JUNIOR CHAMBER
MEETINGS TO Be
HELD IN EVENING

When the breakfast meeting of
the El Centre Junior Chamber of
Commerce adjourned at O'Clock
this morning, it was to meet again
at $50 next Wednesday night, as
the result of q decision to make
temporary change in meeting time
After considerable discussion this
morning, members of the junior
chamber voted to change from
morning to evening for the next
three meetings. Should evening
meetings prove more successful than
the morning gatherings have been,
the evening sessions will continue.
One advantage urged for the eve
ming meeting plan was that more
members of the Junior Chamber of
Commerce will turn out.
Les Wilson, chairman in charge
Of the meeting this morning, intro
duced Harry D. Adams of the Sc
curities First National bank as the
speaker. Adams talked on success
and methods of attaining it,
Luck has little to do with sue
cess" he said. I'VE fail because we
are lazy. Every one of us is lazy,
some more lazy than others"
Work is the keynote of success,
said the speaker, and went on to il
lustrate his point. His speech was
followed by enthusiastic applause.

band as guest of the organization,

ANOTHER DESERT
TRAGEDY TURNS
INTO LUDICR0US

Mystery today enshrouded The
latest addition to Sheriff George l.
Campbell's transportation unit, a
sombre brown bicycle taken into
custody six miles beyond Kane
Springs by the sheriff and two dep
uties as they combed the desert
wastes for a supposed dead man.
A hurry up telephone call TO the
sheriff's office late yesterday sent
Deputy George Evans speeding over
the road to Kane Springs, stopping
in BraWley to pick up Sheriff Camp
bell and in Westmorlaud to add
John Vivian TO the party.
An excited voice over the phone
had informed Evans chat a bicycle
had been seen ON the desert near
Kane Springs, with buzzards swoop-
ing in ominouS circles over it. The
voice was sure dead man was to
be found somewhere in the vicinity
of the bicycle.
So Evans began the wild ride
which was later joined by the sher-
iff and Vivian.
At the spot described by the re-
port, the trio stopped. Spreading
out in wide fan, they began a Sys-
tematic search of the desert. The
sheriff walked seven miles in one
direction, turned, walked two miles
and half in another, and seven
miles back. His deputies equalled
or eXcelled his pedestrian feat over
desert rocks and gravel.
About 10 give up the search in
despair, Sheriff Campbells eye was
caught by the CLINT of the sun on
some bright object 1t was the han
die of the bicycle. Triumphant, he
turned loose his AS into the air in
an explosive summons to the other
searcherS
A motorist driving sedateIy along
the highway heard the shot. The
last evidence seen of the motori5t
was little spurts Of dust as his rap
idly accelerated automobile dis
appeared in a sudden burst of speed.
Evans and Vivian came up to the
spot, not more than 200 yards from
the highway, where the bicycle was
found. embedded in driftWood in a
rain wash. A search down the wash
revealed two tires, neatly cut as if
by knife. The tires seemed almost
new. Wrapped around the frame of
the bicycle was a copy of the San
Francisco Call-Bulletin, dated Jan
uary %.
No dead man, nor any trace Of
live one, was found. The desert
gave up no fresh tracks, nor were
any buzzaros in evidence. Camp
bell later reported that he did see
one long-tailed lizard and two jack
rabbits.
The sheriff's car from now on is
a bicycle said Campbell produly. as
he viewed the salvaged machine. All
it needs is two tires, and it will be
in perfect running order, he eH-
planned.

SUMMER RATES
AGAIN OFFERED
AT BOXING CLUB

Summer prices will again prevail
and women will again be admitted
without charge TO the boxing
matches scheduled for Friday night.
The club directors have also de-
cided to return to the o'clock
opening believing the greater num-
Der OF fans prefer this to the earlier
time which was used for several
weeks.
A stirring battle is anticipated in
the main event when Young David
and Babe Adams face each other.
David scored a technical knockout
last week when Adams jumped into
the ring on short notice and in poor
condition. He tired himself out with
the hot pace set, and went to the
floor from exhaustion in the fourth
round
Up to that time the fight was
slam bang affair that had the spec
tators yelling like mad

sation here a number of years ago,

Cecil Jordan as his opponent, in the
six-round semi-final Goodrich has
had long rest and should be able
to give the fans something of the
old stuff that made him headliner
here when he was fighting previous
ly. Jordan is rated as the boy who
can make George show how good
he is.
Kid Pancho and Santiago Lujon
will be seen in the six-round spe-
cial. Pancho has had several great
fights here and he has made big
hit with the fans. He is fast, clever
and a stiff puncher who gives plenty
of action all the time he is in the
ring. Lujon is highly touted in San
Diego where he has appeared in
several bouts.
Dick Hays, the Texas cowboy,
and Louis Reyes will open the show.

matters not scheduled in the rec
ords are brought up for discussion,
which seems probable.

posed ordinance would give owners
of dogs three alternatives: To muz-
zle their dogs, vaccinate them
against rabies, or keep them con-
fined.

state senator will be read. The
senator has written j. c. Nealc, city
