Worthington Says
Frigidaire Saved
Democratic Lives

Dependahihty of automatic re-
frigcration even under the most ad.
verse circumstances was brought to
public attention by the wonderful
manner in which Frigidaire equip
ped water coolers functioned dur
ing the Democratic national conven-
tion at Houston, Texas, according
to Tom Worthington, local Frigid-
aire dealer.
" During the sessions long lines of
visitors were frequently waiting
their turns to drink from the cool
crs, said Worthington. "The city
water was very warm when it en-
tered the coolers, close to 50 de-
greeS, in fact. The temperature in
side Sam Houston hall was even
higher. Despite these handicaps
the convention drinking water was
cold all the time.
"There were IS Frigidaire equip
ped coolers on the convention floor
and two ON the platform. The two
on the platform were for the use of
speakers and broadcasters only. AS
a result Is coolers had the tremen-
dous task of supplying 10000 hot
and thirsty people with cold water
under the most adverse conditions.
"lt was probably the severest
test ever given this type of equip
ment, but the coolers did the job
in fine style and won the praise of
almost everyone who attended the
convention.
According to Worthington, the re
frigcrating equipment used in the
water coolers is of the same general
type as that used in Frigidaire
household refriserators. He says
that the woman with a Frigidaire in
her kitchen can be assured of the
same dependability and positive re-
frigeration as that which character
lied the faultless operation of the
convention water coolers.

NAVY OFFICERS
| SEEK TO SOLVE
SPENCER CASE

Mystery still surrounds the ease
of Warren j. Spencer, enlisted man
of North Island, who was rushed to
the Naval hospital in San Diego by
plane Thursday morning, uncon-
sciOus.
An investigation was conducted
here yesterday by Lieuts. n. NJ
Maple Jr., and +. A. Cruise Of the
naval air force. The two officers ar
rived at Imperial airport yesterday
morning by plane and accompanied
by Chief Oswalt they made tour
of the valley and interview several
persons here including DR.. l.. c.
House, DR.. {. S. Brooks and w. f.
Burgard, proprietor of the FL Dor
ado hotel
The officers came to the valley
seeking to trace down Il theory that
the sailor had been poisoned or
given Knockout drops. They further
sought to find out whether or not
Spencer had arrived here in an auto
mobile.
In the investigations conducted
limitations were found that Spencer
had rented Star coupe and started
for the valley in it. When he ar
rived here he was in Il somewhat
dazcd condition and had apparently
been doing some drinking although
it was not definitely settled whether
or not his condition was due to i'm
bibing too freely or from some other
cause.
1t is believed that Spencer fig
ured in an automobile accident on
his way to the valley. He had cut
en- his knee and his nostrils showed
that he had been bleeding from the
head when he arrived here, accord
ing to the Burgard S story.
Eurgard told of helping Spencer
AS much as possible after he arrived
at the hotel. The physicians told
of his condition during the time they
attended him and of his finally be-
ing sent to the hospital.
Spencer is still unconscious. He
has been in this state now for five
days and while still alive authorities
at the hospital have expressed
grave doubts as to his chance for
recovery.
Investigation here is being con,
tinued by Chief Oswalt. Amy infor,
mation relative to the coupe or the
accident should be given to the
police.

to be shown first at West Coast

include "Street Angel in which

West Coast Theaters also will
have first call ON productions made
by Warner Brothers, First National
Pictures and Pathe.
Franklin said that a tremendous
interest is being shown by the lead
ing producers in sound motion pie
lures.
"It may be truly eXpectcd,' he
said, "that the industry will benc-
fit greatly because of the wider
scope of expression made possible
because Of the devices that have
recently been developed by the in
dustrv in association with the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph com
pany. and the Radio Corporation of
America.
"Such synchronizcd devices
known as 'Movietone,' .Vitaphone'
and 'photophone' bring to the silent
theater a voice without limitation.
The finest symphony orchestras can
be shown and heard in every motion
picture theater. 1t may be expected
that writer's of genius will saddle
the possibilities of this new mode
of expression and that talent to be
developed will be limited to those
who photograph we'll alone. The

acting will be emphasized through
the tone shades Of expression.
IAN this will bring about revolu
tionary changes in the methods of
making motion pictures. Most mo
tion pictures will be created from
carefully prepared manuscripts and
not 'shot in accordance with the
mood Of the director-which is now
the rule. 1t may be expected that
finer technique will be developed
that will embrace the best features
Of the stage as well as motion pic
lures, and because Of these posi-
bilitics the motion picture will take

West Coast theaters have been
mindful of this development and
have quietly been installing the
best sound devices in its important
