ACTIVITIES AT CENTRAL UNION

Every high school student taking
an English course took a standard
lied test in capitalization, grammar,
and punctuation the second period
Tuesday morning. The object OF the
test was to indicate to the English
teachers what type of work needs
special emphasis.
All the pupils were arranged al
phabetically and divided into groups
which went to different rooms, since
there is not one hall large enough
for all to write in at the same time.
There were 16 teachers in charge
of the various groups, with some OF
the seniors acting as monitors.
To the affirmative team was given
the decision in the practise skirmish
Friday morning between Centrals
two debate teams.
The judges we're: Miss Mckeehan,
Central librarian; Rev. V. E. But
terworth and Rev. C. E. Flanagan.
The victorious team was composed
of Fred Heald and Melvin Wilby.
After beating all the high school
teams with which they played, the

SPLENDID ACTING
SEEN IN PAID

Those who appreciate good acting
will see some Of the best in Paid"
which will close its engagement at
Fox Imperial Theatre tonight.
Joan Crawford, who takes the role
of Mary Turner. made famous on
the stage by such actresses as Jane
Cowl. proves beyond doubt that she
is one of the best dramatic actresses
on the screen. a statement which
may surprise those who have only
seen her in lighter roles, but which
will be found true if Paid" is wit
messed.
She is ably assisted by Robert
Armstrong and Robert Emmett
O'Connor, while Marie Provost does
some exceptionally clever work in e
character role.
Armstrong, as the lead, and
OConnor in his usual role of detec-
tive. do much TO add to the effec-
tiveness of Mrs. Crawford's work.
The balance Of the cast is far above
the average, and the story-"Within
the Law" is hard to beat.

FIRMS PROTEST
SWING EFFORTS
ON COTTON DUTY

Phil D. Swing, congressman from
this district. has recently sent a
letter to the local farm bureau
office in which he states that al
ready a number of commercial
firms have protested his attempt to
secure the full duty on cotton seed
meal shipped into this country
from Mexico as fertilizer.
Approximately a month ago, the
iocal office called to his attention
the fact that Mexican cotton seed
mills are importing cotton seed
mixed with five or eight per cent
manure as fertilizer. and getting 1t
in to this country duty free, instead
of paying the tariff of Sc per ton.
Swing took the matter up with
the tariff officials and while no
decision has yet been made, local
interests are anxious to see that
the full tariff is required since this
cotton seed competes with low
grade hay used as fertilizer, which
latter is valley product.
Among the firms which have
protested to Swing are the Mutual
Orange Distributors, Krumm Man
ufacturing Co. Ltd, and the Fruit
Growers Supply Co., all of Los An
geles.
Scott B. Foulds. secretary-man-
ager of the farm bureau, has also
written to Swing. calling to his at
tention the fact that a number OF
devices are being used by Mexican
importers to obtain an ad valorem
duty on their products instead OF a
specific duty. With values low. as
a result of the current depression.
a duty based on values is obviously
lower than a specific one.
In this connection, certain mill
in Mexicali is importing ground
grain and food stuffs. getting them
in as mixed foods. on an ad valor-
en- duty. instead of on the specific
duty for grain. Foulds states that
che of the last shipments was moth
ing but ground head milo.
Argentine sour clover seed mel
ilotus indica is also being brought
in under the name of wheat SCREEN
ings and is competing with locally
grown products.

VALLEY PUMlCE
DEPOSITS MAY
BE DEVELOPED

AS a sequence to its efforts to
assist in developing the non-metallic
minerals in Imperial Valley, the El
Centre Chamber of Commerce has
succeeded in interesting one OF the
coast chemical companies in pumice-
stone produced in this county.
Manager Hays of the chamber OF
commerce received recently COM
munication from one of the chemical
companies operating in Los Angeles
and Arizona, stating that the or
ganization desires to purchase
pumicestone deposits as near Ell
Centro as possible, and asking Tor
a list of such mines available for
sale Hays has asked newspapers OF
Imperial Valley to urge those who
have pumicestone claims in Imperial
County to submit descriptions OF
them to the chamber Of commerce
and they will be forwarded to Los
Angeles for consideration of the
parties interested in the purchase.
Throughout all the southern
counties of California a concerted
effort has been made to develop the
non-metaliferous substances found
in these counties. Production OF
gold, silver and other precious metals
in California has waned. but it is
realized by the chambers of COM
merce that much worth lies in the
non metallic substances, not only
| for the intrinsic value of the SUBJ
stance mined, but as a consequence
of the industrial development and
the manufacturing which results
from the utilization of these ores
and minerals.
The Associated Chambers of Com
merce at recent meeting considered
the desirability of developing as
much as possible the mineral re-
sources of Imperial County and a
committee was appointed to promote
this work. In other parts of South
ern California similar action has
been taken.
