UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
DOLLS TEETH

AS Uncle Wiggily was sitting on
the stump in the woods, getting
ready to feed Bunty's doll her din
ner, as he had promised the little
orphan rabbit, all of sudden Mr..
Longears heard noise in the
bushes. ~
"Ha! I wonder what that was?'
said the rabbit gentleman to HIM
self. Gould any of the Bad Chaps
have followed me through woods
to get the dolls dinner? I hardly
think that, for all I am going TO
feed Bunty's doll are some crumbs
of bread and cake. Neither the
Fox, the Wolf nor the Bob Cat
would eat those"
Thinking that the noise he heard
might have been made by the wind,
Uncle Wiggily again turned to
Bunty's doll, who would open her
mouth which had shiny white teeth
in it.
81 guess no Bad Chaps will bother
us, Little One," said Uncle Wiggily,
calling the doll that because he
had forgotten to ask Bunty her real

LEGION WILL
BE GUESTS OF
ELKS LODGE

On next Thursday evening the
local Elks lodge will hold a joint
meeting with the American Legion.
All Legionnaires whether they are
Elks or not are cordially invited to
be present at this meeting which is
intended to cement the two organ
izations more firely together.
These two institutions have SO
much in common and their inter-
ests are SO much alike that this
meeting will be of mutual benefit
to both. Meetings OF this kind
have been held in Los Angeles, E.
A. Nance, Jr., secretary of the local
lodge stated, and have been most
successful in promoting good fell
lowship between them. 1t is hoped
that many such meetings may be
held here in the future.
This meeting will be a strictly
stag affair and will start at o.
clock with a dinner served in the
lodge rooms followed by vaude-
vile and smoker. The Boyce Aten
Post drum and bugle corps will be
the guests of honor for the evening
but every member of the post,
whether he belong to the drum
corps or not, is expected to be there
ready to enjoy the dinner and take
part in the funfest that will fol-

NAMING THE Dam

CHANGING Hoover dam back to Boul-
" der dam, as ordered last week by the
secretary of the Interior peeves the Los
Angeles Times considerably. The Times
describes it as exceedingly small-time
stuff.
Many will agree with them, but will
not agree with the further assertion that
the dam is the conception and creation
of the former President or that Herbert
Hoover is the one man who had most to
do with bringing this dam into exist
ence'.
These statements will be surprising to
Imperial Valley residents, for with all
due respect to Mr. Hoover, and while
agreeing with The Times that the change
is an undesirable slap at him, Boulder
dam had its conception right here in I'M
perial Valley and was well-defined pro-
iect in the minds of Imperial Valley
leaders before Mr. Hoover had ever en-
tered national politics.
True, as The Times points out, he was
secretary of the interior during the years
the dam project made its greatest prog
ress. He also is entitled to further credit
for his efforts to bring about an agree
ment between interested states, but The
Times goes too far when it says that un-
der Mr.. Hoover's "skillful hand it be-
came practically.
The Times declares the change is the
result of Senator Hiram Johnson's AMI
mostly toward Mr.. Hoover and in this
it is quite probably right.
Notwithstanding Johnson's detection
from the Republicans ranks last fall,
and other political sins of omission or
commission which may rightly be charged
against him, the fact remains that more
credit is due him for the dam that can
rightly be given to Mr.. Hoover. And
both of them will have to bow to Phil
Swing as the one most justly entitled to
credit for the entire Colorado river de-
velopment project.
Calling the dam Hoover dam, was
nice compliment to Mr., Hoover, the same
as the names bestowed upon Coolidge
and Roosevelt dam were, but if individ-
ual names are to be perpetuated by the
structure, it is more fitting that it should
bear the names of Swing and Johnson.
If these are to be sidestepped, Boulder
dam, even though misnomer as The
Times points out, will probably be as
good as any that could be selected. The
Hoover administration had the right to
bestow the name of its chief on the dam
and the Roosevelt administration is with

after that the doll said: NO

doll opened her mouth and Uncle
Wiggily was just going to feed her

had seen Bunty do when, all of a
sudden, the noise he had first
heard sounded more loudly and ou'
of the bushes popped the Woozie

he seemed very glad. "At last I

FIND INDIAN
MARKINGS AT
DOS CABEZAS

Photographs, early Indian draw
ings and hieroglyphics. discovered
recently by Mr.. and Mrs. M. Nor
gan of Plaster City, attracted a
large group of motorists to the Dos
Cabezas area Sunday, when the
Desert club, composed of members
| of the Sierra club fIom all parts
J of Imperial Valley organized under
the leadership of their president
H. Cyril Johnson, of Brawley and
with Mr., and Mrs. Morgan as
guides, visited the spot where these
interesting Indian drawings are To-
Gated.
The photographs are found on the
ceiling of cave in the rocks, and
include about so characters in red,
/ black and blue. The cave is a
hole in the side of the mountain
about. 20 feet deep, and the top,
which curves, is covered with these.
drawings of an ancient period. Tile
designs vary and some were not
decipherable to the visitors. Others
definitely represent the sun and
the moon and one greatly resem-
bleS an alligator.
Included in the group who motor
ed to the cave Sunday was c. G.
Wilson. government entomologist,
who stated that it would take an
expert in archaeology to determine
the exact period which these picto-
graphs represent.
| One member of the group found,
near the cave, a heavy pottery cup,
unlike any Indian relic which has
ever been found in this area. 1t
is shaped like a drinking cup OF q
child, about two and one-half
inches across the mouth and about
seven inches deep. 1t is very
heavy and of pottery which APP
pears to have been made differ
emily from that used in the usual
Indian ola. This cup, together
with the photographs, lead members
of the Desert club to believe that
they may have found the remains
of an older Indian civilization than
that which has been identified with
other Indian relics found here.
To reach the cave one takes the
old paved road to San Diego, con-
tinuing past Coyote Wells on the
road which formerly travelled up
the wash, rather than the new hill
side road. The Dos Cabezas road
branches off this highway to the
north and is easily followed. The
motorist drives west one mile from
Dos Cabezas station and then must
continue one-half mile on foot to
the cave.
Members of the Desert club re-
Iported at the Ell Centre Chamber OF
Commerce that this is the last trip
Ithey will make until fall. At that
time other members will probably
be added and number of inter-
esting trips are planned.
