The California Pacific Inter national Kxposition opens here two months hence, and with l!0,(Hi(i,(l(0 invested Sn Diego expects to entertain a record lirewliiiif; crowd at Hulboa park where the former "world's fair" was n'wcn. The general public can't (jet into the grounds now, but wandering newspaper men are admitted. An army of 1500 men are now working on the new buildings, divided into three eight hour shifts. It's a busy and rather confusing place. The setting is naturally a beautiful one, some of the former fair buildings were permanent ones, and ivy grown and mellowed by age, provide an attractive nucleus for the new venture. Henry Ford is constructing a permanent building, and so is one of the large tire companies. Trusses for the California state building, arc being swung into place, and the new landscaping has been completed. No doubt this fair !ike the original one, will be small, as compared to the Chicago exposition for ex ample, but will make up in quality what it lacks in quantity. In natural beauty it promises to be a gem of loveliness. . Those Americans who are complaining about the severity and persistence of the depression, might find it profitable to take a motor trip 20 or '2o miles south of Agua Caliente and sec how the Mexican agrarians are making out in the wide open spaces of Lower California. They have had nothing but bare subsistence for GKNKKATIONS no motor cars, no radios, no plumbing, no electric lights or telephones, no modern tools or machines, just a few rude implements, a few chickens and pigs, enough corn and beans, to keep body and soul together. Yet superficially at least there are no signs of squalor or discontent. On feast days the natives gather and dance and sing, old and young, with freshly scrubbed babies much in evidence. Hack in San Diego it seems somewhat incongruous to find complain ing America, with its record breaking debt, and millions on relief, spending $20,000,000 for an international exposition, !)()' of which, six months hence, will be thrown on the scrap heap! .

The other day some citizen wrote to the pa per to praise the decision of the graduating class tn high achool to serve no liq uor at the class dinner ihla year. The more license children in high school are given to Imitate college men and women with fraternities, sororities, football mock-heroics and theatrical extravaganza,' the leas conspicuous la scholarship. If some hulking adult still jn high achool makes the headlines In the football game., the principal calls a general assembly to celebrate the achieve ment, and this is shrewdly calculated to distract the attention of parent from the inferior order of school work. One high achool teacher, an anx ious mother informs me, assures the girls of her chorus her class, I moan that It Is all right to smoke as long , aa you don't Inhale. I Probably I am narrow, prejudiced I and old-fashioned about these things but Z can't conceive of a sound argu ment or defense for amoking by chil dren, and moat of us are children until we reach the age of 23 to 35 years. I still think that smart par ents will a.sk every boy or girl to give ! solemn pledge not to smoke or drink until he or she has attained full Pdull development, and to renew j that pledge each year. I still believe that football Is a grown man's gnme, suitable for col lege or university men, but much too Htrcnuous for normal growing boys. I und;l believe that many high school' youths who go in for football and ! perhnps win a brief glory of a sort! are physically damaged by heart ; strain from which full recovery la al- ! ways uncertain. A ben 's heart has I enough to do to stand up to the I ordinary strains of normal physical ana atnietic activities while he la growing.

Such performers cannot be booked save In remote sections of honkey-tonks. Even a burlesque uf the Idea 'gets the bird. The fact Is these androgynous antics have al ways proved precarious, yet there were many exponents. Julian Eltlnge was the only actor to surround fern Inine sutures with dignity. So much so a big theatre was named for him. Bert Savoy. In the same field, tinged his fly-up-the-creek-lady portrayal with a guttery commonness that cre ated a Winter Gordon following. When Eltlnge retired and lightning killed Savoy there were none to take their places. Caroyl Norman, as The Cre ole Fashion Plate, came nearest to re capturing a smidgin of the interest with an engagement or so at the Pal ace, but never quite made the grade. Deservedly or not, moderns began to look on female impersonations as pa thetically psycopathlc. They either jeered or walked. Incidentally Mrs. Bert Savoy, now a white-haired hotel housekeeper In Chicago. Is preparing a biography of the Jovial coiner ot "You must come over." She will reveal that much of the Marge comic's enormous earning went toward a search to establish his parentage. His first remembrance was an orphanage.

Cal. ill III (Continued from Page One) this Is to arouse public Interest In his government ownership bill. The best disinterested authorities hero believe government ownership Is an ultimate necessity, but that It Is not yet near enough to warrant the current despondency of the rail chiefs. The reason Huey Long fought against the relief bill so 'hard Is that he knows the new dealers will ad minister It In Louisiana so as to hurt him and help themselves. He Is not far wrong about that.

More than 100 field Investigators are now employed In one bureau. A few weeks ago, Mr. Roosevelt adopted a habit of going over his guest list each morning to decide which callers he wanted to see. and for how long. His secretaries take the blame with dissatisfied callers, and thus have aroused a lot of people against themselves, as all good sec retaries should.

Opinions, both In and out of the lumber Industry, will differ sharply aa to whether that la good or bad. And It la a fact, which no one will undertake to deny, that the lumber business baa been better alnce NRA than It waa Just before. But It hasn't been particularly rushing, at that. epHIS Is the only thing that will A make the lumber business really GOOD large consumption of lumber. NOTHING ELSE can. WHEN annual consumption of lum ber runs somewhere from 30 bll. llona to 35 billions of feet, the lum ber business la good. Jt la now run ning aomewbere around half that. We can paaa laws till we are black In the face, but until we can get people to using large quantities the lumber business won't be really good. UNDER the stimulation ot AAA. wlt.h It nrmwulnv t.IM. Its killing of pigs and Its general llml tlon of production aided by severe drought in the Middle West meat prices are rising rapidly. But already people are limiting their oonsumpt'ion of meat because of the rise in prices. Sooner or later, thla limitation of consumption will catch up with limi tation of production and we shall be right back where we started. THE railroads, you will note If you are a careful reader of the head lines, have been denied permission to make an horizontal increase in rates. but are permitted to make EMER GENCY Increases. That is to say, the Interstate com merce commission considers that the railroads are already charging about all the traffic will bear and won't be helped by permanent increase in rates. ' GOVERNMENT regulation of rail roads has been a sort of railroad NRA. which haa been going on for years and years. That la to aay. It haa permitted the rallroada to pass on to the public, In the form of high er rates, the added costs which It haa forced them to Incur, and It has prevented them from chiseling on each other. One railroad, as everyone knows, is not permitted to quote low er rates than Its direct competitor In an effort to get business. Have the railroads prospered un der this form of NRA under which they have been operating for many years? Well, their agonized walls of protest at what haa been done to them hardly Indicate It. And the railroads, which have been operating under a sort of NRA, have been losing business steadily to the buses and trucks and the boats. which have NOT. THERE is a move on now to regu late the buses and the trucks and the boats in the same way the rail roads are regulated, and while this would be a good thing for the rail roads it wouldn't be particularly good for the shipper, for it would take away from him whatever advantage in the way nf lower rates these competing forms of traffic have given him. NRA is fine In theory, and it must be admitted that TEMPORARILY Its results have been good rather than bad. But over the long pull Its effect Is going to be to raise prices generally, and the inevitable effect of raising prices Is to reduce consumption. This writer finds It hard to believe that reducing consumption can be permanently good for business. 4 Trail TRAIL. April 4. (SpU Mrs. Ro- selma Cusick of Stockton.
