furniture of the French empire
period, Foch returns home, where
he spends the majority of his eve
nings, surrounded by his wife, his
two daughters, his son-in-law, CsEt.
Tournier, and his grandchildren.
The marshal from time to time plays
billiards, at which he excels.
Foch's home, near the Place oes
Invalides, is an old mansion which
the French government put at the
marshal's disposal. In Foch's pri-
vate Office library at home one sees
his desk charged with papers, but
kept in the greatest order.
On the walls there are portraits
of the great Napoleon, the kings Of
England and Belgium, Marshal
Douglas Haig, the marshal's loyal
friend, General Weygand, his mar
shal's baton, carrying his name and
the inscription, Gloria Belli Decus
Pacis' There are sabers, one of a
German prince killed during the
war, helmets, ETC., relics of the
world conflict and wars of other
days.
In this den one sees also a ia
nous clock of the Louis XVI period.
This clock formerly was in the city
hall of Cassel, where during the bat
tie of the User Foch feverishly con-
suited the all toe slow progress of
its hands. The marshal's scores of
decorations are found in an old can
die box STORED away in safe in his
den.

JUNGLE TUNES \
TO Be FEATURp
Negro Baptists to Sing at

DENVER, Colo, Sept. Jungle
tunes which had their origin hun
dreels of years ago in the Congo will
be heard in Denver for one week
beginning today when thousands Of
negro Baptists, delegates to the
Baptist convention here, contribute
their negro spirituals to the con-
vention program.
While leaders in the Baptist
church consider matters ranging
from baptism to architecture,
great negro choir will interest song
writer's from various parts of the
country, here that they may set
down strange negro music that has
been heard by few people outside
the native baunts of the negroes.
Many of these tunes, in reality mere
scraps of fervent rhythm, we're
brought to the southern states years
ago by slaves imported from Africa.
AS the years rolled by, the songs
we're modified. A bit of stridency
was eliminated. A little more
melody was introduced. Finally the
songs of the African natives evolved
without conscious effort on the part
of any one into musical gems which
are said by many critics to be the
most deeply religious church music
ever sung.
At the convention here, music a
most of these songs will be written
on paper for the first time.

Until noon, when he is not oc-

After lunch, the marshal is back

PARIS, Sept. when he is at
Paris, Marshal Foch leads an active
life as president of the Allied Mill
tary Committee of Versailles, the
organization which controlled the
disarmament Of Germany, until the
recent transfer of that question to
the League of Nations.
Foch rises at an early hour, and
about 8 o'clock goes to his head
quarters, Boulevard Des Invalides.
He Immediately goes into confer
ence with his chief of staff, General
Barattier and then goes over the
pile of letters that is found every
morning on his desk
AS in the case of the mail of all
world figures, Foch's letters contain
many curious requests. Most num-
erous are the simple requests for
autographs. There are many let
tiers from women. One Of these
ladies asked Foch to pin the Sacred
Heart on the French flag. One enc
terprising American business man
asked Foch for authorization to
parade the former Kaiser in an iron
cage across the United States.
Presides at Ceremonies
After he has finished his mail,
Foch turns to the morning news
papers to acquaint himself with a1e
news of the world. He carefully
reads the news, and at times he
shrugs his shoulders with q move
ment Of displeasure when he re-
marks published error concern
ing his own work.
Foch has a thorough contempt for
all forms of praise.

Local Judge to
Aid Light Drive

Judge Kendall b. Perkins of the
local police court is waging war
against Illegal headlights in coope-
ration with the California Public
Safety Conference.
Judge Perkins says the chief rea-
son given him is Il didn't know
my lights were bad The judge
says, however, that it is so easy to
obtain test of motor vehicle head
lights that this excuse does not car
ry much weight with him.
With respect to drivers who opc.
rate with only one headlight burn
ing when two are required, Judge
Perkins is especially mrelenting.
He points out that one spotlight
and one headlight do not comply
with the legal requirements. Warn
ing is given to all motorists of what
they may expect in the judge s
court if they are caught with i'm
proper or inadequate headlight
equipment.

to the chamber for the work it has
done in the past, and urged that 1t
be given the cooperation it deserves.
New industries for Fl Centre are
desired, = he said, and for this
reason the chamber has recently ap-
pointed a committee to investigate
the possibility of inducing firms to
locate here. Only industries that
can be successful here, are desired
and it appears that only those which
can use the products of the soil are
likely to succeed here
Needs More Members
c. w. Remele, of the Imperial
Valley Credit Association. explained
the need for a larger membership in
the chamber, and outlined a plan
for sliding scale Of dues. He
stated the membership of the cham
bei' is much smaller than it should
be for community of $50 per
sons, these figures being based on
reliable statistics. The directors
give much of their time to the work
of the chamber, he said and should
have the united support of the mem
bership. " Every believer in FL Cen
trO should be a member of the cham
Der of commerce. he declared.
NJ. Marcot was given an opportun-
itv to explain the need of aid for
Flora Hernandez, who is in a SAM
torium recovering her health. and
for whom n benefit dance will be
given on October 80. The chamber
pledged its support in the matter.
John Canton, of the Imperial
Valley Academy of Music, sang sew
cral numbers during the meeting.
Were it not for the fact that bust
ness demanded attention, those who
were present would undoubtedly
have kept him singing for the re-
mainder of the night. He was warm
~ applauded and appeared to enjoy
singing for the chamber as much as
his audience enjoyed his singing.
Mrs. Canton was his accompanist.
A trio composed Of Percie Thack-
err, Ray johnson and Vern De Tar
sang Doug Decide s FL Centre song,
with Doug at the piano. The audi
ence joined in the chorus and liked
the song. AS remarked in these
columns before it is a mighty catchy
tune and everyone in the city should
learn it, 1t has the famous Sin San
Diego" song beaten a mile, being
much easier to sing.

How best
can | trade in
my present car
for a new car -
Ik1HEN you are ready to trade in
w your present car for new car, you
naturally want full value for your pres
ent' car. But most of all you want full
new car value.
1t will therefore pay you to consider
varying trade-in allowance offers in the
light of these basic facts:
I Your present car has only one funda-
Il mental basis Of value: e., what the
dealer who accepts it in trade can get for
it in the used car market
, Your present car has seemingly
~ different values because competitive
dealers are bidding to sell you new car
= The largest allowance offered is not
- necessarily the best deal for you.
- Sometimes it is; sometimes it is not ~
4 An excessive allowance may mean i
j that you are paying an excessive
price for the new car in comparison with
its real value. /
= First judge the merits Of the new car i
- in comparison with it's price, includ-
ing all delivery and finance charges. .
Then weigh any difference in allowance
offered on your present car.
Z Remember that you are making a
" purchase-not a sale. You are buy
ing a new car and simply using your
present car as a credit against the new
cars purchase price.
