THUGS NOT ALL TO BLAME

Newspapers quite frequently carry stories of out
RACES against and girlsstories that arouse the
wrath of honest citizens, place an unwhoesome fear
IN the minds of thousands of other women, and make
the average reader wonder what the world is coming
to and how will it all end.
Almost as frequently such stories occur the re-
ports of them relate that they resulted from women
accepting rides from strangers That is not necessarily
proof that they are bad women, but it certainly is
proof beyond dispute that they are silly and foolish
women.
In large cities or elsewhere the woman who minds
her business and conducts herself in way to de-
mand the respect which 80 per cent of men ntuitivey
extend to good woman, only minimum risk of
being molested
The woman who accepts a ride from strangers es-
pecially at night has but herself to blame and
is deserving of little sympathy when she willingly
places herself in the hands Of those who seek to do her
INJURY.
As long as there silly, Anticipated women and
girls who will flrt back from the sidewalk or street.

THE NAN WHO CAME BACK"

Politics, tragedies wars, rumors of war pole sit
ters, marathon dances, aviation records rum-run-
ming, divorces etc etc-with all of them tumbling
editors desk day after day it is refreshing
every now and then to receive the simple sentence
Ruth hits another home rum
Ruth is American institution as much as soda
pop, Ice cream cones, the MOVIES Colonel Charles
A Lindbergh himself.
Thousands of Americans scan the papers day after
day, to see if the "Bambino' has couted another
American bluej jackets the sea, marines down in
Nicaragua and over in China Yankee soldiers scatter
ed throughout the world. Yankee tourists doing
Europe all keep weather eye the radio and cables
to see II the day has brought Ruth step
record
There is something more to it than just the action
of big, husky giant swinging his weight baseball
1t is the fufillment of pledge the battle of man to
live up to promise.
After his disastrous 1922 season. when suspen-
sons for disobeylng ORDERS and too much mbbing of
forbidden liquors had dropped Ruth from his high
estate, the cry was raised that he through.
Sporting writers roasted him unmercifully his man
ager sent him home his teammates disgusted
with him.
Somebody, perhaps Ruth himself took stock of
things. The result dinner in New York, with
Ruth as host to the baseball writers of the American
league They had managed to reach his better self
by accusing him of throwing down the American kids,
whose idol he had been.
At the dinner he pledged his word to the
papermen that ne would stop drinking, that he would
get himself in good physical condition and stay that
way, that he would obey his managers orders, and
that he would break his record of 80 home runs in
season
He kept his word. 1t took him five years to keep
the latter part of the pledge, for not until last year
did he break his record. Instead of letting down
then he determined to do better and thus far this
year ahead of last years remarkable performance,
with every indication that he will establish new re-
cord.
The mere matter of a few home runs is not so i'm
porant. That Ruth has kept his pledge is important,
for he has reganed enviabe position, Of which
any man can be proud-he is again the idol of thou
sands OF American kids.

HOOFER'S HELP NEEDED

Imperial valley will await with considerable anti
cipaion Mr.. Hoovers remarks the Boulder Can
Won dam project which it is stated he will include IN
his address scheduled for Los Angeles Friday.
There has been some comment here that the
didate did not mention it specifically in his accep
tance speech last Saturday. This not to be wondered
at Boulder Canyon dam important as it is to US and
the entire west is only item in hundred deserv
ing of mention such time. To attempt to include
them all in a speech would be impossible.
Mr. Hoover has always been considered support
er Of the project. His speech here four years
ago left many in doubt. There were many supporters
of the project who did not favor the SWING ohnsOn
bill as it was written at that time. The bill has since
been changed to meet the honest objections Of many
who differed on the of legislation which woud
make the project possible.
AS an expert engineer, Mr. Hoover is thoroughly
conversant with the entire subject of Colorado river
control From his experience a member of the
Coolidge cabinet he is also familiar with the legisa
tive side of the project
Whatever he has to say the subject will be
straightforward, for he is no "pussyfooter" An out
and Out declaration from him in behalf of the Swing
Johnson bill will do much to help win the fight in the
senate next winter Imperial valley needs his sup
port and has reason to expect IT,

He married a Whetsell, and they

were the first settlers on Wam-
piers Ridge, which takes it's
name from them, settling there
as early probably as 1910. They
both were very religious, being
the first Methodists to live in
that community. They had sew
eral children. One of his daugh-
tiers, Elizabeth, married Jacob
Lambert, whose daughter Sarah

ried Squire Robinson. His son,
Chris, moved to Lynn County,
Missouri, and later his father
followed him there, evidently 9
short time before this letter was

his wife lived the rest of their
lives in Missouri. Another son,
David, accompanied his parents
to that state. Two other sons,
Harvey and Jessie, (mentioned

pier Ridge. Jessie Wampler was
the first County Surveyor of
Dickinson County.
