Faith in the institutions of the
United States was urged by Mrs.
E. T. Hale of San Diego, first vice
president of the California Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers, in
an inspiring address given Mon
day afternoon before the annual
convention of the 10Th district,
Imperial Valley, held in the El
Centre Presbyterian church.
Declaring that the tearing down
of this country's institutions has
been the great American pastime,
Mrs. Hale advocated that instead
of asking what is wrong with
them," PIT A. members should
concern themselves with what is
right" with these institutions, stress
ing the need for informed public
opinion.
Four objectives of the state Or
ganization were listed: the strength
ening of moral and spiritual val
ues economic efficiency including
the realization of the dignity of la
bdr and the WoruhWhileness of
work; home recreation as an aid
to family living, and the develop
ment of responsible citizenship.
"UnSinkable ships" that PIT. A.
members may launch within their
homes, were stressed by Mrs. Hale
scholarship, leadership, citizenship,
friendship and worship.
Today offers a particular chal-
lenge to PIT. A. members, said
Mrs. Hale, for we are the builders
of tomorrow
Another speaker at the afternoon
session was Miss Helen M. Hall,
medical social consultant of the
Crippled Children's service of Cali
fornia who gave a short talk on the
work being done for the handi-
capped children in Imperial coun-
ty. Two hundred children have
been, or are being treated, for var
ious types of handicaps at these
clinics. Miss Hall was introduced
by Mrs. Edward OConnor, parent
teachers information chairman and
chairman of the educational COM
mittee for the Imperial County

ton.

Plenty of Heart

The willowy Goof, who is far from
being goofy, always had his full
share of heart. You need the Big
Tick when you start out to win six
world series games without a de-
feat.
When the Yankees were at their
old peak a few years back-when
they were hopping UP by Il or Is
games each season-Bucky Harris
of the Senators paid Lefty this trib-
ute: I'D rate the Yankees as the
greatest ball club of all time-espe-
cially when Gomez is pitching.
Along the same road Leo Duro-
cher was talking about the Yankees
of today. "You know" he said,
''they are liable to step out there
and win by eight or nine games.
1.-The Red Sox had better get some
better pitching or Cleveland some
harder hitting If they hope to stop
the Yankees" Durocher said. For

and found herself 81, 88022 in debt.
Just how she extricated herself
I've told here before. First she
moved to an old barn of house in
long-deserted part of town, behind
factories and warehouses, but quiet
and spacious enough. Then she
turned four rooms into an apartment
and rented it. The nearest school
was dreary great structure swarm

born parents; children who had
to be taught American speech,
taught to take baths and use tooth
brushes, taught to stop swearing.

Opens Own School.
Mary got into such trouble when
she kept her girls and boy at home
that during the first unbearable
summer she opened a vacation
school, with beach picnics and back
yard cookery included IN the course
In October she began regular school
work with Is paid pupils at SO a
month. That winter she enrolled 81,
and the next autumn opened the
school with registration of 40.
Now there are 20 boarders and
about twice that many day scholars.
Mary has bought the old house
and the adjoining property with two
houses; she has painted back walls
green and planted trees. Her school
viii never be fashionable, but If is
inexpensive, as private schools go,
and it is good. And Mary licked
the first depression and she knows
she can lick the next, If and when
it comes. In years when dismay
and doubt and change were shaking
domestic economy everywhere, the
Casemans knew nothing but prog
ress, prosperity and security.
You can assure these to your own
family by taking matters in hand
now. For the next few years, more
than at any time in our history,
we will need family unity, family
cooperation and family strength.
We will need freedom from entan-
Cling indebtedness and extrava-
gance, so that our hands won't be
tied by yesterdays mistakes.
Entire Family Must Help.
We need, all of us, each others
help and confidence. Tired men
must come home these days to
peaceful and cheerful households, to
hundred little items of good news
to make up for the waves of bad
news sweeping over a troubled
world. Children need lessons in I'M
selfshness and sef-sacrifce; these
are the months when they must
learn to contribute what they may
to the general home atmosphere of
love and service and absolute belief
In the eventual victory of good.
We will survive these days. But
meanwhile we must throw over
board everything that we may of
unnecessary cluttering extrava-
gance, debt, waste, pretense, and
with them their spiritual counter
parts of hate, fear, revenge, preju-
dice. So that when it comes we shall
be ready for brighter day.

Cancer Deaths Increase

have Increased from IS per lO0, 900
Of population in 1900 to III per l0o,-
600 In 1885," DR.. James G. Doyle,
California, explained recently.

Turning Back

81 came here in shape" Lefty
said the first day he landed in camp.
'Pm going to get in still better
shape and Pm going to stick. After
all I'm only 80 years old. I won't
be 81 until November. II Lefty
Grove can keep on winning at Al,
why should I be all through when
I'm 10 years younger than he is?"
All present cheered Lefty on and
backed up his sentiments.
ST had bad arm and bad side
last season, but I'm o. Z. now. I'd
like to lay one bet, anyway. I'll
bet nobody on this club works
harder"
At this spot the Great Goof is still
more than holding his own. Now and
then he hears the "can of the wild, |"
but not too often. He still has his
share of stuff packed away in his
portside portfolio and hopes to win
his seventh world series start this
coming fall.

Device for Stopping Speeders

Hook 'em if they don't STOP" is
plan of Denver R. King, of Seat
tie, to curb motorists who drive
through red traffic lights. He has
patented a device to hook them as

vice would lay fat in the street
where the traffic lights are green,
then pop up out of the pavement as
they turned red. A hook would
