Money Account
With Husband

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 81. UP)-
Helen Lee Worthington, former
Follles beauty, whose married life
with DR.. Eugene c. Nelson, negro
physician, has been much in the
limellght, said today that she was
attempting to obtain a better fin
encial settlement from DR.. Nelson.
Miss Worthington, after treat
ment in a New York neurological
hospital, returned to Los Angeles
several days ago. She declared
that the physician recently agreed
to give her 5000 month but that
she found it impossible to live on
that sum.
Through all her troubles, Miss
Worthington said, DR.. Nelson re-
manned "the only friend I have"
Every one else has turned
against me- she said. "They think
I am fool. I married DR.. Nelson
because loved him and my discov-
cry OF the colored strain made no
difference because I loved him still.
Now, however, I do not feel the
same way L did when I wrote I

The romance between the doctor
Id Miss Worthington started
when the actress was working in
motion pictures and became i'll.
Her maid called DR.. Nelson.
About year ago there was a rift
and Miss Worthington left their
home in the negro district of Los
Angeles only to return after a short
separation.
DR.. Nelson today refused to make
a statement concerning their rela-
tions.
L will say that Miss Worthington
is very upset and perhaps not en-
tlrely responsible for statements she
may be persuaded to make" he
said. "She is not living under my

Five noted football coaches were
sounded off today on the question
Of point after touchdown.
Their reaction to the proposal of
bill Alexander of Georgia Tech
that the point after touchdown be
abolished "as lending too much
value to an individual performance"
was, generally speaking, "boloney"
From his quarters at Mayo clinic,
where he is getting overhauled,
Knute Rockne told the United
Press
Certainly favor retention of
the point after touchdown; I am
absolutely against change at
present" "The Rocks" reaction
was a foregone conclusion. 1t was
generally broadcast after the Army
game, which the Irish won, 7-6, that
Rockne was more pleased with his
crew when they blocked the Army's
try for placement after touchdown
than in the performance of any
other play during the season.
Blocked placement kicks are lit
tie rarer than hens teeth in big
league football and Rockne, usual
'ly sparing with his praise, said his
boys looked like champions.
On the Pacific coast, several big
wig said their say.
AS an interesting sequel TO the
Washington State Southern Cali
fornia game, which the Cougars
won, TO. the rival coaches held
forth as follows:
Babe Hollingbery of Washing

Accident Has
Unique Feature

a unique automobile accident
yesterday was reported to the
sheriff's office last night.
The accident derives its unique
position from the fact that both
drivers involved had complied with
the law in making a boulevard
stop just prior to the crash.
Mrs. II. G. Scherrer of Imper-
ial reported the accident She
stated that she was driving north
on Sixth street, and turned right
down Main street after making a
boulevard stop. Paul Pracolamous
of Calexico cut in on the right
after making a boulevard stop, hit
ting her car, said Mrs. Scherrer.
Neither driver was injured, and
but slight damage resulted to the
automobiles.

TlLDEN QUITS
AMATEURS FOR
FILM CONTRACT

NEW YORK, Dec. ST. UPN-Fol-
lowing the wake of Bobby Jones
William T. Tilden II, seven times
national tennis champion and re-
earded by many as the greatest
player the game has ever seen, has
turned his back on amateur compe-
tition.
Like Jones, whose retirement pre-
ceded his by several weeks, Tilden
will journey to Hollywood to make
a series of movie shorts demon
strating and explaining the shots
that made him famous. His con-
tract with Metro -Goldwyn -Maye,
calls for his appearance on the Pa
cific Coast within a month.
The terms of the contract are not
known, but it is believed unlikely
that Tilden will earn the $250,O0O
that Jones is expected to receive for
his golf serials. Jones quit when he
was at the peak of his skill and
fame; Tilden when he had slipped
from the heights.
Tilden announced his retirement
in letter to Holcombe Ward, chair
man Of the amateur rules committee
of the United States Lawn Tennis
association. Unlike Jones, who In
his letter to the golf association ex-
pressed doubt that his movie work
meant automatic expulsion from
amateur play, Tilden accepted his
contract as meaning he was through
as Simon pure
What Tilden plans to do after
the talking shorts are completed is
not known; but it is reported that
he plans to make several exhibition
tours, playing with and against
other American professionals.

AS an illustration of some of the
problems present in the schools, he
spoke of the eye troubles to be
found, saying that he would like
to take some one school to work
out a system in handling them.
The value of immunization from
diphtheria was discussed, h e
speaker making the statement that
it would be criminal for a child to
die of this disease since immuniza-

ROAD BUILDING
PLAN OUTLINED
FOR JUNIORS

Some of the work accomplished
by the Ell Centro Junior Chamber
of Commerce during the past year
and projects carried on into the next
year were reviewed at the regular
weekly meeting of the Jaycees held
this morning in the Barbara Worth
Hotel.
Bob Hays, representative from the
Senior Chamber of Commerce, sug-
gested as possible project to be
undertaken by the juniors during
the coming year the building of a
road over the proposed route of the
Imperial highway, starting at a
point near the Plaster City water
pump and going north.
A number Of Seeiey residents,
Hays explained, have already
secured tractor to break a route
for the proposed road. The proposal
involved merely desert road which
engineers could follow in inspecting
the route. Fifteen miles of road
would be constructed under this
project. 1t was suggested that a
number of unemployed could be
used for work in construction of
the highway. Help of the county
and prominent citizens would be
called for
The matter of the road was taken
under advisement after a vote by
members of the junior chamber.
Another matter brought up by
President Russell Kleigel was the
planting of trees in Ell Centro and
along Imperial Valley highways.
Bud Harrigan told the Jaycees that
100 trees have already been delivered
to Seeley and 124 to INLAND, and
enough trees are left in the nursery
to plant several miles of highway
leading into Ell Centro. More re-
quests for trees have been received
than can be filled at present, said
Harrigan, although the project will
grow in scope.
1t was brought out that these
trees. and the planting OF them. is
aimed primarily to benefit the city
of FL Centre, since it is being Spon-
sored by the Ell Centro Junior
chamber of commerce.
Al G.. Smith, earlier in the meet
ing, suggested that letter be writ
ten to the Auto club suggesting that
signs, Dangerous Sand, Keep OF, -
be posted on the Yuma highway in
the sand dunes. After vote the
secretary was instructed to write
such a letter.

ELECTRICAL POWER
SALE GAIN PLANNED
Utilities Executives Develop
ing New Methods of In.
Creasing U. S. Output.

Further development of the outlets for
electric power is being arranged by the
far-Sighted utility executives Of the
United States. Increases in profits are
in prospect for these companies from
the development of wired radio and tele-
vision.
Wired radio already is progressing fast
throughout the Middle West, where re-
ceiving sets operated in conjunction
with telephones are being rented regu-
larry to subscribers.
Variety Of Service.
Radio engineers explain that it is
possible to clear any number of chan
nelS on the ordinary telephone circuit
riety of broadcasting. Moreover, this
can be accomplished with only q mini
mum expense for added equipment.
Power producers have been consider
ably worried over the fact that in many
buildings they have been unable to sell
the customer as much power as the
latter would like to buy, owing to the
older methods of wiring. Some 17,000,-
600 Of the 19,000,000 homes wired for
electricity are almost at capacity, so far
as the absorption of electric current is
the current producer to furnish the
necessary current over the small wires,
which were placed in the older houses
without blowing out fuses. This has
closed to some extent the field for
heating and cooling by electricity so far
as the old houses are concerned and
has also made impossible the employ
ment Of the electrical equipment de-
veloped for other purposes in recent
years.
For the new buildings. possibilities for
the sale OF power are almost unlimited.
Development Of additional power sales
for heavy duty purposes, therefore, is
dependent on the building industry and
the replacement of old houses by modern
wired structures.
Broadcasting Talent.
However, this does not apply to radio
or television and it is because revenue
from these sources can be increased with
additional capital expenditure for fur
Their wiring that the producers are turn
ing to the combination of radio and mo-
ton pictures.
Some Of the utilities are even now
building up nucleus of broadcasting
talent. This is not being done openly,
since such o course would draw atten-
ton OF competitors, but artists are being
placed under contract In various ways.
Loan Of their services to individual adj
vertisers, for whom they will perform
temporarily, is keeping down expenses
meanwhile.
The utility expansion program, &C.
cording to Matthew S. Sloan, president
OF the New York Edison Co., who re-
ported to President Hoover on Friday,
Will exceed the $1,400, 1000 outlined
Tor 1t. At no time in 1880 has the power
production Of the county been below the
corresponding period Of 1929. The gains
In some periods rose as high as As per
