NOVEL BROADCAST
 OF WATR PRAISED

Fan mail response in the less than 4S hours since the broadcast
 was put on the air indicated to- day that WATERS unique broadcast
 of an entire talking picture from the Poli theater Tuesday afternoon
 was one of the most interesting programs of the year as far as listener value was concerned. AL ready hundreds of letters praising the handling of the special feature
 have been received at WATR's studios.
 The broadcast was unusual in the fact that the dialogue and sounds from the film, Evelyn Prentice" were picked up directly from the sound track of the film, and not by a microphone.. This feat was made possible by special research on the part of Harold Thomas, owner of WATR and not ed radio engineer.
 England and Wales spent nearly s195,0OO,0O0 in Poor Law relief in the last wear.

mer, when Nurse Jane made carrot
ice cream, she put salt in the free
ger and this melted the ice and
made the ice cream get cold faster.
He had salt with him-a big bag OF
it,
Quick as a riash, Uncle Wiggily
broke open the bag and sprinkled
the salt on the ice. in the path OF
the sled. The ice got soft and be-
gan to melt. More and come SAT-
Uncle Wiggily sprinkled, until it was
all gone. And now the sled was al
most there. The runners struck the
salted ice. The sled slowed down.
And, not more than a few feet
from the trees, it stopped!
Weren't Sammie and Susie glad!
They thanked Uncle Wiggily, and
promised never to do a foolish
thing like that again. Then they
went to the store so Uncle Wiggily
could get another bag of salt to
bring home. And if the sugar bowl
doesn't upset in the ice-boX and
make believe it's snow pudding, I'll
tell you tomorrow night about Uncle
Wiggily and his new game.

SAILORS CAN FLY
They made it.


Uncle Sans sailors have proved to the
world that they can fly as well as they
can sail, and it must indeed be a poor
type of American who cannot feel a thrill
of pride in the flight of the navy planes
from San Francisco to Honolulu.
They completed successfully the long
est massed flight yet made in aviation.
Their accomplishment was not due to
"navy luck, though any member of the
navy would be willing to admit that there
must have been some of that commodity
entering into t h e success. Primarily
the flight is the result of careful plan
ming, of navy thoroughness in details in
perfect supervision and care of the me-
chanical factors entering into the flight,
and above all of that thing known as
'navy spirit, which determines to fin
ish what it sets out to do.
There are rumors that the squadron
might continue on around the world.
Here's hoping that it does and if so that
it will come through literally with fly
ing colors.

W0NEN LEAD LYNCH FIGHT

Southern white women. aroused by the
increase in lynching met at Atlanta this
week and adopted resolution requesting
President Roosevelt, governors and con-
gressmen of their states to work out a CO.
operative plan between federal and state
governments to aid in eradicating lynch
ing.
The women represented II of the 13
Southern states. They did not stop at
condemning lynching but were equally
vehement in denouncing lack of equal
educational opportunities for the races
and asserted that lynching ''is logical
result in a community that arbitrarily
segregates a race in unsanitary sections
and denies an equal voice in control of
government ito any fit and proper citi-
zens because of race"
While it might be somewhat embarras-
sing for California to give voice on the
matter in view of recent happenings,
there is no disputing the fact that lynch
ings, particularly as conducted in the
South, are blot upon this nation.
James Weldon Johnson, noted Negro
leader, in his recent autobiography, gives
details of lynchings of members of his
race which would make one doubt that
such things could occur in civilized
nation, except that we know only too
we'll that they do occur.
It is to the everlasting credit of these
Southern women that they have taken
the initiative, not only in condemning
lynching, but in demanding better treat
ment for the Negro. The latter has been
held up falsely, as an inherent menace to
the Southern white women. This has
been the excuse behind which dastardly
deeds have been permitted to hide. Evil
IDENTIFY white women don't consider them
such a menace
Where the Negro is guilty of a crime,
none is more sincere in demanding pun
ishment for him than leaders of his own
race. But they are right in demanding
that such punishment be left to the duly
authorized agencies of the law and not
to mob spirit. No agency is qualified to
be judge, jury and eXecutioner, and a
mob is not fit even to be judge.
In seeking cooperation between federal
and state governments, the women made
it plain that they do not wish to place the
burden on the former, and in this respect
some declared the anti-lynching law now
before congress appears to coerce the
states. Better cooperation between the
states and the federal government in
fighting lynching, was deemed the more
desirable goal.
With the white women of the South
taking the lead, there is hope that white
men will be honest enough to join with
them in condemning lynching. Work
ing together, and in cooperation with
Negro leaders, who are most anxious to
assist, there may come day when such
a horrible thing as burning at the stake
will be a thing of the past.

ly threatened the states that did
not help to repeal with the with
draWal of patronage.
1.-The liquor traffic has never been
financial help to a community,
state or nation. 1t will not balance
the budget or pay our taxes. The
establishment of it will be dis
appointing as a tax measure, fool
ish as financial investment, and
Judas IScariot deal in morals.
1T is the province of government
to make it easy for a man to do
right and difficult for him to do
wrong. It is therefore the height
of social folly to organize tempta-
ton for men, women and children
and collect revenue out of debauch-
ing them. Many parents who have
referred to prohibition as a joke
will pay the balance Of their lives
by furnishing a drunken son or
what is worse, drunken Son-in-law
as the inevitable consequence of re-
opening the licensed liquor store.
1.-The church must get back to it's
work of moral suasion to save the
drinker and his family. The de-
pendence of its members upon law
and the loss of spiritual concern for
the man accounts for its failure to
hold the conscience of the country.
THE letter killeth but the spirit
giveth life What this country
needs is the N. r. A. National Re-
ligiouS Awakening. The loss of the
18th amendment and the failure to
observe and enforce it was a symp-
tom of moral slump on the part
of the people and religious de-
cadence. This generation will not
live to see it again. There will be a
dreadful reaction against the reign
of rum but it can be blocked by 13
states and we will not get national
prohibition while the generation is
on earth that lost it. We should
never attempt it until we have Sc
cured at least 40 states and DEM
Cnstrated that we can influence and
make the people want to observe
the law. We must go the long road
back. No drinking, voting the Sa-
loon out of our communities away

"All right" the muskrat lady said,
smiling. I'll bet you were just hop
ing for a freeze like this so you
could try your cane, weren't you?
Now I want bag of flour, a dozen
lemons, come soda-crackers and two
pounds of salt. Can you remember
all that?"

isn't hard to remember those few
things. Sure you don't want any
thing else Well, I'll be back soon
-ah, there's my cane! Now for my

In a few minutes Uncle Wiggily
was hopping through the ice-coVer-
ed woods, sticking his cane with the
nail firmly into thei ce and never
slipping once. He reached the store,
bought the things Nurse Jane want
ed, and then started homeward.
On his way he thought he would
just go past the Littletail house, to
see if Sammie and Susie, the boy
and girl rabbit, were at home. This
was somewhat out of his way, but
it was not nearly IL o'clock yet, SO
Uncle Wiggily had plenty of time
before lunch.
The shortest way to the Littletail
house was over a steep hill, but I'm
Gle Wiggily decided to go around the
hill instead Of climbing up it. Even
with his nail-studded cane he
didn't want to risk falling on this
hill which was certain to be coy-
cred with ice.
And so it was. When Uncle Wig
gily got 10 the foot of the hill he
looked up, and it was like looking
up a mountain of glass. There were
few trees on the hill itself, but there
were plenty at the bottom, and the
rabbit thought how fast sleigh
would travel down the surface Of
glass-like ice.
But it would be very dangerous
he said to himself. THE sleigh
wouldn't stop. 1t would crash righc
into these trees. hope"
Just at that moment he heard a
cry. It came from the hillside. Clan
cling up, Uncle Wiggily saw sleigh,
with two riders, coming down the
hill at express-train speed.
Goodness the bunny gentle
man gasped. ITS Sammie and Su-
sie What are they going to do?
They can't stop - they'll go right
into the trees and be hurt! Oh, my
goodness. Whatever did they do a
thing like that for?"
But there was little time to Won
der about this. The sleigh was COM

could stop it. Susie was screaming
for Sammie to do something, but
there was nothing to be done. I'm

WHERE'S THE CANAL?

Boulder dam, for which, only yester-
day, Imperial Valley was fighting tooth
and toenail, is now approximately one
third complete, the millionth yard of
concrete having been poured this week.
The millionth yard is only figuratively
important. Having been poured, it is
now part of the dam and not to be dis
tinguished from the 37th yard or the
745, ,764th.
However, it does represent milestone
in the construction of the dam and is an
indication of how rapidly work on it has
been progressing.
Little more than year more is ex-
pected to be needed to complete the ac-
tual dam construction.
Meantime, the companion project of
the dam-the All-American canal-has
not even started. The Metropolitan aque-
duct is making progress and the Parker
damsite will soon be under construction.
The canal-that's still political foot
