A careful observer noted that

last pair of garters had worn out
and that he hadn't since been
able to get any :"
Our go-between understood that
the senator hadn't heen able TO

HIS PHILOSOPHY

In one of the infant classes of a
certain large school the teacher had
noticed that a great friendship existed
between John and little Joan, two OF
her pupils
John was bright youngster, but
he wasn't disposed to work overheard,
and his teacher had said that, unless
he worked harder, he would not be
moved up at the end of the year.
"You must try harder" she told
him, or you won't pass. And if you
have to stay here another term you'll
lose little Joan. How'd you like
that?"
"Oh," replied John blandly, 81
'spect there'll be other little Joans. -

BEAU CESTE"
OF INTEREST TO
VALLEY PEOPLE

Of special interest to FL Centrans
is the mammoth super-special Para
mount film, 4" Beau Gcstc,' which
is coming to the Palace theater for
a two-day engagement on Friday
and Saturday Of this week. A great
er portion or the scenes Of this pro
duction were taken in the sand hills
between HoltvilIe and Yuma, where
Paramount officials, with Herbert
Brenon as director, erected model
camp city III the middle Of the des-
ert'wastes to accommodate the prlncl-
pals and thousands Of extras en-
ployed in the making Of the film.
Ronald Colman, the young Eng
lishman who has risen to such phc-
nomenal popularity under the ban
ner of Samuel Goldwyn, plays tn"
title role, and according to press
notices throughout the country, has
materially added to his laurcls
through his portrayal. " Beau
Geste is famed as a man ) y
story, rs the love interest in the
plot is secondary to the impressive
theme Of man : hates and loves
for other men, enacted with the
thrilling background Of the Foreign
Legion stationed i'll the desert
wastes of northern Africa.
OF the supporting cast, the color
full performances of Noah Beery
and William Powell have been es-
specially praised by leading critics
Of the cinema throughout the pie
ture world. The picture boasts the
added attraction of Il symphony or
chcstra, which plays a special or
chcstral score composed especially
for this production by DR.. Hugo
Ritesenfeld. The fact that many of
the shots were filmed in such close
proximity te this city, in addition to
the forceful story, the direction of
Herbert Brcnon, unusual cast and
special music provided with this at
traction, should make it an event
for picture followers in FL Centre.
Reserved seats for this film are now
on sale ut the Valley Drug store.

SAN DIECO-YUMA
PAVING WILL BE-
STRONGLY URGED

Construction of a complete svs-
tenn of paving from San Diego to
Yuma in the immediate future, will
be requested by delegation of
prominent San Dicgans including
Mayor Bacon, Louis NJ. Marie, vice
president of the city council and
other well known residents of that
city, that will appear before the
highway commission in Sacramento
tomorrow.
The construction of this 70-mile
strip Of pavement would be of
great value TO FL Centro, as it
would no doubt divert a greater
portion of west and east bound
tourist traffic through this citv.
The motion to send the San Diego
delegation to appear before the
commission was placed before the
San Diego council yesterday, and
was carried by n unanimous vote.
The action was hurried by the re-
ccipt of n letter from f. Forrest
Mitchell, secretary of the state
highway commission. which stated
that the matter of the paving would
come before the commission tomor-
row.
The board Of trustees of Imperial
have also passed Il resolution strcS-
sing the necessity for completing
the 70-mic unpovcd stretch and
asking aid from state authorities to
hurry the project.
