anything throwing snowballs."
"Oh, is that SOP" quacked Lulu,
his sister. "All the same, you boys
are afraid to let us girls throw
snowballs at you"
'Ha! That gives me an ideal"
exclaimed Uncle Wiggily. You
boys think the girls can't throw
straight. So we'll have snowfall
fight. Well build a fort in the
school yard The girls may stay i'll
the fort. The boys will stay outside
and rush up, trying to capture the
fort from the girls. But the girls
will be the only ones allowed to
throw snowballs. Not boy may
throw ball"
"Hurray That's all rightl''
quacked Jimmie. Come on, fel-
loWsl No matter how many snow
balls they throw at us the girls
won't hit us and we can soon cap
ture the fort! Come on"
Both the boys and girls helped in
building the snow fort. Then the
girl animals, with plenty of snow
balls, took their places behind the
white wall Uncle Wiggily and Miss
Mouse were the umpires. The boys
lined up ready to rush the fort.
"Go," cried Mr.. Longears. At the
fort the boys ran eagerly. But they
met with such a shower of peltine
snowballs that they soon stopped

What did it matter that when Lulu
threw a SNOWFALL at goat she hit

IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
ANTI-HANGING Law

AGAIN the California Legislature is to
II be asked to pass bill abolishing cap
ltal punishment in this state.
A bill presented yesterday carries the
support of 81 members of the assembly
and has splendid chance of being CIV
Ell a favorable vote.
Capital punishment is a subject that
can furnish opportunity for unlimited
debate, without getting anywhere. Adj
herentS and opponents are stubborn III
their beliefs and it is difficult for one
to convert the other.
Statistics presented with the bill de-
clare there were 405 murders in this
state in 1881, for which only nine per-
sons were executed. Only about 20 per
cent of all murderers were brought to
trial. This means about so persons were
tried and placed in jeopardy of their
lives. Making nine OF these forfeit their
lives, while the others received life sem
tences or less, is not justice by any
means.
This is particularly true when one con-
siderS that life" sentences under our
present law seldom mean that. Life"
prisoners have been paroled after serv-
ing as little as six years.
The bill proposes life sentence with
out hope of parole, as a substitute for
the hanging penalty. This, it is UNDER
stood, would be invoked in particular
ly aggravating cases of murder. An al
tentative sentence of life imprisonment,
at the discretion of the jury, would be
possible in less aggravated cases. The
death penalty would be inflicted only
where a life prisoner commits murder
or attempts to commit it while in prison
Criminologists vehemently declare that
capital punishment does not diminish
murders. In view of the high total of
1881 crimes of this sort the contention
seems well taken. And it is a certainty
that hanging only nine out of the 405
slayers is not deterrent.
The anti-hanging bill has merit as a
sane method of dealing with grievous
crime. If it were known definitely that
real life Imprisonment would be the pen
atty, potential slayers would hesitate be-
fore committing such a crime. AS it is
now they know the chances are heavily
one-sided that they will not only escape
the death penalty but that 'life" means
a comparatively short term and they do
not hesitate to take their chances
Maybe Franklin D. had opportunity
yesterday to investigate the possibility
of restoring the former glory of the
White House cellar

One of the most interesting OF
this years assemblies was that held
Friday in Central auditorium. The
j. C. was invited to attend. The
assembly was opened with short
business meeting at which the stu
dent body dance, an event of next
Friday, was discussed.
One oft he outstanding features
of the program was the entertain
ment by Mr.. Hardy, accomplished
harmonica player, who has been
teaching in an eastern university
and is now on a tour. Mr.. Hardy
explained the correct way to play
the harmonica, and he played sew
eral selections. Among them was a
medley of college songs, "The Song
of India, and Brahms Lullaby"
His concluding number was duet
in which he played the banjo and
harmonica at once.
Following this number group
of five Negroes sang several very
beautiful songs. These young men
are also touring the country from
an eastern university.
Several members of the Quality
Street play cast gave brief scenes
from the play. Meryal Meadows,
business manager for the play, dis
cussed the production.
Florence Hess, president OF the
Honor Scholarship society, has an
nounced that second semester
grades count for eligibility to the
H. S. S. freshment, who have been
/ ineligible previously, now will have
the privilege of joining if they have
the requisite number of points. Stu
dents desiring membership must
have a least three AS and one 3
and no grade lower than B. Ac-
cording to the system of the schol-
arship federation 10 points are
necessary. The A counts 10, each
B counts l, and no C's.

SEE THE CONSTITUTION

AN EDUCATIONAL excursion which
n should be made available to as many
Imperial Valley youngsters as possible,
is offered by the presence of the u. S. S.
Constitution, "Old Ironsides'', which will
be in San Diego this weekend, for an
extended visit to February 13.
Nor will older persons find visit to
the Constitution boring in any way.
Here is an historic vessel, 135 years
old, which has played an important part
in the history of the United States. Of
a type long since disappeared from the
seas, the Constitution is the last of that
old navy which was the pride of the
young nation struggling to find its place
in the world.
All school youngsters are familiar
with her history and their parents were
too at one time. Many of the latter, as
youngsters, learned to recite Oliver Wen-
del Holmes, immortal "Ay tear her tat
tered ensign down, for school programs.
"A visit to the Constitution, will be the
means of bringing back many pleasant
memories to them.
Holmes famous poem saved the Con-
stitution once The school children of
the nation saved it the second time. 1t
is largely through the pennies they con-
tributed that the old ship was recon-
ditioned and placed into service again,
visiting various parts of the country. 1t
is fitting, therefor, that the youngsters
should have an opportunity of seeing the
ship they helped to save.
The Constitution will not come into
San Diego bay under her own sails. That
is not possible. She is towed by navy
vessel. befitting such an honorable an
cient, who was retired from we'll per-
formed duties years ago. Her ability to
inspire is not in the least diminished by
this condition.
Such trip would be a landmark in
the lives of the youngsters. 1t is high
ly probably that few adults living in this
section have seen the Constitution. for 1t
has been on the eastern coast for many
years. They will enjoy such trip and
if at all possible, should make plans for
It during the Constitutions visit.
