FAMOUS OCEAN
FLYER TO VISIT
HERE SATURDAY

Captain Lewis A. Yancey, famous
New York to Rome transatlantic
flyer, and first man to fly an auto
giro from the mainland to Cuba,
will be in Imperial Valley Saturday
afternoon, being due to arrive at
the Imperial county airport at 2
o'clock.
The famous flyer, who is recog-
nized as one of Americas best air.
men, is making tour of the coun-
try in his autogiro, under the aus
pices of the Champion Spark Plug
company, valley distributors for the
Champion plugs.
After having splendid success in
flying the regulation airplanes. Cap
tain Yancey became interested in
the autogiro, commonly known as
the flying windmill, because of
the rotary blades atop the machine,
which enable it to take off and
land in remarkably small space.
The autogiro is the nearest prac-
tical machine to vertical landing
and take-off that aviation has yet
produced.
Yancey recently landed his auto
giro before an ancient Mayan ruin
in Mexico and unlike the expert
ence of Columbus, who was taken
for god by the Indians, the Mex
ican Indians took Yancey and his
machine for a devil.
The autogiro, with Yancey aboard,
will give several flights at the air
port, in the course of which He will
demonstrate the safety factors and
the advantages Of the autogiro over
the ordinary airplane. An invita-
ton is extended to the public to
see the arrival and performance of
the autogiro.

The palo verde tree, a native of
the desert, is very popular, but
is sometimes confused by its many
names. There are three scientific
names for the tree. The first of
these is the Parkinsonia microphyl-
la which is called the Foothills
Palo Verde" 1t was named this
for it always grows on the foot
hills. The second is the Parkin-
sonia aculeata which is called the
Mexican Palo Verde" Both of
these were named after John Park
inson, a London apothecary. The
last Of the group is the cercidium
torreyanum or the "Blue Palo
Verde The Spanish have supplied
two names to this tree, one of
which is the palo verde, meaning
the green stick the other is the
lluvia de ora, meaning shower of
gold" The people of Barbados
call it the Barbados flower fence.
Sometimes it is called the leafless
shade tree for the truth of it is
the tree hasn't many leaves. Don't
get excited about all the names
I've mentioned because they apply
to the same tree of this green
barked arcacia family.
The tree is of q common desert
variety which grows to be about 15
to 20 feet high. It's miniature
honey-locust leaves are about one
inch long. These leaves (what few
there are) unfold in March and
April, but are gone before they are
fully mature. The beautiful flow
ers. the tree bears, are like yellow
roses with a deep red center. These
flowers bloom in April and it is a
lovely sight when they are in full
bloom. The little pods ripen and
fall in July. One of the helpful
things about the tree is that it has
tap root, or a root which goes
straight down, and lets the tree
grow in q small space.
This tree was discovered by the
Spanish in the early days and was
used both by the Spanish and by
the Indians. 1t was found in the
West Indies and South America.
The latter having three species and
Africa having one.
There are many uses for this
ever popular tree. The most COM
mon is for shade. Another of the
wide known uses is for food.
Horses, cattle, deer, and burros use
it for that purpose. The Indians
eat the pods which taste like green
peas and use the branches for fuel.
When building, the wood the odor
is sickening so the Americans have
not become accustomed TO using it
for such purpose.
FL Centro should plant these love-
ly trees, not only for George Wash
ington's birthday but for shade in
the summer. The town is going to
plant so many of these trees that
its beautiful sight will attract
tourists like the cherry blossom
festival in Japan.

IMPRESSIVE RECORD MADE
BY MAMMOTH CHEM
IcAL COMPANY
Especial to The Citizen)

GREENSBORO, IN. c.. Nov. 80.
An increase in employment OF
over AZ per cent la rise in volume
of sales of more than So percent
That is the impressive record
made by Vicks VapoRub, Vicks
Nose & Throat Drops and Vicks
Medicated Cough Drops for the
first nine months of 1932-figures
disclosed today by L. Richardson,
president of Wick Chemical Com
pany.
The record is made even more
impressive by the fact that the
House of Vicks showed a healthy
increase in volume of business and
employment in the years of 1880
and 1881, too.
It's story of business courage
and of advertising faith.
A year agorunning counter to
the general current of business
and against the judgment of advis-
ers-Vicks more than doubled its
appropriation for advertising, and
introduced two new products. The
bulk of this appropriation, as usual,
went to newspapers. What has
followed is an actual demonstra-
ton that sometimes the seemingly
impossible "can be DONE"
Volume of sales of the Wick
leader-Vicks VapoRub, the al
most universally used treatment
for colds-has increased steadily.
Rise of the two new products has
been phenomenal.
Sales of Vicks Nose & Throat
Drops--the new aid in preventing
colds-exceeded estimates by more
than so percent. Sales of the
unique Vicks Cough Drop-medi-
Gated with Vicks VapoRub--were
little short of sensational--over 90
million packages the first season.
Already this season, President
Richardson states, sales on this

successful in reducing the num-
