laughter by both mother and daughter.
I was behind the times. A back num-
Der. Didn't I trust the girls good
sense and the mans honor? I do not
question the character Of the youag
couple, but the Interpretation others
would put upon their travelling together
without any chaperon. Am I hope
lessly archaic, or are my friends too
advanced for my way Of thinking?
GODMOTHER.
Answer-You are absolutely right
and the mother and father and daugh-
ter must be strangely unsophisticated
II they think that the girl can violate
one Of the oldest and most ironbound
of all conventions without having the
worst possible construction put upon 1t.
There are some things that simply
are not done In respectable society.
and one of them IS for a Young girl
and man to go of on trips alone.
So improper is 1t considered that the
hotel register has been regarded as
furnishing the final proof Of guilt In
many q divorce suit.
No matter how honorable and trust
worthy a man Is. nor how chaste a
girl, they inevitably start a scandal II
they violate the proprieties. 1t isn't
enough for girl to be good. She has
to look good. DOROTHY DIX.
Dear Dorothy DiX-My fiance and ]
are planning to be married in q very
short time. but We have seen so many
OF our old friends marriages 60 on
the rocks that we are beginning to
wonder II a wedding ring destroys
the beautiful love that precedes it.
Do you think 1t does? D. w.
Answer-Not at all. Marriage Is
the greatest pIeservative OF love be-
cause the mere sense q man and
woman have that they are bound to-
gether gives each the value in the
others eyes that we have for the things
that belong to us. Just as we think
our own car and our own dog are
superior to other peoples. Also ii
gives q sense Of permanence. We have
made our choice and We have the in
clination to abide by 1t.
Likewise. married people have the
strongest of all ties in that they have
a mutual interest In their home. their
children. their prosperity generally
They rise or fall together.
The thing that makes people fall out
Of love with each other is daily asso-
citation, the clashing Of personalities
the wearing away of the novelty, the
conflict Of selfshness

The Old Gardener Saws ::

There is a startling difference
between the fashioned brick
red Oriental poppy and the newer
kinds, some lovely shell-pink,
some lavender, some in tones of
crushed raspberry and some pure
white. Garden makers who dis
carded the old-fashioned Orien-
tai peoples years ago because Of
their difficult color will have no
reason to quarrel with these new
hybrids, which grow readily in
any good sunny garden and in
crease rapidly. These peoples
have the curious habit Of rest
ing in Midsummer. which means
that they can be divided and re-
set in late July or in August with
perfect ease, although they resent
being disturbed in the Spring.

CRIME WAVE
UNDER DEBATE
BY ATTORNEYS

LOS ANGELES, July II. U.P)-
The American Bar association,
temporarily shelving a tentative
slap at the new deal" delivered by
Patrick j. Hurley, secretary of war
under Herbert Hoover, today turn
ed the nations most brilliant legal
minds toward the problem of crime
and its suppression.
The association, meeting in it's
58th annual convention, 5000 dele
gates attending, devoted its two
general sessions of the day to a dis
cuSSion of crime problems. The
formal topic was Criminal Law and
its Enforcement"
Earl Warren, district attorney OF
Alameda county, Calf, led the dis
cussion with an address advocating
a state department of justice"
From New England came Dean
Roscoe Pound of the Harvard law
school to guide the delegates to
ward better criminal law" George
z. Medalie, former United States
district attorney for the southern
district of New York, discussed
making criminal prosecution more
effective"
Meanwhile, in sectional meetings,
the attorneys took UP the problem
of uniform divorce laws and the
validity of foreign divorces and
diverse problems of law applicable
to the interests of various groups,
Following the addresses on crime
problems, the association again was
to take up the trend of national
politics as it affects the profession
of law. With tie address of Hurley
fresh in their minds, the delegates
were to consider resolutions asking
investigation into the New Deal"
seizure of power" and reports on
the affects of New Deal legisla-
ton upon the functions of the
judiciary"

SALES TAX To
Be TESTED by
LEGAL ACTION

SACRAMENTO, Calf, July II
(U,R)-A test suit to determine the
conStitutionality of California's new
3 per cent retail sales tax which
exempts foodstuffs today was being
planned for next week.
Sponsored by the Sacramento
Business Mems council with the
backing of restaurant Wner S
throughout the state, the court ac-
ton will have the cooperation OF
the state board of equalization, tax
administrative body.
Clifford Russell, attorney for the
business council said that the tax
law which exempts foodstuffs sold
in grocery stores but taxes meals
served in regular eating establish
ments was plain discrimination
and therefore unconstitutional.
Plans for the friendly suit call
for the Lenhart Coffee Shop to pay
a 2 instead of 3 per cent tax, with
the board following with a notice of
withdrawal of license. The cafe will
then file it's action in Sacramento
county superior court.
Should the new law be declared
unconstitutional, the tax will revert
to the 2 per cent originally provided
in the Riley Stewart act, with no
exemptions.

absence of President Walter B.
Havekorst.
AS previously announced, f. w.
Lott, manager of Imperial Valley
Milk Producers association at Holt
vile, will tell of the plans of his
organization to ship cream to the
Los Angeles consuming areas. The
association plant at Holtville has

proved to provide facilities for pro-
ducing fresh, sweet cream for
coastal population centers.
D. G.. Hildebrand, recently in
stalled in charge of the Federal
Rural Rehabilitation office in I'M
perial county, will also speak on
the plans and objectives of the

new milk laws which passed the

the law and its effect upon Imper-
ial Valley diaries if adopted here
and in the coastal consuming area.

Civil Action Filed
Against Stensrud

Charging that great grief and
mental pain and anguish of heart
were caused when a portion of the
casket containing the remains OF
his deceased child was sawed off in
order that it could be fitted into a
vault, j. G. Blevins has brought suit
in superior court against G. O..
StenSrud asking damages of $500.
The act occurred on June 10, 1885,
when, it is alleged iii the complaint,
Stensrud, finding that the cement
vault was too small, sawed off a
portion of the casket and ruined it,.
Stensrud was prosecuted on a
charge of malicious mischief in
connection with this action in JUS
tice court here last week. He was
found guilty and applied for proba-
ton which application is to be
heard on Friday. Stensrud is care

for five years because my husband
said l could not cook"
Police arrested William Van

his sister, Miss Catherine Van

Imprisonment.
Rescued from her alleged impris-

LOWER RAIL
FARES URGED

WASHINGTON, July II UH -
Possibility that railroads might be
forced to reduce their passenger
fares to two cents mile was seen
today in a proposed report to the
interstate commerce commission.
Irving L. Koch, examiner for the
commission, reported that the
present regular basic passenger fare
structure of 3.6 cents per mile, is
unreasonable.
He recommended that the COM
mission establish two-cents- per-
passenger-mile fares in coaches and
three cents per passenger mile in
Pullmans. Koch also held:
That experimental fares in the
southern and western districts,
seeking added passengers at low
fares, are reasonable and lawful.
That Pullman surcharges, made
by the railroads for passengers who
ride in sleeping cars, are unreason-
able and should be eliminated.
That extra fares as now charged
for extraordinary" service are
lawful.
