DUBOIS NAMED
new HEAD OF
KIWANIS CLUB

John Dubois is the new president
OF the El Centro Kiwanis club. hay-
/ ing been elected to the post at yes
terdays luncheon at the Barbara
| Worth hotel.
"Origination of Halloween" was
the subject of an address by Ed
Law which proved to be interesting
as well as instructive Halloween.
according to the speaker, was OBJ
served by our ancestors before
Christ was born and grew out of a
fear of evil spirits.
Sickness was believed TO be a
visitation OF evil spirits and as a
guard against them, fires were kept
burning all year. The flames were
extinguished on October 81. and re-
lighted Immediately in order to
frighten the evil ones.
The name, said Law, came from
Holy Eve and the day following was
known as All Saints Day, evil spirits
being allowed a time to frolic un-
molested between the extinguishing
and re-lighting of the fires.
At the present time Halloween
does not have a religious signifi-
canoe but is a time when children
dress in grotesque costumes and
have good time.
The speaker also explained that
most holidays have changed from
what they meant at the beginning
Thanksgiving was purely a religious
festival but now almost everyone
has a habit of looking forward to
it as a day of football games and
turkey eating.
Richard Erickson of KXO intro
duced the Hill Billies who enter

D. B. Roberts was chairman of
the day.
The meeting adjourned early to
go to the Fox Imperial theatre as
a guest of Manager Herb Norris
to view a first run of pictures OF
a fishing trip off the coast at San
Diego. Kiwanians saw enough tuna
landed to make them believe it
should be cheap item when

ner in the De ANA hotel in CAL

and health in relation to public
schools were the subjects discussed
by those who attended.
DR.. Gavin Teller, state district
health officer, represented DR.. Giles
S. Porter of the State Department
of Public Health. lie gave a short
talk. Valley school superintendents

ed in public health were invited to

Gruwells talk proved especially
interesting to the experts gathered

opinion the schools are receiving all
that can be desired in Imperial
county from an organization such
as that now existing under DR.. Fox,
but also pressed the desirability Of
doctor to care for school work
alone, working out of the health
department.
Teachers may be able to aid in
procuring such a condition by urg-
ing its necessity Gruwell said He
stressed the essential relation of
health work to schools, and urged

EDGAR BROTHERS
WILL PRESENT
FORD EXHIBIT

A sound motion picture graphic
ally portraying the story of the Ford
Motor company and its widespread
activities will be exhibited free OF
charge in a special Ford exhibit to
be held at Edgar Bros. Co., Ford
dealers, Fourth and Main streets
beginning Tuesday, November g.
The show will be open to the pub
lie from Z p. m. to IL p. m.
The picture, entitled "A Tour
Through the Ford Factory" will
show the gathering of raw mate
rials, their arrival at the Rouge
plant in Dearborn. Mich, and the
numerous interesting stages through
which they pass in the process of
making Ford cars and trucks. It is
in short, an education in the extent
and meaning of modern volume pro-
duction.
While an unseen voice explains
each scene. the audience is taken
on a 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. a 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 composition to serve q
definite purpose, are used in the
Ford car and truck.
The picture shows also the manu-
facture of glass in an endless un-
broken strip, a process developed by
Ford engineers; the machine shops
in which parts for the car are man
ufactured; the pressed steel build
ing with its gigantic presses; and
the coke ovens and other units in
which by-products are recovered to
the extent Of millions of dollars an
nually.
Throughout the picture one sees
literally miles and miles of convey
ors which take much of the manual
labor off the backs of men. There
are conveyors carrying newly ar
rived materials into the plant, 9TH
ers taking parts from one building
to another, and, of course. the final
assembly line, that famous convey
or on which the parts are put to-
gether to form the completed car.
In addition to the picture. there
will be representative line of Ford
cars and trucks and display 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 oc-
casion. Particularly attractive are
the de luxe cars in which upholstery
appointments are Of a kind and
quality usually found only 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 con-
tribute to. pleasing whole. The
cars may be obtained in a variety Of
color combinations.

Uses Trickery
To Get Meals

One way TO get a free meal, ac-
cording to officers, was demonstrat-
ed by Edward E. Brestine, found
by John Meadows, state traffic Off
Ger, Just west of the Eastside Main

parently in an unconscious condl-
ton.

sheriff's office today, declared a
physician at the hospital told him

brought a reply Brestine has tricked
various other hospitals and officers
about the country by pretending ir-
Jury and unconsciousness. and that
the brother refused TO have any
thing more to do with him.

Flowers Nice But
Only For Looks

Emile V. LIE Vogue, official Span
ish interpreter in the court house,
had the nucleus of an outlandiSh
but beautiful flower garden in his
office today, to the admiration OF
court house employees.
Admiration died TO something
less, however, when noses were
brought close TO the Stapilia Varie-
gata, which seems to be the name
Of the beautiful Circe of the flow
or kingdom. Stapilia, Emile, ex-
planned, makes her home in South
Africa.
With five beautiful black and
yellow petals Of almost vegetable
thickness, and a round oval crown
in the center, the plant is believed
70 be the only one of its kind in
Imperial Valley. Mrs. lie Vogue has
cultivated the flowers for almost a
year.

sents the sentiment Of the Navy
League as an organization and
whether he received any inspiration
from inside the navy itself.
Is Well Informed
He is favorably known to many
navy officers. Though not a navy
man, Gardiner. one official said,
could stand up in a debate on sea-
power against even the navy's ad-
mirals. One officer said he thought
Gardiner would be fully competent
to sit on the navy general board.
He has never served in the navy
and beyond saying he was in war
work his wartime activities were
undiscloSed.
Naval officers were inclined to
welcome the investigation feeling
that the case for a larger navy
would receive a public hearing. On
the other hand any contracts Gard
iner may have had with navy off,
GERS. if exposed. might have conse-
quences for those involved.
Gardiner, a slender, gray-haired
man of Sc, who wears a two-inci7
stiff collar and resembles a brisk
college professor appears a trifle
stunned but uncowed by Mr.. Hoov-
cr's unexpected shot across his
bow. He showed no inclination to
offer the apology requested. He is
working amid rows of filing cabi
nets, stuffed with naval data and
tonnage totals, aided by two men
and three women assistants, COL
lecting his ammunition.

Quote Me-
BY UNITED PRESS

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. U.P)-
Ernest Lee JahncHc, assistant secre-
tary of the navy, cherishes as his
chief desire, according to authentic
information, to be the next secre-
tary of the navy. To further this
desire, the communicable owns
fleet of sand scows around New
Orleans-is reported to be not
ayerse to augmenting his popular
ity.
A Louisiana Republican, he can
count on little support from the
states voters or representative in
Congress-the c fight is his to wage,
single handed. but no one doubts
he Is equal to the task. Down in
Moo Aw-leans' heis a mighty fig
IRE through the medium of his
barges. which tell a gaping world
that Jahncke. in big white letters, is
somebody to be reckoned with.
Jahncke sand trucks patrol the
streets, and Jahncke is cut deep
in New Orleans paving blocks, laid
by the commodore's grandsire. And
in Washington, q Jahncke calendar
adorns the wall.
A big powerful-appearing man
and handsome, Jahncke neverthe-
less bellows with a lisp. He wears
an infinite variety of clothes but
is inclined to be careless of har-
monies, perhaps holding to the view
that a diving disSonance is best
characteristic of the navy at pres
ent. Anyhow, he wears bright tan
shoes with a dark blue suit and
white socks and neckties that would
knock your eye out. He carries a
cane. and wears flowers.
At home he is boisteriously hos
pitable Debutantes and sub-debu-
tantes hail his arrival, for in his
wake arrive navy flyers, and more
than once q small house party has
been transported from New Orleans
to the Mississippi gulf coast in

oils midshipman, visits home.
Jahncke pere parades him proudly
whacking him periodically in the
small of the back and shouting:
