COURTESY AND POLITICS

MAYOR PORTER of Los Angeles is re-
III ported to have refused to welcome
Governor Roosevelt to the coast metrop-
oils because 'he is wet and am a dry,
and the action might be misconstrued
Such course might be expected from
the Los Angeles mayor, who, on several
occasions, has proved himself hopelessly
provincial, and narrow-minded in the ex-
treme.
What are his personal views against
CALIFORNIA; S renowned hospitality? The
mayor of every other city in which the
Democratic candidate appeared, has
gladly given him a welcome. The COVER
nor of this state, who differs radically
with Mr.. Roosevelt's political views ex-
tended him cordial welcome
Mr.. Roosevelt may be political cam
didate, a Democrat, a wet, a Tammany
man and anything else that dry Repub-
lican can think to call him-the fact re-
mains he is a distinguished American
gentleman, the recognized leader of thou
sands of citizens of Los Angeles, who are
rs loyal to that city as Mayor Porter
or any other dry Republican may be.
He might do we'll to remember that he
is mayor of all Los Angeles and not just
of the dry, Republican section of it.
We hope to see Mr.. Roosevelt showed
under flock of votes in November but
if his trip east carries him through Ell
Centro in the daytime, we will gladly be
one of a crowd to give him friendly
greeting as he passes through. No, we
won't get up in the night to do it.

Complainant In
Theft Jailed AS
Accused Is Freed

When a man bites a dog-etc.,
but here's a better one.
When a prisoner goes to Jail, that
is only the ordinary thing, but
when the prisoner goes free and
the alleged victim goes to Jail, that,
ladies and gentlemen, is news.
Therefore it was a newsy day in
Judge I. Mayfield's court yesterday
afternoon when Judge Mayfield
found v. Valenzuela not guilty of
petty theft, and sentenced T. To-
prahanian, the complaining wit
ness, to pay fine of $25 or serve
II days in Jail for contempt of
court.
Valenzuela had been tried We'd
nesday morning, and judgment
withheld until yesterday afternoon.
The verdict was not guilty. Evi-
dence was not sufficient to con-
vict Valenzuela of having stolen a
wrench from a tractor on Topra-
hanian's ranch, the judge held.
But Toprahanian thought differ
emily, and expressed his opinion in
no uncertain terms. In fact, the
rancher's terms were SO certain
that they left no doubt in Judge
Mayfield's mind. He promptly held
Toprahanan in contempt of court,
and sentenced him. Since he could
not pay the fine, Toprahanian was
committed to Jail. Valenzuela was
released.
R. I. French represented the dis
trict attorneys office. Don Camp
bell, deputy sheriff who arrested
Valenzuela to begin with released
custody of him and took the al
legged victim of the theft into Gus
tody for delivery at the county
Jail.

Library Patrons
Advised OF Hours

Confusion as to hours when the
library is open, resulted from
change made not long ago, accord
ing to Agnes Ferris Bigelow, and
many patrons telephone before vis-
iting the building.
It is suggested that library pa
irons clip the hours from The Press
and keep them for reference. This
will save time of patrons, the IL
brarian and her assistants.
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays,
and Fridays the building is open
from l o'clock in the afternoon un-
til 8 o'clock at night. On Wednes-
days the hours are from 10 o'clock
in the morning until 6 o'clock at
night and on Saturdays the hours
are from 10 o'clock in the morning
until l o'clock in the afternoon.
The building is not open on Sun
days, according to the librarian.

Then you may" answered Miss
Mouse. She was just going up on
her platform, to start the morning

to join in when all of a sudden, a

Baby Bunty.

"I'll catch that School Bugl"
shouted the small boy with the
golden hair. I'll catch him!" With
that he ran to the Lady Mouse
teachers deck, picked up her ink
bottle, took out the cork and then
he chased the Bug around until he
had caught him in the bottle. The
School Bug buzzed, but couldn't
get out, for Bub stuck the cork
back in. Then everything was all
right and the morning song school
began.
All the pupils loved little Bub.

Fewer Fur Animals

Farmers and trappers are trap
ping fewer fur animals each year,
says the bureau of biological sur
vey. Some of the causes of this
are: Overlapping for many years
in reduced breeding areas. low
prices for raw furs in the last few
years, and tire drought of 1890.
which reduced the number of fur
animals. The floods of 1927 also
destroyed many fur animals in the
Mississippi basin and New England.
The numbers of foxes, martens,
minks. fishers, and beavers reach
ing the market are decreasing, says
the bureau, but there are still many
skunks, OpOSsums. raccoOns and
muskrats. The muskrat, which
breeds often and raises large FAM
lilies. is one of the biggest fur pro-
ducers.

Handsome Tribute This,
to Women of America

/ am grateful to the American
women for having rejuvenated the
faded and declining race of tourists.
They have brought their dainty
dresses, their pretty legs, their
laughter, their naturalness and their
fanaticism for pleasure and knowl-
edge onto the boats and into the ho-
tel lobbies, Paul Merand writes, in
Vanity Fair.
Before they appeared on the
pathways of the earth one met on
the international highways only un-
approachable old English ladies,
Jewish merchants in fur-lined coats
and German commercial travellers.
It is for these charming ladies that
during the last ten years steamers
have rivaled each other in swim
ming pools and orchestras, hotels in
flowers and new curtains and res
taurants in original cocktails and
shaved ice.
Formerly one Travelled in ones
oldest clothes. Today, thanks to
them, touring is a series of smiles
and fetes-and this morning as l

themselves in beautiful silk robes

Much Color Blindness
Found in Middle West

Complete color blindness may be
rare, as science says, but the navy
has discovered that even partial in
ability to distinguish colors is quite
a handicap to seafaring life. Not
long ago a ships commander ran
his vessel aground because he could
not distinguish a red light from a
white one. Though no great dam
age was done resultant inquiry re-
vealed a real menace to color-blind
navigation. So the Annapolis au-
thorities are now very strict.
1t is interesting that the Naval
academy finds that most of its color
blind applicants come from the Mid
die West. The explanation is that
this section of the country, being
generally fiat, is devoid of the
marked colorings of the East and
West and its residents have gradu-
ally lost their ability to distinguish
colors. Advent of traffic signal
lights is helping overcome natures
neutralness in this section to some
extent, but the fact remains that
the Middle West is markedly color
blind. Which reminds us of the case
of a Washington woman, the wife of
an air service officer, who, though
color blind, drives her own car about
the capital. Her system is unique.
She knows the location of the red,
yellow and green lights in the traf-
fic signals, and can govern her move
ments accordingly.-Pathfinder Mag
azine.

Farnhurst Institution
SMYRNIANS ON BOARD

Governor C. Douglass Buck
Thursday afternoon, formally in
spected the new re-educational
building at the State Hospital,
Farnhurst. The building which was
constructed at cost of S135, 900,
was occupied yesterday, Tuesday.
Governor Buck made a thorough
tour of the new structure consid-
cred the most modern of its type
in the country. He was accom-
panied by DR.. M. A. Tarumianz,
superintendent; Fred H. Gawthrop,
chairman of the board of trustees,
DR.. T. B. Davies, r. Henry Grier.
Col. Theodore Townsend, DR.. c. j.
Prickett, Former State Senator H.
P. Hall, and DR.. Lewis Booker.
Satisfaction with the building was
expressed by Governor Buck fol-
lowing the inspection. He also
congratulated DIR. Tarumianz, Mr..
Gawthrop, G. Morris Whiteside,
I'd, the architect, Robert P. Scho-
enijahn, the engineer and Cantera
Construction Company, general
contractor, on the results. DR..
Tarumianz explained to Governor
Buck that through this unit the
hospital hopes to speed the recov-
cry of many patients at the insti-
tuition. DR.. Tarumianz did much
of the original planning of the
structure and equipment and is re-
sponsible for the conception of the
unit and its aim. The new build
ing will be used only for male pa
tients. The hospital expects to
build a similar unit for women.
Complete or partial re-education of
those patients sufficiently recov-
cred to reclaim their places in So
ciety, but who through loss of con-
tact or other causes are incapable,
without special training, will be
undertaken in this building. Re-
