WAR POT SIZZLING

WHILE the United States is occupied
" with attempts TO recover from its
economic slump and efforts to put its
house in order, the dogs of war in Eur
ope are swapping and growing at each
other, with a terrible possibility that
the weak leashes holding them may be
snapped at any moment, sending sever
al nations into active combat again.
1t is pretty much the same old line
up Of the Allies against the Central
Powers, with France heading the for
mer and Germany taking the lead for
the latter.
The rise of Hitler and Fascism in
Germany may not be the chief factor
in the present uneasiness. but it is GER
tainly one of the most important con-
tributing factors. Already the flag of
the republic has been replaced by the
old imperial standard, the Nazis, real
izing they have the upper hand, are
drilling and hoping to arm, drunk withI
the same old idea that inspired the
German war machine of 1914.
France, in a high fever over German
activity, and fear that the impending
visit of Hitler with Mussolini may see
Italy aligned against her, is flirting
with Poland hoping that nation can
keep Germany so disturbed that it will
lessen her effectiveness against France,
in case war does come.
Mussolini is conceded to hold the bal
ance of power. Whether he will be sat
isfied with the splendid progress Italy
has made in the last 15 years, or will be
consumed with ambition to make her the
strongest nation in Europe, remains to
be seen.
Austria, bitter over her world war
experiences and the subsequent cutting
up of her territory, is in the position of
a man who has everything to gain and
little or nothing to lose on a gambling
chance.
England, sober and calm enough to
realize what another war would mean,
would like to keep peace among the ma
tions but may be unable to do so Pre-
mier Macdonald is to visit Mussolini
this week, and on their conference may
rest the safety to Europe. If they can
get together, peace may continue. II
they fail-nobody knows what may be
expected.
Troops are reported being moved to
strategic positions by several nations.
One can hardly be classed as an alarm
ist in saying that the situation is eX-
tremely dangerous. The war pot is
bubbling. Only the future can tell wheth-
er or not it will boil over.
What of the United States? Come
what may we want no part in Europe's
war; We had one distasteful dose OF
that and it should serve US for many
year.

BEDTIME STORIES
BY HOWARD E. GARRIS
Copyright 1892 by Mcclure Newspaper syndicste)

"Ha Ha! Hal" laughed the Wolf.
"Yes, Hal Ha! and a couple of
Ho! Ho! cheers" snickered the Bob
Cat. Just hide and watch what 1
do when Uncle Wiggily comes out"
So the Fox and the Wolf hid in
the bushes and the Bob Cat took
his place near the front door of the
Hollow Stump School ready to
catch the rabbit gentleman as soon
as he came out.
But now let us see why Uncle
Wiggily went to school. 1t wasn't
to learn any lessons as the Bob Cat
had said, though Mr.. Longears was
always ready to learn. He did not
think he knew it all. So when he
hoped into school the Lady Mouse
Teacher was just hearing Baby
Bunty, the orphan rabbit, recite
her gnawing lesson. And Bunty did
very well.
"Oh, welcome to our school, I'm
Gle Wiggily" squeaked the Lady
Mouse. I'VE are SO glad you came
Do you want the animal children
to sing?"
"Some other time," spoke Mr..
Longears, twinkling his pink nose.
Il came to ask you if you would
let the children out of school?"
Let the children out of school
in the middle of the day?" squeak
ed Miss Mouse. Whatever for, if
may ask?"
Il want to take them to the
woods where I am going to make a
sugar camp" said Uncle Wiggily.
"I think they may learn as much
at my woodland sugar camp as
they might in school. I mean a
different sort of lesson. Will you let
them come and come, yourself,
with them?"
Eyes, I will" said Miss Mouse.
"Get ready, children! We are going
to Uncle Wiggily's sugar camp!"
"And there" said Mr.. Longears,
Il will teach them how we make
maple wax and maple sugar from
the sweet sap juice of trees!"
"Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!"
shouted the animal boys and girls.
With the Lady Mouse Teacher they
all rushed out of school and they
crowded around the bunny uncle

take a citizen across town for 20
cents.
They want congress to raise the
rates. The citizens want the rates
kept down. And most Of the con-
gressional leaders interested in
municipal affairs want the drivers
to buy liability insurance.
Another faction wants meters
installed in all the cabs. The driy-
ers say that a good meter would
cost more than the car in which
it would be used. The taxicab ac-
cident rate, meantime, is increas-
ing rapidly, in geometric PROCESSION
with the number of new cabs reg
istered daily.
All of which leaves congress with
a legal jig saw puzzle as compli-
Gated almost as the entire foreign
debt question.
President Hoover made mistake
the other day when he cemented
the cornerstone of the new Archives
building with these words:
"Tnere will be aggregated here
the most sacred documents of our
history, the originals of the Declars
alton of Independence and of the
Constitution of the United States" !"
1t develops that both documents
are in the library of congress, where
they are going to stay, according
TO Dr. j. Franklin Jameson, unless
congress changes the law
Tradition has it that the Declar-
alton and the Constitution must be
kept where citizens may see them
and where they may be a contin-
ual inspiration to those who be-
lieve in life, Liberty and the Pur-
suit of Happiness"
They were moved from the state
department, therefore, during the
administration of President Cool
idge and enshrined in the congress
sional library.

WOMEN ARE
PLEASED WITH
VALLEY VISIT

Among visitors at the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce recently
were Mrs. Ralph Shaffer of Taco
ma, Wash, and Mrs. Ogden M. Ed
wards, of Walnut Hall, Donerail,
Ky. Mrs. Shaffer, wife of the pres
ident of the chamber of commerce
at Tacoma, came to the valley sew
eral weeks ago for her health and
states that she found this climate
SO favorable that she horeS to
spend the entire winter here next
year.
Mrs. Edwards, daughter of Ed
ward Hardness prominent eastern
financier, has spent four days in
Ell Centre, accompanied by her
daughter and a friend and by Mary
Wheeler Vinton. prominent San
Diego woman who was publicity di-
rector of the women's campaign for
repeal of the Volstead act. Dur
ing her stay in this city Mrs. Ed
wards and narty have taken sever
al trips to scenic points of inter-
est on the desert under the direc-
ton of Henry A. Harris of the Eng
'ish Village Inn and have visited
irrigated areas.
In commenting on her visit Mrs.
Edwards stated, ct. have been par
tlcularly interested in the irriga-
ton system and the production of
Imperial Valley. Because of per-
sonal interest in a large estate in
kentucky, this phase of Imperial
Valley activity has been of decided
interest to me. We found the des-
ert extremely fascinating and, al
though none Of our party has ever
before visited a. desert country, I
think its beauty and charm will
draw us back and that we will find
it possible to return to Ell Centro

JUST IDLE GOSSIP

IL WAS the intention of this publication
to pay no heed whatsoever to vile and
utterly false rumors regarding the only
living eX-President of the United States
which have been heard here from time to
time during the past two weeks.
An attempt to show up such rumors
in their true light was made last week
IN brief paragraph ridiculing them in
such fashion that it was hoped persons
of intelligence would catch the point and
pay no heed to the wild gossip
Since the first of this week. however,
The Press has been asked several times,
by visitors and over the telephone re-
garding the report that Mr.. Hoover was
being detained in New York by the gov
ernment.
Several of the inQuirers asserted they
had heard the report over the radio, or
knew someone who had That may be
true. Last week radio listeners heard of
several thousand being killed in Long
Beach, of a tidal wave in San Diego, that
similar wave was responsible for enor-
nous loss of life at Long Beach and that
the entire shore line along Palos Verde
had slipped into the sea.
What disordered mind gave birth to
the rumors about Mr.. Hoover, it is i'm
POooAOlO
ever, without fear of contradiction that
they are completely false, unfounded
and ridiculous. 1t might be added that
they are unnecessarily cruel, except that
Mr.. Hoover's character is such that it
cannot be injured by the poisonous
tongues of gossips.
1t might be assumed that the rumors
had their origin in the fact that the for
mer President went on to New York af-
ter the Inauguration of his successor,
while Mrs. Hoover returned Immediately
to their home in this state.
Why shouldn't he? For four years he
had to ignore his personal affairs. 1t
was perfectly natural that he should
give them some attention as soon as he
was at liberty to do so. He has been do
ing this and nothing more, during his
stay in New York.
His most implacable political enemy
never had the temerity to cast shadow
upon Mr.. Hoovers integrity or personal
honor 1t is indeed strange that those
who know little or nothing about the
man, should do SO.

NEW YORK, Dec. 5 G.N.S0.
Business has steadied after the
prolonged decline from the July
peak, and purchasing power con-
tinues to swell, due to public
works expenditures, but large
trade expansion in the immediate
future should not be expected, the
National City Bank declares in it's
November review.
Increased purchasing power has
been created in sufficient volume
to prevent business dropping into
the depths again, and will, more
over, provide the stimulus for a
spring rise, the bank says.
Among the other favorable fac
tors cited are stable steel opera.

tracts, the turn for the better in
textile and apparel industries,
little change in employment and
larger farm purchasing power as
reflected in mail-order sales.

Commodities were stronger with
stocks.
Utilities alone were neglected as
traders bought stocks for the rise
from the opening gong. The power
and light issues were firmed by
the strength in the rest of the
list but price changes were small.
Chemicals gave the best Icr-
formance, stimulated by a squirt
of more than points in allied
chemical to a new high for the
year. Dupont also hit new 1888
peak.
Traffic Reports Aid Rails
Better than expected individual
car loadings reports aided the rail
shares which under the lead of
N. Y. Central and Atchison scored
fractional gains. Expections of an
increased Atchison preferred divi-
dend also was a factor. Utility
shares were quiet and steady.
