FOR new MEMBERS

At the business meeting of the
county .cAairmen of the home depart
ments of Imperial county which took
place following the joint luncheon
with the Farm Bureau directors it
was decided that in the fall there
to increase attendance at the vari-
Gus home department meetings
throughout the valley.
The plan as contemplated calls
for the appointment of committees
Of three women each by the county
chairmen of the departments These
committees are to make a survey
of the farm homes of the valley,
explain to the farm women Just
what the advantages of attending
the demonstrations are, and induce
them to come and benefit by the
instructions that are given by train
ed workers.
1t is believed that there are many
women in the valley not reached
by the organization who, as taxpay-
ers, should benefit by the taxes they
pay. The work is supported by tax
alton and should be of material ben
eft to all farm women. The county
chairmen want to reach every home
in the valley in their publicity cam
paign aud are endeavoring to carry
out the point stressed at the Wo-
men 's#Glubs Federation convention
in Los Angeles that knowledge
should be passed on so it can help.
Others
Other routine business at the meet
ing included a summary of work
done by Miss Orpha A. Miller during

ness. This was the last meeting of

SACRAMENTO, June 30.-How
can reckless motorists be made tc
respect the law?
There are ideas and ideas but
Will II. Marsh, chief of the Cali
fornia division of motor vehicles to-
day advanced the theory that the
most effective system would be tc
amend the law so as to permit
Judges to tie up the cars of offend
ers in place of filming them.
"The man who is convicted OF
reckless driving and who has had
his license suspended should have
his car taken away from him at the
same time,' said Marsh. eff the
car is tied during the period his Ii
cense is suspended real punishment
will have been meted out and the
public will be assured that the NOM
cnt the reckless driver is released he
will mot be able to go on driving OF
turn the car over to some member OF
the family to drive for him.
"The lesson is of little avail to
the reckless motorist if it does not

Franklin's Home
Torn Down, Make
Room for Bridge
Hy United Press Leased Wire

PHILADELPHIA, June 30.-The
march of progress to make way for
the new Delaware river bridge
which will link Camden and Phila-
delphia in 1926 has meant the tear
ing down of many historical homes
here, including the old dwelling of
Benjamin Franklin.
Shortly after Ben Franklin be
came established here he bought a
block of buildings on Front and
Spring. streets for five pounds and
ten shillings. In one of these
houses, III Spring street, the great
revolutionary patriot and discoverer
of electricity dwelt for many years.
The home of Franklin IS, however,
was in the way of an approach on
the Pennsylvania side to the bridge
now under construction. The city
condemned the property.
Benjamin Z. Sattler, owner of the
little home at Ill Spring street
received $4,000 to pay him for ats
demolition because of the bridge,
An enterprising contractor who
tore down the dwelling sold briks
from it as relics and received more
than $4,000 from them.

Traffic Officer
Springs New
Ticket

Tnaudible license numbers
are the latest thing in the long
list of motor vehicle violations,
according to a ticket turned in
by Traffic Officer Floyd
Ackley yesterday.
When the captain of the
squad squinted a skeptical eye
at the slip handed him, he
queried: s'Inaudible license
number? What the h IS
that?'
Information was Forthcoming
Immediately from other men,
bers of the squad to-wit:: Elm
audible license plates are the
kind that don't rattle when the
motor is running. We figured
that they ought to be heard as
well as seen, so we just wrote
this one up. because it was fit
ted on the car so securely and
in plain view under the tail
light. It was too rare to be
overlooked.
The explanation rendered
the captain inaudible so the
case was dismissed.

Clamp Ban on
Alfalfa From
Part of Nevada

According to plans agreed upon
G. flee of G. II. Hecke, director,
state department of agriculture with
Governor james G. Schrugham and
other Nevada representatives, a re-
cent survey has just been complet-
ed by A. G. Fleury, supervising quar-
antine officer, State Department of
Agriculture, of the alfalfa weevil
conditions in the state of Nevada.
The weevil has been found this
year for the first time in Churchill
County, within five miles of the
Fallon. district which is the largest
alfalfa producing section of Nevada.
The proximity of this new infes-
tation to the Fallon district pre-
cludes the possibility of safely ad-
mitting alfalfa or other hay into
California from ChurchilP County
and no modification of California s
quarantine against the county of
Churchill will be made.
In Lyon County, Nevada there
will be a modification which will
per nit the importation into the
state of California of all alfalfa
hay and other hay from that por-
tion of Lyon County south Of Il
line drawn east and west through
the town of Waubuska. This will
pernit-the movement into Califor-
MIA of alfalfa hay from some $4,000
in the southern half of Lyon Coun-
ty.
This modification as to Lyon
County will be made subject to the
state of Nevada, placing inspectors
upon the roads leading into that
part of Lyon County from which
California will accept hay.
