MORE LAND SALES

Listening to the radio Sunday night we're
somewhat surprised hear ourselves being urged to
take immediate advantage of opportunity to pur-
chase lands which real estate company, apparently
a subdivision promotion concern, is offering for sale
in Sunny Imperial Valley.
The project may have been entirely legitimate.
but the fact that priced at very low fig
ure today, be trebeIed automatically tomorrow and
then doubled in about two weeks had all the earmarks
of proposition of The referred to last week
We will lay ourselves open to the charge of gnor-
by asserting that know Of no bona fde egltl-
mate subdivision OF acreage sale in Imperial Valley
territory this time. Inquiries among several egiti
mate real estate operatives here resulted in the ad
vice that they know Of no such project at this ine.
The peryersenesS of fate decreed that we should
just tune in portion of the real estate saesmanS
propaganda so that we unable to tell from Just
where the sales talk being broadcast, to permit
checking up on its reliability.
1t is such things this that Imperial Valley must
watch. If the project is legitimate, we'll and good.
Nobody will suffer from it. But the other hand,
if flyby-nghts to be permitted to sell off our
rial Valley agricultural lands, we are going to let
ourselves in for beautiful assortment of commercial
and agricultural black eyes
The fly-by-nightS are careful to stay within the
law Stephen BarnSon, state real estate commission
err recently issued instructions that advertisements of
land to be sold in Imperial Valley should carry ref
to possible benefits from Boulder Canyon dam.
The of land the fybynights offer for sale could
not be helped by bakers dozen of Boulder Canyon
dams. The sharpers careful to stay Just within
the law and at the time pull in the gullible.
ANY suspected activity in connection with the sale
OF Imperial Valley lands especially where they OF
fered by unknown concerns. should be Immediately
ported to bona fde real agent direct to the
state real estate commissioners office.

STILL BLAZE TGNTTES
 OLD RACIAL HATREDS

CONSTANTINOPLE, April A. A spark from Greek bootleggers exploding distillery, hidden in one of the old tight-packed slums of Constantinople, created blaze that not only destroyed 500 buildings housing 1000 Greek families, but threw into relief bold silhouettes of Turkish nationalistic pride and of Greek suspicion of all that is Turkish. The flames of racial hatred, thas ignited after sanguine persons had felt they were extin- guished in the new republic, have even affected the diplomatic corps.
 Because the French water com pany which holds a concession granted by the old regime, alleged ly failed to supply water at the time of the conflagration, the Turk ish official organ "Miliett" has de- manded that directors of foreign companies who were here under the old regime of capitulations, should be shipped out of the newly inde- pendent republic.
 Sir George Clark, British Ambas- sador, was reported to have visited the scene of the disaster and to have talked with a Greek priest, so the Constantinople daily "Aksham," l" owned by another prominent Turk ish deputy, charged the Ambassa- dor with pro-Greek and hence anti Turkish sentiments. Sir Georges unexpected reply that it was his wife and not he himself who had visited the fire, closed the deputy's open attack.
 The incident has had another eff feet, that of rousing the ire of the Greeks and of some other embas- sies because Sir George did not

 It was at Berlin that the organi- zation was started under the name it carries until the congress cf Paris, namely International Ali ance for Women's Suffrage"
 It had then only a handful Of adhering societies; now it is a vast federation with affiliated associa- tions in 42 countries.
 In inviting all friends of the cause to assemble at Berlin on June IT, the executive committee has is sued a proclamation which declares that the league of nations still has as one of it's big tasks the suppress sion of the white slave traffic. Enumerating causes for joy, the committee points out that there is now not one continent where women do not vote, that women are now admitted to all the profes- sions and that the principle of equality of wages for equality of work and production is advancing slowly. but surely.
 The manifesto continues; "OI-
