Professor Alva 0. Neal, university

aptitude for study than High School

Woman Physician Discusses Modern Styles and Urges Mothers to Keep Daugh- tdly From Sex Movies.

z Because long skirts are insanitary
 and unhealthful and because short
 skirts are morally unhealthful, Dr. Gertrude M. Kinsella urged mothers
 present at the meeting of the Parents and Mothers club at the Central Junior High school yesterday after noon to exercise care in the dresses they allow their daughters to wear.
 The address by Dr. Kinsella proved to be one of the most interesting and instructive ever given before the club members. The speaker asserted that many of the girls dress merely to at- tract the attention of young men. She claimed that long skirts which touched the surface of the sidewalks collected an unusual amount of dirt which was carried into the home and spread germs. She also claimed that the skirts to the knees were too short and believes that the skirts should be about nine inches from the ground
 Mothers were warned to study and understand the lives of their own daughters: to know where they spend their nights and where they are if they are out late.
 Dr. Kinsella also stated that moth- CTS should inform their daughters about what they should know and not let them go about blind and igno- rant of the facts of life until they are told by someone outside of the fam fly.
 She advised mothers to use discre- tion in the entertainment they allow their daughters, strongly urging them to prohibit their attendance at mo-

MEDIATION PLANS ARE
 READ WITH INTEREST
Londoners Arc Watching German French Situation Closely, Hop-
 ing for Settlement

London, Jan. 19.-(By Associated Press 1.-Two reports of mediation ip the Franco-German situation were read with interest by Londoners to- day
 That which came nearest home was an Essen dispatch to the Times de- ciaring that the German government was sending a confidential mission here to request Great Britain to ten der her services in composing the Ruhr differences.
 The other report contained in re- liable advices from Paris reiterated that Italy was desirous of effecting a settlement between Germany and France, chiefly because of the extent of the French military operations which do not meet with official ap- proval in Rome.
 Officials here, however. profess to see little hope of success for medi- ation plan at this time, when Will helmstrasse's policy has the whole hearted support of all Germans, in- the socialists.

Jacumba Now Has
Active Chamber,
Plan Town Hall

A live, up-and doing Chamber of
Commerce has been organized at
Jacumba and bids fair to take a
prominent part in the activities and
development of the "roof garden
town. More than SO members have
been signed up including business
men and permanent residents, and
weekly meetings will be held every
Tuesday night at the Jacumba drug
store, according to w. f. Vaughn.
Their first achievement Will doubt
less be the construction of a civic
hall, to be used for public meet
ings, chuch services, film exhibi-
tions and Chamber of Commerce
headquarters.
The contract has already been let
, for the hollow cement blocks from
which this will be built. The Inn
perial Valley Cement company opens
up IL plant this week to begin man
ufacture of 10000 of these blocks
and it is expected there will be
enough orders to keep them con
tinually busy.
The completion of the new auto
camp is a decided adjunct to Ja-
cumba. For a very small sum,
these quaint individual shelters may
be rented, with a run-in for the car.
Another interesting item of news
is the fact that r. j. Parr of San
Diego has pougnt a complete block
of lots on which he expects TO erect
q bungalow court. Erection of the
first unit is already under way.

CANTALOUPE IS
KING AT SEELEY
CENTER MEETING
Big Feed Followed by
Program Full of
''Pep"

Seeley Farm Center did itself
proud in the matter of entertain
ment last evening at the meeting
held in the school house. l.. G. Lee
manager of the American Fruit
Growers and also vice president of
the farm bureau furnished the piece
de resistance in the form of lusci-
GUS iced cantalcupes. He had hard
time at first to keep up with the on
rush of those present but soon dem
onstrated his ability as slicer of
cantaloupes.
The more serious part of the pro-
gram then took place. The meeting
was duly called to order by Lee who
then introduced E. w. Cuff of Braw-
ley who struck responsive chord
among those present by telling
what he thought of the progress be
ing made in furthering the interests
Of Boulder Canyon Dam and ALI
American Canal. He declared that
those who had stuck to the valley
through seemingly hard times and
trials would in a comparatively short
time be able to show others the wis
dom of their decision. AS soon as
congress officially announces its
plans to build the dam thousands
of people from everywhere will
flock to the valley in an attempt to
get some of it's fertile acres.
Explain New Cotton Plan
Mr., Lee announced that Mr.
Jenkins, manager of the farm bu-
reau, had drawn up n tentative plan
and contract that would enable the
cotton grower to mark his crop more
successfully. Part of the plan was
to establish an office at Imperial
where all cotton grown in this dis
trict could be sampled and graded.
Then the buyer of cotton, finding
what he wanted could deal with the
planter direct, and the planter
knowing beforehand just what his
crop grade was could deal intclli-
gently with buyer and get what his
cotton was worth. For this service
and also the hiring of Il field man
to go out and obtain samples of the
different growers cotton a nominal
charge of one dollar per bale would
be charged.
In no sense would the farm bu
reau act as an agent and would only
agree to sell the growers cotton on
a written order from him. After
some discussion as TO the different
merits of the plan, it was adopted.
Ncrn De Tar gave an interesting
resume of the progress made by the
COW testing diversion of the farm
bureau since its inccption six months
ago and predicted even greater sue
cess for the ensuing period. He al
so made few recommendation in
regard to feeding in order to keep
up the average of production dur
ing the summer.
Several members of the FL Centre
chamber of commerce made remarks
and pledged their support in any
thing they could do to help the
work Of the farm centcrs and farm
bureau.
The meeting was adjourned until
some time IN September, when the
work for the new year will be
launched.

Special Session
May Help Dam
Legislation

Although there are conflicting
reports on information received in
Imperial Valley to the effect that
President Harding has practically
determined to call q special ses-
sion of congress, probably around
September Is, much more than or
dm1ry interest was created because
of the campaign that is getting un-
der way for the SWingJhonson bill
that provides for the construction
Of the Boulder dam and AlI-Amcri-
can canal.
The ,information will doubtless
be one Of the CHIEF topics before
the irrgation district directors Tues
day and some action may be taken
to speed up their program. The di-
rCctors are out on their ranches, or
out of the valley today, and could
not be seen for Gn expression on
the subject but It is known that
Congressman Phil Swing has more
than once expressed the thought
that special session would be cali
ed. He hopes that it may result in
passage of the legislation in less
than year. If it is necessary to
await the regular session of con
grcss, his bill might be passed dur
ing the session, but the appropria-
tion bill might not get through be
tore adjournment, which he believes
almost certain in May, because Of
the fact that a general election
campaign will be ON, and the con-
greSamen will wish to get into the
