HIS YORK HIS MONUMENT

Another of Americas little known
and unsung heroes, has passed to his re-
ward with the death of DR.. Harvey w.
Wiley
Mention his name to the average AM
erican and he will admit that he never
heard of Wiley. Like the late Major
General DR.. William, Henry Gorgas, who
cleaned up the Panama canal zone, he
labored for the benefit of mankind with
out ostentation or the plaudits of the
multitude. Unlike Gorgas, whose worth
was always recognized if not applauded,
DIR. Wiley did not have even the whole
hearted support Of the government he
served
In 1883, as chief chemist for the de-
partment of agriculture, he began a sim
gle-handed fight against adulterated
food and drugs. Year after year he
labored to get government action to pro-
tect the health of the public. Not until
congress passed the pure food and drugs
act, under which all foodstuffs and drugs
are now sold.
The housewife who buys can of sar-
dimes, jar of pickles, bottle of catsup,
box of cookies or hundreds of other
varieties of foodstuffs, at the store, does
so with confidence, knowing that the gov
ernment has seen to it that what she
buys is pure and wholesome, not contain
mated by injurious substances, and pro-
duced in clean surroundings.
Our modern methods of living have
placed the American people at the mer-
cy of the can opener and the glass jar
Each day millions of commodities packed
in cans, bottles and jars, find their way
to the American table. Each of these is
a tribute to DR.. Wiley and his work.
His reward was a recommendation by
a special board in 1912 that he be per
mitted to resign" The secretary of agri-
culture and the attorney general approx
ed the recommendation but President
Taft upheld DR.. Wiley and approved his
work. Vindicated, he resigned and de-
voted the remainder Of his life to a con-
tinuance of work in behalf of public
health.
Packed under the pure food and
drugs act Of June 80, 1906" is the Amer
lean housewives protection and Dr.
Wiley's monument.

Lots of Laughs
In Oakie Film

After seeing "The Social Lion,
il is easy to understand why Time,

SAYS mighty nice things about jack

pure and simple, but it is highly
entertaining and amusing. "Skeets =
Gallagher is again teamed up with
Oakie and the wisecracks of the pair
are the sort that produce real laughs.
Jack is a prize fighter is Il riot,
and he has 4 boxing style all his
own that would bewilder many q
professional pugilist. As polo
player he probably could give Eric
Pedley pointers.
Mary Brian and Olive Borden
have the leading feminine roles.
comparatively minor parts, but
necessary to the plot. Oakie and
Gallagher are the real attractions,
and their antics are enough to please
any audience.
The Max Sehmeling-Jack SharkeF
pictures are being shown by Mana-

foul blow is easily seen and the pie
lures are unusually clear. Each
round is shown Closeup, and the
commotion after the fatal blow had

to name the states and We're given Is
minutes in which to do it.
Only Is of the so could name the AZ
states. Eight others could name Al; five
named less than 40; the lowest was 33
and the average "A states.
All of us perhaps knew the states when
mar school and have since forgotten
them.
What good does it do to know them?
Well, it doesn't matter a great deal in
the course of life whether they are known
or not, but one does like to know the
members of his own family the residents
of his own neighborhod and those with
whom he works.
The United States is our country, not
California, Iowa or Texas. Delaware,
West Virginia, Nebraska, and Vermont
are as much part of the United States
as California or New York.
1t should be a matter of pride among
Americans that they know their own
country, for it is certainly a country
worth knowing. Each of the states has
its own particular attractions of histor-
ical interest, industries and products
A study of them is most interesting
What seemed absolute boredome to the
schoolboy, will be found highly enjoyable
to the adult mind.
Try it out and see if you can name
them- If you can't, get geography or
a history and learn them-then go step
further and study about them. You will,
perhaps,s be greatly surprised at your ig-
norance of the nation you call your home

STILL IN THE "WHITE"

The pessmist among US is once more
invited to look at the business map of
the United States for May, reproduced
in last nights Press.
He will find that Imperial Valley is
one Of the very few places in the nation
where business conditions are reported to
be good. A small section around San
Francisco, another at Yuma, the oil
area in the Texas 'Panhandle'' and an
other in the southern corner, and five
other small spots in the midwest, consti-
tute the good" area.
Month after month Imperial Valley
has been shown ''in white, indicating
good conditions.
The beneficial effect of this map is as
founding. 1t is read and consulted by
business leaders in all parts of the coun-
try, and the best brains in American
commerce and industry have their eyes
on Imperial Valley. Success attracts
success, and these men cannot help but
investigate place where attractive op-
portunities are offered for investment.
With Boulder dam no longer dream
but reality, more attention than ever
is to be centered on Imperial Valley.
