NEW BORDER
PATROL HOME
IN e. G.. SEEN

Construction of new U. S. I'm
migration border patrol headquar
ters at the northwest city limits
of Ell Centre was foreshadowed late
Tuesday when the Imperial county
board of supervisors sold five
acre tract there to the U. S. de-
partment of labor, immigration and
naturalization for $500.
The sale was a part of routine
business transacted by the super
visors. 1t was made on the high
est bid received for five acres in
the northwest corner OF the county
owned 4O-acre tract north of the
railroad tracks and east of the
highway.
Details of immigration border pa
troll plans for the building were
not available, although plans are
understood to include a radio sta
ton and other modern facilities.
Present headquarters foy the patrol
in Imperial county are on Imperial
avenue south of the San Diego
highway intersection.

Society
Clubs

A new course in home economics
will be offered to Central high girls
next year under the new Smith
Hughes plan. The domestic science
courses will be combined with gen.
eral science and biology to make a
more practical study for the stu
dents.
Under this plan the domestic
science, general science, and biology
teachers will receive 80 per cent of
their salaries from the federal gov
ernment. This will be an economy
for the high school district, and
will at the same time tend to in
crease the efficiency of the home
making department, school leaders
point out.
The cooking laboratory will be
enlarged for the new courses, the
resolution for enlargement having
already been passed by the board
OF trustees. There will also be two
home economics teachers, instead
of the customary one.
AS the Smith Hughes plan is
worked by age groups, it is planned
not to have home making a re-
quirement in grammar school. In
stead every girl in high school will

@A~ EMBROIDERY EMPLOYED AS TRIMMINGS
By LISBETH

IF ANY one doubts that
blue, shading from navy to
sky blue, is the favorite of
the 1887 summer season,
just let him-or her-keep
his eyes open when he is
walking down the avenue
any avenue-and count the
many blue costumes he
meets.
Black is next thus early in
the summer. Later on |
suppose white will be the
tops, but this season seems
to me notable for its dark
sheers - and lovely they
arei
Mostly daytime dresses, even
for quite formal occasions, are
simple, in prints or sheers, some-
times the latter being trimmed
with appliques or in other ways.
Rosevienne, Paris dressmaker, is
showing in her midseason collec-
ton a great amount of trimming
on her afternoon dresses in braid
ing, embroideries, pailletes and ar
besques.
The dress on the left of our IL
lustration is silk crepe, the de-
sign being chartreuse and white
flowers on a navy background. The
gathered bodice with its deep V,
and puffed short sleeves, is very
effective and cool looking The
skirt is crisply pleated in front,
and is in the newest length.
Shoes Are Navy
Navy kidskin step-ins climb
high over the instep, and a navy
straw bonnet has long streamers.
Transparent marquisette is used
to veil a silk slip with a hint of
sophistication, in the dress, right.
1t is q luncheon-to-dinner frock,
very effective for the tea hour. 1t
is in black marquisette with sheer
white linen appliqued in flower
clusters at the neck and sleeves.
Airy black kidskin step-ins are
cut out to be delightfully."- cool in
hot weather, and a black cart
wheel hat is accented with giant
white blossom.
Ribbons and flowers are a part
of Lelong's trimmings, for both
day and evening dresses. Lace
incrustations are a very popular
form of trimming with Paris de-
signers this year, especially COL
ored lace incrusted on black tulle.
Rosevienne makes use of tulle
in dresses worn underneath red
ingotes and for slips.
And speaking of flower trim
mings, as we were a while back,
Robert Piquet has very simple
day dress with draped bodice and
three pink roses at the neck.

Giving the course to the girls when
they are older will make it possible
for the study to be more intensive

GreenbeLt Headache

Rolling around in the hands Of

hot potato is the Greenbelt houS-

completion.
It would seem that the divisions
headaches would be over, but they
are just beginning. This is be-
cause having something that
everybody wants is as bad as hav-
ing something that nobody wants.
There are housing facilities for
1000 families at Greenbelt, and
already between 1000 and 5000
persons have asked for informa-
ton concerning the "utopian"
housing development.
However, the ReSettlement d.
vision is not ready for them.
Although the division disclaimS
any sort of ''utopian" idea in con-

are eager to see the project work.

people will be permitted to in

Progress in
Poison Gas!

The scoring, searching story
of poison gas and all Of its hor-
rible implication as an interna-
tional tool Of war is told in
Heinz Liepmann's book, Poison
in the Air"
Mr.. Liepmann has not had an
easy life. He declared early in
the game that he was against
Hitler. And, being in Germany,
he Immediately placed himself
in precarious position.
Previous to this assertion he
had written several books. The
books were burned. He fled the
country, was captured and sent
to q concentration camp.
But, regardless Of his political
leanings, he has studied the prog
resS Of chemical warfare. He
knows that every nation in the
world today is experimenting in
these horrible harbingers Of
death. He tells something Of
these experiments. He explains
the manner in which these new
gases will reach down into the
underground Ravens Of refuge
Into the cities. Right through
the gas masks.

'eral years, she has kept track OF
her fellow school teachers in her
home community.
When trade slumped during the
depression, the schools in her
home town launched an economy
drive, firing many Of the school
teachers and cutting deeply into
the salary Of others.
She, on the other hand, for a pc.
riod Of time continued to receive
increases.
And her efficiency was rewarded
also by raises in grade. So look.
ing back she says her choice was
a good one. She is secure in her
job and faces a bright future.
While every Government en-
ploye has an individual case and
an individual story, it is neverthe-
less true that the efficiency Of
Government service rests mainly
on the continuance and extension
of security Of Federal workers.

Toxic Tries
New Deaf
In Orient

One Of the most timely books
to find its way on the serious
readers book shelf this week
is The Far East Comes Nearer"
by Hessell Tiltman.
With Japan and China at
death grips and American lives
in peril, all available material
on the internal story of the
Orient's problems will certainly
catch the eye Of those who read
primarily for information.
WELL ILLUSTRATED
Mr.. Tiltman has written his
volume on the scene. 1t is pro-
fusely illustrated. It explains in
detail the interest of this coun-
try in the Pacific-the Hawaiian
Islands and the Philippines-our
friendship with China and the
Panama Canal.
There is an international
scope in this book, however, as
the author turns to an explana-
ton of China'S preparations for
defenSt against Japan; the jap
anese trade expansion; the huge
amount Of British capital in
jeopardy-two billion pounds
and other angles that will bear
heavily on the future history of
the Asiatic empires.
TRYING NEW DEAL"
Japan is trying for a New
Deal" in the Orient, the author
AYERS, and the details that he
has observed are set down faith
fully for those who follow inter-
national events to draw their
own conclusions.
Perhaps the only conclusion
that the author draws is that
America is drawing closer and
closer.

Weird Tale
OF Jungle

Vaguely as one reads Dead
Man Leading" one is reminded
of an Englishman who was lost
in the Brazilian jungle. There
is the half thought Of half re-
membered dispatches from the
south that several expeditions
sought to establish definitely
whether he was dead or alive.
Who he was or what he was
doing in South America Is sub.
merged in a strange account Of
exploration by v. s. Pritchett in
Dead Man Leading"
It is written in terms Of what
Hollywood press agents fondly
term the fIaShback. In fact, 1t
is rather confusing. That is,
taking the life Of Lucy and Gil
bert and progressing to a certain
point and then hustIng back,
but only after you are embarked
upon q deviliSh exploration into
q jungle which tears at your
throat and harnesses you with
insects and makes England and

cocktails and finery seem distant

indicated that there would be no
objective in firing person for any
reason other than inefficiency, as
under the Civil Service Commits
sion rules the vacancy must be

A typical reaction to employ
ment in the Government service is
that Of an attractive Government

from a Middle West community
where she was employed as a
school teacher.
It was just before the depres-
sion broke in full fury, and she
was making a fairly good salary in

Stunt Filler
Turns Crook

Milton Deem was paid 10
pounds a month for putting his
neck in peril six times a day.
All he had to do was climb into
his plane and soar aloft. Some
times he stood his machine on
its nose. Sometimes he played
tag with the telegraph wires.
# he didn't die he got his 70
pounds. Also a lot Of bills
he couldn't pay at the end Of
the month.
TURNS CROOK
He had flown for 10 years and
he was getting pretty tired Of
signing autographs and open
ing bazaars and unwilling monu-
ments. Or so, Frank Hedley re-
lates in Cavalier of Crime"
the fanciful account Of a stunt
aviator who gave up risking his
neck to rob the populace.
It all began when a couple
Of thugs used his car for geta-
way. Deem, then and there, de-
cided it was much more profita-
BILE to rob a bank. So what
did he do but sit down and Sc
lect a theme song from bar
Of Chopin's Third Polonaise and
dispatch it to the Commissioner
Of Police. That facetious geS-
ture in the direction of Scotland
yard, was the signal for a series
Of spectacular crimes. He looted
q private picture gallery, COM
mitted a train robbery, filched
O chain of diamonds from an
amorous lady and ran off with
a rare string of pearls right I'M
der the nose Of his hostess.
CLEAN BREAST
All, we should add, with amaz-
ing audacity. He didn't even
have to confess to the girl of
his dreams at the end. He made
a clean breast at the beginning.
Nothinr hothered him and M
one caught him. And, as they
used to say in the fairy tales,
for "au we know" he is living
yet. The author offers no evil
dence to the contrary and the
story concludes with the culprit
as cocky as ever.
