Esther Ralston when he was assign
ed to the leading male role in her
latest Paramount picture, Half Il

ly through coincidence. Richard
Arlen, originally slated for the lead

Arlcn was withdrawn from the
Ralston picture to take the leading

FEAR OUTWEIGHS REASON

The bad effects of single mistake no more
forciby demonstrated than in the subway system of
New York City
For nearly two decades the subway trains handled
millions and millions of passengers year, without
experiencing anything like major accident. Pas
sengers rode the trains daily with thought of danger
and looked upon their journeyngs to and fro beneath
the ground casually they would eating drink

Two weeks ago defective switch wrecked train,
killing score of persons and nuring many others.
The result is a psychological reaction which
threatens to throw subway passengers into panic at
the least sign of any trouble however trivial may be.
Sunday the third rail-" which supplies electric
power to operate the trains burned in section of
the subway Ordinarily it would not have been danger

SYMPATHY FOR ORANGE COUNTY

Louie Hop" carefully trained and looked upon
Mark Twains immortal story, fell victim to what is
believed to be nefarious conspiracy on the part OF
northern counties to prevent the championship COM
ing south Of the Tehachapl.
Careful investigation by the handlers Of the de-
ceased resulted in the theory being advanced that
'I ouie Hop" met his end by means Of tough, un-
alatabe Sacramento Valley fly, sneaked into his fod

grown in the balmy atmosphere of Orange county 1y
from the harsh Sacramento was about as deadly as

We hate to think that any CalifOrnlans even north

hut the proof seems indsputable These northern
counties have been accused-and this also seems mdS
puable-of feeding their entries grasShoppeTs there
by giving them an unfair advantage over other con
tcstants. We are informed that grasshopper diet
is barred by the rules Of the contest.
Imperial county has no entry in the contest. i ne
reason? St Patrick paid visit to Imperial Val

1t would be comparatively easy matter to shed

acres of trees in the mountains between here and San

When one thinks of majestic oaks, lofty pines the

their owners to build in veritable grave

This column has pleaded many times in the past
with Imperial Valley residents be careful when they
are in the mountains We who have such dearth OF

beauty of the mountains and do everything in pow

are held each year, and Allegany, in
which regular work is being organ
lied following several special clinics.
Estimates prepared by the Mary
land League for Crippled Children,
based upon surveys made throughout
the country, show that there are about
400 boys and girls under 81, in the
State who are crippled, and of that
number 1000 live in the counties.
When a study was made Of the Grip
pied children in Baltimore City it was
found that half of the children had
become disabled throughinfantile par
alysis, and that tuberculosis was re-
sponsible in the case of 16 per cent.
Only about six per cent-one out of
every sixteen-had been crippled from
birth and relief or help of some sort
was possible for all but two out of
every hundred.
One of the aims of the clinics is to
discover the children who have some
disabling handicap and to give them
the benefit of skilled medical and sur
gical care. When treatment at local
hospitals is not available, it is almost
always possible to have the children
cared for at one of the hospitals in
Baltimore City. Much assistance has
been given by the Rotary, Kiwanis
and other service clubs in providing
funds for braces and for other APP
planes for children in need of such
aid.
The Maryland League for Crippled
Children reports that surveys are I'M
der way in a number of places to find
out the number of children of school
age, so that provision can be made
for their attendance at school.
