeks Colonel George
Harvey. ambassador ut England. is
expected to appear on the scene. and
it is the belief in political circles
that he will be found willing to con-
tribute some pertinent advice regard
ing both party policies and party or
ganization in 1924. For a long time
he has been counted on as one of
the mainstays of the pre-conyention
movement for the denomination of
President Harding. and. although he
has made no public statement on the
subject. his name often has been
coupled in political gossip here with
the effort of the friends of Mr.. Hays
to reinstate him as national chair
man.
