Fahs Attending
Furniture Meet

AS means of becoming familiar
with the latest developments in fur
nishings for the home, j. r. Fahs,
head furniture buyer for all the
Imperial Valley Hardware stores, is
attending the furniture market in
Los Angeles this week.
Next Monday he will go to San
Francisco to attend the furniture
market there.
He expressed himself as being
particularly interested in the mar
kets this year as every season sees
better grade of furniture being
used in the homes of Imperial Val
ley. Since the 40 per cent decline
in prices during the last two years,
the modest income can afford
better grade.
An official statement from the re-
search department of the depart
ment of commerce carries the in
formation that furniture prices are
lower this year than they have been
at any time since 1918. for this rea-
son. Fahs feels that his purchases
this year will be Of particular in
terest to all valley residents.

DOUGHNUTS ARE ~
BETTER IF COOKED
\ A.FEW At A Time
Likewise Coffee Has More
Delicious Flavor When
Roasted in Small Lots

Experience shows that if too
many doughnuts are put into the
hot fat at once, the cooking process
is hindered. The temperature of
the fat is reduced and the dough-
nuts become greasy.
A similar situation occurs when
coffee is roasted in bulk. 1t is diff
cult to apply the heat evenly, and
as result some of the coffee
berries may be overdone and some
underdone. Such variation in the
roast causes disappointing varia-
tion in flavor.
Hills Bros. overcame this by in
venting and patenting a process
Controlled Roasting-that roasts
every coffee berry evenly. With
automatic control of heat and speed
Of operation, few pounds at a
time pass through the roasters.
Uniformity of roast and unequaled
flavor is the result.
Hills Bros. Coffee is always fresh
when you buy it because it is packed
in vacuum. This process takes air,
which destroys the flavor of coffee,
from the can and keeps it out.
Coffee will not stay fresh in or
binary cans, even if air-tight. Gro
rers everywhere sell Hills Bros.
Coffee. Ask for it by name and look
for the Arab on the can.

porch of a neighbor and sent
across the street to the Hall

AS the family gathered around,
Naomi removed the gay wrapping
and took off the top Of what
seemed to be a large box Of
candy.
Mrs. John Hall, the mother, had
an eye blown out and Leslie and
Thomas Hall we're manned for life.
Suspicion was directed to the
Brady brothers, and they were
taken into custody for question
ing. At the time it was denied
that Herman and Naomi were
married.
Metal Bits Found
1t was discovered, however, that
they had been married at Fairfax

Pieces of metal found in the
bomb resembled that found in the
shop where Leroy, an automobile
mechanic, was employed. It was
pointed out that Leroy previously

In defense it was claimed that
Leroy was not angry at the mar
riage of Naomi and his brother.
In fact, he was happy about it
and had loaned the couple money
to start housekeeping.

HOOVER-SENATE

what the President planned to do
with the court and because here
tofore, he has never committed
himself with regard to a special
session of the Senate alone after
March 4, Senate leaders have not
strained themselves to speed up
the appropriation measures.
Their theory was that they saw
no need for undue haste if Mr.
Hoover was planning to hold
them here on the world court
anyway.
But now that Mr.. Hoover has
yielded to their insistence against
a world court session, it is ex-
pected the leaders will step on
the acceIeratOr and push the sup
ply bills to completion, thus re-
moving the only real excuse for
calling the new Seventy-secOnd
Congress into session before June
30.
Thirty-three legislative days re
main in this lame duck" Con-
gress. There are II supply bills
to enact. None of them has yet
been passed in final form, al
though the House has acted on
seven of them and the Senate on
four. Conference committees are
engaged in ironing out the diff
ferences.
Little Work Seen
Thus it appeared today that
there is only the barest Of out
side chances there will be spe-
cial session Of the new Congress
at once. 1t also appeared that
the present lame-duck session is
going to accomplish little in the
life yet remaining to it except
pass the supply bills, and perhaps
the $25,000,000 drought relief
funds which the Administration
is trying to block.
AS for other legislation, the
Howell "bOne-dry" bill for the
National Capital may squeeze
through, but the outlook for addi-
tiOnal legislation is not bright.
The Norris Muscle Shoals bill
is languishing in conference, the
Wagner unemployment bills are
dawdling along, and although
there is a lot of agitation for
cashing veterans adjusted COM
pensation certificates at once
there is scant hope of action in
the brief time yet remaining.
Vets Fight Bill
The vets are bitterly opposing
the Howell bill on general prin-
cipleS. The general feeling on
Capitol Hill is, however, that it
does not matter much whether
it is passed or not. The opinion
is general that in the first test
before the Supreme Court it will
be knocked out as unconStitu
t!onaI. The high court recently
established a precedent for such
action.
Mr.. Hoover faces an anxious
five weeks while Congress rumbles
and roars to its constitutional
death on March 4. But his agree.
ment not to summon a special
session of the Senate alone after
March 4 will do much to ease the
Administrations position during
the remainder Of the hostilities.
