the adaptability of Imperial Valley
to beet culture, according TO the
agricultural committee of the El
Centre chamber of commerce of
which w. E. Hancock is chairman
The El Centro chamber received
a message from G. J. Strodthoff,
vice-preSident Of the Los AlamitoS
Sugar company, which conducted
experiments with sugar beets in
the valley. with view to eventu-
ally establishing a sugar factory
in El Centre.
Manager Strodthoff states. Re
suits thus far obtained with our
test plots in Imperial Valley are
far beyond our expectations, and
while the beetS received a severe
shock last winter, due to the ex-
ceptionally cold weather through
out the West, resulting in most of
them sending out seed stalks, this
is in no way discouraging feature.
Tests are now being made every
fifteen days, and since the weather
has turned warmer. both sugar
content and purity are showing
a gradual increase. We are en-
thusiaStic over results thus far,
and unless something unforeseen
happens, in the next thirty days,
we will be able to definitely de-
eide at that time upon our future
program. We appreciate the won-
derful cooperation received from
the people in Imperial Valley"

WHY not start your spring sew
w at-home/ program now and
"avoid the rush?" Those who are
In position to know declare that
women are turning back to the art
of sewing at home with an enthu-
siasm such as has not been mani
fest for years. Make-it-yourself

say, but they offer the best answer
to being really well dressed on

ment is needed. So here's taking
look toward the new materials.
Such ravishing colors, subtle tex
lures and glorified patternings as
the spring prints, the cottons, the
linens, the piques, the gabardines,
the standings, the silks, the satins
and so on ad infinitum are flaunt-
ing is enough to entice anyone into
bringing home rolls of yardage, and
it follows like the night the day that
you will eagerly and without delay
be joining the sewing-bee clan.
OF course when one starts in to
do spring sewing the really sensible
thing is to tackle the simplest gar
ments first, made of inexpensive
wash materials. So let's betake
ourselves to the wash goods sec
lions and see what's doing in the
way of pretty prints or "what have
they" Never were sturdy cottons so
novel, so amusing and so irresis-
tably likable. The best of it is, if
you ask for the right kind you can
get materials that are guaranteed
against shrinking and that's some
thing not to be lightly considered.
The new cottons and linens and
other wash prints run the gamut
of design from sportsy little designs
for house, active sports and spec
tator wear to gorgeous multicolored
large forals that look handblocked,
for evening dresses. There is a set
of cunning classroom prints that are
delightful for school and home
wear. These prints are practical

Importance of Good Posture

A GREAT deal is said a n d

Correct Pastures.
In sitting the back should be
erect or inclined backward. The
legs from hips to knees should
be approximately at right angles
to the body, although they may
incline slightly downward. T e
position of the legs from knees
to feet is of minor Importance.
The limbs may be perpendicular
or inclined out. Crossing the feet
is sometimes restful to one foot
and then the other. Crossing the
legs may be INDUCED in, although

Use Of Footrests.
The use of a footstool is rest
full, and many times advised by
physicians in order to promote
good circulation. The height of
the footrest is variable, from low,
to as high as the chair seat in
chaise lounge fashion. Always the
body should be erect in sitting, or
inclined backward, for it to be
natural.
Injurious Posture.
This brings us to the especially
injurious sitting position in which
the body is bent forward, or the
knees inclined up. In either event
there is slight "Jack knife"
position, bringing the knees and
body at an angle less than right
angle. This position is common
when leaning over desk and
