The Supreme Court was not an is
sue in the campaign-those who
thought the President would speak in
favor of measures limiting the tri-
bunal's powers were mistaken. Like
wise, the Court has been on vacation
and out of the headlines. But when
it convenes again it will pass on a
number of vital measures.
On the docket is the new Frazier
Lemke Farm Mortgage Moratorium
law. The first law was declared I'M
constitutional-the new law was de-
signed to overcome legal objections
Opinion is that it too will be thrown
out.
Also ON the docket is a case in
volving the right of the PWA to lend
money to a local government for the
purpose of building electric systems
in competition with private systems
Another power case involving the
constitutionality of IVA is based or
different legal grounds than the case
which the Court decided last term in
favor of IVA.
The National Labor Relations Act
is also up for judgment, along with
the Commodity Exchange Act, the
Railroad Retirement Tax Act, and
others.

SAFETY COURSES

The campaign for safety in auto
mobile driving is resulting as one of
it's by-products in a swift increase in
automobile driving courses in high
schools.
Schools opening this year, the Ma
tional Safety Council reported, found
5,094 of the nations $4,000 high
schools offering courses of one kind
or another in safe motoring conduct.
In addition about so per cent of the
elementary schools are now including
classes in practices of general safety.
In an article in the current School
Life, publication of the United States
Office of Education, it was reported
that 95 per cent of 5000 drivers sur
veyed in Is cities were in favor of
the principle that high schools
should teach children about traffic
laws, causes of accidents and what
their duties will be as drivers. 1t
was announced that the American
Automobile Association was ranking
among its major safety projects the
wider development of driver training
courses in secondary schools.
At closing sessions of the National
Safety Council in Atlantic City,
speakers asserted that the safety
movement would not show real prog
ress until the youth of the nation be-
came safety conscious

Astro-Numerologist

For the period November 6-12,

enced by no less than five planetary
CONGREGATIONS, namely:
/. Mercury oopposition Uranus.
2. Venus quadrature Neptune.
3. Sun trine Saturn.

5. Venus conjunction Jupiter.
Contracts, partnership affairs, Sc
cret and confidential arrangements

Emotional unrestraint, confusion,
deception and illusion, particularly
rs such involve women, social and
artistic affairs, will attend the Venus
quadrature Neptune aspect which
eliminates November 18th.
The practical and conservative will
gain recognition due to the influence
of Sun trine Saturn of November Sth.
Experience, authority and wise coun-

This influence should be particularly
powerful Nov. 6Sth, incl.

Finances, social affairs and inter
ests relating to women and the young
should prosper November 18th and

conjunction Jupiter. These two
planets may be seen close together in
the evening skies practically all
through the month of November.
Venus is the brightest of these two
planets. This configuration is said
to bring luck to the theatre.
Merit will bring reward to those
born about November 8th of any
year. Those so born should seek the
favor of elders at this time.
Those born about December 18th,

ARNIISTICE DAY

On November 18th the people vi
nearly the entire world will celebrate
the eighteenth anniversary of the
end of the greatest catastrophe in
the history of the world.
When the order to cease firing was
given at eleven o'clock on the morn
ing of the eleventh day of November.
1918, there was hardly a human be-
ing on the face of the earth who did
not join in the universal rejoicing,
For there was no single human being
in the world at that time, and none
who has been born since, whose life
and whose future was not affected by
the war.
To call it the greatest catastrophe
in the history of the world is not an
exaggeration. Who could have be-
lieved that the firing of single shot
in an obscure Serbian village in Au-
gust, 1914, could have precipitated a
tragedy that would involve the en-
tire human race, and from the eff
fects of which we have not yet re-
covered?
There is no possible question that
the worldwide economic depression,
the internal and international NAL
adjustments and financial difficulties
from which every nation in the
world is suffering today, are all di-
rectly traceable to the Great War.
More than 100000 young men,
the best of their respective nations,
we're taken from their homes and oc-
equations and sent into the battle
fields to kill each other. More than
eight and one-half million of them
were killed or died of wounds;
another twenty-one million were
wounded or incapacitated.
At the end of the war the surviv-
ors returned, most of them, to al
most hopelessly impoverished home
lands, burdened with impossible
debts and crushed by unbearable
taxes.
We cannot destroy millions of
lives, billions upon billions of &C.
cumulated wealth, without paying
for it. That we have made so much
progress as has been made toward
economic recovery in the eighteen
years since that Great War is little
less than miraculous.
But let us not delude ourselves.
Our economic losses of the war, both
in men and in money, must continue
for another generation, and even
longer, to pay for that war, with our
labor and our money.
These are things to remember on
Armistice Day. The eleventh of No
vember should be the occasion for a
solemn resolve on the part of our
people, that we, and our nation, shall
use our commanding position and in
fluence in the world to help the peo-
pie and governments of the whole
world to find means for lasting peace
and security.

THE CAUSE OF FLANDERS FIELD

On Flanders Field, all mankind

POWER RATES
BLAMED ON
LONG HAUL

one Of the main reasons why the
cities of Imperial Valley have the
highest power rates among cities of
their population classification in the
state of California lies in the fact
that the electric energy distributed
here is brought to the county from
hydro-electric power plants located
high in the Sierra Nevada noun
talns. a distance of over 400 miles.
This fact is pointed out by w. S.
Cone. electrical engineer, in his re-
port to the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict board of directors on the sub
ject of power development in the dis
trict from the All American canal;
when he stated that power is
brought here over what is called the
longest transmission line in the
world with consequent high power
costs and an inadequate distributing
system"
In a statement issued by the board
Of directors q comment is made on
this situation to the effect that with
power generated on the All Ameri-
can canal this long transmission line
of the private power company will
no longer be used. This will mean
a smaller loss of power in transmits
sion: consequent lower rates to con-
SumerS and a better distributing syS-
TEN in the district.
