TO
NAME CHOICE
FOR QUEEN

Letters have been sent by the
El Centric Chamber of Commerce
to the principal of every school in
Imperial county, asking that a
queen be entered in the fall OPEN
ing parade in the person of some
fair maiden, girl or miss, petite or
stately, blonde, titan or raven
haired, who would be a fitting rul-
er to reign during the annual fes-
tival which welcomes in the fall
season. That interest is strong in
the various schools of the COM
munity is indicated by the number
of telephone calls which have been
received at chamber headquarters
concerning the choice of queen.
Some are being chosen by students
informally, some with the approval
of the teachers and in some schools
balloting is the progress which
has all the excitement and in
tereSt of national election.
The various queens of the in
dividual schools will be presented
in the fall opening parade at 100
O'Clock, Saturday, October 81, and
choice will be made of the Queen
of Autumn at that time. Elaborate
costumes are not necessary and the
queen and her court may walk or
ride for the judges will base their
decision on the manner, carriage
and personality of the queen and
her encourage rather than on cos
tune, although a fitting decorated
setting for each individual miss
will present her to advantage.
Who are the judges?" said j.
Duke Johnson, general chairman
Of the fall opening and merchan-
disc festival, today. well, you
know, we have not chosen them

MATHES BACK
FROM LENGTHY
TRIP TO EAST

A most pleasant and enjoyable
6OOO-mile automobile trip has just
been completed by Mr. and Mrs.
James H. Mathes of this city. The
trip took them almost to the east
crn coast.
Leaving here the tourists drove
east by way of San Bernardino, Las
Vegas, Salt Lake City and Casper,
Wyo., TO the Black Hills of South
Dakota where they visited the Cool
idge mountains and the summer
White House of the former Presi-
dent. They also saw Mt. Rushmore
where figures Of Thomas Jefferson,
Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham
Lincoln are being carved out OF
the Solid granite of the mountain
side. The head OF Washington is
completed and is sixty feet from
crown to chin. The Cave of the
Winds was also visited and found
most interesting.
The next stop was maue in Min
nesota, former home OF Mrs.
Mathes, where the travellers visited
with her sister, brother and friends
for a week.
From there they journeyed on to
The Century of Progress in Chicago
by way of Milwaukee. The far

and intellectual standpointS and
declared wonderful, particularly
the illumination effects.
Starting ON the homeward trek

and friends were visited. A shirt

NEW LOW RAIL
RATES QUOTED
AS TRAVEL AID

Action of the western railroads
in cutting their basic first class
rates from 3.6 to cents a mile,
and elimination of the Pullman
surcharge, effective December l.
should tremendously stimulate
tourist travel to the Pacific coast
this winter, according to Felix S.
McGinnis, vice president of the
Southern Pacific company.
A reduction of slightly more than
25 per cent will be made in the
cost of first class roundtripS from
Chicago to the Pacific coast. The
first class winter roundtrip fare
from Chicago to principal cities on
the coast will be about Sill as
compared with $143.78. Reduction in
the roundtrip cost of Pullman
lower berth will amount to $l5.76,
giving total reduction of S48.54,
McGinnis said.
The first class one way fare from
Chicago will be $66.55 as COM
pared with the present $79.84 fare,
with the same general fare adj
justment applying to eastbound
traVel,sit was stated. Also the 2-cent
annie coach fares, similar to those
placed in effect by Southern Pacific
early last summer, will be available.
with the unfayorable exchange
situation abroad, and the drastic
reduction in cost of travel, McGin-
mis- stated, there is greater in
ducement for fasteners to visit
the Pacific coast this winter, adj
ding stimplus to the tourist bust
ness which is one of the Vests
principal industries.
For local travel on the Pacific
coast, the reduction in first class
one way fares and removal of the
Pullman surcharge, are most inn
portant, augmenting the round
