A Three DAYS.
COUGH IS YOUR
DANGER SIGNAL

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsi6ed creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a
new medical discovery with two-fold ac-
ton; it soothes and heals the inflamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is recog.
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for per-
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele.
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the creosote goes
on TO the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble
and checks the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac.
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms of respira.
tory diseases. and is excellent for
building up the system after colds or
flu. Money refunded if any cough or
cold, no matter of how long standing,
is not relieved after taking according
to directions. Ask your druggist. (adv.)

POLICE WARN
RESIDENTS TO
GUARD HOMES

Apparently in the van of the long
expected wave of burglaries in Ell
Centre, a weekend crime wave to-
day caused a warning from the DO
lice department to householders to
make sure their residences are
safely secured at night and when
they are away.
DR.. r. c. Clemons, Gal Sandal
wood drive, was one victim of the
burglars. Entering the house
through an unlocked front door at
o'clock this morning, the burglar
took one shirt, some underwear. $40
in cash and $40 in checks. A bank
book was found on the lawn next
door this morning.
An attempted burglary of her
residence at 627 Wensley was re-
ported to city police this morning
by Mrs. Martin Wahl. The burgiN
Gid not enter the house, although
he attempted to do so.
Nothing was missing after a
burglar entered the house of
Howard P. Meyer at $40 Wensley
avenue, although the mouse was
ransacked. A pair of dark glasses
in a case was found where the thief
apparently had dropped them.
Maggie Brothers yesterday were
made the victims in theft of S62.40
from their office. Reporting the
theft to police, officials of the COM
pany asserted they suspected
youth who was granted the right to
go into the office to write a letter.
Immediately after he left the
money was missed.
v. G. Blanc or national City told
officers someone stole his handbag
from his car in the parking lot of
the Ell Centro hotel, Saturday night.
In the bag were shirts, a razor,

SPORTS PARADE
OFFERS VARIETY
IN T0DAY'S NEWS
By HENRY McLEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Dec. 7. U.P;-If you
feel you could use a little extra
sugar about 1888, it might not be
a bad idea to HE yourself out and
get down few wagers on the Army
football team of that year, for 1 see
by the papers where Herman Hick-
man, TenneSSee'S man-eating guard,
has been assured Of an appoint
ment to West Point and will be
drilling with the boys next year.
After year with the Plebes,
Mister Hickman will be qualified
for varsity duty. That means Army
is going to have a good team from
1888 to 1885. Just what sort of a
super-bruiser Hickman will be by
1885 and his oath birthday. I
wouldn't like to guess. Right now,
when he is just a little shaver of
225 pounds and 10 years, Hickman
is just about the most lineman I
ever saw.
At least he was bearcat against
New York university on Saturday.
And a couple of guys from Ten
nessee told me confidentially, Of
course, that Saturday Hickman
seemed sorta "off" and that I
should see him when he's feeling
right.
Personally I feel those Tennessee
guys were kidding me, for it would
be impossible for one man to do
more things than Hickman did
against the New Workers. He made
nine of every 10 Tennessee tackles.
And the ones he didn't make. he
helped make. He ran interference
like an army tank late for a date,
and opened up holes from here to
yonder for his backs. In his spare
time he knocked down passes. did
little kicking and served water
and towels during time out.
Those same Tennessee guys told
me also that down Knoxville way
there was a pronounced feeling that
Hickman and not highly publicized
Halfback Gene McEver was the
main reason for Tennessee's sue
cess. and that Hickman was the boy
who deserved All-American rating.
Having given you one tip on how
to make little sugar, I may as
we'll give you another. Tip No. 2
is to take Battling Battalino.
featherweight champion, to take Al
Singer, Friday night.
Oh, know, some very first-class
chumps have taken Battalino over
the ropes, but not when it meant
anything. Mister, when there's
something worth while at stake. the
Hartford hammerer can lay it on
for anybody's money. And the Bat
will be shooting for shot at Tony
Canzoneri's lightweight title Fri
day, and it will be just too bad for
Singer.

Fat Boys Beat
Brawley Team

To the Ell Centro Fat Boys it was
just another baseball game and
ended as most of the Fat Boys
games in the valley do, with that
team on the long end of an to l
score, and with the Brawley Inter
nationals on the short end.
Played yesterday afternoon on the
high school diamond, the contest
saw the Brawley team go scoreless
for the first eight innings, and push
over one run in the first of the
ninth.
For Ell Centro, Stark and Lee
filled the pitchers and catcher's
boxes, while Gonzales and Max
formed the unlucky Brawley bat
terieS.
The next game for the Fat Bows
has not yet been arranged, but
probably will be announced Friday

the previously unbeaten Southern
MethodistS, champions Of the

The Methodists displayed a daz-
zling passing attack the like OF
which has never before been seen
on the coast. But they were beaten
by the same valiant line stands that
turned back both Troy and the
Bears.
A dozen times the Mustangs
plunged at st. Mary's stone wall
from the one-yard line and a dozen
times they failed. Then the Gaels
unleashed their perfect play" a

he was Notre Dame scout, and his
imprisonment until after the

Injured two weeks before the
game. Hawkins was "kidded" about

coach took the joke seriously, and
Hawkins volunteered to remain in

Dixie Negro Workers Are Sad-Faced

So much rot has been written

ment' of the Negro who has to live

JUDGE. that it is refreshing to lind
person. especially a northern white
person. who can see and speak the
truth about the matter. The Negro
is not happy under oppression; ne is
not grinning and dancing and eating
watermelons, oblivious of the situa-
ton of his fellows and the threat
against his children and his chill
dren's children. The Negro is
thoughtful even when he is inlet
tered.
