Don't You Want
A Romping Boy
Tn Your Home?

Imperial Valley families of
the right sort, who can offer
good homes to boys ranging
from six years old to 13 years,
can have the pick of a dozen
youngsters who are now in the
care of the California Children S
Home Society at Los Angeles.
A representative of the or
ganization was in this valley
recently to investigate the pos
sibiities of placing some of
the boys here, andN hopes to be
able to find homes for at least
4 portion of them.
For some strange reason.
there seems to be a hesitancy
on the part of folks to adopt
boys of this age. Boys of
younger ages, and girls of al
most any age, are comparatively
easy to place. it is said, but
evidently those who can afford
to give a home to the Older boys,
hesitate to 30 So.
Possibly, the society's $ rep
resentative SAYS, this is be-
cause boys in the growing ages
are believed to be difficult to
handle. This is not necessarily
true, however, and this parti-
oular group of boys is said to be
exceptionally well behaved, in
good health, and Of respectable
families.
Anyone in the valley who is in
tcrested in giving a home to a
youngstcr can get in touch with
the California Children 5 Home
Society at 91s East 25th Street,

LARWILL, Ind, July 21.-
Bank robbers renewed their ac-
tivities in northern Indiana
early today with a successful
raid on the Larwill State bank.
Blowing the bank safe with four
heavy charges Of nitroglycerin, the
robbers escaped with cash estimated
at $1,000.
The rumble of freight trains on
the Pennsylvania Railroad aided the
bandits in escaping detection. Few
citizens heard the explosions and
most of those who did thought the
noise was from trains.
Witness Is Guarded
Ed Rice, hotel owner living across
the street from the bank, was
aroused by the first explosion. He
peeped from behind the curtains Of
the hotel lobby and watched the
bandits at work.
A tall, unmasked man armed with
a shotgun paced up and down the
street In front of the bank, keeping
guard while his confederates worked
inside, Rice said.
Rice said the guard sighted him
and warned him he would be shot il
he attempted to spread the alarm
and kept watch on him until the
work was done.
Bandits Deliberate
The bandits worked deliberately,
being in the bank for nearly an
hour and half. The heavy charges
Of explosives blew out the doors in
the front and rear of the building
and wrecked the office furniture.
Small coins were found scattered
over the floor of the bank and sew
eral hundred dollars in gold hidden
in the vault was overlooked.

Rush said he thought there were
ficials believed there were more.
The direction of their flight was
not Known.
Police officials Of Ft. Wayne,

notified and began search for the
men.

ton, is ten miles northwest Of
