Good Taste Today

who is actively engaged in work
associated with the subject in
which she earned this degree,
should be called Doctor instead of
Miss on all occasions. If she is
married, however, and is in the
company of her husband who is
plain Mr., it is considered best
taste to call her Mrs. If she goes
by herself. to woman's club or
other meeting, she would be called
Doctor and particularly when, as
a speaker she is introduced TO an
audience.

Dear Miss Grey: What can a

am not a girl. I am 26. but
my mother insists that I do not
know how to pick out becoming
clothes. II makes me feel foolish
when she charges into a store like
an angry bull and wants to see the
clothes they have to sell. The
clerks bring them out as though
they were dealing with a half-wit
when they present them TO me and
that is just how I feel.
Has a mother right to act this
way. Miss Grey? I would like to
know what other girls and their
think. BITTER.
Don't blame your mother.
Blame yourself. II You are 20
and haven't the courage to
choose your own clothes you
can't pick on your mother. You
must have leaned on her a bit
too much through the years. The
moment you start standing on
your own feet you will find
you will have no complaints to
make about your mother.

AN UNFAVORABlE
TRADE BALANCE

If Imperial and San Diego counties
were nations whose exports and imports
were watched over anXiously by Jealous
statisticians, Imperial county residents
would be up in arms about the tourist
business.
The trade balance is considerably in
San Diego's favor.
Just now, when the sun makes I'M
perial Valley not exactly place to come
for weekend trip nor a two weeks vaca-
ton, it would be folly to complain. San
Degans, after ALL cannot be blamed for
staying in their own lovely climate dur
ing the summer months, any more than
Imperial Valley people can be blamed
for going to San Diego.
It's different matter in the winter
time
There's not better climate in the
world than that of Imperial Valley in the
winter San Diego, however, is not un-
pleasant in the winter, either, so we have
to offer something more than weather
in the way of inducement.
Luckily, Imperial Valley has more than
weather to interest the weekend trlpper,
or even the winter vacationer. First
although it may seem queer to those used
to it's the desert 1t is intensely fasci-
mating to those who have not lived close
TO it, nor become we'll acquainted with
it. The Impeial Valley desert has enor-
NOUS attractions such as the Painted
Gorge. the petrified forest. the area sur
rounding Salton Sea, and many Others
that should interest visitors.
1t has other things of widespread ia
terest to make trip here worthwhile.
The All American canal is not the least
of these. Then there is Salton Sea, the
mud pots, the sand dunes-any number
of things.
But, with all its attractions, Imperial
Valley will not rectify the unfavorable
balance of trade until it lets San Diego
and other places too, for that matter
know about the things to be seen here.
1t might be a good start, if it has not
already been done, to ask the San Diego
chamber Of commerce to tell customers
about Imperial Valley during the winter.
But the chamber of commerce cannot
do it all The only adequate, thorough
way to balance Imperial Valleys tourist
trade is by adequately publicizing the
valley in every way possible. That is a
job the county itself should shoulder.

has more (and richep big shots
now than 1t had during prohibi-
tion. One angle of this is the gen.
orally accepted report that Boston
has become a key importing and
distributing center for the drug
racket.
One of the bizzare aspects Of
Boston's situation is the influence
reputedly welded by Danial H.
Coakley.
Coakley was once one OF the
city's ablest lawyers. He was dis
barred some II years ago for en-
gineering fantastic and lucrative
shakedown racket. The unsavory
testimony about the "blackmail
ring" drove him out of law prac-
tice. 1t might have been expected
to end his public career.
But it didn't. Coakley made a
comeback, built up a private po-
litical machine in South Boston.
and got himself elected to the gov
ernor's council-a body which In
Massachusetts, passes on the gov
ernor's appointments, on warrants
for state expenditures and acts
with the governor in dispensing
pardons and paroles. He has served
on this body for some years now
and is a figure of genuine import
ance.

BOSTON-If Attorney General
Murphy goes through with his
announced plan to conduct a
sweeping investigation into the
seamy side of life in Amerca's
greatest cities, he will find a good
deal of material to examine In
Boston.
Sober, staid and decorous on the
surface, Boston contains all the
making of a first-class sensation.
A legislative committee is now
investigating handling of pardons
and paroles. The grapevine re-
port is that its findings will neces-
state a special session of the Leg
islature before the year is over.
International revenue bureau agents
are working more or less in liai-
son with the committee looking for
income tax irregularities.
This investigation was provoked
by release from states prison late
last year of Ray Patriarca. who
had served approximately 80 days
of two concurrent sentences OF
two and one-half to five years for
robbery. Patriarca was known as
Rhode Islands public enemy num-
ber one" and was intimately con-
nected with a powerful race track
ring. His unexpected parole during
the final weeks of the adminis-
tration of Gov. Charles F. Hurley
stirred the whole state.
Last May, urged on by Gov.
Leverett Saltonstall, the legisla-
ture created a committee to look
into not only this specific case but
the whole mass of current rumors
about improper use Of the pardon
ing and paroling power.
There is also big-time gambling.
A powerful fraternity controls race
track betting, dog-Tack betting and
an extensive numbers or policy
racket. It's total handle" is said
to reach $50,O00000 year or more.
1t is interesting to contrast this
with the situation during prohibi-

Capone's Florida home asked the
Chicago gangster why he didn't
move in on Boston field. Capone
told him there wasn't enough money
in the Boston rackets to make it

SURPLUS SOLUTION
(Riverside PreSs)

The United States is not the only coun-
try in the world that has its problem of
agricultural surpluses. Brazil, for in
stance, has destroyed $500,000 worth of
coffee by burning it, and has millions
more that seem destined for the same
end.
Naturally when Herbert S. Polin of
New York arrived in Rio de Janeiro with
news that he has discovered means of
converting green coffee beans into plas-
tic material suited for floorings, walls,
cups, plates, and buttons hopeful Brazil
ians greeted him with enthusiasm. For
if tangible use for this surplus coffee
can be found, Brazil will be on the way
toward solving one of its toughest econo-
mic problems.

A new survey by the Interior
Department is the latest of many
to call attention to these neglected
resources.
Land, climate, and resources of
Alaska, says this report, are IN
every respect equal to Scandinavia,
where 100000 people have devel-
oped one of the the finest civilza-
tions known to the world. The re-
port suggests large-scale settlement
by refugees (since Americans have
for 70 years refused to go there in
any numberS.
This would build a new market
for American goods, new source
for Americans energy and strenth,
a new bulwark of defense, a new
national inspiration for achieve
ment. And all without injuring the
people of any other country.
Whether this particular plan is
possible it is hard to say. But 1t
is certain that the United States
ought to turn eyes to Alaske with
q greater seriousness than it has
yet done. The situation of the
world, and our own internal sit
uation, is no longer such that. we
can afford to pass up any bets.

EVERYBODY IS TO BLAME
(TuIare AdVance-Register)

Every family knows the job of making
expenses square with income, but is it
aware how powerfully its decisions affect
the nations economic life?
Testimony to its impact in one major
field is today given by the American
Petroleum Industries Committee, which
cites the startling fact that last year 70
per cent of all passenger automobiles
sold in the United States were used cars
Specifically, of the 6,353, ,831 vehicles pur-
chased, 4,462,810 fell within the used car
group-a figure which establishes an
all-time record.
Further, it indicates clearly the re-
suits of continuing high taxes in period
of lessened income. Whether a flexible
tax structure, capable of adjustment in
times of recession to lessen the shock of
abrupt checks on the output of industry
would prove a helpful shock-absorber
remains arguable.
There is no arguing the fact, however,
that the motorists tax load has grown
at such prodigious rate that it now
amounts to more than $50 annually.
Obviously the pressure of high taxa
tion on the average mans income is more
than a personal matter. That pressure
can alter the buying habits of a nation
and slow the wheels of giant industries.
The welfare of the nations business is
inseparably linked with Mr.. John Citi-
zen's tax bill.

IN THE NAME OF
PATRIOTISM

Patriotism is one of the nobler emo
tions, but it is not always found where
the most noise is heard.
Take the case of Allen A Zoll, of New
York City Loudly proclaiming his pa
triotism and his concern over the future
of the United States government, Zoll
protested before senate committee when
hearings were held on the appointment
of Felix Frankfurther to the U. S. Su-
preme Court.
Then, some time later, Zoll directed
the picketing of New York radio station
because the station refused to broadcast
a harrange by the Rev. Father Coughlin
just as the priest wished to give it. The
pickets hadn't been long on the job when
Zoll sent note to the radio station offer
ing to call off the pickets for $500
and threatening to double the picket line
unless the money was paid over
Marked money was passed, and he was
arrested for eXtortion.
There is no finer person than the true
patriot; there is no more disgusting per-
son than the one who makes a racket
of patriotism.

through high schooi should fall for

Professor Harry d. Kitson, of
Columbia University, New York, in
How to Find the Right Vocation, y
gives a peep-show into the ways OF
astrologers. An investigator wanted
to find out whether they agreed.
So he sent the date of a friends

each exactly the same information,
and asked what vocation this indi-
vidual should pursue. tHe was
commissioned officer in the United
states army DO you lnl1lK IileSe

by a jugful. No two agreed. One
astrologer said that the stars re-
vealed that the person should apply
himself to scientific research.
Another that the man should be-
come a salesman. The third didn't
hedge his terms with any such mo-
dest statements. He said the person
would succeed in anything he at

The United States has owned
Alaska for 72 years.
There is ground for wondering
how proud we ought to be OF our
record in this magnificent territory.
About $7,200,000 was paid for the
vast area when Seward bought it
from Russia. Many times that
amount has come out in gold, other
metals, furs, fish, and lumber.
Yet during that whole 70 years
the United States has succeeded in
achieving as population figure IN
Alaska a static 10000
There is something wrong there.
For many years it has been known
that vast stretches of Alaska were
no polar tundra, but regions poten-
TALLY rich in agricultural soil, for
ests, and mineral wealth.
Perhaps because it came to the
United States at time when 1t
was still opening up the west, when
there were still vast stretches of
the central continent to explore
Alaska has been neglected Now
many people keep repeating, the
frontier is closed Yet Alaska is
yet, for practical purposes, un-
touched
Imagine what the countries of
Europe which claim to be hard
pressed for living room" would
do with Alaska if they had it,!
Mussolini, embarking on vast
military expedition to conquer
faraway Abyssinia in the pestilen-
tial tropics! Hitler, risking world
conflagration to extend German
living space" into east central Eu-
rope!
Yet we. who complain of CLOSED
