Jitney Players
To Offer Two
Plays Here

Drama lovers seeking novelty
will enjoy the two plays in which
the famous Jitney Players will
make their second appearance in
Washington.
Tonight this unique troupe of
professional players, who tour the
country gypsy fashion in motor
caravan, carrying their own stage,
will be seen in Caste" ro-
mantle mid-Victorian comedy, and
on Saturday night in "The Muir
der in the Red Barn." a blood
curdling melodrama of 1927, that
is hilariously funny to a modern
audience.
The company performs al

gardens of the Sidwell Country
School, 1901 Wisconsin Ave-. will
be their "theater" Friday and
Saturday nights. Alice Cheney

Heroic Ambition

Heroic Ambition
That's right-a hero. AS far
back as he could remember, he
had always had a yen to be
pointed out by his associates as
q great guy. He wanted to do
something big, so that the news
papers would tell about him in
headlines and people would hail
him as he passed. imagine
that, as kids, all of us harbor
the same desire. When we
grow older and realize how
empty fame is, however, we out
grow the yen.
Not so with Jim jackson. AS
he grew into manhood, the de-
sire became stronger and
stronger. He went to bed ct
nights and dreamed of the day
that he would be hailed as a
hero for some reason or other.
He hung around the bride
paths in Central Park in order
to stop a possible runaway
horse. and he frequented the
beaches in the summer on the
chance that he might save
someone from drowning.
He tried to find the proper
groove in life; some position
chat might enable him to earn
a living and still afford him an
opportunity he craved. He be-
came, in turn, a private detec-
tive, a payroll guard and a
chauffeur for an armored
money wagon. But all with
the same result. Nothing ever
happened.
With nothing else popping up
in the line of excitement, Jim
decided upon the most hazard
Gus game of all. Just to prove
to himself that he didn't care
what happened he went in for
a remarkable piece of heroism.
You may not care for the man
nor his story. but you'll have to
admit his gameneSs in this in
stance. He got married.

NEW RULING AS TO
BANKS INSOLVENCY

of the Indiana Supreme court in an
opinion concurred in by his col
leagues held bank was not neces-
sarily insolvent when the actual cash
market value of it's assets was insult
ficient to pay in full the demands Of
all depositors.
The opinion was given in a decision
granting new trial to John FL. Smith,
former president of the Exchange
bank of Spencer, who was convicted
in 1929 o. embezzlement. Smith was
accused Of having accepted a deposit
of $S26.67 from John e. Harrison,
knowing the bank was insolvent when
the deposit was offered.
The Supreme court judge held it
would be impossible for a bank to
keep it's assets in a state Of liquidty
to pay off all depositors on demand.

ECONOMY BILL" IS
PASSED BY SENATE
Vote 35 to II for Adoption
of Conference Report.

Washington.-Th senate accepted
the conference report on the national
economy bill carrying savings of $3.50,
100000 to $175,000,O00, after recon
sidering it's previous action of send
ing the measure back for further con-
ferences with the house.
The senate agreed to changes made
by the house in the plan of payless
furloughs for government employees.
The major house changes in the
furlough plan were reduction Of the
exemption from $1,000 to $1,000 and
establishing graduated scale of
pay cuts for those employees whose
services were so needed they could
not be given months leave with
out pay. as will the employees who
can be spared.
The pay cuts begin at 10 per cent
on salaries over $4,000 and range
to 20 per cent on salaries of $780,
O00 and over Those making less
than $4,000 who could not be fur
Laughed would give up s 1-3 per cent
Ol luelf year $ pay.
One reason for the senate's reluc-
lance to approve the bill may have
been that it cuts the salaries of con-
gressmen 10 per cent. The Vice
President and speaker of the house
suffer Is per cent slashes.
Even the President is invited to
do lis part, the measure providing
that whatever portion of his salary
he wishes to turn back is acceptable
to the Treasury department. Presi-
dent Hoover had indicated his will
ingness to accept a smaller salary as
part of the economy program.
The same provision is applied to
federal judges, who, like the Pres-
dent, are exempted by Constitution
from salary changes during their
terms.
The salary and wage cuts pro-
vide the great bulk of savings in
the measure, but changes in bureaus
to eliminate duplication will effect
other reductions in government cost.
The conference report was adopt
ed, by a vote of 35 to II, despite
the vigorous opposition of Senator
La Toilette, Wisconsin Republican
and others.
1t was criticized on the ground
the bill would do injustice to elderly
federal workers by forcing their re-
tirement and would discriminate
against married persons.

PRODUCTION OF DRY ICE FROM
VALLEY OUTLINED TO CHAMBER

What part is dry ice to play in
the future of community which
ships S50,000,000 worth of perish
able products annually? Is Imper-
ial Valley, already endowed with
fertile soil, an ever shining sun
and year-round green fields to be
blessed by nature with a means. at
its very door, of preserving the
crops which result from this COM
bination? These were the questions
propounded by c. A. Winder, con-
Sulting engineer for large dry ice
concern, al last nights Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce dinner.
The company which Winder rep
resents has leased $500 acres of
land in the northern part of I'M
perial county which, he states, has
wells containing the best and pur-
est carbon dioxide in the field.
Three holes are to be drilled in the
near future in that section to de-
termine the volume and pressure
OF the gas, which is solidified under
pressure to form the so called dry
ice." The plant now operating at An
aheim, Winder stated, is obtaining
the carbon dioxide gas for the
manufacture of dry ice from the
smoke stacks of the California Edi-
son company and it is believed that,
with the natural gas in Imperial
county, and a newly developed meth
cd of COMPRISING the gas, dry ice will
soon be produced so reasonably that
its place in the commercial world
will be an important one.
"Dry ice" stated the speaker,
will open up new fields in pre-
serving and transportation of per-
iShables. 1t will not necessarily
supplant present methods of refrig-
Grafton any more than mechanical
refrigeration has supplanted refrig-
Grafton by ice. More ice was pro-
duced and used last year than ever
before in spite of the tremendous
increase iE mechanical refrigera-
tion." The speaker then described
the history of the manufacture of
dry ice, which has been known to
scientists for many years but, due
TO legal tangles, was not available
for commercial refrigeration. It's
use has increased from 157 tons in
1925 to 100000 tons a year at the
present time and it is estimated
that 100000 tons will be used in
1896.
One reason for the increase is a
newly discovered method of freez-
ing fruits and vegetables by dry
ice so quickly that the texture of
the meat is not changed when the
perishable is thawed. This method
Is being used in several sections of
the country in order to ship per-
ishable products.
Trucks are turning to dry ice
for refrigeration because of the saw
ing in space, 100 pounds of dry ice
having the efficiency of 1900
pounds of water ice. 1t is also
used in refrigersting vessels carry
ing perishable products and, ac-
cording to Winder, scientists are
now working out scales for refrig-
Grating freight cars according to
the amount Of carbon dioxide
which each individual product
Imperial Valley press., 1932-08-25

needs. Studies are also being made
OF dry ice as a method of cooling
rooms, trains and buildings.
The possibilities of dry ice as a
germicide have hardly been touched
on, said Winder, nor its use in
making carbonated drinks. Coal
mines are already using it, reduced
to liquid state, in blasting and sue
cessful experiments have been made
using 1t for power for running mo-
tors and fans and filling tires. I'm
fact concluded the speaker; "its
possibilities are unlimited and dry
ice is today one of the most fas-
cinatlng mediums of experimental
tion upon which scientists have to
work"
Carl M. Einhart, one of the own
ers OF the dry ice company gave
the credit for the development of
the Imperial county carbon dioxide
field to Robert Hays, manager of
the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce, who, he stated, first called
to his attention the possibility of
the manufacture of dry ice in this
community. Einhart introduced
other members of the party which
included Mrs. Einhart,/ Stephen
Bull, of the Pacific Carbonic COM
pany and Mr.. and Mrs. Arthur
Holt. James Perduyn, at present
residing in Imperial Valley, was in
