WASHINGTON, March IT, =
Louie, Mac and Steve have
turned the White House executive
offices into quarters as informal as
cheir nicknames. Ex President
Hoover hardly would recognize the
nausoleum like building, were he
TO return.
Louie" is Louis Howe, the ef-
f.cient little head secretary to
President Roosevelt. Mac" is Mar
win H. Mcintyre, the slim, gray
haired political secretary. Steve"
Is Steven Early, the press contact
man.
They have reversed utterly the
policies of Mr. Hoover's secretar-
les, who were almost as difficult to
see as the President himself.
Louie" is available to anyone
who wants to see him. If his visit

TRACK STARS
To PERFORM

Central Union high school will
send four of its crack athletes to
Huntington Beach tomorrow to
take part in the Huntington Beach
Invitational track and field meet,
beginning at l O'Clock in the af-
ternoon.
Competing against high school
athletes from about 20 schools, the
Ell Centrans are expected to return
with some medals and their share
of points.
Those scheduled to represent the
local school are Gillett, Maiden,
Kirkpatrick and Berry. Berry will
enter only the relay, taking Furu-
kawa's place. The latter has been
indispoSed this week.
Gillett holds the Huntington
Beach record in the 440 yard run
at 81 seconds, and should smash his
own record this year. Gillett will
run the 440 and the 100 yard dash,
in which he placed last year. This
year should see him winner. He
also will run 22O yards in the half
iIlllt relay.
Ell Centro will have plenty of
competition in the relay event, but
Gillett probably will overcome any
handicap and bring his team over
first.
Madlem is entered in the broad
jump and relay. He has been spe-
cializing this year in jumping, get
ting near % feet with every leap.
| He probably will have close compe-
tition from Pollock of San Diego,
being forced to extend himself if
he takes first place.
Kirkpatrick will compete in the
120 high hurdles and 220 low hur-
dies, and also in the relay. His time
in the hurdles this year assures
his school of a good representative
| in these events.

Buster.

Defeats BralUley

ability, the Ell Centro Junior Col

noon defeated Brawley high school

Brawley diamond.
Because of their IL to l victory
over FL Centro high school last

vored to defeat the local Jaycees,
but a hard game ended in favor of
the collegians.
The first three innings were
scoreless. Brawley threatened sew

veteran Jaycee pitcher, came
through each time to pull his team
from the hole. Ritter and Porter
were heavy hitters for the locals,
averaging .666 each. Ehmke was
not given a chance, getting a walk

THE SPIRIT THAT WINS

NATURE can't whip Compton Friday,
~ March TO- 1888, A. D., will go down
in the history of this region as the date
when a new and better Compton was
born. Like the tabled phoenix of ancient
times which rose from its ashes more
beautiful bird than ever, a new city will
rise, more permanent and more useful
than ever in serving the needs of its peo-
pie. Compton can take it on the chin
and come up smiling and confident of
the future.
San Francisco, Santa Barbara Tokyo
all became greater cities subsequent to
earthquakes like that which struck Comp
ton last Friday. Compton's destiny lies
in the same direction. Advantages of
climate, location and other points which
brought the population of this city to
$4,000 persons are just as intact today
as before the tremors. VIII power is all
that is needed to build new and better
city.
The stuff of which Compton people
are made has already been shown in the
brief time that has elapsed since the
shock interrupted their normal lives. No
one had to mention the need of cooper
alton. 1t was present insofar as every
one was concerned. Civic and municipal
leaders did not sit back in dismay but by
early Saturday morning were already
studying carefully the problem of re-
building the city.
After all, the episode is tragic only in
human suffering. Sympathy of the
world goes out to those who have lost
their dear ones or friends and those who
have suffered painful physical injury.
The News-Tribune joins in this express
sion deeply as the management and
members of the staff number many of
those killed and in iured as being among
their friends and acquaintances. A men,
Der of the newspaper staff was among
those seriously hurt.
Those who say the earthquake could
not have happened at worse time are
looking backward up the financial hill
down which humanity has painfully slid
in the last three years. We prefer to
look ahead to the prosperity that is COM
ing.
If the banking crisis Of the last few
days means nothing else, it means that
that long looked for corner has at last
been turned Confidence is in the air;
never has American grit and the will to
win been so noticeable. What an oppor-
tunity for Compton-to build new city
to take advantage of the prosperity we
can begin to see, yet dimly, but most
certainly ahead. = (Reprinted from
Compton News -Tribune).

WEARING o. THE GREEN

ALL OVER the world today, wherever
"A there are Irish or their descendants,
the little sprig of green blossoms forth
to do honor to the good st. Patrick, pa
tron saint of the sons and daughters of
Erin
Were the Wearing o. the Green" linn
tied only to those claiming Irish blood
he would still be honoreG by millions.
But the practice has spread out so in re-
cent years that many who would have
the "divil's' own time raking up little
Irish, are glad to display the green. not
only honoring the good saint, but show
ing their goodwill and friendliness to
their Irish or near-Irsh neighbors.
This is particularly true in the United
States, where racial strains are so nu-
merous and interviewer that the animos-
tiles and prejudices existing elsewhere
are not so pronounced.
Even factions of the Irish, who carry
their prejudices deep-Seated and bitter
in the old country, lose much of their
ire when they have absorbed the Amer
lean idea of one man being as good as
another as long as he behaves himself,
so that followers of William of Orange
exchange friendly greetings on March
II with the followers of James the Sec
ond, and the latter return the compli-
ment on July u.
All of which, of course, is as it should
be- 1t is not desirable that any nation
alities should bring their feuds and diff
ferences to the United States and con-
tinue them here.
No immigrants become Americanized
more rapidly than the Irish. None loves
his adopted country more sincerely or is
more devoted to all for which it stands,
than the Irishman who has come to make
his home here.
There's the Irish Dragging and being
serious on st. Patrick's day, when ev-
cry son of the "ould sod" should be as
happy and gay as the green he wears.
'Tis a great day, so It's, with Mother
Nature joining in to honor the saint by
sending the first sprigs of green on the
trees and flowers, harbingers of the
spring that is at hand and of happy
summer to follow.
While ST. Patrick might be inward
ly surprised to meet some of those who
do him honor today, he wouldn't bat an
eyelash but would recognize them as his
children, as truly as the Irish themselves,
and praise them for wearing his colors.
