That famous bridge expert who
explained the crack-up of his mar
riage the other day by confessing
sadly. st am a married man with
bachelor Instincts, may have
thought that he was owning up to
unique and deplorable trait. Un-
fortunately, however, he was not.
For the run-of -the-mill husband
everywhere shares in that little
failing-and there isn't a wife alive
who doesn't know it. This, no
doubt. explains the widespread
feminine distrust of predatory
blondes, and the wifely habit of de-
manding triple-edged alibi for
any and all evening absences from
the fireside.
1t explains more than that. 1t
explains the uncanny prescience
with which the little woman de-
tects, in the brain of her spouse,
those errant little fancies which
ever and anon take shape there.
She detects them, often enough,
before the spouse himself is entire
ly aware, of them-before they
have gone farther, for instance,
than a mental recognition of the
fact that little Mary Jones looks
uncommonly nice as she stands on
the corner waiting for the bus,
with the wind whipping her skirts
Having detected them, she i'm
mediately files an accusation
leaving her better half with that
peculiar feeling of baffled indigna-
ton which an accused man feels
when he knows that he is inno-
cent but knows also that the in
nocence is not exactly of his own
contriving. He usually mutters
dumbly about woman's intuition,
not understanding that she has
simply acted on the ancient truth
that mans rowing eye operates
independently of his will.
And there is wherc another score
must be put down without being
told) that while hubby does have
an incurably footloose nature, it
isn't really his fault and in nine
cases out of ten he never actually
does anything about it.
Which, of course. is what makes
the, whole business endurable and
keeps modern society on an even
keel. For these bachelor instincts,
inborn though they are, are after
all pretty superficial. Life holds
few more truly comic sights than
that of the ordinary house-broke
husband who, nourishing the idea
that he would like to be a gay
blade and a tempestuous lover,

A Wise
Policy

The words of Commissioner Page,
spoken out of the wisdom of years spent
in studying reclamation and irrigation
projects, embody a wise policy-and also
present facts which too few of us, even
in this irrigated community, realize.
If the west is to take its rightful place
as an agricultural region, it must take
advantage of every drop of water avail
able for irrigation.
Applying this policy to our own case,
it is easily seen that the U. S. reclama-
tion bureau will do all in its power to
help in bringing the east and west mesas
of Imperial county under cultivation.
On these mesas are fertile lands, await
ing only the magic touch of water to
become productive acres. That water is
available, now that the Ali American
canal is nearing completion. 1t can be
taken to the east mesa by gravity flow;
it can reach the west mesa by pump lift.
The project is feasible, the water is
available, and the community is already
established. There will not be the pio-
neering difficulties that face any new
community springing up on the face of
an arid dessert.
The east and west mesas will become
a part of Imperial county's irrigated
nreas within a few years.
