FOR LONDOS

jim Londos, generally recog-
nized as world heavyweight wrest-
ling champion, may get most of
the "boos" in his match with
Sander Szabo at the Washington
Auditorium Thursday night, but
he will have the solid support Of
the local. Greeks.
There's not a Greek in Wash
ington, nor the rest of the coun-
try for that matter, who wouldn't
wager on Londos to throw any
wrestler in the world. That's how
much they think of their country
man. They consider LondoS the
best of 'em, and they are right.
Londos is not only the greatest
attraction in wrestling today, but
he is also a true champion.
Londos expects trouble from
Szabo for the latter has given
him two hard battles. Their last
meeting saw Londos winner by
virtue of the airplane spin after

IN GOSSIP
Of ARMY-NAVY
RENEWAL

There was a lull today in the
negotiations for the resumption
of athletic relations between
Army and Navy. No additional
statements were forthcoming
from West Point or Annapolis as
to progress of efforts to heal the
breach.
Word did come from Annapolis,
however, that, in addition to the
entire regiment of midshipmen'
many of the naval contingent
stationed there are practically
confident that arrangements will
be completed for the resumption
of relations by next year or. at
least, for another charity football
game in the fall.
Such a general feeling among
the rank and file of the Naval
Academy is regarded as bearing
considerable weight with the
administrative officials.

American League forces in 1882,
Dooley was quite emphatic in
saying:

Massa Joe McCarthy'S men who
will be most likely to move the

pick Washington as the club
with the brightest chance of
stopping the league champions.
"The Griffmen have every
thing. With a more concerted
punch Washington would have
given Philadelphia plenty of
trouble last season and this
winter the necessary punch has
been added in the person Of
Carl Reynolds. from the White

"With Reynolds supporting

off their indebtedness to back

League, which was eliminated
16 years ago, President John A.
Heydler, of the National League

when President, appointed Father

Franklin was on the same COM

So cordial were the relations
between jefferson and George

their fellowmen in the colonies
to stand solidly with Jefferson

quite possible jefferson accepted

The Jefferso n-Georgetown
friendship was not without his
torical significance.
The Jesuit order, irrevocably
linked to Georgetown by ties of
affection and devotion, probably
was not without its influence in
causing France, in 1903, and
while jefferson was President, to
cede Louisiana to the United
States.
In 1903, the acquisition of
Louisiana meant everything to
the future of this country, and
Jefferson did not hesitate to say
so.

Georgetown undoubtedly proved
her friendship for jefferson in

she also materially aided in prov

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Max
Schmeling will arrive here today
on the steamship Europa after a
pleasant vacation in his native
Germany, and will be met at
quarantine by a delegation Of
newspapecmen and photographers.
The champion is anxious for a
speedy conclusion of negotia-
tions for his proposed bout with
Mickey Walker so that he can
begin his scheduled exhibition
tour next week.
"You may say that am still

"Well, they had plenty to say.
I thought that Jacobs would
say the usual 3713 per cent;
but, no, Joe said 40 per cent or
I couldn't even think of it, So
I says, We'll, a secret being a

BUDGET OFFERED
BY FREEHOLDERS
GETS REDUCTION

Economy, the watchword of the
recently elected board of free
holders, today struck a backhanded
blow at these same freeholders as
the county board Of supervisors
took up consideration of proposed
budget to cover the expenses OF
the freeholders in drawing up a
proposed county charter.
In a proposed budget submitted
early this week the freeholders
asked an appropriation of $500 TO
cover travelling expenses, the salary
of a secretary, expenses for a gov
ernmental expert, stenographic ex-
penses and expenses for stamps
and stationery.
One supervisor declared this
morning the board has decided
tentatively to appropriate only $3.50
for the expenses of the freeholders.
The greater part of this is for
stenographic work and stamps and
stationery. Travelling expenses
also are considered.
The first proposed budget of the
freeholders called for slightly more
than $1,000, but when the super
visors flatly refused to appropriate
this amount, $500 was asked.

SYRACUSE PAIR
WORK RACKET
ON HOUSEWIVES

SYRACUSE, N. Y, July 16. UP
Two young men, described as coed
looking, pleasant hammered and
possessed with an irrestible urge
to paint, have introduced a rather
novel racketeering scheme in the
Strathmore section Of Syracuse.
The smooth pairs system is to
present themselves to a housewife
and inquire if she has been III
formed of the new city ordinance,
which requires that all house num-
bers be painted on the curb in
front.
why, mol" the surprised house
wife generally eXclaims. II didn't
know of any such ordinance"
The suave pair then look at one
another and shake their head;
sadly. as though they find it diff
cult to believe that anyone coulc
be so woefully uniformed in this
day and age.
You see, madam" says thf
spokesman, "the city painters vii
be around any day now, and they'll
charge so cents to paint the mum.
Der, but seeing as money is scarct
these days, we will gladly do the
work for a quarter"
The housewife frequently hand
over the quarter, and the pail
paint the number. Then they rims
the doorbell of the house next door
and work on up the street.

TRAVEL BY AIR
CONTINUES TO
SHOW INCREASE

Traffic over the lines of the
southern division of American Air
ways continued to increase during
the month of June, according to
Charles M. Sproule, local traffic
representative, the traffic during
the month being more than three
and half times that of the some
month of last year. During the
month of March traffic doubled
over March, 1881, but there was
even greater growth during the
months of April and May in COM
parison with the same months of
last year and in June of this year
there was 1858 passengers in COM
parison with BIT in June, 1881.
Part of the increase can be
assigned to the fact that the
monthly miles flown of the SOUTH
ern division has increased in the
past year and now amounts to IA
little more than half a million
miles each 80 days. The remainder
of the growth is due to the rapidly
increasing confidence of the public
in scheduled transport flying, ac-
cording to Sproule.
There were 5782 passengers on
the airways in 1925, and more than
100000 in 1884," Sproule said IF
the other airlines of the country
are experiencing similar increase in
business, there will be more than
a million people this year who pur-
chase tickets on the airways. Since
1926, when the airlines really be-
gan organized operation, traffic
has increased in proportion to the
knowledge the public held of their
operation. In 1927 there were 1910
passengers and the total jumped TO
40, ,713 in 1923, 173,405 in 1929 and
417,505 in 1890. With an increase
in 1881 to 522,345, it does not seem
unreasonable for the airlines to
anticipate a million passengers in
1882" z

GYPSUM SHIPPED
TO PHILIPPINES
FROM VALLEY

Ten carloads of Imperial county
gypsum left Plaster City last week,
bound for Cebu, city in one of the
groups of the Philippine Islands.
Had this been 10 carloads of can
taloupes. lettuce or some other agr1-
cultural product of Imperial Valley
II would not have been unusual, but
few people realize that Imperial
county has unlimited potential
mineral wealth and that the gypsum
plant operating at Plaster City is
one of the most important plants of
its kind in the country.
I. S. Elliott, manager OF the
Plaster City gypsum plant and
member of the Ell Centre Chamber
of Commerce. states that the order
placed was for $50 tons of raw
gypsum. which made a full cargo
for the steamer "Goldenwall' oper-
ated by the Oceanic and Oriental
Navigation company. The gypsum
was shipped by rail to San Diego
and reloaded at San Diego harbor
for the trip to the Philippine Is
lands.
The staff of the FL Centre cham
Der is informed that the raw gyp-
sum will be delivered at a cement
plant in Cebu, maintained by the
United States government. For
mer shipments to this same plant
have been made and the analysis
of the local gypsum has, in every
case. been very high. 1t is believed
that the low cost of transportation
is a favorable factor in purchasing
Plaster City gypsum for foreign de-
livery as the raw material can be
transported to the harbor of San
Diego much more cheaply than can
that produced in plants further in
land.
In its interest to see further de-
velopment of the mineral resources
of Imperial County, before the let
ting of any contract for construc-
ton of a building ir Ell Centro, the
Ell Centro chamber Immediately
contacts the owner, the architect
and the contractor and urges that
gypsum wall plaster from the Plas-
ter City plant be used in the inter-
ior finishing. This was done in
the case of the United Artists the
atre building, the Davis-Meyer
building and in the new post office.
Usually, Manager Robert Hays of
the local chamber states, the inter-
ested parties are very willing to
use a locally manufactured wall
plaster.
