The Dog Has
 Some Good Points It Is the Worst Enemy of
 the Petty Thief

Some have notion that these are dark days for dogs, but you would not think So if you saw them cavorting about in the lots these fine mornings, apparently in blissful ignorance of the hard things being said about them in the papers. An employe of the dog war den's office toured the south end of the city yesterday, but 1t Is doubtful if he made any arrests. One might not think so, but dogs have Q way of finding out when an effort is being made to curtail their movements and manage to bee have when there is danger of de- tection.
 No doubt there is some truth in what is being said about dam- age done by dogs in tearing up lawns and annoyiny pedestrians. but who can tell but worse things would be happening were it not for the presence of the intelligent w0tch dog. ff Is said that the petty thief coneideren the dog hir worst enemy and would be delighted 10 sec aiI of them put out of com. mission.

ACTIVITIES AT CENTRAL UNION

bers of the first string gave brief
talks, and both coaches told of the
impending game. Freshmen were
ushered from the balcony to the
first floor where they combined
their yelling powers with those of
the other three classes.
Earl Ritter, president of the j.
G. student body appointed Meryal
Meadows, Addison Carter, and
Theodore Baer to decorate the
goal posts for the Phoenix Central
game. Phoenix colors are burnt
orange and blue, while the Arabs
colors are red and black.
The general topics of conversa-

Lusty yells emanating from the
study hall Friday morning gave
proof that the j. c. Arabs were
holding real pep rally in anti
cipation of the Phoenix J.C. versus
Central j. C. game to be played
Saturday night on the local grid
iron. L. B. West, athletic man
ager, read the weights of the Phoe-
nix team; the smallest man weighs
ITO pounds. Coach Bob Taylor
gave a brief talk on our team;
he told of the boys who are in
jured or ineligible, but this dis
heartening news failed to dampen
the spirit of the Arabs. Janet
Underwood, j. c. yell-leader, led
several yells, concluding with "The
axe" yell, while Addison Carter
waved the implement of warfare.
Excitement over the Central
Brawley game ran high on the
Central campus Friday. The big
bonfire, radio rally, and serpentine
held Thursday night started the
spirit that prevailed in the student
body throughout the day of the
game. Assembly was almost en-
tirely devoted to pep rally. Mem

OF
MANY CITIES AT
LOCAL CHAMBER

"Few people realize that the Ell
Centre G Am Der of Commerce
maintains city directory library
which is one of a chain of more
than 400 such Libraries extending
over the entire nation" stated Rob-
ert Hays, manager of the local
chamber, today. Moreover Ell
Centre is the only city in Imperial
county which maintains such di-
rectory library and is one of the
seven cities south of Los Angeles
which have such a service"
The local chamber has city di-
rectories of practically every city
and county in California and very
complete coverance of all the west
ern states. Hays states that many
business people in the city use this
library regularly and that, through
means of this service, the chamber
constantly serves local persons or
visitors who are trying to locate
some person who has moved or
whose address has been lost or
misplaced.
by means of this service" said
Hays, I'VE can answer such ques-
tons as, Who makes dustless mops
in Los Angeles, How many paint
stores are there in San Diego?"
Where can find a patent lawyer
il Los Angeles?' and Who is presi-
dent of one of the San Bernardino
banks?' While these questions may
seem unimportant to some, to the
person asking them they are all
important. Just this week a man
came in trying to locate a couple
in Los Angeles for whom he had a
check amounting tc several hun
dred dollars. He had lost the adj
dress of these people but located
them through the chamber. This
was most important to him and to
the people for whom the check
was intended"
Hays stated that this library is
kept up-to-date and conveniently
arranged not so much for the con-
venience of chamber staff as for
the convenience of the public. He
urges all persons who have need of
this city directory library to use it
at any time and that businessmen
acquaint themselves with the Ii
brary in order that they may be
familiar with it when the need for
it's use arises.
