ECONOMY BILL NEEDS FIXING

INJUSTlCES of the economy bill passed
4 recently by congress, and approved by
the President, in the misery it is report
ed to be causing deserving ex-service-
men, must arouse the sympathy and in
dignation of all who read of incidents
such as We're cited in the report of the
Disabled American Veterans, sum-
mary of which was published in last
nights Press.
All who have made any study of the
bill seem agreed that it has gone far be-
yond the intentions of those who sup
ported it, and while it may bring econ
omy of a sort, it does SO by dealing out
misery to those who deserve it least of
all-the wounded and disabled veterans.
We have two pictures of the United
States, which do not jibe. One, taken on
the sidelines in 1917-1S, shows the Amer
lean people promising their soldiers:
when you come back, and you will come
back, the whole worlds waiting for you"
And the soldiers grinned and believed it.
The other picture, taken now, shows
these same soldiers, many of whom have
been in hospitals for years, being kicked
out, with no funds and no place to go;
Others including totally disabled men,
being denied any compensation from the
government whose call they answered.
We don't think the American people
want this last picture to remain very
long. Yet the American people are re-
sponsible for it. Unless their protest is
long and loud enough, there will be lit
tie chance of making the economy bill
really an economy bill and not an instru-
ment of cruelty far surprising anything
in the darkness of the middle ages.
Even the National Economy League,
which fostered the BILL admits that it
has "cut too deeply. 1t would go 'too
deeply" If only a single deserving veter-
an were made miserable by it. When
thousands suffer from it the American
people have no recourse but to see that
it is amended and the present wrongs to ,
veterans stopped.

TOURISTS ASK
ABOUT VALLEY

Letters from large touring par
ties and personally conducted tour
managers are being received at the
El Centro Chamber of Commerce
in larger numbers than for some
months past. according to Robert
Hays, manager of the El Centre
Chamber of Commerce.
Each summer number Of par
ties touring California or the
southwest, come to E. Centre en-
route to their destination and most
of these groups remain overnight
in this city as it is a convenient
overnight stopping place from
Phoenix, San Diego or Los Angeles.
Usually the manager of the tour
writes ahead for information and
the chamber staff furnishes him
with information as to mileage,
climate, points of interest and hotel
and auto camp accommodations.
"There is much of interest for
visitors to see in Imperial Valley" "
Hays states, "and this chamber
attempts to send literature and in
formation which will attract these
larger groups to FL Centro and
cause them to make at least an
overnight stay.
"While this chamber is taking
more interest in building the win
ter tourist business than the sum-
mer tourist business Hays con-
tinued, 1--WE find that many per-

bit gentleman until he met a jolly,
red-spotted Squiggle Bug.
DO you know where I can find
any roses, Squiggler?" asked the
bunny.
Take a long breath and a SMELL"
buzzed the Bug.
Uncle Wiggily did so and the
Bug asked:
DO you smell anything?"
"I smell wild roses" said Uncle
Wiggily, shifting hard.
Then follow your nose until you
come to them,' said the Bug.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Uncle Wig
gily. Il always follow my nose, for
it always goes on ahead of me. But
I'll do as you say, Squiggler. I'll
hop toward the lovely smell until
find the roses"
This Uncle Wiggily did and soon
he reached a dinghy dell in which
there were many bushes of wild
roses, some red and some pink.
"They will be fine for my wife
and Nurse Jane" laughed the bun
ny, and he began to pick the roses.
He had to pick them carefully, for
he did not want to get stuck with
the thorns. At last he had beau
tiful bouquet, but when he tried to
carry the roses in his paw he found
the thorns sticking him.
ffT'l1 MT thpY,, in INV hot III
Mr.. Longears. "Thorns won't hurt
my tall silk hat" So he filled it
with the roses and then he put a
big burdock plant leaf in his hat
so the rose thornS wouldn't prick
his head, and then he put on his
hat with the roses in the top part.
Nov I can hop along fine and
dandy!" he said. This he did, un-
til, all of a sudden, as he was turn
ing the corner by the mulberry
bush, all of a sudden out popped
the Woozie Wolf.
Gurr-r-r-r-r-r-r!" growled the
Wolf. Uncle Wiggily jumped back
SO quickly that his hat bounced off
his head and out tumbled the red
and pink roses. Whats this?
growled the Wolf. Are you flow
er garden, Uncle Wiggily?"
Before the bunny could answer
a big bee, who had been sleeping
in a red rose, flew out and stung
the Wolf so hard upon the end OF
his soft and tender nose that the
Bad Chap was surprised. Tears
came into his eyes, he did back
flipperflop and away he ran.
Red rose said Uncle Wiggily
picking up the flower, you brought
me good luck. And thank you, Bee
for singing the Wolf"
The Bee buzzed away, Uncle Wig
gily took the roses home, and if the
ice pick doesn't take the top of
the bottle of milk and try to Spir
it for the gold fish, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily's flashlight.

STATE TO PUT
MORE STRIPED
BASS IN SEA

Plans are being made by the
state fish and game commission to
improve fishing conditions in I'm
perial Valley, according to N. B.
Scofield, chief of the bureau of
commercial fisheries, who was yes
terday a visitor at the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce. Scofield
stated that he had been sent to
Imperial Valley by J. Dale Gentry,
president of the division of fish
and game, for the express purpose
of making a survey of conditions
here and to determine if possible
what type of fish would best thrive
in the Salton Sea and the rivers
of this county.
"We want to give the people of
Imperial Valley good fishing" stat
ed Scofield, land, in order to do
SO, we expect to make a detailed
study of conditions here to find
what fish are best adapted to this
locality. We expect to experiment
with several varieties of fish in the
waters here and when we find one
or more types which thrive here
we will feel our experiments are
well repaid.''
Scofield, who had visited Salton
Sea with j. w. Harbuck, local
game warden, stated that the COM
mission expects to plant another
carload of striped bass in Salton
Sea this fall. 1t would be difficult
to locate the bass already planted
there, he said, because, in a body
of water that large, and with the
usual average of only about one
half surviving, three carloads of
bass would not make much of a
showing. The members of the di-
vision of fish and game will take
the bass to be planted here from
the San Francisco bay district this
fall. "We will try a new method
of transportation and planting, -
Scofield stated. "We believe it is
well worth trying a number of

MAY DEVELOP
NEW MARKETS
FOR TOMATOES

Additional marketing outlets Tor
Imperial Valley tomatoes may be
found through the coast canneries,
according TO Robert Hays, manager
of the FL Centro Chamber OF Com
merce, who has had considerable
correspondence with one Of the
well-knoWn canneries on this sub
ject.
The chamber manager has been
asked to furnish names Of large
tomato growers in Imperial VAL
ley and 10 suggest at what time OF
year tomatoes could be purchased
at a price reasonable enough TO
permit the canning Of tomato
juice.
This same company mas had
previous correspondence with Hays
in regard to grapefruit. They now
bottle orange juice and are inter-
ested in both grapefruit and toma-
toes for the same purpose. The
company believes tn at, ear
the end of the Imperial VAL
ley tomato season, they can pur-
chase tomatoes of small size and
those which would not otherwise
be shipped ana convert them into
juice at their coast cannery.
The interest of this company in
Imperial Valley products is largely
due to the fact that their products
are high in yitanins and it is well
known that fruits and vegetables
grown in Imperial Valley, due to
the perennial sunshine, have high
yitamin content. The sales OF to-
mato juice have increase amazing
ly in the past year, and the coast
cannery believes that juice made
from Imperial Valley tomatoes,
known 10 have high vitamin con-
tent, will prove even more popular
than other juices on the market.

SNOBBISHNESS CONDENNED

WHlLE President RooSevelt'S remarks
W on class Snobbishness were addressed
yesterday to the graduates of the Naval
Academy at Annapolis, they might we'll
be taken under consideration by the en-
tire country.
Remember to cultivate the friendship
of people-not alone in your own class
or profession, but the average run of
folks, the folks you would have known
and liked and affiliated with had
you not been chosen to enter and grad
uate from highly specialized institu-
ton of higher education, the President
told the naval men.
SnobbiShness toward the other fellow
Is common in all of us. The big execu-
tive Is contemptuous of the man whose
job Is not quite sc Dig; the white col
lar man looks down on the greasy mec-
hanic and the man in overalls; the lat

Service in the army in 1917-1S may
have taught some boys who did not know
it before, how to smoke cigarettes and
how to roll the bones, but it also taught
them that while the other fellow may
be different" in race, politics, creed and
half dozen other ways, all of us are
pretty much alike. Few are all bad and
few are all good.

COMMITTEE FINDS
CAUSES OF WASTE
Department of Commerce
Body Suggests Plan to
Aid in Elimination.

Waste In distribution Is too elusive
to be pinned down and defined. it has
been found by the Committee on Elm
ination of Waste in Distribution, unit
set up by the Business Advisory and
Planning Council of the Department of
Commerce.
The difficulties encountered by the
committee, under the leadership Of Lew
Hahn, have been revealed in prelim-
mary report to the Council and Secre-
tary Roper.
eSuch wastes as exist" the committee
reported, "are either inherent in con-
dition of free and unrestricted compe-
tition or are present In connection per-
haps with entirely justifiable functions
and processes which have failed to have
proper control"
The committee found three principal
causes for waste, too many enterprises,
inefdciency and a lack of intelligent
planning. For the first, no remedy was
suggested; for the second, education
through trade associations was recon-
mended; but for the third, a plan OF
study was submitted. from which thss
committee hopes TO draft '1l1le print"
which might be helpful In eliminating
future waste
"Tfle greatest element Of waste in
distribution is due to general lack of
intelligent planning for consumption.
We believe there is much which could
be achieved through breaking down the
matter Of co-ordinating production, dis
tribution and consumption for care
full study Of the principal factors for
the purpose of setting up guide posts
through the observance Of which not
only distribution, but production itself,
could be made to square more nearly
with the great factor of consumption"
The committee outlined studies of
consumer goods and services, industrial
consumption, price structure, selling
costs and channels of distribution on
which it hopes to base its "blue print"
of planning in the effort to reduce
waste.
