It happened after the final
series with the Philadelphia AS.
The Griffs were never in such a
hilarious mood, visualizing a
worlds series and its joys.
The fun began at the Philadel-
phia station where short wait
was necessary before boarding the
special" for Washington. Buddy
Myer got a football idea in his
head and carried it out by kick
ing his straw hat around, shout
ing:
"The old football season will
be here soon, boys! Here's the
first kick off" ~ s1s
Others took up the sport. Joe
Cronin made it widespread by
snatching every straw hat in
reach. A general punting Session
lasted for several minutes.
The elimination of the football
melee found the station floor lit
tered with straw hats of all sizes,
descriptions and colors formerly
owned by Messrs. Judge, CroWdcr,
Marberry. Fischer, Brown, West,
Hadley, Bluege and others un-
fortunate enough to come within
reach during the scramble.
Then followed a series of WreSt-
linc exhibitions-samples of the
clash between Jim Londos and
Rudy Dusek at Griffith Stadium
the next night. These we're on
the train, for the Special had
arrived by that time.
Charity Victim
Patsy Charity was the victim
in these exhibitions He was
named" the referee; yMyer and
Marberry the wrestlers, and
Cronin. the timer. His yells of
Foul" will never be forgotten
as Myer. Cronin and Marberry
squeezed the life out of him.
The fun reached it's zenith
when a quartet was formed by
West, Hayes, Crowder and Mas
ters. Hayes carried the melody,
Crowder and Masters were the
bass, and West the tenor, and
just about the loudest tenor heard
in many moons.
"OId Mike Martin has a
farm" they sang. "He-yi, he
vi, no! On this farm he has
some chicks, he-yi, he-yi, hO!"
Verses upon verses of this were
sung until Mike got up and left
the car. More were sung until
the four became hoarse.
Before the trip ended the usual
card games we're in progress. The
best bit was AL Schacht'S loud
and continuous chatter boaSting
of triumphs over Walter John
son at casino. Johnson is a
wizard at this game.
"He was" Schacht claims

Chart on Speed Reveals
Peril to Motorists

In an effort to stress the dan
ger involved Of speeding motor
lists, Police Court judges yesterday
received a chart, at the instance of
Assistant Director of Traffic M.
C. Eldridge, showing in detail the
amount of time saved by excessive
speed and the corresponding stop
ping distances for an automobile
/ various speeds.
Only SO seconds, the table
shows, are saved in a mile by in
creasing the speed from 20 to Is
miles an hour, and at the same
time it increases the stopping dis
tance from 81 to SO feet for two
wheel brakes, and from 22.2 to
BAT for four-Wheel brakes. 1t
shows that only eight seconds are
saved by increasing the. speed
from As to so miles an hour, and
the stopping distance is increased
from 1873 to 232 feet for two-wheel
brakes, and from 1913 to 139 for
four-wheel brakes.

WANT TO LOOK YOUNG?

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must
watch your liver and bowels-there's
no need of having a sallow com
plexion dark rings under your eyes
-pimpIes-a bilious look in your
face dull eyes with no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per
cent Of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known ply.
sician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable
comnuund as a substitute for 1alo.
mel to act on the liver and bowels,
which he gave to his patients for
years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are
gentle in their action yet always
effective. They help bring about
that natural buoyancy which all
should enjoy by toning> up the liver
and clearing the system Of impur
tiles.

and individuality is evident here as

Penmanship at Wilson school
comes in for great deal of atten-
ton, and results of the work are eX-
hibited with pride. Folders with
dated samples of classwork provide
an opportunity for pupils to check
their own improvement. The i'm
provement shown within a few
weeks often is remarkable.
Attending a music class is most
interesting, as here the actual in
struction and the following of in
struction may be observed in brief
visit.
Art displays never fail to aston
ish those who are not familiar with
schools and the work done there.
Work Made Interesting
In the social studies, the effect
and importance of events are stres-
sed. The pupil is not forced to
memorize dates and data on the i'm
portance of which he has but a dim
idea.
AL OllC Ddl lllolOly ClsiSo tllC
1891 edition of Rogo and Merden-
hall lesson books are being studied
at present. These books bring his
tory down to date and make his
torical events intimate and under
standable to the youthful mind.
AS means of creating under
standing of other arts of the world,
one class is writing letters to resi-
dents of various foreign countries.
Some of the letters must be trans
lated and thus an interest in for
eign language is developed.
Arithmetic classes are entirely
different from those of song and
story. The learning of arithmetic
is not the burden it used to be.
While it is businesslike process,
there is imagination to be found
even in the mastery Of fractions.
English classes here mean some
thing more than reading the clas-
sizes, and provide training in the
appreciation of the best the world
of literature. has to offer. Reading
is stressed as a privilege and ne
cessity to happiness, not duty.
1t is in the Wilson school cafe
terra where all the food for other
elementary schools in Ell Centro is
prepared. Hundreds of hot lunches
are served daily, no one dish being
priced in excess of five cents. The
visitor who drops In at luncheon
time will note that young appetites
need encouragement in very few
instances.
Watching the children at Wilson
on the recreation grounds is one of
the highlights of visit there. Su-
pervised play plus childish enthu-
siasm create some fascinating
games.
Visitors are asked to register as

Much Interest
In Hog Raising

Hog raising as one of the valleys
major industries is being revived In
Imperial Valley, many farmers be-
coming interested in the raising and
of hogs, according to a
statement by Virgil Patterson, rep
resentative of the Holmes livestock
of Los Angeles, and the
first man to go into the hog business
in Imperial Valley.
The fact that large quantities CT
grain suitable for hog raising are
grown IN the county and since the
export demand is no longer heavy,
he farmer can obtain cheap food
for his hogs. Moreover there has
been shortage in hog production
according to A. B. Miller, head of
the Fontana Farms, and with grain
and alfalfa available, and with a
surplus of milk. ne declares condi-
tions are excellent for pork produc-
ton.
According to Patterson, there has
been quite a marked increase in the
purchase of hogs and the industry
is growing in this county.

ported by I. A. Thomas, superin-
tendent in charge of this division.
The Hazard contract, between
Kane Springs aid Oasis, is moving
ahead steadily and "hot stuff" as
the asphaltum dressing is known, is
being poured on this section of paw
ing.
Over four miles of half-paving
has been completed on the Griffith
contract near Westmorland. The
contractors are laying the pavement
half width at a time in order not
to interrupt traffic. When one side
has been completed for a desirable
distance, the work proceeds on the
other side.
Grading has been nearly complet-
ed on the Notwithstanding dis
tance, drainage has been installed
and the work is a:fnost in readiness
to start paving.
The Algodones contract, east of
the sandhills on the Yuma high
way, is 20 per cent complete and
will be pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible.
Work has started on the under
pass near Coyote Wells and engi-
neers are now surveying the San
Diego highway from Dixieland west
TO Coyote Wells, preparatory to
widening that part of the route.

Moisture Needed.
BIZ United Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.--General pre-
cipitation throughout the country
was halted today by falling tenn
peratures which terminated also a
winter cheat" wave in the middle
west.
Predictions were, however. that
the lower temperatures would pre-
vail only for short time and would
provide no more than a lull in a
winter which thus far has been one
of the mildest on record.
Rain, which varied from showers
to downpours in the various areas
and which began in many sections
Friday night, stopped Sunday in
most places.
Enough moisture fell, it was said,
to improve greatly conditions in
southern Illinois, Indiana and Ken

famines, but many more days of
rainy weather would be necessary
to bring conditions back to nor

Ia legislature
so Years Ago
BY United Press


Simpli1cation of control and
management Of three state
schools, as well as economy in
maintenance, was one Of the
problems confronting legislators
in 1881. The schools involved
were the University of Purdue and
Indiana university and State Nor
NAL college.
At that time, the schools were
fairly small and many legislators
believed that they could be main
tanned more cheaply if consoli-
dated.
With this in mind, Senator D. j.
Heron introduced a resolution
providing that the committee on
education be instructed to make
inquiry as to the .propriety and
practicability of consolidating all
Of the educational institutions Of
the state under one management
and at the same place"
