 Stance and his employer, Mrs Betty Kenney, denied purchasing Ethe meat. The two lads, however,, swere positive that Stance gave them the money after admitting them into the restaurant through the rear door, which the owner claims is always locked. The lads in court described the furnishings in the room in which they waited Tor the money.
 Y Robertson Boyd, manager of a schain store in North Square, testi- filed that last week several deliv- eries of bakery goods, meats, and Vegetables disappeared. As the goods were delivered by three diff ferent drivers it was evident that some mistake had been made. A watch was kept on the store early sDne morning. Two of the youths sseized later appeared on the scene and begged a cigarette from one of the watchers. They later went sup the street and stole two quarts of milk from another store.
 The two, who were sent to the lreform school, confessed to carry ting away two boxes of meat, the pork and shoulders. They later xsold the pork to Stance for $3 and the shoulders for $1.5O. They claimed that they had been sleep ing out nights and took the goods

 Once Won Mayoralty
 MoIey came close-dangerously close, as he considers it now--to having a political career himself. He was born in Berea, Ohio, att tended Baldwin-Wallace college and won a degree of Bachelor of Philosophy when he was 20. AS soon as he was old enough to vote he campaigned for mayor of Olm- stead Falls, Ohio, and was victori- ous. -
 That was his only elective office, however. He became superintend- ent of public schools in Olnstead Falls, later held various teaching positions, acquired a few addition al degrees, and went to Columbia in 1923, first as assistant professor of government, then as professor of public law.
 While shrinking from personal publicity, Professor Moley has made many a sensational state- ment that has forced public atten- ton upon him. He has declared that women have been sad fail- ure in politics because they are too sensitive. Addressing a conference

 TO Barnard college alumnae last year he said: we would have better government if fewer people voted. The more numbers you have the more foolish Is the result.
 "The reason we have such taw- dry types in politics-the buffOns, the Mayor Thompsons-is that no- body who can possibly make liv- inr any other way will so into politics" Moley declared. Tt has reached a point now where you must have a calloused conscience to remain in politics."

District Officials
Named Defendants


A victory that was not victory
was scored by the Imperial Irri-
CATION District yesterday afternoon
when Judge Lloyd E Griffin of
San Diego. presiding mere over dis
trict civil actions, sustained the
demurrer of the district to the
complaint of f. L. Osborne, but
overruled the demurrer as 1t ap-
plies to the board of directors of
the Imperial Irrigation District,
its employers and taxpayers.
By the ruling the district, as a
corporation. was eliminated from
the suit, but It's individual officers
and employees were retained as
defendants.
Osborne is suing for $4,000 dam
ages for the death of his child,
drowned at the Myrtle heading in
1880. The child's death, according
TO Osborne's complaint, was caused
by the negligence of the district in
falling properly to safeguard a
bridge over the heading. The child
fell from this bridge into the canal,
and drowned.

pig.

Nov I'll have another shot"
Carefully he placed the ball on
the rug and again swung his club.
Once more he hit and the ball
sailed toward the door.
"Smacko!' it went, but it did
not hit the door, for just then the
door opened and Nurse Jane
looked in. The ball hit her on the
nose and she squealed:
"Ouch!"

Il didn't know you were coming
in. Are you hurt?"

said Mr.. Twistytail.

Longears.

just then Mrs Longears came down
stairs. She looked in the doorway
and asked what was going on.
Il was just practicing golf, like
this" explained Uncle Wiggily as
he put down another oall and
swung his club. Il hit the ball like
this, they're soft, you know" he
told his wife. And, as he spoke, he
swung at the ball again. Through

UNCLE WIGGmY'S GOLF
PRACTICE

Uncle Wiggily and his fat pig
friend, Mr.. Twistytail, were sitting
in the hollow stump bungalow
cleaning their golf clubs. 1t was
a rainy day. A little while before
this, Uncle Wiggily, going to the
attic to get his clubs, found a leak
in his roof and Mr.. Twistytail
helped him mend the hole. y
Too bad it's raining now"
grunted the pig as he polished
some rust off his niblick club.
Yes agreed the rabbit, as he
polished his brassie. IF it weren't
for the shower we could be out
now, knocking the little white balls
around. But We'll go out to-
morrow"
oh, sure!' said Mr.. TWistytail
7 have some soft, rubber practice
balls with me-" he went on, taking
one from his pocket. "Of course,
we couldn't knock the regular,
hard rubber golf balls around here
in your bungalow, but maybe a
few practice shots, with the soft
balls, would do no harm. These
balls, Wiggy, are SO soft, they
won't even break a window if they
hit it
Yes, I know. I've used them

of gangster control of our big

against the indifference of the
American people which has per-
mitted this control TO become pos
sible and teaches n lesson of civic
duty That makes those who see it
do some heavy thinking.
Paul MUM, in the title role, plays
q most unlikeable part in a man
ner that has won him praise from
dramatic critics throughout the ma
ton. IN the supporting cast are
Ann Dvorak, Karen Morley, Os-
good Perkins, Baris Karloff, Pur-
nell Pratt, Tully Marshall and
Vince Barnett
Hughes picture points out that
as the gangster shows no mercy,
none should be shown to him, and
only by unceasing warfare against
the gangster on the part of all
good citizens, can the menace of
gangsters be wiped out
"Scarface" tells a real story
without undue sensationalism or
heroics. It is straight and con-
vincing and far from clarifying
the gangster. It condemns him
for what he is.

Voters TO Get
Sample Ballots

Shades of st. Nicholas and the
Yule season were PACED at the Ell
Centro post office yesterday after
noon and today as postmen were
faced with the ask of distributing
to their final destinations 5,733
sample ballots mailed from the Of
flee of Edward II. Law, county
clerk, yesterday.
Not that all of the sample bal
lots were to ne distributed in Ell
Centro, but the mere task of look
ing at such huge accumulation of
postage could have no other effect
than to give the most lusty post
man an acute back ache.
That was the effect the sample
ballots had on the county clerk AMI
Clarence Hinderks, his chief dep
uty, as they were engaged in the
job Of addressing them. This duty
consumed most of the time during
the past two months.
The sample ballots are for the
May presidential primary election,
and list for the convenience of the
voter the various delegates for
whom he may east a ballot.

Then he softly walked across the
room, opened the door, looked out
and listened.
Whats the matter?' asked the
pig. Did you think you heard
some of the bad chaps?'
NO said Mr.. Longears with a
laugh. q was listening to see if
my wife and Nurse Jane had gone
upstairs. If they have I think it
would be safe for US TO do a little
golf practice here with the soft
balls
That will be fun!' grunted the
Dig But is your wife out Of the
Way?p
@Yes, there she goes upstairs
with Nurse Jane answered the
rabbit. "Cf course these soft balls
won't do any harm he went on
with a wink of one eye, but my
wife is sort of funny that way.
It's just as well not to cause her
worry"

dent want to do that. But it will
be Jolly fun to have a bit of golf
practice
Uncle Wggily closed the door so
he and the fat pig were alone in
the living room with their golf
clubs and the soft rubber balls.

rug and take a swing at it." said
Uncle Wiggily. "Then it will be

NERVES AND NERVE

HALIFORNIA'S most famous woman
" evangelist, the reader being at lber-
ty to change the adjective if he wishes,
who can always be depended upon to
do the unusual, has done just that in
Kansas City, if dispatches from that
city quote her correctly.
Addressing an audience in the Mis-
souri, city, she IS quoted as informing
them that her nerves are on edge. and
that the sound of coins dumping into the
collection box is more than she can
stand
Il can't stand to hear the jingle of
coins, she is quoted. Make it silent
offering. can't hear paper money
Never before have we heard complaints
about the noise of incoming money be-
ing undesirable The clinking of out
going coins is enough to set the nerves
ajangle, but it was not regarding this
sort of coin that the lady evangelist
made her remarks.
Thousands of businessmen throughout
the country, and even high officials of
the government, would be tickled to
death to have their nerves tangled by
the rattle of coins in the money box
It would mean revival of business for
the former and might help the latter to
balance that elusive budget.
There is every reason to believe that
the lady was not really serious, for she
intersperses her talks wit eonsidelt
able hokum, designed to ke audi
ences in good humor, and make
them more liberal when tn. lection
basket is passed around.
If the lady was serious and not spool
ing, it merely means there is nothing
really wrong with her nerves, but there
is plenty wrong with her nerve.
1t is not likely that the grape growers
will be on hand to welcome Mr. Hoover
on his visit home this summer.
If all the plots charged to the Soviet
since it was organized really developed,
this would be even a worse world than
depression has made it.
-O-
1t is difficult to shed any tears over
the fact that General Butler was mere
ly an also ran in Pennsylvania. The
general is a good marine but he is some
thing else in politics.

4 REGRETTABLE TRAGEDY


the absence Of any explanation for
yesterdays lamentable tragedy near
Imperial, It Is possible only to express
regret at the loss Of two lives sacrificed
to the deadly sewer gas which had prey
lously claimed another victim.
hlndsight, which is always keener than
foresight, makes US wonder why two men
who must have been familiar with the
dangers involved IN their inspection of
the sewer, did not confer with local Of
fieials prior to making their fatal visit
Had they done this, it is quite prob
able that they would have incurred no
danger for they could have been pro-
vlded with protective equipment if their
inspection was deemed necessary. or
warned away entirely, if it was not so
considered.
Statements by city officials that they
had no knowledge of the visit of Allen
and Jensen would indicate that the men
made the visit to the sewer at their own
FISK and for their own purposes
Comment on the tragedy would be in
complete without giving due praise to
George Wright, chief of police of I'M
perlal, for his action in going into the
sewer to remove the unconscious men.
Wright had full knowledge of the dan
gers he faced by his action yet this did
not deter him from Drawing them. It
is brave thing in the heat of action
to do valorous deed. 1t is even more so
when a man coolly and deliberately faces
danger which he knows is fraught
with peril to his own life
One of the two victims apparently
faced the same decision and made it,
with disastrous results His effort is
not any less praiseworthy than Wright's,
but at least the former had the common
bond Of friendship with the man he
sought to rescue. Wright had only the
common bond of humanity and he did
not hesitate to answer its call.
Perhaps those tornadoes in the south
are caused by Tom Heflin trying to get
back into the senate.
We have discovered a tougher job than
being an editor-being a patient.
Yesterdays voting indicates that, the
Old Bay state still sees a charm in the
