No Cabbages

The worlds most famous cab
bage patch" in Louisville, KY, which
served as the locale for the Ameri-
can classic, Mrs. Wigs of the Cab
bage Patch" has absolutely nothing
at all to do with cabbages.
This fact was made known today
by Pauline Lord, distinguished
Broadway actress, who makes her
screen debut in Paramount's pic
t~urization Of the Alice Hogan Rice
book.
"Louisville'S cabbage patch Of
the 1900'S was a settlement Of
squat little dirty shacks that from
a bird's-eye-view gave the general
impression of a number of growing
cabbages," explained the actress.

The penguin seemed chock full of fun, cause now and then he'd start to run away from all the Tinies, and their hitching would be stopped.
 Wee Goldy said. "I've never heard of putting harness on bird. No wonder he objects. I guess our ride plans must be dropped"
 ..Oh, mo-" said Jack Frost. Just watch me. Sometimes I'm strict as I can be. I'll make that funny penguin do exactly as I say"
 Then to the crazy bird he cried, "Come here! The Tinies want a ride. You've carried on enough, now. and it's time to stop your play"
 Much to the Tinymites' surprise the penguin, right before their eyes, walked right up to the dandy sled and then stood very still. OF Jack just said, Now, that's all right. Just stand there till you're hitched up tight. Then I'm depending on you to give all these tots a thrill"

"Of course I can," the bird an

holes with my sharp beak. 1t is no

wood so I think it will be easy to
make holes in soft cheese. Put the

I'll start drilling"
Well, you would have laughed to
see the red-headed Woodpecker
making holes in that American
cheese. It was soon done, however,
and Uncle Wiggily gave the bird the
pieces cut out to make the holes.
Then the rabbit, thanking the
Woodpecker, hoped home just in
time for supper. Mr.. and Mrs. TWis-

MAP CHANCE:
BLAMED Upon
LABOR ROWS

Commenting on the map of ma
tion's Business" which shows I'M
perial Valley this month as a fair
spot" as compared with a good
SPOT in January and February, w.
H. TYLER, Jr., president of the Ell
Centro Chamber of Commerce, to-
day stated. UNLESS unfaVorable
publicity in connection with labor
aeitators caused Imperial Valley to
be taken off the white area OF the
map we cannot understand the
change. Business men UNANIMOUSLY
report improved business conditions
in Imperial Valley, in many cases
the increase placing sales volume up
to the 1882 and even 1881 levels.
1T cannot be otherwise" Tyler
continued, because of encouraging
farm conditions here. We are in the
peak of the carrot season, with a
gradual increase in cantaloupe ship
ments and, in addition, a large
number of workers being assimilated
in the hay and grain harvests. Ma
turally. when our farmers and farm
laborers have money it is spent IN
the cities and improves business
conditions generally. Reports show
that with the seasonal advance III
spring and early summer agricul-
tural crops the increased demand
for farm labor has taken up con-
siderable of the slack caused by the
closing of the CWA program
throughout the country.
"Of course" Tyler concluded,
Frank Greene's map of the coun-
try's business is prepared in early
April for the May issue and, while
there was a steady increase in en-
ployment and general business in
come in the first two months of this
year, the most encouraging strides
were made in April and the latter
part of March and it may be, and
should be, that Imperial County will
be shown as it rightfully belongs as
white spot in the next issue OF
this magazine"

UNCLE WIGGLY'S RIGHT
CHEESE

Uncle Wiggily was hopping along
through the woods as fast as he
could hop. In one paw the rabbit
gentleman carried piece of cheese
and in the other paw flashlight
No, Mr.. Longears wasn't going to
camp out in the woods all night and
eat the cheese for his supper. He
was taking a wrong piece of cheese
back to the store to exchange for a
right piece.
The reason he was hurrying was
because he was afraid the store
would close for the evening before
he could reach it. And it might be
dark on the way home SO Mr.. Long
ears took his flashlight.
"Oh, such a mixup!" sighed Un-
Gle Wiggily as he hoped along fast
er and faster with his pink nose
twinkling sort of sideways. My wife
sends me to the store for some
cheese and I forget about it. But the
Woodpecker hole bird, whom I met
in the woods, said it might be

soon it would be dark in the woods.
Not that Uncle Wiggily minded the
dark. Anyhow, he had his flashlight.

I reach it," thought the bunny un-

here" said the hoptoad lady.

BOYS ARE JUST PESTS

Like every other community, 81 Gen.
tro has boys, but our boys are different
from those elsewhere.
This is "Boys Week and is being OBJ
served throughout the country as such.
Boys are invited to run city governments
for a day, they are guests at luncheons
of service clubs, chambers of commerce
and other organizations and considerable
fuss is made over them to let them Know
that their elders really are interested IN
them, want to help them and encourage
them to become good citizens
It's all lot of hooey though from the
Ell Centre standpoint. We don't give
hoot about our BOYS and why should we.
All they are good for is to make noise
and trouble. they dirty up the house,
balk at cutting the lawn and doing other
chores, and in general make themselves
completely obnoxious.
If the boy nuisance ended there II
would be bad enough but it frequently
goes beyond that They drive cars at
breakneck speed about the city, some
times they take cars without asking the
owners permission and eventually they
get into serious trouble. When you come
to think seriously about it Ell Centro
would be a better city in every way If
boys could just be eliminated.
Why whole communities should go to
a lot of trouble to make a fuss over the
pests is beyond US. We favor BE Kind
to Animals Week Better Bread
Week" Save the Trees Week" and all
the others, but Boys Week'-bah!
1t can't be denied that once there were
boys named Washington, Lincoln, Lind
bergh, Roosevelt and Edison, but that
they amounted to something was mere
ly accidental. The world would prob
ably be a better world if their home
communities followed the Ell Centre
plan and just forgot all about them.
The more we write about this boy bus
iness the madder we get about it. We
hope any who read this will also get mad
about it. Perhaps if they get mad
enough, and enough Of them get mad,
we may do something about Boys
Week next year other than having to
write something like this. But if the
rest of the community doesn't give a
hang about its boys we're not going to
give hoot about them either. We know
every father and mother in the city
agrees with US in our conviction that
boys "just aint worth fussing over"
You don't agree? Then why don't you
do something about it?

HOT WEATHER HEALTH HINT

Valley residents who dread the eX-
treme summer heat in fear of prostra-
tlon or distress from excessive tempera-
lures, may find considerable to lessen
their fears in the statement of Drs.
Richard o. Schofield and c. Van Zwal-
enburg to the California Medical Asso-
citation convention.
The two doctors have given much at
tention to the workmen on Boulder dam.
where the temperature in summer is fire.
quently at the 125 degrees mark. They
assert that deaths from extreme heat at
the dam have been reduced from II in
1881 to none in 1888 and prostration cases
were cut from 150 to Is, by means of
simple precautions involving two of the
commonest remedies known to man
water and salt.
Old timers in the valley know that
drinking plenty of water in summer is
one of the best ways of keeping in good
health. The fact that it is water that
is recommended might be stressed Ere
quently the cause of cases of distress
from the heat reported here can be
traced to drinking an insufficient amount
Of water.
Here's what the doctors say about it:
THE only protection against excessive
heat the body has is the vaporization of
water from It's surface. Inc patlent Is
practically dying from thirst Fill the
blood vessels with fluid. Heat dilates
the capillaries and there is consequent
pouring out of the fluid The higher the
humidity the greater the outpouring of
water in the form of sweat in the efforts
to cool the body. 1t is possible for the
body to lose 10 and even 20 pounds of
water in one day through dehydration.''
The physicians recommend drinking
water in large quantities and the use of
ordinary table salt in amounts above
that which are normally required. They
explain the need for salt because of the
large amount eXuded through the pores
by perspiration.
1t might we we'll to remember when
the warm weather comes that water and
salt not only are essentials to good
health but may even prevent serious and
possibly fatal consequences from ex-
treme heat.
