YOUNG TEXAS FLYER
 ON ROUND-WORLD HOP
 ARRIVES AT 0MSK! CITY

OMSK, Siberia, June 6, James Mattern landed at 1:35 p. m., Mos kcow time, from Moscow, requiring 12 hours, 21 mnutes for the trip ot 1.4OO miles without stop.
 He is more than five hours ahead of the record. He snatched two hours sleep after his arrival at Moscow. He chafed because 1t was necessary to remain at Moscow nine hours and IT minutes.
 \ He said he fixed rubber bandS tb the stick from the compass Jack allowing sufficient margin to provide for a slight drift to the right: then crossed his legs with the right foot exerting slight pressure on the rudder which equalized the drift and kept the plane on an even course. This is how he got cat maps on the hop, the young Texan flyer explained.
 Mattern plans to remain ln this town until tomorrow. Dispatches gave no reason for the decision but it is thought the idea is to rest here while adjustments to the ship are made.

greatest difficulty was caused by
disqualification of tentative jurors
due to their acquaintanceship with

posted money in the Arizona Hold

funct. From the panel finally ac-

y am happy 10 have seen the

there when most people had their

against the little cliques and fac

that he was impressed by the Pre-

warned:
No man in his } sition can al
ford to be credulous, and of course
he would not be the first Presiden;
to be misguided by excessive credu-

VISITORS ASK
INFORMATION

Inquiries from winter visitors to
FL Centro continue to be received
daily at the Ell Centro Chamber of
Commerce and the number arriy-
ing indicate greatly increased
flow of winter visitors to Southern
California, largely the chamber
staff believes. because of reduced
railroad rates in the past few weeks.
"In speaking of winter visitors, >
states Robert Hays, manager of the
local chamber, 1--WE refer to persons
who are coming to spend a few
months or the entire winter and
who are financially able to make Ell
Centro their temporary home with
out thought of employment. Some
of these visitors write they are COM
ing for their health. some merely
for a winter vacation, but in every
case it is Ell Centro's warm, health
full, winter climate which attracts
them. The following is a typical
inquiry:
% I'VE are impressed with the de-
STABILITY of Imperial Valleys VIM
ter climate and my family and my
self expect to spend one or two
months there during our winter
visit to California. Will you please
send me information concerning
the city. -
Railroads, according to Hays, re-
port increased business and claim
that it is beginning to look like a
real California travel year. The
prospects for a return to pre-de-
preston volume of California rail
travel appears better than for sew
eral years. One reason for the
increase in travel to the west seems
to be that tourist winter travel to
Cuba is decreasing because of inter-
nal troubles and that the decreas-
ing purchasing power of the dollar
abroad and repeal of prohibition In
the United States have caused
many Americans to travel to Cali
fornia from the east this winter,
rather than make accustomed for
eign trips.
"The low level of hotel and re-
sort charges is another argument
in favor of a California winter va
cation,' states Hays. 1.-The reas-
enable rates which have been made
and the reduced railroad fares GER
tainly should attract winter visitors
to Ell Centre as never before be-
cause tourists this year can make
the trip more reasonably than ever
before and perhaps than they will
be able to again.
All inquiry letters to the local
chamber are answered individually,
states Hays, and it is believed that
the writer's will soon arrive in Ell
Centre and call at the chamber, as
they did last year in increasing
numbers, for assistance in getting
located comfortably.
