HEVuUu may tN0KU " AttA0 a~es involved Ia the story. According 70 enc book by Leonard L. Levlnson, Strauss was ballyhooed hy Q New York showman as the slnatra of his day. one of the gals who fell Tor him was Q Boston blueblood, ana strauss, posing as Q bachelor, nn- aiiy had to cable for his missuB to hustle over and get him unlnvolveu..
 This ls told with Q maximum oi dullness and stale jokes, most of which ere in the mouth Of Ralph Dumke, Q large party who can DO funny when given the right mater ial The part of Strauss is Q nom singing one. which seems Co me to be ( mistake In any musical show. The principals should sing, it seems to me, whether in real life it would be in character for them tc do SO or not, It couldn't have been any worse than Co have George Rigaud, who plays the lead, going through tho performance posturlng now and then with c fake violin while on one stage player performed. This Re gaud, by the way, hos what seems like Q thoroughly unhappy time m badly conceived role. one disap- pointed patron was moved to cotn-
 nent after the premiere that the show suffered from "Rigaud Eifor- tis." M
 The music is the only saving grace, and personally ! didn't think there was enough of Strauss in it. Robert stols, an cid viennese expert himself, handled the score, rework" ing Ave of Strauss pieces and con. tributing about 10 of his own. or Stolss originals, "Who Knows2" and Unto the Night were wonderful
 Virginia MacWatterS has the role of the Boston girl who falls Tor Johann and she has one of the best coloraturas around these parts Others prominently concerned are Edward J. Lambert, Florence Sund. strom, Ruth Matteson and Harold Lang. The latter is ballet dancer and scores better than anyone else.
 The production Is presented and directed by Felix Hrentano.
 THE drama gained nothing but
 Il notoriety by the production Of "A Boy Who Lived Twice" This play by Leslie Floyd Egbert and Gertrude ogden Hubby, produced by Hall Shelton, is as mixed Up c hash of psychlAtry as I've ever seen on the stage. The firstsnight audience laughed in the wrong places which Is enough of Q criticism,
 The plot concerns two young men who presumably de in siEnultAns eous accidents many miles apart, The sister of Philip, left alone With the body, utters the wish that ne come back. He stirs and revives, but he remembers only another life, that of the other youth, John. John, or course revIves offstage and has Phlllps' soul and memories. In trys ing to get the souls back In the right bodies there iS 6 lot Of psychiatrlc talk, hypnosis and what not. It doesn't work out. John-who.is. Philip commits suicide, Philip. .who- is.John remains that way and falls in love with his supposed sister. This proves to Do oil right in the end because it seems that tho cotis meeting link between the two youths was that they were identical twins separated ct birth. ..

 PYORRHEA IS DEGENERATION
 On several occasions have talk cd about this before, and even if ] seem to harp on it I must repeat now and again that, as it appears to me, e careful study of Nutrition and Physical Degeneration, by Wes- ton A. Price, DDS, published by Hoeber of Harper e Bros. (now out Of print but perhaps available at the public llbrary) and an article by w. Robert Foran on Tristan do Cunna in National Geographic Ma gaEine, Nov. 'Se, is essential for a fair comprehension of the nature of pyorrhea or whatever name you prefer to apply to it.
 The unsophisticated layman and the small calibre doctor and dentist may imagine there is some divid- ing line between e healthy state of jaw bones, gums, tooth sockets and teeth and pyorrhea, and that den- tise who knows his business can de- eide by examination whether you have or have not pyorrhea.
 Maybe Q specialist" of some sort could do that for you, Stu (short for stupid-if I spell 1t out some stupid people resent it furiously) but if my jawbone Cah, ah, lot ua dispense with obvious), tooth sockets, gums and teeth were un- der the scrutiny of physician, den- tist or specialist l wouldn't pay any attention. After oil 1t would make little difference what the physician or dentist might prefer to call the trouble if had one or more of these symptoms, which Louis I, 0rossman, DDS, D,M,D., describes as symptoms of pyorrhea alveolaria in The CyclOpedla of Medicine, Surgery and Speclaltles, Vol. x '43:

ial Valley and member of the first

The death of this desert empire
builder occurred while he was in the
northern part of California visiting
his daughters and sons He and his

rip north. Shortly after they ar
rived in the bay district, Clark suf-
fered a heart attack and failed to

her ankle is in a cast and she is
confined to her bed.
Funeral services will be held at

ment and development of Imperial
Valley as Clark.
He was born in sod house on the
plains Of Illinois January II, 1868
The family consisted of IA boys and
two girls.

SACRAMENTO, April 10.
A bill to extend the maxi
mum period of unemploy-
ment insurance benefits to 26 weeks
was approved for passage Tuesday
by the assembly finance and insur-
ance committee.
The precent maximum is % weeks
under state law, but 26 weeks under
federal law. The bill gaining COM
mittee approval would correlate the
state and federal systems, Assem-
blyman John C. Lyons, (R0, Los
Angeles, author CT the measure,
said.
Opponents said the additional
benefits period could cost the state
unemployment insurance fund $14O;-
100000 a year. However, spokesmen
for the California Federation of
Labor and CIO pointed cut this
would occur only under extreme
unemployment conditions and still
would leave $2OO,00O,0OO in the fund
on June 80, 1947.

Pioneers Ready
Relics Museum

Imperial Valley pioneers this week
collected their priced relics OF early
settlement days and prepared to
take them to the Pioneer Museum
at the fair grounds Saturday in the
first collection campaign of the
Imperial Valley Pioneers associa-
ton.
Pioneers have battled for years
to get a museum in which may be
displayed the mementos of the past
and at their annual picnic and
meeting at the fair grounds Satur-
day will assemble the first exhibits.
c. F. Boarts, president of the pio-
neer association, said a committee
will be on duty Saturday to accept
the exhibits, ticket them, and issue
receipts to the donors. He explained
that it is necessary to get the ex-
hibits into the museum building
before the committees will know
what will be needed to display them
properly.
Collections of exhibits will be
made from time to time and ade-
quate display facilities provided for
them. Boarts said the collection of
relics will be one of the most i'm
portant contributions of the pioneers
to Imperial Valley.
The annual business meeting of
the association will begin at 1890
am. Saturday. Beans, coffee, and
buttermilk will be provided by the
refreshments committee. Those who
attend will provide their own bas-
ket dinners.

Battle OF Rags
Something shady is afoot between
the KiWanians and the RotarianS
in El Centre. In fact they're fight
ing over who donates the most used
clothing to the needy in the war
torn countries.
The whole thing started when the
Kiwanians slapped the following in
the faces of the RotarianS
WHEREAS-the Kiwanis club
recognizes the fact that Rotarians
have had an average of 20 years
more per member in which to ac-
uuire old clothes; and that their
standard of dress is such that the
clothes Rotary does now possess
and wear are more readily claSSed
as "old" than are the more youth
tul garments of the more sartorial-
ly splendid young men Of Kiwanls;
and also does KiWanis admit 1t will
have no way of ascertaining wheth-
er the clothes to be con ributed to
this drive by Rotary will have been
lawfully OF otherwise acquired.
NOW THEREFORE AND NEVER
HELESS-Kiwanis does hereby
issue and extend a challenge to Ro-
tary to collect and contribute more
pounds of clothes per member un-
der following terms and conditions: :
members of Rotary as of this
date are 81, of Kiwanis 46. (Which
proves the Rotarians are more num-
erous even though of not as high
quality as Kiwanians)

The heaviest toll in the aerial

One destroyer and a 8000-ton

Attack planes and fighters of the
Fifth Air Force blasted enemy sup

Two U. S. Divisions were slowly
closing in on Baguio, japanese
headquarters in the Philippines.
One force was reported less than
three miles from the southeast.
while the other approached within
six miles of the northwestern corner
of the city.
In Central Luzon, the Sixth di-

ports said the Japanese were fiercely
