Bridge Destroyed
Near Calipatria

Fire partly destroyed the bridge
over the Alamo river two miles
southwest of Calipatria late Friday
afternoon and resulted in highway
traffic being routed over a detour
which added two miles to the dis
tance between Canpatria and Braw:-
ley.
The Calipatria fire department
extinguished the flames before the
floor of the bridge was destroyed
The fire is believed to have started
when a passerby tossed a cigaret
into dry weeds beside the structure.
Crews were at work today repair
ing the damage under the direction
of Henry Jackson, county super
visor, and A. D. Hanfan, district
road superintendent. 1t was ex-
pected the bridge would be in use
late today or tomorrow.
Reports that the fire was incen-
diary in origin were declared to be
without foundation.

Victories for Decentralization

There have two significant victories recently in
the struggle to denlobilize our colleges and make
military training elective. Attorney General Mitchell
ruled last year that military training is not legally
compulsory, even in Immigrant colleges
Cornell and Ohio State universities, two of the
largest land grant colleges just have voted to make
military training elective The vote Of Cornell was
overwhelming against compulsory military training,
but at Ohio State the vote was close. being 1919
Ohio State had the largest R. o. T. c. unit in
the country 1t contained 1880 men in compulsory
courses cost 100000 each year and occupied the time
of ffty-two instructors. There were 1850 men in
compulsory courses at Cornell, being instructed by
forty-two men at a cost of $4,000 yearly.
In the last five years, no fewer than twenty five
important educational institutions either have elm
mated compulsory military training or have done
away with all military training.
There is no need Of being fanatcal even in good
cause. Probably there is no great evil in having
facilities for elective study of military science in any
great university, long the war system with u.s.
But the military academy is the only place where
such instruction should be made compulsory

Probing Utilities

The decision of the public service com
mission to inquire into the financial habits
of the group of telephone companies just
sold by former Governor Goodrich for
several millions will be applauded.
True, the inquisitive may wonder why
the inquiry was not ordered until after this
very powerful figure in the state had dis
posed of these properties.
But what is important is that the things
which are alleged against this company are
quite as true of every other group of utilities
operated under that new device to escape
regulation, the holding company.
If there is to be an inquiry, why not make
it real one and extend it to the gigantic
concerns which serve hundreds of thousands
Of people.
The comparison between electric charges
in our large cities and those of Tacoma, for
instance, should arouse curiosity.
What has this holding company done
that most Of the others have not?

Young Lamont

He might spend his life cruising the seven seas in
a yacht his summers in Switzerland his winters
on the Riviera, and all that sort of thing. Or if
he didn't like that kind Of navigation, he could cruise
the $4,000 speakeases and night clubs that his home
city affords.
He could devote his days to polo if he chose. Or
to golf or horse-racing or roulette, or any of the
other occupations that so many rich mems sons go
in for.
Instead we find him hard at work as an instruc-
tor in a university.
And this is what he says about the system which
would have made it possible for him to have been
a playboy.
Whatever its good points, it permits and en-
courages the exploitation Of the many by the few
in the of a cruel and unntelligent God called
rugged intiudualism and worshipped fanatcally by
Republicans and Democrats alike.
This system concentrates two-thirds of the wealth
and one-third of the income in the hands of ap-
proximately 10 per cent of the people and provides
for the other 30 per cent chiefly on the marvellous
theory that enough somehow will trickle down from
the top.

Diet May Cause Baby's Skin Infection

it seems advisable to tie the wrists
and ankles loosely to the sides of the
crib with tapes or to use cardboard
tubes over the elbows or similar de-
vices which will prevent the child
from scratching.
An ingenious father of one baby
fastened two rods about two feet
apart on the head and foot of the
crib and tied to these tapes which
controlled the child'S hands and feet
in such way that the tapes would
slide back and forth, allowing the
child to move its hands and arms,
but not permitting it to get at it's
face and body.
Some babies learn to rub with
the legs and feet, and it is neces-
Sary in such cases to put a splint be-
tween the knees to prevent rubbing.
Parents sometimes are disturbed
in restraining of the infants. Ac-
tually, however, this is not cruel, but
exceedingly kind, since it aids the
condition greatly. Moreover, after a
short time, the baby probably gets

Don't Write

NOR years I have been writing
! about the fact that the stage
dealt with too many things of minor
interest. 1t has been my contention
that dramatic criticism, far from
being written too rapidly, is written
too slowly.
I'd like to see the same emotion
which surrounds a baseball game
or a football game come into the
theater. Indeed, a running story
flashed over the telegraph wire
during a performance would not be
a bad idea.
In that case the critic could not
say after the curtain fell on a
mystery play that he knew all along
just who committed the murder. He
would have to make his prediction,
if any, before the solution was
evident.
I know that Precedent" is a good
play, because all my scouts have
brought in reports to that effect.
And there were nights when I might
have gone, but once there was a
bridge game and on another occa-
sion a musical comedy.
I gladly will join in with a thou
sand others to seek dissolution by
seeing the play before it is too late.
AS you know, precedent" deals with
the Mooney and Billings case and
acquires its intense dramatic quality
by sticking literally to the facts.

They specify the following federal public works which
could be undertaken at once, if congress could be

the necessary expenditures:
a. Highways: $4,000 miles of federal aid high

Cause of Cyclones

TINE entire worldwide circula-
4 ton of the atmosphere is not
yet understood. Data slowly is be-
ing accumulated, however, to show
certain kinds of weather in one
part of the globe are followed by
certain types in other parts.
The earth's rotation has A ire
mendous effect upon winds, and
therefore upon the weather. Be-
cause of the earth's rotation, winds
In the northern hemisphere always
tend to turn to the right.
A wind which begins in the north
and is headed directly south, will,
after bit, turn into a northeast
wind. A west wind in the same way
will turn into a northwest wind.
Similarly, in the southern hen1is-
phere, the tendency is for all winds
to turn to the left.
This tendency Of the air to turn
to the right or left is the cause of
cyclones. Thus in the northern
hemisphere, air will begin to flow
from all directions into low pres
sure area.
But because OF the tendency OF
the winds to swing to the right,
the great mass of air flowing into
a low-pressure area soon is in rota-
ton around the center of the low
pressure area.
This great whirling motion of the
air constitutes a cyclone. In the
northern hemisphere, the motion
of the cyclone always is contrary
to that Of the hands of the clock.
In the southern hemisphere, it ale
ways is clockwise.

Ono Sfen Forward

Action of the trustees of De Paw university in
blanket Endorsement of the president DR.. G. Bronl-

It is declaration of scholastic freedom that
challenges all the forces of suppression, all the forces
of reaction.
That resolution stands for liberalism In education
which led people away from superstition into civ
ilization It is a new defiance of witch burning.
DR.. Oman has been the target of these forces
since the day he came to the Indiana college and
captured the imagination Of students and Of citizens
generally by his brilliant thought and his forward
looking attitude upon life
Sacrificing nothing of religious tradition, he made
it possible for students to think for themselves and
indeed believed that the real purpose of all educa
ton is to teach students to think
Every attack has been based upon misconstruc
ton and misnterpretation of his public addresses
Were there lacking motives of self interest and self
seeking on the part of his critics. the attacks might
almost be said to be due to the lack of this
which he encouraged. They might almost seem to
come from the parrot minded. and parrots who had
been under the tuteage of rather ignorant forces.
The trustees can hardly be called radicals in any
group of society. Headed by former high official
of the Republican party in its most conservative era
they stand unanimously for that liberty without
which there be no progress either in education
or in government
Those who are sometimes fearful of the future
may take new hope from this complete Endorsement

enlisting the interest of an audi

in watching Phil Baker work in

Phil Bakers work is fascinating
because of his complete surety in

Tamara, on the contrary, is a
comparative newcomer in the thea

Time to Atone
THE inertia of Americans s

THE inertia Of Americans goes
l. beyond this drama into the
great injustice itself. For the most
part we are not mean people or
merciless.
But we have an extraordinary
capacity for forgetting. AS mat
ter of fact, that is one of the func-
tons which jails fulfill. When some
one is committed, rightly or wrong
ly, he goes into the long silences
which do not asSail our ears.
We may for a moment get to-
gether in protest. But once the de-
cision has been rendered, we are in
clined to say TOO bad" and go
about some other phase Of the COM
plicated life which engulfs us.
This can not be excused as uni
versal human frailty. In other
lands memories stretch a little long
er. France was able to fight through
to eventual justice in the Dreyfus
case, even efter that tragedy had
lived through its day on the first
page.
In the case Of Sacco and Van
zetti, people living thousands Of
miles away in South America, in
France and in Germany were far
more stirred than the citizens Of
New York or even those Of Boston
itself. We Hre not much alive to
