MOTION PICTURE
OF FORD PLANT
HERE SATURDAY

A sound motion picture graphic
ally portraying the story of the
Ford Motor Company and its wide
spread activities will be exhibited
free of charge in a special Ford
exhibit to be held at Edgar Broth
ers Ford store at Fourth and
Main streets, on Saturday, March
IA. The show will be open to the
public from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m.
The picture, entitled "A Tour
Through the Ford Factory will
show the gathering of raw mater
ials, their arrival at the Rouge
Plant in Dearborn. Mich, and the
numerous interesting stages
through which they pass in the
process of makinls Ford cars and
trucks. 1t is, in short, an educa-
ton in the extent and meaning of
modern volume production.
While an unseen voice explains
each scene. the audience is taken
on tour of the plant, through the
great blast furnace building where
ore is converted into iron; into
the open hearth building where the
iron becomes steel and is poured
white hot liquid, into moulds;
into the blooming mill where the
steel ingotS are made into bars;
and into the rolling mill in which
the long bars of white hot steel
are reduced to definite sizes. Forty
kinds of steel, each of a compos-
ition to serve a definite purpose

truck.
Many Novel Scenes
The picture shows also the man.
ufacture of glass in an endless
unbroken strip, a process developed
by Ford engineers; the machine
shops in which parts for the car
are manufactured; the pressed
steel building with its gigantic
presses; and the coke ovens and
other units in which y-products
are recovered to the extent of mil
lions of dollars annually.
Throughout the picture one sees
literally miles and miles of convey.
ors which take much of the man.
ual labor off the backs of men
There are conveyors carrying new.

others taking parts from one build
ing to another, and, of course, thu

conVeyor on which the parts ar,
put together to form the completed

Scenes that attended the stormy
session of the Democratic National
Committee in Washington when the
liquor question was brought up by
Chairman John J. RaskOb are pic
tured here.
The group above is an informal
pose of the "big four" of the con-
ference: AL Smith, titular head of
the party, Chairman RaskOb, Ex-
ecutive Chairman Jewett Shouse,
and former Governor James NJ. Cox
Of Ohio, 1920, presidential candi-
date. They look quite calm here,
even if the meeting was far from
that.
At right are shown Chairman
Raskob and Jewett ShOuse opening
the meeting, which led TO acrid dis
cussion of the problems facing the
party. Observe the pictures of

NEW BULLETIN GIVES RESULTS
OF CANTALOUPE MILDEW TESTS

be repeated several times before the
crop is harvested. Applications OF
10 to Is pounds of finely ground or
sublimed sulphur per acre should
be made at two-week intervals.
Very small quantities of sulphur
applied as dusts or sprays caused
too severe injury to be recommends
ed for use on commercial cantaloupe
varieties grown under Imperial VAL
ley conditions.
Dry copper dusts proved fungici-
daily inactive and hence OF no value
in controlling powdery mildew. Bor-
deaux sprays gave only partial con-
troll. Other liquid sprays applied
proved to be either injurious or in
effective.
Application of sulphur 10 the sur
face of the soil as control measure
for the disease has been tried ex-
tensiVely. Positive evidence of MIL
dew control by this means is lacking.
Fled trials have shown that severe
sulphur injury may result from
heavy applications made during Pc
RODS of strong prevailing winds of
common occurrence in March, April
and May.
One year. IS trial of sulphur and of
inorganic fertilizers drilled into the
soil gave no evidence that these ma
terials influenced the susceptibility
or resistance of cantaloupe plants to
the disease.
Too frequent or excessive irriga-
ton of heavy soils or those having
poor surface or sub-surface drain
age should be avoided Less frequent
or lighter applications of water will
supply sufficient moisture to the
plants and will allow the soil sur
face to dry between irrigations.
Brush and paper Windbreaks. If
used, should be placed near the ridge
OF the cantaloupe beds and should
be removed as soon as the "crown
set' melons are we'll developed. :

WORK ON LOCAL
MEMORIAL Home,
TO START SOON

Construction work on El Centros
Veterans Memorial Home will start
Immediately, according to an an
nouncement made yesterday after
noon, when P. A. Murray's S26, $3.50
contract for the building was filed
in the county recorders office.
At the same time the general
contract, let to Murray, was filed,
the plumbing and electrical con-
tracts were also made a matter of
record. Earl Fite has contracted
to do the plumbing work for the
new hall, while II. M. Harmon will
handle electrical installation.
Murray, it is understood, has
already secured materials neces-
sary to construction of the build
ing, and is only awaiting compile
ton of excavation for the basement
until starting work on the actual
building The excavation is in the
hands of the county, since the
basement will be used as a county
garage.
Work of excavation has been in
the hands of the county chain
gang. II is almost completed.

After making more than 600 field
plot trials in the study of cantaloupe
poWdery mildew in the Imperial
Valley, the University of California
College of Agriculture has published
a report on it's findings, in Bulletin
507 This bulletin was written by
P. A Miller research assistant in
pathology The publication may be
secured free by writing the College
of Agriculture at Berkeley or from
the farm advisor IS office, FL Centro.
After an exhaustive discussion OF
the disease and causes, the writers
summarize their finding as to con-
troll. as follows:
AS soon as the crops are harvested
from fields of cantaloupes, squash,
cucumbers and other susceptible
plants, the vines should be plowed
under and these fields, as well as
ditch banks, waste areas and land
near field packing sheds, should
thereafter be kept clear of volun-
teer vines.
Thorough dusting of squash fields
will keep them practically free of
mildew. Dusting should begin be-
fore the disease appears and should

fire SIREN TO
STOP SOUNDING
DAILY HOURS

No longer will the hours, s, IL and
5 be announced by two blasts OF the
fire whistle as it was decided to dis
continue the practice by city coun-
cilmen and Fire Chief Tom Reams
at last nights council meeting.
sThe whistle has announced these
hours daily except Sundays slnct
1922 but complaints have been re.
| ceived lately and it was thought bes
to discontinue the alarms indetl-
nitely,' Chief Reams said today
eve will not sound the alarms ano
see what people think about it. The
department will do what the people
desire.''
In the future when the whistle
blows it means there is a fire.
The department received many
inquiries today when the alarms die
not sound as usual. II anyone was
late to work. the lacking whistles
must have been to blame.

boards containing car and truck
parts.
The cars alone are we'll worth
a visit for they include body types
to suit any taste and to meet any
occasion. Particularly attractive
are the de luxe cars in which up
holstery appointments are of kind
and quality usually found in more
expensive automobiles.
All the body types are featured
by the Ford's new beauty of line
and color. The deep radiator, the
wide generous tenders, and the
graceful sweeping lines of the
bodies contribute to pleasing
whole. The cars may be obtained
in a variety of color combinations.
