The Once Over
THE WORDS OF TONGUE OR Pen
BY II. 4. PHILLIPS

THE sADDEsT ORD OF TONGUE OR PEN
Bad advice has been mine to amazing degrees,
And I've had ample chance to regret 1t,
But the dreariest words. I consider. are these
You can put this away and forget It'll"
I've known foolish suggestions galore in my time,
Each one getting my goat. II I'd let II,
But the one tip I now know was ne'er worth a dime
Was this: Put II away and forget it,
Bunk I've often heard fall from the lips of the wise
When the slightest horse-sense might upset it,
But this line I now name for the big BOBBY prize
You can put this away and forget it,"
Sages often have uttered a judgment quite sad
And have lived to see facts badly wet 1t.
But oh, where was there ever advice quite as bad
AS Put this away and forget it?"
Silly counsel I've had and II brought me despair
With the coolest charts to abet II
But I ask you. my friends. for a thing to compare
With Just put 1t away and forget it,
It's boloney like that that has cost me my dough
CAnd I now peddle apples to get it,;
How I yearn for a sock at the big so-and-so,
Who said. put this away and forget IT,"
When he dies and his soul takes the slippery grade,
am hoping IL we'll worth a bet II
Won't take Satan so long to hand it to an aide
And say, Put this awav N FORGET IT."

TRAFFIC CRASHES
SHOW INCREASE
OVER LAST YEAR

The motoring public OF Califor-
mia started the year 1881 with a
1903 per cent increase in motor
vehicle accidents with a resultant
1926 per cent increase in persons
injured and 944 per cent increase in
deaths. These increases are COM
puted with the January 1890 re-
port as base.
New Years day traffic was an
important factor in January acci-
dents. This is indicated by the
large volume of accidents occur
ring on Thursdays. The same
was true in January 1880 when
more accidents occurred on We'd
nesdays" as January l, 1880 fell
on Wednesday.
Light conditions under which ac-
cidents occurred in January 1881
varied slightly from the average"
when considerable more accidents
were reported occurring in dark
ness than daylight.
The road location of accidents
followed the average" in January
with the most accidents at city
intersections. Between intersec-
tons" was second greatest in the
number of accidents by location

CITY'S SCOUT
QUOTA TAGGING
FAR In REAR

Ell Centro still has one half of
her Boy Scout quota to raise and
teams working on the drive are
particularly anxious to complete
solicitation as soon as possible, it
is explained by those active IN
collecting.
"Other towns included in the I'm
perial-Yuma council have raised
the quota assigned or are near the
finish," M. o. King, chairman of
the local drive, said today. THE
men who are serving on the teams
are business and professional men
who donate their time to the cause.
They cannot be expected to work
indefinitely. Immediate contribu-
tion is greatly to be desired"
The quota for this city is $3.50
and Ell Centro is declared TO be the
only valley city behind the drive.
I'VE have cut expenses down to
minimum but we must keep
Scouting in the Impernl-Yuma
council up to the standard" said
II. E. Lounsbury, Scout executive
I'VE have one executive and one
part time secretary to take care Of
the entire council.
Scouting is growing continually
and greater number of boys are

making business contacts and it is
believed that the afternoon of April
10 will be spent in this manner.
Special request has been made

1t is of interest to note that % ac-
cidents occurred on bridges and
piers, 6 of which were fatal acci-
dents. This is an increase of over
100 per cent over January 1890.
A total of 1926 motorists were
reported definitely at fault in JAM
uary accidents. Six hundred eight
violated right of way, while 5O2
drivers tthe second greatest num-
ber) came to grief because of too
much speed. Nineteen of t..ee
"speeders" were involved =, fatal
accidents.
Although the total deaths in
creased II in January 1881 over
January 1890 the number of pedes-
trians killed was less than in $780,
The largest numerical increases in
deaths were in non-collision acci-
dents and collision of two motor
vehicles. The number of persons
killed on bicycles increased from
one in January 1880 to four in
January this year. The one person
killed on the bicycle in 1880 was
a male over SO years of age, while
all of those killed in January this
year were male children less than
20 years of age.
The number of collisions with
railroad trains dropped from 81 in
January 1880 to 81 in January this
year. The resultant injured in this
type of accident decreased 7, but

TOBACCO FIRMS
EARNINGS SHOW
LARGE INCREASE

Net earnings of the American
Tobacco Company for 1890, after
providing for all expenses of man
agement, depreciation and taxes,
amounted to $43,345,3 $40. according
to the annual report which has
been mailed to stockholders. Tex
as paid to the federal government
alone were more than Sl50,000, 900.

company's history, represent an
increase of 43 per cent over the
net earnings of 1929 and amounted
to $8.56 per share in 1890 as against
$5.76 per share in 1929.

of 3,161 ,982 were paid on the pre-

With the notice OF the annual
meeting on April there has been
mailed to the stockholders a COM
plete statement as to what has
been done in carrying out the
stockholders authorization given
at their special meeting OF July
%, 1880 for the sale of common
B stock to employees.
1t is pointed out that in 1926,
the year George w. Hill became
president, the company produced
only 20.14 per cent of all the cigar
cites made in the United States.
During the last five years, not
withstanding unusually active COM
petition, the company's percent
age of the total cigarette business
in the United States has steadily
increased to 1910 per cent of the
total in 1890.
Actual sales of Lucky Strike Gig
arettes, the company's principal
brand, increased 6,2l9, 100000 in
1880 as compared with 1929. This
was greater increase by more
than 5,50o,000,000 cigarettes than
all the cigarettes produced in the

CHINESE TAKE
USUAL MOVE TO
GET BACK HOME

Bland smiles of oriental welcome
greeted w. F. Cole, immigration in
spector, when he halted nine suave
Chinese on a highway west of Cal
exico late yesterday afternoon.
The Chinese gladly climbed into
the immigration mans car, and
more gladly rode to the county Jail,
where they remain today. Walking
along the highway, not cent in
their pockets and no food in sight,
the orientals were not in the least
disturbed. Shades of their ances-
tors would provide, perhaps they
thought. They saw the work of
their ancestors in Willis Cole.
Booked at the county Jail, the
Chinese provided a record breaking
list of names. They were HON Fou,
80, Won Dun Suey, 40, Low Hook
Kang, A, Low Singh, 43, Gee Kee
Wing, 81, Gin Quee Git, 60, Dong
Kai, 81, Chin Soon Chung, So, and
Low Keang, 60.
Visions of Hong Kong and Shang-
hal actuated the Chinese in crossing
the border, claimed deputies at the
jail. The Chinese, they hazarded,
had shipped their earthly belong
ings to China and crossed the bor-
der that they might get free trans
portation, by way of deportation to
their native lnad.
You couldn't get rid OF them,"
said Frank Reading, deputy United
States marshal. IF you put them
off the bus they would run it down."

the exhibit from the health stand
point.
The health values to be found in
dairy products are shown by clever
charts and tables as well as pic
lures. and the fact that these pro-
ducts contain elements necessary
to growth which can not be obtain
ed il like amounts of other foods
is clearly demonstrated.
While part or the SCHOOL eX-
hibitS. the display booth exhibited
by the Central high school chapter
of the Future Farmers of America
properly belongs under the head of
agriculture. The aims of the Or
ganization are concerned with vo-
cational agriculture, the permanent
farm relief.
The boys have two farms, one
modern we'll equipped ranch and
the other. its exact opposite. One
ranch is carefully farmed, has mod
ern equipment and buildings, good
livestock and crops, and the other
is a run down, hap-hazardly man
aged, slatternly appearing place.
1t is quite evident from the dif-
ference in the two places that the
club members have a good notion
as to what constitutes good farming
and what does not, and their ex-
hibit is interesting not only from
this standpoint and from the clever
arrangements of the two farms
but from the crops shown growing,
crops typical Of the valley.
