Wo1ner's Interests
WHERE PERFUMES or RAKE QUALITY
HAVE ONE STREET TO THEMSELVES

a street of perfumes What an
aillring, enchanting, enticing place
such "a street should be-especially
when it is to be found in land not
1ar from where Cleopatra lived and
ciIarmed-in the land of precious
herbs and fragrant flowers! There
is Sioux el Attarine in Tunis with
shop after shop of some of the most
precious perfumes in the world.
Bnt there is also % street Of
leather, n street of pottery, to say
nothing Of street Of food. For
in Tunis each craft, each industry,
each fOod-almost-has street of
its own. And so, although the
tourist may walk through the
Sioux el Attrine dreaming of en-
chanted gardens, he is apt to be
quickly disillusioned, for promptly
there will come, toward the end of
the street whiff of seasoned
meat, perhaps, or the sickening
things, Tunis is a city of countless
smell from Il bakery. Among other
smells, and not all are as pleas
ant as that on Sioux el Attarine.

10000 Sheep Will
Be Transferred
to Mountains


The district forester at San Fran
cisco has been authorized to issue
emergency permits to allow 10000
head of sheep to Craze on the Sc
quota National Forest and 10000
head on the Sierra National Forest,
on ranges now closed to sheep graz
ing, the United States department of
agriculture has announced.
In issuing these permits it is dis
tnctly stated that they are to be
for the 1924 season only and are not
to create a precedent. The decision
to issue them was brought about by
the emergency arising from the poor
condition of sheep ranges in CalifOr
MIA because of the drought i'll the
lower attitudes of that state. The
foot and muth disease was another
factor entering into the decision.
The ranges opened by the action
Of the forest service lie in the high
Sierra mountains. Due precautions
Will be taken by the sheep owners
and the forest service to prevent any
injury to either the timber or the
recreational areas of these two ma
tional forests. The permits will
specify trailing routes and grazing
areas, and each 7pefmittee must de-.
posit cooperative funds on pro rata
basis to ensure the employment of
enough forest guards to control the
movement of the sheep both on the
trail into the forests and while on
the ranges. Funds must also be
guaranteed to repair any damage to
roads and trails Travelled by the
sheep.

Ribbed We0Ues Kidding
for F0UCr in Fabrics

Ribbed weaVes are making q
strong bid for general recognition
in the field of wool fabrics, and with
some success. They are among the
newest offerings with manufactur-
ers of silks, too, who present ribbed
Wcaves for dresses. Heavier weaves
have attention, but their use is
largely confined TO tailored suits
and dresses where a closer weave and
a faEder surface are desired to de-
velop Il strictly tailored effect in a
garment. Still heavier ribs are for
coatings. Not infrequently the ribs
are broken with cords in the wrap
producing a stripe effect on a ground
broadly classed as a poplin.
Fhis it will be seen that ribbed
weaVes of soft construction are best
adapted for dresses, while Stiffer
weaVcs lend themselves to tailored
effects.

POWER SUPERVISOR
NAMED; DETAILS OF
POWER CUT GIVEN

Harry G. Butler has been APP

tion, Midland Counties Public Ser
vice Corporation, Los Angeles Gas
and Electric Corporation, Southern
/ Sierras Power Company, San Die
! go Consolidated Gas and Electric
Company, Ontario Power Company,
and Ojai Power company, as the
result of the emergency created by
the shortage of rainfall and re-
sultant reduction in hydro electric
power production.
As the result of hearing conduct
ed by the commission the companies
enumerated, recognizing the emer.
gency and the need for regulation
so that all interests may be prop
erly conserved, joined in a Aresolu
tion pledging cooperation with the
commission in all matters concern

Power Shortage
In its order the commission points
out that the evidence indicates def
initely the need of an immediate
of the use of electric
energy by consumers of the South
ern California Ellison Company, and
of private and municipal electric
systems supplied by it, and the re-
duction of the use of electric ener-
gv on other systems interconnected
with the Southern California Edison
system to the fullest extent possible.
The evidence further shows that II
power shortage existed on the
Southern Sierras Power system dur
ing the early part of this year, and
that probable shortage will oc-
eur during the latter part of the
year.
The commission points out that
he power situation in the entire
erritory served by the utilities sub
lect to this proceeding is such that
the problem is one of community
md territorial interest rather than
one of the interest of
Individual utilities.
The commission finds that n re-

city shop keepers are protected
firm the hot tropical sun by
rounded roofs which cover the
streets themselves. They may dis
play their wares on the outside of
their stores without injury from the
sun.
Women Of the upper classes are
seldom seen on the streets of
Tunis or in any part Of Tunisia.
Those women who are seen upon
the streets are either Jewesses,
Arabians or Mohanmedans of the
lower classes. For Mohammedan
women of the upper classes remain
hidden in the seclusion of their
homes.
Girls are permitted to roam
about the streets as they will until
they are 10. At this age they take
the Mohammedan veil, and are al
lowed very little freedom.
The women of the middle classes
who are forced by circumstances to
do their own shopping always wear
dark heavy wells, and not only hide
themselves from the view of the
world, but shut out the world from
their own view.

Very Best Year
Tn /. V. History
Continued from page y

continued from page j
ed that the company was pleased
with money conditions at present.
lie also said that the Southern
trust and Savings Bank was sat
lsfIed that a prosperous year is i'm
mincnt
| At the First National Bank, Pre-
sldent Leroy Holt was equally op-
tlmistic. He stated that the semi
annual dividend of seven and one
half per cent had just been paid to
stockholders. He spokefof the var
lous crops Of the past few seasons
including the successful melon, let
tuce, grape and cotton harvest of
last year and of this year. While
some few people lost money on each
individual crop, the majority more
than broke even on their invest
inent and many made considerable
money.
For the 1924 season to date he
cited the fact that the valley has
had successful lettuce and canta-
loupc seasons with both the grapes
and cotton promising to be even
better. The smaller crops such as
grapefruit, grain, hay and similar
crops were financial successes. The
daIrying of Imperial Valley con
tinued throughout the epidemic
with little Inconvenience to local
dairymen. This industry is one of
the best money makers in the val
ley, and its prosperity in the face
of the disastrous effects of the cat
tie disease epidemic through the
central section of the state has done
much to add to the general feeling
Of prosperity.
Gives Following Figures
President Holt gave the follow
ing figures to show the amount of
business his institution has gained
in three years. Deposits on June
80, 1921, $1,664 ,290.1s; June 30,
1922, 1854 ,3O6.62; June 80, 1923,
$1,000, ,G76.36; June 30, 1924,
$2,172,41S.18. The depression in
1922 changed to decided gain in
1923 and still more IN 1924. NJ.
Holt has watched the valley grow
from its infancy being one of the
pioneers. He has Il firm belief in
the future of the reclaimed desert
and believes that conditions now
warrant his continued faith.
O. G. Horn, manager of the Pa
Southwest bank, stated that
the four Imperial Valley branch
banks of the Pacific fi4southwest
chain of banks in California were
doing an increased business over
last year of Approximately 100 per
cent, and that deposits had increas-
ed at least 80 per cent during the
past year. Speaking strictly of
Imperial Valley conditions Manager
Horne said that FL Centre and vi
cinity was perhaps in more stable
financial condition than the rest of
the valley.
Mr.. Horne referred to the fall
real estate and cotton markets as
being very active locally. He
thinks that cotton will be as sue
cessful as it was last year and that
prices will equal those of last year
or be close to them. Mr.. Horne
stated that as manager of one of
string of Southern California banks
he could say that the financial sta
tus of the valley today was better
than that of any other section of |
the state.

About the Mattress

The mattress of the bed should
be turned over and around at least
once a week, to insure comfort and
even wear. A great many mattress
es have straps on the sides which
make the turning very easy. If
these are not on your mattress, they
may be sewn on at home, using
any kind of strong material for the
purpose.
