High Ideals Sought in
Principles Of Bahaism

The religious sect known as
Bahaism originated in Persia in
1914. The first prophet was Ali
Mohammed, or the Bah. Hosein
Ali was the first adherent of the
Bah and later announced himself
as the one Bah foretold. He be-
came known as Baha'u'llah. He
died in 1892, and before his depar-
ture named his oldest son, Abdul
Bahia Abbas, interpreter of his text
and the center of his covenant.
He passed away November %, 1921,
ard in his will designated his
grandson, Shoghi Effendi, guardian
of the cause. The general princi-
pies of the Bahais founded upon
the teachings of Baha'u'llah are:
The oneness of mankind; the indie
pendent investigation of truth the
foundation of all religions is one;
religion must be the cause of
unity; religion must be in accord
with science and reason; equality
between man and woman; preju-
dice of all kinds must be forgot
ten universal peace; universal ed
ucation; solution of the economic
problem; a universal language; an
international tribunal. The Bahais
believe in the essential necessity of
the intermediation of the Messianic
principle, or the holy spirit, in the
life of humanity.

Stevenson's Tribute to
Civil Autograph Hunter

In Word Shadows of the Great"
Thomas F. Madigan tells of a lucky
man who received this charming
letter from Robert Louis Steven
son. then living in Samoa, to whom
he had written, asking for his au
tOgraph:
For the one civil autograph col
lector, Charles R.:
you have sent me a slip to
write on; you have sent me an adj
dressed envelope; you have sent it
to me stamped; many have done
as much as that. You have spelled
my name right; and some have
done that. In one point you stand
alone; you have sent me the
stamps for my own post office, not
the stamps for yours. What is
asked for with so much considera-
ton l take pleasure to grant.
Here, since you value it, and have
been at such pains to earn it by
unusual attentiOns-here is the
signature. ROBERT LOUIS STEV-
ENSON."

Early Card Games

Cards for playing games of
chance are of the most remote an
tiquity and have almost universal
usage. There is evidence that they
were in use in Egypt at the time
of Joseph; that their use extended
as far east as Hindustan and
China at a period long before their
introduction into Europe is well
attested. The design and number
of cards in a pack varied. Even
the names of most of the old games
are found only in antiquarian
works. Chief among them is one
called "primiero." This long con-
tinued a fashionable game. Other
early games were: Mauve, piquet,
loadan, noddy, macle, oupre, gleek,
post and pan, and bank rout.

Monarch's Penance

The dignitary who was made to
perform a penance of standing in
the snCw while petitioning for alb
solution and reinstatement, during
three days, was King Henry ", en-
peror of Germany, who had been
communicated in 1915 by Pope
Gregory VII and who evidenced his
submission in this manner. How

son, Henry V, was excommuni-
Gated and reconciled not less than

Carboraiei Wa.ers

Artiicially aerated waters had
their inception in priestley'5 sue
cess in 1772 in producing aerated
mineral spring water. Large scale
manufacture of aerated water was
commenced by Paul at Geneva in
1880 and shortly after by
Schweppe in London. In the Unit
ed States, Priestey's experiments
interested a Philadelphia physi-
clan, DR.. Philip Syng Physick, anG

RIDING ACADEMY

When the Barbara Worth riding
academy was established in FL Gen.
tro this fall, q much needed and
greatly appreciated entertainment
was added to the advantages OF the
city.
AS a consequence of the introdUc-
ton of horseback riding in this vi
cinity, the number of persons who
enjoy this healthful outdoor sport
has increased rapidly.
A string OF beautiful saddle
horses maintained by c. E. Pitzer
and his equipment receive peans Of
pranse from valley visitors as well
rs from local residents.
Instruction in riding is in charge
of Dave WillOughby. riding master.
and many are availing themselves
of the opportunity to learn the art
Of riding correctly.
Moonlight riding parties to nearby
places of interest which terminate
in .utdoor dinners are among the
enjoyments arranged frequently by
academy officials. Breakfasts and
dinners at the Barbara Worth ho-
lei also are enjoyed at the conclu-

Poultry production is we'll re-

to chickens by the acre. In the
Holtville district some l2 flocks ag-
gregate 100000 birds, and that is
Well over half the chickens in the

Experience has taught the poul-
tryman that housing hens in this

have lower mortality and return
greater profit when run without
houses than when housed, so says

Pioneer Exhibit
To Be Permanent

Efforts to collect fast vanishing
relics of Imperial Valleys pioneer
days have resulted in the estab-
lishment of permanent exhibit at
the fair grounds.
All pioneers were invited to con-
tribute to this exhibit and it is
growing rapidly from year to year.
The display contains old time We
hicles, farming implements, saddles
and harness as well as household
equipment and wearing apparel.
While Imperial Valley in 1881 is
close to the beginnings of her his
tory and pioneer relics are not held
in reverence which antiquity be-
slows, as time goes on this exhibit
will become invaluable. Contribu-
tions to the exhibit are always well

AIR CLEANERS
ON MOTORS Aid
TO STOP WEAR

A good air cleaner, properly in
stalled and serviced, means less
engine wear, less trouble, less ex-
pense for fuel. oil, repairs and
breakdowns, quieter running and
greater dependability. This is the
opinion OF A. II. Hoffman, aericul-
tural engineer in the University of
California Agricultural Experiment
Station at the branch of the Col
leee of Agriculture here. Hoffman
has just published Bulletin 490 OF
the Experiment Station, Air Clean
ers for Motor Vehicles. which may
be obtained free by writing the Col
lege at Berkeley or Davis.
Most OF the air cleaners now
sold" says Hoffman, "if properly
selected rs to size for the engine on
which they are used, and If kept
clean, do not appreciably affect the
power or acceleration OF road yehi-
cleS at speeds OF 40 miles an hour
and under. Above this speed the
effects OF big restriction and of in
sufficient seryicing are much more
marked
Hoffman gives some don'ts for air
cleaners, including these: Don't
lave inlets facing the radiator fan,
don't have elbows and long tubu-
lar connections, don't have leaks be-
tween the cleaner and the carbure-
tor. don't neglect seryicing, don't
expect the dry centrifugal type of
cleaner to give protection.
Hoffman in the bulletin describes
in detail the experiments with vari-
ous makes and types OF air clean
ers that have been made in his lab
oratory in the Agricultural Engi-
neering Division. He makes cbser-
fations on the best types of clean
ers and gives information on the
subject that. it is believed. will be

Police Protection

Adequate police protection will be

happens where there are large
crowds, they will be given good care.
Sheriff Campbell will have at
least honorary supervision of the

 SEVENTH: Reduction of both freight and passenger ~-A~~ on the government-owned Alaska Rail- road.
 EIGHTH: The fishing industry IS the principal industry of Alaska. AS at present operated, the benefit derived by Alaska from said indus try are not what it should be. Un- der the common sense methods in vogue in all countries of the world relying on it's fishing indr"+ry for means of SuStenance, Alaska should nave a number of up -tO-date towns and communities which should benefit from the fishing business.

 TENTH: Mining ranks second in Alaskan industries and should be encouraged in every way possible
 ELEVENTH: Consolidation of all Federal bureaus in Alaska into one integral unit under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, and thus avoid red tape and dup lication of expense.
 TWELFTH: That suitable coal ! bunkers should be built by the gov- 1 ernment at Seward or Anchorage l and that all Federal bureaus in AL aska and along the Pacific Coast | be requested to purchase Alaska coal thus, creating traffic for the railroad and assisting the coal op- orators in the MatanuSka and Healy River fields.
