Pains

of the trouble should be started
without delay.

patterned carpet with eyes that
suddenly seemed to see a great
deal.
She had been married six months
happy months, yes, decidedly
happy and yet 49,.
"Temperamentally Dennis is
your exact opposite"
Barbara's words came back to
her with in%aistent truth. Dennis
was not in the least sentimental
he hated what he called "slosh."
Now Pauline came to think of it,
he hardly eve used any terms of
endearment when he spoke to her.
Pauline sighed. 1t was the lit
tie things of life that were SO dis
appointing, she decided. Only last
night, for instance, he had come
home earlier than usual from the
City and had gone straight down
to the garage and had tinkered
about with the car.
When they were first married
his first thought would have been
for her-or-wouldn't it?
Pauline submitted herself to a
stiff cross-examination. Perhaps
she had been unwise. 1t was a
mistake to show you were too
found of a .man-Barbara had al
ways said that-Barbara who was
SO cynically worldly wise.
But even Barbara admitted to
being in love! Pauline wondered
who the man could be, and decid-
ed hat it was probablp the mar
ried man with whom she had late
ly been going about.
A bell pinged through the house
and she changed hurriedly and
went downstairs. Peterkln was a
lone in the drawing room-Bar-
bara had not yet appeared-and
Pauline went up to him with an
unconscious little sigh of relief
"It's so nice to see you, Peterkin.'
"Glad to see me?" he asked jerk
lily. Me looked down at her, but
he kept his hands firmly clasped

BY SPECIALIST

Physicians from all parts of the
valley gathered at the Ten Thou
sand club this morning to watch
DR.. F. M. Pottenger of Monrovia,
world famous tuberculosis special
ist, conduct a demonstration clinic.
DR.. Pottenger was brought to the

purpose of the clinic was to exam
inc patients and to serve as an ex-
tension course for valley doctors

nique of tuberculosis examinations.

school.
Only those patients referred to
Dr.. Pottenger by valley physicians

children and small youngsters. Case
histories were taken by volunteer
workers and the patients turned
over to DR.. Pottenger who made
X-ray examinations, gave tubercu-
lin tests as we'll as other exami-
nations. Patients who came from
such distant points as inland were
at the club house at O'Clock pa
tiently awaiting their turn. Every
district of the valley was repre-
sented and during the morning va
rious physicians dropped in to
watch the specialist at work.
William Ford Highly, executive
secretary for the state tuberculosis
association, accompanied DR.. Pot
tenger. Assisting DR.. Pottenger

MONTH QUIET
FOR POLICE

Apparently the law abiding ele-
ment had the upper hand in Ell
Centro during the month of Nov
ember, for report prepared by
Bill Mitchell, desk sergeant at the
police station, showed only n ar
rests made during the month, and
total collection from all sources
OF only $579.85.
General fines amounted to $191,
traffic fines brought in $3.50, oc-
cupation licenses $25675, and dog
taxes $210.
Traffic tickets issued during the
month amounted to total of IL,
only six less than the tctal num-
ber of arrests for greater offenses.
Twenty prisoners were arrested
during the month for vagrancy, 18
for drunkenness and seven for in
vestigation. No other single Of
fenSe accounted for the arrest of
more than three prisoners. One,
Henry Kines, Negro, was arrested
on a charge of murder.
Disposition of police court cases
was made in various ways, Is de-
PENDANTS paying fines, 16 serving
sentences. Several are still pend
ing. Other. prisoners were turned
over to other authorities.

SUPREME COURTS VERDICT WILL
PREVENT CLEAR TITLES TO LAND

"As a result of the ruling, a re-
versal of a former decision, other
property will be on the same status
as certain property in Holtville.
Five street improvement bonds have
liens against it as do city, coun-
ty and district. Thirty EIGHT houses
there are rented and the rents COL
lected by persons who do not pay
a dime of taxes to city, county or
district. There is some property in
the district which has not paid a
dime in taxes to any unit of gov
ernment for Is years.
This decision of the state SUI
preme court will keep all units from
getting anything" Rose concluded.
The decision of the court fol-
lowed almost two years of litiga-
tion on the part of San Diego coun-
ty to force La Mesa, Lemon Grove
and Spring Valley irrigation dis
tricts to pay county taxes on lands
acquired by the districts through
delinquencies in assessments.

GENERAL NEW
CHANCELLOR
Won Schleicher Named By Ger
man President AS Successor
To Won Papen.
BY III. A. PETERS
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Dec. 2.-Gen. Kurt Won
Schleicher, iron man" of German
politics, today was named chan
cellor, minister of defense and
reich's commissioner in Prussia.
These positions make him the most
powerful individual in the history
OF republican Germany.
Won Schleicher succeeded Kranz
Won Papen as chancellor, retained
the portfolio of defense he held in
the last cabinet, and became vir-
tual dictator of Prussia and its eff
ficient police form of 10000 mcn.
He thus controls both the reich
swehr Irregular army and the
PruSSian police, the two largest
military organizations in the reich,
in addition to heading the civil
| government as chancellor.
The presidents choice of a new
chancellor narrowed down to Won
Schleicher and Ex-Chancellor Won
Papen after Adolf Hitler, Nazi
leader, refused to cooperate with a
coalition regime. Hitler maintained
his demand for all or nothing"
regarding the chancellorship.
Selection of Won Schleicher was
believed in political circles to have
avoided possible extensive revision,
or perhaps even scrapping, of the
republican constitution adopted at
Weimar. If Won Papen had re-
turned to the chancellorship, bit
ter struggle with the reichstag
would have been inevitable.
Won Schleicher wanted TO avoid
a constitution crisis. Although he
cooperated closely with Won Papen
he was willing to sacrifice the ex-
chancellor and assume direction OF
the government himself.
The new chancellor has been a
maker and breaker of cabinets
from behind the scenes. He was re-
/ cognized as one of the most pow-
erful figures in Germany. Won
Schleicher has played the role OF
a hermit in German politics al
though he has none of the hermit's
characteristics. He is a handsome
4 jovial officer, well-known figur5
in society, a man who is seen al
the most important social and pub
lie gatherings.
! Won Schleicher's personality anc
devil-may-care attitude may yielc
the key to the Won Schleicher mys-
terry.

FACE CHARGES

K. M. Sato, 80, and K. Uyeda,
81, Japanese, were removed to Los
Angeles from the Imperial county
Jail yesterday afternoon by Off
GERS Sanderson and Giese of the

for an attack on Sci Fujii, publish
er of the japanese Daily News.

POSTAL RECEIPTS
SHOW INCREASE

Postal receipts for November
this year were $737.79 in excess of
receipts for November of last year,
indicating a satisfactory increase
in business at the local post office.
The receipts for this November
were $4984.63 and for November
last year were $4246.84, according
TO a report made today by C. C.
jenkins, local postmaster
This increase is in line with the
1901 gain for the months of July,
August and September, 1892, over
the same period in 1881. The gain
in October this year was $140O
over October 1881, jenkins said.
An interesting feature of the re-
port was that the local post office
sold a greater number of three
cent stamps during the first five
months since the new stamps came
INTO effect than it did of two cent
stamps during a corresponding per-
iod last year.
All mail boxes in the city of Ell
Centro are resplendid in new green
paint. The task of painting the
boxes recently was completed.

President-Elect Decides To Cut
Vacation Short Because OF
State Duties.
BY FREDERICK A. STORM
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Staff Correspondent
WARM SPRINGS, Ga, Dec. a.
President-elect Franklin D. Roose-
velt today decided to cut short his
vacation here and return to Al
bany in time for the extraordinary
session of the New York state leg
islature called for December 9.
Advisers of the President-elect in
dicated that progressive Republic
cans who contributed to the over
whelming Democratic victory would
share patronage in the new admin
istration.
An indication of this was seen
in the invitation extended to Sena-
tor Bronson Cutting, Oh New Mex
leo. and Senator Hiram johnson, of
California, to stop off in Warm
Springs where Roosevelt is spend
ing vacation.
Cutting was expected some time
this week. 1t was regarded as doubt
full that Johnson would arrive, be-
cause the invitation to Warm
Springs reached California atIer
his departure for Washington.
Roosevelt had not only the sup
port of Cutting and Johnson, who
.bolted the Hoover organizatin, but
that of Senator George Norris, OF
Nebraska, and the La Follette-Re-
publican Progressive group in Wis
conSin.

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Dec. 2.
(U.P)-It isn't in the cards to have
peace exist between Governor
Rolph and Charles c.. johnson,

This time it was state park
bonds.
johnson fired the first shot with
charge that Governor Rolph,
through pure carelessness" failed
to sign $750,000 worth of state
bonds thereby holding up their sale
scheduled for yesterday and "em-
barrassing" the state treasurer.
Governor Rolph came back with
this:
"Johnson's statement is nothing
more or less than political propa-
ganda issued maliciously by him
in an endeavor to benefit his own
political aspirations. 1t was Mr..
Johnson's duty to have those bonds
signed, countersigned, endorsed,
sealed and in his possession before
he called bidders to Sacramento. u

Former Convict

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 2. up
Gus C. Harrison, former Walla
Walla prison convict, was exoner-
ated posthumously today in the
murder of Mrs. Wilma Mcfarland
in a candy store holdup year
ago.
Harrison was felled by police
bullets early yesterday after re-
sisting arrest for questioning. Sim
ilarity of bullets led police to be-
lieve at first that the victim may
have been the assassin of Mrs. Nc
Farland but ballistic experts later
said the ex-convict's gun was not
the same as that which fired the
fatal holdup shot.

AS a result of the state supreme
courts decision that irrigation dis
tricts must pay county taxes on
lands acquired by delinquencies in
district assessment payments, it
will be impoSs;D:e Tor municipali-
ties, counties or districts to give a
clear title to such lands, was an
opinion expressed here today by
Mark Rose, director of the Imperial
Irrigation district.
I'm the case of the irrigation dis
trict," Rose said "it will be possible
to collect something from this de-
linquent property as Imperial dis
trict already has provided 81 per
acre foot water toll for delinquent
property. The toll could be raised.
The toll is SO cents where the pro-
perty is not delinquent. I fail to
see how city and county can COL
lect anything.
I'VE anticipate that 25 per cent
of the city property will be af-
fected. Water tolls do not apply in
that case.
