COUNTY FREE OF ACCIDENTS
ONE NIGHT"

Accidents here and elsewhere are
becoming the rule rather than the eXcep-
ton. The highway patrolmen or the
newspaper man who settles down to an
evening of freedom from worry or a
night Of sleep with the idea that there
won't be any automobile accidents that
night is nothing less than a heroic opto-
mist
There are lot of people in Imperial
county who are beginning to spend their
weekends at home for no other reason
than that they're afraid to travel on the
highway. There have been so many ac-
cidents in the last month. and so many
deaths since the first of the year, that
the fear is a very real, very sound one.
None of us can be sure, when We step
into an automobile, that we will step
out of it alive
Somewhere there is solution to this
greatest of all modern problems. Per-
haps it lies in the construction of double
highways, or it may be in irOn-bOund
enforcement of all speed and safety rules,
regardless of who gets fined or imprison-
ed.
We are inclined to the belief that
a partial solution lies in the offices of
various justices of the peace. The high
way in Imperial county where there have
been less accidents than anywher eelse
is the one where more could be expected.
1t is that stretch of the Calexico highway
lying in the CaleXico township, where
Judge W. H. Lorenz was for so long the
justice of the peace 1t was by-word
among motorists that no traffic ticket
could be fixed in Judge Lorenz court,
that an average penalty for reckless
driving, after the motorist had taken
"just one little one" was a fine of $3.50
or 125 days in jail, and that lesser often
ses brought equally harsh penalties.
There were mighty few accidents in
Judge Lorenz district-and motorists still
drive carefully in his neighborhood.
The justices of the peace cannot all
say, as Judge Lorenz can, that Il have
done my part

Bruce Cation Says:~
Keeping Our AbIest Men in Public Office

With Premier Leon Blum's re-
signation, another French cabinet
has gone with the wind and the
field is open to the customary as
sortment of chuckles over the sit
uation. Americans. accustomed to
methodical, quadrennial changes in
administrations, find 1t ludicrous
that there should be a veritable
procession of ministers in and out
of Frances executive offices.
But the temptation to gibe at
the "impulsive French personality"
because of a seeming Instability In
government is all too likely to hide
a valuable lesson in politics.
In the first place. Frances gov
ernment. of the responsive" type,
is not necessarily unstable. True
the premier, unlike oar own Presi-
dent, may be forced to resign any
time his policies are not approved
bv the peoples duly elected repre-
sentatives.
But Immediately after resigna-
ton. the French president, elected
every seven years and possessing
few real powers, calls on another
leader to form a new cabinet which
will be wholly in sympathy with the
public will. And during that trans
sition, the nations basic policies re-
main unchanged. Deposition of a
premier means only that one OF
his major projects has been vetoed.

New York Day by Day
By O. O. Mcintyre

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE longer
one works in this-and doubtless
every other trade-the more one
seeks the easiest way. Mark Twain
found, after many years of hump
ing over a desk, that he could write
longer and much better relaxing
in the comforts of a well-pillowed
four poster.
Most creative folk think best re-
clining. Addison's better essays and
gravid thoughts came when, from
sleeping porch chaise lounge, at
night he could glance from the
writing pad to the scatter of stars.
Somerset Vaughan wrote Rain"
stretched on a deck chair in the
tropics one night.
1 believe semi-tropical countries
are most ideal for writing. Such
as Florida and California. Very
little fine literature comes out OF
the Arctic zones. Literature flow
ers best in sunshine. The great
poets have been most inspired in
their gardens or by the seaside.
Some day I should like to find a
hammock with Jacaranda trees in
constant light lavender bloom like
so many powder puffs brushing the
heavens. Or flaming poincianas
lighting the sky against a back
ground of mountainside bristling
with those feather busters of the
gods-the valiant pines. How I go
onl

But as a makeshift for the ideal
am scribbling this while sWaying
gently in a hammock near peace
full Nashua, N. H. There does not
happen to be much of an inspiring
view and mosquitoes at times are
particularly bold. But it is moon
light and inside the older folk are
playing bridge, the youngers dane

At dinner by candle glow tonight
there was one of those oyerbearinl

New York seems, more than ever,
to be "vacationing" at home this
summer. Many who fitted off to
the European spas, the Adirondacks

in town. Few of those ponderous

I have been trying to lash my
self into an urge to go to Europe
this summer, but I'm still apathetic,
as is my wife. 1 have not seen
Paris for neariy three years, and
even then it had begun to droop,
and today those who know it well
say the gloom can be cut with q
dull knife. The familiar American
haunts are deserted, the Champs
Elysees is cluttered with five and
tens and cafeterias. The once gay
boulevards now begin to pile chairs
on the tables at 10 o'clock and at
midnight Montmartre calls it day
and yanks down the corrugated
shutters. Berlin is likewise iifeleSS
at night and London, following the
example of the new King, is living
quietly. New York thus has be-
come the most exciting city in the
world. New cafes, new night clubs,
new plays. At least SO such gad-
abouts as Louis Sobol tell us.

CHILEAN QUAKE
FEARED PERIL
TO SAVANTS

SANTIAGO, Chile, March 9
UN.S) Anxiety is felt for the
safety of a party of Chilean scien-
lists, who, It is feared, may have
lost their lives in the crater OF a
volcano, being thrown there by
the shock Of an earthquake.
The expedition was exploring the
volcano region of the Andean
mountain range, and were on the
edge of the Quizapu volcano crater
when a violent earthquake shook
the region.
Among those for the safety of
whom fear is felt are Father Do
mingo Conde, an astronomer from
Talca, to the south of Santiago;
Senor Orlando Ramirez, a lawyer,
and several members of the An
dean military corps.
The leader Of the expedition,
Senor Jilio Bustos Navarrete, says
that he fears that boulders, re-
leased by the earthquake, or the
violent wind that accompanied it,
may have shaken the party from
their position and swept them into
the crater.
It was the Quizapu volcano
which, together with Descabezado,
was largely responsible for the
1881 eruptionS, when large areas
Of South America were covered
with ashes,
