now and then, TO look behind HIM"
exclaimed the pig. Yes. surely some
of the Bad Chaps are chasing him. "
And yet" went on Uncle Wiggily
standing on the seat OF his car, Il
can see neither the Fox, the Wolf
nor the Bob Cat, with his silly little
tail, after the poor dog"
7 see what's chasing him!" sud-
denly grlnted the pig. g..
'What?" asked Uncle Wiggily.
"SnakeS!. cried the pig.
Snakes" shouted Uncle Wiggily.
mo, never!"
YES Right now said the pig.
II see pink snake, blue snake, a
red snake, purple snake and a
green snake twisting along after
the poor dog
oh, this is too badl Too badl"
said Uncle Wiggily. If those snakes
catch the poor dog they'll squeeze
him hard"
But when the poor dog, who had
eaten the bologna sausages, came
running up to Uncle Wiggily's car
he did not seem to be afraid of the
tWiggling snakes close behind him
The dog laughed and said:
II have brought you these snakes,
Uncle Wiggily, to be tires for your
car in place OF the bologna sausage
ones I ate. These jolly old snakes
are round and fat as rubber balls.
Each one viii Irvine itself around
one of your wheels and be a balloon
tire The fifth snake will be the
spare. They are friends of mine.
1 knew where they lived in the
woods so l went to get them. Now
you can travel on
Well" said Uncle Wiggily with
q laugh, 'if I travel on it will be
with the funniest auto tires I ever
had. Are you sure you don't mind?"
ne asked the snakes.
Not at all, they Kissed, politely.
So the pink, blue, red and purple
snakes made circles of themselves
by holding their tails in their
mouths, and tWined around one on
each wheel The green snake was
the spare tire and now Uncle Wig
gily was ready to travel on in his
auto.
And if chimney doesn't slide down
the roof of the house to see if the
gas stove has gone to sleep. I'll tell
you next about Uncle Wiggily's big
adventure.

ECONOMIC MAP
SHOWS VALLEY
BUSINESS GOOD

Although the fact that Imperia,
Valley has been a white spot for
years on the Nations Business"
map is known throughout The
United States, a few local persons
are aware that the La Sale map of
business conditions. published each
month in the business bulletin Of
the La Sale extension university, is
also showing Imperial Valley with
good business conditions, as COM
pared with a general condition of
fair throughout the country. The
third graduation on this map, that
of very good business conditions, is
not used in any section this month.
The map, which has been re-
ceived by the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce, shows Imperial VAL
ley, strip extending from San
Francisco up to Reno, spot in
Idaho and two large sections OF
Western New Mexico and eastern
Wyoming and Montana as having
good business the remainder of the
west is depicted as fair only. These
spots, which include Imperial VAL
ley report trade activity at less than
Is per cent below this time last
year. @.sH4 "a
The editor of the bulletin states
"A survey of progress which has
been made already this year and
an analysis Of the prospects for the
future give considerable assurance
that the fall months will see general
business turning upward. Many
people expected the same thing last
year, it is true, only to be disap-
pointed. There are abundant reas
ons now, however, for being more
confident"
w. A. Scheniman, chairman of the
industries and development commit
tee of the Ell Centre Chamber of
Commerce, states that indications
locally also are that business cond!-
tons will remain normal in Impe-
rial Valley this fall and winter. "Of
course" Scheniman states, much
depends upon the lettuce crop and
Imperial Valley crops cannot bring
top prices unless the rest of the
United States is sound in its buying,
but building remains active in Ell
Centre, prices on some farm COM
modities have commenced to rise
slowly and there is a general feel
ing of optimism which, if main
tanned, will keep business sound To-
cally and enable Imperial Valley to
retain its place as practically nor
NAL on the economic maps"

UNCLE wIGGILY FUNNY TIRES

Where Go you think he went
TwiSty?" asked Uncle Wiggily as he
stood near his auto without the
bologna sausage tires and looked off
into the woods
Il wish I could tell you, but I
can't" answered the pig gentleman
who was very fat and jolly He said
he knew how to get tires back on
your stalled car and then he said he
had a grand, wonderful idea and
away he ran into the woods"
He told US to wait for him, so l
suppose we better had spoke Uncle
Wiggily. Anyhow, we can't travel
on our adventure trip with no tires
to my car, so I guess we'll just have
to wait until the poor tramp dog
comes back
YES" agreed the fat pig, Il guess
so. And while I'm waiting I'll sit
on this stump
III sit in the car and watch our
trunks so that none Of the Bad
Chaps can sneak inside, said Uncle
Wiggily.
He and his pig friend, taking their
trunks. had set off on an adventure
journey in Uncle Wiggilys auto a
little while before this. The auto
had fat bologna sausages for tires.
But Mr.. Longears and the pig got
out of the car for moment and

TWO MEN WITH SAME NAME

MADISON, Wis. W.H = While his
wife was away on vacation w. c.
Bartels was astonished, angered
and worried. to read in the paper
that he had been arrested and fined
$40 for "one-armed driving" Real
izing that she might receive the
news with similar feelings, Bartels
hurriedly interviewed court officials
and policemen to ascertain who had
been using his name on an evening
when he had been visiting a neigh
bor's home. He learned, in time
TO notify his wife first, that Mil
waukee salesman legally entitled to
the same name was the one really
arrested.

when they came back all the tires
had been eaten off by poor, hun
cry tramp dog. The dog was very
sorry when he found he had eaten
Uncle Wiggily's auto tires and Of
fered to do what he could to fix
the car so it could run again.
As Mr.. TWistytail and Uncle Wig
gily remarked just now, the dog had
run off into the woods telling the
two friends to wait until he came
back
Maybe he'll bring you a new car,
Wiggily," said the pig.
Il don't see how a poor old dog
so hungry that he has to eat my
bologna sausage tires, is going to
buy me a new car" said the rabbit.
There must be some other trick
to it,
We'll, I wish he'd hurry back and
do something" grunted the pig L
want to have some adventure on
this journey
Il think we are having some ad-
ventures" chuckled Mr. Longears.
First we had to wait over a day
on account of the rain. Then the
Fox hid in my trunk. Or was it the
Bob Cat or the WOLFF
"One of EN-, anyhow grunted
the pig.
Then, when we did start went
on the rabbit, the poor dog ate my
tires and now we are wondering
what he is going to do to make up
for being so hungry and keeping us
here. Adventures, call 'em!'
We'll, perhaps you are right.
grunted the pig gentleman. But we
shall soon know what the poor dog
is going to do to help US, for here
he comes now
| Good" cried Uncle Wiggily

red. But look!' cried the rabbit

IA ready-nade meal down town, only
to have it thrown into his face be-
cause it does not suit his wife, why
|he is just naturally going to slap
her.
But Mrs. Gaines, who has COM

Imperial Valley press., 1931-08-26

contends the slapping should be
done only by the woman of the
family. so she filed q complaint
against her husband, charging him
with disturbing the peace, and caus-
ed his arrest by S. J. Clark, patrol
man.
Gaines told a pitiful story to Of
ficers Of how his wife constantly
refuses to cook for him Her re-
fusal TO perform culinary duties is
at the bottom of all this trouble,
said Gaines.
Last night, he said, he arrived
home TO find nothing ready to eat.
Doing as he has done before, he
went 10 a restaurant and bought
supper, carrying it home with him.
Proudly he laid it out before his

Saturday to attend the second
round table conference on Indian
affairs, it was announced today.
The Mahatma's decision came as
a surprise for he had refused to

the grounds that the present vice
roy, Lord Wilmington, violated the
terms of the agreement signed by
Gandhi and Lord Irwin.

grabbed up the entire supper and
aimed it at Gaines face, he said.
Her aim was good.
Exasperated beyond control,
Gaines slapped her. She retaliated,
then called the cops to request her
husband be placed in the jail house
until ne learns the proper attentions
due a wife from her husband.
Gaines told Judge j. E. Simpson,
in police court this morning, he
was not guilty of disturbing the
peace, and asked for a court trial.
His case will be heard this after
noon.

A NASTY NESS

NOTHING more dastardly has happen
~ ed in Los Angeles IN many moons
than the cowardly attempt made yester
day to retaliate upon an American cit
izen for standing by his convictions, by
throwing a bomb at the home OF Will
liam E. Weller, iuryman in The recent
Clark case.
The fact that the bomb did not eX-
plode and caused no damage. does not in
the least lessen the enormity of the Of
Tense nor decrease the need for a most
thorough investigation to ascertain who
was behind the bomb throwing.
Weller had done no wrong. had COM
mitted no crime. He took an oath to per-
form the duty of juryman and he per-
formed it well. The right of every man
to hold to his own opinion, IS invlolate.
SO long as he does not attempt to force
them upon others. Equally sacred Is his
home and family which are entitled to
the fullest protection at all times.
1t is a sad indication of the callouS-
ness of the day when an innocent man
and his equally innocent family must
live in constant fear Of their lives, mere
Nv because he has done his duty.
The belief is that the bomb was placed
at Weller's home by crank. 1t IS sur
prising the number of ''cranks' there are
of this sort Let some person disagree
with them and they are ready to use
force to show him the error OF his ways.
The incident also serves to illustrate
the position which the accused-Clark-
holds in the public mind in Los Angeles.
To many he is hero and has been from
the day he fired the shots that took the
lives of two men. The number OF votes
he received in the election for municipal
Judge and the comments of jurors fol-
lowing their dismissal clinch the state
ment that he is hero.
1t was one who believed him TO be such
who placed the bomb at Weller's house.
That there could be thousands Of these
makes ascertaining the guilty party we'll
nigh hopeless. With such cheap values
placed upon human life it will not be sur
prising if Los Angeles has few more
tragedies to deal with before long.

SEEKING ANCIENT HONORS

TUCSON and Santa Fe bid fair to join
the deadly enemy brigade which in
cludes among others, San Francisco and
Los Angeles, Portland and Seattle, Fit
Worth and Dallas, Jersey City and
Newark
Any San franciscan knows Los An
geles Is an overgrown village while to the
Angeeno San Francisco is a senile moss
back. To Portlanders, Seattle is the
place where lost souls 90 and the Seattle
folks would prefer life terms on Nc
Neil's Island. to a lifetime in Portland.
Fort Worth citizens could find
heap of satisfaction in sacking Dallas
some dark night and if the Dallas boys
could only get the chance, the prairie
dogs would bark again in the streets OF
Fort Worth. What residents of Newark
and Jersey City think of each other cam
not be printed in a family newspaper.
For years on end Santa Fe has been
accord the distinction of being the sec
ond oldest city in the United States, st.
Augustine Florida, being the oldest.
And true sons of Santa Fe can argue you
into the belief that the Florida city's
claim is a lot of claptrap.
Now comes Tucson, Arizona to claim
that is is considerably Older than Santa
Fe and that the St. Augustine claim is
not worth the breath it takes to utter it.
Tucson dates itself back to 1852, which is
going back sufficiently far to gather in
all the honors, for St. Augustine claims
1865 as the date Of its birth, while Santa
Fe residents are a little uncertain about
their city's age, placing it anywhere from
1912 to 1914.
Santa Fe and Tucson can now engage
in an endless war, and trying to convince
either of them that its cause is not just
is as hopeless as trying to sell stocks at
par these days
Common usage permits us to refer to
all cities as she. 1t is rather odd to
learn of two members of the feminine
gender laying claim to antiquity.

turn counter that will check
the turns on a coil with an
accuracy of one-tenth Of one
per cent or one in 5000 turns.
The general engineering

electromagnetic device which
will count coil turns up to TO-
900 and won't be wrong more
than four turns in that num-
ber. A coil Of known number
of coils is used as a standard
and the coil to be tested is
compared with the standard
which is tapped to provide a
choice of coils. The turn coun-
ter is based on the direct cur
