Just that we're taking a flash Of
all the guests on board before We
examine them. Matter Of routine,

There are just q few questions I'd

agined you to be an Italian, but
you talk like an American.
p: | am an Italian, but | have
lived in the States nearly all my
life. My mother was an Ameri-
can and she had the money SO,
although | still have the old place
in Italy, | regard New York as
home.
X: see. Now. would you
mind telling me what your move
ments were from the time the
yacht sailed till you went in to
dinner last night.
p: There's no mystery about
that. | was having drink in the
lounge with Mrs. Jocelyn when
the engines started to turn. over.
A few moments later Mr.. Rock
savage Joined US. We had another
spot with him and then Blane's
| secretary, a chap called Stodart,
came in and made himself known
to us. We had another round of
drinks to keep him company while
he was taking some notes Of share
prices off the board for his boss.
The lounge steward took those
down TO Blane's cabin for him and
came up to say that he couldn't
get any answer to his knock, so
Stodart told him to take them
down again and push them under
the cabin door.
Just after that | said thought
il was about time to go below
and change.
X: Can you tell me what time
that would have been?
p: About q quarter Of eight.
Mrs. Jocelyn said she thought she
would go down. too. so we went
down together, after which | went
straight to my cabin.
/ came up to the lounge again
| about S.25, and when the dinner
bugle sounded most Of the guests
were assembled there.

know about the real motive fol
this party?
p: Real motive? There's. only
one as far as | kuow7-stealing q
little summer down in these wa,
ters before New York becomes
livable again. I'm just mad about
sunshine, but maybe that's my
Italian blood.

between the big soap interests

THE COLD SHOULDER

The county board of supervisors did
the proper thing in renouncing RESPONSE
bility for the care and maintenance of
nonresident indigents.
If this is stiff medicine, especially in
view of the fact that much of Imperial
Valleys production depends upon tran
slent labor, It Is necessary that the medi-
cine be administered.
We do not interpret the boards action
as meaning that the rule will be admins
tered ruthlessly and without humane con-
sideration. We do interpret it as meaning
that anyone who wants help had better
have good solid grounds, and that non
resident lazybones cannot expect TO sue
cessfully chisel.
The action is step in the down-to-
country should follow. There are al
ways certain groups who won't work
unless they must. They grab every op-
portunity 10 get by without effort
This country should not be induced to
be lazy. 1t grew and prospered through
effort and the best way to induce fur
ther growth is to see that effort is more
fairly rewarded than in the past.
The fault with the relief rolls is that
they only too often become hiding places
for laziness. This does not mean by any
The purpose and intent is good But the
sooner chisselers are dumped back to
sink or swim for themselves the better,
and the board action is right in line with
such policy.

STILL MOANING

One still hears certain quarters moan
ing against the equal division of gas tax
money between the five county super
visorial districts.
The complaints are usually founded on
the fact that District No. containing
Ell Centre sells more gasoline than any
other district and is therefore entitled to
larger division.
We cannot sympathize with this point
of view. Ell Centro's position as central
shopping center of the valley brings the
increased patronage, which produces the
larger sales. 1t is advisable that roads
in the far distant parts of the valley be
improved and maintained so that Ell
Centre continue to receive this patron
age. That would seem to answer the OBJ
lection of the city business men to the
5-way split.
Complaints do not seem to come from
the District No. 2 rural residents. If
farmers elsewhere in the valley have
better roads to travel ON than farmers in
this district, there might be just grounds
for complaint, but as near as We can
find out, Supervisor 0sborne's roads COM
pare favorably with those of other dis
tricts.
By and large, it would seem that the
old established equal division is all right.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18. W.P)-
Contrast between the financial at

was told today by their mother,
Mrs. Charlotte Shelby, as the first
witness in the trial between her
and Mrs. Fillmore.
Margaret was the Hattie Green

the mother, who is being sued by
Mrs. Fillmore who accuses the elder
woman of appropriating a Laguna

The United States, having had a
rather severe course in the hot
house pressure method of labor un-
| ion development, seems to be more
and more interested in the poSsibi-
| lity that unions now can be set out
in common ground, there to be sub
iect to the same laws and regu-
Iations that control other questions
of public interest.
Germ of idea comes from the
experience of European countries
especially Holland and England
where trade unions have flourish
ed for years.
While conservatives here argue
that it is because of restraint and
compulsions that unions abroad
have attained their position of re-
pectability there is another group
which contends that strikes and
other direct actions were necessary
to force that view onto employers
and the public.
There is some truth in both views,
but both overlook the sensible mid.
die ground wherf disagreements
may be dissolved.
In the first place, there is nc
British law requiring unions to car
ry out contracts with employers
No union is required to incorporate
or submit to an audit except in the
case of its political fund. A union
cannot be sued for damages except
in case of illegal strike. which the
law defines.
But Britain has not altogether
overlooked the matter of regulation.
Most unions must register and make
yearly reports on sources of re-
venue and spending. Sympathetic
strikes are forbidden if they are
calculated to coerce the govern
ment directly, or if they inflict
hardship on the community. Salts.
fled Workmen may not be intimi-
dated into joining a strike, and
public service employees must not
strike for any reason without CIV
ing due notice.
Then there is the middle ground,
amounting to nothing more than a
deep-rooted respect for law and
order, plus the fact that the highly
cempetent British labor Ieaders
give an order that breaks the law,

New York Day by Day
By O. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK, Aug. 18.-No other
city and no other stretch of street
are more celebrity conscious than
New York. and Broadway. AS ac-
customed as Broadway is to seeing
Rudy Vallee, his dining in restau-
rant will often result in a call for
an extra cop or SO to shoe the
crowds away.
In a Park avenue apartment
house recently, tenant phoned that
when Miss Kate Smith arrived to
send her up at once without an
louncement. 1t was not the radio
Kate Smith, as it happened, but
within a half hour traffic along the
block was in jangle.
Restaurants find they can charge
any prices if they fill tables nightly
with the Libby Holmans and the
Martha Rayes. The success of mo
q" and The Stork Club is predi-
aated largely on the people of i'm
portance who go there for relaxa-
ton. And to be seen.
1t is said that Lindbergh tolo
intimates he really did not object
to attention in any other city save
New York. But there he found ii
impossibily rude, SO much SO he
could not help losing his temper and
this he did not want to do. Thus

A spectacular spending stunt
these days is to take over a toney

Herb Swope at The Colony severa
years ago.

horse drawn four wheeler or
hanson as the sun goes down Or the
moon comes up. The venerable dri-
yers know their jobs and keep eyes
straight. Now and then, too. when
they come to some dark bend they
halt, take few pulls at their pipe
and mosey on. One of the jehus,
Jake Zoler, declares that in his Is
years of park hacking several cou-
Piles have come to him in after
years and told him they had de-
eided to plight their troth while
making the round with him.
The accordion has topped the
saXophone as the favorite instru-
ment of young folk. Five years ago
$50 saxophones were sold to one
accordion. While that ratio is not
in reverse, there are at least a doz-
en- accordions sold to one sax these
ueIJo. lCelLul lllS OF
many youngsters who are accom-
plished accordionists contributed
largely to the increase. Heretofore
the accordion was associated almost
solely with Italians, but the maj
ority is purchased now by Ameri-
cans in smaller communities. Ar
kansas is abandoning the fiddle for
them. There are a dozen accordion
schools on upper Broadway. Doris
Duke plays one. And SO on.
Doubtless, too, Phil Baker has
done much to popularize the ac-
cordion He was the pioneer SO fan
as introducing it in the stage revue
His earlier appearances date to the
Midnight F'rolic Roof where he was
billed as "a bad boy from goot
