Eleanor Glynn had a name for “‘it’”’, and it’s still a potent factor in our every-day lives. E. Durling, Los Angeles columnist, tells how it is turned to economic use now by the restaurants of Los Angeles. They hire gals there now who are stunning with “‘it’’, and reap a golden harvest as a result. And he adds that the girls, who earn about $30 a week (both wages and tips) have great rivalry for their jobs, with many on the waiting list. For once the south is a bit behind the times. Fd Bedell of the Clunie Hotel in Sacramento, long ago realized the pulling power of beautiful girls and helped make his coffee shop the big success that it is by that means. Only he refers to them as girl athletes—healthy outdoor girls, all pro: ficient at some type of outdoor sport. How long will it be before other industries follow the lead of the restaurants? A Long Island filling station is said to have increased its sales 20 per cent by hiring beautious young women attendants.—Oroville Mercury. « They Turned To Washington & Like men in a tiny ship, they were, those founding fathers who dared to cast off the lines that bound them to Engd and set out in treacherous seas on a course never sailed before—the course of democracy. "Fhe ship was well-manned, with Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, bee and all the rest. But for captain they needed that! mamamong them who had most of strength and courage and devotion to their cause. Who would it be? Almost instinctively, they->knew. _ ; And they turned to George Washington. Probably Washington never dreamed that a nation second to none in the history of the world would grow out of that ~early voyage, and would pause on a day 205 years after his birth, to honor him as we are doing now. But it was Washington, with his steadfast vision of a people free and united; who brought our country through that . perilous period of infancy when it was fragile and might easliy have broken to bits. His courage in the face of physical danger first, it was, which saw us through the Revolutionary War. Had he once quavered, America might have been doomed to become another Ireland, with a long, bloody struggle for independence lasting perhaps into the twentieth century. His mental courage later held the states together in the confused days following the war. Had he given an inch then, there would be no great nation here today, but a conglomeration of petty principalities. ° _ From the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 until his death in 1799, Washington was the leader, the captain of democracy, the one staunch pillar supporting the genesis of America.—Contributed. ‘— 3 . Silence In The Courtroom While the tempest over the Supreme Court rages and the nation girds itself for a fight to a finish in this historic verbal civil war, a matter involving somewhat similar issues faces us right here in California. Public confidence in our courts, public faith in their capacity to deal out justice, public respect for democratic processes of law and order—these are today being needlessly disturbed in our state. They are being jarred by talk of “‘frameup’ in the so-called Modesto dynamiting case. Last week a special committee of our legislature began its inquiry into the case of the eight who were sentenced a year ago for their part in a plot to blow up a hotel where some sailers were staying during an oil tanker strike. This committee will learn that the Superior Court of Stanislaus county, the Stafe Appellate Court, the State Supreme Court, and the U. S. Supreme Court have all affirmed the guilt of these men. It will learn that the Stanislaus county grand jury just this month reviewed the frameup story and found it without basis in fact. All these courts Have spoken. Let there now be silence in the courtroom. In the nationwide Supreme Court controversy, many people feel that the future of democracy is at stake. . What must those Californians feel who have heard not the facts, but just this talk about a California court frameup, and who give _it credence? Doubts about the courts, doubts about personal liberty, doubts about the very underpinnings of democracy. Let the dissenters think.of the harm they are doing. Let them review the facts and cease their clamor. We face enough real threats to democracy these days without having false ones _ raised to haunt us.—Contributed. 1 The studio that © satisfies.

STATE DONATES $1.221418 FOR FLOOD RELIEF SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 18.—With more than a half million refugees still moving homeward following the disastrous floods in the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys, the National Red Cross estimates some 250,000 affected families will require help in rehabiltation, Admiral Carey T. Grayson, national Red Cross chairman, advises Pacific Area chapters. To expedite the family rehabilitation, ten regional offices have been established by the Red Cross. They are situated. in West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Tlinois and Arkansas. Housing facilities now constitute a major problem for the disaster reIt has been necessary to establish some tent and boxcar colonies and to provide temporary housing. A number of schools which were first used as emergency shelters have since been evacuated to permit the resumption of classes. Revised figures show 1,205,256 persons were affected in the flood zones. Of-this number 748,229 were under Red Cross care. The Red Cross had in operation 946 concentration camps and_ shelters. It had 300 field hospitals and immunization centers in which more than 1,500 Red Cross nurses were on duty. Persons sick in these emergency hospitals numbered 4,288. A broad program of education and recreation for men, women and the children in all refugee centers is being conducted. Junior Red Cross workers are directing special projects, Games, books and toys have been made available to hospitalized youngsters as well as those able to be in camps.Athletic events, picture shows and theatrical performances provide entertainment for the adults. In response to Chairman Grayson’s appeal, the national relief fund is in excess of $20,000,000. Of this total the Pacific Area contributed lief workers. '1935 value-of $129,111,815.

The 19936 production was worth! $151,524,555, which was $22,412,-. 740 or 17 per cent greater than the . The . price of gold in both years was $35 . per fine ounce. The increase in production for 1936 over 1933 was 651 per cent in quantity and 126 per cent in value, and for. 1936 over 1932 the increase was 68 per cent in quantity and 185 per cent in value.

FOUR YEAR REGIONAL COLLEGES ARE OPPOSED Members of the California state Legislature this week are reviewing the report of the State Council on Educational Planning ‘and «© Co-ordinatidn, a new printing of whicn has been completed. The law-makthus are considering officially the findings of an important advisory body appointed under authority voted by the legislature itself. The purpose of the plan outlined in the .report, developed with the unanimous approval of the Planning Coungil in 1935, is to preServe the most effective and most economical relationship between the State University, the junior colleges, and the teachers colleges. The report strongly opposes expansion of teachers colleges into four-year regidnal colléges. It does not give approval of junior colleges assuming that status. The members of the: Planning Council are Will C. Wood, chairman; Charles Albert Adams, Allen T. Archer, Annie Florence Brown, Mrs. William J. Hayes, Vierling Kersey, Gurney E. Newlin, Chester H. Rowell and Robert. Gordon Sproul. Opponents Of the creation of a chain of four year ‘colleges in California are urging thorough consideration of the planning council report because bills now, before the state legislature propose establishment of new tax-supported fouryear colleges or universities in several parts of the state, added to the present facilities _in-—higher education. This would involve needless duplication, it is charged, and would saddle the state with excessive expemse. The Statewide Committee on Higher Education, of which John L. McNab is chairman and Aubrey Drury is secretary, is among the organizations, active against the creation of a chain of four-year regional colleges, urging that voters communicate with their state legislators requesting them to oppose such proposals and to uphold the report of the planning council. ers Correct Glasses — W.
