parts OF the state. The approach
lies through the Scioto valley, ia
nous for its fertile cornfields.
There is a broad highway fol-
lowing the river on the Ohio side
all the way from Portsmouth to
Maysville. Some even believe that
this section of the Ohio surpasses
the Rhine in native beauty. 1t is
easy to imagine that around the
next bend you might come upon a
vineyard sloping up the hillside
toward an ancient medieval castle
surmounting the summit OF the
lpeak.
For the hills rise to real peaks
I---sharp wooded promontories
which might almost be called
mountains; and over them hangs
the blue haze reminiscent OF the
Blue Ridge. =

UNION
DEBATERS SEEK
KIWANIS TROPHY

This years high school debates
will decide whether the Kiwanis
cup will be kept permanently by
Calexico or Ell Centro. The de-
bates which will open the season
will be held at the high school in
Calexico on Thursday night.
The question for debate, RE
solved, that all international
World war debts should be cam
celled" is Of unusual interest be-
cause war debts are probably the
biggest problem before the world
today.
Meets will be held between all
the schools of the valley to de-
termine which will get the cup
offered by the Kiwanis club. which
sponsors the valley debate league.
The cup belongs to the school
which wins it three times. 1t was
won by Ell Centre twice, then, by
a victory of a few points, CaleXico
took the cup last year, which was
her second winning year.
Representing Central on the 1882
debate team are Melvin Willy and
Elbert Berry on the affirmative,
and Margaret Hill and L. B. West
on the negative.
The public is cordially invited to
attend the debates on Thursday
night. February 4. when the affir-
NATIVE team debates with Brawley
in the high school auditorium, and
the negative team goes to Calex-
leo to debate there.

The March field team, flying to

first athletic team of any kind ever
to fly here for a game. The tele-

ceived today by Coach Robert Finn
of the Junior college.
The high school games will bring

Still Destroyed
By Honest Men

Two honest men came out of
Los Angeles, and finding a still,
they turned it in, and the still and
mash were destroyed and the men
and the officers went on their way
rejoicing.
This, in brief, is the story as it
appears on daily reports on file
in the sheriff's office.
The names of the two Los An
geles men who rented a ranch two
miles east and a half a mile north
of Holtville could not be learned.
The men were clearing the ranch
of undergrowth when they found
two barrels of mash and a still.
They Immediately notified Tex
Cornelison, Holtville officer, who
in turn informed the sheriff's Of
flee here of the find. Fred Elliott,
deputy, went to the ranch,s de-
stroyed the mash and confiscated
the still.

DEMPSEY FINDS
DIFFICULTY in
GETTING BOUTS
by GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 3-Opponents
are hard to find in the middlewest
to meet Jack Dempsey in his Sec
ond exhibition tour beginning at
Milwaukee Monday night.
Dempsey is willing to meet all
comers. with any weight gloves in
4 round bouts, but few heavyweights
want any part of the former cham
pion. King Levinsky, battling buf-
foon from Chicagos ghetto, vir-
tually hae rejected an offer of
$4,000 to .neet Dempsey here Feb
ruary 10.
On the basis of $4,000 for four
rounds, Levinsky would get $1250
per round, s41667 per minute and
$691 per second, a higher rate than
he ever received before. Leyinsky
processes 20 be tired and in need of
vacation because of recent bouts
with Paolino Uzcudun and Max
Baer.
Ancil Hoffman, Baer's manager
who stopped off here last night en-
route from New York to San Fran
cisco, learned of the offer to Lev
insky and said he'd permit Baer
to meet Dempsey for the same
guarantee if Leyinsky refused it.
II will demand that ounce
gloves be used and Baer will knock
out Dempsey" said Hoffman, "Baer
won't fight Dempsey if he wants
those big pillows
Dempsey will fight Baer with
bare knuckles, skin tight or any
kind of gloves Baer wants" said
Leonard Sacks, Dempseys manager.
There is little likelihood of the
Dempsey -Baer bout taking place in
Chicago, but the chances are good
for it in San Francisco in March
or April

United Press


WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-On the
second floor of the navy depart
ment building is a great room look
ing out over the reflecting pool and
the Lincoln memorial. Over the
door is a large sign which says:
Radio Control - Trans-Oceanic,
Trans-Continental. No Ad-
mittance"
The important part of it is the
mo admittance" business. 1t means
just what it says.
That is the room where all the
navy departments messages, some
of them so freighteo with potential
tiles for good or for harm in the
last 10 days, are sent and received
1t is the navy communications Off
ice. Not only are the navys mes
sages handled, but SO are hundreds
of words of communications from
the state department, including its
writing in cipher to far away en-
bassies and legations, consuls and
diplomatic agents. That room is
the governments speaking tube.
So no unauthorized person is per-
mitted to enter it. Every hour of
the "a and every day of the 1865 in
the year, it is open, and always a
commissioned officer of the navy
is there in charge. BY day he may
rank as high as a captain; in the
middle of the night by may be a
lieutenant. But always he is a
man who has taken an oath to give
his life if necessary to carry out
the orders he is given.
Twelve officers and nine civilians
handle the work Oh this commun-
ications. Last year 100000 mes
sageS were handled there.
Messages come from every ship
in the navy, from far stations such
as Guam and the Philippines where
navy men are located: from naval
attaches and from ambassadors
Within 80 minutes that office can
communicate with any place on the
globe where there is a navy ship
or shore station.
Messages from China have the
right of way these days. They come
cracking in from Shanghai to
Manila, thence to San Francisco
or if necessary to the Hawaiian Is
lands and thence to San Francis
co, and then across the continent
to Washington.
AS they reach the operator in
the communications office they are
snapped into a carrier on an over
head trolly system-like those many
stores use for conveying chance an6
sales slips-and go sailing away tc
a DECIDING officer if they are ir
cipher. If in plain English they
go direct to waiting clerks who
make the required number of copies
and soon they are being distributed
to all who may be properly con-
cerned.
A copy of all navy messages is
reserved for Secretary Adams.
And there is an orderly alway.
waiting to carry the very import
ant ones to the desk of President
Hoover.

CLAIM VALLEY
MAY NOT HAVE
ENOUGH WATER

The Water Rights Protective as
sociation today makes the claim
that there will not be enough water
left to meet the Imperial Valley re-
quirements for agriculture at that
future date when all the other BEN
eficial interests will have exercised
their rights to take the water that
they will have an opportunity to
take, if Imperial Irrigation District
signs up the proposed contract
with the department of the inter-
ior for the new canal system. This
statement was made today by Don
G. Bitter, secretary of the aSsocia-
tion. who added:
1T is surprising how little un-
derstanding and appreciation there
is in the Imperial Valley of the
danger that there will not be a
sufficient amount of water in this
valley for our absolute needs in
the years to come, after the upper
basin states are in a position to
take out an average of 100000
acre feet of water which they are
entitled to every year for a period
of any 10 years. There may come
a 10-year period when there will
not be a total of 100000 acre feet
of water to come down to the lower
basin states. Even if there is, there
are SO many unknown qualities in
volved that no one is in a position
to prove that Imperial Irrigation
District will get enough water to
take care of its needs after the
drains to the Palo Verde Valley,
the state of Arizona, the Yuma pro-
ject, the Metropolitan Water dis
trict, the Mexican allotments and
waste into the Salton Sea.

Erny Pinckert
Is H0rrid Pro

LOS ANGELES. Feb. 3. W.P)-Of-
ficials of the Amateur Athletic Un-
ion were silent toGay regarding a
rumor that Erny Pinckert, former
Universiy of Southern California
football star. may not be eligible
as an amateur for football during
the Olympic Games.
Pinckert's amateur status was
said to be in danger because of his
appearance on the stage of a Los
Angeles theatre His part of the
act was concerned mostly with
drawing in chalk. Drawing has
been his hobby, He discusses foot
ball, however, and at the close kicks
a football into the audience.
