ATHLETIC BODY
MEETS TONIGHT e
TO TELL CHAMP
Association 10 Decide
on Bradley and
Kliegel

Some lively arguments are expect
ed tonight at a meeting of the I'M
pcrial Valley Interscholastic League
at Central Union High School in
determining just which team in the
league won the high school football
championship. AS the standing OF
the teams is at present, Calexico is
in the lead, having won five games,
lost none and tied one. Central
Union is second, with three games
won. two lost and one tied.
However, Central Union has pro-
tested three games played by Calex'
leo in which Bradley appeared in the
Calexico lineup and, as the Calexico
school authorities have admitted he
is ineligible to play, if the league
throws out the games he participat'
ed in. the championship will un
doubtedly De awarded to Central
Union. CalexicO, however, brings q
counter-charge against Captain klie
gel of the Central Union team, al
leging he too is ineligible to play
1t is believed Calexico will protest
the games in which he played foI
the local team.
Calexico also adds little more
fireworks to the situation by init
mating all has not been well with
| the members of the Brawley team
so the probability of three cornered
scrap for the championship of the
valley looms on the horizon.
Coach Sees Agreement
However, it is believed, according
to CoSch Armstrong of Central Un
ion, that the difficulties arising can
be settled amicably and all the
members of the league will abide by
the decision reached tonight. The
opinion prevails that any trespasses
against the league rules were unin
territorial and there is no cause fol
any aggravated charges.
With actual football a thing OF
the past, Central Union athletes
are turning to basketball and the
team will play its first game a
Brawley on Saturday. Only two
men are left of last years squad
and the team needs cOnsiderabl,
strengthening before it will be OF
championship calibre. Kliegel al
guard and Captain Starr at forward
are the only veterans of last years
! team left. The new men will prob
ably be, Stafford, guard; Hurst ol
Helm, center; Thomas or Allen
forward.
The team is handicapped by the
short time for practice between the
end of the football season and the
beginning of the basketball season
as most of the basketball men were
also out for football. However, a
similar condition exists among most
of the other schools.
Girls Play December II
The girls basketball team, under
the supervision of Mrs. Perry
Rogers, is fast rounding into shape
and will play its first game Satur.
day, December II, at Imperial. The
Brawley girls are not playing bas,
ketball. Several good players are
left from last years squad and the
prospects for another championship
team are exceedingly bright.
Due to the fine weather at pres
ent, baseball is not being forgotten
at Central Union and the track and
field men are also keeping in good
trim for coming events in their lines.

POISON IVY.

Dear Social Corner Sisters and Edi- tor: While cleaning up your lawns and garden beware of the poison ivy.
 It is an easy matter to tell the diff ference between the poison ivy and the harmless woodbine when one remembers the old caution that all vines may be safely handled if there are five leaves for the five fingers of the hand
 A less number of leaves is liable to be harmful to people with sensitive skins
 In the majority of the cases of those who are susceptible to the poisonous touch, a weak solution of common bak- ing soda and water applied immediately after exposure is sufficient. A teaspoon of soda dissolved in half a cup of hot water, cooled and applied with a soft handkerchief, is generally efficacious. Some persons who are exceedingly sen s--ive to this poison find this remedy always good.
 Others find 1t necessary to apply a weak solution of carbolic acid or a weak solution of sugar of lead Neither of these latAer powerful remeBiHs. how ever, should be used without the advice of doctor. The itching and discomfort also may be relieved by bathing thE part In a mixture of one teaspoon of carbolic acid, one tablespoon of glycerine, one half pint of rose water.
 Hoping this will be helpful in time of need, yours for the Corner.

TO IMPROVE CANNED FRUIT.

Dear Editor and Social Corner Sis ters: Here I am again. Have been read ing the Social Corner letters and they always make me feel like talking back First of all I want to thank Kitty Lou for the pretty Easter card she sent me. When I received it I experienced a pleasant thrill. It was the first card ever received from the Social Corner. and I truly appreciated it.
 Chelsea wants to know what is bad for red ants. If she had the kind that poster me there would be no room for the red ones. They are black and nearly the size of katydids, and, Oh, how they will run. All the way can keep them from food is to keep it in the cellar I have tried many things but nothing seems to discourage them.
 Reading of some of the quaint char acters in the letters, reminds me of one that I used to see when I was 8. little child. He was an old man, who had no use of his limbs He used to sit on a leather apron and drag himself along the sidewalk He carried a sick and bag, also tambourine which he used for a collection box after singing, I can't remember his songs except the chorus of one which was: "Oh, she worried me, she Hurried me, it was her hearts de-
 
 shovel round the room at night" used to feel sorry for him as I got the impression from his songs his wife was responsible for his condition. Per haps some of the sisters can remember mole about him.
 Dc any of the sisters ever have a can of fruit that has more juice than fruit? If so, a nice way to improve 1t is to put it in stew pan and put h a tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved m water to a quart of fruit and let it boil until the cornstarch is cooked. Ii gives substance to the juice. have tried Kitty Lou's and Canter- bury Bells remedy for a rusty sink and found it just what they said. Wouldn't It be fine if we could have all the recipes and household suggestions in a book with an index so one could find what they wanted? I have many of them pasted in a book, but have to look the book through to find anything. I hope Grand ma H. Olga and Annie, and all the sick ones are improving. Will close witt best wishes for the success of the Cor ner.
