legislation was stressed by Hewes
in discussing it. Its aid:
THE addition q. TO the act .
is not a change in, but is declar-
atory of, the pre-eXiSting law"
The proposed measure makes no
change whatsoever, HeweS said, but
merely clarifies legal interpretations
already placed upon the irrigation
district act.
1T will not enable the board to
do one thing the directors cannot
do right now" he added
Rose had declared that the mea-
sure. if enacted, would leave the
district board only two powers: to
fix the tax rate and sit as q board
of equalization, with all other powers
delegated to directors as individuals.
He charged majority members of
the district board with "steamroll-
ing for passage of The measure.
Why" he said, "Hewes and the
others are in Sacramento right now
trying to rush this thing through"
A few minutes later Hewes was
reached by telephone. He was at
district headquarters in Imperial.
Rose contended that the measures
would allow majority members of
the board to vote themselves into
jobs with the district for a life
time, regardless of whether they are
defeated at the polls"
HeweS countered with the explain
alton that the measure which de-
scribes itself as "declaratory of the
pre-existing law" will not change
the power of the board of directors
to fire an employe at any time.
Employees are subject to the will
OF any new board" he said.

Alkaline Sprays

Hay fever prevails In almost all
regions east Of the Rocky Noun
tains. Formerly, a visit to the
northern lake regions afforded re-
lief, but ragweed and other Of
tending weeds have spread to that
region, and relief Is not always to
be found there. Southern Florida
Is free and the Chamber OF Com
'merce In Galveston, Texas. as
SureS me that there Is no pollen
there and 1t is q good place to 60.
High mountain regions are usu-
ally free and q sea voyage Is q de-
iightful way to cure hay fever. But
most Of US cannot get away. Our
business and our homes need us.
We cannot build airships, tanks,
guns and the like while on q sea
voyage.
So we must do what we can to
keep the trouble within bounds. In
any case 1t is good policy to see
that the nasal passages are free
from irritating growthS. such as
polypS, inflAmed and enlarged tur-
binates. as well o. adenoid growths
and diseased tonSilS. II one has
some infection In the nose and
throat, local applications and the
injection of vaccines to cure that
trouble often relieve irritation from
the pollens.
The diet should be nourishing,
but irritating foods such as mus
tard. spices. shellflsh and straw
berries should be eliminated. Sim
pie alkaline sprays, composed Of
bicarbonate Of soda and borax In
warm water, often afford marked
relief.

ing empty-handed at such . party.
AS q matter Of fact. the average
young man would appreciate IT
more II friends who wish TO 90
something for him would write him
letters from time to time after mes
in camp. Another thoughtful ges-
ture would be to send him q box OF

ones fork or into ones napkin Is
considered bad manners. They
should be removed with the fingers

Beauty Tips

Fine, thin baby" hair which
never seems to grow longer can
sometimes be coaxed to greater
length by gentle treatment. Girls
who have it should use q brush
with long, not-too-stin bristles, use
the mildest Of soap shampoos and
plain water or weak lemon rinSes.
The hair should not be perma-
nented. II there Is no natural curl,
the ends may be rolled up on soft
rubber or rag curriers' when slightly
damp and allowed to dry thor
oughly. A little brilliantine rubbed
between the palms Of the hands.
then over the bristles Of the brush
before the ends are brushed out
will add luster and will help offset
q tendency to break of.
Richard Willis. the makeup ex-
pert, says that cosmetics really
have little to do with q woman's
looks. Her nerves and emotional
set-up are far more important. he
says. Lined. blemished skin Is more
frequently caused by tension than
by neglect. Relaxation which in
sures q better blood stream brings
about real Improvement. Cosmet-
les are important because they add
a look Of warmth and life and so
have q psychological value.

Wallace with q mischievous wink
and the admonition. Don't tell
mother" The boy was jubilant. He
would have danced with Joy and
shouted "Oh. boy!" but he re-
strained himself a. he didn't wish
to create trouble for himself and
father by attracting mothers at
tention.
When parents coAspire against
each other with boys and girls 1t
makes obedience difncult for the
children. It teaches them. more
over. to play one parent against
the other to gain their ends. The
implications when father and
mother don't cooperate escape the
child. He does not know. for exam
pie. that his happiness Is threat
ened because they do not pull
together. First and foremost. the
child Is an -ppportuniSt and SELF
ishly interested In his own salts
factions. It is folly. therefore. to
invite him into the drivers seat
and let him hold the reins when
mothers back Is turned. Honest
cooperation between parents Is q
goal worth striving for.
Wallace bought new kite. and
to avoid having mother and out
about it. stored 1t in the garage OF
a friend. This. however. wasn't the
only subterfuge to which he was
obliged to resort within the next
few days. Since his playmate lived
on the same street. 1t was ar
ranged that Bill carry both kites
out of the garage and out Of the
neighborhood. And II anyone were
to question them. to say that Bill
was the owner!
Giving Wallace that dime was
just a fatherly whim. But In COL
laborating with his son In putting
something over on mother. father
inadvertently caused the boy to
live q succession Of lies. Such ex-
perience. especially II repeated.
has q bad effect upon a child's
character and peace Of mind. since
1t robs him of confidence and his
mothers approval.
