to provide for hanging murderers
was introduced in the Michigan
House yesterday by Representative
John F. Hamilton, Detroit Demo-

The only legal execution in Mich

Representative Hamilton said a
murder cant be paroled from a
hangman's knot" His measure
would permit hanging a murderer
who confessed or was identified pos

victions by circumstantal evidence.

IS THE BEST TOO GOOD
FOR HOME CONSUMPTION?

Imperial Valley residents it has been
said, never know how delicious their
own cantaloupes are until they eat them
in San Francisco or Los Angeles OF New
York.
The fact has nothing to do with dis
tance lending enchantment, nor with a
psychological yearning for home. II Is
occasioned entirely by the fact that the
hardest place in the United States TO
find a good Imperial Valley cantaloupe
in a store, cafe or hotels ia lmperial
Valley.
The same thing is true of other melons,
fruits and vegetables shipped from this
valley. We send the good ones to mar
ket and offer the poorer quality to our
own people.
Of course it is not always true that
good melons are not available here-but
in a majority of cases it is all too true.
The fault is not that of the stores, cafes
and hotels, perhaps, so much as 1t Is
that of the shippers. Whoever is 10
blame. it is lamentably true that to be
sure of getting first quality fruit, val
leyites too often have to go into the
fields to get them
The chamber of commerce has taken
up the matter. For the sake of lmpe-
rial Valley palates as well as Imperial
Valleys appreciation of its own really
high quality produce, it is to be hoped
the chamber of commerce efforts to put
quality produce in all stores here will
meet success.

blessing of the Department of Agri-|
culture. a gray-haired, quiet littlel
nan named David H. Young is outl
to make the legs of 45,00O,00 Am
erican women do their share toward
solving the cotton problem.
Frankly, Mr.. Young wants those
legs encased in cotton hose again,
for at least part of the time.
He proposes to bring this about
by devising cotton stockings which,
for certain purposes, will be so
good-looking and wearable that
women won't be able to resist them.
1t looks as if he might have
some success, too. An expert in
the hosiery trade. he was borrow
ed by the department last summer
on a tWo-year loan and given a
place in the Division of Textiles
and Clothing of the Bureau of
Home Economies.
He has obtained the co-opera-
ton of several textile companies,

cotton. mercerized and put through

smoother texture. On his desk, he
has two or three dozen samples Of
the finished process.
He has no idea of muscling in
on the sheer hosiery field, and he
isn't trying to create dress stock
ings. He has the notion that for
occasions where a woman subjects
her hose to a good deal of wear
for sports, for instance-something
extremely good-looking and highly
wearable can be offered that will
have both style-appeal and price
appeal.

SPOIL HOLIDAYS
(Long Beach Press-Telegram)

(Long Beach Press-Telegram)
1t is a tragic fact that the number
of persons meeing violent deaths on hOli-
days in the United States is becoming
so large that the significance of the spe-
cia day is almost lost sight of as one
pOnderS the obituaries. Memorial day
this year was no exception, for survey
of the tragedies extending over the week
end and including Tuesday, reveals that
nearly 500 persons lost their lives by
accident during the period.
The majority of deaths, it might be
surmised, was the result of traffic
crashes. Nor is this difficult to explain,
for each holiday brings an unusual num-
Der of motorists on the highways, and
though theoretically it is a vacation per-
iod in which leisure should be the key
note. the desire to get some place In a
hurry seems to predominant.
Traffic congestion which becomes so
acute on holidays obviously points to the
need of more mOderniZed highways. AL
though engineers are working as rapidly
as time and funds permit, it has been
impossible to keep up with the constant
ly increasing number of automobiles.
1t is evident to he traffic expert, how
ever, that modernized highways is not
the complete solution of the traffic prob
lem. Even on a paved artery that has
been so cleverly constructed that there
scarcely exists physical hazard, there
will continue to be traffic mishaps The
reason is that no construction engineer
can remove the human equation.
Perhaps the time must come when each
holiday not only will be an occasion for
celebrating a noteworthy event in his
tory, but also day for stressng the

THE PURPOSE OF HOLIDAYS

Holidays are a time of relaxation, rest
and enjoyment 1t is natural that they
should be so since they represent an
interruption in the daily grind of labor.
They have, however, lost great deal
of their original significance. There are
two reasons for this. One is human for
getfulness, the other is politics.
For the purpose of this discussion we
can overlook the trait which makes hu-
man beings forget to honor their soldier
dead on Memorial Day because they are
too busy picnicking in the mountains.
The other brand of forgetfulness if more
vicious because it reeks of hypocrisy. 1t
cloaks personal glorification in a pre-
tense of patriotism.
In Lancaster, Pa, on Memorial Day,
a parade was arranged in honor of o.
year-old Loreanzo McCracke, the city's
only surviving Civil War veteran. He was
to lead the parade and appear on the
speakers platform. He dressed early in
the morning, and waited for them to
come for him. They never came. The
parade started, the speeches were given,
the politicians held holiday. And Lor-
eanzo McCracke, forgotten man Of the
celebration in his honor, watched 1t all
from the sidewalk.
The politicians used McCracke to sat

wanted to try it out, so 1t made
stockings of the new material. flt-

whenever any defect-any defect

wearing them had to troop right

Willis Thornton's Editorial Or
Rebuilding Our Roads

If there is one thing on which
the United States likes to pride it
self. it is our magnificent system
of hard roads.
It is perfectly proper that we
should do so. There is no question
that the United States has more
and better roads than any other
country in the world.
But it is one thing to consratu-
late oneself on past achievements,
and another to turn SNUG, relax,
and fall behind And that is what
we are in danger of doing in the
matter Of our roads.
1t has been estimated, for in
stance, that 81 per cent of the sur
Imperial Valley press., 1939-06-04

faced highway now laid down is OF
the tWo-lane, 20-foot varity which
is after all nothing but horse
and-buggy road surfaced. 1t is not
a motor road at all.
The American Association OF
State Highway Officials studied the
matter in 1897 and concluded that
there were then about 4704 miles
of three-lane, 1882 miles OF four
lane. and 221 miles of SiX-lane pave
ment. In other words, in 1887 there
were only about 5000 miles of null
tiple-lane highways in the country
Only such highways can really
be considered motor roads in the
modern sense. And OF the 33O3
miles of four and SiX-lane width
highways, only 604 miles were div
ided so that traffic passing in op-
posite directions was DIVIDED by
a raised parkway or center strip.
How much we have progressed
bevond that since 1887 is not del
initely known, but not much. AND
vet no one can consider a surfaced
road really a motor road or mod
ern highway unless it is at least
four lanes, and divided in the CEN
ter by such a parkway as to make
interference almost impossible be-
tween traffic passing in opposite
directions.
