One explanation of it may be found
in the belated story as to what really
happened to the White Sulphur rec
concentrations at the White House.
You may recall that the White
House spokesman last indicated several
weeks ago that the suggestions were
still at the bottom of the pile Of
President Roosevelt's incoming mail,
The fact appears to be that Mr.. Roose-
welt read the recommendations almost
in full in the New York Times the
day after they were submitted. There
was, therefore, no reason why he
should go to the bottom of his letter
pile for them.
At least, that explanation is current
among the business SpokeSmen here
and is considered sufficient by them.
1t is. in fact, the real reason why
they did not feel hurt at the seeming
slight paid them by Mr.. Roosevelt's s
letter filler.
Another reason is that the relief
program which Mr. Roosevelt sub
mitted to Congress is small begin
ming of what the White Sulphurites
recommended, l. E., Federal withdrawal
from relief activities.
Council Important.
More revealing is the fact that Mr.
Roosevelt has superseded the White
Sulphur contacts by a set-up of his
own choosing. 1t is Uncle Dan Roper's
| Commerce Department Business Ad-
visory and Planning Council.
You neUer hear OF the council
because it shunS publicity. Yet it
has been uorking more energetically
OF late at serious studies Of NeU
Deal agencies and talking ouer
mutual problems ,Uith Mr.. Roose-
UeltS men. 1t has been especially
actiue in r. F. c.. F. E. r. A. and
N. R. A. And it is composed OF
most OF the same business leaders
who attended the White Sulphur
Springs meeting.
In view of this thoroughly laudable
cooperation, the business spokesmen
are inclined to be reconciled for the
time being to New Deal necessities.

LIQUOR SALE NEAR
LIBRARY SCORED
DR.. BoWerman Protests
License Grant to New
Establishments.

Protesting strongly against the IL
censing of additional liquor estab-
lishments in the immediate vicinity
of the Public Library, DR.. George F.
Bowerman. public librarian, told the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to-
day there has been an increase in
the number of intoxicated persons
elected from the building since liquor
became legal early last year.
The statement was presented by DR..
Bowerman in opposing liquor selling
license for the establishment Of Sam
uel J. Ally at 8O4 K street, directly
opposite the main entrance to the
Central Library Building. The protest
was filed under instructions from the
Board of Library Trustees.
Decision Deferred.
The A. B. c. Board did not at once
act on the case, but deferred Judg-
ment to enable each member to make
a study of all facts in the case.
George w. Ofutt, A. B. c. chair
man, stated, however, there was a
question in the minds Of the board
members as to whether it would be
appropriate to issue the license be-
cause of the number Of licenses al
ready outstanding for places close to
the library and because of the charac-
ter of the neighborhood where there
is a public library patronized by hun
dreds Of children as well as adults.
Pvt. E. A. Fuller, No. 2 police pre-
cinct. who attended the hearing, teSti-
fed in support of the statement of DR..
Bowerman as to arrests for drunken
ness on or near the library premises.
Previous Stand Recalled.
DR.. Bowerman recalled that the
Board of Library Trustees last March
had gone on record opposing the
granting of licenses to places close to
the library and its branches. He sub
mitted a list of 16 establishments
located within one block of the Cen
trail Public Library which already are
licensed to sell alcoholic beverages.
He emphasized that 9 of the 16
places have licenses to sell hard liquor
He told the board that since last
March there had been increasing diff
ficulties with intoxicated and dis
orderly persons in and about the
library, and explained that the one
policeman assigned for duty there
from 1870 to 9 pm. had found the
situation too much for one man. DR.
Bowermau contended that greater
police protection was needed.

But TO the average murderer-the fell

We are heartily in favor, however, of

The state tried them under its new, So

How any group of men and women
could see any reason for mercy or con-
sideration for these rats is beyond us.
There existed not the slightest excuse or
justification for the attack. 1t was the
'law of the jungle" and should have been
met with jungle punishment. That isn't
a nice thing to write, but the crime these
four committed was not a mice" crime.
We had been watching the case, hop
ing against hope that the jury would see
the light and impose the extreme penal
ty on these fellows. Such action would
have made others of their kind think con-
siderably before they followed their ex-
ample
AS it is, the jury's verdict will hard
ly deter any others so inclined. 1t might
have meant little extra backbone to
have brought in the death penalty in
this case and it is pity the jury couldn't
muster it up.
Unless we are mistaken, a Negro is now
awaiting execution at San Quentin, be-
cause in the course of a hold-up, he
forced his victim to travel few blocks

his case considered the few blocks of

extreme penalty Compared to the four
scoundrels given life terms, this Negro

UNCLE WIGGILY'S MERRY
GO ROUND

When Uncle Wiggily hoped out
of bed in his hollow stump bunga-
low one morning, the jolly old rab-
bit gentleman was SO lame and
stiff that he could hardly move.
''Ouch! Ow! Wow!" he cried
as he moved one paw after another
and felt pains running up and
down inside him as if playing tag.
What s the matter?'' asked his
wife from the next room, where
she was just getting up
Ibid I fall out of bed in the
night?" asked the rabbit gentle
man.
"If you did you must have fallen
out so softly that I didn t hear
you," answered Mrs. Longears.
"Well, if I fell out, I fell out
hard" spoke Uncle Wiggily II
am very lame and stiff. But per-
haps I didn It fall out of bed. OH -
he suddenly cried
- Another pain?' asked his wife
Adventuring
"Just a little one,p replied the
husband rabbit. "But the reason
I cried out was that I remembered
what makes me so lame and stiff
It is because the March Wind blew
me up and blew me down yester-
day. I'll be all right in a little
while as soon as I get cup of car
rot coffee. Then I'll go out adven-
turing. That will take the sore
ness and stiffness out Of me that
the March Wind blew in"
'Oh, Wiggy You aren't going
adventuring again, are you?' ask
ed the rabbit lady wife.
Certainly I am, my dear" he
answered politely.

What Chamber
Does For City
...h l00E

March l, 1885
Mr.. Allen Scott,
Imperial Valley Experimental
Station
NIeloland, California
Dear Mr.. Scott:
1t has frequently been suggested
the great desirability of discovering
or developing an edible bean which
could be planted after the lettuce
harvest, say in the month of March
or April, and mature in early fall or
midsummer months, the land to
be then replanted to lettuce.
There are, of course, number Of
beans available for summer plant
ing, but they are good only for fer
tilizer
Has consideration been given by
the experiment station to such a
summer bean which might have a
food and commercial value? We
think the subject is one worthy OF
consideration, and if the matter has
not yet been brought to your at
tention, will you not give it some
thought Such a bean, produced in
the summertime, would add very
materially to our agriculture here,
for it's dollar return and for the ben
eft that such a leguminous crop
would have to the soil, which would
later be planted to lettuce.
Very truly yours,
ROBERT HAYS,
Secretary Manager

GOLD PR|CE:
AGAIN SCARS

LONDON, March 2. UP)-Gold
again scared to record high to-
day. silver making siX-year high
and the pound sterling dropped to
a record low in terms Of the de-
valued American dollar. Speculat-
ors repeatedly Withdrew large sums
from London.
Sharp and almost sensational de-
chnes in the pound, both in dollar
and franc terms, continued TO cause
worry over the future Of gold bloc
currencieS.
There was no evidence of oper-
alton of either the American or
British control funds.
British leaders seemed unperturb-
ed by the decline in the pound
which would give the country an
advantage in trade In Paris, how
ever, the situation was seen as dan
gerous. If the decline should gain
such headway that the British
control could not check it when it
considered the time ripe to inter-
vene, the gold bloc might be forced
into devaluation, it was said.
Rumors were circulated that the
United States, hampered by Brit
ain S trade advantage, might de-
value the dollar further.
The American monetary policy is
still on a 24-hour basis, according
to recent statement by Secretary
of the Treasury Morgenthau, and
tie President has the power to de-
value the dollar further to so per
cent of former parity That means
the United States could raise its
gold price to $4134. The rumors on
that score were discredited gener-
ally here.

What else will you do?' asked
Mrs. Longears.
Il don't know yet, " he answer
ed. But as he looked out Of the
window and saw the dust blowing
and the dried leaves swirling in
the strong March Wind. Uncle Wig
gily winked one eye, he twinkled
his pink nose upside down and he
said to himself: u know what I
am going to do, but it is a secret!'
Then he hoped out of bed,
dressed. drank some hot carrot cof-

sheet from the clothes basket. Co
ing out the back cellar door, he took
two clothes poles from the yard.
Then he hoped as fast as he could
to the frozen Duck Pond. AS the
animal children were all coasting
down hill the rabbit gentleman
had the pond to himself.
Makes Sail
"The March Wind is blowing
fine!' he said. q will make my
self another skate sail, like a kite
and Ill go whizzing around the
pond so fast as never was. - Quick
ly he fastened two clothes poles to-
gether in the shape of a kite
cross. On this frame he tied the
bed sheet for a sail On his paws
Uncle Wiggily strapped his skates
Then, holding the kite sail behind
his back, the bunny gentleman
stood up on the ice.
Along came the March Wind
putting and blowing and bowling
with glee The Wind pushed on
The bunny's sail 1t pushed him
around the frozen pond, faster and
faster.
All of a sudden the animal child
rem, coming from the coasting hill
saw Mr.. Longears, gliding around
and around on his skates with the
Wind blowing on his skate sail.
He was circling the pond.
"Oh, it's Uncle Wiggily's merry
20 'round!" barked Jackie Bow
wow "On your sleds, everybody
Fasten the ropes. Hicth on We II
have a merry 60 round with himl 3"
And while Jackie, on his sled, held
to the bunny gentleman's coat
tails. the other animal children on
their sleds, hitching one behind the
other had a fine merry 90 round
ride.
SO everybody was happy and If
the mouse trap doesn't catch the

HOW ABOUT CLEANING UP?

The suggestion was made this week at
q meeting Of a local organization by DR..
Warren F. Fox, city health officer, that
now is the opportune time for a real
cleanup of Ell Centro-a suggestion that
should be given serious consideration by
local authorities and residents.
Following the recent heavy rains and
the usual winter accumulation Of trash,
there is a plenty Of need for cleanup
that will really do the job.
The suggestion included the proposal
10 solicit the cooperation of various or-
ganizations, city and county officials,
merchants who own truck and the gen.
eral public.
There have been clean-ups in the past
which were sort of "hit or miss" with
few responding to the idea but many
others holding aloof from it.
In comparatively short time San Dl-
ego will be opening its exposition, which
Is expected to draw thousands from all
parts of the country. Many Of these vls-
iiors will come to San Diego by way Of Ell
Centro and it will be to this city's ad-
vantage to present the best appearance 1t
possibly can Travellers remember
dirty city and shun it in the future, as we'll
as urging their friends to do the same.
On the other hand, a clean city is al
ways IN 1Of q DOOSI, WHICH HelpS us JUS
mess to considerable extent.
At present the suggestion is only
suggestion. 1t is too good, however, to
let it fall by the waysde. Perhaps the
chamber of commerce could get back OF
the idea, or a general committee of cit
izens representative of all organizations.
No matter who sponsors it, the cleanup
should be undertaken and put through
with a flourish and with results
