KEEP UP THE FIGHT!

Imperial Valley may we'll hold out hope for the sue
cess of the SWlngJ Ohnson BILL following the hectic all
night session of the senate Tuesday night followed by
the splendid battle which Senator Johnson and his
supporters made for the bill all day yesterday.
Four times the opponents of the BILL resorting to
fbuster under the lead of Senator Ashurst of Ari-
endeavOred to have the bill sidetracked and four
times they were repuised.
If the bill passes the senate-and its supporters
to be certain that it will-full credit must be
given to Senator Johnson who led the fight and led it
with strenuousness that must have severely taxed his
physical strength. The loyal group of senator's who
supported him also due for the thanks of Imperial
Valley.
We must also give credit to friend Senator Ash
urst of Arizona, if the bill meets with success,
for he unquestionaby has done the bill good than
harm by his fibustering tactics. Senators who
only lukewarm toward the bill, and few who
classed antagonstc to the support of Senator
Johnson, becoming disguSed with the "dOg-in-the-
manger" attitude assumed by the Arizona senator.
What contrast he presented when compared with
Senator Copeland Of New York! The latter has moth
ing to gain by passage of the Swing Johnson bill 1t
will not benefit his state in the least unless
slider the benefit that will the country in gen

he will do everything in his power to defeat the BILL
Mighty small consideration he gives the thousands of
people in other states who will be benefited along
with his own constituents in Arizona If he can't have

His acen-hehole card-an effort to have the senate
side track the Swing-Johnso bill to consider bill to
enable veterans to obtain loans their bonusfailed

in the west, is glad that it did.
Right now the bill is in better position than ever it

WOMEN's FASHIONS HIT
 COTTON MILLS HARD BLOW

Women's fashions calling for wear ing as little as possible and that little made of silk are causing causing the cotton mills of the Northern States to close down, says Felix Bouchet, one of the best known oldtime mining men of the Interior. who returned Satur- day from the East.
 It was Mr. Bouchet's first visit Out side for more than 30 years, and the changes that had taken place were startling. For instance there were the prevailing fashions of dress-or un- dress.
 'Its terrible." said MT. Bouchet in discussing his impressions before con- tinuing his journey to Fairbanks. "The little clothing the women are wearing! l kuOW Ouo WOulu lullh lueN WOulu catch their death of cold. Nothing but silk is worn. That is one of the reasons why cotton manufacturing plants of the North are compelled to close down. It's "dog-on" little clothing they wear these days. Undershirts are thing of the past. Just three or four pieces are now worn-a waist, skirt, bloomers and something else don't know what they call 'em-un- der the waist. And shoes. You never see anything like it up here in Alaska! Out there they are wearing shoes and slippers with heels that are actually three inches high!"

GOLD BEING RECOVERED
 FROM THE AIR IN N. ',

NEW YORK. May 20. (P)-Picking gold out of the air suggests a fairy tale but that is exactly what is done at the New York assay office in Wall street, says Popular Mechanics Mag >azine. Tests have shown that the method is saving the government thousands of dollars that otherwise would be wasted. The minute parti- cles of the metal are taken from the fumes in the smelling furnaces. High-pressure forced draft drives the gases up the stack to settling chambers" where the gold is taken out by special electrical process before the residue fumes are releas- ed. Since the mechanism was in stalled, it is estimated that gold to the amount Of not less than $12,000 has been received.
