RALEIGHS EXECUTION
Oct. %

OCLs %
ON Oct. %, 1918, Sir Walter
~ Raleigh, English courtier, navi-
gator and man Of letter, was exc
cuted at the Tower in Westminster.
Though a great favorite with
Queen Elizabeth, in whQse reign he
fitted out an expedition which re-
suited in the discovery and tenn
porary occupation of Virginia, Ra-
leigh never won the favor of King
James, who succeeded to the throsse
on the death Of Elizabeth.
James, fro mthe first, regarded
Raleigh with suspicion and dislike.
Raleigh was accused of completely
in plot against the king and was
sentenced to death.
James, however, did not venture
to execute, and Raleigh instead was
sent to the tower, where for thir-
teen years he remained a prisoner.
During his imprisonment he de-
voted himself to literary pursuits,
and wrote his History of the World.
In 1916 Raleigh procured his re-
lease and sailed for Guiana. Upon
his return, two years later, he was
arrested and executed, nominally by
virtue of the former sentence.
1t was through Raleigh that the
potato and tobacco, which he found
in Virginia, we're introduced into
England.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE :

The overanxious mother makes the
situation worse by her constant at
tention.
For such mother it is well to
point out that the Indian squaw
puts her baby on her back and pays
no attention to it for hours. If the
child is too greatly encouraged to
sleep, it becomes fixed on the sub
ject.
It is much better to put a child to
bed and to take it for granted that
it will fall asleep at once without
further attention. 1t is understood
that the ventilation will be suffi-
cient; the child will be warm, but
not perspiring. that it will not be
too tired, but that it will have had
sufficient exercise during the day
to want some rest.

You are advocating a return to
the time when Uncle Sam will re-
lieve great corporations of income
tax only to saddle heavy burdens
of liquor consumption upon the
American publicly putting Uncle
Sans stamp of approval upon
traffic that never can be regulated.
The only way for the traffic to be
regulated is to relegate it to the
dark ages when intelligence and
keen mindedness were not at pre-
MUM.
Why should we have alcohol?
What good does it do? How many
homes does it make happy? How
many Keen minded scholars are

Liquor has been king in the United
States every since the country was
founded. Her fiber has been inter-
woven with the stuff for the simple
reason that he had not fully grown
into manhood-but now that liberty
has grown and we believe in real
freedom-not license-it is time for
liquor to be dethroned. But, with
her age old responsibility, is it any
wonder that in ten years miracles
have not been performed?
Because prohibition has been
placed in the hands and control
of men who are sometimes playing
politics and allow corruption to
creep in, is no reason at all why
prohibition is not a good thing.
MIR. Editor, you have a high trust
placed within your care.
You can take sides with rackets,
rum and vice or you can champion
the cause OF advancement and pub
lie welfare. Will you betray that
sacred trust placed within your
hands by virtue Of your Office, or
will you do honor to it7
You perhaps will find that in the
long run it viii nay you to ally your
self with decent citizens in uphold

law, or you will find yourself swept
away in a tide of communism and
revolution which has no respect for

IA eron of London there are four
types of disordered sleep in child
hood-Sleeplessness and continued
crying in young infants, sleepleSs-
ness in older children, night terrors
and bed-wetting at night.
For sleeplesSnesS and continued
crying in young infants DR.. Cam
eron considers three factors reSpon-
Sible-pain, inherited nervous state
and bad management of the child.
Among the causes of pain is the
swallowing of air in feeding which

Presidential Anger

His bitter invectve against Ralph S. Kelley of the
interior department for challenging the admins
STATIONS oil shae policy and against the newspapers
which printed KeleyS charges in full, hardly will add
to the Presidents reputation for poise and fairness
If Kelley is liar, he must be proved one. Shout
ing and calling Of names simply rallies more public
support to Kelley who has earned fair hearing for
his charges by his twenty-five years government serv-
ice.
1t is too bad that the past record of the interior
department has made the pfolic suspicious whenever
oil scandals are mentioned The President just will
have to put up with that situation even though it
strains his patience at time of economic depres-
sion, prohibition failure and election troubles.
The newspapers have not supported the Kelley
charges, the President implies. They merely have
demanded the obvous-that the charges be proved
or disproVed by responsible nonpartisan body.
That demand is not met by the hasty justice de-
partment exoneration of the interior department or
by any other method which Srnacks of the admins
tration investigating itself.
The President will not hear the last of these
charges unless he submits them to impartial inyesti-
cation. If he doesn't, congress will.

Kepler Honored BY Science
for Giving World His
Great Ldws of Planetary
Motions.
CCIENTITS this year are observ-
- ing the tercentenary Of the
death of one Of the greatest fig
ures in the history OF science.
He was Johannes Kepler, the Ger
man astronomer, who first formu-
lated the laws of the motions Of the
solar system. He was born in 1871
and died in 1880. His story is one of
the most interesting in the annals
Of science.
Modern astronon1y-some histo-
rians even would say modern civ
lization-started with the publica-
ton in 1913 of de Revolutionibus
Orbium Coelestium." The Latin
title means "On the Revolutions of
Celestian Spheres" Its author was
the Polish monk, Copernicus.
In the book, Copernicus set forth
the theory that the planets revolved
around the sun. For the preced-
ing sixteen centuries the Ptolemaic
theory that the sun and planets
circled around the earth had held
sway.
Copernicus, however. did not have
any adequate knowledge Of the true
orbits of the planets.
The next important figure upon
the scene is Tycho Brahe, the great
Danish observer, who made more
accurate observations Of the plan
cts than had been made by any
astronomer up to that time.
Near the end of his life, Tycho
sent for Kepler to become his assist
ant, and through analysis Of Tycho's
observations, Kepler deduced his
great laws of planetary motions.

AS far as we are concerned we are
willing to rate them as two mighty good
high school football men, who have ac
comphShed wonders this year in round
ing out two fine teams.
But we certainly are going to challenge
Randall Hendersons statement in the
CaleXico Chronicle that CaleXico has
had superior coaching in the funda-
mentals of football We saw the two
teams play here two weeks ago, and we
didn't observe that the CaleXico Bulldogs
were any smarter more clever or more
polished than the Spartans. An analy-
sis of that game shows the Spartans
made six first downs to five for the Bull
dogs and also gained more yardage than
the border team. Not single funda-
mental in sight.
What the fundamentals are to which
Randall refers. has US puzzled.
He thinks CaleXico has an even chance
to win Thanksgiving day. Well concede
him point and state we think they have
more than an even chance. They are
playing in their own backyard, in the
daytime, plus the psychology of the day
and the occasion. The bright lights may
have bothered them two weeks ago, blind
ing them somewhat so that they could
not recognize fundamental when it rose
up to confront them.
Ed Covington will probably slip wish
bone in each players moleskins Thurs
day, so Central had better doll up with
a few rabbits feet
Yep, We'll concede Calexico a better
than even chance, but will also go on
record as saying that if they do win,
they are going to know when the final
gun pops off that they have been play
ing team that plays real football, even
though it may not know fundamental

OLD NAME GOOD ENOUGH

Is 1t Hoover dam?
Since the ground breaking ceremony
at Las Vegas several weeks ago, we note
that there is tendency among newspa-
pers and press associations to refer to
the Colorado river project as Hoover
dam.
AS near as we can find out the name
was given to the dam by Secretary Will
bur- possibly with the assistance of the
junior senator from California, the Hon.
Sam Shortridge, who figured so promi-
nently in the ground breaking ceremony
and so "improminently" as Amos and
Andy might say, in the legislative fight
to obtain the dam.
Just what authority these gentlemen
had for christening the dam is a matter
that few know anything about. The
two men most responsible for the dam,
Senator Hiram W. Johnson and Con-
gresham Phil D. Swing, were not even
present at the ground-breaking cere-
mony. To the best Of our knowledge
they were not even consulted about NAM
ing the dam.
In the lack of any official informa-
ton that the dam has been legally and
officially named after the President, we
intend to call it by the name it has borne
for years-Boulder dam OF Boulder Can
yon dam. 1t would be a nice courtesy to
the President to name the dam after him
but we can think of many other names
that would sound equally we'll and that
might be giving recognition where recog-
milton is due.

". C. COSTELLO,
Manager

During last weeks cold spell, when
all of US felt so uncomfortable unless
we were close to the fireplace, family
was found existing in tent house 1eW
miles from FL Centre, in extreme want
and suffering.
They were not grouped around fire
place A common oil lamp was the only
thing in the way Of heat about that tent.
An unselfish mother was sitting IN the
cold. shaking and shivering, in order that
her children might go to bed and have
sufficient covering to keep warm.
Of food there was only a scant sup
ply. Of the common necessities OF life
there was an equal scarcity. Two mem
bers of the family were Ill and in need
of medical attention.
That's too bad" you say, Il wish l
had known about it, for | would like to
help"
Somebody did know about it. Some
body did something about it, too. Some
body was interested enough to go out
in the bitter cold at night and search for
that family until it was found, just as
Someone Else sought once for lost
sheep.
That somebody was the Red Gross.
And this particular case was only one Of
AZ cases of similar nature which have
been cared for by the Red Cross this
month.
AND Ell CENTRO IS THROWING
DOWN THE RED CROSS.
That's the shame and the pity of it.
We are so blastedly SNUG and self-satis-
fled We can manage to conjure up few
crocodile tears when cases such as the
above are cited to US. Too bad" and
isn't it a pity That is the extent of
our charity.
There are hundreds Of people right in
Ell Centre today who can afford to give
a dollar to the Red Cross just as easily
as they can raise their hand, and they
have not done IL. There are many others
who have given a little but who could
give more.
We hate to think that this community
which we call home, and that means
where charity should begin, is not char
liable. We hate to think there is man,
woman or child in El Centro who would
not suffer little in order to help some
one who was suffering more. We hate
to think that the American Red Cross,
THE Greatest Mother in the World is
being thrown down, denied and refused
by our fellow citizens in El Centre, but
the facts prove that this is true. We hate
to think there are any here so hard
hearted as not to believe that taking care
of the less fortunate is duty for the
more fortunate. That also seems to be
true.
It's nice to have plenty of cigarettes,
tobacco and candy, see all the shows we.
want, enjoy the dances, sport around in
our cars, and indulge in the luXuries.
It's Just too awful to have to give up
a whole dollar that may go to help some
poor mother relieve the hunger and want
of the children who are as dear to her
as yours are to you.
