THE LAUGH IS ON US

Do you hear that chuckling? 1t comes
from the women, and if it doesn't it
should
Several weeks ago Kinsford-Smith
flew from Hawaii to the United States
and upon arrival was hailed as something
of a super-man because of his feat. We,
the menfolks, went around with chests
out, mighty proud that one of the boys
had performed a perilous and difficult
stunt, adding to the glories of aviation.
A little later a woman went to Homo
lulu and let it be know that she planned
to fly back to the United States. And
what an uproar went up. Well informed
persons (men) Immediately set up cry
that she should not be permitted to try
it. Her plane was not of the right type,
it wasn't properly equipped, it was of an
obsolete model, its gasoline capacity was
not all that it should be.
Other critics (more men) belittled the
woman flyers plans, asserting that she
had been hired by a group of Hawaiian
propagandists to center attention on
Hawaii while congress is debating the
Hawaiian sugar question and win SYM
pathy for the islands cause. This was
another reason why the flight should be
called off. 1t ws being performed for
money. They forgot that even Lind
bergh's flight to Paris brought him
prize of S25,0O0.
Undaunted by the critics and the
knockers, Amelia Earhart certainly
she is Mrs. George Palmer Putnam, but
what of it?) went ahead with her
preparations and repeated the care and
caution which characterized her solo
flight cross the Atlantic. (Seems these
men folks forgot that she WAS twice
across the Atlantic in a plane and did it
once all by herself)
Yesterday afternoon she hoped off
from Hawaii. This afternoon she landed
at Oakland, Calf, no more tired than If
she had been out late to dance and
giving herself and her sisters plenty OF
reason to give the horse laugh, if ladies
indulge in such things, to the lords OF
creation" She is the first person to
make the trip ALONE and thus beats
Kinsford-Smith's fine work.
Salute her??? You bet your boots we
do. She's a swell woman, topnotch
aviator, credit to her sex in every way
and niece of whom Uncle Sam can we'll
be proud. Go ahead and laugh ladies,
you certainly rate it.

To the voters of
Imperial Irrigation District:
In presenting my candidacy for
the office of Treasurer for the I'm

Congratulations are due and extended
to Ell Centre Aerie, No 1859 Fraternal
Order of Eagles, which was organized 27
years ago today and holds the title of
the oldest fraternal organiztion in I'M
perial county.
1t is older than the county itself, the
latter having achieved county status on
August 26, 1907, several months after the
Eagles lodge started.
In the q years that have passed the
Eagles lodge has kept pace with Imperial
valley and has maintained its position as
one of the outstanding lodges in Imperial
Valley. During its long existence it has
asked for no favors from anyone and has
contributed much, not only to the well
fare of its own members but to every ac-
tivity intended foT the development and
progress of Ell Centre and Imperial
Valley.
Organized with membership of so.
the lodge now boasts over 200 members
and is happy in having two of the char
ter members still affiliated with the
lodge-Dr. F. w. Peterson, pioneer ply
sician and Albert Casner of Holtville 1t
owns its lodge property and is in fine
financial condition.
The lodge will observe its anniversary
with a dance program next Wednesday
night at which members and friends of
the order will celebrate
1t is a pleasure to extend the congratu-
lations end good wishes of this publica-
ton and Ell Centre to this sturdy S
pioneer, together with the hope that it
will continue to prosper in the future as
it has in the past.

he hoped again. Pretty soon he
saw large pile of snow that didn t
seem to be a drift. And from the
pile came calls of:
"Help! Help! Help, dig us out E"
"Who wants to be dug out and
what's the matter? Who are you?
asked Uncle Wiggily, as he hoped
closer to the pile of snow that
wasn't a drift.
''I'm Buster! I'm Custer! 1 m
Billie Wagtailn the voices shouted.
And Billie added: "We re stuck in
the snow pile. 1t caved in on us! !"
Dug Out of the Snow
"Oh, my goodness!' exclaimed
Uncle Wiggily. Luckily he had a
shovel with him and he soon care
fully dug out the two rabbit boys
and Billie.
"'What happened?" asked Mr.
Longears, as they shook the snow
off.
"We made a snow house as you
taught us the other day. said
Buster.
Like the Eskimos at the North
Pole" said Custer.
~ helped them," bleated Billie.
but it was cold in the snow house
after we had it made. SO, as I'm
a Goat Scout, 1 thought I'd build a
fire, as / know how to do it safely.
I built the fire but pretty soon, all
of a sudden, the roof of the snow
house tumbled in on us, even
though it was built rounded like the
Eskimos build theirs. -
''Wen," laughed Uncle Wiggily,
ssno great harm is done. But you
should never build a very hot fire
i'm a snow house. Fire meltS snow
Sometimes even the snoW-block
houses or ice houses the Eskimos
build cave in when their fires get
too warm. You'd better not bullo
any more snow fires. -
The animal boys promised they
wouldn't and then Mr.. Longears
went home with them and every
body was happy. And If your pussy
cat doesn't dip her tail in the INK
bottle and blacken the face OF the
| clock, I'll tell you next about Uncle
Wiggily's icicle candy.

GOOD GOLF
By BILL KLIsR

The average player should bear in mind that the mentaI attitude in a golf game is of great importance indeed, and 1t is most difficult; because one may watch the physical movements of good players and carefully study what they do, yet, it Is not possible to know what is going on men, tally. In my own case ! find that I get the best results by thinking out in my mind where want the ball to go on the shot to be played next.
 When | concentrate ou where I want to hit the hall, my muscles seem to auto. maticalIy adjust themselves in such a way as to cause me to hit the ball to send 1t in the approximate location; and one, thing I can say in doing this; I am not both. cred by consciously trying to think of several details Of how I am swinging the club, etc. 1t Is rather . kind Of subconsclous operation.
