CURTAlL WATER
FORTY PERCENT
BY PRO-RATINC

No serious damage has been re-
ported from the pro-rating Of irriga-
tion water put in force by the dis
Strict offices at Calexico on Satur-
day. The curtailment of water
amounts to about 40 per cent of the
amount ordinarily used at this time
of year, according to Chief Engineer
Raw Garberry today.
The exact pro-rating announced
by the district calls Tor four tenths
of second foot each "a hours for
each $1,000 valuation during the ten
day period ending August 26. At
that time a new announcement will
be made covering a period of ten
more days. ,t
The ten day period has been chos-
en-, because reports available from
the government station at Grand
Canyon make is possible to give a
fair estimate of the volume of wat
er that will be available for that
length. of time in advance.
When asked today for a statement
as to the probabilities for the re
mainder of the summer, Chief Engi-
neer Carberry said that he could
give no information other than that
in the announcement already made.
THE fluctuations of the Colorado
river are too uncertain for anyone
to guess what VIII happen more
than a few days ahead, he said.

SCIENCE STUDIES
MARS, RESULTS
NOT MADE PUBLIC

MOUNT HAMILTON, Calf, Aug.
l9.-Efforts of scientists at Lick
Observatory on Mount Hamilton to
learn some thing new about Mars
during it centennial visit near
the earth thus far have been with
out result.
Ever since Friday night, when
Martian observations began here-fn (
earnest fog has come up just when
the big planet was letting it light
shine most brilliantly in the south
ern sky. 'a
Last night was no exception, q
gray haze Tipping between the tel
escopes and their celestial subject
as the latter mounted toward the
zenith, preventing observations.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 49,
Every delicate instrument that
science has developed for the study
of the stars is being employed dur
ing the few remaining days of Au-
gust to get the latest news from
Mars.
This planet will snuggle up to US
until on August 2S it will be only
34,6O0,000 miles away--the closest
in 100 years.
Lowell Observatory, Flagstaff,
Arizona, long recognized as MAR
uan headquarters, and Lick OBJ
servatory on Mount Hamilton, Cal.
are looked to by scientists to pro
vide the bulk of news information
during this period of the planet :
near approach.
The most extensive equipment
ever to be assembled for the study
of this particular planet is being
employed at Lowell, through whose
telescopes most of the knowledge
rossessed by science has been
CLEANED.
The question us to whether there
is life on Mars can only be deter
mined, scientists say, by discovering
whether its atmosphere eompares
favorably with that of the earth.
The extent and composition Of
this atmosphere, temperature NJ
different positions of the planet =
surface, and probable causes for
changes in the surface are details
which scientists hope accurately 70
learn.
No results of these observations
have been made known since work
was started IN earnest last Friday
night.

Suing Parade In.
San Diego Sh0Ws
: Extent of Faith

"a great caravan came out of
the East and over the mountains
and hit the Sample boom In his
home town kerplunk on the point or
its Chandler shaped chin, ~ declar-
ed Joseph Timmons, special writer
for the Los Angeles Examiner, at
ter watching the hundreds OF I'm.
perial Valley ears that swarmed
through San Diego's business dis
trict yesterday after making long
parade from East San Diego down
University avenre and Fifth street
into the heart of the city.
"At that, not so many flivvers
were in line,' remarked Mr.. Tim
mons this morning in his account
of the festivities. "Many large
ears, shiny limousines' of bankers
and prosperous business men OF the
valley towns, were conspicuous. But
most of them were medium sized
automobiles, dingy from hard ana
practical use to and from the
ranches. Farmers families filled
MANY of them, with mother along
and father at the wheel.
What Mr.. Timmons saw and so
! vividlv described of the parade yes
| terdav, was what San Diego saw,
and seeing couldn t help but beheve.
62O Automobiles
| More than 600 automobiles by
| the count-620 to be exact-swung
down the hills that lead into San
Diego to proclaim Swing to the port
metropolis of the Eleventh Congress
sional district.
1 1t was the biggest parade imper
ial Valley ever gave. 1t was an
| indisputable declaration OF loyalty
| that won t be downed by any
amount of sarcastic comment.
While San Diego was being swept
nv tbe caravan from the desert oa-
3, sis. FL Centre and other valley
towns were practically closed TO
business. Up and down Main street
here. mercantile establishments were
/! closed all day long, and othef
places of business and offices were
open only in cases of necessity. III
! was Phil Swings day.
| When traffic in the downtown
sections of San Diego cut up the
! parade, there was such Il swarmlng
of Imperial Valley autos in every
street. that it appeared as though
the paraders had suddenly brought
| in reinforcements. Banner-bearing
ears swung into Broadway from ev-
erv side street, and then circled ;'t
the pier and scattered through the
city again.
The meeting held last night at
j Liberty hall, was attended by Il
large crowd that overflowed the
limits Of the hall, and jammed into
every available corner of the room.
Congressman Swing was the prin-
/ cipal speaker and time and again
his declarations were applauded by
the listeners, The meeting which
was in charge of j. G. Scott, char
man of the county central commit
tee of the Swing club, showed that
