ignored the remark.
The studio manager continued:

"And naturally that lets me
out" Dan finished for him, deter
mined that Adamson should not
have a chance to be insulting. Il
haven't changed my mind about
not wanting to work for you. My
contract was the only thing that
kept me here"
The others smile was unpleasant.
We'll, it won't keep you any longer.
You're through-right away" His
voice rose gratingly. The interview
had not been as gratifying as he
had expected.
Dan got up. THAT suits me fine, -
he said. "Goodby"
But Adamson did not answer him,
and Dan grinned at him and left.

Paul had expected some such an
swer. He thought he knew Dan
pretty well-knew he was not one to
ask favor Of a friend, or pin him
down to a casual promise. And Paul
grumbled a bit and swore at him,
but he ended up by grinning and
taking an affectionate punch at
him.
Later that evening Dan drove out
to the bungalow and Anne Winter
was greatly concerned at his news.
What will you do now, DAMP"
He smiled into her troubled eyes.

teaSed, and she shook her head in
impatient protest at his banter.
What are you going to do?" she
repeated.
'Oh, I don't know. Keep trying,

Anne said quickly, ooh, I hope

She was half-angry at the ques-
ton. Now, you're being schoolboy-

her cheeks. You know better than
to ask that"
GO Dan said he was sorry. "Ques-
- tons withdrawn" And he spoke
conciliatingly and changed the sub
ject, talked of interesting things he
had done on his trip north.
Mona and Eva came in while they
were talking, and Mona Immediately
sat down and demanded to know

And when Dan laughingly in
formed her that he was now "un-

Kong Sal WI One
Smart China Boy

Three times this morning Kong
Sal WI, AZ, parked himself outside
window of the county Jail and
asked in pleading tones to see the
sheriff. Three times officials at the
Jail tried to shoe Sal WI hence, but
to no avaIi, for Jast as soon as their
lacks were turned, back he would
come to his position under the win,
dow and reopen his pleadings, each.
time growing more insistent. Fin
q " in sheer defence Sheriff Gillctt
brought WI inside and asked how
come. X. S. w. then told the follow
ing story: He was from Mexicaai,
broke, no passport, nothing to help
himself along and had great big
yearning in his heart for his home
across the seas. He had heard that
the Jail was often the opening door
to trip back to China, so here he
was, bag and baggage, all prepared
to start out. Needless to say WI
was accommodated, but it will be
necessary for him to spend some
few days here in the county Jail be-
fore immigration officials can ar
range the necessary details to take
the homesick one back to the Celes-
tai kingdom.

CHAMBER SIGNS
POPULAR WITH
LOCAL MEMBERS

Much interest is being shown by
members of the Ell Centre Chansber
of Commerce in the new member
snip transparency signs and many
calls have been made at Chamber
headquarters to obtain these signs
which have been adopted to replace
the metal plate formerly used to
denote membership in the Cham Der.
This type of transparent sign has
tecn adopted by many Chambers Of
Commerce in the past few years, as
they are visible from the street and
i; is a matter of pride among mem
tcrs to have one displayed on office,
store and often residence windows.
The signs are manufactured to
stick to glass and may be used on
windows or on wind shields as they
are small enough to be used on ears
without violation of the new law
acainsa wind shield stickers. The
one which have been adopted for use
by the local Chambers are highly
ornamental, about four inches in di-
ameter, in a blue and white design.
Tine sign reading, "Member Cham
be, of Commerce Ell Centre, Califor-
MIA. The Heart of Imperial Valley.
'America's Winter Garden -
These signs are available for
tvery member of the Chamber with
extra ones for wind shields or resi-
dcnces and may be obtained by call
ing at Chamber headquarters. Those
who do not call will receive theirs
by mail within few days and it is
The hope of the Chamber directors
that they will be prominently dis
played on business windows and that
eventually every store and office
window in the city will be decorated
by one of these membership signs.

'DODCES CHOSEN
BY STATE AFTER
SEVERE TESTS

After a competitive test in which
several well known makes of auto
mobiles took part, the department of
the state motor patrol purchased 10
+ Dodge eight-in-line coupes for pa
troll work throughout the state.
"There were several requirements
which must be met before the car
could be given any consideration by
the state patrol,' explained Earl
Jones, manager of c. A. Gray, local
Dodge distributors
"One of the most important
things to be considered was the abil-
ity of the car to operate at high
speed on the highways during the
times when traffic was at it's peak.
1t is not very difficult to operate
at any speed if the way is cleared
! by a siren, so in this feat, the car
had to be driven without this aid.
at was believed that a real test
of cars roadability and ease of
handling as well as the control the
driver had over it, could be obtain
ed in this test.
"The ears competing were taken
out on the highway near Sacramento
and. each was driven a measured 10
miles through the traffic at the best
speed it could maintain. The speed
would of course, be regulated by the
ability of the driver to handle his
/ car in traffic.
"The test was to be made in two
-
wind, and return 10 miles against
the wind. An average of the two
runs was taken and the car graded
on that average.
son the run with the wind the
Dodge eight-in-line averaged 81
miles an hour for the 10 miles. Com
! ing back against stiff wind, the
average for the 10 miles was II
miles per hour, for an average both
ways of 77.5 miles per hour.
! "These times were not taken from
the speedometers of the cars com
pcting, but were the results of stop
watch timing, and motorcycle Off
GERS following the car remarked that
the Dodge time was aided materially
, by the flexibility of the motor and
the ease with which it threaded its
way through the traffic.
"But what we were most interest
ed in was the fact that Dodge per-
! formance was so much better than
the other competing ears that the
order was placed for the 10 Dodges
and they have been put to patroll-
ing the roads all over the state"
Plans have been completed for a
$l50,000 grammar school building at
'Alturas, Modoc County.
