SALVATION ARMY
DRIVE TO START
NEXT THURSDAY

Ell Centro will De given an OPP
portunity in a material way next
week to show just what it thinks OF
the work the Salvation Army has
been doing here, especially this
winter, for the annual call for
funds to aid the work has been
issued for Thursday, February 4.
In announcing his plans for the
drive, Captain j. W. Myall, who is
in charge of the Army's work here,
states that the campaign will be
conducted entirely by the local Sal
vation Army officials and advisory
board. No outside officials or help
ers will be engaged, thereby re-
ducing the overhead connected with
the drive.
Il feel certain the people of Ell
Centro appreciate the work the
Army is doing" Captain Myall
stated, "and I am willing to stand
or fall by their decision when the
solicitation for funds gets under
way.
This has been an unusually Sc
we're winter for us, with extremely
heavy demands being made upon
our resources. Feeding the hungry
has been a terrific drain upon US,
but we have not turned anyone
down. Our high mark was 391 per-
sons fed in one day. The average
has been in excess of 200.
I'VE have been literally aided
with supplies by the people of this
community but money for the cur
rent operating expenses of the
Army must be obtained. We have
had to use much of this for relief
work and it has handicapped us
heavily"
Fred j. Gianola, cashier of the
Bank of America, and member of
the Army's advisory board, will act
as treasurer for the campaign
Captain Myall said, and those wish
ing to contribute may send checks
either to Gianola or direct to the
Army headquarters.
A member of the advisory board
today pointed out that the work
which the Army has done during
the past few months has been a big
saving to the people of Ell Centro
The number of persons begging on
the streets has been greatly re-
duced, and worthy cases, who would
have had to depend upon the pub
lie for meals, have been cared for
by the Army.
This is an opportunity for the
people of Ell Centro to help a cause,
the worthiness of which cannot be
questioned" he added, land we are
hoping for generous response
from the businessmen and residents
of the city"

Auto Title Law
Proves Success
In Many States

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 30. U.p)
"A reduction of from 30 to 35 per
cent in automobile theft insurance
premiums has been effected in
Pennsylvania since the states
motor vehicle title law went in
effect in 1923, according to s. II.
Hollinger, chief of the title section
of the state bureau of motor ve-

The title law is effective in bring
ing about recovery of many stolen
cars, Hollinger pointed out.
He stated that of 3.757 motor
vehicles stolen during the first 10
months of last year, 2,79l have
been recovered. In other cases,
cars stolen from the state prob
ably have been taken to other
states, which have no title laws.
and sold there under fictitious
bills of sale, he said.
Only 81 other states have title
laws, he said.
Nearly all of the cars stolen in
other states and recovered in
Pennsylvania, when the thieves at
tempted to obtain a Pennsylvania
certificate of title, come from states
which have no title laws, he said

UNITED PreSs)


WASHINGTON. Jan. 30. THE
most difficult post in the consular
service" is the term applied to
Shanghai by state department vet
Grams.
The wheels of commerce in
Shanghai spin busily. Hundreds OF
ships ply in and out of Shanghai
harbor each year, carrying textiles,
machinery and other goods worth
hundreds of millions. More than
million westerners live there on
the fringe of a vast Oriental ma
ton. The seething passions of men
rise in periodic storms, as in the
so-called Shanghai massacre of
1925.
Most American consuls had
stayed there but a short time be-
fore the state department trans
ferred them. That is why Edwin
Sheedan Cunningham colleagues
consider it a tribute that he has
been Shanghai consul general for
more than II years.
Cunningham, 64, large of frame
and keen of mind, white haired,
broad shouldered and serious, is
facing a crisis. Upon his actions
and judgments depends the safety
of some 5000 American civilians i'll
Shanghai and the peaceful rela-
tionS of two world powers.
Because of his wide experience
and his record of having never
made a serious diplomatic error,
the state department is imposing
the deepest confidence in him.
Already the state department has
had occasion to commend Cunning
hams Judgment. When japanese
admiral threatened action in the
international settlement the other
day, the municipal council of
Shanghai, the city's civilian author
ity, wanted to treat with him.
Cunningham, dean of the corps
of foreign consuls, an advisory
body, objected. He pointed out that
Japan had a civilian representa-
tive, the consul general at Shang-
hal, and that it was proper to have
conversations only with him. The
municipal council agreed.
When the state department heard
Of Cunningham's stand, it COM
mended him for his independence
and judgment.
Cunningham was born in Sewer
county, Tenn, in 1868. He studied
law at the University of Michigan,
handled mail bags for the postal
service, worked for a publishing
house and finally, in 1898, entered
the consular service. He has been
in the Far East ever since.

and about as rough and hard fought
as any contest which has been
played here for a long time. CAL
eXico took an early lead in the
first quarter, losing it just before
the period ended At the end of
the half FL Centre was leading 10
to 8.

teams battling on even terms, with
FL Centre managing to eke out
three points. In the fourth period
it was all Ell Centro, with Swink,
and Noyak, who replaced him, ring
ing the basket with regularity. The
fourth quarter score was ID to 4.
Fisher and Novak, with nine and
eight points respectively, were scor-
ing aces for Ell Centro, and Cum
ningham played well on defense.

Baer Defeats
King Levinsky

NEW YORK, Jan. 80. (U.P)-Max
Baer, hard hitting California heavy
weight, staged an impressive come
back last night, pounding out 10
round decision over King Levinsky
of Chicago at Madison Square Gar
den.
Twelve thousand spectators saw
the 202 pound San Francisco bat
tier subject the Chicago fish ped
dler to terrific body battering
Levinskys ribs and stomach were
spfotched with red, raw marks at
the final bell. Levinsky weighed
1885, pounds.
Last year. in the same ring, Baer
suffered a severe trouncing from
Tommy Loughran. But last night
he redeemed himself by beating
Loughran's regent conqueror
Levinsky's best round was the
first, when he bewildered Baer with
a barrage of wild swings to the
head. Most of the action occurred
in the first five rounds, the latter
half of the battle being devoted
largely to long range sniping

Imperial Valley, the second from
the last section of the United States
to lose its white coloring on the
business conditions map of the
Nations Business" magazine, may
be the first to regain this coveted
position if valley crops continue to
bring the satisfactory prices so far
prevailing for winter vegetable
crops, according to r. B. White
law, president of the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce. There will
be little competition for the white"
at any rate, for the economic map
as of January l, is entirely gray
and black, with not even one COM
munity shown as white" or re-
flecting good business conditions.
Frank Greene, editor of Brad
streets, who prepares the Nations
Business map, states that the pro-
cess of liquidation and readjust-
ment continued in an orderly fash
ion as business entered upon the
new year. Liquidation reached rec
ord-breaking proportions in the
last II months, according to Greene
and business liabilities of all kinds
in 1882 sWelled by an unprecedent-
ed number of bank failures, with
an aggregate Of failure damage per-
haps Sc per cent higher than the
previous record total in 1890 When
these conditions existing throughout
the country are carefully consider
ed, it is easily understood why
Imperial Valley remained a white
spot while the remainder of the
country turned gray, and still con-
tinues a fair business section.
December retail trade Greene
reports, advanced over that of
preceding months, while wholesale
business, industry and collections
receded. Mail order sales decreased
ISL per cent during December and
chain stores for the same month
show a decrease of fiv per cent be-
low those of December 1890. De-
partment store sales also fell off Is
per cent below December a year
ago.
There were two things about 1881
which were not necessarily related
but which were interesting" states
Greene. "One was that public
health was generally good the coun-
try over. Reasoning from this,
there seems to have been no i'm
pairment of health despite the talk
of under nouriShment due to hard
times, lack of work and consequent
reduced earnings. The other thing
was the statement by President
Woods of the American meat pack
ers institute that meat consump-
ton increased slightly in the Unit
ed States in 1881.
Final returns of size and value
of the countrys crops, December l
farm prices being taken as a guide
by the bureau of agricultural &C.
onomics, reveal sizable decrease in
corn yield and smaller changes up
or down in other cereals, with crop
values and farm income lower than
for at least 20 years. Study of some
40 odd farm crops over the two
lyears 1929 to 1881 shows that only
twop roductS have advanced in
price, these are grapes and hops. "
Greene concludes with the state
ment that bank clearings still tend
downward, which he states is not
surprising considering the bank
mergers and suspensions noted in
1880 and 1881. For December,
clearings were rather uniformly
lower than year ago, in the
neighborhood of 81 per cent over
the entire country and in the cities
outside New York, while the de-
creases for the year were off re-
spectively 24.5 and 25.2 per cent.

BY DAN E. McGUGIN,

Head Foot Ball Coach, Vanderbilt.
n ASHVILLE, Tenn, october 21.-
nj In the fourth Saturday of
Southern Conference foot ball,
the Vanderbilt University of
Georgia contest here looms extremely
interesting.
Georgia was held to tie by North
Carolina last week, but the field was
bad. Although North Carolina has been
defeated by Tennessee and Vanderbilt
its team is not a poor one by any
means, and while Georgia was defeated
by Tulane she showed great scoring
possibilities and a very spirited attack.
Vanderbilt cannot hope to be as good
this Saturday as she was against
Tulane. The heat and the effort put
forth will take their toll.
Georgia Tech has a good team and
should De able to win from North Caro-
line. Tech has played some fine games
this year with the breaks against her
and keeps coming forward With nne
team spirit all the time.
There Is not much difference between
a good team and a great team. While
thus far In the season Georgia Tech,
Georgia, Auburn, Kentucky and V. P. l..
do not appear to be as strong as Ten
nessee or Alabama. or perhaps quite as
strong as Tulane or Vanderbilt, never
theless they can make tough battle
for any of the conference contenders.
A LABAMA and Tennessee have push
n overs in Maryville and Mississippi.
Florida will have pretty tough one
with North Carolina State and Ken
lucky will have real test against
v. P. I.
The Tulane Auburn game should be
an interesting affair. Auburn has a
brilliant team, beautifully coached a
skillful passing game, some fine running
backs in Hitchcock and others and a
good line. It is a squad under fine
coaching which has been brought for
