6 p. m.
We always like to receive pic
lures of old members of the
club, boys and girls whom we
have known by name and
through their letters and whose
faces we would like to know
equally we'll.
All three of these club men,
bers, Marguerite, Wilbur and
Shirley Ann, have been in the
club for months and months.
If we are not mistaken the
two girls were among the first
two or three hundred to join.
Wilbur came in later.
Party Near
How many of you remember
the date the first club column
appeared? We are planning a
big celebration for our first
anniversary and we are curl
Gus to know just who our
charter members are. If you
joined the day we made our
juvenile bow to Washington
we would be delighted to hear
about it. Write us if you feel
you are entitled to be claSsed
as a charter member. And tell
us what you have liked best
about the club. And how you
think we could improve it.
Here is a letter from Wilbur
May, jr., 214 Third st. N. E.,
which, we think, will interest
you. It did us.
Writes Wilbur:

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS

The Press accepts his withdrawal with
regret but with the belief that he is right.
The drift is toward repeal of prohibition,
which is against Swings political prin-
ciples; the large number Of candidates in
the field would make campaign a cost
ly venture with too great possibility
Of failure; issues which are relatively
non-essential have been permitted to be-
cloud those which are highly important.
From every angle It would be unfair
to expect Swing to remain in the race.
He has acted as he believed right and
his independent courage cannot help but
add to the host Of friends and we'll wish
ers which he already has.

BABY PLAINTIFF
IN ACTION FOR
HEAVY DAMAGES,

A three months old baby was
the plaintiff in a $4,000 damage
suit filed in superior court yester-
dav afternoon. while her father was
plaintiff in another suit asking
SO. 600 because of injuries to the
child, suffered the day she was
born.
In the suit listing Naomi Hasui,
three-months old child, as plain
tiff. the father acts as guardian for
the purpose of the action. He is
K. T. Easui. Defendants are the
e Centro hospital and Marthe
Blair Rose. a nurse.
Severe burns suffered by the
child a few hours after she was
born were recited in both actions
as cause for damages. The child
was born at 5:45 in the afternoon,
March 10, the complaint said.
The nurse took the baby to a
separate room. placed her in a crib.
The back, hips and side of the in
FAINT were placed in contact with a
hot water bottle of extremely high
temperature, the complaint said,
causing burns to the flesh over
many SQUARE inches and leaving
permanent disfiguring scars. The
child remained at the hospital two
months for treatment.
III the fathers complaint it is
charged that the burns caused a
permanent loss of earning capacity.
In addition to $4,000 damages, the
father asked $3.50 expended on med
ical treatment. Don c. Bitter, at
toruey. prepared both complaints.

Greeter Cav, in a nice way, of
course, suggests that it would be
appreciated If the notable says a
kind word for Chicago when he
meets the newspapermen.
Greeter Cav escorted William G.
McAdoo from the air field to his
hotel. He told him everything
about Chicago but he forgot the
Field museum. McAdoo had to ask
him what that was.
MoAdoo came in his own air
plane, fine Lockheed-Vega which
was SO fast that he had to slow
down to avoid getting here too
early. Mrs. McAdoo didn't accom-
pany him. She will come by train.
She finds airplanes uncomfortable.
Il certainly wished l was
director-general of railroads again"
said McAdoo last evening, while [
was sleeping or trying to sleep III
Cheyenne, Wyo., Tuesday night
There were a number of loco
motives in the railroad yards and
the engineers just turned on the
automatic bell ringers and let them
ring. 1t was a terrific din all
night long.
When I was director-general OF
railroads I told them not to ring
bells unnecessarily in cities and ]
wished that could do it again. 3"

TWO POCKETS OR DIE

THE Brawley News is up in arms
L against the merchants of that city
who are selling shirts equipped with only
one pocket, to the men.
Here is a cause that certainly merits
an unrelenting campaign by the newspa-
per. There is only one crime greater
than selling an Imperial Valley summer
dweller a shirt with but one pocket, and
that is to sell him one with no pockets.
There have been such heinous crimes
committed here, and it is wonder that
some merchant hasn't been found dang
ling from pepper tree.
Poor man gets the tough part of it
here at this season of the year. The
ladies, somehow or other, have figured
of GOODNESS. There is very little differ
ence in the attire of men between the
time they first shed their coats and the
real hot days of midsummer.
We are bunch of cringing, sniveling
towards or we would have adopted
shorts a long time ago On second
thought, perhaps it is better that we are
towards, for some of the shanks that
would be exposed in shorts are better
left to the imagination than the reality.
Getting back to the one-pocket shirt,
it is an atrocity designed by a nincom-
poop and worn only by the same species.
1t is lopsided, not bit stylish, and about
as attractive looking as wearing a mon
ocle. 1t forces the wearer to carry Gig
arettes, pipe, tobacco, pens, pencils and
miscellaneous paraphernalia in the hip
pockets-with disastrous results.
We can readily sympathize with the
Brawleyites and hope they will carry
the war to a finish. In the meantime,
the good offices of Ell Centro merchants
are extended to them. Down here the
stores carry a full line of two pocket
shirts and our merchants would just as
soon sell a customer a strand of barbed
wire for necktie as try to palm off
one pocket shirt on him.

CHICAGO, June %. - Chicago
has an official greeter who meets
notables at trains and escorts them
to their hotels. He calls himself
Greeter Cav.
It's quite worth while TO ride
with Greeter Cav and a notable
The greeter escorts the notable
from the station or the air field to
his hotel. He has big white auto
mobile and is conducted through
traffic lights and on the wrong
side of street cars by two outriders,
motorcycle policemen on white
motorcycles. The policemen wear
white uniforms. Greeter Cav wears
white.
Chicago has upmteen miles of
paved roads," Greeter Cav eX-
pounds into the ear of the notables
1T has upmty- -umpty hectares Of
parks"
The notable listens and pretty
soon Greeter Cav, being we'll
trained in the art of greeting, stops
talking about Chicago and lets the
notable say something.
Sorry, sir" he finally interrupts,
"but it is necessary for me to tell
you at this point that Chicago has
more miles of fresh water beach
than any city of its size in I'LL
nois?" or something like that.
BY the time he gets the notable
to his hotel, Greeter Cav has told
him about all there is to know on
the credit side of Chicago's ledger.
He has taken him by the most at
tractive route, through parks and
past the finest homes.

UNCLE WIGGTLY's PICNIC

One day Uncie W-ggily came
down stairs early in his hollow
stump bungalow while his bunny
boys and girls were eating break
fast and he began counting their
pink, twinkling noses. which were
just like his own, only smaller.
why are you doing that?" asked
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy who was
hopping in and out from the kitchen
bringing dish after dish of carrot
oatmeal and candy eggs. why are
you counting noses?"
Il want to see how many little
rabbits I have" said the daddy
bunny. You see, I never can re-
member whether I have forty leven
sixteen or thirteen or twenty-one. 90
What difference does it make?'
asked his wife. They are all here.
anyhow Why do you count them?'
She looked at her husband funny
like.
Il want to see how many chill
dren am going to have on my
picnic answered Uncle Wiggily.
"Picnic?' exclaimed Nurse Jane.
"Picnic!" gaSped Mrs. Longears.
"PICNIC!" shouted all the little
rabbit boys and girls. What PIC
MIC, DADDICUdS?" And Baby
Bunty, the little orphan rabbit
asked:
May I come, Unkie Wig?"
"Of course you may" he an
swered. "All of you are invited"
he went on, waving a paw at his
wife, at Nurse Jane and all the
bunny boys and girls. And 1 am
going to invite all your friends,
the ducks, the chickens, the pus-
sizes, puppies, guinea pigs, fat pigs
and gold fish,
"Oh, how lovely" said Baby
Bunty.
When are we going to have the
picnic?" asked Jingle.
And where it is going to be
