RECORD CROWD
ENJOYS ANNUAL
FIREMEN'S BALL

For the twenty second time the Ell
Centro Volunteer Fire department
sponsored the largest social event OF
the winter season and firemen again
lived up to their reputation of being
incompatible hosts.
Residents throughout the valley
rallied to the call and packed the
Central high school auditorium TO
capacity. Approximately 1900 per-
sons attended.
Many beautifully gowned women
added to the gala appearance of the
scene and the white uniforms OF
firenen contributed the necessary
official dash.
Music for dancing was provided
by two orchestras under the direc-
tion of Don Igoe and the applause
was proof enough that the dancers
approved of the selection of the mu-
sic committee.
The orchestra booth was decorated
with ladders and hose while flags
and bunting were used in decorating
other sections of the gymnasium.
After long program of dancing
the midnight luncheon was served
the menu proving to be delightful
surprise TO the dancers.
Many former members of the de-
partment were present and all val
ley towns were well represented.

HEARS TALK ON
ALASKAN TRIP

Jack Hart of Los Angeles regaled
Kiwanis with description of a
whaling trip to waters off Alaska

day luncheon at the Barbara Worth
hotel yesterday.
The trip required eight months
and many exciting experiences re-
suited. Hart displayed souvenirs
of whale bone and ivory obtained
from the whales slain on the trip.
Plans were made to take the
Friendship chest" to the Yuma
club next Thursday night. This
chest was brought to the local club
from East San Diego after having
visited 30 or 40 clubs in the Cali
fornia Nevada district. The chest
contains a roster signed by members
of the clubs where it has been.
Kiwanians will present a program
at the McCabe Farm center meet

discussed yesterday

solos yesterday. Joe Scott was

IT SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN

Unique in many things, California has
added to her uniqueness this week by try
ing and convicting a dead woman for
murder.
Mrs Guy Bates Post, who killed Mrs.
Doris Palmer at Laguna Beach 10 months
ago, was adiudged murderess in order
to prevent her heirs from inherting
property willed to Mrs. Post by Mrs.
Palmer
Somehow we don't like the procedure.
The dead, no matter how they died, are
dead and they are beyond any ability to
defend themselves. Mrs. Post had the
benefit of counsel in court, it is true, but
she herself was on trial and she could
not answer the charge.
The sum involved is $1,000. money and
jewelry-a pitiful sum to squabble over
in the public courts. 1t makes on think
of ghouls performing their terrible work
If the relatives Of Mrs. Post and Mrs.
Palmer loved them as they should, and
if they are intelligent persons as they
are supposed to be, they could have set
tied this matter without dragging it into
court, reopening what was more a pit
iful tragedy of overwrought nerves and
unnatural affection, more than deliber-
ate and cold-blooded murder.
A unique case, yes but hardly one that
California can point to with pride.

IMPROVEMENT IN

OF GAS COMPANY

E. M. Lindsay, general superin-
tendent of the Natural Gas Corpor- =
alton of California. arrived in Ell
Centro Thursday night to look over
the plant and inspect the new dis
tribution system being installed in
the city.
In statement issued to the Press
yesterday, he said: Our company
purchased the local plant and dis
tribution system early in the sum-
mer of 1880 and at that time, as
well as during the summer. were
|able to render satisfactory service
Ito local consumers.
Late in the fall, due to colder
weather and increased demand for
gas, it was found that the system
and plant were hard pressed to
supply the demand.
These conditions. together with
the failure of certain equipment,
indicated that some requirements
were necessary. After realizing the
situation, we Immediately proceed
ed to replace the old cast iron

steel main. This has helped ma
terially to improve conditions.
I'VE have plans for further ex-
tensive requirements and repairs
to both the distribution system and
the plant. We expect to start this
work this spring and will be COM
pleted as quickly as possible.
Ample capacity will be provided
to meet local demands for some
time to come. We are expanding
in order to provide for the future
growth of El Centre. We are con-
fident that it will grow quite rapid
ly and We want to grow with II"

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
LAUGHING BUNNIES

"Unkie Wig, ism t everything just
lovely?o asked Baby Bunty, the lit
tie orphan rabbit as she hoped
along through the woods beside Un-
Gle Wiggily.
"Well, yes, Bunty, everything
seems to be pretty NICE said the
old rabbit gentleman. But what
do you mean is lovely?'
Why, just everything!' Bunty
answered. You know you ran
away to the woods becauseI was bad
and Jingle and Jangle pulled the
cloth, dishes and all off the table.
And then the jolly dog gave you the
tickle stick and
"Oh, yesi You mean that!'
chuckled Mr.. Longears. And hap
pening to point the tickle stick at
himself he had to laugh OF course.
"'Oh, isn't everything lovely!
cried Baby Bunty again and then
Uncle Wiggily pointed the tickle
stick at her and she had to laugh.
Just before that Mr.. Longears
had pointed the stick, which the jol-
ly dog gave him, at the Fox, and
made the Bad Chap laugh SO hard
that he couldn' t close his teeth to
bite.
A few mintes later Uncle Wiggily
saw crying Wolf and pointed the
tickle stick at him. And all at once
the Wolf stopped crying and began
to laugh. For it was the kind of a

is true the Wolf said he was crying
because his wife had been peellng
onions to make a shortcake. But
anyhow, the tickle stick made the
Wolf laugh.

as she and Mr.. LongearS hoped on
through the woods toward the hol-
low stump bungalow. =" think that

spoke Mr.. LongearS.
All of a sudden the little orphan
rabbit began to laugh. Uncle Wig
gily was surprised for he hadn t
pointed the tickle stick at Bunty. So
he asked her:
"Why are you laughing?'
"Oh, I just feel so jolly she an

more baby talk than she should
"What will happen when we get
home with the tickle stick?' asked
Uncle Wiggily, for Baby Bunty had
not yet answered him.
You III see,' was all the little or
phan rabbit would say.
So she and Uncle Wiggily hoped
on and on and on through the
woods.
Now, all this while Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy, and Mrs. Longears,

MISS BEST DECIDES

Like the welcome sunshine that FOL
lows the rain, is this Edna Best incident.
Edna Best is said to be one OF the
leading English actresses. We never
heard of her until certain incident arose
this week, and perhaps there are many
others who can say the same.
Miss Best must be a remarkable wom-
an. Certainly she is an extraordinary
woman.
Her success on the English and AM
erican stage Won her Hollywood mo-
ton picture eontraet-the goal for which
millions strive and SO we attain. 1t
was given to her with all the success that
such a contract implies waiting for her.
She accepted the contract and then she
broke it after reaching the film metrop-
oils.
She broke it for a most novel reason,
as affairs 90 these days. She was lone
some for her husband, who was playing
on the stage in New York, SO she packed
up her bag, tore up the contract, told
the awe-stricken film magnates to go
Jump in the lake and went back to her
husband. She made no apologies and
expressed no regrets. She went.
Miss Best, or Mrs. Herbert Marshall,
to call her by her marriage name, doesn't
see anything odd in her action. She loves
her husband, she was lonesome for him
and she would rather be with him than
get the biggest part in Hollywood even
if it did mean playing opposite John
Gilbert.
We must confess that part of the af-
fair strikes a responsive chord in us.
She threw down John Gilbert and how.
He may be the idol of millions of girls,
but to Miss Best he didn't rate any high
er than Mickey The Mouse
We read so much of marital troubles,
