GET A TOURIST

NOTHING much can be said about it
iV except that it is what is to be expect
ed at this time of the year. In case the
reader doesn't know what ''it' refers to,
we mean the topic that has been upper
most in all minds since last Saturday
We don't mean politics either The
topic is the weather. We almost hate to
write the word for it makes things seem
a little worse than they are, and they
are bad enough just now
Being Pollyannish about it doesn't
help much, but it will do no harm to
point out that this is August "a 1t
would be much worse if it were June "a
or July "a, for the long stretch ahead
then could not be lodged. We can feel
confident, however, that this present
siege cannot last great while, and we
have had the satisfaction of extremely
pleasant temperatures during the great
er part of July and August.
How to be comfortable in this sort of
weather is everyones problem. One can
hear all sorts of suggestions. We have
one of our own that has never failed to
work on the hottest day Imperial Valley
can provide.
If the thermometer is away up high
and one desires to be cool, the best way
to obtain it is by finding tourist. We've
all seen tourists stopping here for cool
ing drink while enroute across the valley.
They certainly look miserable and there
is no doubt that they feel miserable.
Coming into the valley from the 'out-
side they feel the weather more than
We do The best variety of tourist to
get, for cooling off purposes, is one east
ward bound. Having just left the coast
and come over the mountains, he thinks
Imperial Valley is about two miles this
side (maybe the other) of hades. Take
a good look at him and you will be sur
prised how cool you feel. For a real
cooling off, the sight of stout matron
sizzling in the summer climate, cannot
be beaten except by the sight of a fat
man sweltering and boiling in his own
suet.
Looking at a tourist for a cooling off
process has never failed us. We pass
the suggestion on so as to help other
valleyites and now we are going out to
find us a tourist-no, two of them,
fat man and a fat woman, then we'll
come back here and don the overcoat.

MANUFACTURE OF
DRY ICE TO BE
SUBJECT OF TALK

| A number of persons from Braw.
ley and Calipatria have made res,
ervations for tonight's chamber OF
commerce dinner meeting to be
held at $50 o'clock at the Hotel
Barbara Worth, chamber headquar-
ters advises.
The speakers will be Carl M. Elm
hart, of Arcadia. and c.. A. Winder,
consulting engineer of Los Angeles.
They will talk on the plant for the
manufacture of Cry ice from carbon
dioxide gas. which it is planned to
erect in the north end of Imperial
Valley
1t is expected that the talks of
these men will be interesting and
| instructive Einhart has been ac-
tive in developing public utility
companies in the southwest and
Winder has been q consultant in
the Los Angeles field. Both are
enthusiastic over the possibilities
OF manufacturing dry ice from the
natural carbon dioxide gas under
lying a portion Of Imperial Valley
and state that itE popularity is due
to the fact that carbon dioxide ice
has a temperature of 140 degrees
colder than other ice and is Is
times as efficient.
President Tondro of the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce has urged
all chamber members to be present
and states that an invitation is ex-
tended to all persons, whether mem
bers of the chamber of commerce
or not, to hear the talks of Winder
and Einhart. Ladies are invited
and Tondro states it has been not
ed that throughout the summer the
attendance of members of the fair
sex has increased at each chamber
of commerce dinner.

o. but It's hot ]!

As for Uncle Wiggily, after hav-
ing taken his wife's salad bowl to
make a bird bath, the rabbit gen.
tleman made up his mind he would
be very careful what next he took
from the bungalow kitchen.
For if I am not careful" he
said to himself, II may take the
gas stove out and give it to some
puppy dog boys for kennel
Uncle Wiggily was hopping
around, which he did every day, to
look for adventures.
But" he murmured as he went
slowly in the shade of the bushes,
IT don't ever remember such a hot
day as thisl Whewl I wish I had
a bird bath or something like that"
Though Mr.. Longears had taken
his morning bath in the tub Of his
hollow stump bungalow, as he al
ways did, now, a short time after
ward, he as as hot as if he had
never splashed any water down the
back of his neck and into his long,
pink-lined ears.
But I guess I'm too big to get
into a salad bowl bird bath!"
chuckled Mr.. Longears as he
hoped along. "Oh, but it's hotl'
why don't you take shower
bath?" asked voice, though Uncle
Wiggily could not see from whence
it came. "A shower bath would
make you lovely and cool" the voice
went on.
Who are you?" asked the rab-
bit, for, though the voice came
from behind some bushes, Mr.
Longear's could not see no one.
Who are you?'
Never mind about that" was the
answer. Just think of rle as a
friend who is giving you some good
advice and go take a shower bath
But where shall / find a shower
bath without going all the long, hot
way back to my bungalow" asked
Uncle Wiggily, for ne had come a
long distance, and this without
/ finding an adventure.
There is no need to go back tc
your bungalow to find a shower
bath for a hot day" went on the
unseen talker. Go to the brook
that runs through the woods not
far from here. In one place the
brook tumbles down over a little
hill of rocks and stones"
"Oh, you mean the WATERFALL
exclaimed Uncle Wiggily.

McPherrin Called
To Sick Brother

Attorney Roy D. McPherrin, cam
didate for judge of the superior
court, was called to Los Angeles
last night by the serious illness of
his brother, Paul McPherrin, who
is reported to be in grave danger
from a long illness.
Paul McPherrin, who is also an
attorney, is well known among old
er residents of the valley and was
frequent visitor here in the early
days.
The local attorney hoped to be
able to return here by tomorrow
night if his brothers condition per-

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
EDITOR SMITH

DOLITICS' loss is iournalism's gain
and the announcement that Al Smith
is to be editor of one of the nations best
known magazines is news that will inter-
est many.
The Happy Warrior" of 1928, who
has not been so happy this summer, will
seem rather odd sitting in the seat once
occupied by Theodore |, but that he can
do it capably no fair-minded person can
deny
Smith has ability-p1enty of it. He
has much greater ability than some who
scoff at him for his odd pronunciation
of radio and his peculiar New York ac-
cent, which, for that matter, is no more
unnatural to him or to his discredit,
than Mr.. Coolidges twang or Mr.. Gar
ner's range accent, are to them.
There is little doubt that Smith is
more able man than the man the DEM
ocrats have chosen to lead them this
year. One might not agree with Smith
but certainly one always knew where
Smith stood on any question of public
interest, and Smith also knew where he
stood and didn't care who knew it or
what they thought about it.
His magazine is considered to be out
side the political arena, but it will not be
surprising if it acquires political tlnge
with Smith at the helm. PolltlcS is MS
forte, and has been all his life. He is
too old to be taught new tricks, especial
ly if the tricks mean the complete elm
ination of politics from his life
There are many who could not vote
for Smith as a presidential candidate
who will wish him every success in his
new venture. He has been a colorful
figure in national affairs and he has also
been an interesting and influential one.
It seems quite likely that his career as
journalist will be equally interesting
and influential.
Indications at present are that Smith
is out of politics for the 1892 campaign.
If so, he is going to be sorely missed by
the Democratic party in the eastern
states. They need him there and none
knows it better than Messrs. Roosevelt,
Garner and McAdoo. They may find
sidetracking Smith mobile" but costly
experiment.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SHOWER
BATH

High in the sky the yellow sun
blazed down upon the earth, max
ing it very hot. 1t was SO hot that
even the birds no longer sang nor
flew about, but perched in such
cool and shady places as they could
find. Those who had bird baths
used them, and a family of robins,
for whom Uncle Wiggily had set a
yellow salad bowl in a hollow
stump, were very happy this day.
For it is a most beautiful bath!'
said the mother robin. Splash in
again, my dears!" she said to her
little birds, so they splashed in and
were much cooler.

TEST BROADCASTS
ON LIGHT BEAMS
Engineers Seriously Consider
Its P0SsibiIities-Many
Advantages Found.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 21.-Radio en-
gineers are looking seriously into the
possibilities of hroadcasting on light
beams Already they see q number OF
advantages for the system. such as
localizing the signal to greater ex-
tent than Is now possible and ut the
same time increasing the available
space in the ether.
Tests made so far have demonstrated
that an ordinary receiving set, when
given the aid of q small photoelectric
cell, the device which makes television
transmission possible, will pick up sig
mails sent on light beams. The photo
cell merely Is connected across the re-
eeiving antenna.
At the transmitter the outgoing sig
nal Is modulated or impressed upon q
light beam through a small Neon lamp.
after first being modulated on q carrier
frequency of 1000 kilccycles. 1t was
one place on the dial through the light
beam. as well as ON the 1000 kilocycle
adjustment.
Had Two Selectivity Types.
When the hight beam was interrupted,
reception stopped, proving that the
photocen was actually doing the pick
up. 1t was soon learned that the re-
ceiver had two types OF selectivity-an
optical selectivity obtained by focusing
the 'periscope" or receiving photocell
upon different light sources, and fire.
quency selectivity by which different
adjustments Of the dial gave different
programs, all broadcast from the same
source of light.
Besides there was the selectivity of
the ordinary receiver, because the outfit
could be used to gather in radio waves
in the usual manner. This effect, the
engineers believe, may make possible a
considerable increase in the number of
broadcasts that can be done simultane-
ously In given locality.
No Need to Restrict Channels.
They report that with light broadcast
ing there is no need to restrict each
channel as Is the case with ordinary
radio waves, and that channels OF any
desired width can be used.
Further, they have concluded that
light broadcasting will make possible
the limitation of a stations area to
given radius, something practically i'm
possible today. For instance, small
Communities could be served from a
single light source, with the larger COM
mrnities having a central beacon dis
tributing concentrated light beams to
various redistributing beacons, so that
each receiver would be within range OF
a light beam.
Another application foreseen Is the
use of light transmission for aerial navi-
CATION during periods Of fog.
