BOMBING CONDEMNED

The Press condemns most vigorously,
the outrage at Imperial last mig ght, which
took the life of one Filipino laborer and
seriously injured several others.
1t brings most forcibly to US the real
ization that we have racial problem
thrust upon US, one that will call for
clear heads, cool judgment and patience
on both sides
Murder-for last nights affair was
murder-will not help solve it.
There may not have been murder IN
the hearts of those who placed the bomb
in position. We very much doubt that
there was. More than likely they wished
to scare the Filipino workers, but only
fool would use such an instrument to
scare, its death dealing potentialities be-
ing apparent to any sensible person.
Nor do we believe it is the work Of
real American working men. The per-
petrators of the deed may think they
are entitled to that title but are they?
For days past there has been an un-
defined rumbling, minor incidents eXag-
gerated into serious affairs rumors,
veiled threats etc. against the FlllpmoS.
They have been accused of keeping work
from American laborerS. Perhaps they
have. but to a limited degree for IN the
main the class of work performed by the
Filipinos is not in conflict with Amerl-
can labor here.
The persons who have been doing the
most obiecting are those who have never
made the fullest use of the opportunity
which birth in this country has opened
to them Many of them are incapable
either by temperament or training, OF
keeping a steady job
A few. actuated by what they like to be-
leve is chivalry but which cannot be
called that by the most extreme Stretch-
ing of the imagination resent attentlons
paid to white women by Flllpmos. NO
Filipino ever yet paid attention TO
white woman unless he was encouraged
to do so, and the type OF white woman
who would encourage his attentions de-
serves whatever comes to her.
Not that we condemn the Filipino as
an inferior. but he is of different race,
and it is not in the natural order OF
things for races to mix socially or con-
nubially. -.
The Filipino is here by sanction OF the
United States government, which is his
guardian in a moral sense. He is entlt-
led to the fullest protection OF It's laws
and Institutions the same as we Would
demand such protection in the Philippine
Islands.
The problems created by his presence
are serious but not so serious that they
cannot be solved. But the solution Will
not come by beatings, murderous as
saults in the dark and cOwardly attacks
bv ruffians, eager to take the law INTO
their own hands to crafty the mob spirit.
If anv responsible for last nights at
fair were fools enough to believe they

4 SPLENDID IDEA

In reading over the school notes which
appear in this issue of the Press, we
notice what appeals to us an excellent
plan being carried out in one of the class
es to give the pupils better understand
ing of foreign countries and foreign peo-
pie
This particular class has IA pupils
whose parents or grandparents were
born in IA different foreign countries.
Each pupil is to tell the class of the Gus
toms, industries and history of partlc-
ular country obtaining his information
directly from his parents or grandpar-
entS.
In this way the pupils will not only
get the information on these countries
in language which they can understand,
it is bound to give them a more kindly
feeling toward each of the countries
about which they are informed.
Too often we are interested only IN the
country from which our parents or ear
ler ancestors came and are inclined to
minimize the Importance of other ma
tions in world affairs. and their contri
buttons to the arts and sciences, history,
industry and commerce.
Studies of this sort will do much to re-
move the anti-foreign atmosphere from
the minds of the pupils and will teach
them that all of US here are merely the
product of older nations, each of which
has contributed splendid men and
women who have played honorable and
sterling parts in building up the great
est nation in the world.
No child attending our schools should
he made to feel inferior because of the
nationality from which he comes. He
will not feel inferior, with his fellow pu-
pills showing interest in the story he has
to tell of the nation whose blood he car

DEFENSE MAKES
new MOTION IN
DAVIDSON CASE

Another knot in the tangled skeln
of William Caine Davidson's million
dollar damage suit against San
Francisco officials will be unraveled
December %, the date set by Judge
Vaughn Thompson for settlement OF
bill OF exceptions presented yes
terday by Thomas F, Finn and II. l
Mulcrevy
The bill Of exceptions is to Judge
Thompson order denying the mo-
tions Of Finn and Mulcrevy TO set
aside default entered by Davidson S
attorney, Don c. Bitler, when the
ex-sheriff and the county clerk OF
San Francisco county failed TO ap-
pear in court here on the date set
for hearing Of the damage suit.
At that time Davidson dismissed
charges against numerous other de-
PENDANTS, including District Attor-
ney Matthew Brady of the bay
county.
Since entering of default Finn and
Mulcrevy have contested hotly every
move made by the plaintiff.
Should no action be taken by
Judge Thompson on their bill OF
exceptions. the only avenue of action
open TO the defendant will be an
appeal on Judge ThompSon's ruling
with regard to the motion TO set
aside default.

EIGHT BOOKED
AT COUNTY JAIL
BY FEDERAL MEN

Four o'clock in the afternoon Is
not usually such a busy hour around
the county jail.
That may be the reason lmmlgra-
ton authorities, customs officers
and county men chose O'Clock last
night to rush the doors OF the jail
with eight prisoners.
For a while it looked like a jail
break going the wrong way.
All of the officers wanted to book
their men first and get away. Ed
die Nett of the Jail welcoming com
mittee assured the prisoners they
we're welcome to stay as long as they
wished.
Promptly at 4 O'Clock five imml-
grafton prisoners stepped through
the door of the Jail, escorted by OIL
ficers. They were Felix Rubaleona
23 Hilario Fimbrcs. %; Manuel
Morales, 81; Carlos hrtc!cjo. 26, and
Jesus Flores, %.
On their heels followed two GUS
toms and one county prisoner. Pa
cifico Robles, 81, was the county pri-
soner. held on charge OF failure
to provide for his wife. Andres
Flores, 38, and Manuel Salido. ~
were the customs prisoners, charged

probably were) they have only succeed
ed in making every Filipino in Imperial
Valley today, real menace to the peace
and security of its various communities
1t is but natural for them to resent such
a cowardly attack.
A bad matter has been made much
worse and Imperial Valley is placed be-
fore the rest of the nation in an unfavor-
able light, comparable with Chicago,
Herrin and other places where law and
order have been sacrificed to the rule of
the bullet and bomb.
The honor of Imperial county and the
sense of fair play held by citizens here.
demand vigorous action on the part OF
the authorities. which will ferret out
those responsible for the bombing and
make them responsible in the courts of
the people for the outrage they have
committed.
Again we condemn the bombing as
cowardly, un-Amercan and in no sense
in keeping with Imperial Valleys true
attitude toward the foreign born within
its borders.

than one trip before I get enough
presents. I'm glad Santa Claus
told me where he left them-at the
different stores III stop and pick
up as many as l can, now, and
come back for more.
So Uncle Wiggily hoped to one
top store where he got a lot OF
funny jumping Jacks which he
placed in the big bag, Then he
went to another toy shop and got
some ice skates and roller skates.
OF course the roller skates couldn't
be used until summer, but that
would come along in time And then
the rabbit gentleman hoped to an
other toy place and got some dolls
and runs and make believe fire en-
gines and popgms and so many
things that I can't remember them
all.

ny uncle to himself.
Just then he heard a rustling ir
the bushes and voice asked:
What have you in that bag?"
Oh, it's a Bad Chap!" thought
Uncle Wiggily. Shivering. But il
wasn't. 1t was Uncle Butter, the
goat.

bag" whispered the rabbit

ing.
Then he hoped along to the talk
ing pictures and Uncle Wiggily set
his big bag down behind bush
to rest. But when he went 10 pick
it up again. to hop along, he stop
ped suddenly. For out in front of
the bush was the old Fuzzy Fox.
He hasn't seen me yeti" thought
Mr.. LongearS Maybe I can fool
him and get home with the Christ
mas presents. I must try!" And if
the taxi will please stop footing its
horn and making the hat jump off

you how Uncle Wiggily scared the
Fox. ~

JOINT MEETINGS
INAUCURATED BY
FARM CENTERS

An innovation in Iarm center
meetings has been planned for this
month, when, instead of the usual
meetings, two joint meetings with
exceptionally fine programs will be
held.
The first will be held the eve
ing OF December II in the Holtyille
Eastside school, and the second
will be held Friday December u,
in the McCabe school Both meet
ingS will begin at O'Clock aud as
especially good programs will be
given 1t is hoped that farm center
members will take advantage of
the opportunity offered.
Dewey Long of the division of ag-
ricultural engineering at the COL
( lege OF agriculture of the UniverSl
" of California, will speak a. the
meetings on earth construction.
Long has been doing research
work for some time on the problems
! Of adobe, rammed earth, and pour
cd mud, construction, and in this
work has studied a number of the
valley adobe buildings. He was in
the valley in January of 1927 after
the earthquake, in order to inveSti-
gate the type of earth constructed
buildings which withstood the
shock.
Since buildings of earth con-
struction are admirably suited to
the valley and since Long is an
expert on the question, his talk will
appeal TO many as he will be able
to give valuable pointers as to the
best methods OF construction for
the local climate and conditions.
j. j. Deuel., head of the law and
utilities department of the Ca!ifor-
mia Farm Bureau Federation, who
las been frequent visitor in the
valley and who is we'll known mere,
will give a talk on matters of farm
bureau interest. Deuel. is a force
full speaker and his talks are al
ways enjoyed.

onStration agent, will show a num-
Der of slides taken of last years

Hips and Abdomen.

That middle-aged, settled look that
many of us begin To dread In our sos
or 40s is largely q thickening and sag
ging Of the large muscles of the whole
body. 1t is especially noticeable from
the side and back view. A pad Of flesh
often appears on the side Of the leg Just
below the hip and the waist and stom-
ach muscles are soft and fabby.
The first step toward arresting this
tendency Of the figure to become thick
and awkward Is 60 cultivate good pos
ture when sitting, standing or walking.
Stretch the spine; make yourself IS tail
as you can, and keep your chin level,
shoulders well back and head erect. Do
not let your chin sag forward. II your
work necesSitates leaning over . desk
you should straighten up and sit with
your spine well back, not on the edge
of your chair. Get up and walk around
and stretch yourself every once in q
while. This tendency toward wide
hips and pads Of flesh on the side Of
the legs and roll Of fat across the alb
domen Is pronounced among sedentary
workers. This type Of worker needs to
take regular stretching exercises and
special exercises every day to counter
act this tendency. Besides regular daily
exercises, she should plan TO indulge IN
good game Of tennis or other active
outdoor sport that calls for vigorous
exercise and walking. am suggesting
q few exercises that may be taken reg
ularly every day.
1. Do stationary running for several
minutes every night and morning.
2. Stand erect, hands on hips and
feet together. Sink to half squatting
position, with knees together and back
perpendicular. Slowly rise and repeat
10 times.
8. Same position and sink to o full
deep knee bend. Try to kick out one
foot forward and execute the steps Of
the Russian dance. Repeat 10 times.
4. Stand erect with one foot o little
behind the other 70 give o firm foot
hold. Stretch up your arms high over
your head. Bend over from the waist,
knees straight, and touch the floor with
the palms Of your hands. Repeat every
night and morning from 10 TO 20 times.
S. Lie on your back and keeping your
heels on the floor rise to o sitting posi-
ton with the arms crossed over the chest:
begin the exercise by tossing the arms
forward to give the body impetus. When
it becomes easy to perform In both Of
these positions, increase its pull by
clasping the hands at the back Of the
neck, thus coming to sitting position;
this sitting position should always be
erect.
s. Deep breathing exercises practised
three times q day after meals help re-
