Imperial Honor
Departing Pa stor
Community Church

IMPERIAL, April 29.-A fare
well reception was held ut the
Community church parish house last
evening in honor of Rev. and Mrs.
j. A. McGaughey, who arc leav-
ing the valley.
l'he parish house was beautifully
decorated, in flowers and greenery,
The program was as follows;
Rev. Oscar Sweeney who gave a
talk and read letter to the Nc
Gaugheys from the board of the
Community church; response by
Rev. McGaughey; clarinet solo by
George Thames; vocal duet by Miss
Jean Reeves and Miss Benson; talks

ity churches by Mrs. j. Harland
Butler.
Rev. and Mrs. McGaughey came
to Imperial over four years ago
and started their work in a com
munity church for Imperial. Since
that time several community church
Sunday schools have been organic
ed in the outlying district by them
and the membership of the church
increased from less than hundred
TO several hundreds. During their
STAY the McGaugheys have made
MANY friends both in and out of
Imperial. The Mexican people
among whom they have worked
regret a great deal to loose their
wonslerful leadership.
They left today for San Juan
Capistrauo where Mrs. McGaughey
will remain during trip east by
Mr.. MeGaughey.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
MAKERS OF HOMES
THAT ARE USEFUL

There is no fruit cup so refresh
ing as one consisting of apples,
gr, pefruit, oranges and Hawaiian
pineapple.
: Glass may be frosted by the
amateur BIZ first cleaning the glass
and then applying thin coat of
white lead mixed with turpentine,
Then pat lightly all over the glass
with pad of cheeseclcth, stippling
to suit.
Houseoleaning il coming araqe
and good method of cleaning gilt
frames may be welcome. Go over
the gilt with dry closh to remove
ali dust. Then wash with warm
water in which medium-sized
onion has been boiled. Rub dry
with soft cloths
To prevent bread from becoming
stale hang wet cloth over the
bread pan.
When shredding soap use an old
CRATER instead Of knife. The
sh5vfngs will -be much finer and
dissolve more readily.
A pudding 10 be boiled must
Completely fill the basin. If not
full. put in erusts of bread. Make
pleat in the cloth tied over the
basin to allow the pudding to rise.

LINGERIE MAKING,
"a OF SOFT COLORS

This is indisputably a wolfe sea-
son SO far as concerns the daintier
under. hingS. Also it is colorful
season, and it is equally Il season
which finds cotton mderthings
designed with IS great care as that
lavished upon silks.
Wolfe may be plain, it may be
shadow striped, but whatever its
guise or color, it is greatly in de
mand at the present time, and is
easily the leader i'll cotton lingerie
materials. In varying degrees of
sheerness it flourishes in all ranks,
from the simple vest or step-in TO
the deliberately handmade, hand
embroidered garments, many of
which come from France and Bel
gium.
Some of the new cotton hand
made undergarmeEts from Belgium
are fashioned of - very fine, sheer,
and closely woven material called
opaline, which occupies toward
lingerie cottons position similar
to that taken by triple voile in the
field of silks. 1t comes i'll a charm
ing array of soft colors, and when
embellished with hand work makes
up in way to rival any but the
finest silks.
Cotton materials riot in color,
but they restrict their most effus
sive demonstrations to those shades
which come under the headings of
pink, peach, and honey dew. with
a discreet sprinkling of Nile here
and there. White, of course, is al
ways good but it appears very con
servativc in this season. i'll which
the novelty of yesterday rs the
s.aple of today. \ touch of black
is seen ON some of the wolfe under

the exclusion feature in the present
bill.
1t is believed that those demand
ing exclusion could be satisfied in
an arrangement of this character.
The law would provide for exclusion
which would go into effect eventu-
ally if no other agreement super
ceded it.. Because of the necessity
of satisfying congress and the west
ern states, it is believed that a new
treaty with Japan would have to
be based on the principle of exclu-
sion.

Margaret Has Missed
the Greatest Happiness

Marguerite Clark, once a
famous and petite star of the
screen-the only real lival Mary
Pickford ever had.--haa written
an engaging little story about
how she found happiness. 1t
was, in brief, when she gave Ap
her movie stardom, married
Harry P. Williams. in Louisiana,
and settled down to raise -
chickens, dogs and flowers,
Babies? Marguerite does not
mennon them as identified wish
her scheme of Joy, strange to
say. And yet no normal wo-
man has yet found the fullness
of true happiness, no home has
attained lhot completeness that
its name implies, until there are
babies to bosom and house.
It isn't mere sentiment that
these words voice, but it is ex-
preston of that law Of nature
out Of which comes motherhood,
the greatest, loveliest thing in a
human world,
The love Of dog is fine, Mar
guente, and flowers make fra
grant and colorful surroundings,
but neither one nor both can
possibly supply the beauty and
great happiness Of life that it is
given only to woman 10 know
and feel, in the flesh Of her
flesh-a baby.
