Club Girls Become
Genuine Leaders
Brown County Teams Show
Development in Home
Economics Work; Train
Younger Girls.

When girls clubs were first intro
though the organization merely a fad,
but they have had to change their
opinions, after watching 2,227 girls and
young women work in clubs last year.
Organizations have grown and devel-
Oped rapidly since 1918, and now every
part of the state has its girls clubs.
The girls clubs of Brown county
have in the last four years developed
from amateur canning demonstration
teams into real factors in community
life, 50 that at present they train
younger girls and lead III club work
themselves. Among the girls who
were members of the first organization,
one attends normal school now and
leads a local organization, while two
others attend State college.
In 1918 girls of Brown county We're
first interested IN this work through
May Kiethline, assistant club leader
in the state. They organized, using

cold pack method.
Canning was undertaken the next
year. with the demonstration team

school age could accomplish. In 1920
the Hub club was organized, and the
clothing project a its chief work.

Chicago as their championship award.
In 1921 the Hub club was represented
at Huron by Janette Owsiey, Ruth
Erstad and lola Osborn as clothing
demonstrators and they also were
made state champions and given the
trip to the international livestock
show at Chicago.
While these girls used the clothing
project they showed remarkable prog
ress. no only in making new garments
but in demonstrating to Brown county
women what could be accomplished
with old clothing. One girl made over
an old gymnasium suit into an at
tractive dress; another member ripped
up a dress suit that her father had
outgrown and made it into a becoming
street dress. The coat made the waist
and the trouser legs were used as pan
els over a foundation of black satin
for the skirt. One day this same girl
called forth much admiration from
her friends when she put on a new
dress and hat to match, a pretty out
fit made from her brothers old cadet

project was more difficult, but the
girls were able to turn out party, sport

stolen in Phoenix was found hidden

Over $4,000 in cash was taken
from the band, one old woman
alone producing $4,000 in bills, gold
and silver. The money was carried
in n bag strapped to her waist.
another member was relieved of
81 900, and other sums ranging from
$3.50 downward were taken from the
various members of the band.
The telegram received from Phoe-
nix accused the gypsies Of steal
ing $500, a quantity of jewelry,
silverware, dress goods and wearing
apparel. The gypsies denied the
crime and one woman in partieu-
lar told Sheriff Gillett this morn
ing just. what she thought of him
for locking up the band. Had ii
not been for the bars which separ-
ated her from the sheriff, the latter
would certainly have had a flight
ing wildcat on his hands.
Three Tribes Evidently
1t was impossible for the Officers
to get complete list of their
numerous visitors, but the band
seemed to be divided into three
families, the Stanleys the Nichols,
and the Boxers. The Stanleys were
booked as Katheryn, Leona, Robert,
Mary, Alice, Joe, Dina, Joseph,
George, Billy, Jack, Julia, Merry,
Minnie, George II, Bud, Maloney
Joseph G. and Lee. The Nichols
listed were Marie, Pink, Julia, Ida,

the Beker tribe were Dorothy, LIB

In order to get rid of the nuis-

turn TO the camp near Holtville.
The latter named, together with
most of the tribes baggage, were
kept in Jail pending advice from

had left the Jail, Deputy Sheriffs

men deputies heaved big sighs of
relief, and Offered a silent prayer
that no more gypsy bands will fall

New Courthouse
Progressing Well

Forms for the concrete walls of
the main floor of the new court
house are now being erected by a
force of carpenters and it is expect
ed they will be completed by the lat
ter part of the week.
According to Don Wells, who
with Ralph Swearingen is the ar,
chiteet for the building, the work
is progressing rapidly and the splen-
did weather which the valley is hav-
ing has aided greatly in expediting
the construction.
The new building attract the at
tention of hundreds of tourists who
pass through FL Centro and many
questions about it are asked at the
Automobile Club and the Chamber
of Commerce. The large sign erect
ed on the grounds, showing a
view of tho completed building, is
a good piece of advertising for tho
county, and let's all who pass by
know. that this community is
progressing.

Skulls Have As
Good Claim
As Any

SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 81.
Relics Of race which existed
thousands of years ago were
brought to light today by Prof.
J. P. Harrington, Smithsonian
Institute, digging in the Bur-
ton Mound.
Beyond this admission, the
investigator would make no
further statement.
A scientist friend working
with Harrington declared that:
Discoveries being made
here now may cause a reWrit-
ing of coast history. The re-
suit will not be officially known
until the Smithsonian Institute
speaks. I, not Harrington, re-
ferred to this section as the
probable original Garden of
Eden, because I believe that
the Barbareno Homo skulls
found here have as good claim
to great antiquity as any So
called near-man skulls found
anywhere.

Returning Love
Pirate Who Made
Money at Game

JUNEAU, Alaska, Nov. 21.-Po-
lice Inspector Swennes of Portland
is today voyaging southwark in
charge of Harold Steen, alias Wal
ter j. Harmon, accused of forgery.
Sweenes said before leaving here
that Portland police knew of several
marriages contracted by Steen at
various coast cities including two
in San Francisco, two in Portland
and one each in Vancouver, Il. C.,
and Seattle. 49,
Los Angeles police had reported
to the Portland authorities that they
had record of ether marriages.
According 10 Sweenes, Steen s
method of procedure was to court
and marry girls engaged in business,
whose standing in the community
enabled him to issue forged checks.
On the money thus obtained he
moved on to another section of the
country and repeated his process.
His latest bride is said to have
been taken in Vancouver, b. c.,
where her father endorsed checks
for Steen.
