WHY?

Death of Ed Bauer in the county hos
pltal on Tuesday Of this week, exposes
another one of those cases which make
the law-abiding citizen wonder what pro-
5 lection he has, not only against the dep
relations of criminals but against the
absolute dumbness of law enforcement
parole and probation officers
Bauer was a desperate criminal. Ar
rested at Calipatria on minor offense,
he was being brought to the jail here
when he jumped from a moving car in q
wild, and temporarily successful dash
for freedom. He was handcuffed at the
time but, at the cost Of great pain and
the sacrifice of considerable flesh, he
ripped the handouts from his wrists
while at liberty.
Cornered in a field Sunday afternoon.
he did not hesitate to leap into an irriga-
ton ditch, across which he swan, and
was running hard to retain his freedom
when an officers bullet cut him down.
If there was any mystery why a man
charged with a nominally slight offense
should take such chances it was cleared
up by check on Bauer's record.
This showed arrests in San Francis
co, Vancouver. Beaumont, Texas, Miami
and Jacksonville, Florida, Milwaukee,
Beverly Hills, New York, Los Angeles
and San Diego on charges ranging from
petty theft to burglary.
1t was not difficult for Imperial coun-
ty officers to dig up this information.
1t would have been revealed anyhow in
sthe course of routine, but was speeded
up by Bauer's desperate dash for hber-
ty.
The expose made valley officials, and
will make many citizens wonder why
San Diego officials could not have done
a little investigating. On February 8,
1935-less than three weeks before he
died-Bauer was given probation for two
years by San Diego officials, following his
arrest and conviction for burglary at
San Ysidro. That explained why Bauer
was so anxious to avoid the local jail.
What remains unexplained, though, is
why man with a record such as Bauers
was given probation? T he orderly
citizen wants to know why desperate
criminal whose record is so easily obtain
ed, should be turned loose to commit
more crimes. Bauer's case is only one
There are others equally as desperate as
he is, being turned loose every day.
Just to clinch the contention that
Bauer's case is not an isolated one there
is E. j. Ryan, sent to San Quentin a few
days ago for burglary. His record, OBJ
tanned as easily as Bauer S was, shows
that between September 20, 1921 and

asked the muskrat lady houSekeep-

Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy?'
"Why, yes" he answered. do
you want it to tie Baby Bunty on
her sled So when you give her an
other ride over the snow with jing-
ling bells, she won't fall Off"
mo, thank you, jamie, l don't
want the string for that, though
Baby Buunty did fall off her sled.
But I am not taking her for a ride
today
"Why not?' asked Nurse Jane.
''She can't yet walk on account OF
her sore leg where she slipped and
fell.

/ because this is the first day Of
March" /" said Mr.. Longears. 49,
~ don't see what that has to do
with it, spoke Nurse Jane.

"It's because of the March
Wind" said Uncle Wiggily. "This
is the first OF March. The winds
always blow hardest in March, for
then they blow winter away and
blow spring up here from the sun

ont for a ride on her sled the March
wind might blow her off. -
"Then what do you want with
the strong string?" asked the
muskrat lady.
ITO tie my own hat on my

she wears on the campus;
- how old and scruffed her
favorite sports shoes are. Doesn't
matter that her pet sweater is faded
from many washings, and that the
hat she pulls over her hair is q sight
to behold! When she dresses for the
week end, for an occasional holiday
or faculty tea she is as particular
about her appearance as her debutante
sister. Her clothes must be just right,
simple, but with certain Sophistica-
ton and decidedly chic.
The sort of dress she most often
chooses for her excursions into the
larger world Is OF bright silk or of soft,
gayly colored wool Her accessories
are extremely important. This season
she loves belts and has lots of them
TO vary her frocks. She likes little
round collars that give her an angelic
expression and big sleeves which carry
out the naive effect.
Today's dress is just what the young
girl likes for the more important occa-
Sions. She selects slate blue-pretty
trying for the older woman-but she is
sure it is becoming to her fresh young
face. She wears with it a suede belt,
dregs of wine, fastened with the big
silver hook and eye that Schiaparelli
uses. Or she may choose the same
frock in rust. most popular of all the
colorS this season. With it she wears
dull green or tawny brown.

DEAR MRS. POST: Please tell me
whether you. like other New
Workers, write simply New York on
an envelope, with no further expla-
nation Of its whereabouts? I think
the practice Is very presumptuous.
and it would be Just as sensible for
others TO omit the names Of States
following other large cities"
Answer: I agree that it would be
just as sensible. Chicago. st. Louis.
Detroit. Los Angeles. Philadelphia,
Boston would certainly be enough for
these and all the other great cities.
When there are several cities Of the
same name, then their States are OBJ
viously necessary. Or when the cities
are smaller than the leading ones.
Writing New York only once is not
presumptuous; the repetition OF the
same name Is the height of sense
lessness and waste effort. 1t would
be still more senseleSs to add the
State when writing in these cities or
their environS. I don't, however, sp-
prove Of town, because letter missent

THERE are coats and coats in
the shops just now. but the
coats that are most popular
with the greatest number OF
people are the moderately priced sport
coats that will serve for school, co..
lege. business and all-around casual
wear They are made of sturdy ma
terials in tweeds, herringbone stripes,
plaids and many novelty weaves in
bright and neutral colors, usually cur
with raglan shoulder and sleeves full
through the elbows. For the most
part they are warmly interlined, and
some are made of extra heavy ma
terial with plaid reverse side so that
they are lined with silk only to the
waist The majority of these coats
are unbelted, but among the more ex-
pensive ones you will find many with
leather belts that are very smart.
The points to look for in these coats
are the collars, which show great di-
versity; the pockets, which may be
vertical or diagonal Set-in or Of the
large patch variety. In many coats
the backs are cut straight, but in as
many others they have center seam,
and the material is on the bias, pro-
ducing the fishtail back that swings
out in loose ripples. This Is always
effective in plaids and checks.
THE three coats sketched show
three different necklines ard
other details of interest. The center
coat is an all-purpose coat that
knows how to take it" and has the
plaid reverse side spoken Of above. 1t
is well tailored and warm and is al
ready proving itself a popular num-
ber at budget price.
The coat at the left in the sketch
is of green fleece wool with wide
sleeves and square cut lines. 1t has
center back seam and Is lined
throughout with matching green
crepe. The brown and tan mixture at
the right specializes in a Barrymore
collar and big wooden buttons be-
tween the slot seams outlining a
graduated panel at the front; some
thing to make you look tall.
OFTEN the useful casual coat comes
~ with its own short jacketed suit
to wear beneath it. These three and
four piece ensembles are, of course,
higher in price. but they give you
much more for your money. A very
bold plaid coat which combines gray,
black and dark red, has jacket suit
Of wine red. This sort of thing gives
you many possibilities Of change.
One that can produce still more

just the type you wish for lunch or
dinner.
The drought that wrought such
havoc with the 1885 meat supplies
dealt q little lighter blow to chickens
and their ilk. Although poultry prices
have risen considerably, they have
never actually been neck and neck
with pork and beef in the race for
top money. This years poultry sup
ply is apt to be only fractionaliy less
than last year's-and you know the
answer to that question in the other
meat lines!
