One-Sleeved Gowns Are

Two sleeves do not make dress.
Paris conturiers are striving to per.

However bizarre may be your

sometimes effective. It's smartest
however, when applied to jackets.

Beware the Cough or
Cold that Hangs On

Persistent coughs and colds lead

emulsified creoSote that is pleasant

inflamed membranes and inhibits
germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is
recognized by high medical author

agencies for persistent coughs and
colds and other forms Of throat
troubles. Creomulsion contains, in
addition to creosote, other healing
elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop

while the creosote goes on to the
stomach, is absorbed into the blood
and attacks the seat of the trouble.

held that office since shortly after
the theatre opened last fall.
Herb Norris always has been
popular with theatre patrons

interest in other and competitive
endeavors in the entertainment
field. He is the biggest Qiterally

Union high school athletic teams,

I want to asure the patrons of
United Artists that the same high
standard which has prevailed since
the house opened will be continued
in the future, and anything we can
do to improve it will be done"
Andrus will leave Ell Centre

coming here. He has made many

COLE To START 100 HOUR
CHEVROLET DRIVE TUESDAY

trip, four days a prisoner, through
the streets OF El Centio, and the
great riding circle that embraces
Holtville Heber and Imperial, will
see mere than just man battling
to keep his eyes wide awake, with
$1,000 at stake.
Sarge will be out to torture tire
oar-to break its stamina down in
its weakest parUS-if he can. The
cunning with which he puts the
Chevy through its tests, with those
forearms about which he can bend
an iron bar, tire fingers that car
tear a Los Angeles telephone book
in tive in one effortless rip, will
put savage determination into tie
effort to ruin the machine in which
he rides. Ee will try to rip the
tires off it, if he can.
He will drive at the utmost speed
of which the car is capable. And.
paradoxically enough, he will give
it a much more severe test, by driv-
ing it as slowly as he can. Auto
motive engineers claim tilat the
toughest test any car car endure
is to drive it in high gear so slowly
that the motor will falter. In
other words the sloweSt car in high
gear has the best motor.
All chance of deceit is impossible.
Tie engine will be sealed by the
city sealer of weights and meas
ures before he starts. Sarge has
picked out a stock car from Wo-
inack's salesrooms. He was told to
take his pick. He chose it blind.
One car doesn't look any different
from another to Sarge.
Sarge has come to Ell Centre di-
rectly from the Century of Prog
ress exposition in Chicago at the
behest OF 13 Ell Centio businessmen
including Roy H. Womack, Chevro-
let; D. E. Carter Oil Co., Hyvis Oil,
Challenge gasoline; Safety Corner
| Service Station, Goodrich tires;
Firestone Service Stores, Inc, brake
tests; Schmitt Electric Co., Philco
radio; Stevens dairy, milk; Joe
Bush, starter, speedometer and gen.
orator service; Valley Auto Supply,
Willard battery; United Artists tie
atre, personal appearance after the
drive; Cal Rector, clothirg; Pom
Pom Night Club, Reno beer; De-.
Goble Hurst, chiropractor; Saddle
Rock cafe, food.
All of Sarge's sponsors intend to
put their products for test under
the destroyer's hands-that is all
of the products that are susceptible
CT such test.
State, county and city police have
his checking points arranged. Sarge
will be under uninterested official
eyes all the time.
Sarge's Tuesday engagements,
timed, will be announced in The
Imperial Valley Press. He is sub
ject to arrest if he violates ary
traffic law or ordinance.

DR.. DUPONT
LOCATED IN
NEW OFFICE

DR.. N. E. Dupont, optometrist, is
now located in his new office at III
South Fifth street, on the ground
floor of the Professional building,
removing from his former location
at 604 Main street on Saturday.
The removal was really a "home-

formerly located in the same place
in the old Davis building which
was destroyed by fire.
An attractive front, finished in
black and light green tile has been
installed. The reception room is
exceptionally well lighted and
pleasantly furnished.
New equipment of the most mod

refracting room, Immediately in
the rear of the reception room
from which it is separated by
drapes. 1t is flanked by the orth-
optics room, the laboratory and
lens grinding department.
DR.. Dupont, who has been de-

Emergency Relief commission, is
justly proud of the attractive new
office and will be pleased to have
friends drop in to inspect it,

Chickens come home to roost, =
and while the hefty man shown
above is no chicken and has not
heretofore been connected with
United Artists theatre, news that
he will hereafter be manager of
the leading local playhouse is well
coined by hundreds of his friends
in FL Centro and other valley cities.
1t may be necessary to identify
him for some residents as Herb
Norris, long connected with the
theatre business in the valley.
Herb came here in 1925, manag-
ing the old Palace theatre, form
erly at Fifth and Main streets,
and the Valley theatre on Main
street, for the William Fox COM
pany. When Fox and the West
Coast theatres built the theatre at
Seventh and State street it was
opened under Herbs direction and
he remained as manager until the
spring of 1882.
For the past two summers he
has conducted the Herb Norris
airdome on Main street and has
also been interested in the theatre
at Holtville.
Saturday night he signed a con-
tract to take over the manage

day, he will start the journey Of
Sarge Cole, WHO is pledged to driVL
a Chevrolet for four days and
nights, chained to the wheel. The
handouts which fasten the former
n-commissioned officer of the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police to
his place in the car will not be un-
locked until mid-afternoon next
Saturday.
The attention of the crowd will
be attracted to the rugged driver,
who has offered $1,000 to tke per-
son who, with two reputable wit
nesses, can find him asleep in the
car during the fatiguing l00-hour
test.
But the car is in for a more diff
ficult test than the man who drives
it. Sarge Cole is a destroyer. The
glory of human endurance was built
into him by IS years service in the
Mounties who never fail to get
their man" There is added poig-
nancy in tire stories of Canadian
air service, which Sarge will noT
permit anybody to tell. The fact
that he drove through a brick wall
at the Century of Progress expo
sition, and received not a scratch
for mis- perilous adventure is testi-
nony eloquent enough. And the
