Further more, the situation Is so bad Italian and German prisoners of war, (most of whom took their shots at Americans in battle), will no longer be served ham, bacon, pork, lamb, and chicken, all hard to get Items on the home front. Instead they will get salt fish, spaghetti, macar oni, beans and picnic meats, all better than they are accustomed to starving upon at home, either in peace or war. Such generos ity is noble, but It needs a gen erous mixing with common sense, of which It oft appears there is also a shortage.

Mrs. Cooke was then Mrs. Sarah Palfrey of Boston, and her present husband was a vnunaster lust out of college promising but far from national doubles champion as he did become a few years later or was it the world title at Wimbleton7 uuess it was me inner. At any rate it was a real "love" set for them Mrs. paurey got a divorce, and here they are wintering at Palm springs ana looking Just' as young, and playing better tennis. Mrs. Cooke In fact is one of the most attractive women ever to wield a tennis racquet. But she was beaten by Miss Betz yesterday Just as she was beaten at Forest Hills by Miss Marble in both cases her two opponents were too tall and tough.. Wore the pretty little gal down. Even more Interesting than the tennis to the undersigned at least was the audience composed almost entirely of army and navy convalescents, from the Torney Hospital nearby. (As before stated what was formerly El Mirador hotel is now Torney Hospital, one of the largest navy and marine convalescent hos pitals on the coast.) They were all youngsters with all sorts of splints on their arms, casts on their legs and feet and bandages on their heads. Several had their arms In splints supported by little wire platforms hooked on their sides no doubt there Is a proper surgical term for such an appliance, but we don't know it. And dozens on crutches. But now iney aia enjoy me tennis and did they look fit? banged up but wonderful color and clean as so many whistles, i We noticed the boy next to us especially his hands and their spotless manicure. Some had their wives with them, others nurses, others alone. No doubt about it no country in the world takes care of its sick and wounded as does the U. S. A.I And the regulation bathrobes are very becoming, boys very! e a e e e Yes this is a great date country and the date ranchers like almost all other ranchers in the country now are making money big money. One day a member of our golf foursome had come down here to look over his date-ranch he lives in L. A. He admitted busi ness was good, but deplored the fact he had not purchased a larger ranch while he was at it. (A friend of his has a 100-acre ranch near Indio that is very large for a date ranch and took 1,700,000 pounds of dates off the place a year ago. the same selling at Indio at 30 cents per pound. (Unless our arithmetic is as bad as Harry Holmes' that adds up to over half a million dol- larsl) There were years, however, when the Indio date ranchers went continually into the red and had terrible trouble with var ious and sundry diseases and insect pests. Bill Aldrich formerly at the government experiment station near Medford (now in Washington, D. C.) came down here to solve some of the nroblems and according to our information did solve them most of them at least. e e e e e The date ranch Is in appearance the most majestic and lnrnos- lng of all ranches, particularly In the moonlight. The soil is kept as clean as a parlor comet, and the seneral effect is of a huge Moorish temple of some sort: the palm trunks are the pillars; tne green ran-UKe leaves forming a flat curved arch hieh above the ground there Is almost a religious cathedral atmostihere about it. One doubts no longer where the Moorish arch and architecture came from! ' Both John and Harry phoned Medford Saturday on business matters and learned the weather man was not doing so well up there as far as "dry-heat" goes. If the weather man there, how ever, can transform things In week as the weather man down here did, It won't be long before Spring in the valley is in full swing. e Meanwhile we will spare the "golfing quintuplets" uo there any more remarks anent the dry desert climate here or when we return we will be more unpopular than when we left which would break record of some sortl We forffot to state rernrriinrf rlnroe tVi nnim r0 t,i,i 4wn the harvest or picking season is Just ending now.

Then too, the date-clusters have to be covered up with paper bags to prevent injury by insects and what-have-you and from November until March, only the ripe dates from these clusters are picked and shipped. The pickers nave to go over an orchard, we mean, time and time again for 120 days which, need we add, costs money? So In spite of the half million dollar net return from that 100-acre dates-ranch the overhead was nothing to sneeze at and might even have kept the owner out of the excess profit-tax schedule though we doubt It (There is alwayi a fly or two however. In any ointment financial ointment at least.) 4 e e e e Well, perhaps we better withhold final Judgment regarding the Bob Hopes.

News Behind The News By Paul Mallon Washington, March 15 Mr, Morgenthau has done a superior job of propagandizing congress on the new world bank and money fund plan. Some lobby ists, objective in this matter, appraise it as the best ever, They say he got the adver tising geniuses of the country who aided him in the victory bond drives, to counsel him on the side. Thus his Bretton Woods fi nancial agreements have vir tually become patriotically blessed, ai.d politically sacro sanct. An' one who is against them Is against peace. Anyone who wants to amend them is probably a fascist or at least a banker. These are the- pdnaceas for which all decent, peace-loving people htve been yearning and praying day and night since the beginning of the world, in short they are purely of such elements as "the pause that refreshes"; "they satisfy" and they are made of the finest to bacco ah pardon the finest economic ingredients. e e e AS a result, the house Is not likely to amend the plan seriously. Or Indeed, even look upon it with too frank an eye. But the senate is waiting with some amendments. You may recall that interest ed senators asked to be invited to the Bretton Woods confer ence as observers, but were kept out. They have not forgotten. Also the bankers are ready ing some amendments and pre paring some counter-propaganda which may measure up to the Morgenthau plane. It is likely to be quite a fight before it is over and consider able amending may finally re sult. The public can hardly be ex pected to follow or understand the matter although it will have more effect upon the people's future (depressions, trade, the real value of wages) than the po- mirnl nonce tm nosed noon Ger many and Japan, which occupies such great popular attention. Any serious objective analysis of the plan must show it to be a program to continue the existing world artificially in financial values. IT Is a working- arrangement to collective internationally the various financial artifices devised by nations in the past two decades in order to stave off or avoid their creditors and the formerly inevitable results of arithmetic. It does not propose, or even think of restoring, sound values to money or international cred it, but to make artificiality work a little longer. It might do this five years, ten, it might do this well or badly. These are matters upper most in the debate. It proposes to raise nearly 18 billion (yes billion) dollars now, nearly nine billion to be loaned to nations or people at practically no interest for their own purposes, and the other nine billions to keep the paper currencies of nations from fall ing down to what they might otherwise, be worth. - We contribute more money and gold than anyone, and what we are supposed to get out of It is acceptance of the dollar and gold as being the standard (best) money which others con acquire largely by turning in their papei bonds (together with a little gold originally) into the fund. e "pHE dollar already -occupies first position In my opinion, but I think the real reason why our treasury wants to enter into such a likely-losing prooosition is that It feared the world would turn against gold (the backing of currency) after the war and In jure our world position . Its enthusiasm for its scheme Is based, I believe on its belief that it has thus bought recogni tion of the dollar. But the critics see this purchase as apt to be costly at the expense of lost loans from the bank, and the accumu lation of doubtful foreign paper money in the stabilization fund. The British want this strenu ously. They must have it to re store their world trade. We are in a position to make separate arrangements with each coun try, but their pound is in worse shape than our dollar, and they would be at a disadvantage in bilateral arrangements. e a e DOT you never hear from Rus- sla no criticism, no' enthu siasm, no comment. I wonder why this Is, in view of Russia's apparent chances to become greater world trading power even than Britain out of this war. Could it be because the Rus sians can mine their gold at the cost of labor, perhaps $8 an ounce, and buy into this capital istic venture which maintains gold at $36 an ounce, and thus get a reduction ot 50 per cent on world prices through the fund? In our preoccupation mm British and American interests. arA lira nnu nat-mittins Russia to buy into capitalism at fire sale prices, the sale to run perpeiuai ly and for her exclusively? I do not know. I am asking. P.-T. A. Activities SHADY COVE P.-T.A. Regular March meeting of Shady Cove P.-T.A. will be held March 16 at 8 p. m. at the schoolhouse.
