reproved her.
Thus admonished, Myra played the good sport
and entered into conference on comestibles
and cuisine. She didn't refer to the subject
again during the dinner more than two or
three times and perhaps once or twice when
they were dancing. Which is practically perfect
silence for girl.
But with the coffee she grew insistent.

Mike Stark was wise enough to realize that
his hopeful youth was not likely to serve him
Wen In the first step of his project He started
by borrowing 81 600 from personal loan com.
pany. Then he got exceedingly busy.
Inc way TO make money having no money
TO buy with, Is to find somebody who has
something to SELL then to find somebody who
may want to buy it. Then arrange to get the
sellers price low enough so that the buyer win
want 1t at that price, plus what you make out
OF It. Then get the names on the dotted line
and hope they don't cancel
MIKES scheme was just little less simple
than this. What gave it completely was the
fact that the sellers bottom price was I'VE
times higher than the buyers top one
Now all Mike had to do was to convince
more than twoscore third parties that it was
to their advantage TO make up the difference
and pay Mike percentage for getting them
to do SO.
It took him eight months instead Of the six
ne had figured, and since the payments on his
thousand-dollar loan came due with monot-
Onous regularity, four of those months Mike
had to keep himself fed by washing dishes &C
night in q white-front restaurant.
And on the night after the last contract was
signed on the dotted line Mike came back into
the kitchen, piled all the dirty dishes he could
IN the dishpan and emptied them over the head
Of the assistant cook, whom he had come to dis
like. 1t cost him $1O-but it was worth 1t.

Dull Session In
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, Jan. II. W.P)-
Trading on the stock exchange to-
day was the lightest of any Sat-
urday session since August 2, 1929,
when sales were only 366 900 shares.
Price movements were as unin-
teresting as volume was small.
The opening was irregular with
leaders down fractions and others
steady to firm. Some short cover
ing came into Auburn Auto later
and the stock rose three points. At
mid-session the whole list was frac-
Iionally higher. Selling broke out
near the close and wiped out near
ly all the gains.
Losses were held within small
amount and in no instance did
bears see fit to press an advantage.
Both bulls and bears seemed to be
Holding aloof and the business done
was almost negligible.

BIRD MAKES VISIT
TO LOCAL COURT

Judge A. c. Finney's superior
court room looked like a favorable
place for nest, or else good
feeding ground, to tiny sparrow
who found his way through the
shutters of an open window into
the court room Friday.
The little fellow with the black
throat latch and gray-brown feath-
ers chirped merrily as he flew from
pillar to post of the court room,
while court ground solemn justice
from its tireless mill.
Now and then the sparrow would
disappear into some hidden Granny
far up on the walls of the court
room. to appear again with a hap
py chirp, and fly to the next pillar.
Just before leaving the court
room via O ventilator fan shaft the
bit of feathered life looped high
above the American flag behind the
judges bench, perhaps in tribute,
or perhaps in search of another and
unexplored Granny in the wall.

COURT DEFERS
JUDGMENT in
DAVIDSON CASE

Because defense attorneys were
not present, and had not been noti-
fled that their case was to come be-
fore the court in sufficient time TO
allow them to reach El Centre
Judge Vaughn Thompson yesterday
afternoon continued hearing of evi-
dence in William Caine Davidson S
million dollar damage suit until
next Friday afternoon.
After hearing of evidence Judge
Thompson will set the amount to
be awarded Davidson as damages

Francisco county clerk; Thomas
Finn, former San Francisco sheriff.
and L. w. Helscher, assistant
cashier Of the Liberty Bank of San
Francisco.
At the time set for hearing it is
expected that sensational evidence
of alleged facts charged by David
son in his complaint will be intro
duced before the court.
Default against the three defen-
dants was entered by Don c. Bitter
Davidson's attorney, when they
failed to appear in court here at the
time set for trial of the case. Since
that time the defendants have car
ried on bitter fight to evade judg-

CERTIFICATE MUST
BE AUTHORIZED

Captain Frank Oswalt of the
California Highway Patrol today
warned motorists who have been
cited by state traffic officers Tor
defective brakes that they must
have their brakes adjusted at an
authorized garage in Imperial coun-
ty, and must receive certificate OF
adjustment.
The warning was occasicned by
the fact that numerous garages ad-
lust brakes and issue certificate,
telling motorists that the certificate
will be accepted by the traffic Of
ficers. In reality only certificates
from authorized stations are ac-
cepted.
Brake tests are held by the high
way patrolmen every two weeks.
Motorists who receive citations must
have their brakes adjusted.

CHANGE LAWYERS
FOR DEFENDANT
in BOMB CASE

Edward B. Patterson, local attor-
ney formerly connected with the
district attorneys office here, today
was substituted for Edgar B. Hervey
of San Diego as attorney for A. l.
Hodges, charged with murder as a
result of the Imperial bombing IN
which one Filipino was killed.
Hervey's withdrawal from the
case was accepted by Judge A. C.
Finney on the condition that Pat
terson be ready to pll,ceed with trial
January &c. Only sickness will be
accepted as an excuse for delaying
the trial of Hodges and E. T. Mccoy
said Judge Finney.
Hervey'S Withdrawal was said to
be due to financial lCasons, and the
fact that he has a number of other
cases coming up in San Diego at the
same time set for the bombing trial
here.
Hodges and Mccoy will be tried
January 26, while Anthony D. Pat
ton will have a separate trial fol-
lowing that of the other two. Ken
dali B. Perkins will defend Patton
while Harry w. Horton is attorney
tor Mccoy. s-
The three are charged with the
murder of Ariston Lampky, who
died in local hospital after receiv-
ing injuries in the bombing OF an
old barn in Imperial occupied by
approximately 100 Filipinos. -

YOUTHS PLEAD
NOT GUILTY in
ROBBERY CASE

Not guilty was the plea entered
before Judge A. c. Finney yesterday
afternoon by r. T. Mccullough,
Clifton NJ. Bransford and Clifford
Burton, charged with highway rob-
berry, after the judge had denied a
motion to strike information against
the defendant, Burton, and over
ruled a demurrer entered by Brans-
ford and Mccullough.
Trial of the three was set for
the week of February 2.
Burton was represented at the ar
raignment by Ernest r. Utley, while
Harry w. Horton appeared as the
second defense attorney.
Utley had moved to strike infor-
nation on the grounds that insuffi-
cient evidence had been introduced
at the preliminary hearing before
Judge I. Mayfield to hold Burton.
1t was the attorneys contention
that Burton was not identified as
one of the four youths implicated
in the holdup of a group of Fill
pinos on the Brawley highway ex-
cept by the testimony of an accom-
plice, Paul Cobb. The testimony OF
an accomplice if not corroborated
is insufficient to convict, said the
attorney.
Judge Finney ruled that the evi-
dence referred to was sufficient to
hold a defendant to answer, al
though not sufficient to convict.
The other defendant demurred on
the ground that the information
against them did not state facts SUI
ficient to constitute a cause OF ac-
ton. Attorneys did not argue the
demurrer.
