ly the Mexicans who had to show their papers, one oi tne Mexi
cans at least he looked like one claimed he was born In Tucson,
Arizona, and therefore an American citizen. He was given the
third degree, but talked glibly without accent and got through
ok, as did all others.
Many years have passed since
the development . is astonishing. We predict it won't be many
years before that portion of California from Palm Springs to El
Centra 'Will be the greatest winter-garden and winter-resort the
world has ever seen. All it needs Is water.
We thought we had kissed
Mexicali but happened to strike "Chi Chis," here last night and
there it was. The rain was so heavy here yesterday the tennis
tournament had to be postponed for a week like Mexico they
apparently go in for sports ONLY
Speaking of Mexicali that last
army, particularly the air men, took over. One of the G-l's asked
the Mexican, piccolo player in the

Several Mexican couples were
started but only two or three kept
all the pretty Mexican girls, showing them how to cut a rug In
exchange for rumba lessons. It was all in good fun, yet we think
we detected an undercurrent of resentment among the Mexican
caballeros and can't blame them.
. But as we sat there observing the International scene, we fell
to wondering, how the Mexican war lasted as long as It did. Half
a dozen of those U. S. lads, full of

gentry or so It seemed to your correspondent. It was not their
physical superiority -entirely. It was their spirit their go-getting
attitude, their aggressiveness.

More advice to the prospective traveller.
The Mexican towns along the border are full of booby-traps,
every other store packed with Junk designed for the "Grlngoes"
who are still regarded as all millionaires and easy-marks. (And
as a whole they are the latter at least.) We have a nlnna fries th

gullible U. S. tourists. '
, And French perfumes! They buy "Chanel-S" and "Tabu" bot
tles, drill holes in the bottom and refill them with 30-cent cologne,
selling the same at $6 per ounce.
So unless you know values AND know what you want, better
confine your purchases to picture postcards, on the other side

Letter From Washington
.7 i ' By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Member oi Congress From Oregon
THE PRESIDENT REPORTS.
The report to congress on the
Yalta conference made by Pres
ident Roosevelt was .not sensa
tional, nor was it even very
new,. so. far .as the text ot the
speech Is concerned. Most of
what he said has previously been
published in one way or another.
sat there In utter amazement,
however, as I watched and heard
completely different man from
the President Roosevelt we have
seen and heard before on simi
lar occasions. , . . .
Instead of standing in the
usnal place on the dais 'In front
of the speakers chair, president
Roosevelt was wheeled Into the
well of the house, and-sat In
his wheelchair, speaking into
microphones arranged on a low
table. Instead of his usual lord
ly manner, he was humble. In
stead of speaking with his head
high,' tossing it frequently In a
somewhat arrogant gesture, he
frequently lowered his bead
while speaking, at the same
time dropping his voice so that
had some difficulty in hearing
all he said, even though I was
seated toward the middle of the
house. Instead of following his
manuscript strictly, be ad libbed
frequently, sometimes losing his
place in the manuscript, making
it necessary for him to pause
and review the written words
before continuing.
The last time I saw the presi
dent and heard him speak was
on Inauguration day. There was
tenseness about him then, and
be seemed to be Irritable. Seat
ed in the well ot the house to
make his report on Yalta, he
was relaxed and; Jovial.
Members' ot ' congress vary
sharply In their opinions as to
the nature of the change in the
president s attitude and speak
ing technique, and the reasons
for it. Some thought he was
tired; some thought he was put
ting on a splendid act; and some
were of the opinion that the
enormous responsibilities of the
conference in which he has just
participated had "mellowed1
him. So far as I am concerned,
the reasons for the change are
unimportant. What is important
is that his new attitude unques
tionably will have a definite
bearing on the course of events,
not only in our own country
but in the cause ot world peace.
In this constitutional govern
ment, the congress, and particu
larly the senate, must work
shoulder to shoulder with the
executive in the perfecting of
satisfactory international agree
ments. The president has now
come to congress In a friendly
and cooperative way, fully re
cognizing the joint responsibili
ty shared with him by the con
gress. It seems to me we have
every reason to believe that,
first, the president will continue
In this spirit, and secondly, that
the results of such' cooperation
will be good. . , .
GI BILL. It Is generally re
cognized that the veterans law,
commonly known as the "GI
Law," will have to be amended
and perfected as time goes on
It is seldom possible In writing
a complicated piece of leglsla
tlon to achieve perfection. The
GI -law is no exception.

LADIES' READY
31 No. Central
American Legion Department
Commander Penn C. Crum call
ed my attention to the fact that
the time limit provision under
which a veteran must file an
application for a loan Is so word
ed that some veterans will have
less time than others in which
to take advantage of this bene
ficial legislation. - -
I have lust introduced a bill
which. If passed, will remedy
this situation by giving all vet
erans ten years from the date of
their discharge from service in
which to file their application
for a loan.
Not only will the passage of
this bill remedy an injustice in
the act, but in my opinion, an
additional period of time will
permit veterans to make pur
chases of property in a more
stabilized market. I feel that
values may not be - stabilized
within as short a period as five
years. The loan provision Is not
gift to the veterans, nor are
the loans made by tha govern
ment. They are merely partially
guaranteed by the government.
and most, If not all of them.
will be repaid. Hence, it seems
to me entirely fair and reason
able that a veteran should nave
ample time after he is discharg
ed In which to get settled and
make his plans for the use of
this loan feature. Otherwise, he
might rush into a purchase of
property which he might later
regret,
FOREST RESEARCH. I am

In our national wealth can be

portion of our forest asset that
is not now being used. I refer
to slabs, sawdust, edgings, trim

are left In the woods. These
things are now being burned or
left to rot, and yet all of this
material, now considered waste
Is wood fibre from which can be
manufactured alcohol, plastics,

have already been made, but
there Is still much to be done.

One-ounce dish of KEILOGG'S All-Bran gives
over Vb of your daily minimum iron needs
Your intake of iron is too important to your
well-being and vitality to be left to chance.
For this important mineral is essential in making
good red blood to replace the blood your body
wears out -
The best place to get iron is in foods. But not
many foods are rich In available iron. In fact, It is
not easy to get an abundance of this important
mineral in the ordinary diet Thus, your iron intake
can get low without your knowing it
Fortunately, there h an everyday cereal thai
is a rich, inexpensive source of readily assimilable
iron. It's all-bran, made by the Kellogg folks of
Battle Creek. Ounce for ounce, this famous cereal
gives you 50 more iron than calves' liver.
In addition, this toasty nut-brown cereal is an
Important source of calcium, phosphorus and e
sential vitamins. That's because all-bran is made
from tha vital outer layers of finest wheat
KELLOGG'S All-Bran is made from the
VITAL OUTER LAYERS of finest wheat
Nature makes a habit of storing the larger share of
protective food elements in the skin of the potato
and the peel of the apple. Into the vital outer
layers of wheat too, Nature packs some of tho
grain's most important nutrients, all-bran is made
of these vital outer layers, and is more abundant
in many food elements than whole wheat itself.
America's Great Regulating Cereal
Besides being a storehouse of iron and other mv
portant food elements, delicious kellogg's all.
BRAN is a great natural regulating cereal Millions
of people eat it regularly. One ounce eaten daily
la usually adequate for satisfactory taxation. ALL
bran, which is triple-milled for golden softness,
does not interfere with normal digestion.
Be sure your family gets adequate amounts of
Iron and other important food elements. Serve
