Mitchell Given
Jail Sentence

Frank Mitchell, who was arrested
last Thursday night by city police
men after car in which ne was al
legged to have stolen and in which he
was riding collided with another car
parked ON Brighton street between
Fifth and Sixth streets. was given
30 days yesterday afternoon by
Judge Mayfield in justice of peace
court. Mitchell was booked for driv-
ing while under the influence of in
toxicating liquor and for stealing an
automobile.
When arraigned before Judge
Mayfield he declared he had been
sick and had got into the wrong car
and that he did not know whose car
he was in at the time of the wreck.
The charge was changed from a
felony to misdemeanor.

fuel, and urged that the chamber of
commerce would err did that body
make any such contribution.
Despite the assurance contained
in vour editorial, it is to be ser
iously doubted if the business men
of FL Centre and Imperial as in
dividuals would have contributed
this necessary money. Our merchants
here are generous and public spirit
ed, but when they make such con-
tributions they want facts, and the
facts in this ease, when presented,
would have made the wisdom or
sueh contribution for the purpose
n matter Of serious doubt. The
average keen-minded business man
might not see the benefits of a mere
hurried descent here, on a trans-con'
tinental race, one of large number
of similar momentary stops, at I
O'Clock ON Monday morning.
The county airport is not a joke.
1t is a fine flying field, and is 50
acknowledged by the aeronautieal
world. With the advance of aviation
the people of Imperial Valley will
have cause to applaud and thank the
men whose foresight provided the
county airport and made possible
this splendid contribution to aero
nauties. The law does not now pro
vide for county custodian of an
airport, but the supervisors are
about to solve the problem OF
maintaining permanent personnel
there. And the occasion to which
YOU allude, when ships landing at
the airport last week were unable
to obtain gas, occurred when there
was a general interruption OF the
electric power service throughout
Imperial Valley, due to heavy
storms. and there was no current
with which to operate the electric
driven pumps of the oil company, q
happening of rare occurrence, ana
one directly due to extreme cendl'
tions of weather.
Many of us feel that the action
of the chamber of commerce IN de
clining to participate in this an
derby saved the wasteful expendl-
ture of public money. | for one am
clad that. when the chamber dl-
rectorate rejected the plan, no one
was foolish enough to canvass Main
street for private contributions. 1t
would appear, in the light of latest
developments, that the action of
the chamber in refusing to touch
the iH-feted project showed wisdom
or good luck. One of the women
made forced descent at Calexico
Another practically fell north OF

SARAH PALFREY
LATEST STAR In
TENNIS CIRCLES

Champion)

WEST SIDE TENNIS COURTS,
Forest Hills, n Y, Aug. 2l. W.H--
The tennis gallery at Forest Hills
has taken to its heart quaint
adorable little New England girl
Sarah Palfrey of Boston, who has
proved beyond doubt that she has
arrived in the upper strata to stay.
She defeated Mrs. Shepherd Bar
ron of England yesterday in three
sets, taking the second at love, put
ting only one bali out of the court
and netting but seven returns. In
spite of the fact that Mrs. Shep-
herd Barron had tried after the
first long 1913 set, and did not get
her customary depth, Sarah S was
none the less a remarkable perfor-
nance.
After the match Sarah was be-
sieged by little boys to autograph
tennis balls. The movie men were
making appointments for pictures
1t is just a beginning. Fortunately
Sarah has fine home influence and
plenty of character to withstand all
the hero worship which is bound to
be heaped upon her, and still remain
unspoiled.
She is exactly the type America
will be proud to have represent hel
in years to come. l seem to be goin.

Slightly uneasy because of the

She expected to resume the flight.

Sensational charges of mismanage-
ment, rebellion, sabotage in con
nection with this race fill the news
papers. May not the chambers di-
reetors be commended, rather thaa
be made the victim of AN Unfair
SIAM for their good Judgment in
rejecting, from the very beginning
of negotiations, and through a
period of nearly two months there
after, a proposition which to them
looked Immediately to be unsound,
ill-advised, uneeonomic and waste

as amply proved by later events,
would have been very unwise.
ROY il. WOMACk,

The Press is glad to be set
straight by Mr.. Womaek on the
reasons why the chamber of com
merce refused to accept the offer
of those managing the Women 5

reasons are logical ones, though
home town loyalty still makes us
believe, if Calexico could do it we
can.
AS to the title of the editorial,

directed to the unfair treatment ac'
corded Calexieo by those in charge
of the derby and was not, as Mr.:
Womack 5 letter infers, any re

We are ready to agree that the

The night was interminable. The
baby was restless. and, when Ann
dozed, she instantly woke to look at
her watch, lest it be feeding time
When the baby cried, no one came to
inquire. A wailing baby within the
walls of the settlement house might
have a dozen explanations, none Of
which would have surprised anybody.

in the blue bassinet was a singularly

The samovar was kissing on the

baby entered the dining room.

Ann. Who's got my paper?"
There's a board meeting at IL, "

suggestions: Would a theater like a

isn't she sweet, Miss Branchett?"
Ann stumbled.

Branchett gruf1y, and the guests
came in.
Mrs. Marcus Maltrevor's taste in dress
was perfect. Tonight she had worn one
Tof her simplest Paris gowns-"Worth
not more than Miss Branchett'S salary
for three months" Ann said expertly
to Binnie. Mrs. Parkhurst, Mrs. Beal
and Miss Pride were more deliberately
gowned in something that cost only a
month of Miss Branchett's salary
apiece, Ann said wickedly. The baby,
with no place to go, lay in It's silk and

Thanks so very much" said Miss
Branchett without expression.
Mr.. Binnie Morris complained that
since the baby came, Ann neglected
him openly.
"One baby at time, Binnie," she ex-
planned.
"I'd even twin with her." Binnie
offered, "but you just cut me off,"
Did you ever take care of baby and
run a settlement house, too?" Ann
asked.

me often enough" said Binnie.

him.
Then he looked hurt and she let him
take the baby out for walk.
She's got no LEASH" he grumbled.
The baby, every one said, ought not
to be there; it was no place for baby:
she ought to be sent somewhere. The
most penetrating search had revealed
no clue to her presence-she had fallen
from heaven and there she was. At the
table every one advised taking her to a
ome-finding association, but Miss Bran
chett said that she never did feel square
about passing the buck-and whenever
she used slang they all kept an i'm

Morley heard this and he looked at
Miss Branchett in an adorin, way that
he had and offered
