SKIPPER TELLS
CAUSE OF FROST
BY DON HIX

Heigh.ho, shipmates! Merry day
after Christmas! The "Old Skip
per" is too full of turkey and the
trimmin's to write a story today
and besides we figured that you
were too full to read it. So with
the prospects of turkey hash to-
morrow and turkey soup the next
day, we are going to use our
column for the Question Box. /"
We have had many letters asking
us again why we see our breath
on colo days. When the last cold
spell came along with the sleet
and snow We made a simple ex-
2lanation why you see breath.
When you exhale breath from
your lungs 1t is moist and warm
and when the air is very cold
outside it suddenly cools the
breath and condenseS the moisture
into tiny drops Of water. These
float until they evaporate. This
is to be compared with a small
cloud or fog. This is the way
fogs and clouds are formed. only
the lakes. rivers, oceans or ponds
do the breathing in this case.
The "Old Skipper" will be with
you this afternoon at S AS over
WJSV for another chat. Until
then-Ship ahoy!
THE OLD SKIPPER.

Croqucttes

too fine, and mix it with just

chopped egg white, parsley and
coarsely sifted egg yolk, all

BY JAMES L. BAITY
WHEN Earle Moser steps out OF
w harness to absent himself
from the field of duty to enjoy
well-earned rest during the
Christmas holidays and load up
on turkey and all that goes with
it-maybe Tom and Jerry, too
and calls for outsiders to pinch
hit for him in mis- daily sayings
about the Government and its
thousands of employees, he must
fully realize that a substitute
comes up with two strikes on him
and jittery besides. However,
Earle has hollered for volunteers,
and 1 for one wouldn't let him
down, even though l strike out
like the fateful Casey.
Earle's interesting column treats
generally of Federal employees and
their offices-and that is a live
subject in this mans town-a sub
ject that should be of the utmost
interest to all officials and each
and every employe throughout
the Federal service. Good admin
istration of Government office
requires that all officials should
deal absolutely fairly and justly
with their employees, regardless OF
class, creed. race or station in life,
giving equal rights to all and Spe-
cial privileges to none-iuSt like
jefferson or Lincoln. Employees,
all of them, should be deeply in
terested in their work and give
to it each day their very best.
Everyone should appreciate the
fact that Government working
hours are short when compared
with working hours of private con-
Germs; that liberal sick and an
nual leave are allowed; that in
the main working conditions are
pleasant and that the rate of pay
is fair. and the paymaSter is al
ways on time.
A square deal to all, and an
earnest application to duty each
day by every one of its employees,
will enable our Government to
operate more efficiently and with
a somewhat lesser cost to the tax
payers of our country who are re-
quired annually to provide the
funds necessary to pay off all of
US who work for Uncle Sam.
To Earle Moser and all Govern
ment workers extend the compli-
ments of the season and sincere
good wishes for the coming years.

l. ner party, at the Shoreham,
much later. The party, given
in honor of the Scott Coltons
(Mrs. Cotton being the former
Acadia Newman, sister OF Mrs.
Cammack). And such a beauti-
full party, with a dinner that
was a poem, and a breakfast
served later in the supper room
with the rhumba band playing
from l until 4::30-a huge white
wedding cake done in tiers (you
remember the Coltons have just
been recently married. and an
impromptu bar that served
anything at anytime one might
wish it. Mrs. Cammack wore
the most intriguing gown done
in shades of green, rose, cream
and black, nearly like precious
Paisley shawl, and a cluster OF
violets in her black hair; and
Mrs. Cotton looked exactly like
a picture-book lady with a bout
FAINT frock of white net, threaded
with silver, a headdress of gar
denias and a-muff of the same
creamy blossoms. About these
gardenias is a very charming
story. While everyone was at
dinner, a florist box, just about
the size of a freight car, arrived
in the arms of Robert and Paul
who were hard put to carry the
weight of it. The box was pre-
Sented to Mrs. Cotton and when
it was opened it contained no
less than 500 gardenias-a gift
from her husband, Scott. You
see, Mrs. Cotton loves gardenias
has never had enough of them
and this small gift, from the
head of the house, was just a be-
ginning-So to speak.

dairymen are getting around loss
Of production during that period by
drying up their COWS during the
hottest months of the year.
The fact that Imperial Valley
is a T. B. accredited area, is an
other factor in favor of the county
as a center of dairying.
Los Angeles dairymen realize
there will always be market for
their products if the area is an
accredited one. And there is no
fear Of their cattle becoming af-
flicted with the disease.

slow for a few years" Jessup said,

good land available, I look for an

that the valley will become one of

Lieuts. Roy j. Allen and Fred A.
Browne, ether two defendants,
were concerned, their alleged
overt acts began month after
the overt acts inVoled in the case

If the motion to dismiss the
murder conspiracy charge fails,
Cantillon indicated he would press

The argument really started after
Supervisor A. Y. Preble of Imperial
