PASSION PLAY
FILMS SHOWN

Attended by large crowd of in
terested Ell Centrans, last night IS
showing of Pathe pictures of the
Oberammergau Passion play proved
decided success.
The pictures were shown at the
State Street Christian church un-
der the auspices of the Loyal Work
ers class. Mark L. Stewart, who
brought the pictures here, also
showed a similar film in the valley
% years ago.
In addition to the Passion play,
beautiful travelogues of Norway
and Morocco were displayed which
showed not only the magnificent
scenery but the lives and customs
of the people. After this film,
pictures of California were shown
and those present felt that the lat
ter compared more than favorably
with the former in beauty.

their clothes less drafty, or whose
honey backs rattle from poor up

The object of the meeting was to
discuss with DR.. Porter the matter
of raising potatoes in Imperial VAL
ley and get from him suggestions as
to methods of planting, varieties,
etc, adaptable to Imperial Valley
conditions. The Ell Centre Chamber
is much interested in potato cul-
ture in this community and has OBJ
tanned some volunteers who plan to
do some experimental planting this
winter under the direction of the
county farm advisor. DR.. Porter's
suggestions weer therefore of great
assistance.
Following the meeting Beyschlag
escorted DR.. Porter around the valley
yesterday and continued the inSpec-
ton tour this morning. DR.. Porter
departed for Davis at noon today.

The gratitude of the Nation In due
to President Roosevelt In his farS

mense water power of the country
through public ownership. Consider
able sacrifice has already been made
In the direction of surrenderinR GER
tain water power stations to private

been started Is all the more commend
able on that account. Water power
is a gift Of nature to all the people.
1t is an essential monopoly and

dered by the people.
Certain critics may claim that the
Presidents enterprise In this direction
may have violated the principles Of
democracy by involving the Govern
ment in a phase of state socialism.
But such criticism Is not well taken
and will not hold. State socialism in

conserving to the Government every

Senator BOrah Still Rated
AS National Critic i'm Chief

while the Rock Island Argus offers the
Endorsement of one Of Mr. Boraf's
statements: with so many millions
without work and lacking life's primal
necessities it would appear that to
destroy that which so many need so
sorely is a foolish policy. 1t might
be far better to have a surplus and
pay the farmers for the excess and
spend what money is necessary TO
divide that surplus among the needy"
The Senator's war on monopoly un-
der the N. r. A. Is called by the
Milwaukee Journal Charging down
side roads after windmills," while the
Helena MONTY Independent says:
I'VE agree with Mr.. Borah that II N.
r. A. tends to foster monopolies IL Is
not what we want But we do not
accept the dictum that 1t does tend
to create them. On the contrary we
believe 1t tends to discourage them.
With the price, fixing feature Of N. r.
A. eliminated, and it has been elini-
mated, there remains no just basis for
complaint on that score. As for mo-
nopolies, we've had EN- for long
time and we still have EN-. Instead
Of crying about 1t, will not the good
Senator Borah please tell us what Is
to be done about it,"

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

+, g.. Cost of Living. --
This information now they give:
It's going to cost us more to live!
What once was inexpensive,
Like ham and eggs and pork and
beans,
May sometimes be beyond our means
1t leaves us apprehensive
To hear about increasing cost
When signs of an approaching frost
Leave every one regretful-
When drought has put us on the spot
We may forgive, but we cannot
Be thoroughly forgetful.
The cost Of living higher goes,
Yet life such pleasure will disclose
With philosophic dreaming,
And every intellect refined
Striving to show each Flooding mind
Utopia's castles cleaning.
We look the world straight in the face
If some old plan holds signs of grace
Well patiently unearth it.
The cost of living may be high.
We will be conscious by and by
That Living is Well Worth 1t.

Local Broadcasting.

Long before the radio came into
vogue broadcasting was in practice in
most of the rural regions of America.
1t was not the sort of broadcasting
that is done nowadays, with music
and drama, speeches and entertain
ment generally 1t was just the CONVEX
sations of people, using their party line
telephones, which were all hooked up
together to cover a neighborhood, a
village or sometimes a town and its
environs. Whatever was said over the
phone by two persons engaged in
business communion, or just in
friendly chatting-with a varying
modicum of gossip-could be heard
and was heard in many cases by any
body who might happen to listen in or
who, recognizing the ring combina-
tons, wanted to hear what was to be
heard. Discreet persons were hard
put to talk over the phone In such q
manner as to yield to eager ears the

least possible information about per-
sonal affairs. The telephone was, in
such circumstances. not a dependable
agency of communication for matters
of delicacy or intimate personal
concern.
These conditions have been. con-
siderably changed as the telephone
service has been improved and in
dividual service brought within the
means of a larger number of people.
But the town-line remains in some
sections, to the confusion and embar-
rassment of strangers and visitors.
An incident just reported illustrates.
Gen. Hugh johnson, still head of the
N. r. A., was resting at a Delaware
beach resort. A newspaper CORE
spondent called him on the long
distance phone and asked him ques-
lions and received some answers, but
finally got warning from the dy-
manic new dealer that there was too
much listening in on his phone, as
the whole village was probably hooked
up to hear the talk
That was doubtless quite embar-
RAISING to the general, whose language
is always picturesque. 1t must have
cramped his style to know that every
word he uttered was being taken in
avidly by the entire community in
which he was sojourning. And it
may be assumed that nothing was
said that should not have been
printed, for utterance in such a con-
dition is virtually equal to the widest
broadcasting, with local valuers OF
what is news agog to get the latest
word from one of the best news
sources the country boasts today.

Filipinos Show Acumen
In Tariff Legislation

To the Editor of The Star:
The Philippine Legislature proposes
to increase the tariff to protect Amer
lean goods in the islands from Jap
anese and other competition. The
purpose of this legislation is to in
sure the success of the Forthcoming
campaign of group of American and
Filipino BUSINESS men in the United
States, who aim to gain the support
of Congress for the retention of free
trade during and after the transition
period that will lead to Philippine
independence.
Since the islands sell approximately
twice as much to this country as
they buy from it, this proposed legis-
lative action of the Philippine Legis-
lature shows that PHILIPPINE politicians
are not lacking In political acumen.
There is, however, one essential ele-
ment lacking in the Legislatures
practically. They seem to forget that
it is no longer the desire of the
American people to continue to treat
the Filipinos with especial favor
within the American tariff wall. The
American Government, under the ad-
ministration Of President Roosevelt,
has been promoting a recovery pro-
gram which does not aid the Filipinos,
Indeed, they are getting a raw deal;
the Jones -Costigan law and the excise
tax on coconut oil and copra are
fair examples Of the kind of treat
ment which the Filipinos can expect
at the hands Of the American Con-
gress.
We conclude, therefore. that the
F1lipinos must look elsewhere for
markets for their sugar. oil, copra
and cordage. The United States has
ceased to be an economic Utopia, not
only for Filipinos, but for all other
peoples as well.

Choosing the Cup Defender.

September Is two yachts will sail
the first race in the fifteenth compe-
tition for the Americas Cup, the SUI
preme trophy of the sport. The Brit
ish challenger Endeavour, brought over
by a newcomer in the international
yachting field, Thomas Sopwith, is al
ready here, having made a remarkable
crossing under her own sails, as the
terms of the contest require. Three
American yachts are now competing
for the honor of defending the cup,
Yankee, Rainbow and Weetamoe. On
Wednesday Rainbow defeated Weeta-
moe by two minutes and thirty-four
seconds in a fifteen-mile beat to wind
ward and return. Yesterday Yankee
beat Rainbow by six minutes and
twenty seconds in a similar race. To-
morrow Yankee and Weetamoe will
race.
This international competition. start
ing in 1870, has cost the yachtsmen
OF this country, according to a recent
estimate, no less than SIS 100000.
What it has cost the challengers is not
known. Sir Thomas Upton, who tried
five times to lift the cup" spent a
fortune upon this unsuccessful effort,
his gallant persistence and his en-
dearing personality winning for him
not only the esteem of the American
people, but actually their hope that
he would eventually succeed. Upton

National Zoo Is One of
The Best i'm the World

To the Editor of The Star:
Zoo enthusiasts. and they are
legion. are greatly indebted to The
Star for its editorial Of Tuesday on
the Twelve Rarest."
Too few of us perhaps realize that
the National Zoo has a number of
specimens not found in any other
zoo in the world and still others
which are not found In any other ZOO
on this continent.
The National Geological Park is one
OF the outstanding ZOOS in the world.
1t is too bad that a few years ago an
overzealous Congressman had its ap-
preparation mingled with the District
budget. 1t is National Zoo, a Gov
eminent institution, and should be
recognized as such by Congress

that were built for him by the most
skilled designers and craftsmen of
England. Sopwith, the present chal-
lenger, is, on the contrary, not only
a yachtsman, but he sails his own
challenger.
The Judgment as to the identity Of
the defender rests with a committee,
and there are reports that the hope
of that committee is that Rainbow,
New York product, will prove her
superiority. The popular favorite for
the distinction of defense is SEEM
ingly Yankee. the Boston boat" Her
performances in unofficial trials and
in the defeat yesterday of Rainbow
would seem to put her in the front.
But other tests are needed, in vary
ing conditions, and not until the Off
cial decision is rendered can there be
assurance of the lineup on Septem-
Der Is.
In 1870 Cambria lost to a feet, with
Magic the final winner; in 1871
Livonia lost to Columbia and Sappho,
in 1875 Countess of Dufferin lost to
Madeline and America, in 1881 Alta

in 1885 Genesta lost to Puritan, in
1886 Galatea lost to Mayfower, in
1887 Thistle lost to Volunteer, in
1898 Valkyrie lost to Vigilant, in
1895 Valkyrie III lost to Defender,
then came the five Shamrocks, the

in 1899 and 1901 by Columbia, in 1902
by Reliance, in 1920 by Resolute and
in 1880 by Enterprise.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

| ance need be malicious, or in any
sense actuated by i'll will.
No. there is petty ignorance as well
as large ignorance.
The woman actually thought the
guppy mess" whatever that is. be-
cause it did not hit her between
the eyes, as the gold fishes do, or did
not strike her fancy as the angel
fishes might.
What she wanted. evidently, was a
show, and the ordinary run of the
stream guppy did not measure up.
The many good points of the crea-
ture, however, more than make up
for any flash" which it lacks.
And even some of the show quality
may be put into this fish If ii is
given enough room.
Rarely is it given enough tank
space to itself.
Our plea today in behalf of the
worlds most popular aquarium fish
despite the lady's opinion) Is for
more room for it.
Let those who have their guppies in
a small, round fish globe" purchase
a rectangular tank of 4 or gallons
capacity for them.
Let those who already keep them
in a 5-gallon tank, buy nice 10 or
Is gallon tank for the guppies.
They are worth all the room we
can give them, if we belong to the
increasingly large group of human
beings around the world interested in
the aquarium fishes.
This matter of space is one to which
the newcomer seldom gives attention.
He has read the advice to get as
large a tank as he can afford, but
often he does not do so, for variety
of reasons. When hesitating be-
tween two tanks, always buy the larg-
err one," is good advice.
The very fact that the guppy IS
hardy and can stand more adversely
than most fishes which can be kept
in tanks is innocently exploited by
most keepers. They think that any
thing which will hold water is good
enough for their guppies.
The animals will live, and often
thrive for a time, in such vessels,
but if one wishes to be fair to them,
and to find out why they are not
"messes." in any sense, but very fine
little fellows, indeed, he must treat
them as squarely as he tries to treat
the remainder of his collection.
His scalare. for instance, by gasp
ing for air, will enforce larger quarters
for themselves after they get to a
certain size, whereas the guppies are
so small that their similar attempt
to get more oxygen commonly passes
unnoticed.
If you keep guppies at all, keep
them right, for they are worth it.
A small tank crowded with them
may get along very well for year,
but after that the race begins to die
out. and the survivors are "culls,"
or bordering upon it. While lack of
vital elements in dried foods may be
partly responsible for this, there can
be little doubt that the keeper is
mainly to blame, through failure to
provide enough water per fish. Those
of us who grossly overcrowd our guppy
tanks with 20 or more fishes to the
gallon should try giving the little fell
lows at least gallon for every four
fishes, regardless of size. The fact
that guppies breed regularly under
inimical conditions does not mean
that the youngsters will grow up
properly under them. They will be
''underprivileged" in every sense. and
especially in regard to that vital in
gredient. space, and all that it means
IN fish
