SOBOBA HOT SPRINGS, Calif., March 13. Another Friday
the 33th and the week-end boys and girls are coming in.
Lucky for the hotel but not so lucky for those who have come
here for the peace and quiet of an isolated winter resort. It
is the same all over this section of California. Friday, Saturday
and Sunday everything is full up. According to report it is
that way all week, and all season over the mountain at Palm
Springs. The best season there we are told since the pre
depression era.
Had a long distance call the other day from Roger Bennett,
former well known Medford resident, inviting us to come down
there and be his guest at the 1 Encanto which he is managing
this year. His son for many years has managed the swanky
Deep Wells Guest ranch, just outside of the Springs. Sorry we
couldn't accept, but circumstances prevented. Palm Springs
is of course the cremc de la creme of all California resortB, and
Deep Wells and El Encanto are the tops. Better luck neft
time. We'd like being a non-paying guest at a guest ranch.
.
Tried our hand at hitch hiking today, walked over to San
Jacinto about three miles distant.. A number of cars whizzed
past us, but only one stopped, just this side of San J. We
have seen ninny worn out Fords, but for general debility and
decrepitude this one surpassed anything we have observed out
side of a junk pile. It had only one fender, no hood, and the
seat cover was gone, we sat on the bare springs. Also there
was no top. But the darned thing ran, and we were duly
deposited at the village barbershop, which wag our destination.
The old boy at the wheel was in about the same condition
of disrepnir as his car. To make conversation in our brief
journey together asked him what he thought of the Townser.i,
plan. He said it sounded good to him at first but he bad talked
with the lawyer in town and decided it just couldn't be done.
He thought an old age pension of about $40 a month ought to
be possible, and he noticed Borah was for that. He thought a
lot of Bill Borah, chiefly because he was honest and "wouldn't
have no traffic with the politicians. ' He said all the troubles
in the country were due to the
It is amusing how the point of view changes. We were out
for a walk and didn't want a lift. But after about the 25th
car had passed us miles an hour, the cumulative effect somehow
got under our skin. True we wanted no help, needed none'
but how diil those birds dashing by 50 or 60 miles an hour
KNOW we didn't? The answer of course was they DIDN'T
know ill
We might have been some wandering Rip Van Winkle who
had just awakened and was having a race with death to the
nearest human habitation, for all the members of that motor
parade knew. The answer was they didn't give a hoot and
were in no mood to stop for anything short of a motor cop,
or a washout. An attitude incidentally which we share, when
ever we motor about, as far as the wandering hitch hiker is
concerned. And as far as that goes and in view of the number
of hitch hikers who turn yeggs, a perfectly proper attitude.
' e
Nevertheless wait until YOI happen to be a hitch hiker!
Unless we are much mistaken there will be a surprising and
abrupt change in viewpoint. There was with us on this very
brief pilgrimage. So much so that when this old boy in his
old rattle-trap of a Ford, eamc to a quivering stop and asked
if we didn't want a ride, wc were very much touched and would
no more have thought of declining his offer, than well, it
was simply one of those things that couldn't be done, that's all.
So we got in and found those bare springs not nearly as un
comfoi'tnblo as they looked.
It's all in the point of view. And the fact that all the big
cars, many of them with drivers, and the super-powered trucks.
went sniling by so contemptuously, while this broken down
Ford and the octogenarian truck farmer (he said he had three
acres of walnuts near the CCC headquarters) was the only one
to stop, no doubt had something to do with the emotional extent
of our reaction. That and we fear the irrepressible ego that
is in most of us.
And then as luck would have it' wc spoiled it all. Instead
of thanking the old boy and letting it go at that, we yielded
to a sudden impulse, and tried to force a dollar bill into his
hand, not for the ride, but just as a token of our deep appre
ciation, etc., etc. Had we pulled out a gun, and shoved it into
his mid section, the expression on his face could not have shown
more dumbfounded surprise and inarticulate resentment.
"Say, what're you trying to do, mistert" he .pushed us
away, slummed the wobbly little door shut, and chugged down
the street.
So that was that. Don't know the old bov's name, never
saw him before, will never see him again. Our only excuse for
dilating upon such a comparatively trivial incident is a feeling
that it may be symbolical perhaps an answer to nrevailinir
doubts what is going to happen
and precarious future.

ADMONITION TO
Most so-called "standard" tables of
"correct" weight lor various ages
and heights give merely the aver
age of a number
of persons, not
necessarily the
Ideal from the
viewpoint of
health, physical
efficiency and
longevity. In fact
no arbitrary fig'
ure can be re
garded as the
ideal for. say,
women aged 30
and 66 Inches In
stature. One wo
man of that age
and height may have a skeletal
framework quite different In capac
ity from the framework of another
of like age and stature. Racial, fam
ily and Individual types of skeletal
structure may make a difference of
much &a 16 pounds weight in
the normal nutritional state of
woman of that age and height.
Depth of chest of thorax, length of
body compared with length of limb,
and breadth of bony pelvis must all
be taken Into consideration when
determining the Ideal bulk.
Altho I still like 'em plump, this
is not an attempt to console the
outsize women. But I find so many
young women who want to reduce
when in fact they are not corpu
lent at all. There la considerable
risk Involved In any restriction of
the diet of a person who has not yet
attained full adult growth and de
velopment. Therefore X warn all girls
against trying to reduce without the
supervision of a physician. Women
or men past thirty may safely follow
a sound, rational design for dwindl
ing and actually gain Increased
health and vitality from the Im
proved nutrition. Irrespective of the
change in measurements.
The explanation of all this Is given
In the booklet "Design for Dwindl
ing" which will be mailed If you
send ten cents in coin and a stamp
ed addressed envelope for my con
venience.
A person on a diet low In carbo
hydrate, but yielding only two thou
sand calories (from fats and pro
teins) more quickly loses weight
than one on a diet yielding the
same number of calories, out in
cluding more carbohydrate. Carbo
hydrate food (any form of starch or
sugar) tends to hold a larger pro
portion of water In the tissues, and
even tho the patient ia actually
dwindling In flesh, In measurements.
the larger proportion of water re
tained in the cells and tissues of
the body keeps the weight up. If the
moderate reduction diet (a diet
yielding 2000 cslorlea a day la a
moderate reduction diet for a cor
pulent adult) is adhered to, in the

Ethiopia left France cold. What hap
pens In European diplomacy, you see,
all depends on whose ox Is being

WHATEVER you do, don't make the
mistake of thinking that htgft
motives are Involved ANYWHERE In
this European war mess.
Every move that Is made Is dictated
by cold selfishness.
YOU may be Interested In these ex
tracts from a Washington dis
patch ;
"Representative Zloncheck (Demo
crat. Washington) told the house of
representatives he would not object
to Representative Ekwall (Republican,
Oregon) discussing communism and
free speech 'If he wants to make a
fool of himself.
Ekwall retorted:
"If anybody has made a bigger Jack
ass of himself this session than the
gentleman from Washington, I don't

pany Is still a closed corporation,
and, ultra efficient. It will roll along
with President Roosevelt In the elec
tlon, which does not augur well for
the Republicans.
The Borah-Knox contest for Re
publican presidential delegates has
been all under the surface so far. It
will not be long. Senator Borah Is
coming In here for a couple or
speeches. Colonel Frank Knox will
take a swing downatate next week.
He will cover the state thoroughly
before primary day, April 14. but
the sub-surface arrangements for
delegates have developed a situation
equally as interesting as the Demo
cratic one.
For Instance, a Borah leader has
withdrawn as a candidate in one
important district, apparently on
the assumption that the opposing
delegate would also be for Borah.
The opposing candidate, whose elec
tion now is uncontested, apparently
has a different idea. At least, his
spokesmen have Indicated that Bo
rah will be the last man he will
vote for when he goes to Cleveland.
Not only from this incident, but
from others. It Is evident that some
of the candidates are going to be
fooled when the roll call starts at
Cleveland.
The truth la this mstter of dual
allegiance among prospective dele
gates Is so widespread through the
middle west that the primaries may
not mean what the tabulations will
seem to indicate.
For Instance, one of the popular
county leaders downstate has an
nounced that he will support anyone
his people want. He knows his par
ticular section Is for Borah. He will,
therefore, go to the Cleveland con
vention as a Borah delegate, but.
personally, everyone knows he Is not
a Borsh man. How long he will stick
to Senator Borah depends largely on
his conscience. It will certainly not
be more than two or three ballots.
The same situation prevails to
some decree within the Wisconsin
slate of Borah delegates. Thus, the
mam question may turn out to be
not how many delegates Borsh will
get, but for how long.

The I'nseen Hand
There Is a band that guides me,
Though I cannot see It near. ,
It makes me be brave. Insistent,
It saves me from all fear.
I have but to firmly grasp It
And walk as If by sight:
Though my eyes may be holden,
. Yet It guides my steps aright.
From this hand close beside me
' A vein of thought Is drawn
Like rays of brightest sunshine
Come the vision's perfect dawn.
Thus the thoughts and worda coma
to me
And their meaning bright and clear.
So the distant mystic portal "
Opens out and brings me near.
Thus the hand to me extended
Lifts me far above all strife.
And the firmness of Its clasping;
la the beacon In my life.
Mary o. Carey.
