AND PAVILION ARE
OPENED SATURDAY

Although the natatorium at Holt
vile has been in use for several
weeks past, the official opening will
be observed tomorrow night, when
a special program will be given.

the feature of the evening and some
of the best swimmers in the valley
are to be seen in action. The man
agement has recently completed q
fine dancing platform adjacent to
the natatorium, and will conduct
dances twice n week. The proxim-
ity of the dancing pavilion and the
cool waters of the natatorium are
sure to be pleasing to the younger
generation, who will doubtless find
this one of the most popular spots
in the valley.
Commons orchestra from Calexi-
co, with reputation for dance
music firmly established in all parts
of the valley, will play at the new
dance pavilion.

Hopes Blasted,
Bride, Family
Left Stranded

r. A. Heverion, OF Mecca, made
a rather unusual request to the She
riffs office yesterday. Heverlon
called up from Westmoreland, and
advised that he and his wife and
two daughters were stranded there
and were unable to get home. Ask
ed for details he explained that one
o fhis daughters was to marry Il
man, who agreed to drive the fam
iIv from Mecca to FL Centre for the
ceremony and pay all expences. The
trip to ElCentro was made as sched-
uled, but as the girl was under Is
years of age, no licence could be
issued. The man was over 40 years
old. Enraged at his failure to marry
the girl, the groom-to-be placed the
family in the ear and started back
for Mecca. On the way he drove so
recklessly that the family feared
for their lives, and when he stop
ped at Westmoreland, Heverlon re-
fused to go any further, with him.
The would-be groom went on to
Mecca, and Heverlon found him
self in a strange town, with u $50
check which he could not cash. He
called the sheriff's office for ad-
vice and was advised to go to
Brawley and see Judge Griffin who
would undoubtly be able to aid
him. Heverlon stated he and his
family would start out for Brawley
on foot. Inquiry at Brawley to-
day failed to develope information

Willard, FirpO
Two FavOrites
in Charity Bout
By HENRY L. FARRELL,

SuNeu hTtNS sum soETeHpoh"V"s
NEW YORK, May ll.-Jess Will
lard and Luis Firpo have been made
heavy favorites to emerge from the
ring at the Yankee stadium tomor-
row as illogical contcndcrs' for
the heavyweight championship.
Willard has been established as Il
l3 to II fayorite over Floyd John
son and Firpo 3 TO over McAuliffe,
with no McAuliffc cash in sight.
The odds on Willard are mislead-
ing and opinion is most unanimous
that the crude, light hitting John
son hardly has chance, but those
who like short end CANDLES and the
"youth-age" proverb are betting
almost against their judgment.
Firpo is such a pronounced favor
ite that the hackers are the Argen-
tine giant might go four or five to
one if there happened to be any
money at all to back McAuliffe.
Interest in the other three bouts
on the card that has been arranged
for the benefit of the milk fund, is
less than normal.
Sale of seats had gone beyond
$25O,000 and there are so many re-
served and unreserved seats avail
able for late demands that the gate
may run up to $450,O0O if the
weather is favorable.

that Heverlon had shown up. The
sheriff's office cited the incident
as one of the many queer calls they
get for assistance, and the idea
some folkes have that the office is
a clearing house for trouble of any
sort. Only recently a stranded aut-
omobilist on the San Diego high
way called up to have his car tow
ed in and was very much peeved
when told that there were garages
equipped to provide such service
but the sheriff's office was not in
competition with them.

By United Press Leased Wire

DEAL, England, Mayy1l--Fran,
els Ouimet, the United States last
hope in the British amateur golf
championships, was eliminated to-
day in the semi-finals by Roger
Wethered.
The Britisher won two up and one

bore on his slender shoulders all
Yankee hopes of achieving a :ictorv
such as has not been won since
1904, when Travis took home the
amateur title, was not in the game.
When he missed 4 short putt 1T the
first hole hopes of his followers fell.
He evened the match at the sixth,
but from then on Wethered always
was Ouimet s master.

 With the law now nearly two years old. Commissioner Husband of the immigration bureau, declared that this has been it's most significant re- suit for the future of this country. The proportion of northern Euro pean immigrants Is greater than a few years ago. Nearly all of the northern and western European countries have now filled their quotas, bringing here a desirable and an unusually high type of immi- grants. About 60 per cent of Euro pean imm grafton during the past year was from northern and west ern sections of Europe, records show. This compares with IS to 20 per cent of the total before the war.
 "The increasing immigration from northern and western Europe Is par ticularly valuable" Husband said. These people assimilate easily and fall in with our national life, being the parent races of those who settled our country.
 "The people from the southern and eastern portions of Europe, no mat ter of how high at ype, never really melt into our scheme of things.

TO TEST NORLD'S LARGEST A|RPLANE
Plane With 12O Feet Wing Spread To Try Out At
 Dayton

DAYTON. June 16.-(By Associated Press.)-The largest alrplane the world has known. with a wing spread of 120 feet-half again as wide as the great Martin bombers of the army air service-will take to the air for the first time here some time this month.
 The new monster of the skies, in- tended solely for use as bomber, and said to be capable of carrying a quantity of explosives sufficient tC' destroy large portion of a modern city, is being assembled at McCook field. the army air station, under the direction of Walter H. Barling, its designer.

 Driven by six Liberty engines, the new ship will require minimum crew of four men and contain pro- visions for a working force of eight men to be used when the oc casion requires. Exclusive of the crew, 1t will weigh more than 10000 pounds.
 With tho idea of obtaining a maxi mum of lifting power, stability and safety, MT. Barling designed the ship as a tri-plane of modified type.

 plane as a machine of war, MT. Bar ling, who during the war did much experimental work for the British Royal Flying corps, says that It's maximum load of several tons of ex- plosives could do untold damage. One bomb of the size which the ship can carry would be capable of sinking the largest and newest type of naval vessel, he believes.
 Likewise, a single bomb from the machine, he declares, could demora- lize an entire community. Should such a projectile be dropped in the center of a city, he says, fifty-foot crater would be dug, all buildings in the vicinity completely destroyed and structures for a half mile or more would be greatly damaged.
 The plane will have no passenger carrying facilities and It's value will rest entirely in its ability to transport large projectiles great distances.

EARLY ERUPT|O IN HAWA||'S B|G VOLCANO EXPECTED
Mountain Has Gone Through Cycle For Past Nine
 Years
H1LO, Island of Hawaii, June 16.- By Associated Press. .)-The present

HILO, Island of Hawaii Juno 16.- (By Associated Press. .)-Ths present spectacular activity of Kilauea, the ever active volcano on this island, probably indicates the rapid ap- proach of a. great outbreak of the sister volcano, Mauna Loa. one of the largest in the world, according to statement by L. ". de Vis-Nor- ton, secretary of the Hawaiian Vol cano Research association.
 The activities of the Mauna Loa- which rises 14,000 feet above sea level. occupy a cycle of roughly nine years. 1t has been found, and 1t is upon this fact that De Vis-Norton based the indications.
 In the immense fire-pit of Kilauea floods of molten lava, In excess of 1,00O. 100000 cubic yards daily, are yelling up from unknown depths now and this Is said to be cer- tain indication of the rising of the lava within the Mauna Loa rift system.
 Slightly more than year ago the active throat of Kilauea collapsed 2nd presented to the spectator a terrifying abyss HOO feet deep and more than a mile wide. Its walls overhung on all sides and the only things to be seen were masses of debris and broken rock far below the rim of the pit. Now the diam eter of the pit Is more than one and a quarter miles and there is an area of 2S acres of seething, boiling and wildly fountaining lava, less than 200 feet below the rim upon which the spectator stands.
 Earthquake shocks which are be- Ing recorded at Kilauea volcano ob- servatory seismograph. together with reports from outlying stations at important points around the en- tire mountain, strengthen the indi- cations of an outbreak of Mauna Loa, which may be reasonably ex- pected to come during the June sol stice, De7Vis Norton said.
 While an overflow of Kilauea is not anticipated at present. the heat of the rim is becoming increasingly intense.
