CIRCUS DELIGHTED
THE YOUNG FOLK

The circus is here, and how lucky
it is that it comes on a Saturday.
The small boy is out in all his
glory and the radiance of his smile
is like the MONDAY sun in August.
There is not a secret of the show
business that Al G.. Barnes and his
joy aggregation have been able to
hide from the prying eyes and mis-
chievous fingers of the little folks.
From holding converse with the box
of monkeys and watching the toilet
making of the camels and elephants
down to the pulling of the ropes that
hoist the great tent, the boys know
it all, and tomorrow they will begin
holding their own circuses.
The parade today was what it was
expected to be by all the many who
know the merits of this particular
show. and there was a good crowd
in town, assembled from all sections
Of Imperial Valley.

The initial game of The ball season
in Imperial Valley will be played by
El Centre and Brawley teams at
Brawley tomorrow afternoon. Ell Cen

for it is made up of some OF the
ablest players in America and they
are clean lot of young fellows, which
can probably be said of all the val

They will all enter into the league
series of games with good spirit, and
the people can expect to have great
sport.
1t is hoped a large delegation of
Ell Centro fans will attend the initial
game tomorrow.
Bill Cornett's band of beauties are
all primed and ready for the big
battle at Brawley tomorrow.
They worked out yesterday and to-
day, and if they put as much vim and
snap into Sundays game there is
nothing to it-we'll cinch the Sunday
game sure.
Cornett has picked Schneider to do
the heaving for Ell Centre and Reese
will pitch for Brawley.
Following is the way they will line
up, in regular batting order:

NO HOPE OF OIL STRIKE"
Mohave Desert, California, Affords no
Prospect.

From time to time since 1900 the re-
gion between Mohave desert. California
has attracted attention as a possible oil
field and q report that valuable light
gravity oil occurs there has been widely
circulated. Great stretches of land in
the northern part Of the desert have been
located as oil claims, a considerable
number of derrieks have been erected,
and wells have been drilled at four rath-
er widely separated localities. Indica-
tions of oil have been reported in at
least two of these wells. In the early
part of December, 1912, r. W. Pack, a
geologist of the United States geologi
cal survey, made reconnaissance of the
eastern part of this region in order to
obtain a general understanding of its
broader geologic features and to deter
mine if possible whether oil might reas-
onably be expected to occur there in sui
ficient amounts to be commercially val
liable. A number of wells were ex
amined, ranging from about 1000 to g.
coo feet in depth, but while a little oil
has been reported from some of the wells
and showings in others, in none has oil
been struck in commercial quantities.
Further Drilling a Waste of Money.
The main conclusion arrived at as re-
suit of Mr.. Packs examination has been
entirely adverse to the idea that oil oc-
ours in this region. Traces of oil and
gas are present in different parts of the
world in fine grained sedimentary beds.
and it is possible that similar traces OF
oil may exist in the fine-grained detritab
beds of this region, but it is believed
TO be highly improbable that oil
and gas occur here in greater amounts,
and Mr. Packs opinion is that the north
ern part of the Mohave desert between
Barstow and Mohave offers practically
no promise of becoming a productive oil
field and that further drilling will prove
but waste of money.
Even if oil was originally distributed
in minute quantities through the rock,
the structure is not such that it would
have tended to collect or trap the oil.
Irregular and faulted folds occur in at
least three places northwest of Barstow,
and it is generally reported that a we'll
marked anticline passes through the
hills north OF Barstow. Indeed, it is
believed by some that such fold extends
along the north side of the desert from
Tehachacpi pass nearly to Barstow This
idea is erroneous. for the only folds here
are small discontinuous, and much
faulted. Faults, not folds, dominate
the structure Thus the structure is
much more favorable for the escape of
any oil that might possibly have been
accumulated here than for its concentra-
tion in appreciate quantities.

Some Curious Statistics.

Did YOU ever realize how many more
girls lose their lives from accidental
burning than boys, and the reasons for
the contrast? Somebody has just COM
piled the statistics of England's expe-
rience.
In the first year of life no difference
appears. Between the ages of one and
four, girl victims slightly preponderate.
Thereafter the discrepancy rapidly in
creases. In the five-year period under
review, 775 of the victims between four
and five, were girls, and only 36S were
boys. In the next five years of child
hood, 1927 girls and $50 boys lost their
lives in this way.
The inference is simple. Girls cloth
ing is largely responsible. In the first
year, when both sexes are clothed alike,
no difference appears. In the next
three years this is nearly as true. But
as soon as the differentiation in dress be-
comes marked, as at five years of age,
the preponderance of the fatalities
among girls becomes startling.
This difference, of course, holds
throughout the rest of life. By far the
most frequent victims are the maid who
attempts to light the fire by pouring
kerosene into the stove, and the elderly
woman whose clothes catch from lamp
or candle. Little can be done to pre-
vent these mishaps among the elders, ex-
cept by disseminating more widely the
commonsense of the situation.
With the children it is otherwise. The
fault is not theirs. As long as parents
leave matches where young children can
reach them, calamities will occur. The
hot kitchen stove is another menace.
And here sanity in children's dress
would go a long way toward lessening
the tragic roll.
Flimsy dress-goods should be ia
booed-except, perhaps, for parties. Too
early a differentiation in the attire of
the sexes is unwise, for hygienic, moral
OF other reasons. Rompers and sweat
ers are Just as good for the girl as for
boy. When she begins to assert her
desire to dress as her elders do, it is
time enough for the change-Boston
