FIRESTONE TO
SEND TESTING
TRUCKS HERE

Ell Centre has been chosen as the
headquarters for the FireStone
Tire and Rubber company for
their group of tire testing trucks
during the coming winter, accord
ing to information given by George
F.. Kennedy, local manager of
Firestone Service Stores, Inc, at
yesterdays chamber of commerce
luncheon. Both Kennedy and Rob-
ert Hays, manager of the local
chamber, had communicated with
officials of the Firestone COM
pany urging that the tests be
made out of Ell Centre this year
and KennedyS announcement was
received by chamber members with
much enthusiasm.
mot only is the fact that Ell
Centre has been chosen for head
quarters for the tests splendid pub
licity for this community, but 90
families will make their homes
here this winter because of their
connection with the fleet of test
ing trucks, and the salaries of these
men connected with the tests and
expenditures of their families will
all help to increase sales and
business generally in this city,"
Hays said.
Kennedy states that there will
be from 20 to 25 trucks in the fleet
some from Los Angeles and some
from Akron, the main factory of
the Firestone Tire and Rubber
company and all will be equipped
to take care of testing trucks.
The trucks will be equipped
with Fiestone tires and then put
out on the roads and highways of
Imperial Valley to run a certain
number of miles daily for a per-
iod of several months in order to
test the wearing and lasting quail
ties of the tires. Because of the
fact that the trucks can operate
every day of the year in Imper-
ial Valley, where there is practic-
ally no rain and no snow, this
community was chosen for this
years tests and this fact will re-
suit in favorable publicity on FL
Centres winter climate throughout
the entire country.

IN
ADULT CASES
OFFERS HOPE

probation as it is applied to the
adult offender is the most hope
full aspect in the whole field of
criminology," declared a local pro-
baton official today, quoting the
Wickersham report, recently pub
lished and now ready for distri-
button by the United States print
ing office.
1t was pointed out that only de-
serving offenders are granted pro-
baton, proving this method a de-
sirable process of rehabilitation.
Although the constitution provides
that every person is entitled to a
jury trial, 10 per cent of those ap-
pearing in court plead guilty, saw
ing hundreds of dollars in jury
trials.
Another item of saving is seen
| by comparing the yearly costs of
prison upkeep and the costs of
probation; the upkeep of an indi-
yidual in a California prison aver
ages $22813 each year while the
cost Of probation is $26.65.
A court order granting proba-
ton may embody various restric-
lions, including reimbursement OF
those who have been defrauded by
| probationers. In some cases a
| Jail sentence is '3mposed. Should
the road camp become reality in
Imperial county, a month or so ir
this camp will become usual SEN
tence for law breakers granted
probation. Release on probation
gives the family provider the OPP
portunity to support his family.

ADVANCE. Of
AIR TRAVEL
POINTED OUT.

Civil aeronautics, or the general
operation of commercial air lines,
was the subject of a talk given
yesterday by John r. Moss, general
passenger agent of the California
Aerial Transport, Inc, at the e.
Centre Chamber of Commerce
weekly luncheon. Much Roadway
has been made in civic aeronautics,
said the speaker, since congress
instituted the air commerce de-
partment, under the act of 1926,
giving the government jurisdiction
over all matters pertaining to
commercial aviation.
The first air mail line operating
from New York to Buffalo has
been extended until the United
States now has a network of air
lines greater than any other coun-
try, with 100000 miles covered
oaily by air mail services and AT
major transport companies oper-
ating this mileage, as compared
with IS companies which operated
in 1927.
Air passenger services have also
shown an amazing gain. In 1926
but 5000 persons travelled by air;
in 1927, 5000; in 1923, 10000, and,
in 1880, 488,000 persons had trav-
eled by air. This increase, Moss
stated, is due to the lower costs
of air transportation, the saving in
time and the increased safety of
air travel. In 1882 there were but

FARM CENSUS
SHOWS TOTAL
NEARING PEAK

The farm population will be
approximately 100000 people BY
| the end of this year, U. S. depart
ment or agriculture, bureau OF ag-
ricultural economics, compilations
| covering the first three months of
| 1882 indicate. This total will be
close to the peak farm population
of 32.077,000 people as of January
l, 1910.
A net increase of $4,000 per-
sons in The farm population is es-
! timated for the first three months
OF this year, and this gain, says
the bureau, suggests the POSSIBLE
| ity of an increase for the entire
calendar year equal to that in 1881
when the bureau estimated that
the farm population was increased
| by 656,000 persons.
The net gains in farm popula-
ton in 1880 and 1881, plus the pro-
T jected gains this year, will more
than offset the decrease of ap-
proximately 100000 people in the
farm population from the years
1920 to 1880. The farm popula-
ton as of January l, 1880 was 30
1863, 900 people-the low point since
1910 in the number of persons liv-
ing on farms.
The bureau believes that a con-
siderable part of the farmward
movement in normal years consists
of persons who have had some
farm experience antedating their
city life. On the other hand, it is
believed that comparatively few
persons who move from farms to
cities had previously lived in cities.
The farm population estimates
clearly indicate the effect of the
current business depression, says
the bureau, yet even during this
period many farm people have
moved to cities. Even during the
first three months of this year it
is shown that $4,000 persons
moved from farms to cities, and
that $4,000 persons moved to
farms. This shows a net farm
ward movement of 132,000 and
the difference between that figure
and the estimated increase of $685.
600 in the farm population is &C
counted for by an excess of births
over deaths.
The bureaus farm population
estimates do not include persons
who live outside of incorporated
places of $500 or more and yet
who do not live on farms. The
bureau believes that this group has
been considerably increased by I'M
employed or internationally en-
ployed urban people who have mi
grated to the country to engage in
subsistence gardening. Most of
these are not occupying units that
the census would classify as farms,
nor are they engaging in COM
mercial agriculture. Nevertheless
they constitute a recent and i'm
portant addition to the rural nom
farm population.

three accidents to passengers for
every 100000 miles flown, and
but 81 fatalities to every $4,000
passengers travelling by air. This
decrease in accidents is due to
rigid tests and examinations of
equipment, said the speaker and
TO the rigid requirements for air
transport pilots and mechanics.
Costs Reduced
The extension of air mail has
also encouraged the growth of civil
aeronautics, according to Moss, as
all lines carrying air mail are sub
sidized enabling continued opera
ton. AS the cost of flying per
hour for the average air craft is
from $35 to 500 it is difficult for
a line to operate on passenger
fares alone.
The speaker stated that with the
increase in speed, now being devel-
oped, and cutting of equipment air
travel will soon be available to the
masses at even lower cost than
at the present time, when it costs
but half as much to travel by air
as it did a few years ago. Moss
urged the use of air mail by I'M
perial Valley persons in order to
insure the continued operations of
the lines now serving this commun-
ity. aslA1
