Shooting Stars.

Conversation.

Conversation.
Where long ago the world admired
The art, as one to be desired,
OF conversation, as a wit
With some slight phrase might score
a hit,
A speaker now strives to unfold
thought. His audience is cold
He finds, with terror undisguised,
He's being psychoanalyzed.
We hear the words and look behind
To study the unconscious mind.
A pleasant interchange of thought,
All frank and free, is vainly sought.
Most anything we say or hear
May ferret out some secret queer.
We live uneasy and surprised.
We're being psychoanalyzed.
If you remark, "Why, howdy do?"
You place your inmost soul on view,
Disclosing with unerring truth
The complex of your earliest youth.
Your tone, your glance, your frown or
smile
Reveals your bent for good or guile.
Beware the gesture ill-advised!
You're being psychoanalyzed.

The Way to Make
Friends is to Be One

In the advertising columns of San
Diego newspapers last week was an ar
tiele deserving of republication in this
or any other column. Inserted by the
Union Title Insurance company, it dealt
particularly with Imperial Valley, and
so is of particular interest to the valley.
1t was under the heading, "The Way to
Make Friends is to be One" The text
follows:
''The future growth and development
of San Diego and San Diego harbor de-
pends very largely on what happens over
there beyond the mountains 8. in
that vast district known as Imperial Val
ley. San Diego has very definite stake
in the welfare and prosperity of our
fellow-citizens in Imperial and Yuma
counties.
"In 1900 it was known as the Colorado
Desert Today it is the nations great

already under cultivation. Boulder Dam
provides it with enough desilted water
for ten million people, or irrigation for
100000 acres. Modern air condition
ing is great stimulus to population.
''In Imperial Valley they talk in terms
of trainloads instead of carloads. An
nual crop production brings an income
of over S60,000,000.
''Yet Imperial Valley hasn't even start

Our welfare depends upon the well

San Diego must sponsor and cooperate
with every endeavor to improve and de-

Worth a Million,
But 1t Costs Nothing

Edward Davenport, famous lecturer
and advisor of business executives, often
makes a point to which all of us might
pay heed and benefit thereby. 1t is that
a smile is worth million dollars, but
costs nothing.
Davenport wisely advises against the
supercilious, the ironic or the sarcastic
smile. The only smile he swears by, and
not at, is the whole-souled smile that
stretches every facial muscle and de-
mands another such smile in return.
Not that it is wise to go about at all
hours and in all places with smile
splitting our features. There are times
and places for everything, and a funeral
would hardly be the place for an ear
to-ear grin. Still, most of us smile all
too seldom, and all too wanly when we
do smile Our business would be easier
and our life more peaceful if only we
could smile lot more in the right places.
The queer thing about smile is that
it makes not only the onlooker feel bet
ter, but it actually improves the DISPOSE
ion of the person who smiles. Try it
some time-if you're able to manage a
grin that isn't just warped copy
when you're angry, or feeling bit low,
and you'll be surprised what it does to
improve not only your disposition, but
your outlook on life as well.

all Is!
For this despairing effort to fit
gas masks to babies simply means
that we have given up trying to
make our Christian civilization
live up to its name. We have
equipped ourselves with the kind
of weapons which make it certain
that when we make war we shall
kill the young, the aged, the sick
and the defenseleSs with indis-
eliminating efficiency.
Having done that, we have found
ourselves forced to admit that we
have no way of preventing war. At
the same time that we have made
war more horrible than ever be-
fore, we have confessed its inevi-
liability. Instead of working day
and night to find some other way
of settling international disputes,
we make gas masks for babies.
A world which does things like
that is a world profoundly out of
joint. 1t is a world that is about
due to discover that ahead of the
problem of deciding between demo-
cracy, Fascism, Communism and
any other ism whatever must come
the task of protecting children
from child-killers in uniform.
For if it can't do that, it is as
suredly lost world-whatevel
choice it makes on these other
matters.

Bruce Cation Says:
- Civilization Quitting Before 1t is Beaten

It must have been very amusing
to watch that day recently when
British government authorities
wen into an orphan asylum near
London to experiment with gas
masks.
The government has been trying
to devise gas masks suitable for
small children. A number of ex-
perimental masks had been made;
so so infants in an asylum were
chosen to play the part of guinea
pigs. These children put on the
masks and had a great time, gig
Cling and gesturing gaily as they
went blundering about the asylum
in their grotesque funny faces.
And it's a good thing someone
was able to get a laugh out OF II.
For nothing that modern society
does is quite so grimly discoura9-
ing as this despairing effort to find
some way of protecting children
against the gas attacks Of wartime
If we had any real conception
of what the word civilization
ought to mean, a news story OF
this kind would make us rise IN
revolt against the modern war ma
chine and the blight it has put on
modern life.
For a society that has to devise
gas masks for small children is
clearly society which, having
stumbled to the dark end of q
blind alley, is vainly trying to pro-
tect it's own children against itself
1t is admitting its own incompet-
ence to perform one of its mos
important jobs For if civilizatlor
does not mean that small chill
dren are protected against th'
threat of violence and suddel
death, what in the name of SAINT!
does it mean?
To be sure, the gas masks ma.
help a little. The inventors ma.
| be able to keep one jump ahea'
lof the chemical warfare experts.
They may be able to rig up
mask which a small child won't
tear off. And there is always tn
chance, slight but hopeful, that
the bombs will leave few childrel
alive to put on the masks pefor
the gas attack comes.

- 4 New Buduet Director

WASHINGTON-FTank e. walker, new Deai
troubleshooter and mystery man." is likely TO
become director of the Bureau of the Budget.
The element of doubt about 1t appears TO
rest in the question whether Roosevelt can per-
suade Walker to take over the job Heretofore
Walker usually has succumbed to the blandlsh-
ments of his close friend in the White House
when the latter has beseeched him to take over
a difficult administration job. Walker doesn't
want to be director of the Budget, but he prob
ably will be, just the same.
The budget and the matter of balancing 1t
have become an increasingly serious problem in
the Presidents mind. Ever since Director Lew
Douglas quit in protest against New Deal spend
ing policies. in 1884, the budget has been IN
charge of capable Acting Director Dan Bell, who
is guided to a large degree by Secretary OF the
Treasury Morgenthau, who in turn Is so subject
to White House supervision that Roosevelt some
times is called his own Secretary OF the Trea-
sury"
The fact that neither the budget dictatorship
nor the post of comptroller of the currency, vac
ated by John B. McCarl, have ever been filled is
at least partly attributable to the fact that the
previous incumbent proved too independent and
recalcitrant for the Presidents comfort.
Walker lawyer business man with consider
able prestige here and in New York, would be
strong figure in the job and his appointment
probably would appeal to business men, since
he is considered more conservative than other
wise. On the other hand he always has been
completely devoted to Roosevelt, although as
an adviser of the more cautious type and would
be fairly sure to see things in the White House
way. One function of the Budget Bureau is to
approve or disapprove appropriations by Con-
gresS.
