With Milton Carlson. Los Angeles

Joe McCaffrey of Imperial on a
charge of forgery began before Judge
Franklin j. Cole in Superior court

McCaffrey, who is defended by At

was devoted to an unsuccessful at
tempt to empanel jury.
McCaffrey, it is alleged, forged the

Brawley. AS graduate nurse, Mrs.
Placencia was we'll known to coun-

of the county.
The immediate cause of death was
pleurisy. The funeral arrangements
have not yet been completed Mrs.
Placencia leaves many friends and
former peIients throughout the Val
ley, who mourn her passing. At vari-
Gus times she was employed by the
county. u
She was about so years old and
had been a resident of this section for
about five years. A native of the
East, she was a student nurse at the
famous sanitarium at Battle Creek.
In her professional work here she
was especially well known in the Nc

She is survived by two daughters,

AT THE PALACE TONIGHT.

Today is the day that all lovers of
clean, wholesome comedy have been
looking forward to for some time.
Jane and Katherine Lee, the "Baby
Grands" of the motion pictures, are
to represented in an uproarious, side
splitting farce called "Swat the SPY"
The Lees surprising ability as fun
makers has been so thoroughly estab-
lished that it has only become neces-
sary to announce their appearance at
motion picture house to bring the
crowds. This newest feature by the
Lee children is described as a merry
melange of mischievous pranks and
mirth- provoking situations, placed in
setting Of exquisite pathos and
practical patriotism. The comical
kids not only prick the inflated bub-
bic of a monstrous alien plot, but
they perform the operation in such
an eXquisitely humorous fashion that
it becomes constant source of de-
light and a JOY forever. Clumsy Karl
and numbering Lena are as much a
match for the keen-witted kids as a
hungry fly would be for a sheet of
tanglefoot! =

ROAD CELEBRATION

whom fate had marked down in her
| ledger book as being doomed to mis-
! fortune.
Throughout the territory surround
ing the city were dozens of cars,
whose drivers had unwittingly strayed
from the road or whose engines had
developed Bolsheviki symptoms or in
fluenza and gave one final cough and
then lay down on bed of pain to
die.
But the 200 or more Valley pee
pie who succeeded in landing at the
point of celebration, $500 feet above
sea level, and on an eagle perch
where the SUBMITS of the mountains
were plainly visible, felt amply rec
ompensed for their trip, even after
fighting the bad connecting road the
heat and the bumps.
The mountain road leading to the
point of celebration is one of the high
est, longest and most scenic COM
mercial highways in the world. 1t
was hailed as a marvel of engineer
ing and a monument to the man who
conceived and built it-Governor Es-
teban Cantu, head of the government
of Lower California.
At one point in the road-an es-
pecially terrifying place for those
suffering from weak heart or cold
feet-the traveller could count four
teen different sections of the high
way. Hair-raising hairpin turns,
empty compensated by the wonder
full scenic setting, are features of
this mountain section Of the road.
Governor Cantu graced the occa-
sion with his presence. The program
consisted only of one or two short
speeches, music by the Mexican band
and orchestra, and the barbecue, in
which six beeves were served to his
guests. Among the guests of honor
were Harry Chandler, publisher of
the Los Angeles Times; General M.
H. Sherman, and Mr.. Vosberg, prom
inent capitalists of Los Angeles.

But the Taxpayer must not forget
that the Board of Directors have
been compelled to borrow heavily and
