NEW YORK WELCOMES
ITS HOMECOMING HERO

There was a great waving of hands
and display of gay cOlors when New
York welcomed back its erstwhile play
boy mayor, the unlamented Jimmy
Walker of silk hat and immaculate spats.
There was a brass band and welcoming
delegation-but it was all unofficial,
Neither the city of New York nor
Tammany Hall sent any aides o
greet the one-time darling of New York.
Jimmy Walker came home, wisecrack-
ing as usual, to city with raised eye
brows
Unexplained were the reasons for jim
my's resignation under fire, his sudden
departure for England, his over
lengthy stay abroad when he professed
distaste at foreign surroundings, and the
million dollars which passed through his
bank accounts. His private financial
agent, who hasn't allowed himself to be
lured near New York for three years,
still refused in Mexico to tell the source
of the million.
No wonder New York raised its eye
brows.
The American public, in New York or
Podunk. clings to the Old-fashioned the
ory that its public men should be above
suspicion. Politics being what they are,
suspicion often is guided with malicious
hand at some politically Objectionable
figure, but even that man has a chance
to tell his side of the story. Jimmy
Walker has kept still. If it's nobody's
business, Jimmy has no place in public
life. If he cOvets further public consid-
Grafton, he owes it to the people upon
whom he depends to clear up the mys-
terry.
On the other hand, the part played by
New York officials and New York news
papers is not a cOmmendable one. The
city refused to send a greeter to meet its
former mayor. Yet the city has not cast
any stain on Walkers shield. There have
been no reasons advanced for his hur-
ried departure from Gotham. The news
papers make much ado about Walkers
mysterious actions, yet none of them
have turned up any answer to the mys-
terry. Perhaps they do not know the an
swer If they do, however, they are fail
ing miserably in duty to their readers
when they do not tell it.
Jimmy Walker has left much to the
imagination, but so have the city and the
newspapers. Somebody's wrong, and it
seems to be all of them

IMPERIAL VALLEY
MUST BUILD HOMES

III. I. Nelson hit the nail on the head
when he said there "are hardly sufficient
units to house the present population" in
Imperial Valley. The man who is man.
ageI of financial relations for the South
ern California division of Federal Hous-
ing Administration evidently has gone
pretty thoroughly into the housing stu
alton in the valley.
Whether building is financed with pri-
vate capital or with the government
guaranteed money made possible to
builders through the housing admins
tration, Imperial Valley must build!
Homes are at a premium. The constant
increase in population will boost the
need to a new peak in the next few
months. For the family which desires to
live in its own home, or for the person
who wishes to build as a business in
vestment, there is no greater opportunity
than in the field thrown wide open
through efforts of the housing admins
tration.
Building must and will boom in I'M
perial Valley, but it will not be boom
leaving in its wake disastrous results.
There is nothing of the mushroom in the
valleys growth. 1t is something that has
been in the making for years. 1t may
be rapid, but growth has been and will
continue to be sound. The same is true
in a greater or lesser degree in every
agricultural community, where develop
ment is predicated upon wealth taken
from nature itself. Any building cam
paign in Imperial Valley is a campaign
of insurance for the future
Regardless of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration, the need is here The ad-
ministration just came along at an op-
perfume time, offering nedeed financial
assistance without too great penalties for
borrowing. Under terms of its housing
loans, almost any person of sound stand
ing, without going through lengthy red
tape can obtain needed assistance at low
interest rates amortized over long per-
iod of time The program is made pos
sible because the 'o9r is guaranteed by
the government.
Ell Centre, during October, demon
strated the impending increase in build
ing. Permits for building and repairing
during the month totaled S13,1O7 against
$4708 for the same month last year. The
increase was healthy, following the nor
NAL trend. In these figures is the shadow
of the future

AMERICAS GOING WEST,
Mr.. GREELEY

When Horace Greeley penned one of
the most famous pieces of advice in the
history of the English language, GO
west, young man, go west" he was in
keeping with his time. He was more than
that, though. He was also several gen.
erations ahead of his time.
There was no greater ground then for
individual opportunity than the west.
There is no more promising land now for
all kinds of opportunity, individual and
corporate, than the west. Imperial Val
ley and its golden promise is merely a
part of the great field for expansion
west of the Mississippi river.
A recapitulation of western develop
ment, or development in California alone
during the past five years would show
staggering progress. The most recent
item is proposed construction of
$7,000,000 General Motors plant at Los
Angeles. 1t is only drop in the bucket.
America is moving west! More SLOW
ly than formerly, perhaps, but the west
ern seaboard is advancing toward its
place as an equal in all lines to the more
populous east.
Men and business still can grow up
with the country.

cat hops out and ambles across the
stage. That act should never die.
An authoritative story of FRITZ
Scheff and her most popular song,
Kiss Me Again" AS all know, the
song was written by Victor Herbert
especially for her. Several days
before the premiere he played it
over and she did not care for 1t.
A temperamental cyclone resulted.
She thought the range too great.
He was adamant. Oscar Hammer
stein, seeing a postponed opening,
suggested compromise. She would
sing it the first night and if it did
not click it would be tossed out.
Petulantly, she agreed. The rest is
history. She sang the song and
stopped the show for 13 minutes.
After many encores the audience
yelled for Herbert and. taking Frit-
zi'S hand, he advanced TO the foot
lights. When quiet came, the act
ress looked up coyly at her COM
poser and cooed Kiss me again!"
He did, and they were fast friends
until his passing.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. /. (U.R)-The
house that Jack built might easily
be the mansion of Edward Everett
Horton out in San Fernando Val
ley.
Beneath the veneer of professional
pollity lies the soul of a builder
who is a pain in the neck to archl-
tects.
Ten years ago the housing ques-
ton became acute for Eddie and
his mother. His brother, Winter,
who doubles in brass as his man
ager-agent, bought six acres OF
land which Eddie promptly dubbed
'Belleigh Acres" for the proper old
English touch.
First Plan Simple
First plan was for a simple build
ing, rectangular, with a four-car
garage. Eddie should have realized
sooner that he owned only two
cars.
With all that space, he convert
ed the garage into a huge living
room. This was bad mistake, be-
cause the dining room was upstairs
So he built an annex for a kitchen
and diner
About this time Eddie acquired
two early American fireplaces So
he built an entrance hallway to the
living room, and added another
| living room at the other end.
Room to Fit Rug
Then Eddie found a bargain rug.
Unfortunately, there wasn't room
big enough to lay it, so he built
another room.
Belleigh Acres was getting crowd
ed. He bought his neighbor's two
acres, complete with chickens. The
poultry, moved to the rear of the
estate cried for companions, so
Eddie bought two cows. That call
ed for a barn. And with so much
building going on, woodworking
shop became a necessity.
One thing led to another until
today he has % rooms in old Horton
manse, and there's still eight acres
to go.
MY chief difficulty" Eddie COM
planned, rs obtaining the necessary
financial cooperation from my
banker-manager- brother. He does
MT share my enthusiasm. In fact
ne is Indifferent. He probably does
Mt understand me-"
