Cost Of Living
Still Very High
Figures Show Prices
Fall Slowly

Although the wages of workers
have dropped by so per cent and
more, the cost of living has dropped
by only II per cent In the last two
years. Statistics released by the
National Industrial Conference
Board, bosses research outfit, show
that prices are still "a per cent higher
than they were in 1914.
The report states that most Of the
drop was due to lowering Of the
prices of food and clothing. Rents,
the cost Of coal, gas and electricity
show very much smaller decline.
This despite the fact that the wages
of the coal miners have been cut
until they amount to almost nothing.

VALLEY WOMEN
HURT in FATAL
AUTO ACCIDENT

Mrs. Frances Purcell of San Di-
ego, well known by her American
Legion Auxiliary work in Ell Centro
and Imperial Valley, was killed last
night, and Mrs. Pat" Thaanum
and Mrs. Hazel Shelley of Ell Cen
tro were injured in an automobile
accident near San Marcos 10 miles
west of Fscondido on the Inland
highway, according to word received
here today.
Mrs. Thaanum and Mrs. Shelley
were taken to San Diego hospital
Immediately after the accident, and
the body of Mrs. Purcell was re-
moved to a San Diego undertaking
establishment.
The three were returning from
Fallbrook, where they had organ
lied an American Legion Auxiliary
post, when the accident happened.
Mrs. Thaanum was driving the
car which crashed into a truck,
breaking her arm, cutting and
bruising Mrs. Shelley and killing
Mrs. Purcell. No details of the
accident could be learned here, what
little information was forthcom-
ing being received at the sheriff's
office by teletype.
Mrs. Purcell was district chair
man of Auxiliary work, in charge
of distribution and sales of leather
goods made in San Diego hospitals
She had made many friends in I'M
perial Valley through her connec-
ton with this work.
Mrs. Thaanum is district chair
man of child welfare work, and
Mrs. Shelley is 22nd district presi-
dent.

FAIR EDITION OF
PRESS CORRECTS
TEACHERS VIEW

"It only took an Imperial county
fair edition of the Imperial Valley
Press to prove to a Chicago high
school teacher that she was mis-
informed when she stated nothing
grew in Imperial Valley" says
Mark NJ. Munson, chairman of the
publicity committee of the Ell Gen.
tro Chamber of Commerce.
Munson explained that several
weeks ago a resident of Chicago,
formerly a resident of San Diego,
wrote to the Ell Centre chamber
and asked for literature to give to
a high school teacher in Chicago
who was teaching her pupils that
nothing grows in Imperial Valley.
The former Californian was very
indignant that such misinforma-
ton should be given out. In reply
to this letter the chamber staff
mailed city and county booklets to
the Chicago correspondent and sent
as well copies of the mid-winter
fair edition of The Press.
In a letter received today the
chamber is Informed that "the pu-
pills laughed loudly when the fig
ures $62500,000 were quoted for
crops and live stock values in 1923.
The teacher took her lesson in good
spirits, thanked me for the liter
ature and said she would keep it
and the newspaper for future refer
ence. The remaining copies I gave
to my niece who attends one of the
largest high schools here. In this
way I am distributing the litera-
ture where the pupils will not onlv
learn about Imperial Valley but will
also discuss it with their parents
and friends"
This is merely one of the many
cases where mis-statements con-
cerning Imperial Valley are cor
rected by the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce." states Munson. I'VE
have found in number of cases
that eastern residents have Imper-
ial Valley and Death Valley con-
fused and from such misunder-
standing arises the belief that I'm
perial Valley is arid and desolate.
Although we often have an oppor-
tunity to set people right on the
productivity of Imperial Valley we
seldom have such splendid cooper
alton as was given by the former
California resident who wrote us
concerning this teacher"

SWING PRAISED
FOR EFFORTS TO
Get AIR Mail

In a letter sent to Congressman
Phil D. Swing, Robert Hays, man
anger of the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce has commended him
for the stand he has taken for the
establishment of the southern air
mail service between San Diego,
Imperial Valley and Arizona points.
In his letter Hays stated he is
gratified at reading press dispatch
es declaring the congressman had
gone to the bat Tor The southern
air mail between those points as
the service is much needed here
and the public interest would be
served were the Century Pacific
lines allowed to transport the mail
pending the time the mail flies
from San Diego to Phoenix by way
of Imperial Valley.
Congressman Swing and the di-
rectors of the Ell Centro Chamber
of Commerce have contended that
the. southern air mail route was
intended to fly from San Diego
through Imperial Valley and thence
eastward to Arizona points. Pend
ing completion Of the lighting of
the southern transcontinental air.
way over which the mail planes
will be flown at night, the ships
and mail were routed temporarily
from Los Angeles to Phoenix di-
rect, with the understanding that
the rerouting through San Diego
would occur just as soon as lights
were installed. Lights were pro-
vided two months ago and the
lighted southern transcontinental
airway completed, but the planes
are still going straight from Los
Angeles to Phoenix, il is pointed
out.
Leo Hetzel, chairman of the Ell
Centro chamber aviation and air
mail committee, states there is no
sound reason why lines such as
the Century Pacific, flying be-
tween Los Angeles, San Diego, I'M
perial Valley and Arizona points
could not carry the air mail be-
tween these ports. 1t maintains a
regular service, good equipment,
and has offered to transport the
mail at a small fraction of what
the government is now paying. "Of
course" he states, ''it is our hope
and our expectation that the Am
erican Always, flying the SO called
CAM 33 to Atlanta, will be rerout-
ed over San Diego and Imperial
Valley and thus we would be on
a long, through transcontinental

The San Diego Chamber of Com
merce, through Thomas F. Momar,
manager of the chambers aviation
department, has constantly worked
for the same objective as has the
Ell Centre chamber and Bomar has
asked for the assistance of the
large chambers of commerce on the
southern air mail route in the east
ern states, urging that they exert
their influence to have the southern
air mail flown through San Diego
and Imperial Valley by American
Airways as originally contemplated.
