HOLD-UP REPORTS
PROVE PUZZLINC
TO AUTHORITIES

From all indications there was at
least one holdup somewhere in In-
perial Valley last night. According
TO a report left by some unknown
person on the desk of the night Off
Ger in Imperial, it was holdup
complicated by burglary and car
theft.
The report was relayed to the
sheriff's office, where deputies have
puzzled over it since. The report
in full follows:
"Holdup, burglary and stolen car,
A. j. johnson, age SO, blue shirt,
dark Completed, short build. Buick
roadster, Nevada license, number
not known, gray color, scar Oh left
forearm"
How the roadster could have o
scar on the left forearm is another
matter puzzling officers.
Another report, probably OF the
same supposed holdup, was that
somewhere, some place, at about
o:30 last night, two tall men and
one short man In a sedan pulled q
stick-up job The report further
stated that there might have been
five men in the car. Who was held
up still remains a mystery.

exact reproduction of Old Soils best
effort, has been perfected by light
ing experts SO that the porcelain
sides of the American homemaker's
electric refrigerator will be as per-
fectly matched as her finest set of
dishes.
BY blending clear and colored in
candescent lamps the experts have
created daylight department in
the mile long Frigidaire factory
here, which is Illuminated with the
best quality of daylight regardless
of the weather. Constant daylight
was necessitated when Frigidaire
announced that in the future these
electric refrigerators would be fin
ished in snow white porcelain on
steel. This cleaning finish, it is
said, will blend with any kitchen
color scheme.
Three coats Of porcelain are
baked onto the steel sides of the
new Frigidaires at heat of 1000
degrees Fahrenheit When the last
coat is fused into the steel panels,
the panels pass along production
line beneath the artificial daylight.
There trained eyes match the pan
els. Any departure from the snowy
color is quickly detected and the
panel is removed from production.
Flint hard and having the ap-
pearance of glass, this porcelain
on-steel finish is extremely durable.
The scraping of pans and dishes
across the flat service shelf top will
not mar it, dirt and even ink and
crayon marks can be erased with
few strokes of a damp cloth. Like
the mechanical unit of these refrig-
orators. the finish is guaranteed for
three years. The interior is just as

on the Holtville road when he saw
horse running full tilt down the
road, only hackamore about its
head and apparently running away.
Quick was riding the animal.
The horse, instead of turning to
avoid the automobile, met it head
on. Quick was catapulted forward,
and struck the ground with re-
sounding thud, suffering minor
bruises and scratches. The horse
was also scratched considerably.
The front tenders and top of the
automobile were damaged, although
Bluett neglected to say how the top
was involved in the accident. First
