THE LADIES DID IT

El CentrO's collective hat should be off
to the ladieS who are to be thanked and
congratulated for the fine Palo Verde
Festival conducted here Saturday. We
refuse to concede that the men had any
thing to do with it, and will accept no
argument on the subject
Several weeks of hard work were
brought to a splendid climax by the flow
er show, the parade and the style exhibit
which made up the days program.
At the risk of criticism we must cast
our vote for the parade as being the out
standing feature of the day. 1t was a
tered the realms of the past, particular
ly SO for the unfortunate judges who
were compelled to do some wonderful
hop-skip-and-iumping in deciding prize
winners for the various divisions.
While provision had been made to des-
ignate the various entries by number.
most of them were unable to be located
and the judges had to put down their
own descriptions of those selected and
afterward attempt to seek. them out a
most difficult task as the paraders had
disbanded and many of them scattered
over wide territory.
El Centro will have Palo Verde
Festival next year. Two such events
have proved the city wants it and by all
means should have it. By having the
paraders move to central location,
preferably the city park, thereby max
ing It unnecessary for the Judges to base
their awards on the brief glimpse OBJ
tanned as the marchers move past them,
much of Saturdays confusion can be
eliminated Indeed it might not be amiss
to have the judges view the paraders be-
fore the procession starts, that they may
get an idea on which to base their find
ings. Their suggestion is offered in the
same spirit in which we feel it will be
taken and without any intent to criticize
Judges or anyone else connected with
Saturdays program
We have no criticism. On the con-
trary we have only congratulations for a
fine civic display

congress, last nights "fireside talk" may

Figures Reveal Marked
Decline in Birthrate

The United States Is fast becom-
Ing nation of oldsters. DR.. o. f.
Baker OF the bureau OF agricultural
economics reports.
With fewer births every year and
immigration constantly lessened
there are now about 10 per cent
fewer young children In the coun-
try than there were FIVE years ago
and about II per cent more persons
over sixty-five years OF age" accord
Ing to Doctor Baker.
Continuation of this trend will
bring about decreased population
after the 10-year period ending In
l94o. the doctor predicts.
Decline In births has been from
nearly 100000 In 1921 to about
100000 In 1884" Doctor Baker
said. but added: "A temporary bios
soming in 1888 OF many marriages
postponed because of the depression
might have caused more than the
average number OF births In 1888"
However, he said. weddings in 1884
were back TO pre-depresslon numbers
and births seem unlikely to increase
after 1895"
The birth decline Is greater In cit
les than In rural areas, the investI-
gator found. because OF the greater
monetary outlay necessary to raise
child In the city.
The most backward group about
having children In the "so-called mid
die and upper classes" Doctor
Baker decides:
Families OF professional classes
have 5 to 10 per cent fewer children
than those Of business men. business
men about 25 per cent fewer than
skilled workmen and skilled work
men 30 per cent fewer than un-
skilled laborers.-

Vast Areas Await Explorer
Sections of the United States That Have Never Been
Trod by White Men Offer Opportunity to the
Adventurous Scientific Surveyor.

Adventures ambitious TO explore
territory never before trod by white
man can find such areas In the Unit
ed States. Contrary 10 the general
impression that America has been
completely explored there are many
areas about which little or nothing
Is known.
Thanks to the aIrplane, John G.
STACK, chief typographical engineer
for the United States geological sur
vey. points out there are no sections
entirely inaccessible. but the heart OF
Washington state forests and the
Florida everglades can be penetrated
only by scientifically equipped land
expeditions.
Eastern states have been surveyed
more accurately than areas west OF
the Mississippi because OF the early
work OF Colonists and their famill-
ariiy with surveying instruments. but
in the forests OF northern Maine
there are stIll places seldom seen by
man. The least known spot In the
East is the Florida everglades.
Travelling westward from the Mis-
sissippl. one finds virtual wilder
nesses In northern Minnesota, Mich.
lgan and Wisconsin. but these areas
nre traversed by trappers' trails, In
dlcatlng that white men have pre-
ceded government mapping parties.
The Bad Lands Of South Dakota
form n slzeable area. largely barren,
In which only a handful Of people
live. and similar areas are found in
northern Nebraska, eastern Wyoming
and In Montana.
Considerable territory In the West
has been studied by expeditions sent
out by the National Geographic so
ciety. the international boundary
commission. the land Office. coast and
