MERGING THE LINES

ANNOUNCEMENT that the Southern
n Pacific company seeks to obtain full
control of the San Diego and Arizona
Railway, is of particular interest to I'M
perial Valley, as this city is the eastern
terminus of the San Diego line.
Heretofore the line has been owned
half and half by the Southern Pacific
and the Spreckels interests.
Announcement by the president OF the
Southern Pacific states that 1t is pro-
posed to develop new transcontinentaI
southern line with San Diego as its west
ern terminus.
This would result in increased freight
and passenger service through Imperial
Valley, something that can only be consid-
cred in the light of an asset.
There is much reason for wishing TO
develop the tranScontinental route.
As far as San Diego and Imperial
Valley are concerned, for practical pur-
poses the transcontinental line of the
Southern Pacific ends at Yuma and Nj
land. Hundreds of passengers who are
now unable to visit the valley or San
Diego, because their trains do not come
through here, would, in the event the
Southern Pacific acquires full control,
be sent through the valley.
There is every reason to believe that
complete absorption of the line by the
Southern Pacific would be for the best
interests of all concerned.

Call Workers to Plant,
Not for Job But to Tell
Them Vote for Hoover

HAMMOND, Ind.-Here in the
Calumet Region the industries are
especially carrying on an intensive
campaign to reflect Hoover. To those
few who are working they terrorize
by informing them to vote for Hoo
yer if they want to keep working or
see more work. They tell the UNI
employed that there will be no
chance for job unless Hoover is
reelected. How many workers will
be intimidated by this old-time
bunk?
In one plant they pinned Hoover
buttons on every employees coat la
pei as they were leaving the shop.
In another industry, now closed
down, they called all of their en-
ployees to work for one day, to lec-
ture to them ito vote for Hoover if
they expected to go to work aagin.
There is only one workers party
IN this campaign-there can be only
one! How can there be any more?
Workers are workers! and have only
one party, the Communist Party!

Says Human Nature"
Is Reason for Graft

At an election symposium held
by the Harlem Progressive Youth
Club in Harlem, Wednesday night.
James Lanzatta, Democratic can
didate for Congress from the goth
District, admitted, when questioned
by NJ E. Taft, Communist speaker.
that graft will exist in the govern
ment whether it is Republican or
Democratic, Lanzatta, tried to-
blame this condition on human
nature"
Taft, was applauded when he
showed that graft is natural to cap
ltalism and its political tools.
Lanzatta failed to answer Taft's
question if it is possible for the
same candidate or political party
to represent the workers and the
bosses at the same time.
The Harlem Progressive Youth
Club will hold it's last election rally
Monday, at s pm, with a parade
which will start at 1888 Madison

Wdshin9ton Fashions
By WILMA LAVILLE

The prints that seem to be
in the front row of fashion
this year are those that a
fashion magazine so aptly calls
straightforward" prints, the
stripes, dots, plaids and daisies.
They are clean-cut, definite,
and the sort of thing that has
a lot of dash and inspiration,
and at the same time, you will
not tire of. Much has been
done with plaids by the Paris
designers, and a good bit in
America, but they are not yet
enormously popular, nor does
it look like they will be this
season. so for that reason,
many women prefer them. It's
pretty sure they will not ,e
overdone, and that they will
maintain their distinctiveness.
Two COlOrS Only
A plaid may be as varied as
you please this year as to &C.
sign, but it is usually rather
conservative in the colorS that
are put together. Dark tones
with white are favorites, navy,
wine or black combined with
white, and there are some
stunning unusual ideas such as
black and gold, or aqua with
black. There are wide plaids
made, of small stripes, or small
plaids made of wide stripes, all
of them equally smart and
wearable, but usually only in
two or three colors. They are
better when they are made up
very simply. using only the
plaid in different directions
for trimming, or diScreetly
trimmed in plain color. They
nearly always are partially or
entirely on the bias, and some
times run together at an angle.
Printed SheerS New
Plaids are apt to be found
on any material these days,
too. just as other prints are.
The dress sketched is of a
triple sheer, in navy plaided
in white. The dress has a
skirt that is amply pleated
so that it will hang straight
and suave 1t has the very
smart cape sleeves, both on
dress and jacket, while the
jacket is of navy flat crepe.
