HIP ASS HEALTH
CAMP RECEIVES
Mail COURTESY

Improved mail service has been
established between Ell Centro and
Hipass. A special mail pouch for
Hipass is made up at Ell Centro each
evening and delivered directly to
Hipass the following morning, the
committee in charge reports. This
is a courtesy of the post office de-
partment especially for the Hipass
health camp during the months of
July and August and will be main
tanned only SO long as there is a
volume of mail to justify it. Par
ents and friends are urged by the
committee to write to the children
at the camp, as they are always
eager to get mail and are made
happy when there are letters for
them. This courtesy is made posi-
BILE by the efforts of G. C.. Jenkins,
postmaster at El Centro, and Post
master Pray at Hipass, in response
to the requests Of John c. Spencer,
director of the camp.
The 40 children in camp, upon be-
ing weighed, show a total under

SLOT MACHINES
TO BE- 0UTLAWED
IN THIS COUNTY

A strenuous campaign against
Imperial Valleys numerous slot
machines and their owners was in
augurated today by District Attor-
ney Elmer w. Heald and Sheriff
George l.. Campbell in a joint
statement issued from both offices,
warning owners of the machines to
dispose of them Immediately.
The district attorney quoted a
code section defining a slot ma
chine. and declared that all ma
chimes in this category will be con-
fiscated after owners have been
given a chance to dispose of them.
The penal code defines slot
machine as "any machine upon the
result or action of which money or
other valuable thing is staked, and
which is operated by placing there
in any coins, checks, slugs, balls or
other articles or devise"
The statement asserts complaints
have been made that persons in
various parts of the county are los
ing more than they can afford by
playing the slot machines and that
children also are permitted to play
them.
Section 330-A of the penal code
prohibits the operation of any type
of slot machine and those having
them in their establishments are
ordered to dispose of them at once.
The district attorney explained that
immediate arrests would not be
made because of the large number
who are operating slot machines,
but that a brief time will be al
lowed them to get rid of the ma
chimes, after which they will be ar
rested if they have not done so.
The county officials assert that
Section 308 of the penal code, pro-
hibiting the sale of tobacco in any
form to persons under 18 years of
age, is also being violated and
prompt arrests will follow any such
cases reported.

LOS ANGELES, July 81. U.P)-
Condition of Aimee Semple Nc
Hutton, evangelist, who is

Mrs. Mcpherson was regarded as

after her faint and physicians said
she had a fracture at the base of

When the evangelist became SER
iously i'll, hundreds of her devout
followers gathered at Angelus Tenn
pie for almost continuous prayer
service in which they asked for her
speedy recovery. AS the evangelist
improved slowly, the prayers did not
slacken.
I'VE still are praying daily for

ROlph's Brother
Dies Following
Short Illness

SAN FRANCISCO, July 81. U.P)-
George M. Rolph, retired president
of the American-Hawaiian Sugar
company and brother of Gov. James
Rolph, jr., died early today in
Stanford hospital.
He suffered a stroke of apoplexy
last Friday while driving his auto
mobile near San Francisco. He
had been in a coma since yesterday.
Governor Rolph was at the
bedside.
Rolph was the third son of the
late James Rolph, pioneer San
Franciscan. He was born here
February 6, 1873.
After leaving school, he entered
the lumber business in Fresno
county. Shortly after 1900 he re-
turned to San Francisco to enter
the sugar industry. He was sent
to Hawaii as manager for Alexander
& Baldwin, and in 1905 returned
to California as manager of the
California and Hawaiian Sugar Re-
inning company at CrOcKeCC.
He became president of the cor
poration 10 years ago, holding the
post until he retired last October
because of Ill health.
Under Rolph's supervision, Croc-
kett became a nationally known
model industrial community.
Rolph was drafted by Herbert
Hoover during the World war to
become sugar administrator.
In 1896, Rolph married his boy
hood sweetheart, Lillian Ashton
daughter of a pioneer San Fran
cisco real estate dealer. He is sur
vived by his widow; two daughters,
Mrs. Donald Mckee and Mrs.
George Stevenson, both of San
Francisco, and five grandchildren.

of the way and was given a ride
part of the way.
After being booked last night, Py-
burn asked if any officer knew of
a job he could get after his release.
He was informed all officers will
keep a close watch for a position of
any kind.
The first voluntary prisoner at
the Jail was w. B. Arnold, SO, who
tried three times to gain admit
tance on a sentence of 100 days
for reckless driving, in default of a
5000 fine. The last time he brought
the commitment papers from Cal
ipatria, and was admitted. This
was last Friday.

Late August will mark the open
ing of the 100000 Davis-Meyer
building at the corner of Fifth and
Main streets and will add to the
business district of El Centre one
of the handsomest office buildings
| in Imperial Valley.
The splendid two-story structure
is fire and earthquake proof,
equipped with central cooling and
heating system, elevators and many
other of the most modern con-
veniences designed for office
buildings.
One of the most interesting and
important features of the new
building is the enduring and prac-
tical type of construction. Rein
forced steel is utilized throughout.
! The only wood in the building is
found in the mahogany doors and
the wire mouldings. Steel columns
rise from six and one-half feet
concrete bases sunk to a depth of
four feet. Steel girders add to the
stability. Special grooved nails are
so constructed that it is practically
impossible for them to work out
after once being driven into the
steel used.
Concrete floors and roof, metal
lath, steel partitions and other new
structural developments were used
A., by the builders in making the
Davis Meyer building.
Space for seven stores is found
on the first floor, three on Fifth
street and four on Main street. A
spacious lobby on Fifth street will
contain accommodations for the
sale of confectionery and cigars.
Glass portals will enclose the space
| for stAirways and elevator service.
There also will be lobby on Main
| street.
The second floor is devoted to
suites of offices for doctors and
dentists, who were permitted to
assist in planning their own
quarters.
Built BY Pioneers
Terrazzo flooring will be utilized
in the corridors and lobby and
linoleum will be used in the suites
Of offices.
Arcades decorated in ornamental
tile, gay awnings and plate glass
windows will add to the attraction
of the cream stucco exterior. A
two-inch gunnite finish was applied
to the exterior of the second floor.
The Davis-Meyer building was
built upon the site of the disastrous
fire of New Years morning when
the original Davis building was
destroyed.
The builders are C. E. Davis of
Long Beach, former valley resident
and long identified with the busi-
ness development of Ell Centre, and
H. P. Meyer, president of the I'M
perial Valley Hardware company
and identified with many local
enterprises. Jasper L. Travers, ri-
oneer contractor, supervised con-
Struction as he did 20 years ago
upon the first Davis building.
The building permit was issed
April 25, almost 20 years from the
date construction of the first build
ing began. Since that date an av-
erage of 45 workmen have been
employed at the building site.
Businessmen in the vicinity of
Fifth and Main streets report that
there has been little noise and no
confusion resulting from activities
at the Davis-Meyer building and
are enthusiastic concerning the
manner in which the entire con-
struction was managed. Several
declared no interference with busi-
ness had resulted.
