CHOOSES REFORM
SCHOOL RATHER
THAN GO HOME
Mexican Youth, Is, Sent
to Preston Until
He's 21

John Franco, 16 year old Mexican
youth, who stole Ford car in this
city two weeks ago, after he had
been given a chance to make good
by Probation Officer Swanson, was
committed to the state school for
boys at Preston until he is 81 years
old, at hearing before Judge
Franklin j. Cole in the juvenile de-
partment of the superior court yes
terday afternoon.
Franco proved to be the type of
youngster that is most trying for
court officials to handle. He told
the court his mother lives in old
Mexico and his father is dead. He
refuses to live at home and ran
away about two years ago. Follow
ing an escapade in Arizona, he was
sent to the boys school in that state
and was discharged after serving a
year.
About two weeks ago he was ar
rested in this city on minor
charge and made such a good plea
for another chance that it was given
him on his promise to 60 to Los
Angeles and get a job. Instead of
so doing he stole car and succeed
ed in getting 80 miles east of Yuma
with it before being captured.
Given his choice yesterday of re.
turning to old Mexico or going to
the reform school, he chose the lat
ter, saying he would not live in
Mexico on a bet and would rather
be in custody here. He was taken
to the state institution today.

"Lizzie" Replaces
Old Time BurrO
BY United Press Leased Wire

BY United Press Leased Wire
OROVILLE, May 1.-The old
time prospcctor, picturesque figure
of the west, with his heavy boots,
khaki pants, mackanaw shirt, long
beard, sombrero; he still exists, but
his old burro-she is no more. He
has fallen for the "lizzie'.
Where the burro carefully picked
its way, the flivver now rattles
along. Maybe it doesn't climb
mountain trails quite as elegantly,
but it climbs 'em somehow.
George Eller, old time prospector
here, learned something of the lizzie
to aid in mining. He started out.
He had, learned how to run it and
how to keep on going-but he didn t
know how to stop. After the wreck
he announced he would get another
and take driving lessons.

Rev. Shultz Talks

Rev. Shultz gave {; very interest
ing talk about his voyage to India
and his experiences there. He and
three others, as Il quartette, sang
their way around the world. They
had plenty of entertainment, in
cluding indoor ball They visited
the volcano "Killa Whale' where
they were perfectly warm seated a
long way off, as the volcano furn-
ished terrible heat.
The most interesting experience
was the story Of child widow in
Calcutta who wished to be forgiven
Of her sin of being suspected of
killing her husband. She went to
worship the Bloody Goddess, visited
numerous temples, and still was not
satisfied. Then she became q Chris
tian and spent the rest of her life

cipal speaker.
DIR. Moore has been holding meet
nIgs in various valley cities this

many interesting things to say. AS
the inclement weather has interfered

is believed that Sundays rally will
be particularly well attended.

Ten Thousand Club Women

Members Of the Woman's Ten
Thousand Club will have a special
treat next Thursday when the Lit
erature Section presents Mr.. Robert
Van Kirk in Browning program.
In speaking Of Mr.. Van Kirk s
work, an eastern newspaper says,
"Mr. Van Kirk g recitals are GIN
from memory and are a wonderful
intellectual treat. They can only be
compared to such performances as
Paderewski gives when he plays a
program of the most difficult music
running through hours from pure
memory"
Mr.. Van Kirk has appeared
throughout the east, and since his
arrival in Calexico has given one
program there which proved all
statements made about him to fall
short of the reality.

"ZANDER" A MOST
DELIGHTFUL PLAY

Truly spectators at the Palace
theatre last night can feel satisfied
that they We're given really first
class performance in the presenta-
tion of "Zander" by Los Angeles
company. The east was decidedly
the best seen on local boards at any
time and the character of the show
was good.
The play which received high praise
from eastern and coast critics de-
serves what has been said about it.
Delightfully."- amusing in many places
with clean comedy, 1T caused the
appreciative audience to laugh
heartily and to wish that longer
engagement might be enjoyed.
Miss Lillian Albertson carried the
role of Mamie vey ably and receiv-
ed splendid assistance from her as
sociates. The work of Zellah Gov
ington as Good News, rather dilap-
ldated camp cook, stands out rs
high light. Texas, the character
played by Earl Metcalfe also de-
serves special mention as it was
exceedingly well-portrayed. Richard
Travers, as well as Metcalfe, is Il
motion picture star and one might
say the former looks the part of the
leading man role he took. "The Ac-
quittal,' a picture juss completed IN
Los Angeles and not yet released
features Travers as star.
The company proceeds to Yuma
for performance there and then
covers the state of Arizona.

What's NeUest in
Goats for Spring

The three quarter length separate
coat stands out as the approved style
for spring. These are both plain
and pleated, but are always beltless,
devoid of closings, and held to the
figure by the hand.
Coat sleeves are either full length
or seven-eighths length. The fav-
ored styles include cape and raglan
sleeves, the leg-o-mutton shape, and
the long, tight sleeve which has a
much flared circular frill at the hand
or a gauntlet cuff.
The formal afternoon coat shows
marked favor for combinations of
black and white. Coats of black
crepe and satin are. featured with
lining of white crepe or moire. These
are trimmed with a piping or an in
conspicuous embroidery of black on
white, or of white on black.
Plaids are extensively used for
coast, trimmings and Innings.
