new INDUSTRY IS
ANNOUNCED FOR
IMPERIAL VALLEY
Sesbania To Be Used In
Manufacture OF Insul-
ating Products.

\ new industry for Imperial
Valley, which has been getting un-
der way quietly for several months
without any great amount Of pub
licity, it the growing of scsbania
for commercial manufacturing pur-
poses according to Sterling G. Lines
consuming engineer and president
of Linotcx Insulation Products Ltd,
located at 1870 Worth street, Los
Angeles.
"We now have plant at Los
Angeles equipped to produce Limo
tex for insulation purposes from
scSbania," Lines said today, "and
we have already shipped some Of
the plant to Los Angeles for that
purpose. We expect to continue
cuttings throughout the fall, prob
ably up to the latter part of De
ccmher -
"Ncxt year we hope to be able
to handle between 10000 and 30
coo tons. Our company is ready to
purchase the sesbania, baled, or will
buy as it stands in the field
''Our corporation is Il closed one,
with no stock selling scheme and
we are not asking the people Of
Imperial Valley for anything for
which we are not ready and willing
to pay. Neither do we plan any
valleEwidc crusade to urge ranch
ers to discard other crops in order
to grow sesbania. We know how
much we can use now. and future
needs viii be cared for as they
arise, the company contracting for
additional acreage as it may be
needed"
The proposed industry, Lines
said, had it's origin last year when
he shipped carload of sesbania
from Brawley TO Il plant in Spring
field, Ohio. where it was worked
into insulation. The fine quality of
the sesbahia aroused Interest in
raising it commercially in Imperial
Valley.
Provision for baling the scsbania
for shipment presented some diff
culticS, he said. and this has now
been sofveds Sesbania will yield
from ] = to tons per acre 1t re-
quirCS Il large amount of water and
sometimes attains growth Of Ia
feet if permitted to remain uncut
as long as possible.
".t big factor to he considered
in raising sesbania in Imperial Val
lev is its reclamation possibilities
uidoa said. "Sesbania Will grow
almost anywhere. We hope to in
tcrest owners of large tracts OF land
that are now being allowed to lie
idle because they viii not grow
the ordinary crops, to SOW them
to sesbania. In this way they will
not only be raising Il crop that will
bring them a good return but they
will bring their land to state of
fertility where other crops can be
grown on it if the owners so desire.
"EXtensivP experiments have
proved that LinoteX is in a class
by itself rs an insulator. Contrary
to the opinion held by some. Limo
tex is not a wall board. 1t is an
lnsulator and our plant produces
il for that purpose"
Lines said that eventually. as the
demand Increases, he hopes to see
scsbania growing develop into one
of the major industries in the val
ley, playing its part with other val
ley crops in providing handsome
income for this community,

NO WALL FLOWERS
 IN CAPITAL TODAY
Washington Mothers Bring
 About Long Stag Lines

Washington, March 25 R-There are few wall flowers at debutante parties in Washington.
 Though the ratio of women to men in the capital is reckoned at 1e to 1, careful mothers and chap erons see to it that wnsome debs have plenty of cavaliers.
 Because Of this wise and deter mined foresight, the girls fairly dance the soles off their slippers in single evening. There are no disconsolate damsels draped along the walls.
 Stag lines often extend half the length of the ball room. A deb. utante must divide one dance among three or four men. That makes her look very popular. The stags "cut in without ceremony. Debs smile and nod gracously and moment later they ditch these partners for new ones.
 Midshipmen and cadets in uni lolHi' young men With a foreign accent from the legations and en- bassles and bachelor members of congress line up along the dance floor. As the evening progresses the "cutting-in" becomes fast and furious.
 Debbie's spirits must never flag, her smile never waver. no matter how many hours she has been danc- ing. That's the social code.
 Next seasons debutantes are be- ginning now to plan for their con- ing out parties while those of the present season are announcing their engagements. Several of the past winters crop have married.
