Germany Plans
Token Payment

WASHINGTON, March 81. U.P)-
The German government today
agreed to make a token payment of
approximately $1,25O,OOO on its debt
of approximately $50,000,000 due the
United States treasury today.
The agreement was announced by
Secretary of State Cordell Hull. The
payments due were on account of
mixed claims payments and inter-
est, and the costs of the American
Army of Occupation in Germany
which were postponed by the Hoo
YER moratorium agreement of 1890
The exact amount being paid by
Germany is 3,177,l25 reichsmarks.
Although payment was due today, a
three-day postponement was taken
because March 81 and April 2 are
legal bank holidays in Germany.
The state department said the
sum being paid is equal to the in
terest due today on the installments
postponed under the moratorium.

EXPERT
NFERS WITH
FARM ADVISOR

Woodbridge Metcalf. extension
specialist in forestry, spent some
time in the valley this week con-
cutting with Frank G.. Beyschlag,
farm advisor, relative to windbreaks
in the valley.
Several new species are being
tried out in addition to the fa-
miliar eucalyptus and athel. On
the P. A. Thaanum ranch west of
Ell Centre beef wood from Austria
liza is being used in an experiment.
1t is hoped that it will give less
root competition than do the other
varieties. On the Jarrett ranch
east of Imperial, Aleppo or Jew
pine is being used in experiments.
1t is Metcalf's belief that desert
gum eucalyptus is the most salts
factory for the valley of the euca-
lyptus species and that eucalyptus
is the most effective as a windbreak
since a windbreak extends protec-
ton over an area five times its
Height. EUCALYPTUS trees in the val
ley seem to grow taller than these
other trees, some being as high as
30 feet.
However, Metcalf warns grow
ers, good windbreak is worth every
care but if the farmer plans to give
it no attention he had better re-
move 1T, Farmers in Imperial Val
ley as a rule do not pay sufficient
attention to the trees particularly
in regard to giving them leavy and
frequent irrigations.

Why
Liquid Laxatives
are Back in Favor


The public is fast returning to the use
of liquid laxatives. People have
learned that the properly prepared
liquid laxative will bring a perfect
movement without any discomfort
at the time, or after.
The dose of liquid laxative can
be varied to suit the needs of the
individual. The action can thus be
regulated. A child is easily given the
right dose. And mild liquid laxatives
do not irritate the kidneys.
Doctors are generally agreed that
SIENNA is the best laxative for every
body. SIENNA is a natural laxative. 1t
does not drain the system like the
cathartics that leave you so thirsty.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is
liquid laxative which relies on SIENNA
for its laxative action. 1t has the
average persons bowels as regular as
clockwork in few weeks time.
You can always get DR.. Caldwell's

for use. Member N. r. A.

It's more than likely that most women get pretty tired of hearing Watch your diet!" Well, July and August are two months when you'll hear no such thing. You simply don't have to watch it dur. ing the hot months. Don't over eat, of course Gas if anyone could stand the sight of very much food right nowD, but outside of that one rule, do about as you please as far as the daily diet is con- cerned.
 In other words, eat whatever you hke--whenever you want it. Don't feel that you have to go to lunch just because it's one o'clock or to dinner because it's seven. If you're not hungry, pass up a meal and wait to eat until your stomach reminds you to order something in the way of nourish- ment.
 Salads. jellied soups, cold, crisp vegetables and fruits appeal to nearly everyone during this kind of weather. However, if you find yourself getting too tired of cold diet, switch to full-course hot meal and see how you feel. It may prove to be Heaven-sent tonic!
 Don't forget to drink ten glass; es of cool(not ice-cold) liquids a day. Plain water is preferable if not, then plain fruit juices.

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris-(UP)-There is a na- tional conference of shoes going on here, and one of the outstanding resolutions they have drawn up is that if 8 dress can hook together. so can a shoe.
 For laced types of shoe, shiny hooks do duty. Truth to tell, all the smartest shoes of today are bor- rowing their inspiration from the good pre-war days of then but toned boot and covered ankle.
 Ever since that girl Schiaparelli launched the idea of fish and bird silhouettes in dress-putting funny little fins on the tail of skirts and birdlike wings at the shoulders, the fin and wing motif has Tapped and Tipped through every phase of fashion, clear down to the feet where high standing tongues and tabs of kidskin give a sort of new winged victory feeling to feet. Kid shoes in a natural fishey eel gray tone are very smart vogue.
 When you come to thin kof 1t, there is no fashion of any kind, dresses, coats, hats, and all man. ner of accessories, that the shoe doesn't come and put it's foot in 1t most decisively. There's no getting a smart effect without consulting the foot for it's cooperation. And while fancy fabrics come aNd go with the whims of nature, kid goes on forever being popular, smart and desirable.

STYLE CHATS
WITH ALMA ARCHER

The turning point of the sea- son is just about one jump away from you. This is the moment when you take parking quarters in the ocean and a sketchy bath ing suit but try to think in terms of early fall clothes and fur over- coats. Point NO l is that the naive moments are about through. After about 2:30 tomorrow, you're going to think less of your dear little coquettish, ruffly organdie and flounced gingham terrace dancing frock than you did when you bought it. Even in your bath ing suit right now, you remember that being naive and coquettish is not part of fall clothes. Those deep, enigmatic bottle green satins and wine crepes for fall demand so- phistication entirely out of the summer picture. And after all. a little chicanery or clothes skill is relished by the best of men after these doll-faced summer ruffles.

Peoria, Illinois, boasts one of the best dental service programs for school children. Dr c. Carroll Smith, who is the supervisor of the dental department of that city is considered one of the most prominent dentists connected with public health work. His experi- ences and achievements during the last two decades make him one of the formost authorities in the treatment of children's teeth.
 I know of no other man who has had such an opportunity of study ing dental conditions among a large group of school children over a period of two generations.
 Value of School Programs.
 His latest report to the Peoria Board of Education (June 8, 1934) demonstrates beyond question the value of the school dental pro- gram. Perhaps the most signifi- cant conclusion he presents is the following:
 "The inspection (of Peoria school pupils) revealed that with those who had been receiving den tai care, there was marked im- provement in mouth conditions, in general health, and in mental poise. A few exceptions to these findings perpleXed us at first dis closure but upon investigation, we found the contrary conditions due to faulty and insufficient diet.
 "A lack of mineral content in the food, together with a sameness and inferior quality of food, re- vealed an unbalanced diet that was definitely affecting tooth structure and other mouth conditions, as we'll as the general health of the pupils. Further contact with some of these pupils during the year, disclosed lowered scholarship and less cheerful attitudes"
 Teeth and Learning.
 "It has been repeatedly proven in other systems, as well as our own, that deplorable conditions in the mouths of school pupils have very definitely affected the health and scholarship of our boys and

 Miss Rosa might be losing her grip, and she might be anxious to retain Jane's amity, but this was a bit too much. "Oh, be specific" she said. Where are we so far be- hind the times? I'm sure we're all organizing for war work, and there are lots of automobiles around. Too many, I think. And we've got all the conveniences and a good many of the discomforts a bigger place would have. Of course, our fac tories aren't worth mentioning, but at Hopsonv!lle.

 But they are. Look at that din- ner tonight! One maid to serve eight people, making everything terribly slow, And those flowers in the center of the table, and the hostess in a strange old dress that belonged to a museum

 Now that's silly. Can you imag- inc me as a professors wife in Marburg? That would be funnier than Amy's wedding dress! I'm grateful to Amy for sparing me that. I really am."
 You don't sound grateful. You sound," Miss Rosa continued shrewdly, ''as if you had tried to hurt Amy in some way and 1t had mt come off. There's nobody we dislike so much as people we'd like to hurt and can't. or people we have hurt without any reason. It's because it proves they. are bigger than we are."
