THIS FROCK OPENS ATHLETIC SEASON

Since it is difficult to tell Just
when you will be called upon to
play in a game of quoits. it is well
to keep in practice with your
bracelets, seems to be the opinion
Of the lady in the picture who is
just about to ring the stake with
her amber circlet. Sets of from
four to eight bracelets have be-
come part of the equipment of the
smart Partisan women, accord
ing TO Henri Creange, the FASH
ion authority. Sometimes they
are all of the same material.
sometimes a rainbow of .ridesccnt
glass. If s. number are TO be
worn they must be quite small un-
less you wish 10 cripple yourself.
For the single bracelet a wide, old
fashioned gold band is often seen-
The dress illustrated, of ross
colored Frostkrepe. a substantial
crepe weave with a characteristic
sparkle, itself offers scope for
athletic achievements. 1t hangs
loosely from the shoulders, the
belt being decorative rather than
a confining influence. The Snorl
sleeves arc loose and the neck
line, with its wide rolling collar
and v offers q great deal of free
dom to the neck. The plcats,
which summer always brings upor
us are present in full force. In
this frock they are however COM
bined with plain material in a most
interesting manner. The pleated
panel down the front and back is
framed in plain material which
follows the V in front and makes
a straight yoke across the back.
The tunic flies loose over tight

ished because of misfortunes which
have been suffered and losses which
have been sustained. Because OF
this, muct has been directed toward
the Board of Directors for which
they are not really responsible.
However, it is undoubtedly
fact that the directors of the
Irrigation District do not enjoy
the full confidence Of the peo-
pie either in Imperial Valley or
among those residing outside
who have occasional contact
with Imperial Valley affairs.
The people expect and will de-
lnaEd the application of all
economies that are possible SO
that the Directors cannot afford
to ignore criticisms that have
been made, but on the other
hand will be expected to avail
themselves of whatever has
been offered that promises any
relief whatever from the burd-
ems which have pressed so heav-
illy upon the people.
More than this, those outside of
the valley whose assistance the Irri.
CATION District is compelled ito en-.
list from time to time should be
consulted before the Directors com
nit themselves to any policy which
has possibilities of involving the
District in such Il situation as exists
at the present time.
Revenue Plan Tactics
There has been very general ex.
preston among people outside I'm
perial county that the revenue plan
adopted by the Directors whicl. mas
involved the District in litigation
was by the most charitable interp-
rotation tactless and unwisc and
that before committing the District
TO il conference should have been
had with some of the friends who
have supported the District III past
emergencies.
There is feeling that the Dis
trict, being political organization,
the Directors should be polite; thar
Is to say, it should be kept in mind
that the people must always be dealt
with; that the District VIII function
best when it has the fullest &C.
opeGatIon of Its patrons and that ac-
cor dinghy the Directors should avoid
politics which needlessly irritate
even though they may be fully
persuaded of the merit of thci.
plans.
These views are of course personal
TO Il certain extent and at the same
time they reflect the views of a
very large number Of the thinking
and successful men whose material
prosperity is included with aud de
pendent upon tho successful func.
tioning of the Irrigation District.
This employment did not carry
with if an office 10 act as mentor
or father-confcssor to the Board of
Directors. The findings here are
submitted for whatever they MAJ
be worth. 1T is the belief that
something similar to this would be
the judgment of almost anyone who
might make inquiry into the affair
of the District and who might have
courage to speak his mind frankly
The need of the hour is TO get down
to business and operate as well as
we know how to the thing that We
have. 1t is well enough TO have
visions, but it is a question today
whether more fancy is not fillina
the official mind too completely and
crowding from consideration the

Discovery

TOLEDO, Ohio, April 2l.-Onc
of the most astounding discoveries
in medical history was made in ST.
Vincent S Hospital here when an
operation for "tumor" revealed
that an aged Toledo woman had
carried for 81 years the perfectly
formed body of an unborn baby girl.
The woman, "A, died shortly af-

caused by combination of diseases
due to old age, doctors said
The baby's body was in, a shell or
