Advice To
LoveIorn
BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX

"Why are widows conscience
less cats?" demands Elsie B., in
a letter that fairly bristles with
protest. Why indeed?
But are they? I have known
plenty that were everything
that is estimable.
However, Elsie is unbelieving
because she has had a painful
experience with one widow, and
at this stage Of her exaspera-
tion it is useless to remind her
that one constituencies widow
does not make a vampish sister,
hood, any more than one lone
swallow makes a summer. She
writes me that as a class widows
have no code.
It seems that this young lady
was on the point of becoming
engaged to the dearest boy"
when he fell into the clutches
of a widow, who is now dis
playing a sparkler on the third
finger of her left hand, and
Elsie asks:
do women who have been
married once feel no obligation
to play fair in attracting men?"
Now the unscrupulous, man.
devouring type of widow does
not happen to have come under
my observation. But it may be
she exists. A surprising num-
ber of my correspondents sem
to think so.
We all know, of course, that
many widows, and even more
WidowerS, wish to remarry;
which is, by the way, an ex-
tremely flattering testimony to
the desirability of the welded
state.
It is quite likely that a lonely
young widow, encountering a
man she could love, has more
courage and initiative in put
ting over her idea than a girl
would have. The fact that she
has been chosen once as a
mans lifelong mate gives her
confidence, and her experience
of marriage has convinced her
that she knows all men. Why,
then, she probably argues,
should she sit demurely in a
corner, waiting, like the old
fashioned spinster, for the man
to make a formal declaration?
Why not, rather, help the
poor tongue.tied creature to
make up his mind? And if
there is an Elsie in the fore
ground, as in the case of my
young correspondent, the more
skillful technique of the older
and more experienced woman
may make the young girl seem
flat and insipid. At least that
is what many young girls who
write to me say: II was no
match for her, Miss Fairfax"
Perhaps the best advice I
can give to these young girls,
who have been complaining to
me of late that good-looking
young widows have been steal
ing the show and their man as
well, is: Don't start a feud
with this capable and knowing
sisterhood. On the contrary, be
very nice to them, while you
observe their methods"
Cross-question yourself about
these ladies. Is their talk in
teresting? Do they dress be-
comingly? Are they clever at
organizing good times? Are
they sympathetic listeners? Can
they turn out a good meal
quickly?
One thing is certain. They
never sit around in corners mop
ing, feeling sorry for them
selves, and inwardly complain.
ing that the fun has passed
them by. These ladies made
their own fun.

With his hat pulled tightly
down on his head, Mulrooney
left the house. From her bed
room window upstairs, Leni saw
him leave. He looked a great
deal like a maddened bull ready
to charge the first object that
crossed his path.
Leni, ordinarily, had no tele-
phone in her bedroom, but oc-
casionally she had Celeste con-
meet up an extension with 25-
foot cord which was plugged in
downstairs. 1t was quite pos
sible that Cavanaugh would
phone her, and she had Celeste
bring in the portable French
phone. This accomplished there
was nothing to do but wait.
Lucky had asked her not to
worry. Well-that was per-
fectly sound advice. What had
worry ever accomplished for
anybody?
One Danger
There was nothing sensible
to do except to keep calm and
keep her heart up. The years
to come could not possibly be
as hard as those behind her.
No sooner had one danger been
over than a new one had taken
its place. It had been like
those hurdle races where final
ly they run smoothly to the
finish on a level stretch. Life,
very probably. was like that
near the finish.
Only one danger remained.
Only one danger and one de-
sire! It was possible for ma
liciouS destiny to rob her Of
Lucky Cavanaugh.
She sat down at her dressing
table, resting her elbows upon
it and cupped her face in her
two warm palms. What a strange
life I've led, she thought, look
ing into the glass. There is no
one else on earth like me. I
have been at the bottom and
at the top. It's queer about
life. Now-right now-it's end
Ing or beginning. I don't know
which.
A sound in the room startled
her. The movement of a door.
Leni stopped breathing. Some
thing, suddenly, was going to
happen.
Leni closed her eyes for
minute.
Then she opened them and
looked into the mirror that
was so close to her face. Over
her shoulder on the far side of
the room a closet door was
slowly opening. 1t opened
wide and out of tie shadowry
recess beyond stepped the ia
miliar figure of Lucky CaVa"
naugh.
"The safest place I could
find in a hurry" he said with
q smile.
She was conscious only of a
trembling delight.
"It's all in a lifetime" Lucky
said in the unruffled manner
she loved. "Are you glad to
see me?"
Leni rose without taking her
eyes off him, and went into
his arms.
"Am I glad to see you? My
darling!" she took a deep
breath. Darling, darling, dar.
ling!"
Don't Worry
Her sensation that life was
a dream continued. Events
like this would not really hap
pen to people in their waking

Suicide Theory
In Coast Case

SAN PEDRO, May 81. W.H-Be-
lieved by investigating officers to
have committed suicide, the body
of Charles Garvey, "a, Los Angeles,
was sought by coast guard vessels
in the Catalina channel today fol-
lowing his disappearance from the
cruiser "Sandy" midway between
Avalon and San Pedro.
The SANDY, owned by j. Leo
Meehan of Bel-Air, took a party
of four men and four women to
Catalina Island last Saturday.
Yesterday, according to Capt. Hi
Forgerom, Garvey joined the party
for the return trip.
With Miss Helen Wrathral of
Huntington Park, he was making
his way forward to the cabin, ac-
cording to Miss Wrathral IS story to
Deputy Sheriff G.. G. Blasdel, when
she heard splash and found Gar
vey had disappeared.
Although other members Of the
party said Garvey had not appear
ed respondent, the fact that he was
a powerful swimmer was taken by
Blasdel to indicate suicide. The
boat circled the spot for some time
without finding trace of his body.

HEL|UM
FOR FREEZING.

PASADENA, Calf, May 81. ,;U.P}
The use of heliuln, said to be one
of the most inert forms of matter
known, to freeze all sorts OF gases,
was reported at the California In
stitute of Technology today.
This scientific development is
the work of DR.. Alexander Goetz
who desired to find a simple, mex
pensive way TO get as close as pos
Sible to absolute zero.
Dr.. Goetz used frozen air and
liquid hydrogen to liquify helium.
He was successful when a tempera-
ture some 366 degrees Fahrenheit
lower than the lowest known out
door temperature was reached.
Siberia is considered the earth's
coldest spot, with a recorded out
door temperature of SO degrees be-
low Fahrenheit zero.
Goetz used a coil of lead as a
thermometer. The thermometer lost
all its resistance to electricity in
the rarified temperatures.

BY FRANK A. BEYSCHLAG
Imperial County Farm Advisor

BY order of B. H. Crocheron, di-
rector of the agricultural extension
service, all of the farm advisors OF
California met in conference at
Berkeley, Monday, May 20, with
Willard D. Ellis, president, and
Walter G. Dean, secretary of the
Federal Land Bank Of Berkeley,
Hatch, chief appraiser, and William
H. Woolf, the newly appointed farm
loan commissioner IS agent for this
district.
1t was brought out that federal
land bank loans are not govern
ment loans. The funds which the
land banks loan are not provided
by the government, but by the
banks sale of bonds to the invest
ing public. The loan commission
er's loans, however, are govern
ment loans since they are made
from money appropriated by con-
gress.
Since the attitude of the federal
land bank is just as much opposed
to making loans in Imperial VAL
ley under the terms of the emer-
gency farm mortgage act as before,
the writer asked Ellis what the
valley might do to get the benefit

White House Issues Bristling Denial That

was named by the White House as
executive officer of the delegation.
Has Double Object
The United States will press at
London for two things principally:
Stabili2ation of currencies, whose
fluctuations now hamper world
trade; and lowering of tariffs, i'm
port restrictions and other SINH
lar commercial barriers.
Reports in New York newspapers
yesterday regarding the debts drew
one of the most briStling denialS
ever issued by the White House.
The reports were to the effect that
the President would accept partial
payments on June Is and that he
had decided to go ahead and revise
the debts without consulting con-
gress.
The following denial was made
by Stephen Early, secretary TO the
President:
"Press reports stating that the
President will use his treaty-making
powers to adjust the World war
debts or would permit partial pay
ments on the principal or amounts
in default are pure speculation, with

of these loans. The reply in effect
was that Imperial Valley would
have to show that it has a safe
loan value over and above present
fixed charges, and that it can re-
pay out of earnings on the land
any loan plus the fixed charges.
Regarding the direct government
loans which are limited TO $4,000 to
an individual and which accept
first as well as second mortgages
as security, statement from the
loan commissioner S agent William
H. Woolf, among other limitations
reads: "Loans by the farm loan
commissioner will not be made in
b o n d e d irrigation, reclamation,
drainage, etc., districts which are
in default This regulation came
from Washington.
In conversation with Ellis regard
ing the inability of the loan COM
missioner S agent to make loans in
Imperial Valley, according to the
above statement Ellis suggested:
That the farm bureau send one or
more applications direct to the
farm loan commissioner at Wash
ington together with a statement
presenting the case of Imperial
Valley in a reasonable manner, thus
to attempt to get a ruling in our
favor from Washington.

of the act which authorizes direct
loans by the bank to farmers in
districts whose National Farm Loan
association cannot apply for loans,
does not apply to those districts In
which the federal land bank has
regulated that it will not make
loans.
A constructive possibility for I'M
perial Valley, however, was brought
out by Ellis, namely that Sections
SO. 81, and 38, of the act provide
$50, 100000 to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to be loaned
to irrigation and other agricultur-
al districts for the purpose of re-
ducing or refinancing their out
standing Indebtedness. Ellis fur
ther indicated that refinancing by
this or other means is one of the
steps which the valley might take
to gain consideration on loans from
the federal land bank. Other
steps include assurance that the
valleys bonded debt would not be
increased and that a
competent drainage survey be made
of the valley. At the conference it
was brought out that the bank has
maps of other sections delineating
from which districts it will and will
not consider loans. In Tulare
county for instance this map is
based upon the depth from which
ranchers must pump irrigation wat
er and whether or not these water
levels are falling. Presumably a
drainage survey of Imperial Valley
might be used for similar pur-
pose of designating which portions
OF the valley the bank felt to be
safe and unsafe for loans.
