BROADWAY CODE
CAUSES DEATH
OF STAGE GIRL

NEW YORK, Mar. 81. UPl =
Allyn King, whose blonde ioveliness
was once chronicled in the flicker
ing lights of Broadway stage life,
was dead today, a martyr to the
harsh code broadway assumes, that
"they never come back. -
Convinced that her career rs
star was over, the former Ziegfeld
beauty died in Bellevue hospital yes
terday several hours after she had
thrown herself from a Greenwich
village apartment. Both arms and
legs were broken and her skull frac-
tured and only her last words, -
did it, because l can never return
to Broadway remained to recall
her career.
Elevated by Florenz Ziegfeld from
New Haven cabaret girl to a star
in her own right, Allyn King became
one of the most popular of his stars.
Then in 1921 came the craze for
boyish' figures, and her contract
said sic must weight 115 pounds.
She lived for months on a strict diet
and then finally she was carried to
sanitarium, physical and mental
wreck.
For two years she was there and
finally recovered only to find she
could never regain her former place.

work rather than to make it more diff
cult for them.
Moral law and public opinion are Of
ten stronger than any statute that can be
written, and they are certain to be so if
technicality is necessary to make the law
stick 1t would appear on the face OF II
that the district is attempting to enforce
a technicality where the veterans and the
churches are concerned.
If the district believes that retrench-
ment is necessary, there are many other
places where it would find greater merit
in so doing, than by picking on the veteT-
ans and the churches.

UNCLE WIGGLY's PANCIKEs

foot of the stairs leading up to the
bedroom of Mr.. Longears.

called back. And then, being al
most dressed, he stepped out into
the hall in front of his room and.
looking down tie stairway asked ::
"Where are you going, my dear, so
carly in the day?"
"Just out to do little shop
ping" answered the rabbit lady.
Il hear they have some nice new
radios down at the three and four

"Oh, yes," answered Uncle Wig.

Mrs. Longears. "Now ] am going
shopping and as soon as Nurse Jane
gives you your breakfast she is
going TO meet me downtown. Good

"Good- -byi' called Uncle Wiggily
again and then, being quite dressed,
even to his red necktie which match
ed his pink nose, he slid down the
hanister railing TO get his break
fast.
"What is there to eat this morn

gily as he looked at the newspaper
which was printed on a large cab
bage leaf, with slices of yellow car
rots for letters.
.'Pancakes and maple sugar" " an

WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE?

INDICATIONS are that the Imperial r.
rlgatlon District is going to have some ey-
piainlng to do to the ey-service men and
churches of the valley following an an
nouncement made by the districts asses
sor and tax collector that exemptions
heretofore permitted them will no long
er be allowed
Ihe assessor has the backing of legal
ruling by the districts legal counsel. vet
TINS Will not explain why what has been
legal heretofore Over period of several
years, is now illegal.
1t used to be the common cry back in
I9l7-18 that nothing would be too good
Tor the boys when they came back. but
opinions change considerably in decade
ana those whose patriotism is inspired
solely by the rf1usic of band and par
ade easily forget it when the excitement
is over.
II the exemption allowed the veterans
was illegal, the district is entitled to col
Iect Tor at least portion of the back
taxes. We cannot help wondering if it
will try to do So
Well qualified lawyers assert that the
exemption permitted the veterans is leg
al. Ii the eX-service men are assured
they are within their rights in claiming
the exemption, the district is going to
have fight on its hands preventing them
from doing so.
There may be some doubt about the
church exemption, though the ministers
cite decision given by the California su-
preme court in favor of the First Metho-
dist church at Santa Monica as proof
that the church can be exempted.
Certainly if there is any way the ex-
emption hitherto extended can be contin-
ued for the churches, few will oppose it.
There is not congregation in the valley
that is not in debt and continually strug-
Cling under a burden. Decent men and
women would not live in community
without churches and good citizens will
do whatever they can to encourage their

was rag with some grease on it in
dish near the stove and rubbing
this grease on the griddle made it

POST OFFICE GROWING

Positive proof of the growth of Ell Cen
tro is shown by the increase allowed by
the post office department in order to
provide adequate service in this city.
Commencing tomorrow, there will be
five carrier routes in the city instead of
three as heretofore, and there will be two
deliveries daily throughout city where
as this has been the case only in the bus
iness district.
The additional service was allowed by
the department only after a complete
survey had been made, which showed the
necessity for increasing facilities here.
At present there is waiting list of more
than 100 who desire to obtain post office
boxes, and they are available only as
others relinquish them.
Ell Centro has practically outgrown the
present post office building and the in
creased service means cramped quarters
for the post office staff.
Post office receipts have shown a
steady and substantial growth during the
past several years. This is barometer
of business conditions here which cannot
be sidestepped or ignored. 1t indicates
that Ell Centro's growth is constant and
permanent.
Need for federal building is appar-
ent and it is hoped the government will
recognize the need at an early date.
