BACk THE TEAM

Friday night FL Centro will have its
first taste of night football. which has
proved immensely popular in coast CIR
ces and which crowd Of 1000 persons
at Brawlev last week, seemed to Indicate
would be Just as popular in Imperial Val
ley.
Last Fridays contest at Brawley was
not only a football game, it was also an
excellent exhibition Of town loyalty
Brawley was there en- masse behlnd Its
football team.
Businessmen who had not cut up
"monkeyshines in many years. sang the
Brawley high school songs. having been
drilled in them for several days previ-
ouSly. They also sold tickets up and
down BraWley'S streets. to make certain
their team had plenty Of spectators
at the game. The team was not consld-
cred merely a high school group OF Juve-
niles; it belonged as much to the grown
ups as it did to the student body at BraW-
ley high school Not only did belong
but does belong.'A
Why should not the same spirit mani
fest itself here in El Centre? The young
sters over at Central Union are as much
f. Centro'S Youngsters as the boys and
girls up in Braw1ey. belong to that town.
They are Just as clever, just as important
in the life Of FL Centro and Just as de-
serving OF cooperation from the business
men and others.
II takes Just as many bumps and bruis
es to make good on Central Unions
team as il does on Brawley's; Just as
much self-sacrifice and loyalty TO the
school.
When Central Union team trots out
FRIDAY night for its first league game, It
should have the men and women OF this
city solidIy behind it. There are fathers
and mothers with youngsters N Central
Union who never attend any Of the school
events and who do not seem to care
whether there is such q thing as high
school or not If they take this attitude
they should not be surprised if the same
idea is adopted by their childrenHot only
with regard TO school spirit, but IN their
attention TO their studies. If the parents
don care, why should the children?
Central Union is our school,. We need
only look around our business circles
here to see young fellows who only afew
years ago were carrying the BALI for
Central Union, and we may also see the
young women. who as girls, Loyalty
cheered them on. The number of Cen
tral Union graduates who are taking
their places in FL Centro's business world
is increasing each year.
The boys who will be out on the field
Friday night are the men who will be
playing their part in FL Centro's life
within few years. If we want them to
be the right kind of men for FL Centre,
we must show an interest in them during
their school days.
Central Unionsstudents are a part of
US. If we don't back them up to the limit
and then some more, we are entitled to
be branded as cutters. Who wants that

4 BIT OF CONTRAST

:. few weeks ago we read day after
day of the terrific heat throughout the
middle west, with its attending drought
which destroyed crops worth millions OF
dollars.
Today instead of being too much heat
it is too much cold, with snow and real
wintry conditions existing from Wyom-
ing across almost to New England. At
least a score Of lives have been claimed by
the weather, and property damage IS
enormous.
Also, a few weeks ago, Imperial Valley
folks were grumbling about the heat.
But they are not grumbling about the
cold now. Imperial Valley is entering on
its most delightful period of the year,
when nights are cool but not cold and
davs are balmy, the combination uniting
to make life more enjoyable here than
anywhere else.
To our way of thinking it is much bet
ter to have few weeks of real hot wealth
er, followed by long period of delight
ful weather than to have the same heat
followed by cold so intense as to make
living miserable affair, and with all the
other undesirable elements of the wealth
er standing in the offing, ready to do
their stuff at any moment.

Hot Dog Is Aged
Hound, Vienna Finds

VIENNA. July 26-tP-The sue
culent sausage known IN America
as hot dog" and in the rest Of the
civilized world as Frankfurter, cele-
brates this year its one hundred
and twenty-fifth birthday.
Despite its given name. the popu-
lar titbit is not a native Of Frank
furt. 1t first saw the light Of day
here in 1905 when Johann Georg
Lahner evolved it. Lahner. how
ever. had learned the butcher trade
III the German city and named his
sausage after that town.
The firm or Lahner still exists
here and ii was on the i25th ami
versary OF its foundation that the
history of the Frankfurter was COM
piled. The firm still possesses an
order from Milan, dated 1912, call
ing for supplies.
The pre-war emperor OF AuStro-
Hungary. Francis Joseph. was an
ardent consumer Of hot dogs" and
nearly every morning when he was
in residence he sent 10 an eating
house near the palace for a pair Of
sausages and a glass of foaming
beer. These he consumed as a Sec
ond breakfast or first luncheon al
eleven o'clock.

The Very Rev. w. r. Inge, Englands famous
gloomy dean" remarks that what Americans spend
on luxuries in two years would pay off the British
war debt. He estimates that Americans spend ten
and q half billions on amusement annually.
Undoubtedly. the dean means that this is all very
deplorable; but for the life or us we can't see why.
Granted that a deal Of money is spent on very fool
ish, inane amusements: granted that we spend a lot
Of money for amusements when we might better be
putting it in the bank; even so, that huge expendi-
ture for recreation is. to our way OF looking at things,
a good sign.
At the very worst, 1t means that an enormous
number Of Americans are able to spend time and
money on recreation. They are able to forget about
the care Of the workaday world every so often. even
If they don't always make their expenditures wisely.
II we are leaving drudgery and monotony behind us
it IS a good thing. no matter how foolishly we act
when we look for amusement.

The Job Of reconditioning the old frigate Constitu-
ton Is almost complete. Photographs showing the
ships hull as0at, with the lower masts all stepped.
have been printed in the newspapers; before long she
viii be ready to 60 to sea. and that triumphal tour
Of inland and coastal waters viii probably get under
way.
The Constitution will be worth looking at. No
American naval vessel holds anything like her place
IN public esteem. But her tour will bring some Of US,
at least. up against a peculiar little problem In COM
parative values.
During the last few years most people have made
a genuine effort to get away from the old attitude
toward war. Dozens Of books have been printed to
prove that war Is not glamorous and romantic, as
we used to suppose, but filthy and cruel and senseless.
We have told ourselves that only by adopting this
attitude can we ensure the continuance Of world
peace.
But here we haye the onstitution-glamoro and
romantic, II any ship ever was. The mere sight OF
this old square-rigger, with her white gun ports. her
distended sails and her long, graceful hull cutting
through the blue water is enough TO stir warlike
emotions in the heart Of the most confirmed war
hater on earth.
Furthermore, the Constitution has a past that is
worth remembering. The men who sailed on her,
upwards OF a century ago, did some fine and gallant
things. The ship was not unimportant in the devel-
opment Of this country. She deserves the homage
we give her.
What is the answer then7 On the one hand we
have this newborn determination not 70 wrap her IN
a false glamour: on the other, we have wars CLAM
our incarnate. The Constitutions cruise will bring
the old attitude and the new face to face. Which
way shall we jump?
Probably the answer is that We don't need TO jump
either way. The conditions that attended the build
ing Of the Constitution. for one thing. are gone for
ever. World civilization has changed. Actions that
were necessary then are not SO necessary now.
In addition. we might remind ourselves that the
C1~e+st..fg1a fe rnt a modern WqrShiY She may he
romantic and pictursque-but wars aren't fought
that way now. The modern sailor. instead Of stand
ing by the breech OF a coronado and cheering as
the enemy comes alongside, Is more apt to be
crouched in the bowels Of a submarine, working at
q mechanics trade to deal out death to a ship that
he can never see. Whatever war may have been
in 1872, It is something else again in 1880.
we can honor the Constitution as a relic. but that
does not commit US to the belief that war is either
as necessary or as colorful now as It used to be.

Why the Hunt Might Lag

Al Capone. at his quiet retreat in Florida, IS quoted
as remarking tersely that the Chicago police know
perfectly well. and have known all along. who killed
the reporter. Jake Lingle.
Mr.. Capone ought TO know. If anyone does; but
whether his remark is correct or not. it Is highly sig
ni-ficant-pointing, as 1t does. to the fact that there
are SO many things in the background Of this Lingle
murder that practically no one in Chicago wants to
see dragged out into the open.
1t may prove simple enough to convict the man
who fired the shot into Lingle's brain; but TO tell the
whole story Of this murder IL will be necessary to
wash a great deal Of extremely dirty linen in public.
Some OF this linen is owned by Chicagoans OF con-
siderable prominence. If. now and then, Chicago
seems to be Just a trifle lackadaiscal about catching
Lingle's murderer. there may be a reason for it.

France Raises Field
Marshal Pay $500

PARIS. July 26-(P-Joffre. Fran
chet d'Esperey. Petain. Lyautey,
Marshals Of France and listed among
the greatest leaders OF the world
war, have had their pay raised.
AS part OF the new army pay
schedule they will now draw the
yearly remuneration Of 10000
francs. about $500.
While this may seem modest. as
compared with General Pershing's
$4,000 a year, the rate for the
lower ranks is even more striking.
For instance a general command
ing a division will receive $4,133
while a brigade commander viii get
$3.50.
Among the o>-apany officers the
new scale runs fNsa $685. a year
for a second lieutenant TO $1,225 for
a captain. Majors will get sl.526,

Railroad Whistles

Railroad men believe that they will eventually be
able to devise a railroad whistle which will shoot its
shaft Of noise directly TO the railroad crossing instead
Of scattering It al over the countryside; and while
this would be highly efficient. and while any step to
diminish the daily amount Of noise in this noise
ridden civilization OF ours ought to be welcomed. we're
not sure that we're entirely in favor Of this plan.
The railroad whistle is in d class by itself. 1t is
one OF the most romantic sounds one ever hears.
To lie in bed. late at night. and hear some distant
flier whistling for a crossing, is to experience the
feeling that one has heard the eerie horns Of elfland
blowing beyond the horizon. The note Is haunting
beyond words, with an insistent melancholy that de-
flies description. We should be sorry to be deprived
Of it.

high hill, covering some 90 acres Of ground and tow
ering above the tops of the office buildings.
This mountain, or hill, was very much In seattle's
way. 1t doomed up on the edge or the business dis
trict and choked off the expansion that Seattle need
ed. SO. a year ago. Seattle decided to get 1t out Of the
way. Steam shovels. long conveyor belts and a fleet
Of scows were put to work, and Denny Hill began to
crumble.
BY next fall this particular mountain win be no
more. Reduced to mud and stones. It will be dis
tributed all over the bottom OF Puget Sound. In It's
place viii be a 90-acre tract Of perfectly level ground,
ready for new stores, office buildings, railway stations,
hotels and apartment houses.
There isn't anything so very out Of the way In this
performance. Seattle doesn't seem greatly excited
about It. and the job has not drawn much attention
elsewhere. But there Is something about 1t that
strikes US as extremely romantic and highly signifi-
cant.
Moving a mountain just part OF the days
work, to an American city; Just as Chicago found II
all part Of the days work TO make a river run uphill.
The supposedly immutahle forces OF nature. then. are
not immutable at all. The world is not IN the least
fixed and Interchangeable. Inanimate natures long pc
Rod Of overlordship has ended.
That Is the sort Of thing which this Seattle per-
Torrance symbolizes.
Americans have been criticized frequently for being
too obsessed with material values, with taking more
delight In accomplishments In the world or material
things than In the intangibles Of creative art. Well,
why not? Isn't there something tremendously import
ant in this conquest OF nature? Isn't II rather mo-
mentous that men have discovered that the physical
world can be remade?
Seattle's removal Of a mountain IS the sort OF thing.
really. that calls for poems OF praise and ~iubilation.
II is a thing TO exult In. We are MISUNDERSTANDING
we are triumphing over materialism.

Moving the Mountain

When Paul the apostle was casting about in his
mind for a feat that could stand as a symbol OF the
impossible, he hit upon the moving Of a mountain
The faith that could move a m~ountain-that TO Paul,
was the strongest expression possible.
Were Paul alive today, however, he would have TO
look for a new symbol. Not that our faith has pro-
crossed; hardly that, in an age OF skeptics. But we
can move mountains, at any rate.
In Seattle there has been a mountain called Denny
Hill. To be sure. one has TO stretch things a trifle to
call it a mountain. But at any rate, It was a very
