PAVING IS PROGRESS

Each time conditions in Ell Centro as they have
been for the past week, wonders just why it is
that there is always certain amount of objection
raised when is proposed pave streets of the city
The last paving project placed before the city
council, which included certain streets in the north
west section of the city, vigorously and
fully opposed by minority of the residents there
Since Sundays rain that particular section has
been quagmre. To get about loot has been al
most an impossbility. To drive through has been a
severe hardship on automobiles.
Paving is costly perhaps, but if it isn't better than
slippery, Shiny mud in weather, and stiffng dust
in weather then tallow candles should be pre-
ferred to electric lights and Indian wigwams make
better domicies than modern houses.
All improvements cost money, but in the end they
worth it. Those who are ready to support projects
for improvement show that they progressive and
desrous of keeping in step with the advancement
which has made the American nation. Opponents of
imp royements be termed short-sighed, to place
t mildly.

WHO'S CRAZY NOW?

George Remus, king of the bootleggers, he styled
himself, does not get off easily he expected fol-
lowing his acqutta of wife murder, the grounds
that he was insane the day he killed Mrs. Remus.
The jury which heard the evidence, found that
Remus was insane the day he killed his wife, but he
was not insane before after the crime.
Under the laws of Ohio, the question of his sanity
had to be passed upon by probate judge. Judge
William H. Lueders, heard the evidence, declared
Remus to be criminaly insane and ordered him con-
fined in asylum for that class of people.
Between the time of the jurys verdict and Judge
Lueder's decision, efforts made to have Remus
released from custody, the jury going far as
to sign petition requesting his release Christ
mas present" The judge who had presided at the
trial and to whom the petition presented, vigor-
ously censured the jurymen for their act.
There is doubt that the decision of Judge Lueders
is much nearer the fact than the finding of the jury
was. Remus may may not be crazy. If he is crazy
he belongs in the asylum. If he is crazy he should
be kept in seclusion anyhow for with these off again.

CALIFORNIA INDICTED

In addition to being the grosses sort of crime against
society, the Hickman has developed into a ter
rble indictment of CALIFORNIA; laws governing parole
and probation.
Hickman, universally termed the arch-fiend because
of the outrageous killing of Marion Parker calmly
cites tale of crime which shows that he guilty
of another cold-blooded murder at the time he
granted probation forgery charge.
Nor was he kept under any sort of surveillance af-
ter being paroed. Instead he permitted to roam
the country, robbing and stealing at will.
There are cases where parole probation should be
granted but they few and far between particular
ly where major crime has been committed And
even then one the other should be granted only
after careful investigation and provision for compel
ing the probationer to make strict of his acts
The writer has heard it said that parole of prisoners
is necessary to prevent prisons from being overcrowd
ed. That is horrible falacy. If criminals were
really punished and made to the full length of
their terms and knew beforehand that there would b.
no short time for them they in prison, it
would reduce crime.
Marion Parkers death has resulted in orders being
given for strcter control pupils while they at
school. If it will also tend to waken the people of
California to realization that are gradually but
surely breaking down society by pamperng and pet
ting criminals and by ndiscrimnatey granting parole
and probation, her 0ah will not altogether have been
in vain.

BUICK ENGINE
IN new MODELS
REAL FEATURE

FLINT, Mich, Dee. 31-(SpeciaI
Among the engineering features
which share credit for Bucks rec
ord-brcaking sales since introduc'
,ion of the 1928 models last summer
is the improved six-cylinder valve
in-hcad engine, featuring the vac
uum ventilator and the counterbal-
anced crankshaft with torsional
balancer. Engine changes i'll the
new models include a new cylinder
head, new camshaft, new lighter
valve operating mechanism, and an
enlarged exhaust system.
OF these changes, one of the most
interesting, in Buick engineers
opinion, is tie ruick cylinder head,
which makes use of the same pria-
clple as has long guided the design
of firearms, and with the same OBJ
jrct: to get all possible force direct
lv behind the projectile. In the
case of the engine, the projectile is
the piston, and the power which the
pistons collectively develop depends
upon the force brought to bear upon
J them by the explosion within the
combustion chamber.
The CONFUSION chamber i'll the
engine of the new Buick is circular,
with smoothly, rounded walls, and is
of the same diameter as the piston
itself. 1t fits exactly over the bore
IN the cylinder block, its walls
forming continuation of the lat
tcr's, so that when the explosion oc-
ours, every ounce of power is con
ccntrated directly upon the piston.
Design Not Irregular
Since the valve openings are in
the head itself, there is no necessit.,
Tor an irregular design to accommo-
date the valves. just as in the
rlodern gun, the propelling power is
introduced through what cores
ponds to the breech. This feature a
bout the design of the valvein-
head engine makes it the most pow
erful engine, per cubic inch of pis-
ton displacement yet devised.
An incidental effect of the un-
Usually compact head design is re
duction of undesirable cooling of
'ae explosive mixture, and conse-
lucnt lessening of detonation.

NINETY PER CENT SOUND

Most OF the pessiists about present-day youth are
to be found among people who don't really know the
situation At first hand Many minister's educators and
parents who have the development and character of
the younger generation seriously at heart find ample
grounds for faith and optimism.
DR.. James Gordon Gkey of Amherst College is
among these. In an address Youth and the Chang
ing Social Order he states his belief that the drinking
and questionable conduct to be found in colleges and
universities arc limited to 10 per cent Of the whole
student body The other 80 per he considers fine
and sound. with high of honor as the young
people of any generation ever had
I'm some points the youth of today is better off
than the youth of the past generations he finds The
youth of today is better physically because of the ad
vance in medical science physical exercise and
rational diet.
There certain number of the young people
of today who doomed to dismal failure Those who
do not fail vii! attain to a day of better knowl-
edge, freedom and peace"
One fact that stares thoughtful people in the face
is that where failure it is often the result
of the mistakes of elders than of wlful folly in the
who fails. More can be done to save and help
young people by seeking wisdom for parents and teach
than by wringing the hands and shaking the head
