THE reason why schooboys furtivey read dime
novels under their desks during history hour is
that as a rule, novests of the Nick Carter school
have far keener of the literary possibilities Of
suspended interest dramatic situation and wel-ap-
preached climax than is displayed by the pedagogues,
with necs cramped in the yoke of tradition who write
textbooks. AS good rules work both ways, is 1t not
reasonable to suppose that if a writer Of school his
tories with all the comedy, tragedy, adventure, mys
terry and romance of the ages to draw upon,
clever enough, he might make textbook so thrilling
and absorbing that boys would stay indoors to read it

,FIREME FROM
SAN DIEGO in
BORDER VICTORY

With PraI, former San Diego
high school star on the mound,
backed by a fast team of profession
al and semi-professional players, the
San Diego firemen proved too much
for the Palacios of Mexicali on the
latter's grounds yesterday, romping
home with a 10 to 5 victory. Clean
for most of the runs and several
extra base hits with men on the
paths in the sixth inning gave the
firemcn the number of runs by
which they won the game.
Prall got off to Il bad start, be-
ing nickcd for II couple of hits and
hitting a man himself, which en-
abled the Palacios to put two runs
over the pan in the first inning
In their half of the third inning,
the San Diego team fell on Sigal-
y1a, the Palacios pitcher and went
into the lead by one run, fast
double play shutting off any fur
thcr scoring. They added two more
in the fourth, accounted for by
solid hitting. The Palacios also got
run in their half of the fourth.
The fircmen drove Sigalla to the
showers III the sixth inning, getting
three runs before he was dcrritkcd
in favor of Shaney, who pitched
for Calipatria in the Valley Leaguo
last winter, and finished the 1872!
season with the Milwaukee Amcri'
can Association team.
The "luck.s seventh y brought
the Palacios two more runs which
ended the scoring. The firemen ran
up IA total of Is hits to 10 fol-

ncv went him one better.
There was u large crowd out tt

And the "two WashingtOns -

RIVERSIDE BOYS
BEAT LOCAL BOYS
in 73 TO 6 SCORE
Supe rior Experience,
Weight of Visitors
Gives Them Game

Handicapped by lack of weight
and experience, the Ell Centre Jun
ior College football team went
down to defeat Saturday afternoon
on tho. local grounds literally
swamped' by the husky River
side Junior College team by the
one sided score of 73 to 6. One
lone touchdown represented the
sum total of FL Centre s scoring
and they failed to obtain the goal
point following the touchdown.
Without any intent to take the
fruits of victory from the River
side boys, it must be said i'll fair
ness that the advantages were all
on their side. They were the rep
resentatives of a school that has
been in existence for several years,
enabling them to perfect a system
whereby good football teams can
be turned out from year to year
The local boys formed the first
team to represent FL Centre Junior
College on the gridiron, and though
they were outplaycd all through the
game, they were game to the enc
and were fighting just as hard when
the final whistle Blew as they were
when the game started.
Riverside produced formidable
line, with Il speedy backfield, and
by rcsorting to straight football tac-
ties, they went through the flimsy
Ell Centre line almost at will for
gains. Only once did they lose the
ball on downs. However, when they
tried the aerial game, they proved
to be no better than FL Centre, and
failed time and again to complete
forward passes. In this kind OF
attack the local boys showed ur
equally as good as the team from
tho north.
Played Clean Ball
In the first six minutes of play
Riverside had scored two touch
downs aud made the goal point
after each. In less than five min
utes, straight football ia c t / c
brought them another touchdown
and a goal. On Rivcrsidc's kick
off to I'll Centre following the third
touchdown the local boys made
first down, and quickly followed
with two we'll executed forward
passes which sent the ball over
Riverside S line, thereby having the
locals from "a shutout.
After this one score, Ell Ccntfo
lad but few chances to add to It,
Bv. the end Of the first quarter
Riverside had scored q points TO
El Centre = 6. In the second quart
er the northerncrs added 20 more
noints. In the third quarter they
made two touchdowns and goal
.and repeated the operation i'll the
last quarter. They played good
clean football ind deserved every
roint they made. The local BOYS
did their best and have nothing to
be ashamed of. They got Il good
walloping, ana the chances are tina,
everyone of th"m learned great
qcal by it that will be of advantage
TO them in future games. Thcy
deserve the support of the people
of Ell Centre and il is to be hopcc
that the school $ growth will turn'
;sh football material that will pro
duce team that will make River

Furniture styI. Origin.

The story of modern furniture right
ly begins with the crumbling of the
Middle ages. The baronial hall stage,
with it's religious Formally, combined
with it's rugged simplicity, was being
followed by more withdrawn, domes-
tic and luxurious life AS always, this
was reflected in the furniture The
strong and simple high and narrow
Gothic style, with it's characteristic
pointed arch. began to be debased.
France is said to be the first coun-
try to be influenced by the Italian Re
naissance, but there the Gothic and
the classic FLASHED. The process of
grating the Italian style on the Gothic
hardly began in England until 1850,
when it was nearly completed in
France. By the end of Elizabeth's
reign, 1903, there was a semblance of
unity, and the Jacobean period Gre
ated itself.

the people who lived in the quiet,
peaceful valley at the foot of the
Twin Peaks. But the Rain Gods, who
dweit on the peaks withheld the rain
and the invaders were forced to flee,
for the land became a great and wa

But the invaders, who had con

closed, had meanwhile established a
mighty empire in the south, extend

They had numerous stone gods
which they worshiped, and images of
these gods they placed over all the land.
It was their custom that these stone
gods should be decked with gold and

by laws based upon the present condi.
ton of roads, except of course as a
temporary measure, as to expect that
highway departments will respond to
every caprice of automobile design.
Highways must, however, be consid-
cred as only a means to an end and
that end, national transport. II is Just
as necessary to pass regulations gov

to its use by self-propelIed vehicles

reasonably light vehicles capable of
carrying its load at minimum cost.
