state to take long trips and spend their
money in some other locality-without
first having visited all the beauty
spots of their own section. This is
largely accounted for by Automobile
club officials by the fact that many
of the large foreign" resorts spend
a great deal of money in attractive
advertising.

INSTALLING BIG PRESS

r. J. Worthington, of the firm of
Observation-Disclosures Co., has been
busy for the past few days installing
one Of the largest and most up to
date hydraulic presses ever shipped
to this part of the state. This press
which is of two hundred tons capacity
is operated by a powerful hydraulic
pump which generate sa pressure of
five thousand pounds to the square
inch, this pressure is delivered to a
twelve inch ram enclosed in cylinder
weighing one and one quarter tons.
The addition OF this press to the
tire service department of this prog
ressive and wide awake firm gives to
El Centro one of the most completely
equipped tire service departments on
the Pacific coast. This press is used
for the purpose OF applying solid tires
to the wheels of heavy trucks and
also for such other heavy press work
as the machine shops Of the valley are
called upon to take care of from time
to time. When one considers that the
largest locomotive wheels have their
rims applied under pressure Of only
from ten to twelve tons a realization

The proprietors state that there is
enough truck tire business in Imperial
valley at present to warrant the large
investment made in this piece OF ma.
chinery and that they intend to pre-
vent any more money being sent out
side Imperial valley for this class Of
work. This statement is logical when
the public realizes that truck tire serv-
ice will be rendered hero in the valley

URGES COURSE TO CURE
PUPILS OF STAMMERING
Ethelbert Stewart Makes Suggestion
in Letter to President of
Board.

Establishment of a system of training
in the public schools to help the 2.4O0
persons in Washington, afflicted with
stammering is urged by Etheibert
Stewart, chief Statistician of the bureau
of labor statistics. in communication
to DIR. John Van Schaick, president of
the board of education.
Mr.. Stewart estimates that at least so
per cent of the persons so afflicted In
Washington are of school age or under.
This means that the school board of
which you are president" Mr.. Stewart
wrote to DIR. Van Schaick, has 1t with
in it's power to bring the boon of cure
to more than 1900 human beings suf-
fering from the most intense mental
cheney that number of persons who
must otherwise struggle. through life
under handicap. the burden of which
no man not himself a stammerer can
for one minute estimate or appreciate
Mr. Stewart was largely instrumental
in getting the board of education of
Chicago to introduce a special course
for stammerers in 1910. In Chicago. at
present there are eleven special teach
This number is to be increased to four
teen when the schools of Chicago open
in September.
According to the best available statis-
tics, Mr. Stewart points out, a ratio of
8 per 900 for stammering among adult
males has been established. and since
the atf1iction is more prevalent among
children than adults the ratio for an
entire population would be higher.
The maximum of stammering comes
in the fourth grade. Stammering is
more prevalent among poor than among
rich, Mr.. Stewart declares, and among
colored people than among whites.

Young Things

In spring most things are fresh
and new-except old guns like
me and you. New leaves are on
the ancient trees, new stingers on
the bumblebees; new birds with
anthems greet the dawn, new
dandelions star the lawn; all
things seem new, there's nothing
gray except the eggs / bought
today. The newborn duckling
boldly swims; the calf steps
round on wabbly limbs; we see
the lambkins at their play, the
coltkin lifts a feeble neigh; the
young of all the species bring
their atmosphere of youth to
spring, and anything that's old
and hoar, that savors of the days
of yore, seems out of place, of
little worth, and ought to vanish
from the earth. But 1 see moth
ing that is old, except that story
YOU just told. The world itself
looks bright and new, that in
the winter panied the view. Its
dismal hues of gray and dun have
changed to green beneath the
sun; it is as cheerful, bright and
gay as though 'twere fashioned
yesterday. Old things are hidden
and the young their banners
everywhere have flung. There's
nothing ancient, bearded, hoar,
except the butter at the store.
