When the sophomores discovered
that they had some outstanding
debts, the pleasantest way OF re-
moving these was thought to be q
pie-party, or box social. Accord

sophomores' advisers, the boxes sold
very well, since there were many
more boys than girls.

EQUIPMENT FOR

UNDER DISCUSSION

Permanent equipment and furn-
ishing of the new detention home
are some of the chief items in the
budget of the Imperial County Pro-
baton committee, the members Of
the coast cities. Therefore building
costs will not be increased by firm
provision that only men who have
resided in Imperial Valley for one
year may be used in local construc-
ton work and the benefits to the
community by such a wise stipu-
lation will be very marked and
have it's effects in all lines of bus

our national defense which rides horseback Is
more important than ever before IN It's nm

Military mechanization and the airplane have
lightened the former assignments OF the horse

formed by trained birdmen in armored planes
This increases both the fire and fighting power

ways they reach perfection when they
are worn by an American woman.
"One great reason for this is the fact
that American women understand most
thoroughly how to keep their figures.
And a good ngure is much more i'm
portant than pretty face"
At any rate, SEE I, a good figures a
lot easier TO get.
The audience which filed out Of Para
mounts preview of Murnau's exquisite
film, "Tabu," was strangely silent. The
picture, last made by the famous direc-
tor who met tragic death near Santa
Barbara Q short time back, is stark
death, and the man who made 1t met
death tragically just after the plaudits
CT motion picture producers rang in his
ears.
The story is South Sea idyl of I'M
forgetable beauty. 1t is camera quality
of the f1neSt-Story sculpture done by
an understanding soul. 1t is stepped in
the ageleSs beauty of living and touched
by the terrible beauty of death.
The critics who saw it filed out in
silence. The picture had been made so
alphabetically that showing OF 1t
under different circumstances might
have similarly affected them. But as
1t was, "Tabu" might have been a re-
QUEEN for Fred Murnau, man whom
most of the colony knew for an artist
Of first quality, q friend of great worth
and an apostle of camera beauty with
sound minus dialogue, something he
achieved most successfully in "Tabu."
1t is made with an entire native cast.
They became his friends in the making,
and 1t was Murnau's idea when his visit
in Germany with his mother had ended
to return to this island paradise, to the
home he had made there during the
two years he had spent making "Tabu."
