With the exception Of Thursdays squirt,
however, the market was extremely dull and
inactive. In fact, the indications given by
volume of trading were inconclusive, and not
subject to very favorable Interpretation.
Thursdays activity may have been mostly
short covering.
Furthermore, the stocks which were most
active did no better than average.
Still, it can be said that nine of the dozen

Bruce Cation Says:>>
Trust in Our Leaders Should Be Restored

When the nation again returns
to what passes for normal, after
the excitement of the campaign,
it might spend little time repair
ing some of its shattered faiths and
loyaltieS.
In some ways the most expensive
thing about the last few years has
been not the money that has gone
down the sink. but the dismaying
amount of bitter and unceasing
criticism of men and institutions i'll
which Americans had always pre-
viously placed confidence.
The campaigns only brought this
to head. Some of it grew out OF
the depression and some OF 1t was
a hangover from the campaign of
1892 But wherever it came from
and however it was moCivated, the
net result cannot be anything but
very bad for us.
For example: any great nation of
today is bound to look for a good
part of its leadership TO the men
who control its financial institu-
tions. AS modern society is Or
ganized, it cannot do anything else.
And how stands our confidence in
bankers, these days?
For years we have heard them
denounced up, down, and cross
wise as money changers" as men
who need watching. as people who
blindly led us into ditch and
made us wait there, helpless, until
the government hauled us out.
Perhaps, then, our intellectuals
are in better case Not at all. Have
not we heard brain truSters' ex-
coriated as vain and erratic theore-
ticians, untrustworthy beyond belief
and so impractical and childlike
that it actually has been mark
against the administration that it
took counsel with them? Where,
oh where is our old respect for col
lege professors?
How, then, about political lead
ers? Surely they do not share the
unspeakable defects Of bankers and
professors? Alas, they are still
worse. We have been assured over
and over again that the bureaucrat
is the worst of all public enemies;
that politics is unworthy of our
Imperial Valley press., 1936-12-01

faith and that no political promise,
no campaign summons to cause
deserves the slightest trust.
Well, may we fall back on our
leaders of business and industry?
A hundred voices declare that they
are pitiless and crafty exponents of
economic royalisrn," prepared to
grind our faces in the dirt If we
give them a chance. For years the
sky has fairly rung with denuncia-
tions of them.
You could go on in this vein for
half an hour. There is hardly a
group or an institution. of the sort
to which we ordinarily look for
leadership, that has not been under
the most bitter attack for months
and years
If we believe half that we have
been told. we can only assume that
we are lost souls and that there is
no hope for the republic.
With the campaign out of the
way, we may be able to get back
to a sane viewpoint on these mat
ters. 1t is highly important that we
do so.
If we don't, we simply are paviIiT
the way for some INSCRIPTIONS,
self-seeking demagog to come in
and put the fetters on our wrists.

Other Editors Say
Is THE EMERGENCY OVER?
New York Times)

Our Washington dispatches report that Pres
ident Roosevelt is considering plans Wnlch
would bring the whole question OF government
al reorganization Squarely before the new con-
gress His purpose would be to rearrange the
activities of the huge Federal establishment oh
functional" basis, py consolidating ana trans
ferring bureaus by deeting useless or outmoded
units perhaps even by mating changes In some
of the regular cabinet positions. For more than
twenty years-in fact, since President Iatt rals-
ed the question in message TO congress IN
l9l2-the desirability OF real ShaKe-up III
Washington has been evident. The regular de-
partnents of the government are haphazardiy
planned for much Of the work they are called
upon to handle. On top OF them In recent
years, has been built vast supersructure OF
new alphabetical agencies A thorough gong
reorganization of the entire machine would not
only save money; it would provide more efhcient
management of essential public services
What specific Changes can most profitably
be made the President himself is probably not
in a position to say at present. But If he has
thought much about the problems, he has doubt
less recognized that the starting point for the
whole discussion lies in the answer to these
questions Is the emergency over? Has point
been reached at which the government can
safely begin TO dispense with the extraordinary
powers given it by congress in the dark days
of the depression? If the answer Is yes, then
many of the new alphabetical agencies can
promptly be eliminated; others can be COM
bined with the regularly established departments;
lack of coordination between the oldline bureaus
and the newcomers be repaired; projects
which essentially in the nature OF stop-gaps
can be abandoned; unexpected balances" can
be Cancelled and reorganization can proceed
along a broad front. But if the answer Is no,
then any repair work undertaken in 1897 must
necessarily be limited and pkcenieRly -
The whole question of Reorganization cannot
be approached realistically without first decid-
ing whether we still face crisis or whether we
have emerged from one In a very fundamental
way the Presidents answer to that question Will

HOW ABOUT SOME
CULTURE OLYMPICS?

The Olympic Games unquestionabiy
have raised the level of athletics and
health in this and other countries.
That this type of competition might
be applied to mental as well as physical
pursuits has been the theory of pro-
minent Philadelphia philanthropist,
Samuel S. Fleisher. He has SO impressed
others with his views on the subject that
a Couture Olympics" is soon to be con-
Quoted by the University of Pennsyl-
vania School of Education.
Purpose of the movement, which Its
sponsors hope will spread throughout
the nation, is to discover and encourage
children and adults who have latent tai
ents in cultural pursuits. Awards may
be in the form of scholarships
Ii will be interesting to follow the
career of the Culture Olympics." Per-

their husbands favorite movie actress.
1T may burn you up," he says,
when he goes out of the theater raw
ing about Mae West or Myrna 10y or
joan Crawford, but it Is q cue for
you. After all, you can change your
self quicker than you can change a
man. A husbands movie crush is an
indirect way of informing you about
a few details, such as how he likes to
see clothes worn, and hair dressed, and
q woman's figure, and whether he likes
his answers snappy or meek and mild. I"
This tip sounds like q sure thing
from one in the know, but Heaven help
any woman who plays it In the fond
belief that her husband wants to see
her acting up at home the way celluloid
ladies do on the screen.
Of COURSE, for every rule for play
ing the matrimonial game there
are q thousand exceptions, and not
even Peggy Joyce knows all Of them.
But observation shows that men do
not want their wives to be like their
'pashes" any more than they want
restaurant cooking at nome. Every
man likes now and then to sup on
lobster Newburg and champagne, but
for his daily diet he prefers roast
beef. medium rare, and potatoes.
Similarly he likes to feast his eyes
occasionally on Miss America" ap-
pareled like Solomon in all his glory,
but for q daily companion whom he
has to look at every morning give him
his plain Maria in clean, pink bunga-
low apron.
In proof Of this you have only to
note the fact that, while the first thing
that any man ever asks about girl
Is concerning her looks. and while all
men are theoretically beauty worship
ers, most Of the wives you know would
never take q blue ribbon for their pull
chritude. They were not picked out

for their faces. nor their style, nor
their clothes. The truth is that while
men Like to look at q living picture
they are generally willing to let SOME
other man possess it and pay for its
framing.
Hence doubt extremely If any wife
could improve her amateur standing
BY trying to understudy the profess
sional beauties Of the screen. don't
think that pasting on false eyelashes
and getting o freak bob and making
a clothes horse Of herself will help q
wife to keep her husband in love with
her.
once heard q brilliant man say to
q brilliant woman: There Is nothing
I enjoy more than a conversation with
you. You stimulate me and keep me
on my tiptoes, but wouldn't be mar
ried to you for anything on earth. I
don't want q wife who Is more intelli-
gent than am and with whom would
always have to be on a strain to keep
up with and Of whose criticism would
be afraid. Nor do want to spend my
evenings discussing abstruse subjects
with my wife. I want wife who will
think I am an oracle and who will
babble soothingly about the baby's new
tooth and what the neighbors are
doing, and who won't require me to
use more than q half Of q lobe Of my
brains"
So ! opine, taking these things into
consideration, that the reverend gen.
tleman's theory of wives managing
their husbands by initiating movie
stars won't work. They can't do It, in
the first place, and. in the second
place, husbands couldn't stand 1t II
they did.
