 Braid trim, has entered the suit scene, set in stripes at either side of the skirt, as swirls of interesting design on jacket fronts and binding for lapels and edges of jackets.

 The majority of blouses in the Creed collection are mace with high, swathed necklines in novelty

Usually q player likes to have at least eight of the i3 trumps in the combined hands. With that many cards he has some insurance against bad breaks, and at least prtial guarantee that the hand will not crumple up.
 However, Godfrey Mott- Smith of New York, one of the tournament directors of the American Bridge League, recently demonstrated that one could get along quite well with c bare majority of the trunps, if full use was made of every element of ravorabie distribution, and the play of each card was properly timed.
 tt.smith, sitting North, was playing in duplicate game at the Covendish club, New York, which attracts one of the strongest fields in the entire United States.

Easts opening lead of the heart three gave the deciarer an iinme- diate problem, which he solved by playing the five from dummy, and rufiing the trick, reducing his holding to three trumps. The ace of hearts had Q more important function to perform.
 North next led c low diamond, and when East played low, went up with the king in dummy, which held the trick.
 Now Q club finesse was taken, the jack winning. The ace of clubs was cashed, then the ace and king of spades. The declarer's next play was the king, of clubs. East refused to ruff, discarding c heart, 60 the declarer. followed with . low diamond.
 East and West were helpless. If East went up with the ace, and drew trump, ali he could do was to cash the jack of diamonds. There gre several interesting vaEi- aticns to the last few tricks. hut none will defeat the declarer's weil-planned play.

NEXT YEAR TAX RATE
IS HOT AIR NOW

Malcontents, stirred up anew by the
Reconstruction Finance Corporations
refusal of a refinancing loan to the I'M
perial Irrigation District, are popping
their coattails around corners again in
search of new victims into whose ears
they may pour the alarming details of
what they say will be next years assess
ment rate for the district. Street corner
estimates cover almost every inch of
territory between So and S16
It is unfortunate that many worth
while residents and taxpayers of the
district actually believe that there will
be a SIC assessment rate for 1898.
Some of them really believe there is no
escape. Others know differently-but
they hardly come in the classification Of
worthwhile residents. Their motives are
far more private than their tongues.
The fact IS that no one in human form
can tell you today what next years as
sessment rate will be. There are too
many unsettled factors which will, when
the time comes, decide the rate; there
are too many unknown equations in the
problem of district financing and assess
ments. There remains, for instances, the
open question of bond principal and in
terest payments, and there remains, too,
the mallef OF VALUATIONS. bolll are prime
but unknown factors.
The valuations of district lands, for
instance, could be boosted so high that
a tax rate of ST would bring in as much
money as the district needs; or they
could be cut so low that rate of $50
would not bring in any more. 1t is a
matter of juggling with figures.
The bond question remains unsettled.
Settlement will be reached before the
next tax rate is decided, that is certain.
1t is imperative There are several ave-
nues open, and the men in whose hands
responsibility rests are not overlooking
any of them, not even the possibility that
RFC will change its departmental mind.
Until these matters are settled, specu-
lation about next years assessment rate
is highly futile mental exercise.

A MONKEY WRENCH IN II. S.
BUDGET BALANCE SPRINGS

If the nations fiscal budget is to be
balanced by 1889, President Roosevelt
declared in his message to congress, pri>
vate industry must be depended upon
to share its burden by increasing en-
ployment for those now jobless The
government cannot stop spending money
for unemployment relief when there are
millions who need food, the president
indicated. His pronouncement was based
on the soundest of humanitarian doc
trines.
The plea for greater employment
made to industry through congress, fell
short of its mark 1t should have been
addressed, as well, to certain elements
in organized labor, for how can private
industry put men to work when the la
borers themselves stop the wheels Of
industry? The coming era of prosperity,
if it is to be sound, should be an era of
cooperation between labor and capital,
not one of coercion Labor, rightly, does
not want to be coerced 1t should not
attempt to enforce upon capital that
which it will not stand.
More than the balancing of the ma
tional budget depends upon the cooper
alton of Industrial elements in the fu-
ture. The welfare of industry itself. and
so the welfare of every individual. de-
pends upon it. Unity is better than
strife.

Other Editors Say
A LAW THAT RETARDS PROGRESS
lSanta Monica Outlookl


II is a rather startling condition OF affalfS
when government activities are being postponed
because private industry will not bid on govern
rnent contracts for supplies or for building con-
struction. The Federal building in Los Angeles,
it is reported, has been pushed aside Temporarily
because only two firms were willing to compete
for 1t and their prices were regarded as excessive
This condition is due directly to the passage
of the so-called Walsh-Healey law by the last
congress. This act requires the payment OF
prevailing wages and limits working hours IN all
business organizations bidding for government
work or supplies.
However the public may syrnpathize with the
desire to maintain and increase wages and re-
duce hours of labor, the fact seems to be that
business firms are unwilling to be subjected to
the arbitrary acts Of Irresponsible bureaucrats
seeking to enforce law that is as carelessly
drawn as this measure. II addition TO this, in
creased Federal taxation and the narrowing
margin of profit which might result from gov
ernnlsnt interference with wages and hours Of
labor add hazarde tc the natural risks of business
which make many concerns unwilling to take
the chances involved in furnishing supplies or
doing work for the government Under this law
This is a regrettable condition of affairs.
Tha drastic and uncertain character OF the law
is interfering with government activity and is
holding back government work of ali KINDS. The
measure was drawn hastily and was passed
without as much consideration by congress as
II should have received Present conditions
suggest the adyisabIty Of its early revision at
the coming session.

Bruce Cation Says:>>
A Professor Ventures Into BIunderIand

All this. as the learned psychia-
trist points out, is simply ridiculous.
Worse yet. it is confusing. And. as
the psychiatrist says. I'VE may ask
whether such literature might not
increase destructive attitudes in
children beyond the measure which
is desirable"
Now the funny part about il all
is that the scientific gentleman is
entirely correct in that Alice in
Wonderland does have in it all the
things he mentions. And yet they
add up, not to something subver-
siVe, unwhoIesome, and harmful, but
to a lovely fairy story that has
given exquisite pleasure to whole
generations OF people.
And right there is where the
magic of the literary artist comes
in. Out OF the most unlikely
materials he creates harmony and
beauty. Carroll did it with mater
ials out of psychiatry; Mark Twain
did it with an illiterate child, a
town bad boy, and a group of riv-
erSide Wastrels and vagabonds;
Dickens, with poverty and failure
and crime and the riff-raff of a
great city.
Such miracles can't be analyzed.
Tt takes an artist ID perform them.
A learned attempt 10 pass judg-
ment on the separate pieces results
in a good laugh rather than in en-
liehtenment.
Imperial Valley press., 1937-01-11

just TO add to the gaiety of ma
tions learned psychiatrist in New
York has discovered that Alice IN
wonderland" is a subyersive book,
full of dreadful things that are apt
to affect the minds of small chill
dren very terribly.
This gentleman unburdened him
self before a recent meeting OF the
American Psychoanalytic Associa-
ton. He announced that Lewis
CAROLS venerable classic has elem
enfs OF cruelty. anxiety. danger, and
destruction and he doubted that
children should be allowed to read
It.
For one thing. the book contains
apreponderant oral sadistic trends
of eannibalistic character" There
is in II the expression of an en-
ormous anxiety" Space ana time
are all mixed up in the narrative.
People are forever being deprived
of things, or threatened in the most
heartless way.
For instance: Alice does not get
ANYTHING 10 eat at the famous tea
party. The poem OF THE Walrus
and the Carpenter" is full of cruel
ty. The lobster gets cooked. The
Queen of Hearts wants to cut off
everybody's head. The head OF tne
JabberWock is cut off. There IS,
altogether, "a continuous threat to
the integrity of the body In gen.
eral.'
Nor is that ALL The stability oil
space is threatened. Bottles start
to fly, candlesticks grow longer,
train Jumps over a river. Every
body falls down, from the Red and
White knights to Father William.
Time is distorted, too, SO that II
occasionally runs backward.
There is even worse to come. The
Walrus and the Carpenter go out
into the sunshine when 1t Is nlght.
The White knight carries little
box upside down SO that the ram
can't come in, but the food and
clothing which the box contains
have fallen out. His horse has
spiked anklets to protect II from
the bites of sharks.

HOW BAD LAWS REACH
THE STATUTE BOOKS

Approximately 800 bills were pro-
posed to the state legislature after it
convened last week. There will be more
next week. New bills will make their
appearance as long as the legislature is
in session. Is it any wonder that bad
laws are written into the statute books,
when there are so many of them pro-
posed that no man could begin to know
what they are all about?
Each state senator and state assembly
man is expected by his constituents back
home to vote intelligibly on each of the
bills which are made into laws He
would be genius, indeed, who had even
a smattering of knowledge of each pro-
posal upon which he is asked to vote
Every manner of subject under the
sun, and some that never see the sun.
are represented in these legislative pro-
posals. The average man could be ex-
cused for doubts about the sanity of
those who propose some of the measures.
Existing laws must be changed to
keep pace with changing times. New
laws are necessary now and then to
meet new conditions. Why not be salts
fled with that.
We wonder sometimes what happens
to all the old laws.
