BEGINNING OF MOTION
PICTURES

Besides leading in modern motion
picture industry, California was the
home of the earliest attempt in the
| art. To solve a discussion as to
whether a trOtting horse ever has
al! four feet off the ground at once,
Leland Stanford employed Fad
weard Muybridge, an expert photog
rapher, to experiment on his stock
farm at Palo Alto. June IS, 1873,
| after four years of effort, Muv-
bridge met with success. 4 series
of cameras were set up, threads at
tached to the shutters and strung
across the track. Then a horse
trotted down the track, swapping
the threads and clicking the Gamer
as. These pictures placed on a
spinning wheel constituted the
first "movies" and proved a trot-
ting horse has, at certain moments,
all feet off the ground.

Ell CENTRIC WILL
GET PUBLICITY IN
HIGHWAY ARTICLE

R. Ellis Wales, representing the
San Diego chamber of commerce
and his own organization in Los An
geles, was in this city today in the
course of special highway and
community survey between San Di-
ego and Ell Paso, for national pub
licity, in which Ell Centre will be
featured, he states.
"There is nothing more beauti-
full said Wales, ethan the en-
trance to Imperial valley and Ell
Centro, down the long straight
boulevard from the mountain grade,
over territory made famous by
the old pioneers and brought into
romance by Wright in his story of
! Barbara WHoth. This great recla-
nation project showing the immense
expanse of agricultural and horti'
cultural abundance, with G50,000
acres under cultivation, thrills the
soul. Stronger than ever is the de-
served need for Boulder canyon
dam. Imperial valley not only needs
this aid from the great river, but
unqualifidely deserves the aid. If
the obstructionists of the U. S. Sen
ate could view the work already ac
| complished here there would be nc
question of the bill passing, in spite
of politics. -

San Diego chamber of commerce in
employing Webster G. Reed as a
special highway tourist representa-

HIGH AVERAGE IS
MADE BY UNION
ETHYL GASOLINE

Averaging better than 81 miles to
the gallon of gasoline, Lee Cathey
of Ell Centre, California recently
completed 100-hour drive during
which he drove through Jacumba,
Calexico, Mexicali, Holtville, Braw-
ley, Calipatria, Westmorland and
Ell Centre, Imperial Valley towns.
Cathey used a stock Chevrolet
car fuelled with Union Ethyl gaso-
line, the new super fuel, in hanging
UP this remarkable high mileage.
During the run, Cathey drove l2l7
miles. He used "A gallons of gaso-
line, one-half pint of Aristo motor
oil and one quart of water. For a
considerable portion of the test, the
car was run in low and intermedl-
ate gears and sometimes in reverse.
This slow and reverse driving was
occasioned by being at times caught
in traffic jams in the cities through
which he drove.
The run is said to have attracted
considerable favorable attention
from motorists in the Imperial Val
ley towns. Roy Womack, Chevro-
let distributor at FL Centre is quot
ed as stating that considering the
conditions under which the run was
made, the mileage secured from
Union Ethyl was exceptionally high.
Prior to the start of the run he gave
it as his opinion that % miles to
the gallon would be the maximum
that could be expected.

Ramsey said the excursion has
been given considerable publicity in
the coast papers and that numerous
inquiries have been received by the
road as result. The advance res
ervations indicate a record list of
passengers. Pictures taken in and
about the valley and several of
Carisso Gorge have been printed in
connection with this publicity. The
coast papers have also published the
program for the entertainment of
the passengers as arranged by the

WestcOtt to Get
Life Sentence
BY United Prest Leased WIZ

Los ANGELES, March 3.-Carl
Westcott, scion of a wealthy Min
neapolis family, will be sentenced
to life imprisonment Saturday for
the murder of his father, Charles
G.. Westcott.
A verdict of guilty of first de-
gree murder with Recommendation
for life Imprisonment was returned
by jury of eight women and four
men, following almost five hours of
deliberation, last night.
The state, in asking the death
penalty, contended that Young
Westcott shot his father on the
right of October 20, 1926, as the
elimination of series of quarrels
over the 100000 estate possessed
by the elder Westcott.
Attorneys for Westcott indicated
they would file an appeal for a new
trial.
