(ETmporls (Ksn ) Ossette) Editorial Correspondence AGUA CALIENTE, Mexico, March 30. When prohibition was repealed everyone predicted this- splendiferous Mexican spa would fold up, and join the other casualties of the Great Depression. But nothing of the sort happened. Today Agua Calient is the most popular week-end resort in California, and we can furnish first hand evidence of the fact, after seeing a score of cars drive up to the entrance, and then drive away, because the place was full up and Caesar's in Tia Juana was having hard work to take care of the overflow. How comet The answer we take it is, that one Baron Long is a vera smart hombre. The Baron isn't REALLY a baron, having been born in Indiana and moved west to seek his fortune many years ago. But he manages Agua now, as well as the Diltmore in Los Angeles and the General Grant Hotel in San Diego, and when it comes to running hotels or racing stables, mahogany bars or swanky gambling clubs, the Baron knows his onions. Yes indeedv. Our information is he is making a sensational success of all three establishment and having been a guest at two of them we see no reason to doubt it. And we would say the Baron's recipe for beating the de pression is essentially a very simple one giving the dear Amer ican public more for their money than they can get anywhere else. There is no question about that at this extremely attractive resort. Considering EVERYTHING, rooms, food, service, and recreationiil facilities five dollars will go farther here than any where else on the North American continent or at least after a three day test that is OUR opinion. And the Baron has been very smart about it. The Agua Caliente hotel could very easily have been killed bv prohibition repeal if it had catered solely to those who wished to cross the lino and go on a prolonged week end bust, after the fashion of the old hoop er up saloon days. Or it could have been killed if it appealed solely to those with more money than sense the gilded and flaming youth from Hollywood and Los Angeles for example. In short in spite of its really delight ful architecture, beautiful grounds, and many attractions, if Agua Caliente had been allowed to degenerate into just another tough joint ' it would have long since passed ont of the pic ture. As it would if it had catered only to the idle rich, when thanks to the depression this class in America practically vanished. But from the outset these dangers have been carefully avoided. There is nothing sanctimonious or straight laced about Agua Caliente. HARDLY! The hotel boasts one of the largest and most gorgeous bars in the world, gambling of all kinds goes on full swing in the Casino day and night, and from 7 p. m. until daylight, dancing in the dining room to the strains of a splendid Mexican orchestra, practically never stops, but the salient note of the place nevertheless remains, essentially respectable, entirely decent, particularly at lunch eon time one might say touristy and middle class. Luncheon costs a dollar, it not only includes a delicious three course meal, perfectly served, but a bottlo of wine, and a musi cal floor show that is typically Mexican and in every way first class. Iot surprising that luncheon at Agua Caliente, is placed on practically every tourist's program in southern California. Another thing. The hotel proper, where one sleeps, and may if one wishes have tray service, is entirely removed from the whoopie portions of the establishment. Corks may be pop ping or dice rattling in the Casino, the wedding party from Anaheim may have reached the hula-hula stage m the ball room, but in the hotel all is as quiet and peaceful as Happy Camp ut midnight. All in all quite an achievement, that is to sustain such a balance go pretty far in all directions and not too far in any it takes brains and executive skill of a high order. The Baron or those he hires to do the job must have both. There is also swimming in a warmed tiled pool, tennis and horseback riding and an 18 holo golf course, .where the pros hold their tournament in January and where a dub can battlo over hill and dale all day for only one dollar. If you stay a week, these things will cost you nothing! - We hope this doesn't sound like a "reader ad" for the Agun Caliente. That is eerlainly not our intention. But the place has really interested us, as an example of clever and skillful hotel management, during what have probably been the tough est days in the hotel business in the history of this country. The secret of this success as stated at the outset, appears to us to be giving the people a little more for their money than they can got anywhere else. In this verdict we have left out entirely the horse racinc and gambling features horse races over the week end, gambling all he time. That business of getting your money's worth assumes vou DON'T try to pay your expenses by picking winners iu EITHER department in short that either you cut. out the gambling ENTIRELY, or are that rare specimen that can strict ly confine gambling to entertainment only wager not only what you can afford, but are perfectly willing to lose and then lorgct it. One frequently hears Agua Caliente can afford to eiva such value to its patrons because it more than makes up on its gamb ling revenues what it loses on its hotel. That mav be allliouixh a hotel man in San Diego told us, Agua sometimes loses as much as ifoOOO per day on rmilt'lte alone, that is when the breaks arc against the house. However, we wish it clearly understood what we say of Agua Caliente, refers to it as a hotel and hotel ONLY NOT as the American Monte Carlo, Getting your money's worth, it' you are the type who can't hear the dice rattle, the little ball spin, or the cry from the barrier "They're off" without turning your pocket hook upside down, -and betting across the board well as Kipling didn't say that is DECIDEDLY another storv !

In 1030 Dr. Edmund Jacobaon of the Physiological Laboratory. Univer sity of Chicago, gave to the profem- Blon the results of twenty years of study of neu romuscular ten sion and relaxa tion, in a vol ume liuued from the University of Chicago Press, entitled "Progrea slV0 Relaxation." On o c c a s I on X have recommend ed this book, tho always with a feeling that per haps the reader would wonder, aa I did on first reading, what It was all about. But I believed Dr. Jacob son had hold of an Important thera peutic principle, a valuable remedial measure which bad not been ade quately developed In practice, and with each new raasle with the pro voking work I found more and more meat in It. Cluttering up this domicile of daw dle Is a good vanload of books. mostly medical. I keep them, not be cause the bindings look beautiful on the shelves, but because every time I look at them I am freshly re minded what a sucker I have always been for medical books and what suckers most doctors are. Among the rows on rows of volumes which are not worth shelf space as professional Implements or reference works, it Is comforting to find that In all the extravagant years I've been grabbing at medical publishers bait I have collected a yard of books which con tained fresh meat, not old stuff warmed over. Osier's "Practice" (often called the doctor's bible). McKenzle's "Exercise," MacKenzie'a "Heart." Rcsenau's "Hygiene," How ell's "Physiology," Sherman's ''Nutri tion," Duffle's "Diabetes," McNam ara's "Hemorrhoid Injection," McCol lum end Simmonds' "Food and Henlth," Darwin's "Emotions," Can non's "Pear." And I shouldn't wonder If Jaccbson's "Relaxation" pushed Its way In amenpst these honest books, along with Alvarez's "Nervous Indi gestion,' U. S. labor department chlldien's bureau's "Infant Care," and Mosher's "Hygiene for Women." Not the present edition, for it needs simplification or clarification, so or dinary doctors can get the hang of it. But a new edition which will be more in the vein of Dr. Jacobson's excellent little book "You Must Re lax," published by Whittlesey house. New York, 1934. Now I began to get the idea, on reading this book which Dr. Jacob son got out for the simple layman. I hope the popularity of the little volume will inspire him to have an other go at It and this time try to talk down to us ordinary doctors, too. Moat of the stuff published In books, magazines and "course" on "nerve control" and how to relax" seems nutty to me. But then, you neurotics know what a crude. Igno rant, sarcastic one I am about ner vous imposition, so we need not dwell longer on that. Suffice that tt la not so plausible aa the bunk merchants make It sound, to lift oneself with one's own bootstraps. - It ts physically impossible to be nervous In any part of your body if In that part you are completely re laxed, observes Dr. Jacobson, and he undertakes to teach progressive re laxation tn this excellent little book, as a direct and specific treatment for what ta frequently called "ner vousness" or "nerve tension" Is ex cessive muscular contraction or mus cular rigidity, according to Dr. Jacob son's view, and whether this Is the whole story or not, it will pay such Individuals to learn how to economize In their useless muscle work. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Vacuum Bottle. Is It all right to put milk that has syrup and water mixed In It In a vacuum bottle, for feeding the baby, when I have to be away all day? Mrs. P. B. W. Answer Better first bring the milk to a boll for only a moment, and then let It cool a bit before you put it In the vacuum bottle. Be sure to give the baby some fresh fruit Juice daily. Detailed Instruc tions In "Brady Baby Book'' for a copy send dime and stamped enve lope bearing your address. Fish Oil. I have been taking hallver oil cap sules every day for four months and find I have not had so many colds this winter. Would you advise me to continue taking them, and tf so fo how many more months? Mrs. P. W. B. Answer No. You can get adequate vitamin D from metabolized vita min D milk, and plenty of A from eggs, liver, kidney, butter, raw car rot, en carole, cream cheese, spinach. Who Can Drink When Not Thirsty? Borne doctors say drink B or 10 glasses of water a day. In his book on diet Dr. Hay says to drink water onlv when thirsty. Who 1b right? T. F. Answer I think It would be a pretty severe punishment to drink when not thirsty. Yet some elderly, feeble persons drink a glass or even a whole pint of water first thing each morning, and what's more they take it warm, and believe It or not, some of 'em stir a little salt tn it which I think would be bad hygiene even if It were good to drink.
