SAFETY TURNOUTS FOR ROADS
 NEW GRADE-CROESING PLAN

When the path of speeding auto mobile is suddenly crossed by a rail road train, the driver generally turns the car to the right into the ditch, the fence, or whatever happens to border the highway at that point. Statistics show more casualties re- sulting from this natural action than from collision with the train itself. The proposal of southern road com missioner calls for strip of smooth roadway running alongside the rail- road at each grade crossing for 100 yd, or more. It would join the right side of the highway in a broad curve banked to prevent overturning.

TELEPHONE-MEGAPHONE IN SURHS FAIRNESS IN REF
 FREEING TRAPSHOOTING

Trapshooters have added an electri- cal device to their layout, for the use of the referee. It is essentially the telephone-megaphone arrangement used for announcing trains at large railroad stations. For trapshooting it is installed with the telephone re- ceiver in the trap house, beside the trap from which the targets are thrown, and the megaphones, for there are two are located back of the firing line, one at each side of the shooters platform.
 Until now the referee has stood back of the shooters; his job is to call the birds "dead" or "lost." There have always been serious objections to this method, for two cheif reasons. First, the referee could see the birds no better than the shooters, and con- scquently his decisions were often questioned, and disagreements were not uncommon, many important matches hinging on the calling of doubtful "kill." Corollary to this first reason was the second, that the referee always knew who was shoot ing, which opened the way to favor tism, or, equally bad, charges of it.
 By placing the referee nearer the birds-more than 16 yards nearer he is naturally in a much better posi- tion to see what damage the shot ac- tually does to each flying disk, and he is obliged to be absolutely impar- tial, since he cannot see the persons shooting.

PARTY HERE FOR

The Congressional party, represent
ing the House and Senate Naval At
fairs committees, will be in the I'm
perial Valley two instead of just one
day, according to arrangements just
completed between the Ell Centre and
San Diego Chambers of Commerce.
The party, comprising personnel
of about forty members, will arrive
here Sunday afternoon about o'clock
and will start on the return trip to
the Coast on Tuesday afternoon.
This gratifying piece of news,
which means that the entire Valley
can be shown the party, instead of
just the inlying sections, due to the
original time restriction, will not
cause much of Encouragement in
the program.
The chief development brought
about will be an all-day popular ex-
cursion by special train over the
Southern Pacific to Calexico, Hanlon's
Heading and the Volcano Lake levee.
This excursion will be open to the
public and everyone is invited to take
part in the educational trip.
On Tuesday the party will be TAX

SIDES
Win RULING
IN HEARING
FOR LIBEL
B. F. Morris, Police Rec
corder of Brawley, Is Or
dered to Answer Name
Questions.

Another clash between the Braw-
ley factions created by the tarring
and feathering of j. Edgar Ross, pol
itician and apiarist, during the last
Liberty Loan campaign, in Superior
court here this morning resulted in
a legal victory for both sides.
Ross, represented by Attorney Will
son of Los Angeles, won his fight
for an amendment to complaint for
libel against the Brawley News, NJ.
D. Witter, publisher, and B. F. Nor
ris, editor, over the protests of At
orney M. w. Conkling for the de-
PENDANTS.
This amendment permits the plain
..fl % insert into the complaint the
dozen '-'"'rre names or aliases al
legged to nave Leer used by Morris,
Brawley newspaper .'an and poll
tician, in his business care IN vari-
Gus western states.
The court also ruled that Morris
should be compelled to answer the
questions put to him by the plaintiff
to secure information concerning his
real identity and, in the event of his
continued refusal, to cite him into
court for punishment for contempt.
The defense victory came from a
court order sustaining their demur-
rer to the third cause of action in
the complaint for libel against the
News. This clause covered an article
carried in the newspaper a few days
following the attack on Ross.
The court held that the article in
question was not libelous, finding that
1t was not malicious or an unfair
representation of the facts dealt with
on the showing made in court.
In declining the defense motion to
strike out the amendment to the COM
plant, and for quashing of the ci-
tation proceedings, Judge Cole said:
THE defendant is required to an
swer majority of the questions in
this (referring to the transcript of
the attempted deposition proceedings)
referring to the names he has used in
the past, or shall be cited to this court
to be punished for contempt"
In making his ruling the Judge stat
ed the plaintiff was entitled to know
the true name of the defendant or
the names he had gone under, to
protect the plaintiffs rights of re-
covery in the event of favorable
judgment.

HEAVY WIND
BRINGS
SLIGHT LOSS
I D \ A | | EY.

Aside from few trees blown down
at scattered points, the| only,>places
in the Valley to suffer from yester-
days severe wind and sand storm,
rated as the heaviest "blow' in years,
were Seeley and Camp Beacon. The
total damage is estimated at around
$1,000.
At Seeley the cotton warehouse of
the Globe Oil Mills, sizable struc-
ture, was blown to pieces and the
lumber scattered over a wide area.
The building collapsed under the con-
stant and heavy wind pressure, the
lumber then being lifted piece by
piece and hurtled through the air.
Camp Beacon, the headquarters
camp of the troop that patrols the
border, reported lot of inconveni-
ence, but only slight damage, the loss
amounting to the carpentry work
necessary to restore the damaged sta
bles.
One end of the big barn, which
gives shelter to the horses and feed,
was blown away. About ten feet of
the structure disappeared in the
whirling winds, which were described
as being an enlarged whirlwind or a
small cyclone. The lumber was scat
tered in every direction.
In addition several tent structures
were razed, but with little damage,
as the ready-witted soldiers saved
the tent coverings and their belong
ings by laying flat on the cloth to
hold it to the ground.
A dozen or more trees in the Ell
Centre district were uprooted, while
others were damaged b ythe blowing
off of big branches.

FRENCH STYLES
TO REFLECT ON
WARS VICTORY
(By Associated Press)

Paris, March 14.-Paris fashions
this year will be "strikingly new and
handsome regardless Of the high
cost of living, and in the way of
gowns the feminine world expects to
see reaction from the wartime SIM
plicity, says the Excelsior.
A "victory" style in women's
gowns is expected to be much in
vogue this spring and summer, the
paper adds, and evening gowns will
be more elaborate than they have
been since the war.
Gowns will be longer and more or
nate, it is reported, and brilliant col
ors, profusion of flowers, plenty of
ribbons, frills and furbelows, will be
the rage. There will be no pronounced
military style The year 1919, it
is said, will not see the birth of any
distinctly new fashion, as it is only
a transition period"

ATTITUDE TOWARD
AUTHORITY ASSISTS
L. S. BOLSHEVISM

Philadelphia, March 14.-Bolshe-
vism in this country is encouraged
by "flippant attitude" toward law
and those placed in authority, ac
cording to Judge John M. Patterson
of the Philadelphia Court of Com
mon Pleas, in an address here recent
ly.
"The Bolshevik movement has
found root here because thoughtless
remarks are made about the men
we have selected or appointed to pub
lie offices. If these people don't like
the president of the United States,
or if they cannot show him the re-
spect to which his position entities
him, let them move on" continued
Judge Patterson.
"Although l am Republican"
said the judge, 81 heartily approve
of many of the things which Presi-
dent Wilson is trying to do for the
country. He was elected by the
sovereign people and should be sup
ported by all loyal Americans dur
ing his term of office. Of course,
we have right to discuss matters
affecting our welfare, but that does
not mean that we should attack
those who differ with u.s."
"If those who came here because
they could not tolerate conditions
in their own country find that our
ways are not to their liking, let them
return whence they came. Our pub
lie officials should be respected un-
til they prove corrupt and then there
is lawful way of removing them"
