URGES CITIZENS
TO CLEAN WEED
PEST OFF LAWNS

Puneture vine, against which a
campaign is being waged by the
state Of California, and Imperial
county, exists not only in the coun-
try, but is to be seen on many lawns
in Ell Centro according to a resident
Of the country district just west of
FL Centre, who visited the chamber
Of commerce this morning.
This citizen told Secretary Car
michael that he had made short
tour Of the city and was surprised
to find puncture vine present in so
many places.
1.-THE weed exists in the country,
and efforts are being made to Grad
icate it through the work of the
horticultural commissioner of
fice,' the rancher said, "but ap-
parently nothing is being done about
its presence in the city. To nv
mind, all those who own automo-
bilcs, should be interested in Grad
icating this pest, as it ruins auto
mobile tires by piercing the outer
coating of rubber and rotting the
fabric. There is plenty of puncture
vine all over the city, and l should
think property owners would clean
up their own places while the county
IS taking care of the rural sections. -

new ASSOCIATION
PRESSES FEDERAL
help FOR ROADS

With the continuance of the Fed
eral aid policy in the financing Of
highway construction as its prin-
cipal object, the organization of a
Western Road association of repre-
sentative citizens and interests from
every element of the road building
industry is announced as major
achievement of the Western
Road show, held last week in San
Francisco.
To embrace in a huge membership
motor car owners and operators,
road builders, contractors, engineers,
material and equipment dealers and
others interested in road develop
ment, the Western Road association
plans to initiate an extensive and
dignified campaign for the continu
ance of liberal and adequate federal
aid in the far west, and to combat
the aggressive efforts emanating
principally from formidable inter
ests in the east to defeat further
federal aid appropriations.
Carl E. McStay, field secretary
Of the Automobile Club Of Southern
California, was elected president Of
the association, which also chose
Harvey NJ. Toy, chairman California
highway commission, as vice presi-
dent, and ?. H. Curtis, business man
ager of Western Highways Builder,
and executive secretary of the West
ern Construction Equipment distrib-
utors, as secretary and treasurer.
Others officers of an executive
committee of seven members elected
by the organizers Of the association
include Preston G.. Peterson, chair
man Utah state highway commits
sion; Howard NJ. Holmes, state
highway engineer of Montana, and
Edward R. Bacon, president Edward
r. Bacon company, and president
Western Construction Equipment
distributors.
All matters Of policy concerning
the association will be formulated
by board of 21 directors, repre-.
senting not only the various states
of the west, but the many and diver
sified elements connected with the
financing, construction, location and
maintenance Of highways such as
engineers and contractors, public
officials and motor vehicle opera
tors, material and equipment dis
tributors and manufacturers.
Realizing that concerted effort
must be made if needed future fed
eral aid appropriations are to be
obtained, the theme Of the meeting
in which the new association was
formed was heartily endorsed by
the many agencies representa-. 1t
was pointed out by the speakers
that the projected plans Of the or
ganization are based on the broad,
unselfish desire to cooperate for the
development Of the II western stat.
es as whole through continuation
of federal aid road construction.

ORIGINAL COLOR
THEME EMBODIED
IN NEW LINCOLN

A unique and original theme in
! color treatment of motor ear coach
work effected by noteworthy Amer
lean body designers on the Lincoln
car chassis promises to be one Of
most impressive features at the an
nual automobile salon in New York
City. The fact that rare American
and tropical birls have furnished
the colors and color combination for
the custom built bodies and trim
mings will carry intriguing appeal
to those who appreciate beautiful
harmony of colors and distinctive
coachwork in motor ear.
Nature has never been cqualled
in creating or combining colors
and it is on birds that she has Law
ished her richest gifts of beauty.
In the effort to capture the secrets
Of nature, the research department
of the Lincoln Motor company CO.
operating with body builders, for
the past year has made an exhaus-
tive study of birds in the collection
Of the American Museum of Nat
ural history. Those in which the
loveliest colorings and color con
trasts are found have been selected
as the foundation for the finishing
Of body types to be exhibited on the
Lincoln chassis.
Extreme care was exercised to
make certain that i'll the specimens
which serve as'' master standards of
color none of the brilliance had
been lost that hqp'~acterizei the
live birds. The delicate plumage
was carefully shielded from strong
light while paint chemists who
caught the spirit of the attempt to
reproduce olive shades,' duplicat-
ed the colors after months of expert
menting.
The results of the research are
interesting. Not only have new
colors been developed, but practi-
cal combinations which have never
before been conceived have been
discovered. Nature, it was found.
had combined colors which man had
never dared associate but so deli
cately had the shades been COM
pounded and proportioned that the
effect, transferred to color panels
is one of warmth and life.
At the New York salon, twelve
body types-the limit set for any
one manufacturer of motor cars by
the salon board of governors-will
be displayed.

Might Have Saved
Shenandoah Lives

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-Some
of the II men killed in the crash OF

have been saved if they had been
equipped with parachutes, Captain

ible expert, told the Shenandoah

Clarke was asked by Major Harry

drought the overweight of the
Shenandoah, into the Mitchell
courtmartial. Clarke denied hav
ing done so and his statement was
proved by research into the court
martial records.
The overweight, Clarke said, had
no effect in causing the crash.
The lack of parachutes, Clarke
said. was due to an order by the
