A FINE SPECTACLE
W. C. COSTELLO
Manager

FL Centre may we'll be proud of its
Flag day observance and particularly SO
of the exercises conducted last night in
the city park
The Elks lodge, which sponsored the
program, is to be congratulated for pro-
viding the city with the means of pay
ing beautiful tribute to the national
colors. Those from other organizations,
who joined the Elks in their ceremony,
are also to be congratulated, for they
helped to make it the success that it was.
Particularly impressive was the pre-
sentation of certificates Of citizenship to
a group of men and women, who last
week were aliens and today are citizens
of the United States Of America, and
mighty proud of it.
1t was an auspiciouS occasion for this
ceremony which was doubly effective.
Those who received their certificates will
never forget the circumstances under
which they were presented. And those
who witnessed the ceremony could not
help but realize its significance and be
proud of the fact that they too are cit
liens of the United States, either by birth
or naturalization.
The parade through the business sec
ton. which preceded the program at the
park, was no small part of the evenings
success.
An incident connected with the parade
is worth revealing to Press readers. 1t
was commented upon by several OF the
marchers. Enroute to the park there
were some spectators who did not re-
move their hats as the colors passed
them. AS the parade passed through
Broadway, between Fourth and Filth
streets. japanese formed a heavy per
centage of spectators. 1t was noted that
only a few of those who had hats, kept
them on. Not only as the colors passed,
but while the entire parade passed, Jap
anese hats were clutched IN the hand and
the men of Nippon gave homage, either
from the custom of their native land or
in sincere tribute to the land in which
they live.
And yet these men are ineligible 1or
citizenship. There is some compensa-
ton for them in the knowledge that they
can be fathers of American citizens and
Judging from last nights exhibition we
believe that they too could be good clti-
Zens.
Two burglars held up Hawthorne
theatre directly across the street from
the police station. And that's probably
the safest place to stage crime.

NO, thank youw mewed the cat.

"But you were just washing your

HURRAH FOR HOOVER!

One thing Mr.. Hoover said last night
in his speech to the editors of Indiana,
had no reference to affairs of state, to
means for overcoming depression, nor to
any Of our veXatious problems. Yet to
Us it has a deep significance and it un-
doubtedly made every man present the
friend of the President, even though he
might not agree with him politically or in
other matters.
The President was talking indoors to
an audience of 5000 persons on partic-
ularly sultry night Knowing the dis
comfort under which his audience was
certain to labor, Mr.. Hoover asked the
POSTMASTER to invite the men to take off
their coast so that they would be more
comfortable. The men did and cheered
the President for his thoughtfulness and
a splendid exhibition of mans humani-
ty to man..
With the President having started this
thing it is to be hoped that it will spread
throughout the nation. There is nothing
more ridiculous than the custom of COM
pelling men to wear their coats during
the summer months. None can say how
many arguments have been started,
homes wrecked, property damaged and
the Lord only knows what else, simply
because some man was put IHlO d IdIlI-
rum by having to don 'armOr" when his
common sense revolted against it.
1t is fatuous bit of snobbery, this bus
mess of coat wearing. We can appreci-
ate the fact that for certain circumstance
es a coat is desirable, but the old saying
that it isn't the coat that makes the man,
should be given greater consideration.
Thank heaven that here in Imperial
Valley we are sensible about the thing.
We may be foolish about many things but
we are least sane on this one.
Should there come time when fashion
gets the upper hand and DEGREES that we
must wear coats, collars and ties dur
ing the summer months, we hope there
vii arise some Moses to lead his people
from this land and let it return to the
desert it was formerly.

BY ALICE " HTS HOSTETLER.

"O the great romances of the world
II belongs the love story of Mary Gusts
and Robert Edward Lee, whose we'd
ding was solemnized 100 years ago at
Arlington House. the magnificent
mansion which overooks the Potomac and the
Capital from the hills of Virginia.
Probably painting ever possessed greater
contrasts of light and shadow than did these
two lives whose marriage marked the union OF
Vrginia's most distinguished families whose
fame is inseparable with that of the most
tragic war in Americas history; whose devotion
endured separation and loss of home-a home
doubly precious because of it's association with
the past and because it had been their own for
more than a quarter of century.
However it is not with affairs of state that
the centenary of a wedding anniversary is
concerned but with the girl and boy who were
playmates in childhood; with the young lady
in bell-like skirt who admired young cadet
home from West Point on furlough; with the
bridegroom who said of the wedding ceremony
that he felt as bold a sheep" and that
''there a tremulousness in the hand L held
that made me anxious for him the minister)
TO end
Then there Is the man who 30 years later
worn and harassed, narrowed and distressed
by the Suderings of his men during the grueling
sieges in Virginia, wrote to his Mary reminding
her of their wedding day and who went TO
her after the poignant scene at Appomattox in
the new home she had made for him.
THAT June night 100 years ago the drive
ways of Arlington House were packed with
carriages and through the huge windows made
golden by the light of countless candles could
be seen the gayly dressed wedding guests.
Beauty, fame. gallantry and wit were repre-
scented by members of families well known in
national history. The Splendor of their attire
Is seen only in revueS today, for it the time
when mems apparel was not somber, but rivaled
that of the ladies in color and fastdious
fashion. Above the hum of voices could be
