ASK COLLEGE
STUDENTS TO
AID SURVEY

An interesting feature of the
public service program conducted
this year by Women's University
Club of Imperial county was the
college survey started at the coun-
ty fair. Hundreds of college men
and women who now reside in this
valley visited univet iity headquar-
ters in the Associated Chamber of
Commerce booth to sign the COL
lege survey register AS the list
grew. several significant facts de-
veloped.
There were a third as many COL
legeS represented as there were
signatures recorded - colleges in
practically every state in the union
and some abroad. This soundly
verified the belief of Women's Uni
versity club that in no other part
of the United States could so VAL
liable croSS-section of college data
be obtained as here in Imperial
Valley where geographical confines
create truly a unit of population.
Many people who registered came
day after day to see if others from
this college or that had yet signed.
Many of these were newcomers.
Some returned, accompanied by
their own college friends. One
elderly man requested the privilege
of bringing the signature of his
sick wife, the graduate OF a foreign
university. The human interest
element was constantly uppermost
in connection with this free and
service.
The great purpose of the survey
is to secure information and bene-
fit. both individual and collective.
for the college men and women of
Imperial Valley, and through them
for the valley itself. Practical DEM
onstration of the effectiveness of
this aid has already been made by
more than one local college group.
Those who are residents and
who have completed a year or more
of regular work at any college, if
they have not yet signed the COL
lege' survey register, are asked to
do so at once by signing the survey
coupon which appears elsewhere in
this issue of the Imperial Valley
Press.

Ring Lardner Gifted
 Writer Dies In Sleep
Was First Sports Writer to "Debunk" Baseball-Had
 Plays Also to His Credit

Born March 6, 1885, in Niles Mich, he was christened Rlnggold Winner Lardner. His parents in- sistence that he become a mechan- ical engineer caused his matrioula- tion of Armour Institute of Tech nology, Chicago, in the fall of 1901. He was poor student and in his own words, graduated the following February"
 A brief career as railroad freight agent and bookkeeper end- ed when he "stole" a job with the South Bend (Ind) News-TImes from his brother.
 Lardner's first love was base- ball, and his newspaper career was built around this enthusiasm. As q sports writer he worked on news papers in Boston and Chicago.
 From his contact with the play CTS, Lardner found inspiration for his well known, You Know Me Ap', stories. Sports writers who had eu1ogized players for years were first surprised, then frankly initiative of his satires on the game.
 Lardner once revealed that he had cherished three ambitions - to see every baseball game pos. sible, to be Q magazine writer, and to have a play produced.
 He realized all three. He saw more than enough baseball, he ad- mitted. His humorous stories were eagerly accepted by magazines. Two of his plays, "Elmer the Great" and June Moon" for which he also composed the songs, achieved wide popularity. The ziegfeid Follies of 1922, was sprin- kled with several skits from Lard ner's pen.
 Lardner was a member of the New York Athletic Club, the Lambs. and the Triars, among others. He is survived by Mrs Lardner, the former Fills Abbott, of Goshen, Ind, and four sons; John. Ring W. Jr, James and David.

BY JAMES 0. AUSTIN

East Hampton, N. F., Sept 26- CUP. )--Ring Lardner, humorist, author and playwright, died in his sleep in his home late last night. He was AS years old.
 A heart ailment from which he suffered three years, complicated by other diseases, caused death. Early in the afternoon, he became unconscious and never awoke. Mrs Lardner and two of their four sons were at the bedside.
 Lardner, first American sports writer to "debunk" baseball, and later a bright star in the literary sky, had been in poor health since 1881. In that year he went to Ari- zona and returned to New York City much improved. A recurrence last spring sent him west again. spending the major portion of his time in bed. His physician permit ted him to continue writing "be- cause he wasn't happy unless he was working"
 His "work" was divided into two distinct phases. In the early days, Lardner devoted his talents to the rather broad humor found in his "Bib Ballads'', Symptoms of Be- ing Thirty-Ffve", and "Gullible's Travels"
 Not until 1924, when his coilec- ton, "How to Write Short stories', was published was he acclaimed one of the greatest contemporary short story writers. "The Love Neat" brought out two years late, established him more firmly as an artist.
