lihood, he was recently barred from anna
teur competition by the association. The
latter further informed him that if he
wished to continue competing in amateur
golf, he must give up his position There
is very good answer to such high
handed bit of dictation, which would have
consigned the association to a place
where golf balls would melt very rapid
ly, but Dawson apparently is too much
the gentleman to make it.
A bond house has offered him three
times the salary he is now receiving from
his present employers, and admits it
would consider him worth the salary be-
cause of his attraction as golfer. He
has refused to accept the position, al
though in so doing, he would be well
coined as an amateur" golfer by the as
sociation, though he would be getting
paid for his golfing ability.
Friends of the golfer, aroused by the
arbitrary stand of the association, claim
ed to have unearthed evidence relative
to its dealings with other amateur"
golfers, which would not look we'll in
print. Dawson promptly squelched a
plan to give this evidence publicity, de-
clarlng that he would remain in his pres
ent occupation even if he: never COM
peted in another amateur contest.
1t certainly appears as though the
sportmanship is all on Dawson's side,
and that the association has few skele-
tons rafting around in the closet.

Nv THE "WHITE"

Federal Farm Land Banks may write
dlscouraging letters; the pessimists may
SIT on the side-lines and howl their heads
OFT about hard times but the valley re-
mains in the white" on the business map
OF the United States.
"A perusal of the map printed in yes-
terdays issue of the Press, shows that
only few places can boast of the white"
shade, indicating good business condi-
tlons. The Monterey section is the only
white" spot in California. That section
OF Arizona adjoining Imperial Valley, is
likewise in the white
Three small areas in Texas, one in Ok
lahoma, one on the Arkansas-Louisiana
border, two in Florida and four among
the Middle Atlantic and New England
states, complete the list.
The greater portion of the country is
shown in gray indicating fair conditions.
The black spots, denoting poor business
conditions, are small and we'll scattered.
1t is safe to say that the valley has
been in the "white';, longer and more con-
sistently than any other section of the
country. It'was out for one or two issues
in the last few years, and was Immediate
ly replaced when the attention of the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States, which issues the map, was direct
ed to real conditions here
Compared to other sections of the
country and state, Imperial Valley is re-
markably we'll off There has been no
perceptible slowing up in activities here
such as the rest of the country expert
enced following the stock market slump
of the winter. Business has remained in
good shape, and there is every indica-
tion that it will continue to do so until
the normal summer quiet sets in.
The map is issued throughout the coun-
try, and it is going to be good publicity
for Imperial Valley. Business men are
going to have their attention called to the
valley because the white" area sticks out
SO prominently that it cannot be missed.
The fact that national recognition is
given the good condition of the valley,
should be source of encouragement to
every resident and business man here.

Globe Girdler To
Seek New Record

Los ANGELES, April 25.-U.H
John Henry Mears, VINO set n
speed record around the world in
1928, was due here today to accept
delivery of his new Lockheed air
plane in which he hopes to lower
the globe-circling mark established
b. the Graf Zeppelin.
The famous aviator expects to
launch his newest flight attempt
in June, starting from New. York
City and heading out across the At
lantic from point in Newfound-
land.
He will attempt to cross the At
lantic in daylight, landing in Eng
land From there Mears plans to
fly over Europe, Russia and ST.
IBERIA, across the Pacific to Alaska
and thence back to New York.
In 1929 the Graf Zeppelin lower

MORE "AMATEURISM"

Every once in while so-called organ
lied amateur athletics give the rest of us
opportunity for good laugh at the ridi-
culous attitude it assumes on questions
of alleged professionalism among it's
members, the latest laugh provider being
the United States Golf Association, IN
connection with the Dawson case.
Johnny Dawson is among the leaders
in amateur golf in this country. 1t so
happens that he works for we'll known
sporting goods house, and worked for 1t
before he became a golfer. AS matter
of fact he became golfer because the
merchandise which he was handling in
duced him to take an interest in the sport,
and liking it, he developed into a good
player.
He denies that he is paid by his firm
for being a golfer, and there is no evil
dence, as yet, to disprove the statement.

NOTHING ALARMING

Few Americans will become excited
over the fact that group of their young
er countrymen, were jeered and insulted
by crowd of students in Mexico City.
The Americans, members of a Univer-
sity of Oklahoma journalism class, visit
ing the National Preparatory School,
were greeted with insulting cries and re-
marks during exercises intended as well
come for them. AS result of the Incl
dent, Is of the students were expelled
from school.
1t is needless to say that the actions OF
the students do not reflect the true spirit
of Mexicans toward the United States.
Even were there grounds for ill-feelng,
the Mexican people are too polite and
hospitable to permit any discourtesles to
be inflicted on guests.
The offenders in this incident can be
classed with similar elements which ex-
ist in all communities, and who have no
regard for the social niceties or treat
ment due a guest. Prompt action by the
authorities in expelling them from school,
indicates the official attitude toward the
matter.
1t is to the credit of the young Ameri-
cans that they made no move toward re-
taliation, preferring to ignore the eXhloi.
