Shipments of American meats
and other foodstuffs to Europe
have reached such stupendous
proportions and inefficiency, of
ficial steps have been taken to
yank the Santa Claus whiskers
off Washington bureaucrats. A
news dispatch reveals so much
alt pork has been shipped to
Russia, none Is to be had In the
"Solid South," where It is used
to season turnip tops and othei
spring greens, and eventually
become "pot llkker." 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.

We last saw the Elwood Cookes play tennis at Forest Hills,
Long Island, some lx or seven years ago. 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!

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

and the Insects in general can't be depended upon if they are.
the resulting dates cant be sold thgy are what correspond to
culls in our valley pear orchards.
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.)

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.

You can't feel your best without enough iron
THIS GRAND CEREAL HELPS Ii
e
BLOOD'S IRON LEVEL UP TO
One-ounce dish of KELLOGG'S All-Bran gives
over Vt of your daily minimum iron needs
MOST everyone knows you can't make good red
blood without iron. But do you know that
your body constantly needs good new red blood to
replace the blood it wears out? That's why you've
(ot to get iron constantly.
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 iron in the or
dinary diet
Fortunately, there it an everyday cereal that is
a rich, inexpensive source of readily assimilable
iron. It's KSXLOOd's all-bran. Ounce for ounce,
this grand cereal gives you 50 more iron than
calves' liver. In addition, this toasty, nut-brown
cereal is an Important source of calcium, phos
phorus and essential vitamins. That's because
all-bran is made from the 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 akin of the
potato and the pee of the apple. Into the vital
outer layers of wheat, too. Nature packs some of
the grain's most important nutrients, all-bran is
made of these vital outer layers, and is more abun
dant in many food elements than whole wheat itself.
America's Great Regulating Cereal
Besides being a storehouse of iron and other im
portant food elements, delicious kellogg's all
HtAN is a great natural regulating cereal. Millions
of people eat it regularly. One ounce eaten daily
is usually adequate for satisfactory taxation, all
BRAN, which is triple-milled for golden softness,
does not interfere with normal digestion.
Serve KKLLOQO's ALL-BRAN regularly. Help your
family get adequate amounts of iron and other
Important food elements.
