Details of Retesting
Dairy Cattle for
Valley Worked Out

DR.. w. E. Howe, United States
animal industry inspector in charge
of California. and DR.. w w. Wor-
cester, supervisor for the southern
counties of the state, were in I'M
perial county Monday to complete
details of the re-test of dairy cattle
now under way.
The officials expressed great in
terest in finishing the re-tests sat
isfactorily in order that Imperial
county may be declared a modified
accredited area as a Signification
that it is free of tubercular re-
actor cattle.
Twelve federal testers now are in
the county testing all herds which
have not passed two clean tests
After that is complete. re-test of
all dairy cattle in the county will
be made.
1t is believed these tests will show
that there are less than one half
of one per cent reactor cattle and
win the title of modified accredit-
ed area for the county. The re-
tests are expected to require about
two months.
The re-tests are being made by
two men in each of the following
communities: Calipatria, Brawley,
Ell Centro, Imperial, Holtville and
CaleXico.
The government is paying an in
demnity on reactor cattle which
have to be destroyed. The indem-
nifty is up to $25 for grades and
up to $50 on purebreds. The price
paid for salvage beef is added to
the indemnity and paid the dairy
man.

of fate.
OF her many acquaintance in the
great metropolis there was only one
real friend-Alice, sparkling young
girl from California, the State where
she had found complete but such
short-lived contentment. Alice's vi
vacity and capricious escapades were
ever a source of great delight and
amusement to Sandra.
Alice was spending the week end
With her. 1t was keeping them both
busy watching the youthful Frances,
for she was putting into practice all
of her 3 years wisdom. The scissors
allured her, she cut her hair; the cat
was i'll, she gave him a dose of castor
oil. What next would materialize IN
her baby brain?
THAT little imp is going to be as
mean as I used to be-" laughed
Alice.
IT can imagine what a caution you
were-you haven't grown up yet, you
know" commented Sandra.
"Oh, was full of the devil-an the
time getting lickin' for some sort
of prank"
II can't understand where Frances
gets her mischief. I was always pretty
good. I suppose the worst thing ever
| did was to refuse to speak to little
playmate because he started an argu-
| ment. 1t broke his heart, but have
always detested arguments-I usually
walk out on them," explained Sandra.
well, I've done some pretty rotten
things, but must have my fun. Moth
ing like a good practical joke, you
know" Alice chuckled. as she recalled
| some of those practical jokes.
Have you no conscience. young
lady? Aren't you sorry for all the grief
you have caused?" teased Sandra.
Not a bit of tits all in the
game" A perturbed ftown fitted
across her lovely brow. There's just
one stunt that my chum and used
to pull that fills me with remorse-
She smiled reminiscently, bet we
played plenty havoc with that one"
"A ND what was that one?" asked
her friend with interest.
"Oh, we'd call up some unsuspect-
| ing bride and ask for her husband.
Upon being told that he was out, we
would inquire as to the hour of his
return. But here's where the fun
came in. We would ask. Is this his
mother?' When informed that it was
his wife, we would register shock by
| extlaiming, aOh, he told me he wasn't
married and then slam the receiver"
AS Alice finished her story she was
alarmed to find Sandra pale and
trembling. "What-whatever Is the
matter?" she gasped.
She was still more abashed when
Sandra darted to the telephone and
shrieked, "Quick, operator-Pasadena,
Calf! Yes-yes-Frank Prentice.

Dizziness
BY ARTHUR DEAN, Sc. d.

T HONESTLY think that I put more
time into my plants and know
more about them than If had chill
dren to raise instead Of flowers. Last
month, I divided and transplanted Ger
tain perennias which can be safely
moved at this season of the year. They
have growing edge" which has time
to develop new growth before the
ground freezes.
This phrase, growing edge" is ap-
piled by DR.. Richard c. Cabot to edu-
cation. He brings out the idea that
formal education Is Of doubtful in
trinsic value when it fails to deter
mine this growing edge" on which to
base its beginning. Let me quote him:

mo, his wife" The words
choked her. For the first time dur
ing their year of perfect matrimonial
bliss the bride doubted her mate-yes,
was even jealous.
His wife!" gasped the voice. HE
told me he wasn't married" There
followed a heartrending sob and the
receiver clicked in Sandra's ear.
She tore desperately at the hook;
screamed like an insane person. VINO
are you-tell me who you are!"
AND then the room grew black,
"A When consciousness returned
Sandra moved like an automaton
about the house. Every spot which
she loved SO dearly-the little blue
bed room with its crisp, clean cur
tains; the garden where the roses
grew in such profusion and sent out
their rare fragrance; they were all
lost to her now.
Her heart was heavy as she went
about packing trunk, in one cor
ner of which she carefully stored
the little garments which she had
made with such loving care and
pride.
And then came the moment OF de-
parture; she must be far away before
s. Frank would come home then ano
find himself free-free to go to that
other woman. Sue! She had felt all
along that sooner or later Sue would
come back into his life. Well, no
longer would he have to lie; she,
Sandra would certainly not be an
1ncumbrance.
Too well. she remembered the agree

love grew cold, if ever there was

live up to the agreement. He could
have his freedom. But it was sc

home. "Sandra-Sandra. honey!
Great news! Your old mans been

sensing the emptiness of the house,
he called out in alarm, "Sandra
Eandra, dear, where are you?"
During the months that followed
he searched for his bride. He searched
near and far. but his efforts were not
rewarded She had disappeared as
completely as if the earth had opened
up and swallowed her.
Perhaps she hadn't been happy,
had longed for the freedom of the old
days. Well, she should have it; he'd
be good sport. Hadn't he promised
he would never stand in her way? But

widespread outcry over this particular
method for producing additional funds
for Brittania's armament needs. Bar

tates," Mr.. Chamberlain said, ito set his
fire-f1ghting appliances in readiness when
he already can feel the heat OF the
flames on his face. Our safety is more
to us than our comfort, and I think
the country, which has applauded and
approved the precautions we are taking,
will not grudge us the means of bringing
them about in the shortest possible space
of time"
Although Britons are panied by these
revelations and proposals, implying, as
they do the gloomy prospect of long
series of high budgets, the industrial
and financial world, which must bear
the brunt of them, reflects general sat-
isfaction with the program. 1t arouses
approval chiefly because this years ex-
penditure, on the pay-as-you-go prin-
ciple, is to be met from taxation, and
British credit thereby strengthened

during the next five years will be financed
by loan, but current revenue must pro-
vide for maintenance of the rapidly ex-
panding armed forces. The spirit in
which British business accepts the in

retiring president of the Federation of
British Industries. 'The country comes
first" he says, land there is no escape
from putting our defense in order"
Mr.. Chamberlain once again failed to
mention the 5000, O,OOO, 900 British war debt
to the United States. Its existence
merely continues to be recognized by its
inclusion in the total national debt OF
approximately $4,000, 100000. NJ. Herriot
recently taunted the Paris government
for its systematic disregard of Frances
American debt. Liberal and Labor men,
bers of Parliament complained in similar
vein of Mr.. Chamberlain's omission to
dignity with attention the British debt
to the United States. They contended
that until something is done to adjust
it London is likely to experience en-
barassing difficulties in political discus
sions with Washington. AS in the case
of France and the rest Of our debtors,
Britain would undoubtedly improve her
prestige with the taxpaying American
people by giving some tangible token
that she looks upon the money due this
country as an obligation that should and
will be honored at the earliest feasible
moment.

Cooperation of individuals
Needed for Clean Streets

To the Editor OF The Star:
1t is really pity that after so much
publicity has been given to cleanup
week in Washington and after such gen.
erous support has been given by the
newspapers to the worthy effort to make
the city a fit place in which to live, a
large number of our citizens evidently
have not sufficient pride in their homes
and their surroundings to prevent such
an exhibition of slovenlineSS as was pre-
Sented recently to any one driving about
town.
1t is amazing that people can live COM
fortably in the midst of such unsightly
conditions as form the outlook of so
many homes on our city streets today.
Yards, sidewalks, cutters, lots. continu-
ally Uttered with debris, mostly papers
of every deScription-and little pride.
backed by little effort on the part of
each resident, would remedy the whole
situation and make Washington an ap-
proach to the cleanly city it used to be.
Is not this general sloppiness the result
of individual sloppy habits, induced by
sloppy thinking? And is not this same
sloppy thinking what is really back of
depreSsions? Is not poverty really the
ldlluIe 10 appreciate dlo Lldke lne IlOSI
of what we have? I think this can be
demonstrated to be true.
If each resident will resolve to carry
on an individual campaign of thought
fulness and love his city enough to help
keep it clean, 1t will be happier
place for all. Washington is beautiful,
especially in the Springtime. but the
beauty of nature and the litter made by
men do not harmonic

Shakespeare Anew.

Henry Clay Folger was practical
man, and it was part of his dream for his
Shakespeare Library that it should serve
q pragmatic purpose. He conceived the
Stratford poet to be one of the sources
from which American civilization de-
scends. and desired that the American
people should know him more intimately,
understand him with greater accuracy
and appreciate him with a more intense
and compelling passion.
1t therefore was fitting that DR.. Felix
E. Schelling should choose for the theme
of his address last evening the need
for an ideal life of the poet. Biog-
raphers, he said in effect, have failed in
their effort to portray Shakespeare as he
was. They have written into his career
their own failings, their own prejudices,
their own idiosyncrasies: and the net re-
suit has been a dangerous confusion.
What is wanted is a study of the Bard
as q character of excelling genius - q
man nobler than anything he ever wrote,
more attractive than anything he ever
visioned.
For example, Shakespeare taught the
quality of mercy with special emphasis.
No individual in human history, save
only the Savior, has surpassed him in
charity. Again and again throughout
the whole compass of his works the
reader finds the same ardent preach
