Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

Bathing-suit: That which covers
a girl about as effectively as a
polite hand covers a yawn.
Yes, Prunella, you can get a
fair-minded man to go $3.50 with
you on everything, unless you ex-
pect him to do his share Of the
listening.
In the life of a woman celebrity.
a husband occupies about the
same important position as the
vice presidential candidate in a
national election.
Women who win at love always
do SO by instinct. The girl who
has the brains to reason out a
system for catching and holding
the men never seems to have the
ability to practice it.
It takes an awfully big man to
own up to a woman that he was
Just a little bit at fault in a quar-
rel.
You can do almost everything,
these marvellous days, just by
pressing a button, except start a
mans heart going-or stop a
woman's tongue.
Love is that temporary exalta-
ton which makes you feel that
nothing which has gone before
was worth while, and that moth
ing that may follow will matter.
The average brides reluctance
at using the embroidered towels
and the wedding silver sometimes
causes her husband to wonder if
she Is saving them for another
life or for another husband.
The recent depression brought
many straying husbands back to
their wives and many flirtatious
wives back to the arms of their
husbands. You never know how
great a thing real love is, until
you haven't anything else in the
world.

Men Once Ate Other Men; Survival of
the Fittest

Without slavery there would have been no
leisure, no thinking class, and without think
ing class there never would have come machin-
ery-those slaves of iron and steel that freed the
slaves of flesh and blood
Before organized slavery came to protect the
life of the slave, because he was property, the
rule among men was cannibalism.
Men ATE their captives for centuries before
they realized they were worth more alive, and
made slaves of them.
You are told truly that every successful race,

PALM SPRINGS

There is no need to make the
trek to Africa to know the fascina-
tion and sweet solitude of the des-
ert, or find the beauty of desert
oasis. We have all these things
right in southern California.
Long before Palm Springs, In
dio and La Quinta were discovered
by the movie moguls, wise travel
ers knew of the beauty of these
desert places and visited them
every winter. Now the whole world
Is fast discovering these resorts as
being ideal for a winter vacation
that is different.
We say "the whole world ad-
viSedly, for each year more and
more people are coming to Amer
lea from abroad to find out the
benefits and beauties of it's vaca'
tion resorts.
Palm sheltered oases, a pano-
rama Of intensely blue sky, color
full desert flowers, all backed by
towering mountains-theSe are
the attractive features of the des-
ert resorts of southern California.
Palm Springs is on the western
rim of the Colorado desert of Cali
fornia, a real oasis on a real
desert. Native palm trees make
groves in the canyons.
Tall Mt. Jacinto shelters the
region so that there are none of
the hot dusty winds that this
writer has encountered in the
Sahara and other North African
desert regions.
There is plenty of sightseeing to
do around Palm Springs. Four
miles from the village is Palm
canyon, which together with Muir,
ray and Andreas canyons, forms
a wonderland filled with thousands
of prehistoric palms.
These canyons with their rip
pling brooks, Tahquitz canyon
with its majestic rock formations
and splashing waterfall, all offer
legend, romance and conjecture.

Casting Off the Yoke

The fierce determination of the struggling colonies of
America to throw off the yoke of yrannous government
was expressed in the adoption one hundred and sixty
years ago today of the Declaration of Independence
1t is fitting that Americans should on this ami
Uersary celebrate the action of their fOrefathers
and Nth the celebration reneIU the determination
to adhere to the Government of freedom instituted
as a result of Declaration.
When the colonists demonstrated that the Declaration
could be made effective with the backing of those who
would be citizens and not subjects they inspired the
peoples of many nations to adopt and follow similar
course.
In recent years. however we have seen many of these
peoples yield their hard-won freedoms.
They have sacrificed their rights citizens to the
ambitions of individuals and groups.
AND WITH THE SACRIFICE THEY HAVE
BECOME THE VICTIMS OF OPPRESSION AND
TYRANNY EVEN MORE TERRIFYING THAN THAT
BY KING GEORGE.
This course of oppression has not been stopped.
There are those who believe that it be directed
against our country.
THERE ARE THOSE WHO SEEK TO DESTROY
THE BENEFITS CONFERRED UPON AMERICANS
BY THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE AND
BY THE CONSTITUTION WHICH FOLLOWED IT
AND MADE EFFECTIVE THE PROGRAM OF THE
DECLARATION
A tyrannicaI government is Just as offensive to
Americans if it is set up 1Uithin our country as
uUas the tyranny from without UUhich Americans
found so repugnant lUhen they struggling for
q Likelihood in scattered UiLLageS.
Those who would promote oppressive central gov
ernmen in America must be blind to the determination
of the great mass of our present citizens to maintain in
security the birthright which comes to from our
fathers.

On the report that Represent.

corridor outside his door.
His usual hospitality seemed to
have petered out. There were no
bottles handed out and in lieu of
chairs the boys sat on papers on
the floor.
Two Capitol policemen stood
guard at the door. One said:

FDA Saves $270,90l
For Regions Farmers

The Farm Debt Adjustment Sec
ton of the Resettlement Admins
tration, through friendly advice and
the cooperation of volunteer coun-
ty advisory committees, obtained
debt reductions totaling $4,000
for farmers in Region w of the
Resettlement organization during
the past four months.
This saving was revealed in a re-
port recently prepared by W. Kerr
Scott, of Raeilgh, N. c., regional
chief of the FDA service. The re-
auctions in practically all cases
were obtained for farmers threaten
ed with immediate foreclosures, and
their debts were adjusted in such
manner as to allow them to keep
their homes and farms.
The total for the five states of
Region Nv does not include COM
.plete figures for Tennessee and
Kentucky, but savings effected for
the farmers of the other states were
as follows: North Carolina, 1884,
s74; Virginia, $61,77o, and West
Virginia, 1926. A total of B.
GA cases still pending is also re-
ported. The total indebtedness in
all cases adjusted to date was ST.
4S9,698. The adjustments have re-
seulted in tax payments totaling
1919 that otherwise would have
remained delinquent. Farms in
volved totaled 46,225 acres.
Regional Chief Scott, in making
his report, praised the work of the
county FDA advisory committees
"They have given freely of their
time, without pay, to help their
neighbors save their homes" he
said. He also expressed a%pprecia-
ton of "the fine response of credi-
tors in helping hard-pressed farm
ers out of their financial difficult
ties, and making it possible for
them to pay out"
