the price, now more or less indefinitely
set as 81 200 for the one war fare.
Pan-American Airways, which has
been conducting tests on transpacific
flights for several months, announced
Yesterday that its line to the Orient will
be opened next September. ready to car
ry passengers and freight No informa-
ton is given on the freight charges as
yet.
1t is not likely that there will be any
overcrowding of planes enroute to the
Orient, at least for a while, but there is
every reason to believe that hops from
the Pacific coast to Honolulu will be
well patronized, providing the rate is
anywhere within reason, and it will have
to be, Of course, if the company is to op-
crate.
There is food for thought in this de-
velopment of transpacific travel, partic-
ularly as it concerns the Pacific coast
The Atlantic was crossed by plane long
before the Pacific was, and the distance
across the former is much less than over
the latter. In the South Atlantic the
Zeppelin maintains a regular service to
made frequently.
With all the business that is transact
ed between American Atlantic coast cit
les and those in Europe, and despite the
fact that the Atlantic crossing has been
made many times, the Pacific is far
ahead of it insofar as establishment of a
regular line is concerned.
All of US can remember when Kings
ford-Smith's first trip over the Pacific
was hailed as a feat that astounded the
world. Next September we will see COM
mercial crossings established-proof be-
fore our own eyes that the world pro-
crosses rapidly.
The Pan-American Airways is a COM
mercial organization, in the business for
the money it can get out of it, if one
wants to draw hard and fast line, but
the American who cannot wish them all
the luck in the world, and who cannot
admire their courage and industry, is
lacking in something.

UNCLE wIGGILY AND HIS WIFE

Uncle Wiggily looked into the
kitchen where his wife and Nurse
Jane were washing and drying the
breakfast dishes.
Good -bye!" called the rabbit
gentleman.
"Good-byei" said Nurse Jane
catching hold Of the milk pitcher
by its nose before it could go roller
skating with the bread knife.
Where are you going?" asked
Uncle Wiggily's wife as she looked
at the clock to see if its face need
ed washing.
"Out to find an adventure" an
swered Mr.. Longears. Il hope l
find a jolly one"
Il hope so, too" Squeaked Nurse
Jane Being a muskrat lady that's
the way she talked.
Mrs. Longears watched her hus-
band hopping down the garden
path out through a hole in the
beck fence and over the fields TO
the woods. Then Uncle Wiggilys
wife dropped the dish towel and
said:
I'm going, Nurse Jane"
"Going where?" asked the musk
rat lady.
He'll Be Surprised
'To look for an adventurel" said
Mrs. Longears with a laugh. Il
don't see why Wiggy should be the
only on in this bungalow to have
adventures. I'm going out to look
for one myself. And when I come
back and tell him about it, Oh,
won't he be surprised"
Indeed he will" said Nurse
Jane, laughing Have you ever
gone adventuring, Mrs Longears?"
mo, but there must always be a
first time. you know"
"Oh. yes. But do you know how
TO look for adventures"
Goodness knows!" said Mrs.
Longears, Il have heard Wiggy tell,
often enough, how he finds adven-
lures. / don't believe it will be
hard for me TO find one"
II suppose not" agreed Nurse
Jane. We'll hop along. I'll fin

APPROVE RATE
Of COLLECTION
IN SALES TAX

SACRAMENTO, June 26. UR -
A tentative rate schedule for COL
lection of the three per cent retail
sales tax, giving the purchaser the
benefit of the "breakage' had the
approval of the state board of
equalization today. The proposed
ratios for payment of the tax were
submitted by retail merchants and
will be in general use throughout
the state when approved by agree
ment of all retailers
Citizens will benefit by the new
plan for tax collection in paying a
one cent tax where the ratio is
above so per cent but being ex-
empted when the ratio is below the
half cent fraction.
Tax payments would be made on
the following basis:
.01 to .14-no tax; Is to .49-.01; +;
50 to .83-02; "a to 1.16-.03; LIT
to 1.49-.04; $50 to 1896, etc.
The board discussed a proposal
by Chairman Ray L. Riley that the
state adopt the token" plan of
tax collection on amounts below Is
cents. The system is now in use in
Washington. Although the state
would not derive any additional re-
venue, as it collects its tax on gross
receipts, the use of tokens denoting
payment of tax would simplify COL
lection by retailers.
Essential foods will be exempt
from the new three per cent tax
rate, which becomes effective next
Monday, July /, provided Gov.
Frank F. Merriam signs the neces-
sary bill by that time.

MOST FANS SATISFIED

In the main, those who attend night
baseball here are perfectly satisfied with
the set-up which enables them to be en-
tertained for an hour or two any night
they so desire, at a nominal cost or at no
cost at all, if they feel that way about
it.
There have been a few, however, as
there always are, who want to know
what is done with the money collected
at the games. If the general rules of
human nature are followed in this in
stance, it is almost a certainty that the
Imperial Valley press., 1935-06-26
IMPERIAL VALLEY PRESS

inquirers are those who dodge when the
hat is passed.
In last nights Press the night league
gave the answer to the questionerS. As
balls, bats, gloves, services of umpires,
use of grounds etc. cannot be obtained
with air or some other free commodity,
it is only right that the upkeep of the
league should receive first attention
from the receipts. The players, even
though some of them are put to consid-
cradle expense to oppear in the lineup,
receive nothing for their services. They
perform for the love of the game.
The money, over and above the actual
expenses which must be cared for, is
used to assist children in need of nOur-
ishment and perhaps the attention of a
physician, dentist or occulist. The money
is handled through a so-called milk
fund" as the main part of the proceeds
is used to provide milk for needy child
rem. 1t is under the supervision of Guy
A. Weakley, superintendent of city
schools, fact which should satisfy even
the most skeptical that it is being hand
led correctly.
There is no set price which the specta-
tor is asked to put into the hat when it
is passed. If he feels he cannot honest
ly afford to contribute that is all right.
He is not to be insulted or made to feel
cheap. If he can contribute, he should
90 so with the satisfactory feeling that
he is only doing his duty toward the up
keep of clean, wholesome sport, and
through his aid he is probably giving
some kid a chance for better break in
life, and none of us, no matter what we
do with it, can spend money for better
purpose.
We believe the majority of baseball
fans feel that way about it, that they are
glad to contribute as much as they can
afford, and that while they may have a
particular team which is their favorite,
they are back of night baseball solidly
and they do not question the integrity
of those who are providing them with an
opportunity for entertainment.

WASHINGTON, June 26. = For
the second summer in succession
the pounding Of hammers, whine OF
saws and slap of troWel on mortar
is sounding in the White House.
This summers repairs and re-
building are not nearly so extern
sive as last years, but they are suf-
ficient to require closing of the
front east gates and erection of
high board fence around the circu-
lar White House walk at the kit
chen end Of the building.
This time the kitchen and culin-
ary departments are being fixed
up. Last summer it was the Presi-
Dental offices.
The main part of the White
House-the section the visitors see,
where formal functions are held
and the Presidents family visits
has changed little during the years.
But the business Of being Presi-
dent has grown so much that the
carpenters nowadays are always
just. few licks ahead of the grow
ing staff Of secretaries, stenogra-
pliers, clerks and apparently cooks,
walters, maids. etc.
The present rebuilding IS intend
ed to bring the kitchen and stor-
age parts of the house up to date
and to provide better working and
living quarters for the household
staff.
Visitors will not be barred from
the White House as they were last
year when the executive wing was
being remodelled.
The Soviet embassy here has TAX
en- a lot of kidding in diplomatic
circles for its very n-proietarian
quarters inherited from the old
czarist regime.
In these un-proletarian quarters,
the embassy gives very un-prole-
tartan parties. All this has brought
a number of Wisecracks from jok
ing members Of the diplomatic set.
Perhaps, however the trend back
to proletarian simplicity has set in.
The embassy now sends out its
press releases in plain, cheap enve-
lopes without even the formality Of
a printed return address. In one
corner is scraWled in blue pencil
the simple notation-"Soviet en-
bassy."
The senate has taken action to
prevent the American eagle from
suffering from the fate of the blue
eagle.
It approved a bill providing $l00
fine or six months Imprisonment
for anyone caught shooting, trans
porting or possessing a bald eagle.
The bald eagle is the bird shown
on the u. S. seal, coins and stamps.
Bald eagle penalties, it was not
ed, are less stringent than those
which futilely sought to protect
the blue eagle.

NEW YORK, June &c. - New
York's family hotels express a
white lawn tie gentility the modern
hoop-la has never absorbed. These
are inns with high ceiled rooms,
spacious lobbies and a plethora of
lump gilt mirrors, red plush fur
niture and occasionally one is dat
ed by a pull-the-rope-elevator.
Mostly they are on upper Broad
way and Central Park West al
though there are a few in the Ma
Olson Square area. The clientele IS
elderly and churchly, silhoQetts in
gray out Of a vanquished past. The
house detective, radio and tabloid
reporters are an unknown quantity.
All knew New York when. There
are among them a few lavender
and old lace ladies who circle the
park before sundoWn in those tiny
closed horse drawn cabs. Fading
and trembly with Camille-in-the-
last-act voices. Also a lobby
sprinkle of white haired men in
wheel chairs with gout.
After dinner they gather in the
music room for an orchestral con-
cert in outmoded evening clothes.
Their fixed incomes have had the
usual shrinkage, but they continue
to subscribe to the Theatre Guild
and every few years take one of the
Mediterranean cruises.
