The halfway mark was reached late
Yesterday with the capture OF three men
and two women concerned IN the KID
naping of w. F. Gettle, resulting IN the
latters restoration to his family Wlth-
out payment of ransom. :
The remainder of CALIFORNIA; JOB Is
to put a rope around the necks OF these
three gentlemen and hang them.
1t is going to be difficult job. The
law provides the death penalty for KID
naping where the victim has been IN
iured. Gettle was injured when his cap
tors pushed him over wall causing nm
to fall and seriously inlure his leg.
However. there are plenty OF legal
loop-holes to be used and plenty of law
yers willing to use them. There are also
plenty of sob-sisters and weak-kneed
sentimentalists liable for jury duty
There are sensational papers and glorl-
fled feature writer's ready and willing
to weave halos of virtue above the heads
of the kidnapers.
All these difficulties must be sur
mounted.
Hanging the kidnapers is not essential

tive exists but the primary motive IS pro
lection for the men, women and child
ren of this state. Nothing Will De as Ell

There was criticism of the lynchlng OF
two San Jose kidnapers several months
ago. Perhaps it was justified. On that

We doubt that the most soft-hearted
person prompted to seek mercy for the
kidnapers, would hesitate single IN

snake warns before he strikes. The kid
naper does not. He carefully makes his
plans and strikes swiftly and surely.
There can be no excuse for him what
soever He is no respecter OF persons
and if given the opportunity would not
hesitate to kidnap the very persons who
speak kindly in his behalf.
By an odd coincidence, Arizona's kid
naping case was cleared up at the same
time as California's. Only the most
callous person can read of the horrible
treatment accorded June Robles and
not be overwhelmed by desire to see
swift and summary punishment dealt
out to her captors. The chances that
this will be done appear slim at this
writing, for the trail of her captors is

look like a COB Of cream, on the face
of Mr.. Longears.
But Ill rub it in." said Uncle
Wiggily. So he rubbed the cream
we'll into his whiskers, making his
face look like a cocoanut custard
cake, and began to shave while Bun
ty sat back again on the stool and
watched. She could see Uncle Wig
gily's face in the mirror and, though
the rabbit gentleman had his back
to Bunty, he could also see her in
the looking glass, just as you can
see a car coming up behind you in
the auto mirror.
Uncle Wiggily looked very fun
ny with white lather all over his
face and Bunty wanted to laugh.
But she didn't for fear she might
get Mr.. LongearS giggling and his
paw would slip and he would cut
himself. So she kept very quiet on
the STOOL
Then, all of a sudden, when Uncle
Wigily had almost finished shaving,
he saw in the glass the shape of
the Bob Cat climbing in the bath
room right behind Baby Bunty. The
little orphan could not see the Bad
Chap because her back was toward
him. But Mr.. Longears saw, and,
dropping his razor, he turned

shouted Mr.. Longears. With that he
took the tube from Bunty and be-
fore the Bob Cat could pop in, Un-
Gle Wiggily squeezed so much soap
in his eyes that the Bad Chap
couldn't see and he fell back out OF
the window and bumped his silly lit
tie tail.
So it all happened for the best.
And if the goldfish will stop splash

UNCLE WIGGILY'S SHAVING

Uncle Wiggily rubbed his paw on
his chin and said:
II think I'll go up in the bath
room and shave before go to look
for an adventure"
"Oh, may 1 come up and watch
you?" asked Baby Bunty, the little
orphan rabbit. II love to watch you
shave, Unkie Wigl'
We'll, if you don't speak any
more baby talk than that, and if
you keep very quiet so I don't jiggle
my paw and cut myself, you may
watch me-" said the rabbit gentle
man. But won't you be late for
school, Bunty?"
oh, no, Unkie Wig" she answer
ed, II have lots of time"
So up the stairs she hoped to the
bath room and sat on stool in a
corner with her back toward the
window, which was open to let in
the fresh air. Uncle Wiggily sharp
ened his razor and stood in front of
the looking glass with his back to
Baby Bunty.

Child Development
Problems Subject
Of Meeting Today

Miss Hally Flack extension spe-
cialist in child development and
parent education, spoke this morn
ing at a countrywide meeting of
interested women on problems rel
ative to training children in the
wise use of money.
Emphasizing the fact that a
parent S job as homemaker is real
" the development of human be-
ings and that her main interest
should be the proper development
of her children, Miss Flack stress
ed the Importance of proper mott
vation, the developing in the indi-
vidual a desire to do those things
which are necessary in the family
life.
Children, she declared, should
not be paid to perform their share
of tasks in the family life but rath-
er the spirit of cooperation should
be so developed that each would
be willing to perform his share OF
the general work to be done by the
entire group.
In discussing teaching children
the value of money Miss Flack
pointed out that perhaps the great
est value that can be learned is
that money is not the only value
in life.
Problems involved in teaching
children the use of money, such as
the allowance, what it should con-
sist of, what it should cover, age at
which it should be paid, ETC.,
methods of handling an allowance,
teaching children the principles OF
saving and the values of commod-
tiles all came under the discus
sion.
AS a background Miss Flack
pointed out the motives for spend
ing, desire for power and the de-
sire for attention; those which are
back of the desire to save, the desire
for safety, and those which underly
giving.
Many questions and individual
problems were answered and dis
cussed, Miss Flack urging her lis
teners to realize that accomplish
ment of a definite job is not the
ultimate aim, but rather, the prop
er development of the child, and
that parents lose sight OF their
real air in their desire to make a
child perform certain tasks.
This afternoon Miss Flack Will
attend the meeting OF Eastside-
Sunset in the Friends church and
tomorrow morning that of Mt. Sig
nal at the c. C. Bogue home and
tomorrow, Jasper, at the home OF
Mrs. John Fiala.

She took the tube of shaving soap

white stuff. Bunty gave a hard
squeeze.
Look out!" cried Uncle Wiggily
Careful, Bunty! You're squeezing

crumpling up the middle of the tube

GETTING BETTER

Straws show the way the wind is
blowing, and this holds true with ref
erence to economic conditions in Imper-
ial Valley.
One of the ''straws" was pointed out
yesterday by the county tax collector.
who issued a statement asserting that
for the first time in % years no bad
checks were rendered in payment for
installments of the 1933-34 taxes.
In former years there have always
been several checks rendered for tax
payment which We're returned marked
mot sufficient funds" No such instance
was found this year by the collector
This can be taken as an indication
that Imperial Valleys financial affairs
are in better condition than they have
been for some time
1t might be claimed that fewer persons
are paying taxes and that this fact ac-
counts for the clean condition of checks
The contrary is true however, the col
lector stating that collections are II per
cent of the total tax, higher percent
age than any time since the prosperous
days of 1928.
This is another straw to encourage
the businessman and the individual.
Generally speaking taxes are left to the
last thing when the average citizen starts
shelling out his cash, particularly if he
is in more or less Strengthened circum-
stances as most have been.
These "straws" should give encour-
agement to all of us. They are proof
that the worst is past and that we may
hope for the better. There is not one of
US that hasn't known what it has meant
to scrimp and stretch finances during
the past five years.
that condition for it has been practical
ly universal. There has been a splendid
spirit shown on both sides, generally
speaking, the creditor doing his best to
be as lenient as possible and the debtor
making every effort to pay as much as
he could. All of us should be the bet
ter for the experience.
