ITS HOT IN OTHER
PLACES. TOO

The weather's no picnic in Imperial
Valley right now. 1t would be pretty
asinine to pretend that it is.
But where would you rather be, pursu-
ing your normal daily routine?
Los Angeles? We all know how un-
bearably hot it gets in Los Angeles, where
a temperature of loo degrees Is worse
than temperature of 112 degrees in I'M
perial Valley. The trouble is, when most
of US go to Los Angeles it is for pleasure,
and we see the beaches, the parks nd
the pleasanter places. We don't have o
say in an office or shop or factory,
sweating and cursing the humidity. as
the average Angeleno does-and as we
would have to do if We lived there.
Phoenix? That mecca of tourists dur
ing the winter months? Look at the
weather bureau records. Phoenix and en-
virons is every bit as hot as Imperial
Valley.
Tl1e middle west? With its sultry heat
that takes scores of lives and causes un-
told suffering, where Imperial Valleys
heat merely creates a discomfort we can
guard against?
The East? With its crowded cities and
its more crowded highways? With its
millions of people seeking respite from
heat at the beaches and resorts?
Not for US. Well take Imperial Val
ley.
Of course there are cooler places, and
more pleasant places than Imperial Val
ley in the summertime But for the most
part they are not the sort of places where
lot of people live and find work. They
are usually in the mountains, and for
the most part are purely summer resorts
that fold up shop in the long winter
months And we shouldn't like to live
all the year round in that kind of a place.
= For all-year living, averaging summer
and winter, We'll take Imperial Valley
every time 1t may be hot in the summer,
but after all it is not any more unpleas-
ant than a hundred other places without
nearly the reputation we have. And IN
the winter you can't beat our weather
anywhere.
Well take our vacations outside but,
for the rest, We'll be glad to testify that
there are not many other places we'd
rather be most of the time.

Better Relations with Mexico

claim a valuation which the MeXi-
can government dos not admit,
but no appraisal has ever been made
by parties not directly interested
Since the principal problem remain
ing is that Of setting valuation
mutually agreeable and fixing terms
of payment, the thing TO do would
seem to be just that.
The Mexican governmental regime
has demonstrated its increasing
stability since the appropriation.
The change over from the Cardenas
to the Avila Camacho regime was
accomplished in an orderly manner
for the most part, and the new
administration has improved the fl
nancial condition of the country and
its general business stability.
Mexico hes aligned its foreign pol
icy more closely than ever before
with that of the United States, and
has extended co-operaion in mill
tary and anti-Fifth Column activi-
ties. Trade and travel between the
two countries are increasing.
Isn't it a good time, in the midst
of world of strife, to demonstrate
that reasonable men on both sides
of the border can amicably and fair
ly adjust commercial controversy
that has been too long a thorn in
the side Of the relationships between
,wo neighboring peoples?

SHARKS GATHERING
Exeter Sum

Exeter Sum
Now that "prosperity" is no longer
around the corner, but actually appears
to have returned, at least temporarily,
any sound advice to prevent people from
losing those coins that are beginning to
Jingle in their pockets seems timely and
worth needing. For, just as sure as
money begins to circulate, SO do sharpers,
and those people who haven't been used
to having money appear to be the most
gullible for skin games
A syndicated article by Attorney Cen
eral John J. Bennett, Jr., of New York,
gives number of examples of how would
be financiers have been shown up as just
plain suckers, and concludes by urging
anyone with money to remember five
Simple points" which we hereby pass
on:
l. Big profits always mean big risks.
2. Strangers offering to make big
money for YOU are, 80 times out Of 100,
really trying to rob you.
8. Before investing get your lawyers
or your bankers advice, especially if the
offer seems to be in the sure-thing class.
a. When a stranger offers you mar
velous speculation, be sure to have him
tell his story before witnesses. Honest
men don't mind witnesses; crooks fight
shy of them.

Another corner has been knocked
off the three-year oil controversy
with Mexico. Penn Mex Fuel, Sim
clair subsidiary, accepted 100000 in
cash for its appropriated holdings.
That is a small part of the Ameri-
can and British holdings eXpro-
priated March 10, 1898. Yet settle
ment of even a small part is hope
full sign, and certainly suggests that
Mexico is willing to pay for the
properties taken over, if and as she
can. Prompt payment of a million
dollars recently as compensation for
certain land appropriation was also
made, further demonstration of
responsibility.
Mexico has from the start firmly
stood on the ground that the taking
over of the oil properties was not
confiscation. but appropriation
that is, the intent always was 10
pay for them. The United States has
never seriously disputed the right of
a sovereign government like that
of Mexico to appropriate natural
resources like oil in the ground,
always provided that proper and
just payment is made to the owners.
Thus the whole long-standing dis
putc has been a matter of how
much shall Mexico pay, and when.
That is where repeated negotiations

important question? I do. The
hour at which a teen-age girl gets
home at night is most important.
Do not people judge girl by the
hours she keeps?
1--WE mothers often talk over our
problems. They say to me, You
don't have any trouble with your
daughter keeping late hours. Some
of their daughters (my daughters
friends) come home at 2, 3 or 4 In
the morning. Do you mean to tell
me that you think that right?
when my daughter first started
going with boys at Is, I told her
she must be home at IL, which she
always was. Then when one par
ticular boy who works late took
her to the theater, she got home
later. so I told her she must be in
at l am. Now seldom do I have
to worry over what time she'll be
home She will always be there be-
tween II and /. I started her right!
"As for Marcia saying she always
breaks up a party, does she not
realize she is judged by the hours
she keeps? The boys respect and
admire a girl who must be home at
reasonable time. My daughter
tells me the boys are always glad
to leave with her-they say it gets
tiresome hanging around till 2 or 3,
waiting for some one to go.
when we have had parties here
at our house, I have to go in the
parlor at ! am. and say, Now girls,
it is late. What time do you girls
have to be homer No answer. OF
some one will say No set time.
Shame on their mothers! No won
de- their daughters stay out 50
late.
my daughter tells me that often
when she gets up to leave, several
other girls will say 7 have to go, too.
So don't feel bad about breaking up
4 party, Marcia. The mothers thank
you, anyway.
IT have raised three girls and this
one has a little more freedom than
the others, but she appreciates my
efforts in her behalf, Please print
this letter for Marcia to read"
We're glad to print your letter,
Mrs. E. T., and we can't quarrel
with much that you've said. How
ever, we don't quite see how you
figure we "evaded" Marcia's ques-
ton. We thought we gave It Z
pretty thorough going g-over!
Evening star., 1941-08-18

Perhaps you took exception to our
opinion that hard-and-fast dead
line was inadvisable, and that the
getting-home hour should be gov
erned by circumstances. But that's
exactly the policy you followed your
self when you switched your daugh-
ter's curfew from IL to / because
one boy worked late. Surely you
didn't disagree with our statement
that "the important considerations
are where she is, whom she's with
and what she's doing-not just the
position of the hands on the clock" T"
And we did say, "We certainly
think midnight is late enough for a
girl of Is to be out on week end,
except perhaps for big dance" So
we don't quite get that evasion
accusation.
Patricia c. also commented on
Marcia's problem. in these words:
About two years ago, when I was
IA, was in the same kind of sit
uation. I think one reason so many
girls find it hard to get home on
time is that they don't know how

start with mild exercise. Take it
easy at first.
In his book why We Behave
Like Human Beings" George A.
Dorsay calls our attention to the
fact that a monkey cannot smile.
Maybe monkeys are unhappy, but
if they are gay they can't do any
thing about it but chatter! This is
because their facial muscles are not
so well developed as ours.
Neither can a horse smile (who
cares?), but he can shake his shoul-
ders to flip a horsef1y from them,
while we must employ our hand to
get rid of mosquito.
And this to show you that there
is a great difference between the
muscles of the lower animals and
those of man, and to impress you
with the great influence muscles
have in our lives.
There is much variation in mus
culature even among humans. For
instance. some have more skin mus
Gle than others. This allows them
to indulge in the pleasant pastime
of twitching their ears and shaking
their scalps. In some people the
hip muscles and the muscles Of the
calves are heavy, and in others the
abdominal muscles are, weak.
It's too bad that we do not take
advantage of our marvellous mus
cles to mold lovely figures and to
add to the grace of our movements
The development of our muscles
depends on the training we give
them, as well as on our inheritance
Whenever you see woman who
handles herself beautifully, who
moves with grace, you can be sure
that she has set of Well-trained
muscles.
If. you wish to develop grace as
well as health, learn muscular bal
ance and poise. This exercise will
bring it to you:
Stand tall, arms at sides. Raise
the arms sidewise, shoulder height,
| as you raise the left leg forward
(about a foot and half off the
floor and bend the right knee
slightly. Straighten right knee,
lower left leg to floor, return arms
to sides. Continue, alternating left
and right. Keep the body erect as
you do this.

cises to begin with, send a Scent
