MESSAGE FROM
RADIO STATION

First message dispatched over
the Junior college radio station
was sent out yesterday for Gov
James Rolph, jr,, extending his
greetings from the Imperial
County Fair to the members of the
state office in Sacramento.
Central high school and junior
college have turned over their
space at the fair TO the radio de-
partment of the junior college,
who, with the cooperation of the
United States naval reserves in
the valley, have erected an amateur
broadcasting station at the en-
trance to the exhibits hall.
Here messages are being sent
free of charge to all parts of the
country by the amateur operators
in charge. The station is a men,
ber of the American relay league
and will relay messages anywhere.
On the walls of the booth are
cards from all over the world
which represent "hams" with
the local junior college students
and the naval reserves have ac-
tually been in contact. Stations in
Chile, Japan, the Hawaiian
islands are among those repre-
Sented.

UNITED Press

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. = The
history of most well-seasoned coun-
tries is interviewer with the annals
of its prominent families. America
is now reaching the age where
some of its clans can trace his
torical events through family
memories.
Three quarters of century ago
Commodore Perry opened Japan to
western trade. When Mrs. Joseph
Clark Grew reaches Toxic with
her husband, whom President
Hoover has named ambassador to
Japan, a cycle of family history
will be completed. For the COM
modore was her grandfather.
Old memories, too, will be
awakened in the mind of the am
bassador in Toxic. There he will
find as his British colleague Sir
Ronald Lindley. The two began
their diplomatic careers together
nearly three decades ago in Cairo,
| Egypt
Grew, incidentally, is one of the
most interesting and colorful fig
| ures in modern diplomacy. Mas
| sive, dark haired, easy of manner
and calm in judgment, he has
| moved through a life filled with
international conferences, on one
extreme, and such adventurous
sports as big game hunting and
skiing on the other.
1t was just 80 years ago that
Grew finished Harvard and started
out to see the world. He wound up
presently in China where he was
enjoying the mild sport of tiger
stalking. Taken i'll of a fever. he
was nursed to health by an Ameri-
can consul, who interested him in
the diplomatic service. Since 1927
he has been ambassador to Turkey.
Interspersed among the years
Grew has spent in the worlds
capitals were several years OF serv-
ice in the state department. From
1924 to 1927 he was undersecretary
OF state. Once he was chairman of
the foreign service personnel
board-and thereby hangs a tale.
Grey was examining a hopeful
but agitated candidate for the for
eign service
What is nitrate?" ne asked.
The young man shifted his feet
and looked at the ceiling. Grew
thought he had not understood the
question.
What is nitrate?" he repeated.
Il don't exactly know the boy
stammered, but I think they are
cheaper than day rates"

TWO GOVERNORS
ARE GUESTS OF
VALLEY PIONEERS

Over a hundred pioneers OF I'M
perial Valley, and more who were
not pioneers except in spirit, gath
cred at the Planters hotel in BraW
ley last night to greet Governor
James Rolph, jr., and Governor
Agustin Olachea of the Northern
District of Lower California.
With w. H. Edgar, president of
the Imperial Valley Pioneers, act
ing as toastmaster, the pioneers had
a most enjoyable evening, not only
in greeting the distinguished guests,
but in having an opportunity to
visit with old-time friends.
Speaking in behalf of Governor
Olachea, who is not fully convers-
ant with the English language, At
torney Manuel Savinon of San Di-
ego, who is informally attached to
the governors staff, made a bril-
liant address, in advocating closer
ties of friendship between Mexico
and the United States and between
Lower and Alta California.
The attorney paid high tribute to
Governor Rolph and the American
people, pointing out the close bonds
which must always connect Cali
fornia and Mexico, as the latter
was first settled by men of Mexican
and Spanish blood, who braved the
wilderness to found an empire.
In reponse to his address Cover
nor Rolph recounted the history of
California, going back to the days
of the early explorers and recount
ing the various highlights in the
course of the states development.
| He paid splendid tribute to the
spirit of the pioneer, those who
founded the state and those who
settled Imperial Valley. The gov
ernor asserted there is something in
the air of Imperial Valley which
bespeaks friendliness and expressed
the hope that he can visit here
soon again.
Short talks were made by several
members of the Pioneers, and in
formal receptions were held by both
govrnorS before and after the din
ner.
In parting from Governor Ola
chea, Governor Rolph gave him the
"embracio" and those who witnessed
1T could not doubt the sincerity of
the cordiality between the two men
and through them reflected in their
respective fellow citizens.
The dinner served by Manager
Richmond of the Tianters was par
ticularly appropriate, being entirely
OF Imperial Valley products with
the exception of the coffee, which
one diner said could be grown here
too but we have think of the
Brazilians and give them something
to raise.

Baby Doomed To
Remain An Idiot

NEW YORK, Feb. TO- (U.P)-Baby
Diana Moore's "1000-to-l chance
for sanity" was wiped out today as
noted surgeons said there is no
hope for her to be other than an
idiot.
They examined the 13-month-old
child when her mother, Mrs. Lillian
Moore, 10, demanded a sanity or
death operation for it.
THE child is microcepholix," an
official statement by the neurolog-
ical center said "She had a con-
genitally undeveloped brain and
nervous system. She cannot be
benefited by any surgical pro-
cedure."
Mrs. Moore took her child back
home today. She said she would spend
her life trying to teach the child
to use its arms and legs properly,
function its brain ailment now
prevents.

RADIO BRINGS
DOWNFALL OF
AUTO THIEVES

Radio is a wonderful invention,
all right, but sometimes it is q
darned nuisance.
So might George Whitaker, 81:
P. c. Manring, 80, and Glenn Lem
back. AZ, be musing as they rest
in their county jail cells today
awaiting arrival of Los Angeles
officers.
For it was radio which caused
their arrest by Calexico police this
morning on a charge of grand
theft, and it was the unhappy-for
them - coincidence that L. l..
Cochran, Westmorland constable,
happened to be listening to his
radio last night which was the di-
rect cause of their downfall.
Cochran had tuned in on the
Los Angeles police radio station
when he heard a description OF q
stolen car broadcast. He remem-
bered seeing the car short time
before parked in front of q West
morland service station.
The constable telephoned the
sheriff's office in FL Centre, but no
notice of the stolen car had been
received here. Officers wired To
Los Angeles for confirmation OF the
report, and then telephoned 70
various Imperial Valley towns
description of the car.
This morning Whitaker and
Manring, who said they were
studio carpenters for Paramount,
and Leinbach, who described him
self as a bartender were arrested
by Calexico police None OF the
men had any money. The car was
recovered.

Your Health
And Diet
By LOGAN CLENDENING, M. D.

BY LOGAN CLENDEN1NG' M: ~
The first thing to note about
the pain of the neurotic head
ache is that 1t is not a pain at
all. The possessor Of a neurotic
headache will correct you if you
refer to it as a pain. It is a
pressure or a throbbing; 1T
feels as if my head were in
vise:;" d feeling of lightness or
heaviness or fullness, as If a
foreign body were inside the
head, liquid, solid, loose or
fixed; but never a pain.
Sometimes it is a veil or
screen or cloud which prevents
all intellectual activity. -
Then the nerotic headache is
likely to be in a very definite
place-"at the base of the
brain" is favorite spot.
These neurotic headaches are
very useful things. They save
the owner nearly all Lne ulS-
agreeable things in life. Dear
Aunt Sabetha: We would love
to have you visit us this spring
but my headaches have been so
bad lately that fear you would
not enjoy yourself" There is
your friendly neurotic headache.
Or, SCI simply can't> go to
church this morning; my head
is nearly killing me-"
If a young person finds out
the value Of having headache
look out for him. Johnny
strained his eyes studying and
he won't be able to take the
arithmetic examination; his
head aches every time he opens
a book"
Strained eyes and the result
ing headache often mean merely
a neurosiS; such a habit as that
in Johnny is a very bad one to
encourage.

SHOPPING rotlo1e% rS' Sui

OF course, you're getting a
suit this spring-there can't be
any question. But when it
comes to m. king a choice we're
all faced with the problem of
what type Of suit to buy and
how formal or informal it
should be.
If you expect to wear your
suit to church anu luncheonS
and dressed up affairs. you'd
probably want one that's fur
trimmed. But if lou want a
suit that's suitable for general
wear-no matter where you are
or where you're going or what
you're planning to do a tailored
model would be just the thing.
Especially this spring when
Fashions concentrating on tail
ored things SO strongly!
Not All Mannish
You've seen those mannish
double-breasted suits with
notched revers, that all the
stores are showing. They're
very smart, but don't overlook
the fact that there are other
tailored types in fashion, too!
And of all the ones we've seen,
we selected three that are par
ticularly individual to illustrate
above. it so happens that in
each case a scarf is mainly re-
sponsible for the individualiz-
ing.
Sore Throat Scarfs
The jacket suit on the left
has a plaid taffeta scarf that
wraps around your tonsils-in
the new Sorethroat fashion and
ties in a bow under your earl
It's entirely separate and can
be left at home. But it really
makes the suit! And besides, it
matches the blouse that's under
the jacket.
It's an adorable blouse, too,
with a row of buttons extend
ing from the high neckline to
the side seams. And the clos
ing effect and other edges are
all scalloped.
Interest Elsewhere
There's a wide detachable
girdle on the skirt that turns
it into one Of those new built
up types, whenever you wear it.
The Jackets very trig, too, with
it's wide pointed revers and
slash pockets, And the seams
instead of being flat and or
NAL are corded as if they were
done with a string inside.
Maybe they are, for all we
know. At any rate, it's a grand
suit and the fabric used Is
most distinctive. It's q mono
