AVA OR FALLS
HUNDRED FEET;
GIRL UN|NJURED

What came near being Ell Centro's
first aviation accident occurred this
morning, when Aviator Al Wilson
and Miss Zaida McLane as passenger
fell 100 feet.
The engine had attained height of
100 feet, when for some reason the
,carburetor became clogged and the
engine stopped dead. Aviator Wilson
thought that it was time to come
down when his engine stopped, and
glided into some bitches just outside
of town, near the aviation field. One
strut was broken and was repaired
inside of 80 minutes.
Because of this, Mr.. Wilson has de-
layed his trip to Phoenix and has sent
two machines ahead. He will leave,
in all probability the latter part of
the week.

! DR.. Mead Talks
/ Dr.. Elwood Mead was called on,
following the reading of the minutes
Of the Berkeley conference and the ap-
pointment Of committee to re-edit
them, correct them, and prepare q
brief to give his views as to what
SHOULD come before the meeting.
| Dr. Mead stated that he considered
the most important thing at present
was an expression from the National
American Legion convention at Min
.neapolis, November 10 to IL, favorable
ITO the Imperial valley plan. He said
he believed strong representation
should be secured from California.
Following DR.. Mead, Morris Bien, of
the United States Reclamation Serv
ice, was called on, and he stated that
he believed the best hope Of the Valley
now was in action endorsed by the
soldiers. This was his personal opin-
ion, as he was unable to speak for the
reclamation service. Mr.. Bien spoke
of conditions in Washington and be-
lieved direct appropriation would be
hard to secure. He also added that
Imperial valley had one of the strong
est propositions in the United States
to offer.
Visitors Talk
Following this, the resolution ex-
tending an invitation to Adjutant Gen
eral j. j. Borree to be present at Min
neapolis was passed.
Dr. Mead was then given place on
the second delegation at Washington.
These recommendations will come be-
fore the district beard tomorrow morn
ing for final ratification, but inasmuch
as some of the members were present,
it is expected that the appointments
will be mere matter Of formality.
All of the visitors present were
called on for short talks and respond
ed. Charles II. Lee was the one who
suggested that Secretary Lane be ask
ed to participate and on second by
Mr.. Niemever, the motion that an in
vitation asking him to be present at
Minneapolis was carried.
Publicity Urged
The matter of proper publicity then
was BROUGHT before the meeting by
D. F.. HARRISON and lengthy discus
sion ensued as to the best methods Of
procedure.
Mike Liebert, Walter B. Bibbey, A.
M. Nelson, DR.. Mead, Jack Thompson,
of San Diego, and others gave views,
all of which conceded in some respects.
1t was decided and motion made
and passed to ask the irrigation dis
trict to create the office of assistant
secretary, and the duty of the person
holding the office will be to get in
touch with local people who have
friends in Washington and get letters
written to them, urging favorable ac-
ton on the Valleys problems.

Campaign Will Cover Three Weeks, From April q to
 May 10

Secretary of the Treasury Glass has formally announced that the Victory Liberty Loan Campaign will open April q and continue until May 10. Short term notes, maturing in not more than five years will be issued instead of longer term bonds.

 The Victory Liberty Loan will, therefore, take the form of notes of the United States maturing in not over five years from the date of issue. These notes will be, as were the Lib- erty Loan bends, the direct promise to pay of the United Estates, will be issued both in registered and coupon form, and the coupon notes will be in final form and will have at- tached the interest coupons cvoering the entire life of the notes.
