 CHICAGO, Oct. l9, Federal Agents and all of the states crime fighting agencies unleashed their forces today in an intensive search for the kidnapers of Charles Ross when his abductors ignored the final appeal for the return of their wealthy victim.
 Lifted Restrictions
 The wife of the 72-year-old retired Chicago manufacturer to- day, lifted all restrictions which she had imposed on the investi- gation in the hope that the kid napers would discuss terms more readily. Ross was kidnapped 24 days ago.
 Ransom Was Paid
 Federal Bureau of Investiga- tion agents announced that $4O,0O0 ransom had been paid for the release of Ross, aged 72, but that he abductors had failed to free their aged victim.
 Deadline Passed
 The official announcement came after the passing of the deadline set for his return-8 A. M. this morning-which brought no word of the retired manufactur- CTS whereabouts.
 Swing Into Search The corps of government ag- ents, states attorneys and police swung into the intensive hunt | for the abductors.

THE DUKE OF KENT
AND SENSATION SEEKERS

Mindful of the former King Edwards
sensational love for Mrs. Wallie Simp-
son. and his abdication for love, British
newspapers recently have unearthed what
they think may be another scandal in
the royal family. 1t all started because
the Duke of Kent went to see phrenol-
ogist, accompanied by married woman,
Mrs. William Allen. Scandalmonger
journalists scented a new sensation, and
went to work. To the credit of the more
staid British newspapers, it must be
said that they paid no attention to the
matter.
If an ordinary mortal were to visit
a phrenologist, that might surprise some
people. They might believe that, per-
haps, he really should have his head
examined-but by a medical expert. If
he went in company of a married wom-
an, the natural conclusion would be that
she is the wife of friend-especially
if no effort was made to hide the visit.
Why, then, should the Duke of Kent
be subjected to malicious sensational
ism? Why is it not just as likely that
Mrs. Allen is friend? There is no
wrong in friendship between men and
women nor does such friendship neces-
sarily mean love.
The greatest fault of the Duke of
Kent; it seems, is that he is member of
the royal family.

Other Editors Say
FORECASTS NO BOOM
Riverside Daily Press)

To fearscme public the assertion of COL
Leonard P. Ayres, much consulted banker-eco-
ncmist, that American business now seems to
be riding on fairlyreven keel in spite Of an
inflationary ground swell and rumblings around
the horizon, should bring much mental relief
Colonel Ayres tells the American Statistical
association that he expects for this year con-
tinuation of managed economy" without boom
or initiation.
While not committing himself to definite
forecast, he says he believes business will oper-
ste during the next five years or so with
abundant money and huge deposits in the bank,
with interest rates for the financing of enter
prise lower than they have ever been anywhere
in the history of the world"
He admits that such conditions ordinarily
would result in a boom. But these are not
ordinary circumstances. he says If they were
the boom would be here already. Colonel Ayres
doubts whether boom is going to come at
all. He also declares that he finds it likely
wholesale and retail prices and the cost of Iiv-
ing will move upward, but it is unlikely that
the increases will be of the sort that are con-
sidered as initiation.
This opinion most OF, us know, goes con-
trary 70 current fears of many bankers, mer
chants, manufacturers and Professional men.
But Col. Ayes reputation for good Judgment Is
such that his words command respect. Anyhow,
We hope his forecast is correct. 4

WHERE OUNCE OF PREVENTYON
SAVES DOLLARS FOR CURE

Imperial Valley, like almost every
other community in southern California,
is suffering from an epidemic of colds,
flu or-to use the outmoded expression
grippe. Doctors say the mortality rate
of this particular epidemic is very low;
only the aged and infirm succumb. 1t
is also quite contagious, however. A per-
son without the necessary physical re-
sistance may catch the germ merely by
passing victim on the street.
No more troublesome in most cases
than a very bad cold, the flu is never
theless expensive. 1t mounts up in doc
tors bills and time lost. Besides that,
it is about the most uncomfortable hing
this side of pneumonia.
Those who are wise, and frugal as
we'll, will take proper precautions to
prevent their own catching of the sick
ness. At the first feeling of illness, the
wise person will retire to bed, take the
usual precautions, and proceed to bat
tie out before the flu has gained strong
foothold. If the precautions are unne-
cessary, he will not delay in seeking
medical advice
Here is just another case where
bit of prevention saves a lot of worry
and money, too.

AN EXPERIMENT
WHICH PROVES NOTHING

In Chelan, Wash, (the state that sent
Marion Zioncheck to congress) 63-
year-old unemployed orchard worker
has been given 5000 in 81 bills to spend
as he sees fit, provided he spends the
entire sum within one month. The dona-
tion, and the spending of the money, is
heralded by the donors as noble ex-
pertinent to prove the worth of the worth
of the $2O0-a month pension plan. 1t
is like using two grains of sand to prove
| that man can build mountain.
The unemployed gentleman in ques-
/ ton undoubtedly can and will spend
every bit of the $500 during the
allotted 80 days. What is more, his
spending probably will help business.
Still, nothing will have been proved.
To prove or disprove any plan such
as the proposed pension system, it is
necessary to put it into action. 1t is
necessary that the money for its enact
ment come out of the peoples pockets
day after day and month after month.
1t is necessary that an elaborate book
keeping system be set up to account for
all the money. 1t is necessary that the
paying in and paying out of the money
go on month in and month out
Anything else is bound to be only a
means of getting publicity-which prob
ably is the idea in Chelan, anyway.

Bruce Cation Says:~>
Career Isn't Chief Aim Of Life to All Men

One of the funny quirks of Amer
ican life is the feeling that any
man who can possibly do so ought
to go ahead and make career"
for himself. To sit around and en-
Joy life isn't enough; you have to
get somewhere. make something of
yourself. be big shot, if it's in you
to do it.
So great many men give up
their chance for homely, stay-at-
home happiness and work them
selves to premature death chasing
the mechanical rabbit around the
arena. But now and then you find
a man who is wiser than that.
Ernie Pyle, rowing reporter, stum-
bled on one of these wise. ones on
an Arizona farm the other day. On
that farm he found healthy-look-
ing, middle-aged man busy with
farm chores, putting in his spare
time painting pictures and getting
a world of fun out of life. The
man was Brig.-Gen. Pelham D.
Glassford.
Perhaps you remember the fa-
nous Bonus Army mess of 1882?
General Glassford was chief of the
Washington police at that time, and
he was about the only man in the
whole mixup who came out of 1t
with an improved reputation.
The publicity he got out of that
event could have been the making
of him, if he had cared to use it
that way. The country had dis
covered his existence overnight; had
discovered. too, that he was
broad-gauge man, with plenty of
ability, a world of human SYM

pathy, ana a level head on his
shoulders.
BY all tradition General Glass
ford should have used that as a
springboard to dive head-first into
a Career, spelled with a capital @.
He could have done it very easily.
BY now he would be a sure
enough big shot, complete with
fancy salary, ornate office, good
looking stenographer, and all the
other appurtenances.
But General Glassford didn't
quite see it that way. Instead, he
went to the southwest and quietly
dropped out of sight And now a
reporter finds him runnina 60
acre farm, dabbing in paints, doing
bit of writing when the spirit
moves him-and, all in all, having
about four times as much fun as
any energetic big shot ever dreams
of having.
To be sure, he is no hermit. He
has done bit Of lecturing, helped
the city of Phoenix reorganize its
police department, and served brief
ly as one of Madame Perkins labor
mediators. In half-hearted sort
of way, he ran unsuccessfully for
Congress last fall
But the point Is that those things
are side issues. The general has
devoted himself mainly to living,
rather than to making a living.
There is world OF difference.
Ambition is a fine thing. But it's
nice, once in while, to find man
who can see beyond it to the home
ly and uneventful happiness of USE

AUTO LICENSE DEADLINE
DRAWS NEARER

Imperial county residents, in common
with others in California, have until
Feb. to obtain 1887 license plates for
their automobiles. They can obtain the
plates after that, it is true, but if they
do, the cost will be double.
The states machinery is geared to
high speed for handling license applica-
tions. 1t is equipped to handle the bus
iness-if the applications are in before
the deadline.
1t is time right now to obtain 1887

New York Day by Day
By O. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. Magazine
editors, play producers and news
paper syndicates agree America is
in need of satire. And it is a COM
modify that will find an easy mar
ket for deft exponent. England,
for instance, has us beaten mile
in the trick of satirizing
America, par example, has no one
approaching by city mile Max
Beerbohm. Or even the gentler A..
p. Herbert. Our humor takes an
entirely different turn. 1t tends
more to pat parody Or broad bur-
leSque. We have not yet gotten en-
tirely away from Bill Nye and Pet
roleum v. NaSby.
Ring Lardner could be stingingly
satirical if he SO desired. But he
! was a kindly soul, shrinking from
offending and SO resorted to ex-
panSive travesty. Critics believe
| that with a sterner temperament
Lardner could have been tops. We
have a few attempting satire but
but they are only mean tempered,
nasty.
The nearest to the satirist we
have perhaps is George S. Kaufman
but he has been a bit deflated by
some wag hailing him as The Ec-
stasy Man. Yet more than any
other he can sling quick darts with
out drawing blood. And he is paid,
too. For he is our richest play
wright.
To my notion one of the ace sat-
iriSts is Leonard Hall when in
proper pitch. He can pink phon-
ey off a pedestal with a whip lash
line as neatly as anyone rat-a-ta
ting typewriter And with no
particular show of rancor. His is
the deadly venom with the pleas
ant smack of soothing syrup. AT
first sip it appears slick kidding
Then explodes. Mencken unleashed
many satirical stings but in the heat
of writing he would lose calm and
fail about like a spoiled brat.
The gloomiest, most depressing
stretch OF Manhattan on wintry
nights is under the bleak arches
of Brooklyn Bridge. Here eddy the
dregs of society-the almost COM
pletely submerged outcasts who can
no longer find refuge in the Bowery
