USING OUR STUFF

Los Angeles, Chicago, New York,
Miami, Philadelphia, ST Louis and all
other American cities which go out and
rustic up national conventions, are fac
ing a new sort of competition and it
comes from Mexico.
Some weeks ago Rotary International,
in convention at Detroit, voted to hold
next years convention in the Mexican
capital. Yesterday Lions International
followed the lead of the Rotarians.
1t wasn't just accident either that gave
the Rotary convention to Mexico City.
The Rotarians from that place went af-
ter it with all the pep, publicity and bal
lyhoo that any American bunch of boost
ers could muster up. They brought a
Mexican band to the convention, had a
generous supply of stickers and good
looking senoritaS and senoraS to catch
the eyes of the delegates, and Mexico
City got what it went after in a style
that we Yankees have been led to believe
belongs exclusively to us. 1t is safe to
assume the same tactics were used on
the Lions.
Having scored two bullseyes in two
starts, Mexico City certainly has been
encouraged to keep up the good work
There are other international organiza-
tions with large American memberships
which will possibly be persuaded to give
Mexico City consideration as conven-
tion city.
Strictly speaking neither the Rotary
nor the Lions clubs are American,
though both were founded here They
are international in scope so that they
cannot be accused of not patronizing
home industries by going to Mexico City.
The Mexican government is taking an
active interest in promoting this cam
paign of selling" Mexico City as an at
traction to tourists and various organi-
cations. 1t merits success and it is to be
hoped that large numbers of Americans
(meaning Yankees)) will be induced to
visit Mexico City. They will find a hos
pitality that cannot be surpassed any
where and such visits will do much to
strengthen friendly ties between the two
nations.
Cities mentioned in the first para
graph better watch out or Mexico City
will be grabbing off the Elks and the
Legion one of these days.

behave themselves while the islands en-

WASHINGTON. july 81. - For

These spaces were TO contain SEN

powers that be spent the interven-
ing years hunting for an author to
write the inscriptions. They finally
found him in the person Of Royal
Cortissoz, the celebrated art critic,
and so now the carvers are cutting
his words into stone, SO that he who
runs may read.
This is what the Fourteenth street
side says, in an inscription more
than a tSSk long:
The inspiration that guided our
forefathers led them TO secure above
all things. the unity of our coun-
try. We rest upon government by

The E street side echoes the
same idea, but the Fifteenth street
side remains blank.
If a tough gent comes up to you
and flashes a gold badge which

rabbit thought he could buy some
water wings there. He asked the
lobster lady at the counter.
Sorry, but we just sold the last
water wings" she said in a cold
and uninterested voice. mo more
until next week"
Balloons!
What shall I do, Twisty?" ask
ed Uncle Wiggily of his pig friend,
who was already in his bathing
suit ready to float.
Get some balloons!" grunted
the pig as he waddled down to the
edge of the ocean. -
"Balloons!" exclaimed Mr.. Long
ears.
Yes" said Mr.. Twistytail. Water
wings, you know, are only cloth
bags blown up with air. They help
to hold you up when you are in
the water, just as life preserver
does. But if you can't get water
wings you must use balloons. There's
a Monkey Doodle gentleman on
the boardwalk now, selling toy
balloons. The balloons are filled
with air or gas and are very light.
Buy two of them, tie them, tie
I them under your front paws and
come in the water with me. I'm
sure you'll float very nicely and
we can have a lot of fun"
Going Up
1t did not take Uncle Wiggily
long to hop up on the boardwalk
and buy two balloons. He bought
a red one and blue one each
! with a string on it. Then he hop
/ ped back to where Mr.. Twistytail
was already in the ocean, floating
on his back with his rubber nose
making funny marks in the water
like bubbles. The rabbit gentle
man tied the balloons under his
front paws and jumped in. 1t was
just as if he had on water wings
! and he floated in the water as
nicely as a sprig of seaweed.
But, every once in a while, be-
cause the balloons were so light

LEE To HEAD
PROMOT|0NAL
GROUP HERE

Announcement has been made
through the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce that VIM. S. Lee,
of the Princess hotel, has been
made chairman of the Tourist
and Convention Bureau of Imper-
ial and Yuma Valleys, to succeed
M. o. Simms, who has held that
position for the past year. Lee
has been very active in the work
of this organization for the past
year and has done much to in
crease the flow of traffic through
Imperial Valley.
The Tourist and Convention
bureau was organized little more
than year ago to increase tourist
traffic on the highways leading
into Imperial Valley and combat
competition on other routes. A
large neon sign has been erected
through contributions from men,
bers near Coachella, where High
way so, leading to Blythe, branches
off from Highway SO leading to I'M
perial Valley. This sign has been
maintained for year and has
resulted in many motorists taking
the scenic Imperial Valley route
east, rather than the somewhat
shorter but less attractive and less
improved route through Blythe.
This group has also erected a
neon arrow at a strategic point in
Phoenix pointing to the route over
U. S. 80, leading through Yuma
and Imperial Valleys to Los An
geles, and are maintaining this
sign through monthly contribu-
tionS of the members.
The bureau, according to the
local chamber, is composed of SER
vice station operators, hotel, auto
court restaurant owners and bust
ness men who recognize the value
of tourist travel to this community
Under Lees leadership they ex-
pect to continue maintenance of
the two signs already installed and
plans have been made for the
erection of additional signs east
of Phoenix at strategic points to
direct through travellers over the
southern route in opposition to
drive for traffic which business
people on the Blythe-Phoenix route
expect to make when the northern
road is completely paved.

You see we have such large bodies
and such small feet that while we
are very good at floating, on ac-
count of our fat, we just seem to
stay in one place when we paddle
our feet. l meant to say that you
and I could go in the water and
float about. I'm very good at float
ing"
Fat for Floating
"All those who are fat are good
at floating" said Uncle Wiggily.
But / am not fat and my fur, be-
ing something like a cats, gets wet
and heavy. Even if / tried TO
float I'd sink"
What you need" grunted the fat
pig gentleman, "are water wings"
You mean those cloth bags you
blow up with air and hold under
you when you go in the water?"
asked the rabbit
That's what I mean" squealed
Mr.. Twistytail. The reason he
squealed was because, just then, a
sand bug sat down on the end of
his funny, rubbery nose and tick
led him. Mr.. TWistytail was very
ticklish.
"Well, / might get myself some
water wings" agreed Uncle Wig
gily. ut would be a good idea.
Then you and could go in floating
together even if we couldn't swim
But you don't need water wings
TO float"
mo" grunted the pig, Il can
flot all by my self. MY fat is same
as water wings. Come on I'm an
xious TO get a salt bath"
SO Uncle Wiggily and the visit
ing pig went down TO the beach
where the waves were splashing on
the sand. There was q bath mouse
at the end of the pier and re

UNCLE WIGGILY'S WATER
WINGS

Once upon a time Mr.. Twisty-

to visit Uncle Wiggily at the rab-
bits seashore cottage.
why bless my shell crabs!"
exclaimed Mr.. Longears as he saw
his pig friend waddling along the
sandy beach toward the cottage.
Il certainly am glad to see you'll"
And I'm glad to be here
grunted the fat Mr.. Twistytail. ut
was very kind of YOU to ask me
down for the weekend"
stay for two weeks if you like" "
said Uncle Wiggily. I'VE shall have
some jolly adventures together"
Lets have one now!" grunted Mr..
Twistytail. Let's go in the water
and have a swim"
"Oh, but I don't SWIM" said
Uncle Wiggily You know we rab-
bits are like cats-not very good
at water sports"
"I didn't mean exactly to swim, y
said Mr.. Twistytail. when it comes
to swimming I am very donkey.
Very few pigs are good swimmers.

they lifted the rabbit up out of
the water and then he floated in
the air. A moment later he would
drop back into the water. And you
should have heard Mr. Twistytail
laugh! He tried to float in the air
but he couldn't. He was too fat.
So the two friends had lots of
fun in the ocean, floating about.
Uncle Wiggily yelled when a crab
pinched one Of his toes. But Mr..
Twistytail said never mind, SO the
bunny didn't. And did you see the
rubber boot jump into the clothes
basket to get a merry go round
ride? You did? Then I'll tell you
about Uncle Wiggily and the float

Such appointees received no SAL

paid for their own badges, gold

The department says the bestow-
ing of such empty honors must stop.
And as for the citizens who al

otherwise make big Impressions on

says they simply are wasting their
stamps.
