BUY NEXT TUESDAY

Leading men and women of the coun-

tives, are all united in agreeing that now
is a good buying time, when the buyer can
get more for his money than when times
are booming.
The dollar of today will bring consid-
erably more in any line than It would

crash.

ing it, is declared to be the remedy Tor
the present depression.
While the depression is not apparent
in Imperial Valley. money should be III

boarded, and a special invitation to the
public to do some circulating on next
Tuesday, is extended by merchants and
members of the Womans Ten Thousand
club.
Through an agreement between the
club members and the merchants, the lat
ter Will give certain percentage of their
cash sales on that day to the former.
The money so obtained will be used to
make necessary repairs on the clubhouse
and paw other bills which the club must
meet If there is one organization to
which the city of El Centre ,,} owes
much, it is the Woman's Ten Thou
sand club. which has been foremost
in every community activity since its or
ganization nearly % years ago.
The club women will undertake to
stimulate buying. figuring on the basis
that the more merchandise sold the more
money they will get. In other words
there is chance for a bargain, and give
a woman that chance-well, married men
know considerable about it.
This buying day is going to be an eX-

he buys and sells, the better business is

YOU CAN'T REFUSE YOCNGSTERS

We would like to say word ABOUT the
plea being made for automobiles TO trahS-
port Ell Centro school children to the 1aT
grounds next Tuesday, so that theT may
hear the United States Marine Band.
There is not a man or woman IN III Cen
fro who would not willingly do good
turn for child, something that would
bring Joy and happiness to the youngster'
whether it happened to be ther own or
that of some other resident.
1t is impossible to put into words the
exaggerated amount Of happiness young
sters get from such an occasion as the
band will provide. All of US have seen
them 90 into ecstacy over rag doll. an
ice cream cone. toy balloon or some
other inconsequential object, To be TAX
en- to Imperial, given an opportunity to
hear the band and then come home to talk
about it, will be red letter day IN their
lives.
Those who have cars and the time to
make the short run to Imperial, should
not hesitate to offer their services. 1t may
mean little to them but it means much to
the youngsters.

Forty-three glider pilot licenses have

such a license the first of the year.
This number, 1t was announced, in
cludes pilots of the areonautics branch

vate individuals.
Glider pilot license No / is held by
Clarence M. Young, Assistant Secretary

nautics branch
All 40 licenses so far issued are OF
the commercial type. In order to re-
cetve this type of license, the applicant
must pass q physical examination of the
same character as now is required for

ARMY AIR SCHOOL
CHANGES ARE MADE
"Airplane Mechanics" Course Con-
solidates Studies at
Rantoul, Ill.

Important changes have been made
IN the curriculum and organization OF
the Army Air Corps Technical School
at Chanute Field, Rantoul, ILL.,, in prep
aration for the school year which be-
gan last month, the War Department
has announced
Under direction Of Lieut.. William M.
flanagan, director Of the department
Of mechanics of the school, the pres
ent courses of engine mechanics, air.
plane mechanics and crew chiefs have
been consolidated into a single course
of nine months duration, to be known
as the "airplane mechanics course"
This change is expected greatly to in
crease the efficiency of the students,
since each man will become familiar
with the entire airplane and its en-
CINE, eliminating the necessity Of hav-
ing o specialist in each subject. Under
the present system, it was explained,
personnel conditions In tactical squad"
rons make available an average OF one
man per plane to keep the. equipment
in flying condition. Under this system
an engine mechanic is unable to make
adjustments or repairs on the airplane
itself, and the airplane mechanic can
not keep the engine properly tuned.
The new plan Is intended to do away
with this condition. .-.-' -
Separation of the armament division
from the department of mechanics has
been completed, the division now func-
tioning under command OF Lieut.. Ar
thur G. Hamilton as separate unit OF
the school. The course in general me-
chanics aircraft welders has been d.
vided into two distinct courses. The
parachute riggers' course remains I'M
changed. but double the number of
students will be handled

2OFOKKER AEROS.
Twenty Single Engined Mono
planes Contracted for at
Cost of S45O,OOO.

After several years of purchasing tri-
motored transport and cargo planes,
the Army Air Corps has awarded a con-
tract for 20 single-engined monoplanes
to the Fokker Aircraft Corporation, 1t
has been announced. According to an
Associated Press dispatch from Wheel
ing, w. Va, Maj. G. C. Lightner, man
ager of the Fokker plant there. places
the value OF the contract at $450,000.
The new contract is regarded as an
official tribute to the tremendously in
creased reliability of the modern air.
craft engine over the types available
during and for the first years following
the World War.
The only single-engined transport
planes which have been used to any
extent in the Air Corps are an ancient
type of Douglass powered with, Liberty
engines of wartime issue. Several Of
these venerable craft still are in the
service, one of them having given up the
ghost in Virginia recently when its old
Liberty engine moaned and expired.
The Army recently purchased for fast
transport uses, Fleetster all-metal
cabin monoplane. This plane now is
being used by F. Trubee Dawson, As
sistant Secretary of War for Aero
nautics for 1O,000-mile inspection tour
1t previously has been used by Maj.
Gen. James E. Fechet chief of the Air
Corps, for several fast cross-country
trips, including one hop in which he
took breakfast in Washington and
luncheon in Muskogee, Okla.
The tri-motored transports will con-
tinue to be standard in the Air Corps,
however, 1t is anticipated. They will
be used for heavy transport duty, in
Guiding the emergency "ferrying" Of
airplane engines, supplies, mechanics
and equipment.
The 20 new planes are to be powered
with 525-horsepower engines. They
are of the high-wing cabin type used on
many transport lines.
