DEERING URGES
STATE PARK IN
DESERT SECTION

At the Ell Centro Chamber of
Commerce luncheon yesterday, Tam
Deering, of San Diego, addressed
the membership on the possibilities
Of making Borego Palms Canyon,
or One Thousand Palms Canyon
state park site. Deering is the
secretary of the San Diego City
and County Park and Beaches as
sociation. The speaker described
the beauties of the four canyons
in that region, some with sheer
walls, other sloping hills and all
with palms and running water,
making unusual scenery for a desert
territory. The canyons are situated
in San Diego county, extending in
to Riverside county, about 80 miles
from Kane Springs.
Explaining the lack of state
parks in California, Deering point
ed out that, until the recent legis-
lation appropriating state money
to assist counties in park projects.
there were but five state parks in
this state, totaling but $4,000 acres
and all in the northern part of Cal
ifornia, while New York state has
2,150,000 acres of state parks, al
though only one-half the size of
California. Deering believed that
the Borego Park site might become
eventually q national park as the
palms growing in these canyons are
the only native palms in the Unit
ed States, having adapted them
selves to mountain growth and
desert conditions gradually from
their natural habitat on the shores
of the sea which formerly covered
this area.
Deering suggested that the Bor-
ego Park site could become q state
park through the action of Imper-
ial county and that the state would
equal the amount raised by Imper-
ial county to improve this area and
the approaches to it.
Members of the board of directors
of the Federated Women's clubs Of
Imperial county were present at
yesterdays luncheon, headed by
Mrs. A. 3. Hanson, president of the
federation, who introduced the var
ious members Al Smith, former
resident of Ell Centro was a visitor
and Major Shoup of Pasadena, rep
resenting the chamber of commerce
of that city, invited the El Centre
chamber and county organizations
to participate in the annual Tourn-
ament of Roses, which this year
will be of international scope.

Stubborn Coughs
Ended by Recipe,
Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which
millions of housewives have found to
be the most dependable means of break
ing up a stubborn, lingering cough. 1t
takes but a moment to prepare and
costs little, but it gives real relief even
for those dreaded coughs that follow
severe cold epidemics.
From any druggist, get 21a ounces of
Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup or strained honey. Thus you make
full pint of better remedy than you
could buy ready-made for three times
the cost. 1t never spoils and tastes so
good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture
soothe and heal the infamed throat
membranes with surprising ease, but
also it is absorbed into the blood, and
acts directly upon the bronchial tubes,
thus aiding the whole system in throw
ing off the cough. It loosens the germ
laden phlegm and eases chest soreness
in a way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent Of creosOte, in
a refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful in
cases Of distressing coughs, chest colds,
and bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

QUAKES TRACED
To VOLCANOES
BENEATH SEA

BERLIN, Feb. 9-Erupting vol
canoes at the bottom Of the At.
lantic Ocean near Iceland are
responsible for the earthquakes
registered throughout the world
for which no explanation hitherto
has been found.
The submerged cones are part
of a vast range of mountains
stretching from Iceland to Ant.
arctica and sometimes reaching
the height of the Andes.
Many Discoveries Made
This is but one of the start
Hing announcements of Prof. A.
Defiant, head of the Berlin In
stitute of Deep Sea Research. 1t
is the result of a two-and-a-half'
year cruise of the Atlantic, car
ried out by the institute with the
steamer Meteor. placed at its dis
posal by the German govern
ment.
The Meteor travelled from the
Arctic to the Antarctic oceans,
crossing the Atlantic 13 times in
Zig-zag course, and covering a
distance u + f C ie n t to circum-
navigate the world three times.
More than 10000 soundingS of the
ocean depths were made.
Continents May Change
Discoveries were also made that
lead Defiant to the belief that the
present position of the continents
may not always remain the same.
He said:
"An examination of the soil
at the oceans bottom revealed
that it is made up of entirely
different matter than the soil of
Europe or the American con-
tinentS.
"ThiS, 1 think, is striking
proof of Prof. Wegener's theory
that the American continents
were once joined to Europe and
Africa and later, through some
phenomena, drifted apart. There
is to my mind no reason for
believing this cannot happen
again."
The expedition made careful
calculations of the salt percentage
of the Atlantic at different depths,
concluding that differences in the
salt content at various levels, and
not differences of the waters
temperature. we're responsible for
the oceans undercurrentS.
ExpIOdes Gold Theory
Defiant also AYERS that the gold
content of the Atlantic's waters
has been greatly overestimated
and that, in his opinion, the
extraction of the precious metal
will never be profitable.
Another member of the ex-
pedition, DR.. George Wuest. de-
clared untenable the theory that
a wall built from Cuba to Flor
ida could divert the course Of
the Gl1lf Stream from the north
