KEEP THE TOURIST TRADE

EAR ahead Of all entry ports on Cali
fornia's boundaries, is the record set
at Fit Yuma during 1882, for the total
of cars and passengers entering this
state
Records compiled by the state depart
ment of agriculture show that 1928
cars entered the state at that point dur
ing 1882, bringing with them total OF
398,879 passengers. There were also,
1896 foreign" cars-from other states.
Other Southern California points re-
ported as follows: Blythe, 24,2SO cars
and 62,660 passengers; Daggett, 36,7I2
cars and 1887 passengers; Yermo,
67,581 cars and 1895 passengers.
On the California-Orego line, Horn
brook was the high point with lO2,321
cars and 278,894 passengers. The Cali
fornia-Nevada line honors went to
Truckee, with 6S.896 cars and 186,oS1
passengers.
The Yuma figures indicate the popu-
larity of the 'all year round route" en-
tering California from the east. The
figures mean, moreover, that all these
cars and passengers entered Imperial
Valley How much money the passen-
gers spent here must at best be guess
work, but that they spent considerable
amount, cannot be denied.
1t is up to Imperial Valley to do
everything possible to maintain the pop
ularity of the southern route. The
Phoenix-Blythe route is big threat TO
this tourist business that now comes to
Imperial Valley.
The Ell Centric Chamber of Commerce
and other valley organizations, realize
the danger that threatens this tourist
trade and are working actively to COM
bat the opposition. In this they should
have the full support of the entire val
ley for the entire valley shares In the
money that the tourist spends here
San Diego is due for new chief OF
police. It's present one is veteran OF
several months.
These Spartans certainly can PICK
EN- up and lay 'em down"

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH

THE subject matter of President
l Roosevelt's radio address last night,
containing such controversial subjects
as initiation, relations with other coun-
tries, government control of industry,
etc, affords plenty of opportunity for
differences of opinion, not only between
member of opposite political parties,
but an G members of the Presidents
own party.
Whether or not one agrees with the
Roosevelt program, it is to be conceded
that the President gave a good account
CT his two months of service and indi-
Gated ne has the courage of his eonvic-
tions by stating definitely what he pro-
poses to do in the months to come
He gave no opportunity for doubt, his
address being straightforward and to
the point.
The speech, as speech, was most i'm
pressive, and it would do none of our
radio announcers any harm, no matter
how much experience they may have had,
to take a few hints from Mr.. Roosevelt
His diction was we'll nigh perfect and his
infection all that could be desired. He
did not tumble his words, every syllable
being distinctly enunciated.
Whether one agreed with what he was
saying or not, it was pleasure to listen
to him. He was SUCH relief from
those effeminately grooming voices which
tell you that you just must use SEckem,s
grease in order to have your hair look
right, or that by using Speedem's gaso-
line you get that eXhilllllllerating thrill
that can only come from contented en-
CINE whose diet is of the best.
Mr.. Roosevelt had something to say, he
said it well, and then he stopped That
alone should win him loads OF support
ers, even among Republicans.

A N attempt Is to be made to
~ handicap all the golfers in the
II Middle Atlantic territory. Pres
ident Edgar "A. Peppler of the
Middle Atlantic Golf Association has
called meeting of the officers and
Executive Committee members Of the
four associations which govern golf af-
fairs in this territory for April % at
the Columbia Country Club, at which
time the moguls Of the game hereabouts
will discuss golf affairs generally for
this year and will attempt to arrive at
a scheme for a uniform handicapping
system to apply to clubs in Maryland,
Virginia and the District of Columbia.
Invitations have gone out from the
Middle Atlantic Association to the off,
GERS of the District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia State associations to attend the
meeting and play in an informal golf
tournament at Columbia on the after
noon preceding the meeting.
1t is likely that some such system as
the Watson Smith system, now used by
the MARYLAND State association. may
be adopted by the Middle Atlantic or
ganization as the basis for an associa-
tion-wide handicapping method. Un-
der the Watson-Smith scheme two
courses are rated at present as scratch
courses, and the others are given rat
ings based on their general difhculty.
The Five Farms course Of the Maryland
Country Club and the Woodholme
Country Club course Of Baltimore are
the scratch lay-outs
Such courses as Columbia, Congress
sionai and Indian Spring are rated at
