MEMP HIS DRAWS.
MUCH INTEREST

Interest in the Broadway Of
America movement, its motor
cades originating in New York City
and San Diego and its climaxing
in "Better Roads, convention in
Memphis, Tenn, is increasing daily
as the time for the big event nears.
Latest advices from San Diego
where the movement is being spon-
sored through Col. Ed Fletcher are
to the effect that good represen.
tation from the coast cities and
county will be in the procession
which is scheduled to reach FL Cen
tro on the afternoon of April II. He
urges the valley to cooperate by
putting at least II cars into the
motOrcade.
The motorcade will leave here on
April y and it is expected that sew
eral valley ears will join the pro,
cession. Thus far two are assur-
red, Calexico sending one machine
with Mayor A. J. MERCER, Chief
of Police Louis Manss and Leo
Watts making the trip. The I'll
Centre chamber will send n ear but
as vet it has not been determined
who will make the trip.
1t is hoped that the motorcade
from the west will have at least
1000 ears in the procession when
it arrives in Memphis.
The convention there is schedul-
ed to get under way on April Il
and will continue through two days.
The Broadway of America route
is practically SO per cent pave
ment and extends from Broadway

Family Row Ends
In Armed Peace

John Rama, 25, of El Centre and
Mrs. Antonia Flores, 81, of FL Cen
tro entered pleas of guilty to charges
Of vagrancy when arraigned before
Judge Perkins in city court this
morning. The arrest was made last
night by city police after the hus-
band of the woman had complained
to the police and a visit to the house
was made
A near tangle resulted after the
fines had been paid, the woman issu-
ing a threat against the husband,
who in turn warned her that here
after she was not to have any more
men in their house. A peculiar
point in the affair was the fact that
the husband went out and raised
The money for Rama s release while
woman returned with the cash
necessary to gain Mrs. Flores re-
lease.
That all was not peace in the
family was evidenced when the
husband and Rama left the court
room by the rear door while the two
women made their exit by way of
the front door.
