Imperial Valley residents join
members Of the Imperial County
Fair Commission In a feeling Of
pride that the second annual fair
will be opener by Governor James
Rolph, Jr., who graciously accepted
the invitation extended to him by
the fair commission.
There is no doubt that the pop

elsewhere in the state. is equally
sincere and strong in Imperial

with favor on all sides.
From office boy to governor OF
the state Of California Is a record
of which any man may well be
proud and which few may claim,
but this is the right of James Rolph,
Jr., California IS new governor.
His history is identified with the
history of San Francisco in which
city he was born in August of 1859,
and which he headed as mayor for
20 consecutive years, his popularity
and reputation increasing with
each year.
Born and reared in the famous
Mission district of San Francisco
which is still his home. Rolph was
educated in Trinity college from
which he graduated in 1888. He be-
gan his career as office boy in a
shipping concern, and from then on
his rise was consistent and steady.
He first attracted public attention
with his efficient handling of relief
work after the great fire of 1906 and
from then on his political career
kept step with his commercial ca
reer.
For five terms, beginning in 1911
he served his city as mayor, and
during that time he also became
identified with prominent banking
and shipping industries. Among
his many notable acts as mayor,
Rolph Is famous for his activities
in connection with the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition of 1915. his aid in
the establishment of an adequate
water supply. improvement in street
planning, the building of the famous
civic center, the aid extended to
municipal corporations and the
street railways in particular. and
the furtherance of school projects.

Valley will honor the opening day
of the fair and whom the citizens
are proud to welcome as their gov

governor of the Northern District of
Baja California.
Governor Tejada, recent ap-
pointce to the governorship. has
had little opportunity since assum-

warm welcome. not only from the
people of Imperial Valley but from

| sion. presenting evidence Of many
deaths caused by failure to stop
before crossing railways, is request
ing all cities to aid through en-
forcement in obtaining greater obe-
dience to Sec. ia of the vehicle
act.
Reports of railroads indicate that
many accidents could be prevented
if motorists would stop before cross
ing railway tracks when an auto
matte or human signal is being
given.
On the Pacific Electric lines alone
it is reported, there were 3l2 We
nicular accidents at crossing pro-
tected by wig-wags from January /
to November 80 last year 1t is be-
lieved that a majority of these ac-
cidents could have been avoided if
the victim driver had simply OBJ
served the law requiring a stop be-
fore crossing in face of an operat-
ing signal. Instead of doing this,
many drivers continue onto the
track. passing a wig-wag signal in
motion without making stop, and
are consequently struck by the ap-
preaching train or car.
Records of the Southern Pacific
railway show several recent cases
where accidents resulted by nonob-
servance of Sec. ia in that the
driver drove by moving wig-wag
without making stop, which acci-
dents, according to railway officials,
would undoubtedly have been pre-
vented had the driver made the
brief stop required by law.

DISREGARD OF TRAFFIC
SIGNALS CAUSES DEATHS

Many lives snuffed out in rail-
road-crossing accidents would be
saved if motorists obeyed the state
law requiring them to stop their
cars when signaled to do SO, ac-
cording to statement of the pub
lie safety department of the Auto
mobile Club of Southern California
relative to recent appeal of the
state railroad commission.
Whenever a mechanical signal or
human flagman gives warning of
the immediate approach of rail-
way train or car, Sec. ia of the
state motor vehicle act declares it
unlawful for the driver OF any We
hicle to fail to bring it to a COM
plete stop within so feet, but not
closer than 10 feet of the nearest
railway tracks before traversing
such grade crossing.
Traffic officers of the state are
vigorously enforcing this provision
of the law at the present time, as
a result of the great number of fatal
accidents which have occurred due
to it's violation.
Motorists are particularly urged
to obey by stopping when wig-wag
or human signals are operating,
not only for their own physical pro-
lection, but to save themselves pos
sible arrest and fine. It is pointed
out by the motoring organization
that the provisions of Sec. ia are
very reasonable. The law does not
require the vehicle to stay stopped,
but only to stop before proceeding
when a wig-wag is operating.

KEEPS LOCKS WORKING

That some locks on automobile
doors go through an entire lifetime
without more than an occasional
drop or two of light oil is tribute to
the quality of the materials used
in them. Such locks, however,
would give better service if they
were taken off at least once a
year and thoroughly fabricated.
The expense is fully justified, those
who have tried it believe.

Subdivision Plan
Gets Endorsement

Plans for subdivision between
State and Olive streets and New
and Second streets were approved
by the city planning commission
during regular meeting last night.
The plans were approved subject
to a few minor changes. F. T. Mar
tin of San Diego is the sponsor of
the subdivision, and appeared before
the commission last night.
No other business was discussed
by the planning commission at its
meeting last night.
The Benton district, Oregon,
grew $500 acres of apeas in 1880,
which sold for 100000.

LEAVE NOZZLE ALONE

1t is great deal easier to wash
the car with hose if the nozzle is
left off entirely. The nozzle, re-
gardless of the setting used, gives
the water greater pressure than
II 1t is allowed to flow unrestricted
from the end of the hose. AS little
pressure as possible is the desir-
able thing. Besides. the task of
car washing is less messy if the
nozzle is removed from the hose.

LEARN 1T BOTH WAYS

1t helps to know the two methods
of holding the car at standstill
while waiting on an upgrade for
a change in the traffic signal. One
is to use the hand brake; the other
to use the hand throttle to feed
fuel to the engine. In case one
uses the hand brake to hold the car
he can feed gas in the normal way.
However, by using the hand throt-
tie he can use his right foot on
the service brake.

Effective Control

Of late years corrosive sublimate (mercuric chloride) has become the standard remedy. This poison, in the form of white crystalline powder, may be purchased at most drug stores. To prepare the solu- tion, dissolve one ounce in small amount of hot water. Use wood, StoneWare or glass vessel only Then dilute with cold water to 10 gallons-never less than eight. For cabbage and cauliflower apply one half teacupful of the solution to each plant. If a slight depression is made around the stalk less of the liquid will be wasted. The ob- ject is to soak the ground imme- .diately surrounding the plant. No injury will be done to the plant, but the maggot feeding on the poisoned tissues will be killed.
 To treat radish or turnip use "a can With a spout and pour the liquid slowly along the row. Hold the spout close to the ground so as not to wet the foliage.
 When to Apply
 At least two applications are necessary with the radish, the first just before the roots begin to swell and the second week later Sometimes a third will be neces-

sary if the crop is slow in matur- ing.
 Cabbage should be treated with in few days after tranSplanting to hte garden and again in a week or 10 days. In either case first treatment may be withheld if careful observation fails to detect the presence of flies or eggs.
 Caution
 Corrosive sublimate is violent poison. It should be handled with extreme care The solution should be kept covered or better still, in closed containers and away from children and animals. The best way is to make up only the amount that is needed at once, thus leav- ing none to be put away and for gotten

ROOT MACCOT
 CONTROL |S SET
 FORTH CLEARLY
MANY SEWARD GARDENERS
 HAVE COMPLAINED,

ana OGIlClS AioSA N ~ AAAe"0A>e~ Horticulture, the following article on Root Maggot Control by Pro- lessor George w. Gasser, Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, cooperating with the U s. Department of Agriculture, is pub lished verbatim:
 Description of Insects
 Root maggots are the larva of "a small. winged fly, one quar- ter inch long, or about half the size of a common house fly The fly of the cabbage maggot (hyle- myia brassica) is light gray with black stripes above and between the wings. The fly of the onion maggot Ohylemyia Antigua) is sim liar in size and color ot the cab bage maggot. The maggots of both species are white and foot less and when full grown about one-third inch in length.
 How Infestation Occurs
 The adult female deposits the eggs on the plant near, or at the surface of the ground, or some times on particles of earth where the stalk of the plant enters the ground. They may readily be seen as small white masses, containing 20 to 50 eggs each and about one- twenty fifth of an inch long. The eggs hatch in from four to seven days and the young larva, or mag got, immediately craWls downward on the stalk of the plant and be- gins to feed and burroW into the tissues. From four to six weeks elapse from the date of incuba tion to the emergence of the adult fly. The number of generations per season and the manner of vin- tering has not been determined fro Alaska but it is quite certain that there are at least two broods and that the pupa is the over-winter stage.
 Crops Affected
 All members of the mustard family are more or less attacked by the cabbage maggot. Cabbage, caullfloWer, radish, and turnip are the four crops commonly grown in that need protection. The onion maggot, so far as observa- tlons in Alaska show, attacks onions only.
 Preventive Measures
 Clean culture, removal or burial ot plant remains, such as wormv cabbage stalks and wormy roots. will undoubtedly help reduce the extent of infestation if done per- sistently. Spading or blowing the garden deeply in the fall being careful to completely bury all trash and plant residues is also good practice The above meas ures are helpful to the isolated garden only. Where there are adjoining unkempt gardens there would be little advantage since obviously the flies readily pass from one nearby garden to an- other.
 Beds of plant sets and radish may be screened to keep out the flies, but generally this. involves too much careful to win much success.
 : Many devices have been used such as tarred paper discs placed around the stem of the cabbage plant; also many chemicals have been tried with varying degrees of success. Interplanting of some catch crop such as radish in the cabbage rows and then destroying ! the radish that are infested will | at times reduce the injury to the | cabbage. Cauliflower set among I cabbage will prevent injury to the latter. but such method is too ex- oorcivo for general practice Tn q

Surf" derives its odd name from
the interminable pounding of I'M

The selection of these paintings is
made by the association, assisted by
M. Louis Hautecoeur, director of
the Luxembourg museum; M. Fran
co.'s Monod, director of the National
museum, and NJ. Louis Reau, presi-
dent of the Society of the History Of
French Art.
Eugene Higgins etchings will also
be on display in December. Hig-
gins is noted for his powerfully
simple etchings and they alone are
well worth a special trip to the
museum.
Higgins was vertically the poor,
struggling, garret-confned painter
during his student days in the Latin
Quarter in Paris. He painted poign-
ant pictures of beggars and miser-
ableS because he was one of them,
and his canvases are touched with
pathos that only great artist
can achieve.
With many of his paintings hung
in Paris galleries, Higgins, a native
of Kansas City, has returned to this
country to become as famous ON this
side of the Atlantic as he is abroad.
From the Art News criticism of
Higgins work, one learns that his
etchings are very similar in treat
ment to that of his oil paintings.
Like the canvases, the plates are
very dark. the effect being achieved
