Daingcrfield, the weather man, will kindly move over and make room for this department, which hereafter will be known as "Old Man Infallible's Rain Chart and Almanac." The following paragraph was printed here Monday morning from Hidden Ranch down in San Diego county: PREDICTION MADK "Hidden Ranch, Oct.

11. Vou'd better get your umbrellas ready. "Both Billy Magce and Johnnie the ranch's right-hand man, say that it is going to rain within a week.

Billie and Johnnie, the mantle of Gin Chow is yours. EATING CROW It takes a real man to admit publicly that he was wrong.

But Walter' Mendenhall, editor of the Van Nuys News has the courage not only to eat crow but to garnish it with some of the applesauce that he put out a few weeks ago. It all concerns "streamlin-: ing." HE WAS A SCOFFER Walter thought he was an old typographical die-hard and he took an awful wallop at The Times for going "streamline" and modernistic. Then he went on a trip back to the Middle West and the old-fashioned papers with tiny type and feeble headlines all jammed up together got his goat. WHAT A RELIEF On his way back to California he said the first sight of a good old Times in its streamlined simplicity and clarity was just like a cool breeze off the Pacific. And he's so converted now that his own paper actually is getting more streamlined every week.

Have some more crow, Walter THE WIND-UP Into the final two days of Its successful run goes the San Diego County Fair today. It has surpassed all expectations and is an assured feature in Southern California from now on. Congratulations have been extended to almost everybody. But there's one group that feels a little aggrieved. This is the W.P.A., which put $411,612 on the line for the fair.

CREDIT GIVEN Leo Meehan, field agent for the W.P.A. says we haven't told of this contribution. We have several times, but maybe not in the main story of the fair's opening. Anyway, it might be said that all the fair officials including President and General Manager Franks were unstinted in their praise of the W.P.A. crews who even worked overtime without pay to get things as nearly ready as possible.

BPLEXD11) CHANGE This is refreshing in a land where so many W.P.A. crews have practically worn out brand new shovels by leaning on them too long and hard. Of course the fair is indebted to W.P.A. But the courage of the project's sponsors and the splendid fruits and flowers and live stock of San Diego county have been the things that really "put over" the exposition after the money was provided for its building program.
