WHY WOMEN SWIM WELL.
THE AZORES SHAKEN.
BY Arthur Brisbane.
fConvrivht 1921

A great French swimmer says
women are better swimmers than men
because they are more supple. Per.
haps they inherit swimming ability
from very remote ancestors. Oul
great-great-grandmo others. of the stone
age, probably had to swim away from
their husbands often, or from other
men that had captured them.
In the Pacific islands, anything in
the shape Of canoe or boat or float
ing log is put under most violent lent
religious taboo for women. Foolish
females have been persuaded that to
touch boat would be fatal. That
idea was invented to keep them from
getting away to another island. The
conquerors of China squeezed the
women's feet to prevent their run
ming away. Soon Chinese ladies liked
it, as a sign of refinement. Turks
locked their women In harems, and
the women thought they liked that.

YOUNG A LIFE LINE FOR IMPERIAL Valley


If for other reason than to carry out the prin-
cpe expressed in the old phrase Heaven helps those
should be united in their supnort Of Lieutenant Gov
c. c. Young who is seeking the office Of COVER
nor of the State OF California.
The lieutenant governor has lonr been recognized
as.aone of the abes legislators in the state with
record of service and achievement in the legislature
that does him no small amount of credit
He has been consistent supporter of the GREAT
piece of constructive LEGISLATION which the future
Development of Imperial Valley depends-the Swing
Johnson bill
: Therein lies the reason why Imperial Valley
should support him. cOupled with recognition OF the
fact that he is a sound legirlator.
His support of this 10 rslaton is no last minute
rallv to catch the voe0 Of the people of this section
He has strongly advocated more emphatic Darticpa
ton by the state government in behalf of the Swing
Johnson BILL and during recent sessions OF the leFlS-
lature it largely through his able assistance that
DESIGNED to protect CalifOnias rights IN the
development of the Colorado river, were carried
Imperial Valleys official representatives at WASH
npton and those who at the rantal to end ther
assistance to the SwineJohnson bill have long lament
ed the dormant attitude of the state government to-
ward this all important measure
Other states interested in the DEVELOPMENT of the
Colorado have had strong delegations at the capital
empowered to represent Their state. governments.
California has had none, fact that has been comment
ed frequently by the other states and by repre-
sentativeS of the national government and tending to
weaken the battle lirn which, until few years was
carried on solely By I'm oerial VALLEY.
That the state most vitallv interested in this
greatest DEVELOPMENT should be kadaslcal IN
its attitude is NOTHING short of famentabe.
With Governor Young chief executive of Ca-
fornia, rrevocabv committed to the support of the
SwingJ ohnson BILL and ready 10 lead this state to It's
place the head of the states interested there
is certain be strong call fer action on the bill a.
the next session of Congress-
Representative Swing and those who have been
fighting for the bill have told the VALLEY peone that
the hardest fight will at this session when the
final attempt will be made to pass the measure.
What stronger support they have than the
knowledge that at last they have the official backing
of the of California with Governor c. c. Young
ready to 90 the limit to help them
" man STRUGGLING in the water not going to turn
his back on life line thrown to him. imperial Val
lev has been struggling long enough. Young is the
life line and will be failing to carry out the doctrine
expressed in the first paragraph turn our backs
on him.

HOW ABOUT AN OFFICE BUILDING?

Why hasn't FL Centre real, up to date, office
building?
The question is not our own, and had not
thought much about it until professional man pro-
pounded il to us recently.
There does seem to be room for such a building in
this cv when gives the matter little consdera-
ton. There are several office buildings housing the
citys professional and business men, but is doubtful
ifeven the would advance the claim that they
are modern and up to date
Rum0rs have been heard recently Of such build
ing being planned Main street, but efforts obtain
n1oce substantial information have not been success
fal.
With the large number Of professional and busi-
nes men in this city would that such build
is, would pay handsomely tc the builder.
~ The man who propounded the question asserted he
would be glad to pay double his present rent if he
could get offices in building and stated that he
had discussed the matter with others who feel the
way
=, Here is suggestion Tor some property owner
who wants to make investment. With city grow
ing as steadily Ell Centre is, it would like
good opportunity, and hope the suggestion will
bear fruit.
