of many millions of years without running the

THEN the wind had swooped from window to
window, bearing this unfinished love letter
out to the smoke bush.
Alice stared down through the glorious vista
of pines at the blue water below-stared long
time.
Can love last like that?" she murmured
Her thoughts raced back over the recent hodi-
day at the shore, encompassing the grave, ador-
ing gaze of Gavin Driscoll whom she had
swum and played about with every day-the

Daddy about. Was Gavin capable of great
devotion such as this letter showed? Was she?
Was any one but Capt. Daddy? More than ever
Alice wished to know why the letters were not
mailed
She strolled toward the old mans bench on
an impulse and found him seated there erectly,
arms precisely folded, eyes forever on the

Conscience twigged her concerning the lost let

had written another and that retaining the
escaped one might aid her in tracing out this
lovable mystery
Capt Daddy, don't be angry will you? I'll
mind my business if you say so; butt wish
you'd confide in me. Tell me why you write SO

NOT THE RIGHT WAY

WHILE it is quite likely that we'll in
w tentioned motives were behind the
start of the 'jObless march which cul-
minated yesterday at the national capi-
tai, the benefits of such demonstrations
are open to considerable debate.
In these times, when distress is so
prevalent, moving an army Of 10000
men about does neither them nor the
communities through which they move,
any particular good.
President Hoover and the congress are
we'll aware of the extent to which un-
employment grips the country and they
do not need the sight of a large body
of unemployed men to prove it to them.
The President told the representatives
of the group that the problems of the
jobless are close to his heart. No mat
ter how much one may differ with Mr..
Hoover's political actions, none can ques-
tion the sincerity of his sympathy for
those who are suffering because they
are unable to get the work which they
want. Even man with heart of stone
would be sorely tried by the knowledge
that thousands are in want. Mr.. HOOv-
er'S experiences with suffering in the
World War were such that the plight
of the poor is particularly distressing
to him.
Presenting the spectacle of thousands
of jobless TO him is not quite fair. He
doesn't need the lesson. A terribly har-
rassed man, perpleXed by the misfor-
tunes which have gripped the country
during his administration, he should be
given every aid in helping to solve the
problems which confront him, instead
of being forced to interrupt his orderly
routine by a cause which he personally
cannot help.
Whatever legislation should be taken
to relieve the needy and the jobless, must
necessarily be the work of congress. 1t
alone has the right to make the laws
and pass legislation.
Hunger marches and kindred activ-
tiles are not the proper channels to Op-
crate through in seeking to aid the job
less. 1t would be better for those or
ganizing or sponsoring them to devote
their activities to their local communi-
ties and lend their aid to reducing the
need that exists among the unemployed,
instead of encouraging men to embark
upon what must necessarily be a useless
waste of time, energy and money.

Few people realize what a serious
disease catarrh really is. Deafness
and head noises that drive the suf-
ferer nearly frantic are frequently
due to this complaint. Unchecked
this disgusting, dangerous ailment
often destroys smell, taste and hear
ing, slowly undermines the general
health. Its neglect may make you
wornout catarrhal wreck.
AS catarrh is a disease of the
blood, the only real relief comes
from treating the blood itself. So
go to Clements or your druggist for
an ounce OF Parmint Double
Strength. Take this horne and
add to it u pint of hot water and
a little sugar. Take a tablespoonful
four times a day. Drive the ca
tarrhal poisons from the system by
treating the Blood, and the disease
itself must vanish. Parmint has
proved successful in so many cases
because it acts directly on the blood
and mucous membrane.
Life will be much more worth liv-
ing if you can breathe freely again.
bear plainly, smell, taste, and arise
in the morning refreshed and
strong, with head and throat free
hom phlegm For your own sake
give Parmint a trial-and with your
whole system crying for relief from
catarrh you should start Parmint
treatment now.

LEM WHITTLES
DOWN LEAD HELD
BY CULBERTSON
BY III. ALLEN SMITH
,ited Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Jan. 8. U.P) -
Maybe you'd call it late start, as
the fellow said when he left at 5
o'clock to catch the o'clock train
but Sidney Lenz and Commander
Winfield Liggett bore down last
night in the Culbertson-Lenz con-
tract bridge scuffle and chopped
54o5 points off Ely Culbertson's
lead.
Culbertson came up smiling but
admitted he had taken a licking.
His statement to the press, how
ever. was succinct They held
the cards." said Ely, they just
held the cards"
Culbertson started the evening
with an importer, Howard Schen-
ken, as partner. And he started
l4,l75 points ahead of Lenz and
Liggett. Schenken just couldn't
stand up under the kibtizers.
After seven rubbers had been
played, with only six more to be
run off tonight to end the con-
test. Ely and Howard found them
selves beaten down to a lead of
9770 points.
! Let us leave the playing room
and tell about the kibitzers. To-
night is the last night Cd and this
correspondent, though his ankles
| are very strong, will wear wooden
shoes. If last evenings session is
a criterion, there will be a Union
Square Communist riot no later
than 9 p. m. tonight.
The kibitzers were led by
Charles M. Schwab who remarked
as he peeked around the Chinese
screen:
Prosperity is just around the
corner"
Next to him stood Grantland
Rice, Judge Joseph Corrigan and
two other supreme court justices
Rube Goldberg, Cyril Tolley and
Damon Runyon.
Would you mind said Runyon
getting off my hoof?'
Whose hoof?" asked Cyril Toll
ley, as though he was replacing q
divot.

Shut up said Runyon, "be-
fore you get put out"
In the press room your cores
pondent was i'll at ease. People in
double wingback collars and claw
hammer coats were amusing them
selves performing handsprings.
The sort of thing went on al
evening. Meantime, hoping u
keep from being crushed to death
your correspondent stepped out oi
the hotel for a bit. When he re-
turned he stepped into an eleya-
tor and said, absent-mindedly:
"Fiye-doubled and redoubled."
The young man pressed a lever
closing the door. Then he went
looney.
"Fivei" he screamed. "Five-five-

down. Up and down"

Janie?"
It don't know, yet. must
think said the muskrat lady. "I
wonder what ever made him bring
it home?'
And he said it was a present
for MEL murmured the bunny
wife of Uncle Wiggily. Such a
present! Oh. you must do some
thing to stop him, Nurse Janel"
Il shalt" promised Miss Fuzzy
WuzZy.
Fran downstairs came many
strange sounds. Wungs and pungs.
and walls and scales and snoots
and toots. For Uncle Wiggily had
brought home a big, curly horn
which he called his tooter. He
pretended, at first, it was a present
for his wife. But when she said
she could not play it, Mr.. Long
ears said he would learn to play
it himself, and make his wife a
present of the music.
But so far nothing like music
had come out of the big end of
the horn, though Mr.. LongearS
had blown with all his might into
the little end. He made such dole
ful sounds that his wife and Nurse
Jane had to leave the room. Then
it was that Nurse Jane said she
would do something to stop the
noise and Mrs. Longears agreed
that this must be done.
After a while Uncle Wiggily him
self grew rather tired of blowing
into his tooter. His cheeks hurt
him and his lips were sore.
But still I am going to keep
at it until learn to play" he said
The book says it is easy to learn
TO play this horn and I love
music. I'll go out for a walk and
when I come back III try it again. ="
Mrs. Longears and Nurse Jane
watched Uncle Wiggily hop from
his bungalow.
"Now's your chance Janie!"
whispered the rabbit lady. DO
something to that dreadful horn.'
q will" exclaimed the muSkrat
lady I'm stuff a bed pillow in
the big end,' she went on. And
when Uncle Wiggily can't get n
sound out of it he'll think it is
I broken and he'll give up trying to
play it and we shall have peace
and quiet
Nurse Jane stuffed the pillow
into the big end of the horn while
Uncle Wiggily was out getting
| some air. When he came in, with
his pink nose quite red from the
cold, he hoped around and said,
Il feel fine now! I can blow
very hard. I'm sure l shall get
| some music out of my tooter
horn" He sat down, took the
horn in his lap and began to blow.
He puffed and ne puffed and he
puffed. He blew and he blew and
he blew harder. For a moment
not a sound came from the horn
and then, all of a sudden the room
was filled with a white cloud like
snow scattering all over.

Uncle Wiggily as one settled on
his nose making him sneeze." A
chicken must have gone to sleep
in my tooter."
Then he looked and saw the
pillow case with some feathers
sticking to it and he knew what
had happened.
"Ha! Ha." he laughed. so they
tried to stop my music by stuffing

Well, blew too hard for them!"
So he tried again to make music

new PETITION
PRESENTED IN
HARLAN'S CASE

A second amended petition for Q
writ OF mandate, filed by George
A. Harlan yesterday afternoon in
his legal battle with members Of
the board of trustees of the Jasper
elementary school district, brought
the case one step nearer hearing by
Judge A. c. Finney January l0.
Filing the second amended petit
ton, Ernest R. Utley incorporated
in it certain allegations technically
required before the petition would
stand a thorough legal inspection.
In support of Harlan's fight to
be restored to the position Of teach
er of the Seventh and Eighth
grades, and principal Of the school,
the petition alleges that Harlan
was principal and teacher OF those
grades during the time since 1924,
and that under the law he is en-
Imperial Valley press., 1932-01-08

titled to remain in the some posi-
tionS.
The petition also alleges Harlan
is entitled to a salary OF $3.50 a
month, and was receiving it until
last year, when the board of trus-
tees attempted to force him to take
$50 a month. This was done, the
petition charges, in an attempt TO
force Harlan 10 resign.
Harlan. by this petition, seeks to
force the board Of trustees of the
Jasper district, consisting Of Yer
non K. Rood, c. w. Anderson and
F. c. Cihak. to issue warrants for
$3.50 a month instead of $3.50 a
month for the present school year,
and to restore him to the position
OF principal and teacher Of the
Seventh and Eighth grades.
In an attempt to force him TO
resign after he had refused to do
so, Harlans petition charged, the
| trustees reduced his salary, re-
moved him as principal and forced
him to teach the Americanization
class.

GOVERNOR, GET BUSY

ANOTHER matter that should be Civ
II en- immediate attention by Governor
Rolph, is this business of having to res
cue parties marooned in the snow in Cal
ifornia.
1t is absolutely un-Californian to have
anything like this happen, especially
when the railroads. hotels and chambers
of commerce up and down the state have
thousands of dollars invested in litera
ture sent back east, telling the benight
ed back there of the states snOWless
winters.
Tales of huge snowdrifts, frozen feet
and people shut off from civilization,
will make great scareheads in the papers
back on the Atlantic coast, particular
ly in the southern part of the Atlantic
coast.
We call upon his excellency as gov
ernor of the state, to get busy. We not
only elect him governor and pay him
a good salary, but we call him Sunny
Jim And in return, he lets Southern
California get snowbound.
Snow is mighty difficult stuff to hide,
otherwise Los Angeles would have hid
den that in its immediate vicinity long
ago.
If California is going to live up to
that literature, it must get rid of the
snow. Of course nobody minds a little
of it away up in the mountains. In fact
is is a good thing, because it makes the
thousands from other states more happy
here during the winter. But getting too
much on is something else again.
Come on Jimmy, the reputation of
your California is at stake and if you
don't do something about it we must eX-
pect much of the Westbound traffic to
be diverted to Florida.
