Bill laaac was In their mtdat last week, to see tee bb. tourney, and "the ghosts of great Medlord teams of the past flit across the maple courts." How the ghost would laugh If told, "It's not ao much the winning, but the way you lose that counts." Gov. Martin was here Prl. and was greeted by the host of Democracy of this county. Many can remember when J. Prank Wortman was the host, and Mose Barkdull the hostess of JackBon county democracy. The chief executive was not perturbed, visibly, by the problem to make 12 Jobs fit 10.000 Democratic applicants, most of whom can trace their Democracy back to the day they got mad at Hoover. Spring made Its debut on the 31st, and was not auspicious. The Older Girls and farmers are Irked by the weather, and will either recall, or hang It. H. Flewher, the demon baker, who ! rampaged through an Oregon City door to rescue a boy, who rescued J himself, la receiving compliment for t his strength and bravery.

The gladiators and customers behaved themselves, and the bouts were featured by clever and scientific mayhem. The John Perl almond blossoms, as usual, aie out first and ready to be killed by the frost. The rich are getting richer, and the poor more so, but those who aie neither, are not as mad as they used to think they were. Quite a few of the local dudea are running around with new hats, fea turing a chic rooster feather In the hat-band. They are supposed to wear this headgear on the sides of their heads, but not talk out of the corners of their mouths. War Is threatened anew In Europe. All local participants In the last one feci they got enough the first time. C. Wing, the realtor, was among the lucky ones who received a check last week for hops he did not raise, but wished he had.

WINDOW GLASS Wt eel) wliAftw glass and will replace your broken windows reasonshly Trnwhridgt Visb Inet Work Cm Uail rrlbuiM waul ac Editorial Correspondence PASADENA, Calif., March 21. Pasadena is a Paradise for older people there are so many of them. It makes no difference how old you are, you pan find plenty of contemporaries; and it makes no dil'lVrenec what your infirmities may be you will find them duplicated in your immediate neighborhood. For the older boys and firls therefore Pasadena has a certain clubby atmosphere that can't be duplicated anywhere else in the United States. When all Aniericnns over !0 retire on their $200 per month pensions, we expect to see about Wn of them, settle in the Crown City. And once settled they will never leave. Why should theyf Kor those who have passed the three score and ten Pasadena is the "promised land." Yet strangely enough the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce, has to date, refused to go on record in favor of the Townscnd plan. That like some other things will no doubt come later. . The Pasadena Community Playhouse has been operating for 17 years and has given some 4L'4 plays during this time. In the little theatre movement, it ranks as a pioneer, and is graded as among the best two or three in the entire country. We attended last night to sec the "Mystery of the'Board- walk Asylum" from the novel by Cecil K. Reynolds, based upon Hamlet's familiar remark that "there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." ..... A nuttier idea, to our mind, has never been put upon the stage, nor a less convincing one. The performance clearly demonstrated the superiority of the movies, in the direction of fantastic melodrama. The idea briefly is that of projecting personalities into the dim and distant past, through hynotic suggestion, some of them only going back to the time of Charles the First and Julius Caesar, others to prehistoric times, when men walked on all fours and were covered with scales instead of Hart, Schaffner & Marx. The sadistic doctor in charge of the borderline sanitar ium, did his dirty work by means of u camera-like projector, and the burning of Chinese punk, until he was surrounded by a terror stricken "dummy", a monk who intoned Latin, Julius Caesar's lady doctor, a female elocutionist who thought she was Juliet, a knock-kneed Knglish beef eater, a mistress of Charles First, and some fanatical Spanish gent whose name we didn't catch but who ranted and cavorted about the stage like a Co manche witch doctor. This strange assortment of "nuts" might have been put over on the silver screen, with its superior technical skill and more convincing stage atmosphere the eerie note could have been built up and sustained, but not so behind the footlights of the community theatre. A couple of debutantes behind us giggled throughout the pciformance and we couldn't blame them. After the second act it was also plain why Charlie Chaplin endorsed the play in manuscript, and then when this fact was advertised refused to see it. Charlie eouldn 't have resistod hop ping on the stage himself. It would have provided a perfect vehicle for his type of comedy but without him The M.fstery of Broadwalk Asylum was a dud, as a mystery play, and because everyone took it seriously, failed to register as a farce. ..... We will say this however with the material given them, the community players did an excellent job. This was particularly true of Gilmor lirown who took the lead as Or. Kmil Julius, and except when the "scaly man" grabbed him and pulled him behind the scenes, and he failed to disguise his relief, that the show was over, gave a very finished and convincing performance. Our old friends hero are unanimous in declaring this the wettest and coldest winter in Pasadena since Fra Junapero walked from San Diego to San Jose without, his snowshocs. It is raining now and this morning the sky was dark with smudge smoke from the orange belt, where the mercury hit 29 in the lower levels. However for no reason at all, we rather like it. K. W. R. NEW YORK DAY BY DAY By O. O.'McIntyre NEW YORK. March 33. Out yon der Spring la aromatic and warm with the excitement of new prom ises. In New York It's Just another Miirch. Gasolene odors quench the delectable savor of opening buds, tender upshoots of grnss and oth er phenomena of creation In gen tic stir. Many small town exiles long for the sturdy whack of the carpet stick the h u c k s tcr's cry "Un - yuns, fresh un-yunsl through the open windows, in our metropolitan neigh borhood the only tip-off of Spring comes from Helen Gould window boxes, freshly earthed for seasonal geraniums. I became suddenly conscious of the vernal touch today by the sight of a gaily ribboned straw hat In a Sak'a avenue window. Further along, op posite the Gotham, came spring, tra la. In full bloom. A mincing sprig rounded the comor in an apricot- toned suit, flaunting a breast pocket kerchief of green. At a park entrance a venerable woman's leash of toy balloons tugged against a skylarking breeze. A IMnza Jehu chucked his ancient nag In the withers and, feeling the pulling of what It might have thought was Spring, shifted its weight. I turned back, too discouraged even to look for a robin. In the meander through Mth street's gush of light the other evening I paused before a catch-penny curio hall. A perspiring and excessively communicative barker was bucking up hesltants with extravagant hlppo dromlng. Especially ho stressed Ok- rlno. the Golden Skinned Girl of the Antilles. 1 squandered a dime. In Harlem they call Okilnos "high yal lers," But everybody grinned amia bly.

Most nelf revcnlmenls are!liie tinged with h)poctacy. Bui there tfkge an honesty about Sheean's that makes one lay down hla book with the sincere murmur: "I wish I might have written thatt" An Englishman told me the other day that he believes the Virginia beauty. Lady Astor, has become the most forceful woman of her time In hla country. Her amazing popularity he said, extended to all classes. He told especially of her domination In her district around Southampton, noted' for cockney cheek and rough sailors who used to rnzz her speech making unmercifully. Any heckling now, he sold, would Incite violence. I've read of sudden fright stand ing one's hair on end. I got a whiff of It an evening this week. Absorbed at my typewriter, I wo conscious of a presence nnd glanced up. In the doorway stood a phantasy out of a fever rielerlum a midget nosed like Punchinello with bulging button eyes that rolled In their sockets and a horrible glitter of T. R. cartoon teeth. It proved to be Ray Long, Jr. trying out paraphernalia from a mail-order aleuth-ln-your-apare-tlme detective school Lock Box D., Dept. J.. Altoona, Pa. I passed It off In an upper register gibber: "I knew who It was nil the time, ho, ho. All the time I did!" A vibrant blonde, saucily surtout ed who might have passed for Mae Murray in the old Sans Soucl days sat next to me at a Madison avenue sat next me at a madlson ave. foun tain, sipping hot chocolate. Finished, she pushed her 35c check to me. of small change." I felt as I did the night Alf Ressner and I paid a buck each to see Fatlma with a street car nival. "Midnight session, boyst Shh-h. we're leaving town In 30 minutes. See Fatlma In the dance that brought on the Sultan's atrokel" I've got to begin looking cltljed or get out of New York. It's not exaggeration that I Invari ably attract swarm of those Ar gentine sellers of filthy post cards under the sturdy porticos of the rue de Rlvoll. Nor will they accept my vehement "Nos" as final. They have often followed me from Sulka's to Rumplemayers. In fact I've had to wrestle with two. But they never bother Watterson Rothseker.

Amon the effects they ex perienced were the follow lng: Inflammatory ir ritations of the skin, boils, ec zema, hives, in creased fall ing out of the hair flushes, d 1 z z 1 neas, migraine -headaches, sneez ing, swelling of lining of nose with wstery dis charge, clogging or nose, bronchitis with thick sputum, belching, lstrttls, mucous colitis, fatigue, muscular rheumatism and palpitation of th heart on slight exertion. (I quote this from Foldes, New Approach to Dietetic Therapy, Oorham Press. Bos ton. 1933). Lest some of you neurotics intem perate ly awear off from aaJt, I hasten to assure you that I myself take ) this with a grain of salt. I believe that while there may be something In It there Is not all that in It, by a Jugful. Among animals hcrblvora require salt, but earn Ivor a do not for they g t enough salt in the blood or flesh of their prey. Man's salt requirement varies with his diet. If his diet in cludes much meat, fish. milk, eggs he doesn't need much salt, but If his diet Is more largely of vegetables, fruits and cereals he must have more salt, that la, salt added to the food. With Increased ingestion of salt there la Invariably retention of more aalt and more water in blood and tissues. With decreased intake of aalt the extra salt and water Is ex creted. Individuals who habitually consume much generally reduce sev eral pounds and look and feel bet ter If they cut out adding aalt to their food for a while. A salt-poor diet has been used with more or less success in the treatment of high blood pressure and certain cases of kidney disease with a tendency toward dropsy. Chemists estimate that the nor mal body contains 100 grama (a lit tle ever three ounces) of aalt. An adult requires from VA ounce to an ounce ot salt dally, most of which Is naturally present In meat, fish, eggs, milk, cheese, fowl or game. Some of this dally ration of salt la excreted In the sweat. In condi tions where there Is profuse sweat ing a large amount of salt Is lost In this way. Moss observed that Bir mingham miners working in warm air became exhausted less rapidly If supplied with drinking water con taining one-fifth of one per cent common salt. At Bolder Dam It has been found that men working In extreme heat are less likely to suffer heat stroke or exhaustion If they take some salt with every drink of water. The same precaution has proved most ef fective in preventing heat cramps. It is now an established practice to have a dispensing machine be side the drinking fountain so that a man taking a drink of water may take hla gram (about IS grains) of salt along with It.

BARBARA HUTTON, $42,000,000 Wool worth heiress, announces in London that she is headed for Reno to divorce Prince Alexis Mdlvant. whom she married In a blare of publicity some two years ago. WELL, why shouldn't sheT She has what she wanted, which la a title for. while ahe may di vorce the prince, ahe WONT divorce the title of princess, which will cling to her the rest of her life, Just as the title of Judge clings to every man who was ever elected po lice Judge or county Judge, or the title of colonel clings to every Ken tucklan who ever served on th gov ernor's staff. We're a tltle-lovlng people, and Barbara Is no exception to the gen eral rule. AS for the prince, he probably haa what he wanted, also although Barbara tells the reporters that ahe isn't going to settle a penny on him and that he'll have to shift for him self hereafter. If you believe that Huey Long la actually going to divide up all the wealth In the country, Including HIS OWN, with those who need it worse than he .does, you're a sufficiently trustful soul to believe that Prince Mdivanl Is willing to give up one of the world's richest young women without a struggle and without a cent, but If you're an average sort of citizen you'll grin cynically and say: "Oh, yeah?" These Impoverished European princes haven't been In the habit of doing that In the past, and they'll probably start the habit about the time the leopard changes Its spots. SafiABBtUMItBBSI 11 L of MikrUtnnwn mrr Ufa SO we may safely dismiss tha Rut-ton-Mdlvanl Incident with the observation that each has had out of It what was most wanted. Including a lot of publicity, and that nobody haa been hurt. BUT, before dismissing It. why not ask this question: What business haa addle -pa ted Barbara Hutton with 142.000.000 that she didn't help to earn and for which she knows no better use than buying ahopworn and rather badly soiled Balkan princes? BARBARA HtTTTOV Is the heiress to a considerable ehare of the Wool worth fortune, which was built out of a new Idea In merchandising. The founder of that fortune was entitled to keep and use every cent of It aa long aa he lived, for by bring ing a new Idea Into merchandising he earned what he got. His WORK ING successors are entitled to keep their share, for as long aa they work they are giving something for what they get. But this writer, who Isn't a radi cal and who haa no use whatever for radical doctrtnes, doubts gravely the wisdom, of permitting great for tunes to pass on Into the hands of Idle and useless descendants who give back to society nothing propor tionate to what they take from It. AND THIS, In Its turn, raises an other question: If we should take from Barbara Hutton and her idler and wastrel kind the wealth they did nothing to earn, what should we do with it? Give it to the government? THAT would hardly be smart, for In these modern days govern ments are among the greatest wastrels and spendthrifts we have. The wise way, which hasn't yet been found, would be to keep wealth in the hands of WORKERS who win go on using It to create more wealth to be used In raising; the standards ot average human living.
