IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS
RADIO STUBS ITS TOE

The ladio experts pulled another
homer last Saturday when the entire
Stctc WIS flooded with an absolutely false
report that Governor Rolph had died.
His eXcellency's present illness gave
rise to the rumor, which may have start
ed by SOME misguided person for a joke,
or may have been the result of misunder-
standing some garbed statement relative
tC the governor. Whatever the origin, the
iact remains that it was given publicity
bv at least one or more stations and
quickly spread throughout California.
he result was that newspaper offices
all 0ver the state were deluged with tel
ephone calls from people in all walks of
life, desiring to know whether or not the
rer Ort was true.
!! his office was no exception, and dur
ing the busiest hours of the day the ordi-
narv routine was continually interrupted
to ansWer the questions of those who had
been mislad by the report
The Yer. fact that they doubted it. and
wished TO confirm it by checking up with
ther newspaper, indicates the weakness
OF the radio as source of authentic news.
Had any newspaper been responsible
for circulating the report it would have
hau serious difficulty in explaining away
its error. The unfortunate part of the
affair is that no such sense of RESPONSE
bility concerns the radio. This is not the
first case where the radio has given false
information, for its death list in the
Long Reach earthquake is only too we'll
remembered. There is every reason to
believe that there will be future errors.
The reader may say there was no great
harm done by the mistake. Perhaps
there wasn't, except for the general an
noyance it caused. That this annoyance
was caused almost entirely to the news
papers-the accepted agencies for news
-iustifies their resentment at the radio
for usurping field in which it is with
out the facilities to function properly.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-When
a woman is presented TO King

court of st. James she is supposed

Inasmuch as the governor gener-

their feminine guests also are eX-

feathers.

HOW DRUNK is DRUNK?

There has always been good deal of question
about how drunk person must be in order TO

1t is obviously impossible, of course, to say just
exactly how much intoxicant one may drink before
becoming drunken driver, but it is not to DE
doubted that small amount will do that trick.
DR.. H. A. Heise of Columbia hospital in Milwa,l-
kee has been conducting some practical expert
ments along that line, and ne seems to be of the
opinion that even one ounce of whisky in the hu-
man system is risk.
BY actual tests on individual drivers he found
that five to eight ounces definitely impairs the
average drivers skill and makes him menace on
the highway.
He made that statement to the National Safety
Council in Cleveland.
And of his subjects, the persons on whom he
actually made these experiments, he said, "Most

vast poultry business of East tennessee
That is business that had its beginning
on the farms of that section and at time
when a majority of the farmers were IN
worse financial condition than the present
financial status of the average land owner
IN tbe mountains of North Carolina.
The farmers of East Tennessee, working
with what they had to work with, started
the poultrv business on the farms; and,
Iaboring under great difficulties, have
brought it to its present vast proportions J;
millions of dollars worth of poultry ana
eggs being shipped out of that section
every year. The large producers followed
in later wears, after the efforts of the small
farm producers had made name for East
Tennessee in the poultry world.
This course can be taken here and SIM
liar results can be attained. There Is not
a farmer in Henderson county who cannot
raise his own poultry and eggs for home
consumption and some for the markets.
Thus the farm supply would be assured
and the home markets would be supplied
and in few years the business with out
side markets would develop.
Such changes cannot be secured by talk
or bv standing around and wishing that
something could be done about it; but this
section can be put in the poultry business
r;oht ND in the front rank with East Ten
nessee by farm population with the in
telligence and energy necessary to succeed
