Love-" he said, "has three notes

purely physical attraction through ap-

In speaking of the work the Red

Grafton of Women's clubs, said yes

In Imperial Valley we are prone
to complain of the trouble we have
with transients and bemoan the
fact that all charitable funds can
not be expended in caring for our
own residents. We forget that all
Imperial Valley people do not re-
main at home but wander to other
parts of the country where they
become transientS in communities
where they are stranded. They are
a problem there just as we have
our transient problem here.

VALLEY BEE MEN
COOPERATE WITH
HONEY PROGRAM

This week has been selected as
national honey week by the Nation
al Honey Institute of indianapolis
and local producers are cooperating
by pointing out the value of honey
as an article of diet and its use in
cooking.
Health authorities have endorsed
honey from the nutrition stand
point and home economic experts
have further endorsed its qualities
as flavoring for cakes, pies, cook
les, candies.
At the last county fair the honey
exhibit attracted much attention
and local producers are planning a
much larger display this year. They
have met with j. A. Sinclair of the
agricultural commissioners office
and with him made plans to create
a further interest in honey.
They have arranged special pre-
miums for the high school cooking
classes making the best displays
using honey as an ingredient, and
premiums will also be awarded in
dividuals. These awards are addi-
tional ones and entirely separate
from those offered by the fair as
sociation.
Recipes will be featured at the fair
as well and this week in connection
with honey week, most of the valley
stores are offering special values in
honey.
On Friday, November 13, at $50
a. m. over a national hook-up, a
honey broadcast will be given at
which time the house wife will be
given many valuable recipes for the
use of honey in cooking.

TESTIMONY OF
DEAD YOUTH IS
READ in COURT

LOS ANGELES, Nov. II. U.H-
The word of a dead 1e-year- old
boy was in the evidence today
against Alexander Pantages, ac-
cused of attacking Eunice Pringle,
dancer. as court adjourned over the
holiday.
Testimony given at Pantages'
first trial on the charge of Louis

ulation of attorneys.
Fisher had related how he saw
the door of the little conference
room in Pantages office suite fly
open and Miss Pringle attempt to
flee while the theatrical magnate
held her by the wrist.
Late in the day, the jury was TAX
en- to the scene of the alleged at
tack, and spent more than an hour
measuring distances between vari-
Gus places in the building which
were described by witnesses during
the trial.
By stipulation, the jury did not
enter the conference room from
which the dancer ran screaming.

Quote Me-
BY UNITED PRESS

WASHINGTON. Nov. IL. U.P)-
A congressman from corn state
who prefers the cereal of his ma
tive heath in liquid form, has
wife who insists that he remain as
dry as he votes. Consequently this
statesman, who must remain un-
identified, finds the intricacies of
politics child play compared with
the devices he must contrive to in
sure his daily snifter.
Once, so the story goes, Congress-
man Corntassel was hard put to
it to find enough liquid fire to fill
glasses for himself and a friend.
His wife had gone on a still hunt
and mopped up even more thorough
ly than usual.
Finally when he was about to re-
sign himself to enforce aridity, he
found a flask, undisturbed, where
he had hidden it-in the bedroom
under his wife's pillow.
Which recalls the case Of Uncle
Joe Cannon, once dictator of the
House. Cannon, who never went
anywhere without his little flask,
was attending a republican banquet
in a small Michigan town. This
town and its county had been dry
by local option for years, and there
were those of the younger genera
ton who knew liquor only by name.
Uncle Joe poured out portion in
a glass of water. Before he could
lift it to his lips, however. a sweet
young society girl acting as waitress,
who didn't know Bourbon from cold
tea, snatched it up and gave him a
fresh glass. He tried again, with
the same result. And again. Each
time a different volunteer waitress
gave him clean" water. Uncle
Joe never did set his little nip.
Tourists in the national capital
are often entranced by the novel

spot near the capitol, they see at
night a beautiful roseate glow be-
hind the Greek temple dedicated to

curl fantastically above it.

lie buildings and public parks Of

band and had a baby which she
was unable to care for while trying
to obtain work among strangers.
1.-THE Red Cross chapter in the
southern community contacted the
local chapter and the local secretary
found the girls mother and obtain
ed the name and something of the
history of the husband. 1t was dis
covered that the man was an ex-
service man and recently had re-
ceiyed treatment in veterans hos
pital on the Pacific coast. The man
was drawing government compensa-
ton. An award was obtained for
the wife and child and with the
first payment, the girl came home
to her mother. She obtained en-
ployment here and the daughter
works while her mother cares for
the baby during working hours.
Without the efficient contact
ing system of the Red Cross, one
of our own girls undoubtedly would
have suffered greatly while among
strangers and probably been un-
able to help herself reach a place
of security and independence.
THE girl and her baby do not
need charity now. They are self
respecting, good citizens. With the
help of the government compensa-
ton. the girl is able to support her
mother and her son. The mother
by caring for the baby, knows that
she is earning her way in the world
and is not subjected to the humilia-
ton of being dependent in her old
age.
1T seems to me TO have been an
ideal way to manage what at first
glance appeared to be a difficult
case. Not only were three persons
removed from the need of charity
and placed firmly upon their own
resources but were made happy and
contented as well. In this way

helped by the funds provided by To-
cal residents in enrolling in the
Red Cross. There are many such
instances where the Red Cross has
played a similar part in helping
people to peace and security
