Cars Offered At
Real Low Price

John D. Leja this morning paid
a 50 fine because he did not have
1881 license plates on an automo-
bile he offered to sell for SIPS.
Leja explained to Judge I. May
field that he bought three old au-
tomobiles from the county for Sc,
with the intention of making one
good car out of the lot. He was
trying out the car in question when
arrested by state traffic officer,
said Leja. He explained that he
had intended to use one car as the
basis for the rejuVenated product,
and stated that he would sell the
car on which he was fined for SIPS.
Two other defendants appeared
in traffic court this morning.
Charges of failing to have 1881 Ii
cense plates, lodged against r. A.
Greer, were dismissed when it ap-
peared that the car in question had
been junked. Ben Y. Murata paid
a 50 fine for failing to make a
boulevard stop.

More Testimony
In Oswald Case

Defense testimony yesterday af-
ternoon and today marked trial OF
George H. Oswalds suit against the
city of FL Centre for damages said
to have resulted when the city took
over paving machinery owned by
Oswald, obtaining a lease on the
property as surety in granting Os-
wald an extension of time in which
to complete a paving contract.
Otto Wortenweiler, member of q
well known machinery firm, was on
the stand yesterday afternoon and
this morning as a defense witness,
testifying to the value of the paw
ing plant and machinery taken
over by the city.
With testimony for the plaintiff
concluded except for rebuttal, and
with the defendants case rapidly
nearing a close, it is probable that
the damage action will end this af-
ternoon or tomorrow morning.
Judge L. N. Turrentine of San Di-
ego is presiding over the trial.

MOST FOODS TASTE
BETTER IF COOKED
IN SMALL AMOUNTS
Same is True of Hills Bros.
Coffee, Which is Never
Roasted in Bulk

When food is cooked in small
quantities, the mixing, the appli-
cation of heat, can be controlled
with much more exactness. An
omelet, for example, made of three
eggs will turn out more tender ana
fluffy than one made of many eggs.
A similar situation occurs in
roasting coffee. When roasted in
bulk it is impossible to control the
heat exactly. Some of the batch,
therefore, is overdone and some
underdone. AS a result there is a
variation in flavor.
In the invention of Controlled
Roasting, Hills Bros. found the way
to insure an even roast in their fine
blend of coffee. Only a few pounds
at time are roasted by this pat
ented, continuous process. When
the roasting is finished a uniformly
delicious flavor has been developed
such as no other coffee has.
When you buy Hills Bros. Coffee
it is always fresh because it is
packed in vacuum. By this process,
air, which destroys the flavor of
coffee, is taken from the can and
kept out. Ordinary cans, even if
air-tight, do not keep coffee fresh.
Grocers everywhere sell Hills Bros.
Coffee. Ask for it by name and
look for the Arab on the can.

Declares Wife
Threatened Life

Charging that his wife several
times threatened to kill him by poiS-
oning, and that she once stabbed
him in the face with butcher
knife when he interfered as she was
about to strike their child over the
head with a chair, Ira Paxton to-
day filed suit for divorce from Bes-
sic Edna Paxton, asking an inter-
locutory decree of divorce, custody
Of the child and all community
property, valued at approximately
s4,500.
Paxton further charged that his
wife left him several times, and af-
ter she had returned refused to tell
him the reason for her absence,
telling him it was none of his bus
iness. She continually nagged at
him, and charged him with infidel-
ity, he asserted.
His wife stabbed him twice in the
face, Paxton said, when he caught
the chair she had raised TO strike
the child over the head The child
had thrown a piece of apple at her,
said the complaint.

Village Cut-Up
In CalabOOse

A noble effort to maintain western
tradition ended in the county Jail
for Leonardo Rivera, 3S, last night,
for officers seem to have little re-
gard for tradition and more regard
for statute books.
Rivera was booked on a charge Of
being drunk and possessing a gun.
Sheriff George L. Campbell this
morning told the story Of how Ri
vera entered the town of Westmor-
land last night, took one look about,
and proceeded to celebrate in good
fashioned style.
One detail was overlooked by the
Mexican-he used an automatic in
stead of a six-shooter to send lead
flying into the air. But the result
and the sound was the same, so the
night watchman in Westmorland
arrested Rivera.
Sheriff Campbell and Deputy
George Evans brought the prisoner
to the county Jail. The automatic
was taken away from him, and the
prisoner retired to cell to continue,
if he wished, his lone celebration.

Cars Stalled On
CalexicO Route

More than 80 trucks and tanks
begged down in the sand caused a
traffic tieup three miles west OF
Midway Wells on the Midway Wells
Calexico highway last night.
Heavy traffic is not permitted to
go east today and passenger cars
are routed over the detour on the
Holtville highway, it is explained by
the Automobile club of Southern
California.
The highway is expected to be
cleared some time today after a
caterpillar tractor pulls the trucks
and tanks out.
Heavy traffic is said to have cut
the highway, and in attempting TO
pass, the trucks became embedded
in the sand up to the hub caps.
Some of the automobiles avoided
delay by driving off the highway
around the congestion.

Seeks Again To
Annul Divorce

In an effort to reopen an old
issue. Estella N. Veghte yesterday
afternoon filed notice OF. intention
to move the court to set aside an
interlocutory decree OF divorce
granted Earl B. Veghte by default.
The motion was filed in the coun-
ty clerks office. The matter will
be heard by Judge Vaughn N.
Thompson OF the superior court Fri
day morning.
This motion by Mrs. Veghte is
identical with another filed some
time ago, which opened a fight to
set aside the default divorce. The
legal battle finally ended when
Judge Thompson ruled that the di-
yorce should stand.
Mrs. Veghte contended that she
had been forced to remain away
from the court room on the date
set for trial of her husbands di-
yorce suit.

Sauerkraut Valuable
Addition to Diet

Sauerkraut has been found to make
valuable contribution to the diet
In fact, sauerkraut juice is used as
an appetizer and featured on the
menus of many well-known restau-
rants. AS with cabbage in other
forms, the old-fashioned way of cook
Ing sauerkraut was to boil it for sew
eral hours. Unfortunately this meth
cd of preparation destroys the very
things for which the sauerkraut is
valuable. The bureau of home eco
nomics Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture suggests the fol-
lowing recipe for preparing savory
Sauerkraut to eat with ham, corned
beef or other meats.

Heat the fat in q skillet until gold
en- brown, and add the sauerkraut and

to separate the kraut. Cover and cook

Many people think the meat OF a
shoulder of lamb is just as tender
and quite as delicious in flavor as the
les or am other part. The shoulder
is not so easy TO carve as the leg,
owing TO the irregular shape and Gen.
trail position Of the shoulder blade.
This difficulty about carving is easily
met, says the bureau of home econ
Omics. Select a shoulder of lamb
weighing from to pounds. Have
the butcher remove all the bones, as
well as the fell, or outer papery COW
ering of skin. The bones lay be
saved for making soup. The shoulder
may then be stuffed, and either left

Sprinkle the inside of the pocket with
