Produce Shipper
Buys Fine Home
On Wensley Ave.

Demonstrating his faith in the
future of Imperial Valley and show
ing that he wishes to become defin-
itely connected with FL Centrs, Vie
tor Gentle, we'll known LEGALLY as
one Of the pioneer produce ship
pers, has just completed the pur-
chase of an attractive new home on
Wenslcy avenue.
The Gentle family spend only n
part of the year in the valley. com
ing down from the coast for the
shipping season. They are not con-
tent to have temporary accommoda-
tons in FL Centre, so are purchas-
ing from the Valley Lumber com
pany the house being erected by
that firm on the north side of Wens-
ley between Sixth and Seventh
streets.
The house is an eight room bun
galow of Spanish style architecture,
finished in stucco with ried tile
roof. All modern builtin features
are included in the house as we'll as
cosy breakfast nook, roomy closets
and hard wood floors throughout.
A cove ceiling, fire place, and wide
windows of old Spanish design give
the living room an air of distinction.
The bungalow, now being rushed
to completion to accommodate its
new owner, forms n desirable addi-
tion to the south side residence dis
trict where so many new homes
have been erected within the past
year.

OAKLAND DOUBLES
DETROIT SALES
DURING OCTOBER

AS Detroit goes in the sale of
motor cars, so docs the nation.
In automotive circles Detroit re.
tail sales have come to be taken as
barometer of the trend of motor
ear retail sales throughout the cOun
try. This is due to the fact that the
Detroit buying public is perhaps the
best Informed and most cXacting
motor car purchasing public in the
world, according to w. w. Tison Of
Rogers & Tison, local dealers.
in this cXacting market the new
Oakland six has hung up another
record by doubling its deliveries in
October as compared to its best
previous month in Wayne county,
which includes Detroit. Three hun
dled twenty-five Oakland SKIES
were delivered. according to the
registration figures Of the Detroit
Automobile Dealers association,
while untitled orders carried into
November totallcd o46.
This significant record in this
highly competitive market places
the new Oakland deliveries as fol
lows in Nesroit and Wayne county:
II placed Oakland in the lead
among ai' ars in price class from
$500 to i'ao; second among all
cars iriccH from SOC TO $4,000; and
third among all six cylinder ears,
regardless Of price class.
The 100 improvements ON the new
Oakland including the Harmonic
balanccr, oil filter. air cleaner and
the new prices frob so TO $3.50
lower are factors, which, according
to the dealers account for the un-
usual sales records.

AGITATION GROWS
AGAINST MILITARY
SCHOOL TRAINING

Compulsory mili.acy training in
schools and colleges has forced it.
self forward as an issue in widely
scattered educational institutions of
the country.
The action of the faculty of the
city college of New York in voting
to retain military training as part
Of the school curriculum after vehe-
ment agitation against it by see
tions of the student body, has drawn
attention to similar movements in
various colleges.
AT the University of California,
Berkeley, Cal, one student has
been dismissed from college be-
cause of refusal to drill For sew
cral davs there was a wave of
agitation but reports today indicat-
ed it had somewhat subsidsd.
At the University of Missouri
referendum movement against mill
tary training, recently started. has
been answered by announcement
from the faculty that training
would continue regardless of how
the vote resulted.
Ohio state university students
Will vote next month for second
time on the subject. The first
referendum short time ago indi-
Gated sentiment prevailed against
military training.
At the University Of Wisconsin,
an act of the legislature has made
military training optional instead
compulsory.
At the University of Nebraska
and University of Minnesota, where
last year there was opposition, no
protests have been made this year.
Opponents of military training in
schools charge it is being made
compulsory and is conducted by of
ficers of the army. assigned by the
war department. as substitute for
universal military training.

TO START FINAL
REHEARSALS FOR
ELKS XMAS SHOW

OF tickets for the big Elks Revue,
there is going to be a large crowd

stantial sum for the Elks Christmas

Nebel-Thau is in San Diego at
present, arranging for costumes for
the chorus. Special stage settings
are required for most of the acts,
and these are being built so that
there will be no delay on the night
of the opening.

have attended the high class pro-
ductions given by the local Elks in
fcrmer years are planning to take
