SAYS |. w. w. Card
lis Good as Ticket

CALEX1CO, March 15.-Harry
Baines, lately arrived from Los An
geles, said in police court the other
morning that he carried an l. w. W.
card principally because it enabled
reader travelling over the railroads
in the event of shortage of funds.
All hobos, he declared, carried |. w.
w. cards and by reason of their
numbers and solidarity were able to
scare railroad men into carrying
them.
Baines was given SO days on the
chain gang by Justice Markey for
intOxication. If he responds to the
open air treatment as did two pre-
ViouS /. W. W. placed on the gang,
he will get a new angle on life and
cease carrying the card of the order
which operates under the ban in
most places. One of the reformed
men has remained in the valley and
become an efficient farm hand who
declares himself done with wander
ing and radiealism. Baines claims
to have joined the I. w. w. in Los
Angeles recently.

Third of Pupils
Found Defective

HOLTVlLLE, March l5.--Nearly
one.third of the grammar school
children examined by Miss Marjorie
Sturgeon, county nurse, during last
week were found defective. Out of
the 352 eases approximately 100 had
some trouble with the eyes, the

here is better than in any other
school she has visited in her eNper-
icnce, she states. Holtville is the
first she has examined i'll the val
lev. She will later be able to make
comparative report of all the valley
schools.
Miss Sturgeon is to take up the
work for the tubercular association
but for the present is working with
the schools. When she is able to
have more help to follow up individ-
ual eases of need, she will devote
her time to the tuberculare work.
The educational work will be con
ducted in the schools, which will

the year the follow-up work will be
started, it is hoped.

of conferences with parents of the
children who have some trouble. She
consults with them about the child s
condition, and in many eases recon-
mends that doctor be consulted.

see her are asked to come to her
office in the grammar school.

tween the grammar school and the

Fire Marshall
Calls on People

cALEXICO, March Is. - Fire
Marshal Henry G. Webster is MAX
ing headway with the pursuit of
his job in the new city office. Up
10 today he had made more than 40
calls. had talks with a good many
more than that number of people,
entered into the reasons why ii is
good business for every resident to
stand with the fire marshal and
help with the better protection of
the city, and received assurance of
hearty cooperation from all with
whom he has met. So the job is
going good in the hands in which
il rests.
Al present the fire marshal is put
ting particular stress upon section
four of the city ordinance under
which he works. This article has to
do with the manner of disposing of
rubbish within the city limits. Its
requirements are plain, made with
-she view of preventing the starting
of accidental conflagrations. 1t is
explicit in requiring that rubbish
when burned in the open shall be
placed in some manner of container
that will keep the embers from
blowing and setting fire to things
that it is not intended shall burn.
The article in full is as follows:
Section 4. No person, firm or
corporation shall burn any rubbish,
debris or trash in said city except
between the hours of 6 a. m. and
0a. m. o'clock of each day. and
if the same is burned within the
fire limits of said city, if shall be
burned in incinerators or in some
other device suitable 10 protect the
ashes and refuse from being scat
tered about. In no case shall any
rubbish. debris or trash be burned
during high wind sufficiently
strong to scatter ashes or rubbish
about the city and thereby en-
dang property.

BUSINESS LOST
BY SHORTER HOURS

CALEX1CO, March l5.-Govern
ment losses through shortened hours
of opening in the C:lexico post
office bid fair TO exceed any saving
made in the employment of lesser
forces than required to keep the of
flee open full time.
As much has been indicated today
by the turning of many patrons to
the express office who have here
tofore purchased money orders and
forwarded their p;rcels through the
postoffiee. Finding the latter clos
ed and unwilling to wait or unable
to return conveniently, these have
gone TO the other forwarding agency.
1t has been swamped with bust
ness, particularly in the money or
der Department, and Agent Alexan-
der is facing the need of getting
more help.
People desiring to make trans
mission of business on the morning
trains under the new hours of open
windows at the postoffice have no
alternative but to 90 to the express
Sffice.

Plunge for Club
Members Only

ALAMORIO, March 15.-Only
members of the Imperial Valley
Country Club and their friends will
be privileged to use the plunge at
the park, according to announce
ment by Manager J. f. Elmore. The
directors have decided that as the
club is now private concern, the
small amount of revenue that would
be netted by operation of the plunge
for the general public would not
compensate for the advantage gain
ed in keeping it for their own
amusement and for that of their
friends.
The plunge is to be thoroughly
cleaned and painted in blue and
white, Mr.. Elmore said.
Last Sunday the growing popu-
laritv Of golf was demonstrated
when many of the members took ad-
vantage of the occasion TO try out
their clubs on the new course.
