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.

I became suddenly conscious of the
vernal touch today by the sight of a
gaily ribboned straw hat In a Sak'a

rounded the comor in an apricot-
toned suit, flaunting a breast pocket

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

HOW MI CH SALT
Some homeopathic physicians, stout
fellows. Ingested for months common
salt In quantities far above the nor
mal. 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.

he could get more refreshment and

By FRANK JENKINS.
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.

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.
