been in his shop g number of
times before the robbery.
Mrs. e. v. Banta, cashier of a
filling station adjoining SiratoniS'
shop, identified Pratt and Bass
as the men she saw fleeing after
the robbery.
Bass yesterday sprung a surprise
when he changed his plea to
guilty after the trial had begun
and testified as a Government
witness.
Every detail Of a series of rob-
berries was planned by Tomlinson
as the master mind" Bass told
the jury. Fresh from Chicago,
where he had been involved in
a petty larceny charge, Bass met
Pratt on the street one day and
was taken to an I Street rendez-
vous, where he first met Tom
linson, he said.
At that time the Siratonis rob
berry was being planned, Bass
said, and he was let in on the
plans.
After being accepted as a mem
Der of the gang, he said, he was
told by TomlinSon that the latter
had influence" and was we'll
known here and could get his
men out of any "jam."

ABATT0|R BILL
RETURNED

For the second time this year,
House District Committee leaders
today were singing under the en-
barrassment of being forced to re-
consider legislation which they
had pushed through the commit
tee without hearings.
The latest blow was struck yes
terday, when, realizing that the
bill to prevent operation of the
Slaughterhouse in Northeast by
the Adolf Gobel Company was
apparently headed for House de-
feat, Representative Mary T. Nor
ton CD, of New Jersey, chairman
of the committee, had it recon-
mitted.
Some weeks ago, the committee,
under the leadership of Mrs. Nor.
ton, ordered the District race track
bill favorably reported, but later
recalled the measure and killed 1t
for the session when a bloc of com
mittee members opposing the pro.
posal protested so vigorously that
it had been "railroaded" through
the committee without hearings
that it became apparent that the
House would not accept it.
Bar Gin Marriages
Yesterdays action on the slaugh
ter house bill climaxed an active
District Day" in the House.
The House, without discussion
passed and sent to the Senate a
bill to ban child and gin" mar
riages in the District, and two
relatively minor bills dealing with
the issuance of medicine licenses
1t also, after considerable dis
cussion, adopted conference re
port on the Red rider repeal bill
and ended that two.year contro

tossed the Duke of Windsor
around enough yet, so they want
to OStracize him now. And a
nice little thought occurred to
me. Edward is q knight of the

the only things they haven't

Theory of Common Sense
In Relief Administration

Appreciation by the community is due
the imperial county board of supervis-
ors for their appointment of Phil Hoff-
man as county INDECENT commissioner
and veterans welfare officer. Our appre-
citation is more sincere because Hoffman
was chosen for his common sense and
native sincerity, not for any theoretical
training he may have had in social SER
vice and welfare work.
Charles Nice. resigning commissioner,
did not exactly fulfill the requirements
the federal government would have us
impose on our INDECENT commissioner,
vet he handled the job better than 1t
has ever been handled. Hoffman can be
depended upon to carry on.
Perhaps. looking at it on national
scale, there is justice in the demand of
the federal government that all public
welfare workers have from two TO five
years paid experience in case investiga-
tion or other social service activities,
or from two to five years of university
training in social service work. Looking
at it from our own doorstep, with view
point entirely within Imperial county,
we believe the requirements are unjust.
Our experience with social service
workers-those who make it profession
was not happy one during the days
of the SERA organization. We got the
idea that their principal aim was to
boost the relief load as much as possible,
and to maintain all relief clients in
state to which they had never before
been accustomed The last aim, we agree,
is noble one but it costs money-and
it is the taxpayers money.
Any man who brings to the job ma
tive common sense will achieve lot
more at a great deal less expense than
the person who brings only college
taught theory applicable, perhaps, to
humanity in the mass, but not to ;Au-
manity in individual cases.
Imperial county, as many outsiders
have found greatly to their sorrow, is
not made up of mass of humanity. 1t
is constituted, very definitely, of indivi-
duals. That is why man who takes
the Job now offered to Phil Hoffman
needs common sense applied to an al
ready large knowledge of the community
far more than he needs college degree
in social service work.

And the FOLIAGE

Again somebody, this Time Psychia.
trist Agens A. Sharp of Chicago, breaks
into public print with the idea that many
wives despise their husbands-and show
it by the way they dress around home.
The men, Miss Sharp says, cant see
why the wife, who has larger allow
ance, can't dress as attractively as the

Yet, we can't help wonder how many
men, if they had to choose, would fire
their wife before they fired the steno
