G.NSO.-A heavy rainstorm con-
tinued to rage here and at Ell
Centro today, causing flock condi-
tions in the Imperial Valley. Irri-
CATION bitches were broken in
several places.
An earthquake shock, the ninth
in the last two days, was felt in
the Valley at 12:45 a. m. today,
causing considerable excitement.
There was little damage.
Many residents of both cities
fled through the rain to buildings
of sturdy construction following
a heavy earth tremor of Is sec
onds' duration yesterday after
noon.
A quake at $50 o'clock last
night shattered the windows of a
hardware store in Brawley and
temporarily put the city's lighting
system out of commission.
The quakes added to the con-
fusion caused by the steadily
mounting rainwaters. Rainfall
had totaled more than two inches
and the doWnpour was continuing
throughout the Imperial Valley.

their majesties' arrival. The Duke and
Duchess Of York and their children are

ready at Mar lodge.
Princess Arthur has greatly changed
the interior of her Scottish home since
the death of her mother, the late
Princess Royal, and lot Of unwanted
tographs, china and old furniture have
recently been sold by auction.

Princess Arthur will be the hostess
at the famous Braemar gathering in
September. and it is possible, if weather
permits, that the King and Queen will
attend the games this year.
Their majesties are expecting to en-
tertain a number of personal friends
at Balmoral, and though the former
custom OF having minister in attend
ance when the sovereign is at the castle
has long been dispensed with, several
members of the government and their
wives will be visiting Balmoral this year.
Among the first ministerial guests will
be the prime minister and Miss Ishbel

themselves in the production of various
kinds Of handwork She has taken an
interest in this employment scheme

HARVARD SHORT HAIR TRIM
HAVING WIDESPREAD VOGUE
Summer Camp Barber Believed to Have Started Pop
ularity for Groton, Grew Style, of Bobbng.

BOSTON (N.A.N.A.).-A Groton
schoolboy has Joined the major leagues
and the "Groton" hair cut has reached
the sandlots.
How the name started is not quite
clear, but the fact Is that the close
cropped hair cut that for several years
has adorned the classic brows Of the
Harvard crew men has spread like Wild
fire. The past year found 1t all the
rage among high school boys. and this
Summer the Fairgrounds are filled with
them.
With the spreading Of the idea have
come many changes in the name. In
many places it's the Harvard"
Sometimes the "rah rah" and the
white"
Style Of Cutting Varies.
The styles Of cutting are also varied.
The barber turns out very neat Job
in the form of a close pompadour
tapered on. neatly, and the charge in
some places Is 10 cents extra. Accord
ing to one barber, the boys simply ask
for a Harvard" hair cut.
Then there's the homemade "Groton,
very popular in the Summer and very
close to the scalp. Anybody's brother
or father can do a neat job with this
style.
One theory on the origin of the name
is that the Harvard crews on their
annual training stay at Red Top are
isolated 80 many weeks they prefer to
rough 1t. A close cropped hair cut by
the camp barber does away with combs
and brushes.
As there are usually a large number
