SWEM'S 3 GIFTS Editorial Correspondence Palm Springs, March 19: This village is striking demonstra tion of what a little paint can do. We mean HOUSE paint. But for paint put on buildings with taste, Palm Springs would be a pretty sad-looking place. With paint it is, all in all, attrao titve and in places, gay. Wa don't know where the paint has come from any more than the gas but here it Is canary and cerulean blue, light maroon and -cream, terra-cotta and burned-orange every color of the rainbow all over the place and with the sun shining, Palm Springs is a sort of municipal Joseph in his coat-of-many-colors. Not bad at all in fact good. At the El Paseo drug store for lunch the drug stores here put Bermuda onions and hamburger first and your doctor's pre scriptions a bad third. Met a colored para-trooper here for re cuperation at the El Mlrado hospital. He was as black as India ink, his teeth as white as milk, and he was looking for a place to get bis shoes mended his feet were hurting him. We did not know there were any colored para-troopers, but this black boy had his trousers strapped over his shoetops and looked like one. He had been Invalided from Italy (he declared) and his feet ure hurt him. We could not direct him to any cobbler but the I exican boy dishwasher at the "El Pas,eo" came to the rescue waiting for his home-bound bus and told Sambo the - only one was next to the Zanzibar club. The colored para-trooper phoned for "yellow cab" they have yellow cab phones strung all over the "Main Stem" here and then proceeded to tell us he was "shore glad" to get out of Italy. We asked him If he knew "General", alias Colonel Glenn Jackson, he said he had never met the gentleman but HAD heard of hlml (We venture to say all the G.I.s In Italy have.) e a e e e The taxi finally came 39 minutes after the call which in Palm Springs Is prompt, and our colored friend went on to con suit the only cobbler in Palm Springs. But before going our para-trooper elaborated somewhat on his allergy for Italy namely and to-wit: The going Is tough, no one seems to know why or Just what it is all about none understand why the Germans, hard-pressed at home, don't quit and reinforce their troops on the Rhine and the eastern front, with the troops they have In Italy. But they don't. They keep on fighting for every inch of ground, and it adds up to a lot of "foollshmentl" e e We told "Sambo" we had an Idea the Germans were holding the line in Italy for the sake of the Milan munition works, as their Krupp area was now seriously threatened, If not pretty much destroyed, and their final stand according to General X would be In Munich anyway. "Sambo" said that might be the answer but he was glad he was back In the U. S. A. anyway and out of it. "Ah nevab been in Palm Springs befoh," he concluded, "ex cepts when 1 drives my cah through heah befoh the wah but it surely am an ambiguous place!" t " Took the golf-pitcher to the well once too often today and the Medford trio was rained out. Looked like rain but then the skies had looked that way in the mornings for a week they call II a high fog then cleared up, so we went out as usual. This time our fourth member was a Mr. Maggert of Ross, Calif., who has a place here and has often with Mrs. Maggert and daughter, visited In Medford with the George Roberts. Everyone got soaked, and with no taxis available, there was a long hike from the club house, home in the downpour. But they need rain In Southern California. Contrary to report In Medford the rainfall average is far below normal for the year to date from 4 to 13 Inches short. (This Is for Los Aneeles of course; In Palm Springs the average is only two or three inches umiuuit nvvuiuiua iu w. vi v report.; - . ? An insurance man from Portland who plays golf here has ona of the cutest dogs your correspondent has ever seen a miniature French poodle, about one-fifth the size of the regulai type. And It is the only golf-trained dog we have ever seen she (its a lady dog) keeps off all tees and greens, and follows her master at a discreet distance to one side and in the rear. She never barks or cavorts about and even if another dog appears she keeps on her schedule and at her distance. aa.eea The cute canine was Just behind our foursome today which Is perhaps one reason why ye editor couldn't hit his hat According to Mr. M. there are also couple of dachshunds here that are golf-tralned. And added to the accomplishments noted regarding Miss Poodle, one of them, will keep track of the ball and when so Instructed will take it out of the cup and bring It to the owner. He will also nose it out In the thick rough. (This Is a hint for A. R.I) Last night, walking down the "Avenue of Palms" we were hailed by Mr. and Mrs. Gene Childera of Medford, who had just arrived and were giving P. S. the once-over. They are on vaca tion, G. C. having sold out his Walter Leverette. Naturally we asked for the latest news from the old home town. Gene could give no details not Included In the Mall Tribune to date, but he did add a personal note which is simply too good to keep. Said G. C: "I liked the deal all right except for one fact had to pay that man Thorndike 29 bucksUYES sir! Three weeks ago he offered to bet me I'd sell out within a month. It looked like the easiest money I ever had offered me, because I had no more Idea of selling out than of going to the North Pole. So 1 said its a deall' Three days later Walt gave me a proposition I Just couldn't turn down and there I was, STUCK AGAIN. What a pall But I'll get back at Gene somehow, If It takes my last cent."

These women aren't sissies, either! . No sissy business is the fob of riding scientific herd on an oil rig that's drilling under a desert sun. That's the Job of a pe troleum engineer. Yet, one of our petroleum engineers is woman. No sissy business is the job of teaching tricks to those elephant-big mechanical gadgets in an oil refinery. That's the job of a mechanical engineer. Among our mechanical engineers is a woman. Well come to think of It, women never were sissies, any how. Look at the Revolution's . Molly Pitcher. Look at the Civil War's Clara Barton. Look at World War Ts Edith CavelL Look at the thousands of wom en who, in this war, are doing men's jobs. But look as you may, you'll find few doing more important work than the woman engi neers, chemists, architects, and technical experts now holding down key posts in our organiz ation. With their special know how and training, they're help ing keep the oil flowing to tha armed forces and to you. This may not surprise you at much as it does us. That's be- cause you get small chance to look beyond the service station and see how largely the oil bus iness consists of overalls and effort Oil gets under your nails. Sweat gets in your eyes, Yet, at many pivotal points, that un-sissy process whereby a barrel of "crude" under the round in California gets to the hilippines as 100 -octane gaso line Is kept going by women. They're making careers In an . Industry almost as masculine as the Army, They're doing a "must" job. We thought you would.like to know about them.
