- IT have long ago told Bob
this-I did all could for him
and with him and then 1 stopped.
Now if he gets killed 1 will give
him Christian burial, but that
is the only thing I will do for
him.
This was the ultimatum to au-
thorities here when they asked
William Ikerd if he would pay
for an operation on his son, Bob,
wounded after a filling station
hold up in which he and accom-
plices kidnapped the proprietor,
David Chitwood, and were cap
tured after a gun battle with
Bedford police.
Despite the fathers stand, au-
thorities had the operation per-
formed, and bullet and part of
knee cap were removed at a

4 GOOD RECORD

Imperial county may we'll be proud of the fine
record made by class of 80 aliens who sought natur
alization in the local superior court last week.
Out Of the three score applicants, II were granted
immediate citizenship In only four did the court
refuse citizenship and in these it denied because
the applicants had claimed exemption from the draft
during the World War by of their allegiance to
foreign powers. One applicant was refused tenn
porarily pending investigation into his record In
the other naturalization deferred for tech
nica reasons that will not be bar to further applica
ton.
Admission of more than 80 per cent of class Is
an unusually good record, particularly where the num-
Der of applicants is so large.
It might be mentioned in passing that the appli-
cants admitted to citizenship fully cognizant of
the honor conferred upon them, and realized the sig
nficance of the step they had taken. All had looked
forward to il for several years spending much time in
that period in studying the history and government OF
their adopted country.
That they will make good citizens, is the hope Of
every native born American, who realizes that the
greatness Of the nation depends upon the love and
loyalty of those who here from other shores Too
many native born citizens accept their citizenship with
its duties and privileges matter OF course IhoSe
who have seek the honor quite often cherish it more
sincerely Notwithstanding the charges we often hear
made by those who, in their ignorance look upon the
foreigner as someone undesirable.

4 REMARKABLE FEAT

Claude G. Bowers of New York City made the
keynote address at the Democratic national conven-
on in Houston last night Millions heard it the
radio in addition to the thousands who jammed the
convention hall.
To the followers of the Democratic party, it
wonderful speech full of dynamite that exploded
against the Republican party. To Republicans it
well, good speech, but lot of applesauce."
From newspaperman's standpoint it
derful in respect at least. 1t required nearly
hour for Mr.. Bowers to deliver it. Sitting at radio
with copy of the speech checked it 1t given,
and surprised note how closely it followed the
advance copy given in confidence to this publication
1t varied only very little. Still greater
surprise when the impaired the information
that Mr.. Bowers had delivered it from memory, having
to refer to his copy only few times. That indeed
marvellous feat and showed exceptional training. The
few changes Mr. Bowers made were insignificant.
In the old days, there much of commit
ting to memory" in school curricula. Today there is
very little of it. To US it always appeared to be good
training that should not have been discarded alto
gether.
Mr. Bowers is by profession newspaperman,
which may explain it. Not that the craft is brighter
than others, but the newspaperman who cannot re-
member things doesn't last very long.

THE RIGHT POLICY

Although Bert B. Meek director of public works.
deserves commendation for his stand on so-called
hgh-speed highways it appears be the only logi-
cal one consistent with serving the interests of the
greatest portion of the state.
Several weeks ago, when northern enthusiasts
advocated hlgh-speed highway between Los Angeles
and San Francisco for which a bond issue would be
asked at the November election, this column declared
that such proposition would receive little support in
Imperial county.
This statement based the fact that the
state highways passing through this county are entire
y too narrow for the traffic they called upon to
bear and the belief that the state should bring its pres
ent system up to an efficient point before spending
money on what is at best, something of luxury Ger
talnly 1t cannot be considered a necessity.
Director Meek uphods this view and declares it
IS the intention of his department improve existing
roads IN line with the present state policy.
Many portions OF the main state highways
but fifteen feet in width and these will be wdened
twenty feet he states. LAS traffic increases these
roads will have foot strips added until width of
forty feet has been reached, when will consider
parallel high speed highways"
The director also hopes to see the two main north
and south highways ultimately widened to 100 feet.
This is the right policy and the persons who de-
sire high speed highway will have to wait while
for their public track.

DIVORCE IS
 ON INCREASE
 IN FRANCE

PARIS, Dec. 20.-Divorce has increased by leaps and bounds since hte Naquet law authorized it in France. in 1881. In 1924. forty years after the passage of this law, there were 35,000 di- vorces, nearly 25 times as many as the first year.
 The number of divorces in- creased slowly It is only in the postwar years that it has attain ed proportions W h i c h m a n y Frenchmen regard as disquieting.
 Naquet. the author of the law. declared that the 'reestablish- ment of divorce would not in crease disunion in families" He thought it would rather decrease 1t, acting as a safety valve which consolidates marriage and fortifies the family"
 His predictions seem to have been short of the mark. In 1881. first year of the operation of his law, there were 1,657 divorces. Ten years later, this number had increased to 5,457. Twenty-three years later. tc 35.000.
 A single civil court in Paris recently pronounced 95 diyorces at one sitting.

POST SHIP MERE
 FROM BARRACKS
Capt. James Torrance Is Turkey Special for
 Barracks, Says Totten

Bringing a party 10 do Christmas shopping in Juneau. the U. s. Army ship Captain James Torrance, ar rived from Chilkoot Barracks last night. Capt. G. H. Totten and Mrs. Totten. Miss Kettle Brooks and Miss Louise Bassford, were aboard to purchase the Christmas turkey and all the trimmings, as Capt. Totten puts 1t, for the boys at the barracks.
 The Captain James Torrance is in charge of Capt. Cummins, who is q civilian deep-water captain. Capt. Cummins reported a rough trip from Haines for practically the entire distance.
 According to Capt. Totten the ship and the trip is a Turkey Special There is scarcity of the popular bird in and around Haines and Skagway and if the Chilkoot officer personnel and mon are to enjoy the Christmas repast in manner becoming U. s. Army Post, it is imperative that the party return to the barracks with the main course of the Christ mas dinner, if nothing else.
 Capt. Totten, commenting on the influenza situation in Lynn Canal district, said that Chilkoot Bar racks has so far escaped the epi- demic, there being only two or three light cases among the men at the barracks. Skagway, on the other hand, is hard hit by the
