ELLIOT SHOULD MAKE GOOD
Pacific Coast Star Looked Like
Million Dollars While Playing
Last Winter.

Carter Elliott looked like a million
dollars playing winter ball in Cali
fornia last winter and was. recon-
mended to major league scouts, but it
was discovered he was tied up with
Seattle Then last spring the Seattle
club sent him to Yakima and it was
concluded he would not have been let
out If he had been more than a
flaeh. However, in the p. /. league
this season he showed that Seattle
had made a mistake, for he has hit
around 800, is one of the leagues
best base runners, and has been some
thing of a sensation as a fielder. He.
may not come through for the Chicago
Cubs, but he will if there is anything
I'm dope.

n Hornsby, Manager John McGraw
of the New York Giants is one of
the most talked of men in baseball to-
day. There is every reason he should be,
for he has won his seventh pennant in
the National league, an achievement
no other manager has ever equaled.
BY beating out the Pittsburgh Pirates
for the championship McGraw has
broken tie for winning pennants that
existed between him and Connie Mack
of the Athletics. Up to this season
each had won six.

HOME BREWING
IS LOCALIZED

Washington, Aug. 1S-IIome brew
ING and distilling is in fair way to be
virtually legalized, Government legal
advisors said, in discussing the action
Of the house restricting the actlVl-
ties of dry law agents against home
brewing.
The house adopted a provision in
the anti-beer bill prohibiting enforce
ment officers from entering private
homes in search for liquor without
search warrants. 1t is specified that
even then, search warrants shall not
be issued unless it is shown that the
place to be searched is being used for
the manufacture of liquors for sale.
The measure will radically curtail
part of dry enforcement program. A
revision Of the rules governing en-
forcement officers will be necessary, it
is said.
Legal authorities; discussing the
action of the house interpreted it to
mean that home brewers, making beer
for their own personal needs, or to
serve to guests in their homes need
have no fear of interference by gov
ernment officers.
This provision of the bill is strictly
in line with the ruling of number Of
Federal district judges who have
from time to time held that the pro-
hibition sleuths have exceeded theil
authority when they entered private
homes and made seizures of liquor
without warrant.

BOWES FREED: IN
CALEX|CO CASE

Charles T. Bowes of this city was
vindicated in police court at CaleX-
leo yesterday of a charge of having
driven his automobile while intoXi-
Gated and the charge against him was
dismissed by City Recorder Steindorr
of the border city.
Bowes' arrest came as the result OF
driving his automobile back of the
CaleXico water works pump house,
but it came about solely through
Bowes wanting to drive the car around
the block rather than attempt to turn
it in Il small parking space that was
filled to overflowng with other ma
chimes. He drove out behind the
pumping pant believing that the pas
sage way was open to traffic to a
street on the east side of the plant,
and it was after he had discovered
his mistake that the officer placed
him under arrest The first charge
placed against Bowes was one of reck-
less driving, which the arresting Off
Ger said included collision between
tn car and the back Of the pumping
plant, but this phase of the incident
like the intoxcation charge proved
to be groundless.
J. B. Dudley of Brawley was also
discharged by Judge Steindorf yester-
day afternoon. His case was similar
to that of the Ell Centro man except
that he was charged with driving his
car across the main thoroughfare OF
CaleXico and then across two vacant
lots to the next cross street. He was
dismissed on the motion of the district
attorney because of lack of evidence

romantic incident in news reporting,
but the wireless telephone in this in

him, direct into the office of the AS
sociated Press in loop skyscraper
His voice carried as clearly as if he
had been in an adjoining room.
The new experiment in reporting
was made possible by the cooperation
of the United States navy department
and the naval reserves of Illinois.
The transmitting equipment, furnish
ed by Captain Edward A. Evers, COM
mandng the Illinois Naval Reserves,
was installed aboard the submarine
chaser 4l9, placed at the disposal of
the Associated Press by Captain Dan
iel w Wurtzbaugh, commandant of
the Ninth Naval District and Great
Lakes Naval Training Station. Lieut..
A. c. Forbes, wireless officer of the
Illinois Reserves, was in charge of the
installation.
At the Associated Press offices, on
the seventh floor Of an office build
ing, a small receiving set was placed
on one corner of desk, and for aer-
ial, single strand of wire was
stretched from a window to a roof a.

Cells Of the building of the enterpris-
ing little town from the bare desert
and illustrations show the town as il
.is today. ........,--.ss.a.''''a''7''' ''''a''7'''''''''
The Story bears the caption, "Cal-
ipatria, Desert Blossom. and is as
follows:
Seven years ago the euphonious
name of "Calipatria' was bestowed
upon a certain siding of the Southern
Pacific Railroad in Imperial County,
California An old freight car, tent
and barrel of water marked the spot.
1t was the center of a vast plain, and
those eyes that gazed over this torrid
landscape found relief in the occas-
ional clump of mesquite, greasewood,
or perhaps a barrel cactus. Negeta-
ton was indeed scarse around Cali
patria then. and such as there was
you were going to Calipatria you fol-
lowed the railroad; otherwise the
chances were strongly against your
ever finding it. One thing Calipatria
had even then was sunshine, and an
abundance of it. Two years later man
brought water-canals were dug, cul-
tiavtion started and Calipatria start
ed to bloom.
Today Calipatria is hustling little
city inthe center of some 100000
acres of extremely rich land, seventy
per cent Of which is under cultivation
and work is under way to bring what
remains to the same state. Callpatrla
boasts a population of more than eight
hundred people. two banks, two hotels,
excellent public school buildings, grain
warehouses, cotton gins-among other
crops they raise cotton-lumber yards
garages, paved highways, electric
lights and power. Also this town has
what is most desirable there, on ac-
count of the super abundance of sun
shine-a first rate refrigerator plant.
Often one hears of the deseret being
made to bloom as the rose Calipatrla
is demonstration of tit is the
blossom which had for a bud an old
freight car, tent and barrel OF
water. Perhaps there was something
symbolic in the barrel of water.
In this Transformation products of
the Standard Oil company and Stan
dard service playtE a prominent part.
Back in 1917 when the project was
in it's infancy, the company established
a substation at Calipatria which sHp-
piled fuel and fabrication for d large
number of tractors and other motor
vehicles and machinery that We're fac
tors in making Calipatria what II Is
today.
