'WHAT PRICE GLORY"

THE title Of this article has become
L somewhat hackneyed through use but
it strikes Us as being particularly fitting
III connection with one who has been most
prominently in the e.es OF the nation on
Saturday afternoons tor the past Jew
months.
When Booth of Yale went into the
game Il was as though an event C real
Importance was taking place. The root
ing section rooted harder, the blanket
holders and corps Of assistants ringed
around him 2s he prepared himself 10
trot out to ms teammates already in the
game and none OF the thousands Of spec
tators was allowed 10 overlook the fact
that The power and MAJESTY Of Yale was
10 be put forth against all opponent.
1t was all very theatrical ana somewhat
oVerdone. This was not because CT Booth,
nor of the Yale team. 1t is merely the
way we do modern football. We have
surrounded it with a glamor that has
made it spectacle instead Of merely q
contest between % young men induIg-
ing in athletic competition.
Booth was the Idol of Yale and OF all
that Vale implies, which IS a great deal
along the Atlantic seaboard and even in
remote parts OF the country, for the sons
Of Eli are everywhere.
Now Albie Booth is patient in a san
atorium with hard fight ahead Of him
if he is to be restored to complete health.
He must make his fight alone, without
the physical presence of his thousands Of
admirers.
From the awe-inspiring spectacle Of
husky hal. back streaLing across the field,
something that makes the less physically
fit men green with envy, he is changed III
to just another patient in just another
white he'd.
Ore cannot help but wonder Why this
has happened. Yale's football team has
coaches and sub-coaches, trainers and
physicians galore. Could they not have
seen the real physical condition of this
young man? It seems almost impossible
to believe that they could not. If they
did, they permitted him to go on taking
toll of his physical self. Why? For Yale?
For the team? For the difference in dol
lars and cents that the presence or alb
sence of Booth would make in the gate re-
ceipts? One doesn't ike TO think that,
but the feet remains that week ago
Albie Booth was hero as he booted the

UNCLE WTGGTLY'S SHAVING
CREAM

Uncle Wiggily nopped Gathering
down the back stairs into the
kitchen Of his hollow stump bunga-
low. Nurse Jane was very busy be-
tween the table and the gas stove.
I'm! UNI That smells good!"
cried Uncle Wiggily shifting with
his pink, twinkling nose.
Nov I hope you haven't come
down TO bother me-" squeaked the
musllrat lady housekeeper.
No, indeed Uncle Wiggily said.
But what is it that smells SO de-
liciouS and lovely?'
I'm baking a cake answered
Nurse Jane, but you cant have
any until dinner time. Then I am
going to have It covered with white
icing like snow flakes. Please go
away and don't bother me when I
am baking"

Christmas Seal
Proceeds To Be
Spent In County

All money derived from the
tWenty-fifth annual Christmas seal
sale will be spent entirely in I'M
perial county by the local tubercu-
losis association, according to an
nouncement made today by Mrs.
w. G.. Hill, Of Imperial, seal sale
chairman.
After successfully carrying on the
Hipass carnp for seven years with
an increase in the number Of chill
dren cared for, from 10 TO Ill, the
association has turned the project
over TO the 40 ct g. This leaves the
seal sale returns available for
needed work in the early diagnosis
of tuberculosis and prevention nf
the disease. Funds this year will
be used for an educational program
through the schools, for follow-up
of contact cases and early eXami-
nation of the school child.
Last year the association raised
$3.50 by the sale Of seals, but as
the camp cost them $2400, they op-
Grated at a deficit. This early
work in detection and prevention
of tuberculosis, the local association
feels. is most important to the
health of the community and it
asks the cooperation Of all citi-
zens.

CAKE up in the bath room
NO, indeed caucEled Mr.. Long
ears. L am shaving, but I can't
find the cup IN which / mix my
soapv. frothv lather that I spread
On my whiskers 50 they will shave
off easier. Since I can't find my
shaving mug in which to make my
lather. may l borrow one of your
kitchen boWls?"
oh. I suppose So" said Nurse
Jane as she PITT the pans Of cake
batter IN the oven to bake. "Herel
Take it and please hop cut so you
won't bother me-"
All right" said Uncle Wiggily.
Taking the brown bowl Nurse Jane
gave him, Mr. Longears went up the
back stairs TO the bath room.
There Mr.. Longears put some
SOAP and hot water in the bowl and
with his Brush beat up the suds into
a fine, creamy lather.
This bowl is almost as GOOD as
ny shaving mug" SAID Uncle Wig
2.ly as he dipped his brush into it.
i can't imagine where my shaving
mug has gone. Maybe Baby Bunty
took it TO give the gold fish his
bath. Well, I dare say I'll find it
tomorrow. Now for a good shave"
Having mixed up a fine bowl full
OF soapy lather, Uncle Wiggily
spread some on his face, rubbing it
into his Whiskers, and then, with
his razor, he began to shave him
self.
Meanwhile, down in the kitchen,
Nurse Jane, having put the layers
of cake into the oven to bake,
cleaned up her pots and pans and
said:
Now, while the cake is baking,
Imperial Valley press., 1931-12-02

III mix up the white, Snowy icing
to spread over the top. Uncle Wig
gily likes lots of icing on his cake
SO must make plenty"
But before Nurse Jane had a
chance to do this she heard Mrs.
Longears, the rabbit lady, calling
to her.
Nurse Jane!" called Uncle Wig
gilys wife, will you please come up
here and help me pin UP this new
dress? I can't do it alone"
"Oh, certainly, Mrs. Longears,"
squeaked the muskrat lady. I'll
have time enough 10 mix the cake
icing when l come down" she said.
But I had better take the cake
layers out of the oven before they
burn. I think they are done now -
The cake was baked to the right
shade of brown and. leaving the
layers on the table, Nurse Jane hur-
ried upstairs to pin the rabbit lady'5
new dress for her.
BY this time Uncle Wiggily had
finished shaving and, putting away
his razor, ne said:
"I'll just take this bowl OF lather
down to the kitchen. Nurse Jane
might want it to wash up the floor
with after baking her cake"
SO Uncle Wiggily left the bowl Of
eoapy lather on the table near the
baked cake layers and went eff to
look for an adventure. And soon
after that Jingle and Jangle, the
two little rabbit girls, came home
from school, hopping in the back
kitchen door.
ooh, look' cried Jingle. Nurse
Jane has baked a cake.'
"And she's left the bowl Of icing
all ready to spread on!" said
| .Iangle. Let's ice the cake for her.
l guess she had to 90 to the store
or something. Come on, wen help
her"
"Surel" agreed Jingle. 80, not
! knowing it was shaving SOAP lathe,
in the bowl Uncle WiggiIy had left
on the table. the two little rabbit
girls, intending to be kind, spread
the lather all over the layers Of
cake and put them together.
"Now we'll put the rest Of the
icing on top of the cake" said
Jingle. Jangle helped ner and then,
hearing Nurse Jane coming, out
they ran to play and something
funny happened next. Ill tell you
about it tomorrow night. Then, if
/ fIp missy cat doesn't get her tail
caught In the mouse trop, you shall
hear about Uncle Wiggilys cake.

on reading Of the set-Gown he received
Yesterday from an English Judge who re-
fused to be impressed or ayed by the
Chaplin name CT the Chaplin person.
Il was such a decided contrast from the
regular procedure " III so many of ou'
American judges, who are so ready 10
bow and scrapa before anyone that even
remotely represents power, influence or
prestige. Mr.. Chaplin was given no more
consideration than would be accorded 10
an ordinary mortal.
Oh course, IN the eyes of this particc-
lar Judge, who IS peer, Chaplin was IAN
inferior person" despite his wealth, the
well known comedian having come from
the slums of London. Possibly had he
been from rank which the judge could
conscientiously recognize as higher than
his own. the latter would have done a lit
tie bowing and scraping. though we think
not English judges are quite independ-
ent. IN fact sometimes it would appear
that independence has just packed up bag
and baggage and moved over ff0M AM
erica to England.

THE DRY BOARD OF
STRATEGY
lcoNTINUED FROM PAGE 81

larger constituency AT no time in the
history of the prohibition movement has
there been any united effort even re-
motely approaching that which has thus
been created. Not only are the thirty
three dry organizations of the country,
grouped together in this national asso-
citation and represented by this board of
strategy intent upon the same aim, but
they are so corelating their forces under
a united effort that duplication may be
avoided and the full effect given to their
endeavors. Through the cooperation of
the various state organizations with ex-
listing state headquarters and with the
local units already existing and func-
tioning in counties, towns and cities, it
is believed that almost the entire voting
strength of the American people can be
reached with accurate information and
stirred to organized effort through ma
chinery whose effectiveness has already
been demonstrated.

ENFORCEMENT MORE THAN
PAYING ITS WAY IN OHIO
LIQUORS

Out of 4,838 arrests for liquor viola
tons made by the state prohibition de-
partment of Ohio in the year ending
September l, 1881, 4,0o7 convictions were
obtained These facts were given in the
report of Prohibition Commissioner
Clarence H. Sears filed with Governor
White, September %.
Total fines assessed under the state
liquor laws were $828,o29 of which
$217,350 went into the state treasury and
the balance into county, township and
municipal divisions. The cost of oper-
ating the state prohibition department
was $126,537, there being therefore a
profit to the state of $90,813.
During the year inspectors seized and
destroyed 831 stills and arrested 100
persons for transportation of liquor.

Unemployment and consequent want is
a great burden, which falls heavily on the
payer of state and local taxes. In one small
rural county of Michigan the amount
spread on the tax roll for the current year
is $4,000, of which exactly one-half, $Io,-
600, is for poor relief. 1t is not clear how
that county-or any other-would be re-
lieved if saloons were opened to sell beer
to all corners. Unemployed men would
have plenty of time to hang about the bar
and spend there the money that should go
for food. The taxpayers are asked not
only to feed the unemployed, but to fur
nish them beer, and to pay the tax on that
beer in order that the rich need not do it.
1t is a great scheme for the wealthy vets,

NO AID TO THE FARMER

The claim frequently made that reopen
ing the breweries would aid the farmers
invariably ignores the benefit that has come
to the farmers through prohibition. The
growth of dairy farming is typical illus
tration. Under prohibition the people are
not spending so much money for beer and
other liquor and they have the means to
follow the suggestion of physicians and
nutrition experts to use more dairy prod
ucts. The United States Department of
Agriculture reports show that the per cap
tia consumption of milk was 42.4 gallons
in 1917, and 55.3 gallons in 1926, and is
constantly rising. Ice cream produced in
factories rose from I22,ooo,ooo gallons in
1917 to 24o,75o,ooo gallons in 1890 There
were 8I8,I75ooo pounds of butter produced
in factories in 1913, and almost double that
in 1890, or 1894 $4,000 pounds.
If tax on beer would solve economic
problems Germany today would not need
to ask the United States for moratorium
on the payment of her debts. No nation
can drink itself rich any more than an in
dividual can do so. From an economic
standpoint the beer revenue plan is un-
sound, selfish, and oppressive.

LIQUOR MANUFACTURE AND
EMPLOYMENT
CONTINUED FROM PAGE al

1t is claimed that opening the breweries
would provide employment for many. One
enthusiast claims that million persons
would be employed by the booze and allied
industries. The largest number of wage
earners employed in the manufacture of
liquor and beverages was in 1914, when
$3.50 were employed in 1852 establish
ments (P. 100, Statistical Abstract, 1927
The small wage formerly paid by the liq
uor interests was notorious. The following
table, prepared long before national prohi-
btion, shows the relative amounts paid for
labor and material in certain manufactured
products:
