NEW SCHOOL FOR
 IRISH DANCING
Will Be Opened in Moose Hall By Prof P. J.
 Crowley
SATURDAY., APRIL 2

A new school for Irish dancing will open Saturday afternoon, April End, in Moose Hall, 100 Grand street. Professor P. J. Crowley, formerly of Boston, will be in charge of the new academy, where he will be glad to meet anyone who wishes to take up reel, jig and hornpipe dancing.
 This is something new in view of the fact that Waterbury has never before had school for in- structions in Irish dancing. 1t is believed that the institution will prove huge success under Profes- sor Crowley's dictatorship. Those wishing to take the course in danc- ing, can register from to 6 O. clock Saturday afternoon or by calling 3,S432 for information on special appointments.

New Haven Boys
 Order to Quit
Police Act on Tip Given By
 Frank J. Green

On complaints made to Secre-- tary Frank Green of the local Chamber of Commerce the police yesterday afternoon stopped two enterprising young men from New Haven, who were attempting to de- ceive the public by selling "extras" of New York tabloid. The story was to the effect that "Lindy Kid napers had been captured: Baby to be returned tonight" It was a vague and incomplete account which reflected a vivid imagina- tion on the part of the writer.
 The police after questioning the two men ordered them to take their papers and leave the city. They had several hundred in their possession, but had sold less than one hundred before stopped.

FIRE FIGHTING
EQUIPMENT WILL
BESTAND.ARDIzED

Standardization of the threads on
all fire fighting equipment will be-
gin in Imperial Valley municipah-
ties following the visit of State
Fire Marshal Jay Stevens, who will
meet with all fire chiefs in the
valley association in Ell Centro to-
morrow night.
Each fire fighting system In the
valley will be standardized accord
ing TO national requirements, every
thing to be done by the state with
the exception Of a portion of the
labor. A state law requires that
the change be made, the local sys-
tenn following the California STAN
dard at present.
In explaining the reason for the
change, Fire Chief Tom Reams said
a difference in the threads used on
fire equipment prevented various
cities assisting each other in case
of a fire too large for one depart
ment to handle. Railway stations,
oil stations and other concerns hav-
ing property in all parts of the
country, utilize the national STAN
dard. National and state standards
cannot be used INTERCHANGEABLE,
which often proves a disadvantage,
said the chief.
Tools used in the change will be
provided by the state and all work
done under the supervision Of a
state foreman. 1t is expected the
work in Ell Centro will be completed
in a month.

PIONEER SINGER
OF VALLEY BACK
ON BRIEF VISIT.

Old timers IN Imperial VALLEY
were delighted this weekend whez
Frank Pollock. grand opera singer,
visited the valley for the first time
in 25 years.
Pollock spent six months in the
valley Is years ago, arriving here
Just prior to the time the big break
in the Colorado river was closed the
second time.
He came upon recommendation
of Southern Pacific railway Off
cials as a means of curing a throat
ailment which threatened to de-
stroy his singing voice He was
employed at the offices Of the Cali
fornia Development company in
the cid district headquarters in
Calexico and was a member of
several surveying parties.
Pollock tells many amusing stor-
les of his sojourn here. At one
time he was a member Of a sur
Veying party camped for the night
at Los Algodones. The beautiful
desert moonlight inspired Pollock
as he strolled along the canal bank
and he burst into a selection from
the opera Rigoletto
Thomas Kinds, construction en-
gineer, who had charge of much
of the work at the heading, listened
to Pollock's voice a moment and
then said to DR.. II. T. Cory: Some
scamp has been giving those In
dians whisky again.
The visitor sang tenor roles i.
the Oscar Hammerstein Manhattan
Opera company, the Metropolitan
Opera company, the Opera Comique
of Paris, the London Opera COM
pany, the Royal Opera of Stock
holm and others.
He expressed amazement at the
development made in the valley
and spoke especially Of the attrac-
tive appearance made by the ar
cades in business sections Of valley
towns. He plans to leave tonight

CHAMBER URGES
QUICK WORK ON
TREE PLANTING

Those persons who already have
planting plans fo- the beautifica-
tion of their property are advised
by Mrs. j. S. Jones, chairman of
the special tree planting committee
of the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce, that they should get their
Palo Verde trees now, because the
supply obtained by the chamber is
rapidly being diminished. Daily,
according to Mrs. Jones, new Palo
Verde enthusiasts call for trees and
several hundred o.. these trees have
already been distributed for city
planting Undoubtedly the supply
will soon be exhausted and the
present lot of trees available for
city planting are all that can be
had, the chamber staff having OBJ
tanned all the available Palo Verde
trees on the coast for this tree
planting campaign, being conduct
ed in commemoration of the George
Washington bi-centennial celebra-
ton.
People on the outside of the city
and small ranch owners have be-
sieged the chamber with requests
for trees but have had to be de-
MED because the number of trees
obtained this year will only go to
those planting on city streets, the
supply being equal but to one
tenth of the demand.
Persons desiring trees are re-
minded that they will only be
available in the mornings and are
asked to call for them before noon
at the home Of Mrs. j. S. Jones,
600 Wensley avenue. The Palo
Verde trees are selling two for 25
cents and lathes come with the
small trees to insure their protec-
ton.
All the California black walnut
and Arizona ash trees sent by the
state department of forestry for ex-
perimental planting have been Civ
en- out and M. B. Pratt, chief of the
state division of forestry, has COM
mended the FL Centro Chamber of
Commerce on its activities in dis
tributing these trees. He states,
Trees along the city streets, if
proprly kept, can mean the
difference between good will and
i'll will that tourists hold for q
community. Cities with beautifi-
cation polices have attracted many
new citizens coming to the south
west to live because the beauty of
the city streets made a lasting i'm
preston on them and led them to
investigate the possibilities OF the
city as q home"
