Memorable
Event to
Them
By JEAN GREEN

Easter, aside from the fact
that is the day for first wear
ing the new spring togs, does
have a very important place
in the life of children.
The symbols and decorations
for Easter are distinctly child
ish ones - rabbits, chickens,
ducks, eggs, and SO forth.
Here in Washington, this takes
on an added significance because
of the egg roll on Monday which
no child should miss.
It is wisdom for mothers to let
children share in the preparation
for the Easter roll.
Dyeing eggs, decorating them in
geometrical designs, selecting and
filling the basket in which they
are to be taken are all jolly fun
and should be enjoyed to the
utmost.
DCCVA @&AVA0
Table decorations for the Easter
dinner and favorS can also be
made as their contribution to the
dinner.
A favorite stunt in making these
favors is to blow the shells, then
fill with melted sweet chocolate
and paint on the outside pic
turesque faces or figures.
If desired, the names of the
guests can be neatly printed on
the outside and used as place
cards.
Eggs that are hardcooked and
dyed, can, with the aid of paste,
paper, and crayonS, be converted
into rabbits, ducks, or other fig.
urtS. These are made even more
attractive if they are rested inside
Of fluted paper cups.
Many suggestions for the
Easter dinner have been published
this week in the Favorite Recipe
Column. Roast leg Of lamb or
baked ham seem to be the ira
ditional meats for the Easter
feast.
Eggs, also traditional, can be
featured for canapes or salad or
dessert.
# you are buying q ham for
your Easter dinner, you will find
many ways to utilize every scrap
Of it. The thinner slices can be
fried, the hook used with greens.
Eggs benedict make a perfect
Easter morning breakfast or lunch
and stuffed eggs are better than
they look when combined with
ham.
Use leftover ham in that South
ern favorite of ham with boiled
rice and gravy.
Ham With Rice and Gravy
Fry slice of ham in a skillet, or
broil under direct flame. Remove
from pan or broiler and brown 2
tablespoons drippings or fat in
which ham has been cooked; add
tablespoon flour and let it brown;
add / cup boiling water and stir
until smooth and not too thick.
Season with salt and pepper to
taste and let simmer 5 to Z min
utes. Serve ham slice on hot plat
ter with green string beans and
hot boiled rice: serve gravy on the
side or pour over rice on platter.
EGGS Benedict
6 slices boiled ham
3 English mullins or
6 rounds French toast
6 eggs
Hollandaise sauce
Saute ham slices in a little ma
zola until edges curl slightly. Place
q slice on each muffin half which
has been toasted. Poach eggs and
place on top of sauteed ham. Cover
with Hollandaise sauce and serve
very hot.
Fruited Ham Sandwich

or white bread and cover with
slices Of ripe banana. Spread Sec

ham and put sandwich together.

TRdNSIENTS FINDING
OTHER HAUNTS.

Peace officers from three southern
California and one Arizona county Fri
day night were unanimous in the opi-
mon that Los Angeles border blockade
against itinerant transients has reduced
southern CALIFORNIA; transient problem
by half or more. The opinion of the Off
GERS is interesting. because they are the
men who come into contact more than
any others with the transients. The vote
Of thanks they accorded Police Chief
James E. Davis of Los Angeles shows
where their sympathies are in the hula
baloo that has been created by activities
of the coast city's foreign legion"
The key to the problem was given by
Capt. c. B. Horrall, who presides over
activities of the blockade detail in the
southern area. The number of penniless
transients attempting to enter Califor-
MIA has dropped to a handful, Horrall
said, but there has been no concentration
of hoboes along the state lines. Yuma's
chief Of police supported Horrall in the
statement. In trip through the Yuma
"jungles" Friday afternoon, he said, he
saw only two transients. Reports from
Phoenix, further east, are that tran
sients are east-bound from there. 1t
would appear that there is little danger
Of a disastrous concentration of vagrants
in any far western state
1t may be that California, again. is
showing the way to the rest of the
nation in overcoming a national prob
lem. The countrys transient population,
admittedly, is the greatest bugbear of
relief and welfare organizations, as we'll
as in the never-ending battle against
crime The vagrants are going nowhere
in particular They are just moving
They have no idea what they will do
when they get there.
Certainly it would be easier to cope
with the problem if these people, charges
against society as they are, could be in
duced to remain in their original homes.
1t is not question of personal good, but
of the good of society, not for the good
of the individual, except as he is ben
Gifted through society as a whole.
Certain it is, too, that southern Cal
ifornia's relief bill has been slashed by
more than little in the last two weeks.
The slash is attributable directly to Los
Angeles hobo blockade.

IF WERE A BOY AGAIN
lRY Former Governor Richardson

If I were a boy again I would want to be
poor SO as to have to struggle and work for
success. I would prefer to attend school where
they had none of the easy methods so popular
today but where education methods were diff
ficult and to have teacher who would admin
lister the rod when necessary. I would want to
be raised in the country where people have time
to think I would have an ambition to remain
in the country and be farmer not too poor
and not too rich. Poor enough TO do some
manual labor and rich enough to have a few
good books and some time to devote to them.
The manual labor would insure good digestion,
the country life good health, the books content

slonally SO as to observe and marvel that some
people would consider the noise, the hustle the
troth, the mad rush, the pursuit of the frivolous
as a life worth living. 7 would keep out of
politics and refuse to hold office I would try to

THE PALO VERDE
FESTIVAL.

Ell Centro's rapidly growing annual
celebration, the Palo Verde Festival,
will be planned on a greater scale this
year than ever before. The festival last
year was an outstanding one, so out
standing that it came as a surprise to
many of those who participated in it.
More than anything else, it was the
forerunner of long sequence of such
festivals, each greater than the last one.
Before many years, perhaps, it will have
ceased to be purely an Ell Centro affair,
and will be for all of Imperial Valley.
One purpose, more than any other, is
served by the streets and beautiful gar
dens-something Ell Centre and the rest
of Imperial Valley has great need of.
1t proves that Identification by flowers
and shrubbery is possible here 1t gives
a focal point to efforts of the chamber
of commerce and individuals to make
FL Centro beautiful city, as well as
prosperous one. Above all, it marks an

NEW YORK
DAY by DAY
By O. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK Feb. 15-The come
back of Gertrude Lawrence in Lon
don is one of the greatest trriumps
over physical and financial collapse
and fading popularity recorded in
years. Valiant is the word for
Gertie! An avalanche of misfor-
tune struck her in a heap.
First her health buckled, neceSSi-
tating several operations and a
long siege in a nursing home. Then
her creditors closed in and every
thing had to be sold even to her
sentimental gift jewelry. She be-
came well enough to appear in two
or three plays, which were dismal
flops
Then her romance with Douglas
Fairbanks, Jr. took a turn to OBJ
livion, totaling up the mental dis
pair. She dWindled to a 94-pound
wisp. All over the city they whis-
pered she was washed up. Finis!
But now, three months later, she is
in a smashing co-starring success
With Noel Coward.
1t was with Coward she first
reached the heights. Again London
is at her feet with hosannahs for
her brilliant essaying of protean
roles, ranging from a cutlery cock
ney wench to a duchess. And the
most fashionable English magazine
votes her "the ten beSt-dressed Wo-
men in London"
CoWard's experiment with Miss
Lawrence is a presentation of three
one-act plays, with wide range of
subject matter. This trio is pro-
duced for one week. The following
week they appear in three other
playlets and the program alternates
thereafter from week to week. This
wise they are able to have two op-
ening nights in a period of eight
days. A business person, this ollie
tante Coward.
Since this column has veered over
to London, it may 2s well stick there
for the rest of the haul. Speaking
