Ia SOLANA
OPENS DOORS

Every modern feature designed
for such a building was incorpor-
ated in La Solana hospital which
yesterday was dedicated to the
public and to the medical profess
sion of Imperial Valley.
While the handsome structure at
1907 Hamilton avenue contains
equipment and facilities to COM
pare with an institution many
times its size, the surroundings are
attractive and pleasant and the
usual cold, hospital" appearance
IS surprisingly absent. Yesterday
baskets of flowers from well wish
ers crowded the reception room
and Railways.
Walter Bargum, manager of the
new hospital, and his staff of
nurses received visitors all day
yesterday and personally conduct
ed callers through the building. At
the conclusion of the tour, tea
was served in the immaculate
kitchen in the basement.
The attractive reception room
and pleasant Railways connect
private rooms, double rooms and
rooms in which two and three pa
tients may be accommodated. Rest
full, harmonious colors are COM
bined to make each room a pleas
ant place for those who are ill.
Every time a group viewed the
nursery with its rows of tiny
white beds, a chorus of "ohs" and
"ahs" arose. Awed respect was
accorded the surgery, delivery,
sterilization, X-ray and experiment
tai departments. The first floor
also contains an isolation room for
patients with contagious diseases,
diet kitchen, supply rooms and
bathrooms.
In the basement is found the
kitchen, a colorful dining room for
the nurses and living quarters for
the orderly. A dressing room for
the nurses also is provided.
A central cooling and heating
system, dust proof windows, sun
porches for convalescent patients
and many other features make up
the facilities and conveniences of
the hospital.
La Solana brings to Ell Centro
an institution of which residents
may well be proud.

Finish In Court

William Hicks, 33, Negro, was at
tempting to effect peaceable set
tlement to marital difficulties last
ngiht when Officers Sam Cox and
T. P. Farmer appeared upon the
scene to halt an argument between
Hicks and his wife, he told Judge
Lee Nuffer in police court this
morning.
Hicks suffered the most during
the argument, as his face attested
this morning. Various bruises and
small cuts gave evidence to the ef-
fectiveness of Mrs. Martha Hicks
aim in throwing the family clock
at her loving spouse.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Hicks plead
ed guilty to being drunk and dis
turbing the peace. Sentences Of five
days in Jail, with alternative fines

Voting Total Sets
NeuU High Record
Continued From Page u

won sis second term, in 1916, over
Charles Evans Hughes, Republican,
by margin of slightly less than
100000 votes.
Socialist Vote Increases
A feature Of this years balloting
the tabulations showed, was the in
creased vote for Thomas, the So
cialist candidate. In 1928, running
as a candidate of the same party,
he polled only 1920 votes.
Other minor parties, however,
failed to make corresponding in
crease in strength over that record
ed four years ago.
William 2. Foster, running as the
candidate of the Workers party in
1923, polled 48,770 votes. Hhis show
ing this year as the Communist
candidate was negligible in states
that have reported his vote.
In several states, among them
West Virginia, Oklahoma, and Ne
vada, the names of minor party
candidates were not on Tie ballots.
Total for minor party candidates
included: w. D.. Upshaw, Prohi-
bition, 266,658; Verne L. Reynolds,
Socialist-Labor, $3.50, and William
z. Foster, Communist, 8,744. Up
shaw polled his heaviest vote in CAL
ifornia, Reynolds in Ohio and Fos-
ter in Ohio.
The state totals were for the
most part unofficial and in some
cases were incomplete, official can
vases not yet having been made.
This was especially true of the vote
for Norman Thomas and other
minor party candidates.

Olson, on charges of having mur-
dered their friend, Charles j.

step.
She testified she had gone to the
residence of Walter Hargis, a rel
ative, after dinner that evening
and had taken Hargis and some
friends riding in Pasadena, return

". Y. Stocks

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-(U.P)-
Stocks broke l to more than 4
points in dull tournoyer today but
recovered partially before the close.
Divided news played a part on
the downslide, but favorable divi-
dend action in several instances
failed to aid the stocks on which
payments were ordered.
Omission of the usual stock
divident paid by R. H. Macy sent
that stock crashing more than 4
points, unsettled the whole mar
ket. American Telephone g. Tele-
graph company declared its regu-
lar divident short after the Macy
action, but it had only momentary
effect. American Sugar declared the
regular dividend and the stock
dipped a point. Chesapeake & Ohio
on which a regular was ordered
yesterday, held well in an otherwise
weak railroad list
Steel common broke more than
points to 35ls and regained a
small part of the loss. The preferred
was down more than point. News
from the steel industry was mixed.
The rate of production held we'll on
increased demand from automobile
makers, but other steel users were
making further curtailment of or
ders and prices we're weaker in sew
eral instances.
Automobile shares ruled firm for
a time on increased output esti-
mates, but joined the decline la
ter, Chrysler at one time being off
a point. Mack trucks dipped more
than point.
According to preliminary calcu-
lation, the Dow, Jones g. Company
industrial average stood at 1924,
off 200 points, railroad 1926, off
1.13 points and utility 1926, off 0.67
Sales were 100000 shares, COM
pared with 100000 shares yester-
day Aggregate market value of
10 leading stocks was $5,738, 683, $50
against SIS ,940,06O,411 yesterday, a
decline of $200,376,861.

STATE TO ACT
ON DANGEROUS
SPOT IN ROAD

In reply to a communication
sent several days ago to the state
division of highways by the Ell
Centre Chamber or Commerce,
concerning the need of a change
in the pitch or size of the curve
on the Imperial Valley-San Diego
highway just east of Boulder Park,
where a fatal accident occurred
last week, a letter was today re-
ceived by the local chamber from
S. V. Courtelyou, district engineer
in charge of that portion of the
highway. Courtelyou states that
the maintenance engineer of the
division Of highways, district sew
en-, will Immediately investigate
this section of highway.
The district engineer states that
he plans to investigate this curve
which has caused a great number
of accidents in the past few weeks.
In the meanwhile the maintenance
engineer will go over this sector of
road and see what further steps
can be taken to give greater warn
ing and protection to the travelling
public.
The local chamber has for two
weeks been urging that warning
signals be erected just west of this
turn, where the new pavement on
the highway meets the old. Re-
flector signs are to be erected by
the Automobile Club of Southern
California and until these signs are
placed temporary sign has been
set up at the top of the curve.
Robert Hays, manager of the Ell
Centro chamber, has also taken
the matter up with the highway
department in the belief that some
change can be made in the roadbed
which will tend to eliminate the
danger. 1t is expected that the
maintenance department of the di-
vision of highways will make a
recommendation along this line
within the next few days.

Jean Harlow, Mae Clark and Marie
Provost are the Three Wise Girls ,
who star in the play of that name
which is booked for tonight only
at United Artists theatre.
Miss Harlow is the small town
girl who follows one of her chums
to the big city hoping for sue
cess. She is astounded when she
learns her friend is keeping COM
pany with a married man, and
even more SO when she discovers
that man whom she has found
interesting is also married.
Disguised with the city when
her chum ends her life over her
unhappy romance, the girl returns
to the small town and there is
found by the man whom she real

divorce in order to marry her.
Walter Byron and Jameson
Thomas are cast as the men in the
play, while Andy Deyine is cast
as the hard-boiled chauffeur who
is in love with the third girl and
keeps tab on her.
Masculine ears will burn, ac-
cording to the critics, when they
hear the "Three Wise Girls, Civ
ing their views on men and their
ways. The dialogue is cracking
with sharp digs at the men and
the way the girls of the big cities
work" them.

SHRINE TEAM

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 16. W.P)
-Rumors that Andy Kerr might
not be invited to coach the all-east
eleven in the annual Shrine bene-
fit east-west football game here
New Years day if his Colgate
team is chosen to play the Pasa-
dena Rose Bowl game were de-
MED today.
Should Kerr's eleven be invited

not affect his standing as coach of

rector of the Shrine game, said.
Kerr will continue to function
with Dick Hanley of Northwestern
