came so famous that Sol , Lesser,

self.
Baby Peggy grabbed the first
rung of the ladder of fame and
fortune on the Century comedy lot.
She helped along while in. two
reelers.
Then Carl Laemmle, president of
Universal, saw her. He took her
to Universal City for the filming
of three pictures, the last of which,
1.-The Little Immigrant" she is
now completing.
Her best picture, the one that
riveted her fame, was edith S Bur-
glar,' adapted from the Frances
Hodgeson Burnett novel. Al
Baby Peggy is three and half
years of age. Two years ago when
the last edition of the motion pic
ture studio directory was compiled,
there was no hint between its
covers of the existence of Baby
Peggy. She begins her career un-

Official Record
Shows Cool e st
July In 10 Years

According to the report of Ray
S. Carberry, chief engineer for the
Imperial Irrigation District, last
month was the coolest July in 10
years. Tne maximum temperature
during the month was 113 degrees
and the minimum 81 degrees. The
average temperature during the
month was S8.6 degrees. This will
be a surprise to those who believe
Imperial valley to be an inferno
during the summer months, but the
figures have been accurately record
ed, Carberry's report states. A 10
year average of the mean temper
ature for July shows 90.1 degrees,
which is considerably lower than is
generally believed.
The total revenue received by
the district in the United States
from January l to August l was
$5s9,329 as compared with $4S9,077
for the same period in 1922, showing
an increase of $l00,252 or 20.5 per
cent over the same period in 1922.
In Mexico, the money received
from January l to August l was
1854, ,129, as compared with $2S2,289
for the same period in 1922; an in
crease of $71,S40, or 25.4 per cent.
While the maximum discharge Of
the Colorado river at Yuma during
the month was $4,000 second feet
compared with 74,50O in 1922, the
1922 minimum of 10,500 second feet
was considerably lower than the
1928 minimum of $4,000 second feet
and resulted in an average dis
charge of 42,761 second feet for
July, 1923, as compared with 1885
second feet in the same month of

TANNING WITH FARRELL
BY HENRY L. FARRELL. Omitted Press Sports Editor)

arises: "What will Greb do with
the title when he gets it9'
All there is to the title that is
now possessed by Wilson is some
glory that might be attached to
any kind of championship, and
after the disrepute that Wilson
dragged the class into, there is
darned little of that attached to the
crown.
Wilson has made little more than
the proverbial dime out of the
championship, and he acted so in
restraint of trade that it will take
a new firm years to build up bust
ness again.
Despite the insistence with which
he maintains that he can make the
weight, Greb is no middleweight,
and if he is called upon or required
to do much in defense of the title
he will be sure to go the way of Joe
Cans.
Greb is none too rugged, even as
a ight-heavyweight He has been
IN bad health and he has drained
his resources by much fighting and
hard fighting. He has also failed to
adhere strictly to life of training.
so far, this sounds as if Greb al
ready had won the championship
from Wilson. He is not yet in pos
session of the title and perhaps he
is a very great distance from it.
Wilson was made favorite in
the early betting, for reasons that
might be hard to explain, consider
ing The form that he has shown as
fighter, and most of the experts
believe that he has more than an
even chance to retain his title
There was a story printed Seve-
raj weeks ago that the fight had
been fixed, that Greb was to take
flop and then alibi that he was
weakened too much by making the
weight.
Such stories, although granting
the fact that fights have been fix
ed in the past and that they NAV
be fixed now, are entitled to little
consideration.
