NEW YORK, Dec. 4-The season
has spawned formidable school ot
orchestra leaders, a sleekly groom
ed group that adds a wrinkle or so
to the carefully maSSaged broWS OF
long established baton wielderS. The
newcomers threaten to edge out sew
eral in high favor with a tickle pub
lie.
Favorites such as Guy Lombardo,
Vincent Lopez, Jack Denny, Abe Ly-
man and even the idolized Rudy
Vallee. A successful dance orchestra
leader, what with radio, movie and
hotel engagements, is now definitely
in what is called the important
money" division. A musical big shot.
Each has a following as distinct
and enthusiastic as a star OF the
air or screen and mash notes are
frequently greater. A combined sal
airy for a top notcher is in several
instances $4,000 a week and $4,000
is not unusual. Each has a high
powered press agent.
Among arrivistes who threaten to
dim the lustre of settled directors
are Al Donohue, Richard Himbert,
Lennie Hayton and Ray Noble
These have scampered up the ladder
quickly. And each has a special bag
of tricks in the way of personal
magnetism, gesturing and presen-
tation.
Orchestra leaders are remindful

natural masculine teeth are those

handSomeSt set of feminine teeth
many agree, were those of. Sally
Fisher, once adjoining musical shows,
but now retired. Oscar Shaw and
Jack Whiting, now a rage in Lon
don, have exceptional molars, too.
Major jewelry establishments
have not suffered a successful hold
up in this generation. Small shops
have been looted time after time
but the expensive ateliers were un-
touched. Expert crooks know they
haven't a chance. The entrance of
a stranger in Carriers and Tiffanys,
for instance, throws up a defense as
automatically as the press of but
ton floods an electric bulb.
1t was Arthur Train, as 1 recall, in
one of his earlier magazine stories

BEST WISHES FOR
THE NEW DIRECTOR

OF all the people in Imperial county.
there is only one group which will not
be sorry to see Homer T. Miller trans
ferred from his position as county di-
rector of the State Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration. 1t is made up of those par
asites who would rather loaf than work
and live in hope that they can loaf at
government expense. Since his arrival,
Miller has carved for himself a whole
some respect among officials, taxpayers,
employers and even relief clients. 1t is
to be hoped his successor carries on the
example set by him.
William Fitzer has large pair of
shoes to fill, in the opinion of Imperial
county. Since Miller took over, the SERA
relief load has been reduced from more
than 2000 to a few hundred. Most of
those cut from relief rolls have been sent
into private employment. Instead of
constant pickering between county Off
cials and produce growers and the relief
administration, there has been a spirit of
cooperation working to the benefit of all.
1t will be a long time before Imperial
Valley forgets its crops endangered by
lack of earnest labor, while workers who
formerly worked in the fields remained
idle at home, drawing relief checks. To
the credit of the SERA, the National Re-
ellD1ONI16U StINlC6 anu lIIS SOolllg
board of supervisors the problem was
solved. Those who would not work were
not given relief. The result was that
they went to work. There was no
stumbling block in the SERA provision
that wages offered must be fair.
Fitzer is not facing an easy task. 1t
would be foolhardy to believe that those
men now working, but who previously re-
fused to work, would continue in the
fields if they believed they could, again,
exist without effort Once the bars are
let down, they would flock back to the
relief rolls, leaving the harvest fields
without crews. There are advisers even
in SERA who plead their cause, point
ing out that their families will suffer If
they are cut from relief. The argument
has been proved false in the last few
months, but it has not been abandoned.
1t is Filters job to see that the bars are
not let down, that the shiftless element
is not allowed to return to relief when
work is available
The impending harvest and shipping
season here will furnish employment for
hundreds of persons. Many will come
from other places, but many from this
county can find work if they wish. The
relief administration can give large
measure of help by encouraging its eli
ents to seek jobs. 1t must do so if
Millers work is to be carried on. More
than on any other person, the burden
will rest on Fitzer.
President Roosevelt has declared the
governments intention to end the dole
as soon as possible. State Administra-
tor Frank Y. Mclaughlin has repeated
the declaration in instructions to his
county directors. 1t is up to them to
carry out the program which will do as
much as anything else to end existing
governmental expenses and avoid fric-
ton.
Imperial Valley will be watching Fit
zer's administration of relief in the coun-
ty with interest, but the county's best
wishes for success go along with the
scrutiny.

All-Foops Day, the name given
to the first of April, day quite
generally devoted TO playing alb
surd but harmless jokes. It's origin
tho unknown, is mot recent. As
early as 1850 evidence of it was
found in an old English almanac.
In English-speaking countries,
the victim of a joke is called an
April Food; in France, an April
Fish; and in Scotland, a gowk.
April, one of the lovelist months
of the year, has name that is es-
pecially fitting, for it comes from
a Latin word meaning "to open"
1T is the time of opening buds. The
special flower Of April is the daisy
and it's gem is the diamond.
1t is a season of new life every
where. Grass grows freshly green;
trees and shrubs that have SEEM
ed dry and dead put out tiny leaves
and little twigs can no longer be
snapped off sharply, for the sap is
flowing in Them and they have ac-
quired a new strength and a new
resistance. The birds have set out
on their northward journey and al
most all things which make sum-
mer delightful are putting in an
appearance.
This transition month is spec
tally known for it's changing wea-
Their. Occasionally there are days
so cold that they seem to have
been left behind by winter, or days
so hot that they are advance-cour-
iers Of summer, but the most dis
tinctive feature Of April is its
showers. Changes from flashing
sunlight to pouring rain are fire.
quent. April has played curious
part in United States history for
every war which the country has
been involved in-the Revolution
airy, the Mexican, the War of Sc
cession, the Spanish-American, and
the World War. This last war did
not begin in that month, but in
April the United States entered it.
Almost always Easter falls in
April and fittingly, too, for it is
the symbol of that broader new life
of which April represents one
phase.

SUCCEEDING FROM SCRATCH

John Jacob Astor III has gone to work
He has tackled the shipping business
Young Astor will get $25 week to learr
shipping from the bottom up. His post is
that of an assistant to the assistant marine
superintendent of the international Mercan-
tile Marine Company, a concern in which his
half-brother, Vincent Astor, is vice presi-
dent as well as a principal stakeholder.
Every So many other young men, en-
ployed or not, probably appreciate the fact
that Astor has splendid opportunity. A
$25-a-week job in any line nowadays de-
serves all the interest and application it's for
tunate possessor may bring to it. Incidental
ly, to be paid that amount per week for learn
ing in the school of experience would seem to
be near-velvet.
There are countless young men apply
ing themselves in $25 jobs, who, by the law
Of averages, will not rise very much higher.
On the other hand, there doubtless are some
in that very situation, who will in time
achieve success nicely comparable with that
in store for John Jacob Astor. The distinc-
tion obviously is one Of man making oppor-
or less making the man.
It is generally credited tradition that
you can't keep good man down. However,
highly standardized opportunities for promo
tion in business may be, there is still every
reason for an average man to bet on him.
self-to the extent that he is better than the
average. If he can do plenty of consistent,
independent thinking on his own account, he
is apt to outgrow one job after another. If
young man has the stuff in him, he will
eventually get quite as far as he wants to.
The "stuff" includes large component of
that precious personal asset, originality
theoretically and imaginatively directed.

Last spring longshoreman's strike
over on the coast was the direct cause of this
community suffering substantial loss on
its strawberry crop. Such condition should
not be allowed. Certainly there is enough
authority to prevent another such occur
ance, and the political aspect should not be
allowed to interfere with it. Another strike
now threatens as just about the same time
of the year. Let us hope that it will not do
to this years crop the same as it did last
year.

well in the ALLEGATION of relief funds as has
the Prosser district. There new school,

use of relief funds. Our school project is
about all this district was able to get. Now,
there is an opportunity again to dip into the
public treasury, and it is up to the people
hereabouts to clamor for some of that huge

and grade separations are to be favored in
the spending of this huge fund. We have
need for all. It's time to start asking right

BEDS, SOFT AND HARD

Scientists have come to the conclusion
through laboratory tests that for the brain
worker six hours sleep on downy couch is
better than eight hours on hard pallet. A
hard bed in eight hours builds less energy
than soft bed can in six hours.
The test also tends to show that the
brain works more efficiently but uEilizes
more energy If two hours are cut from the
normal sleep period. In the light of the dis
covered relation of the soft bed to the num-
Der of hours of sleep one requires it is pre-
sumed that soft bed was used to make the
latter test.
Perhaps the professors are right in
their deductions, but the laity will have diff
ficulty in reconciling these scientific discov-
cries with the fact everybody has learned by
hard" experience that those accustomed
to hard bed find as great if not greater diff
ficulty in adapting themselves to yielding
spring and downy mattress than those born
to a soft bed find in habituating themselves
to hard couch.
Who has not returned to his own soft
bed after many nights sound slumber on the
body-bruising ground or strange unyielding
beds and awakened the next morning feeling
physically sore and mentally weary all be-
cause of being unaccustomed to soft place
to sleep?
