There are 12 children-f1ve girls and seven boys-ranging in ages from 21 to 3 year, in the Darrtgo family. The twins born last year were registered and will count in the derby. The small Darrigos born since 1926 and living include: Johnny, g; Carmella, 2: Irene, G.; Angelo, 5; Tony, 4; and Joe, 3.

 Asked about the $500,000 prize, Mrs. Darrigo merely smiles and shakes her head. She will talk, though, about her family. Raising 12 isn't so hard, she says, if you can buy the food.
 It takes a lot for the Darrigos. When they had the store there was always plenty of fruit and veget- ables. Two dozen eggs it would take sometimes for a single meal-one apiece, and the older ones wanted two. And 10 loaves of bread, in a day.

 If you would prepare Italian spa ghetti in the way Mrs. Darrigo learned in Italy, do it thus:

because the person who inspired it was a
resident of this city for considerable

because of his habit of discharging fire

one or more innocent persons did not lose

In calling attention to the leniency with
which he was treated, we do not blame
any individual for it - all of US are to
blame. This community permitted the
offender to come and go as he pleased
because on some occasions he was good
fellow'-an excuse which is used too Of
ten to condone law breaking. The conse-
quence of our lenency is that this man,
instead of being put where he could harm
no one, continued at liberty until at last
he is sought by the law for the destruction
of human life. That is a serious respon-
sibility for a community to assume.
Last week, local minions of the law be-
gan the form of search for a man who
should have been in custody long ago.
But the laws interest in him had not be-
come really serious until after he had
killed person.
Looking back into the gentleman's rec

had died-the minions discovered that he
had been in trouble, off and on, for quite
while. He had invaded womans home,
flourished a gun and beaten the woman.
He had fired shot or two at truck
driver with whom he had a difference of
opinion. Finally he had been fined S25
for crowding a car off the highway,
causing a wreck and inflicting fatal in
jurieS upon one occupant of the other car.
1t is one of the law s many handicaps
that it cannot take killer very seriously
until after he has perpetrated his killing.
Every day the police take potential
killer into custody for some trivial Of
fense, seeing in the mans character and
actions and record every evidence that
sooner or later he will commit serious
crime "The fellows screwey," the cops
will comment or. This mans bad act

know, also, that the man will be set free
after a brief detention or a small fine.
They know that some day they may be
called upon to track him down, corner
him, risk their lives in a gun battle to cap
ture him.
Every day the law frees dangerous
citizen-gives him his liberty, and gives
him access to guns, motor cars, knives,

UNCLE WIGGILY AT THE LAKE

When Mrs. Longears saw Uncle
Wiggily fastening his automobile to
his airship the rabbit lady was SO
surprised that she could only say:
oh, Wiggy!"
Yes, my dear, what is it?" asked
Uncle Wiggily, as he tied the last
rope so that his airship floated
like a balloon over his auto.
"Wiggy, what in the world are
you doing?'
Getting ready for our summer
vacation was the answer. I'VE
are a little late this year but still
there is plenty of time for us and
the children to have fun. Get

Buster, Custer, Duster and some
other boy rabbits piled into the boat
and loosed the rope by which it was
fastened to the dock. But before
they could begin rowing, all of a
sudden their boat started to move
by itself.
"Oh, Unkie Wig!" cried Baby
Bunty. What makes the boat go
when the boys aren't rowing and
when it isn't a motor-boat?"
Il don't know. I must see" said
Mr.. Longears. Getting into anoth-

that seemed to be running away
with the rabbit boys. "Oh, ho!"
cried Uncle Wiggily. "A big mud

the principal occupations of the
United States public health service
in the summertime is advising the
citizenry about sunburn.
Whenever the mercury mounts
up and folks start a rush to the
beaches and resorts, the public
health service issues standard
warnings to beware of too much
exposure to the sun. 1t also sug-
gests various ways of treating the
burn.
But apparently it can't take its
own advice. One high officer of the
service took his young son to the
beach and the pair came back
gloriously but painfully burned.
Here is the memo the health
service officer found on his desk
the next day:
Subject
"Sunburn is a red and painful
condition of the skin due to ex-
to the rays of the sun.
Treatment: Make a lotion as
follows: Take one half a pint of
not water and stir into it a level
tablespoon full of boric acid pow
der; then add 20 drops of carbolic
acid and shake we'll. The solution
should be dabbed on the inflamed
skin with a small piece of cotton
or sprayed on with an atomiZer.
1T should not be rubbed into the
skin. 1t can be applied every half
hour, if necessary.
IF no medicine is available cold
congresses will give relief to badly
burned areas"
Daniel Roper, secretary of COM
merce, twisted an old joke to his
difficulties in getting man to fill
vacancy snder him.
Where will you get a man like
that2" a reporter asked.
That's just the trouble" Roper
replied. Men like that are either
in heaven or in business for them
selves"
The hot weather has turned sem
ate thoughts to the perennial sub
ject of the five-cent glass of beer.
1t came up during discussion of
a move to eliminate barley from
the AAA amendments.
1T has been said that if we want
a five-cent glass of beer we should
vote to take barley out" said Sen
George w. Norris Rep), Nebras-
ka, who wanted barley to stay in.

That they drink more beer in hot

wish to keep them within the rules which

for the protection of those participating
in interScholaStic sports and to keep them
on high plane commensurate with the
development of character, which, after
all. is the chief work of the classroom and
the athletic field
Brawley high school has rectified what
ever errors resulted from the makeup of
last years championship football team
and nobody is more pleased to know that
it will be represented on the gridiron next
fall than Ell Centre football fans.

reinstatement. says, THE sores engender-
ed by the suspension of the local team
have been healed" There have been no
sores in Ell Centre, and we doubt if there
have been any in any other valley COM
munity, and there should not be in Braw-
ley. 1t is all water over the dam and is
best forgotten.
We hope for a continuation of the
friendly rivalry between all the high
schools in the valley, not only on the ath-
letic field but in every department of the
various institutions
