son, another reputable economist,
has agreed to similar conclusions.
But having accepted these con-
clusions, and forgetting the mar
gin of error in the facts upon which
they are based, most inquirers ask
the natural question, $50 what?"
What does technocracy offer as a
solution to the problem? It's pres
ent theory is destructive only. 1t
would destroy the price system, the
dollar system, and the haphazard
system of uncharted production and
labor. But with what would it re-
place these agencies?
At this point, technocrats go sud-
denly silent. Or they say: "But
that enters into another field in
which we have no concern"

Explains Genus
OF PoIo Verdes

Palo verde trees are not really
palo verde trees at all but rather
Jerusalem thorn trees or Parkin-
son Aculeata according to the
highest botanical authorities, states
j. B. Norton, plant pathologist of
the agricultural commissioner
office.
To be sure, any green tree is a
palo verde, if the name is trans
lated into English, states Norton,
but botanists recognize by that
name desert shrub, small in size,
which is native to this district.
Technically speaking, that is the
palo verde.
The palo verde as cultivated in
the valley appears in tropic and
subtropical countries and is found
in the old world. It's native hab-
itat is unknown, although Mexi-
can authorities point out that
since the plant is known by Aztec
names in their country it probably
is a native of Mexico, brought to
Europe by the Spanish and Port
ugueSe conquerorS and later REIN
troduced into this country as a
cultivated tree.
Norton points out that this is
true of certain SpecICs of tam

WOMAN DRIVER
MIGHTY LUCKY

Mrs. j. Mccoy of Calexico es-
capped death by a narrow margin
.ate yesterday when her car over
turned on the San Diego highway
near Salt Creek, west of Seeley,
plowed "a feet on its side, catapult-
ed Sd feet Through the air over an
embankment, bounded another 40
feet and finally came to rest in
the water of Salt Greek.
Mrs. Mccoy, bruised and bleed
ing but still conscious, climbed out
through the window of the coupe.
She was taken to Seeley by a pass
ing motorist, and from there was
taken to her home at Calexico by
her husband and son.
w. j. Keating, deputy sheriff
investigated the accident. Incred-
ulous of the distance the car had
travelled after turning on it's side
the officer measured the spaces.
Mrs. Mccoy was travelling east
according to Keatings report, when
she lost control of the automobile
as the wheels went off the pave
ment. She said another car crowd
ed her from the road.
The right wheels of the coupe
were tipped up by an embankment,
and the car turned on its side.
For "a feet it slid over the ground
Then, leaving the embankment
the coupe spun through the air
for 81 feet Striking the ground
with terrific impact, it turned
over several times before coming
to rest in Salt Creek.

Gilmore Lions
Win Ouer Maroons

Emerging from a tough scrap
apparently the best team of four,
the Gilmore Lions last night de-
teated the Maroons 81 to %, after
the Imperial team had eked out a
80 to 81 victory over the Imperial
Valley Hardware team.
In previous games the Lions and
Maroons had defeated the Imperial
and Hardware teams, SO that last
nights ace game was a battle of
winners.
Coates and Littlefield starred for
Gilmore on the high school court
last night, while Dugan and Ten
wolde we're high point men for the
Maroons. Merriman and Adair
we're stars for the Imperial team,
ard Fisher led the Hardware at
tack.
Two games next Monday night
at the high school gym will bring
the Hardware and Gilmore teams
together at 7 o'clock, with the I'M
perial and Maroon fives meeting at
8 o'clock.

URGE WORKERS
To REG|ST

Transients and persons from
other communities who are coming
TO Ell Centre hoping to find work
on the new post office building are
warned by Robert Hays, manager
OF the Ell Centre Chamber of Com
merce, that there is enough local
lanor available for this work and
tnat outside residents will find a
trip to Ell Centre useless.
Work on the new edifice mas not
yet commenced and George Hal
lett, construction engineer of the
Union Engineering Company, has
assured the chamber manager that,
wnen work does start, local labor
Will be employed as far as possible.
Hays states that Capt. w. N. Cum
ningham of the U. S. Employment
service, and Phil knights city en-
gineer, have list of local men, all
bona fide residents of Ell Centro,
who are available for this work
and, If Ell Centre cannot furnish
enough men, other valley cities can
certainly supply all the workmen
which will be needed without call
Ing for workers who do not reside
in Imperial Valley.
All local men who desire work
are urged to register with Cunning
ham or Knights, as all persons look
ing for men are referred to these
two sources by the Ell Centre Cham
Der. This registration takes care of
local persons who desire work and,
as neither Cunningham nor knights
will register persons who are not
bona fide Imperial county resi-
dents, it protects local men against
being crowded FROM jobs which may
become available by outside labor.
I'VE have nothing to do with the
hiring of men for any kind of work
at the chamber of commerce"
stated Hays today. 1.-THE chamber
staff is interested in seeing that
local men are employed on all road
and construction work, as well as
in the fields and packing sheds.
We contact all employers and urge
that they use local labor, checking
as far as possible on those employ
ed, but we have nothing to do with
the hiring or listing of available
men and therefore urge that the
U. s. employment service and city
engineers office be used as a clear
ing house for local labor"

COUNTY JAIL
HOUSES THIEF

Honor among thieves, and all
that, passed entirely over the head
of j. A. Porras Rivera, 81, with the
result that a fellow prisoner yes
terday afternoon informed county
Jail officials in no uncertain terms
that the bastille housed a thief,
strange as it might seem.
The victim prisoner, who is held
on federal charge, told iailers
that he was loser by just $13, re-
moved from his person while he
slept quietly in his cell.
Rivera was being taken to the
court house for arraignment on
a charge of burglary, and as he
left the Jail was searched. He
had the $13. He admitted stealing
ii from the other prisoner.
There was nothing officers could
do. They could not throw Rivera
in Jail, because he already is in
Jail. A misdemeanor charge of
petty theft would mean nothing
to him, because he already faces
a felony charge of burglary.
So Rivera was returned to his
cell, with warning that any fur
ther crime committed while he is in
Jail will result in stern disciplinary
measures.

NEW YORK, Jan. SIN advanc-
ing their theories that civilization
is verging toward a breakdown be-
cause of the unlimited productive
capacity of mankind, due to the
machine age - and because the
price system" is incapable of cop
ing with this situation-the tech
nocrats have presented figures,
charts, graphs, and formulae.
The facts" are impressive-if
they are facts. It is worthy of note
that the very figures presented by
some technocrats have been chal-
lenged as inaccurate to the point
of absurdity, by some of the in
duStrialiSts whose businesses have
been analyzed by the Columbia
group.
Technocracy says that "a mod
ern straight-line continuous brick
plant will produce 100000 bricks a
day per man." r. S. Tolden, New
Jersey Brick association engineer,
says that few plants in this coun-
/ try, even of the best design, can
produce more than 1000. Other
similar statements have been assail-
ed by trade magazines such as
Iron Age" and by textile mill op-
orators.
On the other hand, many of the
facts elected by technocracy are
readily susceptible of proof, and are
of unquestioned Importance in any
consideration of the present state
of the economic world.
The technocrats say they have
studied 5000 leading commodities,
ranging from wheat and cotton to
steel and power; that several hun
dred charts have been completed,
tracing the energy used in the pro-
duction of each commodity
These charts reveal, they say, the
decline in man power needed to
produce unit of each commodity,
from year to year. They embrace
the total amount of installed horse
power for each unit, and the total
horsepower for the entire industry.
Conclusions Reached
The conclusions reached by these
charts are these:
The United States today has an
installed horsepower of 100000
900 in engines for doing work. Oper-
ated at capacity, these machines
can produce so times the amount of
products that could be made by the
entire population of the world, by
human labor alone.
With these machines, we could
produce sufficient for the consump-
ton of our population if every adult
from 25 to 46 years old should work
16 hours a week.
Other theorists, basing their con-
clusions on a lesser pretense to
thorough analysis, arrived at the
same decision years ago. The late
horsten Veblen, in 1919, enunciated
the same principles. Fred Hender-
