AVIATION EXPERT
HIGHLY PRAISES
COUNTY AIRPORT

Much praise has been given the
Imperial County airport and Ell
Centre Chamber of Commerce for
the way in which the airport is
equipped by l.. c. Elliott who has
been in Ell Centre the past few days
in connection with ms work of To-
eating lighted airways, intermedi-
ate fields and beacon lights for the
Southern Transeontinental Airway
between San Diego and Fort Worth.
Elliott stated to Robert Hays,
manager of the FL Centre chamber,
today that So inch, revolving bea
cons will be located about Is miles
apart ON the route to be followed
by the Southern Air Mail planes,
with an emergency landing field al
so lighted, located every 80 miles.
Elliott says that the Imperial Coun
ty Airport will be listed as an in
termediate field. While not on the
most direct route between San Di-
ego and the East, he stated that its
fine equipment of beacon, bound
ary, flood and obstruction lights
makes it irresistible to the depart
ment of commerce.
| In communication received this
morning by Manager Hays from
w. T. Miller, principal airways ex-
tension superintendentant of the
department of comerce, Elliott's
idea of the inclusion of the Imper-
! ial County Airport is confirmed as
/ follows: "The Airways Division is
very pleased to note that Ell Centro
has an adequate and lighted air
port which at present is being com
mercialized. Ell Centre Airport is
considered as one of the airport fa-
cilities on the Southern Transcon-
tinental Airway between San Di-
: ego and Fort Worth"
/ Elliott has no connection with
the establishment of the Southern
Air Mail stops but is aligning the
Southern Transcontinental Airway
which it is presumed the Southern
Air Mail flyers will use. The cham
Der of commerce continues to work

ROBERTS ISSUES STATEMENT
ON CITY'S CENSUS RETURNS

after midnight and went from door
to door rousing the occupants of
each room and demanding that he
be enumerated
Continuing Roberts said. "To-
ward the end of the campaign we
published paid advertising with
coupons, asking those who had not
been enumerated to notify the
chamber of commerce. This brought
only a few responses. We then
made tests of certain blocks in the
city to determine if the enumer-
alton had been complete at that
time and we found that only an
occasional family had been missed,
not enough to affect the total SER
iously
a week ago, when we received
unofficial notice that the returns
of FL Centre would soon be publish
ed we realized that the figures
would probably be much lower than
we expected, and as final pre-
caution we districteG the city, with
the help of Supervisor Hatch, and
we called for voluntary workers to
take small districts. Thirty were
thus formed and many of the prin-
cipal business concerns of the city
allocated men for this work. The
portion of the city lying west of
Fourth street was covered last week
by paid Spanish-American work
er. This last re-check was very
thorough and an individual card
was made for every dwelling house
in the city and the question asked
Have all persons at this address
been enumerated?' Answer 'yes' or
'no' printed thereon followed by a
space for the names of all those
persons who had not been enUiner-
ated.. Many of the noes, when in
vestigated, prove" 20 be erroneous
as some members of the family had
already made a census return.
Not enough noes were obtained
to make it worth while to rcopen
the census count said Roberts.
"a large percentage of the resi-
dents of the Imperial Valley ciries,
the 1880 census has disclosed, live
east of the tracks and comprise

| commenting on the census re-
turns or FL Centre, ID. B. Roberts,
chairman of the FL Centre Chamber
of Commerce special census commit
tee, had this to say when inter
viewed today, "El Centre got a
bad break by this census enumer
alton because early April was just
about the most unfavorable season
of the year for the enumerating of
noses in this city. fIad the census
enumeration occurred two weeks
earlier or few weeks later we
would have shown hundreds or per-
haps even thousands of additional
residents.
Forseeing this, the chamber of
commerce directorate had from the
beginning laid plans to make the
enumeration as complete as possible
and committee was named which
proceeded at once to work in close
accord with Forrest l.. Heat, cen
sus supervisor, of San Diego, and
+. n. ID. Hatch, who is in charge
of the Imperial County enumeration
and their aid was offered the cen
sus bureau.
When the supply of census blanks
was exhausted the chamber of com
merce ordered and paid for new
blanks, which were delivered in two
hours notice, and permitted the
census enumerators to remain i'll the
'ield When the census reporters
had difficulty in stopping and in
terviewing the transient guests at
the hotels the directorate called the
acting chief of police into confer
ence and uniformed police officers
were assigned to accompany the
enumerators to the hotels and re-
main in the lobby, stopping every
person so they could be enumer-
ated.
"In some of the smaller hotels
of the city, largely patronized BY
working men, there were many who
ignored the request for an individ-
ual return and the chamber OF com
merce arranged, with the help of
the junior chamber Of commerce,
for corps of policemen to accom-
pany the senior and junior chamber
members who visited these hotels

Paramount Stars
Seen On Parade

Cleverness is written all over
"Paramount On Parade. the gigan-
tie revue, featuring SO well known
Paramount stars, which opened last
night at Fox Imperial theatre.
There are few dull moments
throughout the course of the produc,
tion and one enjoys the novelty of
seeing well known favorites of the
screen in unusual roles.
The costumes and stage setting
are far above the average, with
many of the scenes being shown in
technicolor.
Maurice Chevalier, the famous
French singing comedian, is seen
and heard to advantage in several
new songs, and Helen Kane of
"boop a doop" fame, is the center
of clever skit written around hei
peculiar style of singing.
There are too many stars to

ization of the great need for pro1id-
ing sanitary home and surroundings
for these people who mean so much
to the business, industrial and ag-
ricultural life of Ell Centre and
other valley cities.
"Myself and other directors Of
the chcamber of commerce are firm
ly convinced that the census re-
turn for FL Centre truly represents
our population as it existed in early
April. OF course this is a lissp-
polntment to many persons who
thought that FL Centre contained
more people. Certainly FL CeHtro

AS an additional precaution the
chamber of commerce is making a

fiIJSHMAN SAYS
DlJAL-BALLOON
DRIVERS FRIEND

Flat tires, the banc of all auto
lists. are due to become as extinct
as the dodo, according to Jimmy
Hushman, of Hushman IS garage, val
lev distributors for General tires.
Freedom from tire troubles, posi-
tively safe driving and easy riding
arc insured by the new General
dual.balloon tire, which is also de-
clared to be blowout proof.
New safety and new confidence
make the owner of dual-balloons en-
iov every moment he travels, his
mind free from worry of what might
happen if n tire blows out.
Every year thousands of serious
accidents are charged to tires that
sblew' at the wrong moment. "Why
invite this chance, now that you
can match the power and speed OF
your modern ear with the modern
blowout proof f tire,' Hushman
asks.
The dual-balloon runs at the low
est pressure ever known. In addi-
ton it has built-in rubber shock alb
sorbers, extra layers of soft cushion
rubber, that mean an extra give
inside the tire.
This thicker cushioning prevents
overheating from internal friction,
eliminating inside tire wear. 1t les
sens the force of damaging blows,
absorbing the heavy impacts, on
rough roads that commonly cause
carcass breaks and blow-outs in
stiff, unyielding tires.
Motorists are invited to drop in
and see for themselves that the
General dual-balloon will do all that
we claim for it, and even more,
saws Hushman.

70 other influential officials in Csl-
iro1nia, urging them to use their
good offices to Influence the gov
ernment to use the Imperial Coun-
ty Airport for an air mail stc-.
No opposition has developed in
Southern California to such stop
but, in the interest of faster fly
ing time, the post office department
IS disinclined to make additional
stops. California contends that an
air mail service which does not
stop in important communities is
of little use and that stops must be
essential if the air mail IS to be Of
any use to communities over which
the planes travel.

LOCAL HOMES TO
BE- FEATURED IN
ADVERTISEMENTS

Interesting homes in III Centre
form the basis for series of ad
vertisements announced by J. r.
Fahs, manager of the furniture de-
partment of the Imperial Valley
Hardware Company, to appear in
the Press, the first one being in
today's issue. =,
"That FL Centre is taking its
place in Southern California as a
city Of beautiful homes, is indi.
Gated by the very attractive views
which will be shown in this SERIES"
Fahs states.
"The movement for better homes
here" he continued, "is the result
of community pride and the desire
of the people to enjoy the comfort
and security that are offered by n
good home, tastefully furnished.
at has been only a few years
since tent houses and other pio-
neer types of abode were accepted
as the standard. Many persons who
came here did not plan to remain
here permanently, and were salts
fled TO live in any sort of tenn
porary dwelling. In recent years
the development of building for
permanency has been rapid and
those who build now do so with the
idea of making real homes here.
"More rapid progress in home de-
velopment is being made in III
Centre and other valley cities than
in any other comparable section of
the state.
ave hope through this series of
advertisements to stimulate the de-
sire for home owning and to in
crease the number of beautiful
homes of which our city may well
be proud"

ABANDONED FARMS
 IN CONN. ARE FEW
States Showing Excellent, Com.
 missioner Buckingham Says

Hartford. June 25 LP-Connecti- cut has proportlonately fewer re- gently abandoned farms than any other state in the Union with the possible exception Of Massachusetts, Commissioner of Agriculture $. Mo Lean Buckingham said today. Farms are changing hands and are being used for specific purposes other than agriculture but few have ceas- cd to return revenue 10 the town in which they are located and conse- quently cannot be chased as aban- doned farms.
 With the federal census still in complete but indications pointing toward national decrease in farm population, there is much specula- ton as to what will become of the abandoned farms in New England and other sections of the country. Connecticut need not worry. for there are practically no abandoned farms in this state, the commission CT says. While 1t is expected that the Connecticut farm population may show slight decrease in the pres ent census. indications are that the gross income from agriculture will be equal to if not greater than !t vas. 10 years ago

STEEL GEARS TAKE
 BATTLE ID COURT
Opposition to Merger Continued
 by Middle West

Youngstown, O., June 25 P-Cap- talns of steel fighting over the Youngstown Sheet and Tube -Bethle- hem Steel corporation merger laid their battle lines anew in common pleas court here today.
 Resumption of the fight that shifted from one of the nations most spectacular proxy wars into the courts was at hand with the sched uled opening of the hearing of the suit brought by the Continental Shares corporation Of Cleveland and Myron C. Wick, jr., Of Youngstown, seeking to block the merger.
 Financial observers believed the outcome of the suit not only Will determine whether Bethlehem will come a billion dollar corporation but affect the future efforts of middle western capitalists to lessen the in fuence of Wall street outside of the east
 Although his name was not among the plaintiffs, the figure of Cyrus S. Eaton. Cleveland capitalist who has amassed millions in public utilities. steel and rubber. dominated the op- position to the merger. Continental Shares and Wick. holders of consld- erable Sheet and Tube stock. are as- soclated with the interests of Eaton. himself the largest individual stock holder.
 Eaton's group has contended that the terms Of the merger are detri mental to Sheet and Tube stock holders, that the vote in favor of the consolidation by little more than the necessary tWo-thirds majority Of stockholders was obtained by unfair methods. and that some Of the stock voted for the merger was not owned by the voters
 The pro-nerger group has assert cd that consolidation will be of ru- tual benefit because Of the divergent products of the two companies ana denied that the means of arranging the consolidation were questionable.
 The merger was approved by Sheet and Tube stockholders Apr,t 5 by 58,000 more than the necessary tWo-thirds majority Of the approu- mately 100000 shares Of common stock. The terms called for an ex- change Of one and one-third shares of Bethlehem common for one Of Sheet and Tube. Since then q multi tude Of court actions have been filed and dissenting stockholders have announced they will demand cash for their holdings.
