perial theatre, for the benefit OF
the Salvation Army.
There will be no cash admission

Imperial theatre one or more ar
ticles of used but serviceable wear
ing apparel The Salvation Army

have barely enough clothing to
keep them warm when cold wealth
er begins. Others are kept from
school due to lack of proper cloth
ing, Captain King said.
The Army urgently asks Ell
Centre residents to look around in
corners of clothes closets, chests
CT drawers, ETC., and weed out
clothing they no longer wish to
use. Sizes from infants up will be
thankfully received by the Army
for distribution among the poor.

tunity to attend.

FOUR BRAWLEY
ATTORNEYS in
JUSTICE COURT

Five attorneys appeared before
Judge II. 3. Griffin at Brawley
yesterday in one case, one in the
capacity OF prosecutor and four in
the unusual roles of defendants,
in a case which almost drained the
legal ability of the north end town.
D. H. Wolford, chief criminal
deputy district attorney, was con-
fronted with the rather difficult
task of prosecuting charges against
four Brawley attorneys, none of
whom believed they should be
prosecuted.
The charge, filed in justice court
by the Brawley city attorney, was
one of failure to pay occupation
taxes. Because it was filed in JUS
tice court, prosecution fell to the
lot of the district attorneys office.
The defendants were Fred Thomp-
son, w. E. Abraham, Harry Stew
art and w. I. Wilson. Wilson is
city attorney for Calipatria.
A preliminary Skirmish of legal
minds yesterday resulted in an
order by Judge Griffin denying a
change Of venue asked by the de-
PENDANTS, and setting next Thurs
cay as the date for hearing of
demurrer. At that time another
justice of the peace will be called
III.
1t is the contention of the at
tornies that, since they pay a state
license, they cannot be required to
pay a city occupation license.

First Dinner OF
Elks Succeeds

Kitchen mechanics of the Ell
Centre Elks lodge decided that the
largest appetites in Ell Centre are
to be found among the membership
of the Elks lodge, and that those
possessing superlative appetites
were present in full force last night.
The kitchen crew had trouble
enough when a turn out far larger
than that expected came for the
first dinner of the winter season,
but as the dinner progressed and
supplies began to run low, the kit
cheneers reached the conclusion
that some of the members have
eaten practically nothing all sum-
mer, in preparation for this event.
At any rate, chicken and all the
furnishings were exhausted before
the dinner was over and the Elks
retired to the lodge room for their
regular Thursday night meeting.

R0TARIANS ENJOY
TRAVELOCUE BY
MRS. ANDERSON

An unusually interesting descrip-
ton of life in various European
countries, as seen from the Amer
lean viewpoint, was given to men,
bers of the FL Centre Rotary club
yesterday by Mrs. Frank F. An
derson of this city.
Mr.. and Mrs. Anderson spent
several years in Europe and north
ern Africa, coming in close contact
with native customs in all classes
and observing the various phases
OF life presented to them.
The thrilling experience of a
night in tent on the Sahara des-
ert, with its stiffness and mystery
punctuated by the weirdness of
nearby tribal celebration, was deS-
cribed as a memorable event in the
lives of two Americans, more fam
liar with the regularity and order
of modern city life.
In France, where they spent
considerable of their time abroad,
Mrs. Anderson found French GUS
toms and modes of living radically
different from American ways, but
stated emphatically that at no time
were political or other differences
that might exist between America
and France permitted to prevent
the utmost cordially and courtesy
to the individual Americans.
French business methods and the
lives of individuals were found
radically different from the Amer
lean viewpoints, but just when
Americans satisfy themselves that
our way is the best and the French
system not SO 5ood, some example
arises to prove that the French
know at least which is best for
them.
Despite the wide differences N
customs, accent and activities of
our own country, Mrs. Anderson
said Europeans generally look up
on us as er-standardized, with
all Americans doing the same
things at the same time in the
same way.
MussOlini Efficient
Mentioning the somewhat irri-
tating custom in Italy of refrain
ing from saying or writing against
Mussolini, Mrs. Anderson paid
tribute to the splendid progress
which the Italians have made I'M
der his guidance. The northern
part of the country was found UNI
usually clean, orderly and indus
trious. In the more southerly part
of the peninsula the Mussolini
influence is not so pronounced
and there is room for some of the
north's progress there.
Jugo-Slavia was found highly
interesting by the American trav-
elers, and Mrs. Anderson described
visit to Serejevo, scene of the
assassination of Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, the immediate cause OF
the World war
While lack of modern conven-
fences, which American life has
deemed essential for comfort, often
proved irritating and tendency
on the part of a large portion of
the population to forego frequent
acquaintance with soap and water
was at times pronounced, the uni
versal desire to be kindly and con-
siderate toward Americans more
than made up for these shortcom-

FATAL ACCIDENT
CAUSES SUIT In
SUPERIOR COURT

Loss of his wife in an automo-
bile accident August 20 half a mile
north of Oasis on the Los Angeles
highway caused Timothy j. Padia
damage amounting to SIS 1000, he
estimated in a complaint filed in
superior court today against Carl
Worthy, with whom Mrs. Padia
was riding.
Blame for the accident which
caused the death of Mrs. Elda A.
Padia is placed on Worthy by the
complaint, which charges him with
carelessness and negligence in
driving.
Defective brakes made it i'm
possible for Worthy to stop his au-
tCmobile in a reasonable distance,
according to the complaint.
Worthy, accompanied by Mrs.
Padia, was driving north when he
lost control Of the car. 1t left the
highway, striking a pile of tim
bers. Mrs. Padia was thrown clear
and into contact with the piled
lumber, suffering injuries which
caused her death.

which girl who has been told

in order to obtain a certain part
in a new play.
Her plans call for trapping a
woman hater, and she succeeds
only to have her game exposed and
the woman hater then turns the

Their experiences acquaint them
thoroughly with each other and a

theatre or to Fox Imperial, for
Miss Colbert is the leading lady
in the films at both houses.
United Artists is showing "Phan-

Conan himself in the leading male
role, which is, in fact, a double
one. George is a hard-hitting pol
itician in one role and a likeable
easy-going fellow in the other.
This is the first film the noted
stage favorite has made in several
years and in addition to Miss Col
bert the supporting cast includes

death Saturday night when she
burned to death in bed at her home

Weare, Brawley jeweler, was her
husband.
She was in i'll health and an elec-

some manner the bedding was ig-

to death. Apparently she attempt
ed to rouse the household but her
efforts brought no one in time to
save her life.
The fire in the bedding was ex-

to other furnishings.
An investigation was conducted
by Coroner Bert Underwood, who
reported that death was caused by
accidental burning.

Diver Reports
On Sunken Sub

PORTLAND, Eng, Feb. 8. U.P)--.
Frantic tugging at the signal lines
brought veteran British diver to
the surface off Portland today, al
most overcome by witnessing an
apparent movement of bodies
aboard the submerged submarine
M-2.
The diver said bodies of two
senior officers trapped beneath the
half open hatch of the coming
tower, appeared to move toward
him.
Almost overcome, he signaled for
a quick return to the surface.
The discovery confirmed the
view of naval authorities that the
door of the seaplane hangar
aboard the Mo was opened as the
submarine dived, and that the con-
sequent rush of water caused the
disaster.
Divers reported that the subma-
rine was flooded from stem to
stern. Fifty officers and men and
two aviatorS were lost with the
ship.
