LET'S GET BUSY

Two proofs that Imperial Valley is in position to
become famous in aviation circles if it will only avail
itself of its opportunities given to residents here
last week.
The Albatross, seeking worlds endurance record.
has made several attempts the coast. These have
failed in part because Of adverse weather conditions
Now the promoters plan to to Imperial Valley.
They are lured here by the splendid weather which
was discovered here last year when the old Albaross
failed of endurance record through mechanical diff
ficultes. One Of the Of that ship is to fly the
Albatross. Benefiting by the knowledge gained
last year there is every TO believe that rec
ord can be established here, breaking the one now
held in Germany
Aviation circles all over the world are preparing
to keep IN close touch with the experiment which the
United States army IS 10 attempt with the "Question
Mark The army proposes to send the ship aloft,
and keep in it the air until the engines out
tuellng and adding additional supplies while it is in
the air
One of the supply ships is to be stationed at I'M
tion Mark from the coast where the flight is sched-
ued to take place it be continued Imperial
at the airport.
The entire resources Of the army air service will
be behind the effort of the "Question Mark Its
performance in the air will be closely followed News
paper correspondents will send frequent bulletins
of its progress This will also apply to the efforts of
the Albatross.
All of the bulletins on the AIbatross, and perhaps
many on the Question Mark, Will be dated from I'm
perial Valley thus bringing this community before the
people Of the entire world.
Although Imperial County Airport will be used
for the Question Mark supply ship, private field
will provide headquarters for the AbatTOss Imperial
County Airport should be equipped with every facility
for assisting aviation including proper night landing
signals and other up to date devices. Much has been
done to provide field which expert airmen who have
used 1t declare to be Of the best in the country
Whatever else their experiences dictates as needed i'm

The crew Of the "Qucston Mark" were lavish in
their praise OF the natural advantages Of the airport
and SAID without reservation that it is the smoOhest
and best they encountered n their trip across the
country from the Atlantic coast.

A PURIFYING PRIMARY.

The result of the Illinois Republican primary election will have decidedly clarifying effect on the political situation in that State It weakens the power for the present at least. of one of the most shameless political combinations that has burdened an American State in many years Gov Len Small, Senator Frank Smith and Mayor Bill Thompson were associated in politics for the sole purpose of carrying elections for themselves and their friends and punishing enemies. From the primary emerges, as Republican leader, Senator Charles S. Deneen.
 While Senator Deneen also had his gang lead CTS and, it has been freely charged they used all the tactics, even to the point of killing that the Thompson and other gangs practiced, he is rela- lively speaking, at least, an honest and enight- ened leader. As States Attorney in Chicago, Governor of his State and United States Senator. Senator Deneen has been credtable figure He has been as honest and clean as it is possible for to be and remain in Illinois politics While he is essentially an Tlinoisan he comes nearer National stature than any of those leaders whom his victory has displaced His leadership will justify the Republicans of his State in ap- pealing for the support of business men and respectable public opinion.
 It has been charged that Senator Deneen was as culpabe as the rest of them because he led the Senate fight for seating Frank Smith How ever, the situation was far different then Sen ator Deneen is a good lawyer and he was con q epneed, as was many another good lawyer, that MT. Smith was entitled to be seated as the Senator from Illinois on the regularity of his credentials If charges were made against him that ought to disqualify him, Senator Deneen held that his trial on them ought to later. Senator Borah and other good lawyers in the Senate agreed with Senator Deneen, and court of jus tce would probably have held with him.
 The people of Illinois are to be congratulated An fha fnn hot t1,1 Hi have taken long forward step in the process of purifying their party.

Lcrd Brkenhead seems to have started an ex- Icellent Silly Season" subject several months in advance of it's proper time by his assurance to the Authors Club that the women writers of distinction" mot in any way comparable to
 men writers of distinction As the self-a nouneed sire of a family of journalists of dis

 that he was throwing out a fine challenge to
 representatives of trade which is today as
 widely recruited for members of one sex as it is
 from members of the other Perhaps that is why he issued the challenge Some professions have
 had to be opened to women by legislation; let ters-and even journalism-has always been open to ability. and the position today is rather that there is ability than knocking at the door. So Lord Birkenhead who is, after all. something of a conservative, takes rhetorical pleasure in inquiring, Very well-what did you ldo before in this particular enterprise? And why should you think that you will do any better now?" To judge from the interviews with women authors which have already been col lected as a result of the challenge, the reply is that I've do very we-and even better-than

Women in the Theatre.
(New York Times. )

Addressing an audience of women in Lon don, Mr St. John Ervine complained bitterly that the modern theatre has fallen sadly from its high traditions. "The great day of the theatre when there women either the stage in the audience" He suggested, in re- actonary wrath, that all women under 40 years of age be barred from the theatre.
 MT Eryine planes women for going to see shows which "the police ought to stop sec ond count against playgoers is that very often they go to a show just to the frocks which actresses This misdemeanor scarce ly ranks as treason to the drama Many medi- ocre play, badly acted, has stopped this side of complete fiasco because of beautiful settings or charming costumes.
 It is hard to believe that the English writer feels fierce he sounds. Himself a play wright, he would find royalties seriously dim finished if young women barred from his audiences Perhaps he deals out these shockers only to call attention to the finer things of the drama-his own plays, perhaps, included.

REASONS FOR SUPPORTING HOOVER.

Of these 1,010 favored Hoover Most of them gave briely the reasons for their choice Among them, 479 mentioned his executive ability or administrative ability factor in their choice 532 referred to his honesty or Integrity: lV5 thought it valuable that he would not be ruled by politicians or purely political consid- erations; 406 referred to his international exper- fence and understanding of foreign affairs: TIT praised his stand the prohibition question; 72 called him typical American" or a ''repre- sentative American" The word 'vision" was used by 5S voters, and the word ''praetcal' by TIC.
 Madame Ga-Curri explains My reasons for supporting this great Republican are many among them his comprehensive knowledge of his country and the world, his achievements, and the respect with which his election would be regarded both at home and abroad"
 Felix Warburg's for supporting Hoov- CT are: His untiring and unselfsh efforts for humanity, his sound judgment in international affairs, his fairness in his dealings with every body" John Philip sousa wants Hoover on the ground of general benefit to America George Haven Putnam, who has always voted with the
  Democrats unless they made fools of themselves, 5 considers Hoover "by far the most promising and best qualified among the present leaders of the Republican Party"
 Melyil Dewey father of the modern library cataloging system, urges that this country is suffering supremely to have it's affairs managed more by engineers and less by polticians-there- fore Hoover is the best man" Anthony Fiala, the Polar explorer, registers the conviction that Hoover is fitted by nature and experience to be President Dan Beard, artist and Boy Scout leader, declares for Hoover because it is impera- tive to have staunch Republican candidate with an unimpeachable record of honesty, service and courage,-quaities which will count more than party politics in the coming eection'
