HARMONY NEEDED IN COUNCIL

1t is certainly to be regretted that Ell Centros city
planning commission, recently appointed by Mayor
Clements, has been found illegal because of tech
nlcailty and the appointments Withdrawn.
The ordinance providing for the commission
passed by the city council July IT. to become effect
tive 30 days thereafter. The members of the commits
sion were appointed August T. before the ordinance
really became effective
However it was in effect Wednesday night of this
week when the council met the necessary 80 days hav
ing elapsed. When found thai the appointments
were Illegal, 1T would have been simple to withdraw
the appointments previously made and reappoint the
men selected Tor the commission, had the members of
the council been working in harmony.
Unfortunately such is not the case Disagreement
as to the personnel of the commission blocked any
action being taken with the result that the city
has an ordinance providing for city plan commission
but has no commission. When will be appointed is
probiematical, depending upon when the council
get together and agree appointments.
Until such is done, the council stands as failing to
carry out the wishes of the people The city planning
commission is needed and has important work to do
looking toward E Cenros future Delay is not desir-
able
One can not blame the six citizens appointed to the
commission for feeling somewhat chagrnned at the

A HOPE TO END WAR

The French government has granted the Lufthansa
Company, Germany's leading aviation organization
permission to fly its planes Fort Cherbourg
the principal seaport of France in order to speed up
delivery of mail between Germany and the United
States The mail bags will be dropped the deck of
the Bremen, Germanys recordbreakng transatlantic
liner.
Frances action is commendable because it indicates
less of the dstrust and suspicion that have marked
ations between France and Germany the Franco
Prussian War in 1870
But at the time will there be much necessity for
any nation guarding the secrets of its forts another
big war should come? Will not those forts which help
ed stem the German advance into France in 1914 be
obsolete as the cannon of Civil War days?
1t that war should come, death will rain from the
skies and what good will few forts be? The long
range cannon that bombarded Paris during the World
War amazed the entire world but since then aviation
with nonstop flights for planes of than 1000
miles and for dirigibles of than 6OO0 miles has
made the big Bertha" appear puny weapon of
war.
The next war cannot be confined TO combatant

For these reasons, the statesmen and people of the
world should do everything possible to prevent such
conflict Anything looking toward that end must be en-

want war and their representatives in international
councils must truly represent them

GETTING OUTDOORS

One OF the most promising signs for more healthy
nation in the future is the great spread of the fad of
spending time outdoors
The automobile, of course, has done much along
this line. Before motor began to Jam the high
ways, millions of children in the cities failed to get
the amount OF real country fresh air and sunshine that
they should have. Charitable organizations arranged
trips into the country for them just to get some fresh
air.
But now with the ownership of automobiles SO wide
ly distributed the number of families who cannot get
their children for brief periods least from the
comparatively impure air of the cities has greatly de-
creased
More people spending vacations at outdoor
camps than before. Golf courses swimming pools
tennis courts and other Fairgrounds crowded The
army of tin can tourists is increasing from year to
year. The sun tan fad has spread like wdfire over
the country and children with their scanty summer
clothing getting the greatest possible benefit out of

REL CNINC AND
FORMER TENNIS
QUEENS TO MEET
BY WILLIAM J. DUNN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

FOREST HILLS, l.. L., Aug. 23
W.P-The reigning queen and for
mer ruler, who hopes to return to
the throne, met today in a climatic
battle at the West Side Tennis club.
Helen Wills, whose goal is her
sixth national women IS title in sew
en- years, and Molla Mallory, who
would like to extend her great list
of American triumphs to nine, were
the principals in a match of unusual
interest.
Back in 1922 sturdy little girl
from the Pacific coast faced the
great Mrs. Mallory in match that
was to decide the championship of
the country. That match ended with
a victory for the older woman, 6-3,
6-l.' Experience was too much for
the youthful California girl.
The following year, ON the same
courts and on the courts where they
met today, the same pair was. op-
posed again. Helen, this time was Il
plt IdrSer anu stronger ana ner
bame had improved accordingly.
She literally smothered Mrs. NAL
lory with her terrific services, drives
and volleys, winning her first ma
tional title by score Of 60, 6-l.
Today it was Mrs. Mallory again
who stood between Helen and her
cha-.oes of another national cham
pionship. The odds are all with Miss
Wills.
The terrific battle Mrs. Mallory
waged in upsteeing Great Britain s
best, Miss Betty Nuthall, in the
quarter finals yesterday, served
only to stamp the former champion
us dangerous opponent.
The second semi-final match
bringing together Mrs. Phoebe Wat
son of Great Britain-the sole sur
vivor of five English stars who
started. this tourney-and Helen
Jacobs, of California, was regarded
as match for the right to meet
Miss Wills in the Saturday finals.
