Under the direction of Robert F..
Lee, noted interior decorator,
who has had extensive experience
in all parts of the country, columns,
balconies. Oriental scenes and drap-
cries will change the bare appear.
ance of the gymnasium into 4 thing
of beauty.
Music for the dance will be fur
nished by Doe. Ross and his or
chestra from Kansas City. This or
chestra made a big hit with the
people of Ell Centre when it played
at dance in Elks hall a few weeks
ago, and the firemen Immediately
made arrangements for the SER
vices of the orchestra at their an
nual ball.
In this connection, two members
of the department took an exciting
trip last week. when n change in
plans caused the orchestra TO send

CAMPAIGN ON TO ATTRACTNEW
TEXTILE MILLS TO SO. CAL.

Realizing that the manufacture of
textiles is one of the most logical
industries for the southwest. the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce
more than a year ago employed 4
firm of cmpetent engineers of BoS-
ton to compile n series of reports on
the subject of cotton, wool and silk
and the possibilities of each in this
section. according to Thomas f..
Bomar, industrial engineer, these
general reports and number of re.
ports on other special subjects have
been distributed to over a thousand
mill men in the east.
1t is pointed out by Mr.. Bromar
that one successful local mill has
more effect among the eastern mill
men than many realms of literature
about possibilities. He points out
several notable examples of success
ful textile mill operation. One of
these is the Imperial Cotton Mill To-
Gated in Los Angeles, which is the
largest commercial mill in Southern
California. 1t has 10000 spindles
and 600 looms producing ducks, lin
ems and drills.
The California Cordage company
of Orange is another. This concern
supplies insulating yarns for the
California Wire company and has
2000 spindles, is running two shifts
making insulating yarns, wrapping
twine and mops.
Other textile plants include the
California Wire and Cable company
of Orange, the West Coast Textiles,
Inc, of the same city; the Hodson
company Of Redlands, the Golden

State Silk Mills of Hermosa Beach.
the Theme Hosiery Mills at Glen
dale, the Sierra Silk Textile Mills,
now being built at La Verne.
In the line of woOlcn manufacture
is the Golden State Wooden Mills at
Long Beach producing high grade
blankets and woolen suitings, own
ed and operated by the Pioneer
Worsted Mills of Los Angeles, An
other is the Santacala Woolen Mills
of Santa Ana. Still another is Worth
Brothers WorSted Mills located in
the city's industrial tract.
1t is pointed out that there is
room. for a large number of other
textile mills throughout the south
west. This territory, including Cal.
ifornia, Arizona and the Imperial
Valley and Lower California. pro.
dueed last year approximately 260,-
600 bales of cotton.
At present our supply of raw silk
comes from Japan, China and Italy.
Approximately 50,0O0.000 pounds
valued at something like $350,00O,-
600 are imported into this try
every year and it is pointed ont
that the greater part of this should
be converted into textiles here in
stead of being sent to the east for
manufacture and then shipped back
to this section cntailing extra
freight charges.
The - western states produce 65
per cent of all the wool grown in
the United States, yet these same
states manufacture only about l per

RITES
HELD TODAY ON
BROW OF HILL
(Continued from Page y


ped him, DRY w. d. Funkhouscr,
geoIogist of Kentucky State Unt
versity announced +.
This tunnel is being driven Mt a
point half way between the 50 foot
rescue shaft and the end of the lat
eral tunnel which terminates in the
manhOlc.
The callouscd hands of worn min
ers again grasped their picks and
once more they hacked away at the
strata of rocks and dirt.
IL. T. Carmichael, the Oman of
iron who led the rescue shifts in
the fruitless race with death, led
his men on to the final task of re-
covering the body if it is humanity
possible.
With the stoicism characteristic
of the hill folk, Lee Collins. father
of Floyd, waited patiently for the
diggers to complete their task.
Until the moment he was off
ciallv informed of his son s death
he had believed that Floyd would
be brought out alive. Then he
broke down and wept while neigh
bors pressed around him to offer
words of sympathy.
Wearied with their long vigil at
the mouth of the cave, most of the
neighbors and friends of Floyd gave
up in exhaustion today and remain
ed away from the cave.
The digging continued with only
Il few scattered spectators at the
mouth of the shaft.
Order An Autopsy
Flovd Collins secret of tho un-
derground wonderland he gave his
life to reveal has died with him.
Under direct and stringent orders
issue to General Kchoe over long
distance telephone early today by
Governor Fields of Kentucky, an
autopsy viii be held to ascertain
If by any possibility Collins was
the victim of poison while lying in
his place of entombment.
General Kehoe said the COVER
nors orders will be carried out. Al
50 the food and drink left in the
cave bv early volunteer parties is
to be analvzed. Officials here said
they suspected no one of poisoning
Collins. but the investigation is
ordered to still for all time the
wild rumors current during early ac-
tivities.
General Denhardt said that no
lives win be risked 10 bring out the
corpse from the cavern, which Car
michael regards as. extremely dan
gerous to rescue workers.
1t was all right for the work
men to risk their lives in 4 heroic
dash for Collins as long as there
was a slender hope that he still liy-
ed. = General Denhardt said.
But now that he is known to
be dead there is no reason for in
viting further tragedy in the depths
of the cave.
If Collins is rot brought out
from the place of his long suffer
ing and death, 4 simple funeral
will be held at the cave
and the explorer will sleep there for
ever.
Other burial plans VIII not be
made by members of his family
until it is known definitely wheth-
er tho body can be removed.
The military inquiry into tho res
cue work will reconvene at IL
o clock this morning for what will
probably be its last session.
