"'There is gold in the Dead sea
water-as there is in the waters of
every sea-but no process for get
ting it out commercially has been
developed.
For centuries the GhOr, as the
Arabs call the great depression of
the Dead sea, has been an unhealthy
locality. The local population-ex-
cepting the hordes of prewar pill
grims and tourists who crowded
the Jericho road at Easter time
was confined to a few miserable
Arabs with negroid features. One
triumph of the new company has
been its health record. The former
pest-hole is now a healthy spot in
spite of the terrific heat, for ma
laria, a former scourge. has been
abolished.
THE millions of tons of salts to
be hauled from the Dead sea will
probably avoid the present 1000
foot climb to Jerusalem by means
of a railway which may be built
up the Jordan valley to Beisan,
historic site where the plain of Es-
draelon breaks away to the Ghor.
From Beisan the chemicals will go
to Haifa, there to be transshipped
into ocean liners accommodated be-

OBSERVE MEMORIAL DAY

MEMORIAL day is to be observed in Ell
H Centre this year with an unusually
appropriate program, which includes
laying the cornerstone of the new post
office building.
AS a business day intervenes this year
between the weekend and Memorial day.
the usual exodus in search of pleasure
will not be as large as in former years.
Those who stay at home should make
an effort to take part in or view the an
nual parade, staged by the American
Legion, attend the memorial exercises at
Evergreen cemetery and be present at
the laying of the cornerstone.
Participation in the exercises commem-
Grating the dead soldiers and sailors of
the nation, is a duty and an honor too
often neglected by many Americans who
see in Memorial day just another holi-
day and an opportunity to enjoy them
selves Attendance at the post office
ceremony should be a matter of civic
pride with every resident of El Centre.
The new post office not only repre-
sents a splendid investment in this city
by the federal government, but it is
monument to the present and future
progress of Ell Centre.
1t might not be amiss, even this early,
to urge citizens to display the national
colors on their homes and places of bus
mess on Memorial day. The flag regu-
lations call for such display to be at
half-staff from sunrise until noon, at
which time the flag is raised to full
staff.
The half-staff display is made in de-
ference to the memory of the dead SOL
diers and sailors-the full staff signifies
that the duty to the dead has been con-
cluded and the flag may again be dis
played in its usual position.
The movement, sponsored by patriotic
organizations throughout the country,
to change Memorial day from holiday
of pleasure, back to the purpose for
which it was originally intended-a day
on which the nations dead might be re-
membered-is something that should in
terest every American. We can at least
devote part of the day to its real pur-
pose and this duty being done, none can
criticize if pleasure is sought.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
By United Press

The Sacramento Senators are
fighting to regain the leadership OF
the Coast league race.
For the second straight day, they
larruped Hollywood pitchers hard
yesterday and won, 19 to 5, climb
ing into second place in league
standings. An even two dozen hits
cluttered the lot before the Sena-
tors finished their batting spree
and one-half of them rang from
the bats of Kampouris, Backer and
IBordagary. Kampouris drove in six
runners with his performance
which included a home run. The
defeat dropped Hollywood a half
game behind Sacramento.
The leading Portland Beavers
split twin bill with the San
Francisco Seals, dropping the first
8 to and capturing the second 10
to 3. Jimmy zinn, hard hitting Seal
pitcher, was sent into right field
and he responded with a homer and
single in the opener. Kallio limited
the seals to hits in the nightcap.
Prince Dana, Portland outfie1der,
scintillated against his former
teammates, driving out two homers
and five other hits in the two
games. His hitting produced seven
of Portlands runs.
The faltering Los Angeles An
gels bowed to Seattle again, 7 to
g. Muller and Burns hit homers.
The Indians pushed runner
across in the ninth to win.
Johnny Babich held Oakland to
six hits as Missions made it three
out of four by an to margin.

formance with triple and double.
Bud Hafey also aided him with a
