BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

Having been informed by his doctors that he has
only few months to live Albert B. Fall, former
retary of the interior has decided to make clean
breast of it, and has advised the senate public lands
committee that he is ready to tell the whole story
regarding the Teapot Dome lease
While one cannot laud the action of the former
cabinet officer in putting off the truth long, it is
better late than and if he clear up all the
mystery concerning this choice bit of treachery, per-
haps he will induce millions of his fellow citizens to
think less harshly of him after he is gone
There is question that Fall is very sick man,
and the senate committee is acting wisely in deciding
to go to his home at Ell Paso hear what he has to
say.
Like water flowing down hill and seeking
lower level. this Teapot Dome has spread out
til the average layman rightly asks who, among our
public officials, trust?" Men hitherto of un-
blemshed standing in public affairs have been be-
smirched by the Shiny oil trail, entire political party
has been sued every honest citizen has become dis
gusted with the Vaccinations to defeat the ends of
justice
Fall states he has never been in position to tell all
the facts in connection with the oil conspiracy Just
what has happened to place him in position to do
he does not state therefore is justified in assuming
it is the approach of death which has prompted him
to make confession.
Judging from what has happened during the past
four years. every time the Teapot Dome probe hit
home, there is likely to be big demand for steamship
tickets once Fall starts to talk

OUR INTERESTING SPOTS

Thanks, Brother Witter, for the comment on
editorial relative to traffic the Blythe route.
We quite agree with you also that Imperial Valley
has many spots and natural attractions. which
have decided appeal to outsiders and should have
greater appeal to those who make their homes
here.
This column has previously pointed out some of
the places which offer delightful days outing and
we venture to repeat, what said then that only
very small percentage Of valley residents have visited
all of them
To begin with, there the prehistoric tracks you
mention; also the Saton Sea geysers and mudpots;
Painted Canyon the petrified forest Laguna Salada
the line in Mexico, also the Cantu grade; the
old stage coach road+to Julian through Carrso creek
and Valectas; the mining country over around Ogil
by Glamis and Pcacho; the levee system of the I'M
perial Irrigation district.
These of the things right here in the
valley Our mountain country to the west is filled with
interesting places to visit. Yet many of residents
heard TO bewail that have nothing to offer. We
have plenty
AS for the billboards and hot dog stands, if they
make their appearance when Imperial Valley wakes up
and starts to show off its natural resources let's drag
out the old ASS and perforate the first who starts

Proper Signals
Should Be Given

Police departments ali over the
state have been arresting motorists
this month for failure to give the
signals required under the Vehicle
Act. The program of the month of
the California Public Safety Con
ference emphasizes the duty of
motorists with respect to signals and
Chief j. Sterling Oswalt of the To-
cal police department has been CO.
operating with this program.
G. G. Tucker, manager of the El
Centre branch of the Automobile
Club of Southern California, calls
attention to the signal law. All
hand signals must be given from the
left side of the vehicle. The signal
for the right hand turn shows the
hand and arm straight up; the sig
nal for the left hand turn shows
the hand and arm straight out and
the signal for stop shows the hand
and arm straight down. These sig
mails must be given continuously dur
ing the last 80 feet before the move
ment is started. Compliance with
these rules will undoubtedly de-
crease the number of automobile ac-
cidents, Tucker says.
