While we feel sorry for the
rest of the folks who are suf-
fering from the heat which has
claimed the entire state and

feel consoled considerably that
the mercury does climb at 9TH
er points just as high as it does

When one considers the ther-
mometer has been registering
temperatures of 106 in San

degrees in Sacramento and 112
degrees in Fresno, we feel a
lot Of folks owe Imperial Val
ley an apology for regarding
this as the hottest spot extant.
Temperatures like these at
other points really spells suf-
fering, for it is usually accom-
panied by horrible humidity,
such as we in the valley know
nothing of.

the police court this morning on
vagrancy charges, following raid
by Officers Applegate and Mayo
yesterday ON an east side shed that
mas been used for months as a rem
devouz by tramps and drug addicts.

the shed contained several complete
Iayouts for taking "shots" of NOR
phine and cocaine.

Riley, George Davis. James Clark
and Harry Silks.
Gibson, Pearl. Clark and Silks
pleaded guilty, and were sentenced
to jail for 10. 90. 60 and 90 DAYS
respectively. Gibson. who gave his
age as %, was given a talking to
by Judge Whitelaw, who held up
the older men to the accused as
sample Of what would eventually be-
come unless he mended his WAYS.
Because of his youth and the be-
lief that he might profit hy LEM
'iencv, the court gave him a 10 dav
sentence. Silks claimed to be suf-
Ifering from cancer. an3 the court
Iordered that he be examined by the
county physician
Rivers, Riley and Davis entered
pleas Of not guilty, and were re-
.manded to jail 10 wait trial on Mon
day. Davis, the Youngest of the
trio. was unusually vchment in pro-
testing his innocence. He denied

was inst getting warmed up, he in
sisted that Davis should run back
