What we need is an old-fashiOn-

Republican Party has such a man.
We don't need man who thinks

'He gave us some idea of what
he is going to do in his telegram to

American people that he is right.
The executive has a big job and
much power, too much even for

Mixture of Alcohol
With Auto Driving
Proves Expensive

SACRAMENTO, April 13.-Mix-
ing alcohol with gasoline proved
a costly experiment to California
motorists last year, according to
figures released today by depart
ment of motor vehicles.
Persons attempting to operate
vehicle while under the influ-
ence of Intoxicating liquor in 1885
paid S2Ol $500 in fines, l448 were
sent to Jail or road camps, and
1888 offenders lost their drivers
licenses. In 1884 drunk drivers
paid $14O,1O1.85 in fines for their
offenses, 778 were sent to jail
or road camps, and 2038 licenses
were suspended.
About rs percent of persons
convicted under vehicle code pro-
visions of driving while intoxicated
are unable to regain an operator
permit, according to Russell Bev-
ans. chief of division OF drivers
licenses. "The reason for this sit
uation is that persons so convicted
must prove financial responsibility
before a license can be reinstated
by department of motor vehicles,
and insurance companies are not
inclined to accept such risks. When
insurance is accepted, the rate in
variably is prohibitive to the aver
age vehicle operator"

VALLEY SHUN =
RELIEF ROLLS

Imperial Valley has a japanese
population of 2450 men, women
and children, none of whom are
dependent upon government for
help. There is no public relief
problem because the indigents are
taken care of by their own coun-
trymen. The bulk of the inhabi-
tants are thrifty, industrious
ranchers. If necessary, the mem
bers of an entire family work.
E. K. Sasaki, secretary of the
Ell Centro japanese association,
whose territory extends from See
ley to Holtville, and Imperial to
Calexico, stated that none of the
county's Nipponese population is
requiring public aid. Even when
the depression was most noticeable
few Japanese were out of work,
Sasaki said.
Records of the Imperial county
SRA office show that no japanese
has ever been on relief in this
county, according to William S.
Fitzer, director in charge.
Although no demands are made
for participation in the expendi-
ture of charity funds, the Japan
ese contribute literally to worthy
causes-the most recent example
being the whole hearted response
to the Red Cross appeal for east
ern flood sufferers.

place of black sack coats with grey striped
trousers, and either tuxedo coats or mess
jackets or white dinner coats take the place
of summer daytime flannels.
To certain degree the dress of the bride

from dress of greatest formality, with many

not need tail coat nor cutaway coat, but
he will need dinner coat tuxedo. He will
need two sack suits - not necessarily new,
but good as new - and two pairs of shoes to
