department equipment.
There was 1870 feet of new sew.
er main laid at cost of approx
mately $3.50.
The year also saw completion of
the new ornamental street lighting
system on Main street, which was
placed in, commission early in the
year.
Additional paving in the north
western and western parts of the
city were authorized during the
year and work will start on this pro-
ject in a short time.
There were no disastrous fires or
other tragedies during the year, the
destruction of t h. e Arrowhead
Creamery plant last week and the
freight depot in the early part of
the summer, being the two largest
fires.
Despite the severe earthquakes
which rocked the city on the first
day of the year, El Centre escaped
without any material loss, the dam
age being confined to a few broken
windows and numerous cracks in
buildings.
Another progressive step recorded
during the year was the completion
of the plant of the Inland Empirc
Gas Company which is now supply
ing gas to FL Centre homes and
business houses. Eventually the
company will furnish gas to other
valley cities.
Merchants of the city have like
wise shown faith in the general be-
lief that FL Centre will continue TO
prosper with many improvements in
business quarters recorded. during
the wear.
The merchants located between
Fifth and Sixth streets, on main
street, have been particularly active
in this resnect. In taking over the
Narnev building, M. O. King made
extensive alterations inside as well
as to add new store front and
arcade to the building.
Edgar Brothers and Salomons al
so put in new store fronts and ar
cades at their respective places of
business while Clements drug store
extended its quarters and another
Main street building is now under
alteration to become the home of a

Incidentally the Imperial Valley
Press has moved into its new home
on State street during the year.

WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
BY MEHRAN K. THOMSON.

Technically the phenomenon Of See
ing things" is called an hallucination.
II We waken in the night and hear a
noise which We interpret as caused by
q burglar we have gone through a
number of mental processes. In so far
as We merely experience a sound, it Is q
sensation. Our Interpretation of what
We hear as caused by burglar Is called
perception. But if upon investigation
We find that the noise was caused by q
cat and not by burglar. as We sup
posed, then We have experienced an IL
luSion which Is uisinterpretation Of a
sensory experience And If 1t can be
proved that there was not even q noise.
that no one else in the house heard it
and we only thought We heard 1t, then
We were the victims of an hallucina-
ton. We were hearing things"
Thus one may hear things. see things,
taste. touch or experience things with
out any real cause or stimulus in the
outside world. Hallucination may Oc-
cur In any Sensory experience.
The fear or wish idea often acts as a
suggestion In seeing things. This Sug-
gestion may come from within or from
without
Large crowds are often deceived in
this way through the force of sugges-
ton or of intense fear or great desire
and longing. This accounts for the IecS

cannot appear at all If 1t isn't of general
interest. And even though 1t is of gen.

similar question have to omit 1t this
time. ] have enough letters In one mail
to furnish material for the column for
a year, really, so that you can see how
impossible 1t IS for all OF you to be
answered.
Here are E.'s questions and answers
/. Can you give the name of a reli-
able hair dye? What Is your opinion in
regard to the use of hair dyeS?"
AnsWer~-No, E., I cannot give you
names Of hair dyes. My opinion in re-
gard to their use, except in cases where
the gray hair is detriment to obtaining
position, Is that they should not be
used. You cannot know II they contain
harmful ingredients or not. Gray hair
is not necessarily a sign Of age. and
oftentimes 1t is a great beautifier, soft
ening the expression and lines.
2. "Will you name a good doctor
book?"
Answer-We have a list of books on
tuberculosis, list on general dieteticS.
a list on diabetes. list on children, any
one Of which you may secure by sending
a Self-addressed, stamped envelope and
2 cents in coin to help cover cost Of

3. How can / prevent falling of the
hair during pregnancy"
Answer-Proper prenatal care as to
