Local Fire Loss
Reduced by Half

Ell Centro's fire losses were cut
practically in half last year as
against those of a year previous.
The total property loss for 1927 was
placed at $4,000 as against approx
imately 100000 for the 1926 per-
iod.
Chief Tom Reams came near set
tling an all time record for the de-
partment in his first year at the
helm but the fire breaking out i'll
the Arrowhead Creamery on Christ
mas day with damage of about
$4,000 boosted the year total too
much to make it the banner year.
Of the $4,000 estimated loss, it
is believed that approximately S32,-
600 was recovered by the owners in
insurance. There were 50 fire calls
turned in as against 90 for the
previous year.
The summary reads as follows:
Gasoline and coal oil stove fires, II;
automobile fires, 3; electrical
fires, s; miscellaneous fire. 2S; false
alarms c .amoun. of hose used,
$3.50 feet; soda and chemicals used,
320 gallons; Foamite extinguishers
used, IA. Average number of men
Answering calls, 15.2.

Woman Driver
Consoles Self

A colored woman approached the
main highway near neber last
night. She stopped some distance
from the roadline as sort of obed-
fence to the Boulevard Stop
sign, then made a Decline for the
highway in an effort to get her ma
chine over a mud hole. The ear
cleared the mudhole but by the
time she had reached the highway
a car driven by japanese had ar.
rived on the scene and the colored
woman's car crashed into it.
The colored woman's ear came out
second best in the crash, being half
removed from its chassis and the
front of the car hitting the pave
ment and bouncing about like a
Thanksgiving turk after the oper'
alton on its neck has been per
formed. The colored woman was
willing enough to square Things and
as she turned to 90 declared:

Increase Shown
In Police Fines

4 total of llSS arrests were made
by city police during the year Of
1927. The total receipts taken in
at headquarters fer the year being
<30,929.30. This compares favora-
bly, with the total of 500, 1865 for
the year of 1926.
The figures for the two years are
IS follows: General fines-1927 to-
tai $1S,595.30. 1926 total-$16,-
554.65. Occupation taxes, 1927 to.
tai: S11,312. 1926 total: 81 ,654
Log taxes: 1927 total $1022. 1926
total 1888.
This shows a slight drop this year
i'll occupation taxes and slight in
crease in dog taxes. The increase
cor the total collections comes al

Legion Auxiliary
Assists Needy

Holiday work of the American
Legion Auxiliary was completed
this weekend with the making of
a layette and garments for the wife
of an ex-service man whose husband
is in the county hospital at present,
as result of injuries received in
an automobile accident. Other hol-
idav work done by the auxiliary in
cluded the sending of "a boxes to
a nurses home at San Fernando,
and the distribution of Christmas
gifts to the families of two ex-
servicemen here.
The worthy work which the aux
iliary has been carrying on has
been made possible by the liberal
patronage of its Advertisers Dim
ner earlier in the season by the
public.
The auxiliary is planning to con
tinue its work for the family of
the injured x-scrvieeman, who is
Mexican but holds discharge papers
showing an excellent record of ser
vice for the United States in the
World War. This man and his
family of a wife and four children
came to Imperial Valley about six
weeks ago. While on the way to a
ranch near Brawley where the father
had been promised employment, the
automobile which was the property
Of the Mexican in question, was run
into by a drunken driver of another
machine. The father was taken to
the hospital with two others who
were seriously injured, and since
that time the probation office and
the auxiliary have been helping the
family, which was left without
means of support while the father
is incapacitated.
Nourishing food for the mother,
in addition to the necessities furn-
ished by the county, bedding and
little Christmas gifts for the child
rem are among the auxiliary's other
contributions.

majority of Kansas City ministers
favor the supreme penalty for Ed

"An eye for an eye" was the
prevailing attitude of the ministry
although the Rev. l.. NJ. Birkhead
told his congregation Hickman
should be studied scientifically.
Birkhead said it is obvious that
Hickman is not normal and said
that "his whole history should be
scrutinized by experts.''

Lettering in Hallway Out
side Courtroom Easy
Way to Go to Jail.

ONE of the easiest ways to
~ spend a few days in jail dur
ing cold weather, is to go to the
fourth floor of the courthouse and
lounge and loaf in the hallway
outside Of Municipal Judge Dan
V. Whites and Thomas E. Gar
wins courts.
It's sure-flre trip and since
contempt is. to a degree, up to
discretion Of the court perhaps
the offender will be able to get
food, warmth and sleeping quar-
tiers for weeks rather than days.
For in the hallway in oold black
letters is the warning that whose
ever commits this offenSe is liable
to punishment for contempt Of
court. There have been no loafers
in the hall since the sign was
hung.
The courthouse has for years
been choice loafing place during
the winter months. These Of
tenders lounge in any nook or
corner where the temperature is
a few degrees above that on the
exterior. Two grand jurieS have
voiced loud disapproval of the
practice to some avail-but not
much.

were moved to the fourth floor
from the basement and persons
began to sleep on the hallway
steps and courts decided there
should be no more of it-and there
isn't.
