DRIVING OUT CRIMINALS

Various cities have started the year with spec
tacular roundup of crooks and criminals. If they
doing it with view to isolation correction of
the offenders and the purging Of society in general it
would be excellent thing for everybody. AS it hap
pens, they interested only in purging their
communities and don't what they do to others.
Their solution of the problem is merely to drive OUT
the criminal and vicious. Whereupon the outcasts.
having to go somewhere simply so other cities to
continue their nefariOus operations best they may
Clearly, the country whole gains little moth
ing from merely herding undesirables around from
city to city. Even the big cities, which do the most
spectacular herding, Philadelphia is doing now,
seldom accomplish much for themselves as class, be-
they do not work together. And if they did the
effect would be to dump all the excluded rifraff
the smaller communities, which want them less
than the big do This, indeed is the tendency at
present and every big police drive in sectional
tropos sends the predatory residents out to prey
the smaller cities OF the section
There is some good effect from this, no doubt, be-
criminals do not like to be driven around much
than honest people do and the driving may dis
courage the fainthearted among them and impel them
to live better life But obviously the plan will
work with real effectiveness unless all the cities Of
the country big and little cooperate in refusal to tol
crate within their boundaries vicious class
We are still far from sucl effective cooperation.
Wherefore the best way for every community to sor
passing the buck and deal effectively and finally with
its own criminals, shutting up the worst ones and
adopting milder methods for those not incorrigble

ANENT LETTUCE INSPECTION

No campaign of publicity 0 advertising, of
national scope boost the local lettuce in
dustry effectively as the simple brand Imperial
Valley Lettuce stamped crates Of a uniformly
graded, high quality product.
When George H. Eecke, director Of the state de-
partent of agriculture caused the enactment of the
California Fruit and Vegetable Standardization Act,
for the purpose Of protecting the producer from
dishonest competition and the buying public from
receiving fraudulent and deceptive packages. BY this
method it planned to protect the reputation of
California fruit and vegetable products in state and
interstate markets.
With the 1923-24 lettuce shipping season having
the advantage Of the protection and benefits of this
law for the first time County Horticultural Commits
sioner B. A. Harrgan and his efficient corps of in
spectors rendering most useful service.
Few people realize the Importance and great vol
of work attached to the inspection service which
is being effectively carried out by these Never
try will begin to realize that Imperial Valley
Lettuce" means than the of ordinary
salad ingredient and is synonymous with real quality,
is bound to have telling effect in the years
If Imperial Valley Lettuce comes to be regarded
in eastern markets threeword guarantee of real
quality throughout the crate-the the top
as on the bottom-and the package correctly marked
cash value of hundreds of thousands of dollars to
community.
The State Department of Agriculture has
mended county horticultural commissioner for his
excellent showing which makes Imperial County rank
first among the counties of the state with regard to
the thoroughness of inspection and enforcement OF the
Standardization provisions
Imperial county has reason to be proud of the quail
ity of her lettuce which its best is admittedly
ond to And Imperial county is also fortunate
in having official whose conception of duty
up to the high standard.

PRICES

There is some satisfaction in knowing that neces-
sares of life which cost the average family $1,000 in
1920 can now be bought for $780, Though housing and
fuel are higher than they were then, food clothing
furniture and miscellaneous items have brought down
the total.
Nineteen-twenty however, an abnormal year
the peak of the boom. When to compare
present living costs with normal costs before the war
those of 1913 for example find that family
sares costing $1,000 then cost $1720 That is the
cost of living is still 72 per cent above the pre-War level
1t may return to that level With all the ups
and downs of prices economic history long periods
shows general tendency upward usually attributed
to the gold standard the principle that as the sup
ply of gold in the world increases, the gold itself
grows cheaper
The has had much to do with keeping prices
up, in this The diminished supply Of goods in
the world and the productive capacity of nations have
not yet been renewed There good reason though
for believing that the price level destined stay as
high it is. Better production and distribution
everybody working little harder and ntelli-
gently-would bring prices down.

NEW HAIR DRESSER
San Antonio Girls Can Have Golf.
fures Equal to Those OF Movie Stars.

The opening of the Norma Tai
madge Beauty Parlor at 119 IL
Alamo Plaza makes it possible for San
Antonio girls to have the same expert
hairdressing as Norma and Constance
Talmadge. Corrine Griffith. Mary
PickfOrd and other famous movie ac
trcsscs have had in their biggest pie
lures. George WestmOre. proprietor of
the shop was for many years personal
hair dresser to the Talmadge sisters
and countless other beautiful movie
actresses famed for the exquisite per-
lection of their coiffures.
Mr.. Westmore states that prior to
his entering the motion picture field.
he had n beauty parlor in San An
now occupied by Joske Bros. annex.
Mr.. Westmorc says he moved from
San Antonio to Pittsburg. Pa. where
he did great deal of professional
bair-dressing and makeup work for
Clara Kimbal Young. and that it was
through Miss Young's influence that
he obtained his first work in the Cali
fornia studios. The first makeup
work done by Mr.. Westmore was for
Betty Blythe, in ."The Queen Of
SHcDa. MT. NeStuiorc mas HiinStH
appeared as a hair-dresser in several
big pictures. and he states that he
has accomplished some Of his best
coiffures in front of the camera. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Westmore, one of the
most interesting makeup jobs which
he ever accomplished was in Norma
Talmadges latest picture, "Secrets"
where Miss Talmadge took the part of
an eighteen-year-old girl, young
matron. and an old lady. Mr.. West
more states that the part OF the baby
in this picture was played by his own

Mr.. Westmore has an interesting
collection of autographed photographs
of hundreds Of famous movie actors
and actresses. Many of the pictures

and other by products.
In San Antonio and Somerset there
are five good refineries, however. none
of these make lubricating oil, and
only one or two that are refining

In Houston where most of the lubri-

finers has its own agencies Or distri-

to jobbers. Texas today is supply
