whip. Cullen Lands is cast as the
lad who has to fight his way out Of
the"fog" Of black and dismal circum-
stances. Every lad has secret am
bition and in the case Of Cullen, it
was to write poetry. Father thought,
of course, that poetry writin' was in
f1uences of the devil, so he attempted
to knock it out of his son by the use
of whip.
Even the lads mother had no ap-
probation Of the poetry dreamed by
her son. The apple Of her eye was her
daughter. So son had to inhale the
unpleasant atmosphere of a tannery
while sister went on petting parties
at college. The real interest of this
movie centers in the work of lands
as the poetry writing lad and Ralph
Lewis as the father.
The story is rather jumpy at times,
and some of the characters are
dropped without showing US just what
happened, although we are promised
that such things will happen in the
sub-titles. Lands has given the
screen a sort of a Willie Baxter char
acter.e When 1t comes to counting the
girls, this lad was mot there" He
thought a kiss was a sign that he
was engaged. Such Kiss" ties him
UP with a chewing gum Juliet, played
by Louise Fazaenda. And here Is a
comedy characterization which will
make new friends for this actress.
Admitting that the ending Is over
drawn, and not in step with the great
human attributes of the stary, yet
THE Fog" is such good entertainment
that no one should miss seeing It.
1 am going to remember the work
of Cullen lands in The Fog" as long
as movies are made. 1t is the chief

Chicago Couple
Tell Of False
Tales of Roads

Arriving here from Chicago after
an overland auto trip from Chicago,
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry r. Caldwell Of
that city today told of the eXper-
fence they had at Hassayampa, Ar
izona, when practically everyone
they met in that vicinity warned
them not to try to reach the coast
by way of Imperial Valley.
Propaganda Of this nature is just
what has been agitating members
Of the Borderland Highways Asso-
citation and making them ready to
fight for truthful representation
of facts.
Mr.. Caldwell stated that from
what he saw and heard in the Ari-
Zona town about one car out of ev-
cry so which come to that point
from the east has the bravery to
try the Imperial Valley route after
the tales told. That the road is i'm
passablc, that there isn't any road
at all and similar myths are being
spread by the population there,
apparently for the purpose of get
ting auto tourists to ferry across
the river at that point and leave a
$3.50 fee with the ferry owner.

BERLIN, October 22.-The stoves
that once cooked the meals of the
Hohenzollerns today prepare food
for hundreds Of hungry little chill
dren of poverty!stricken families
in Berlin.
At least Il portion of the propa-
ganda for the opening up of the
famous castle Of Kaiser Wilhelm at
the end of Unter den Linten for
practical purposes has been effec-
tive. The great kitchens where
once the food of the royalty was
prepared have been placed at the
disposal of Austrian relief organ
munity food dispensing agencies
throughout Germany.
The work, under the leadership
Of Frau DIR. Genia Schwarzwald of
Vienna, is in return for similar aid
given Austria during her trying
days just following the armistice.
Food for from 5000 to 1000 per-
ons may be prepared at one time
in the big kitchens of the castle
which, until opened for relief pur'
poses, were amused since the Ho-
henzollerns left the castle so sud
denly in early November. 1918.

CLARITY OF OUR
WATER is AHEAD
OF OTHER TOWNS

Three samples of water taken
from faucets in Brawley, CaleXico
and FL Centre reposing in the office
of the city clerk today, attracted
considerable attention and caused no
little comment from visitors.
The samples were taken in each
of the cities on Wednesday of this
week. Those from Brawley and Ca
cxico show considerable sediment,
while the sample from FL Centre is
unusually clear.
1t was explained by City Engineer
Dyer that the difference in the ap-
pearance of the samples, however,
did not necessarily mean that there
is less bacteria in the FL Centre S
water than in that from Brawley
and CaleXico. One visitor seemed
to sum up the general impression
when he said, "If | had to take Il
drink from any of the three sam
pies, bacteria or no bacteria I'd
pick the FL Centre sample for it
certainly looks the cleanest, whether
it is or not. -
