MOTORISTS URGED
TO LEARN STATE
LAWS ON TRAFFIC

In discussing the subject of
Safety on the Streets and High
ways" with an Ell Centro business
man few days ago. he asked the
question What good can the Safe
ty committee do any way?"
This question 1 think can be
very satisfactorily answered by
quoting an article In part from a
pamphlet issued by the California
State Chamber of Commerce deal
ing with Problems of Statewide
Importance" under the heading Of
street and Highway Safety
1t reads The tremendous in
crease in automobile accidents and
deaths is assuming alarming pro-
portions in California as it is
throughout the nation.
The state chamber, through its
women's participation committee,
has been able to bring the organ
, ized women Of California into close
contact with this problem. Through
press, magazine articles, radio ad-
dresses and other media, the safety
committees of the state chamber Is
carrying on an effective campaign
for safe driving. When one stops
TO consider that there are 100000
organized women in the state who
are actively concerned with this
vital problem, 1t gives us conf
dence that something constructive
is being accomplished to lessen the
tremendous economic toll that the
automobile is taking yearly in the
state of California. The social as
pect of the problem are even
more serious when We consider the
suffering and hardship that these
accidents bring to our people In
California.
"It is felt that education is the
, only permanent solution to the
lied on by the women's committees
the state chamber of commerce is
stressing education of the motorist
on safety"
The foregoing summary outlines
the cause for the existence of the
safety committee and the objectives
of its committeeman and the active
agencies to attain Safety on the
Highways"
To that end we earnestly urge
the cooperation Of every man, wom-
an and child who drives car
Learn the road rules. Qaw) and ad-
here strictly to them. Make your
self committee of one to see that
the law is enforced as applied to
yourself.

SPANISH REPUBLIC
SEEKS NEW ANTHEM

MADRID, June 20. U,p) - The
Second Spanish Republic, not vet
having acquired national anthem
continues to use the "Himmo de
Riego" and the borrowed "Marseil-
laise."
Meanwhile composers are at work,
but their task is a hard one. Even
in the days of the monarchy there
was not, properly speaking, ma
tional anthem. and what is desired
now is not merely tune to replace
the old Royal March but piece
which can also be sung and which
will grip the masses.
The Hymn of Riego is a great
liberal song, referring to General
Rafael de Riego, a colorful figure
in the days of the reigns of Joseph
Napoleon Bonaparte and of Ferdi-
nand VII.

OFFICERS GET
CURIOUS WHEN
RUN OFF ROAD

Barging merrily along the high
way between Ell Centre and I'm
perial last night with never
thought of the law or its minions,
Joe Horat, A, seemed determined
the center of the highway was by
far the safest place to drive.
He was backed up in this as
sumption by Gotthold Hilifiker, 40,
and Paul FRANKIE, AZ, two more Ger
man Swiss.
But by passing one certain auto
mobile the Swiss learned their as
slimptions were all wet, and Bill
Tackett and Jack Lee. state traf-
fic officers. discovered the three
merry Swiss were also all wet.
The officers were just returning
from a call when their car was
crowded almost from the road by
the automobile driven by Horat. So
the officers proceeded to stick a pin
Of practically into the toy balloon
OF Swiss assumptions.
Overhauling Horats car, Lee and
Tackett commanded him to stop.
Remonstrance was useless, and Ho-
rat did stop. He was perfectly will
ing to take ticket and let it 60
at that. But the officers decided
to look things over. In looking
over the automobile and its con-
tents, they did not overlook seven
cases Of home brew stored there
for transportation
Nothing would do but that the
Swiss and their cargo accompany
the officers to the jail. where they
were registered for the night. Horat

lions-the 1S48-had to be marched
through the streets of Dublin. The
authorities had been warned that
desperate attempt at rescue might be
made by the mob and even though
military escort had been provided,
there was some uneasiness. In these
circumstances really brilliant notion
occurred to the officer in command OF
the troops. He gave Instructions at
