was 79.5 miles per hour. The Ford
V-3 negotiated the 203 mile course
in 2 hours, 80 minutes, 6.1 sec
onds.
Fifteen cars were entered. Fords
took the first seven places in the
event. The other cars either were
forced out of the race by mecbani-
cal failures or were tagged when
the race was declared finished.
Fame in the winning Ford V-8
took the lead in the first 81 mile
lap and led every lap thereafter
with the exception of the twelfth
when he stopped at the pits one
minute and 20 seconds for gas
cline, Oil and water. This was
Fame's only stop in driving what
race officials described as per-
feet race around the picturesque
but treatcherous course of con-
crete. bituminous macadam and
gravel with its four perilous turns.
A Ford V-8 entered and piloted
by Frank Brisko, after completing
the morning race over the 203-mile
course for the Widenhoff trophy
at an average speed Of 77.98 miles
per hour, was the lone stock car
to finish in the afternoon race
over the same distance for the
Elgin Watch company, The other
four to finish were specially-built
racing cars. Eight of the IA en-
trants in this race were forced out
because of mechanical trouble be-
fore half the distance had been run.
This Ford thus became the only
car in either the stock car race or
the free-for-all to complete the
course twice on the day of the
races.
The highly consistent perfor-
nance of the Ford V-8 cars fin
ishing in the stock car race is re-
vealed by the race records. The
difference in elapsed time for the
race between the first and seventh
Fords to finish was only 6 minutes,

CONE on FOLKS, GET BUSY!


Getting the consumers signed up is the
main function of the NRA organization
in Ell Centre.
The response has been satisfying on
the whole, and signed cards are being
turned in each day, but there are not
enough Of them. There are too many per-
sons in this city who are not taking the
NRA as seriously as they should.
Consumer pledge cards are available
at numerous points throughout the city
most stores and business houses having
them on hand for the convenience of their
patrons. Perhaps merchants are already
doing it, but if not, it might be in line for
them to ask patrons if they have signed a
consumer card, and if they have not to
urge them to do so. This is putting a
little more on the merchants, but it will
serve TO convince their patrons that the
NRA is something that cannot be over
looked and will have beneficial effect
in helping the consumer campaign to sue
cess.
Criticism has been heard in some quar-
ters of the set-up Of the local NRA
organization. This should not be dis
couraging to those who are giving their
service to putting the NRA over, for no
organization could be perfected without
drawing criticism from some quarters.
The public should bear in mind that
the men and women who have been called
to lead the NRA movement here did not
seek the job. 1t cuts into their personal
time and their business, so as to be some
thing of a hardship for them, yet they
have accepted this as the duty of good
citizens, anxious only to do their part IN
supporting the President.
There are no Democrats or Republi-
cans, rich or poor, Protestant Catholic
or Jew under the NRA 1t is the Ameri-
can people. The personnel of the lead
ers was chosen only because those select
ed were believed capable of putting the
NRA over. There is no graft, no COM
pensation and no glory connected with it.
All cannot be leaders, and the private
in the ranks who does his bit is the most
essential part of the entire organization.
Ell Centro MUST get behind the local
NRA organization 100 per cent. We can
not be split up by dissatisfactions, jeal-
ousies or rivalries of any nature. Already
this city has Jagged behind in putting the
consumer campaign across. We really
have not the honest excuse Of climatic
conditions, for Brawley and CaleXico have
already lined up solidly behind the NRA.
1t is up to El Centrans to get a wiggle
on themselves, to realize that the NRA
is not a Joke or a farce, but is, on the
contrary, something that must be taken
seriously and supported to the finish.
Let's get busy and go to bat for It,

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. U.R)-
Hundreds or American mothers
have been writing Mrs. Franklin d.
Roosevelt saying they were so sorry
to hear that her son Franklin Jr.,
wants to be a Spanish bullfighter.
Inasmuch as the Presidents wife
is sure her son doesn't have any
such intention she has painstaking-
ly written each distressed mother
personally and explained that
Franklin's interest in the Spanish
sport is no greater than in row.

The rumors of Franklin'S mata-
dor aspirations developed after he
witnessed a few Seville. Spain bull
fights on his summer vacation.
Washington society is gossipy
these days about the chances of a
reuniting of the Roosevelt clan,
inasmuch as Theodore Jr., had
luncheon at the White House last
week with his fifth cousin, once

Then of course Kermit went
yachting with the President on

THE RIGHT TRAIL

Los Angeles has taken a bold and
decisive Step in Its warfare against gang
sterism, by passing a county and a city
ordinance requiring former convictS, with
very few exceptions. to register with the
police within 4S hours or be subject to
fine and Imprisonment for failing to do
so.
1t is hardly to be expected that hard
boiled gangsters will meekly come in and
make known their records. But it is diff
ficult, if police are sincere. for gangSters
TO keep entirely out of trouble. Finger
print records and other data which the
police have frequently trip up those who
are arrested ION suspicion. If any such
have failed to register, the law has them.
Exemption is made Tor former convicts
who have been pardoned, who are on pa
role or who have completed their parole.
1t is not the intention of the ordinance to
persecute men who have made miSStep
and who are trying to make good.
Even should few gangSterS be rounded
up by the ordinances, the fact that the
latter exist will serve to deter gangsters
from other parts of the country coming
TO California. That is the chief purpose
of the ordinance.
There are bound to be a few injustices
crop up as a result of this drastic action,
and it is hoped the authorities will en-
deavor to keep them few. The net result
should be such as to provide a legitimate
excuse for those who may be wrOnged.
Los Angeles has set the way for the
rest of the state. Indeed the state itself
should take action to stiffen up its parole
board The number of dangerous con-
victs who have been paroled is something
that should cause people to bring pres
sure to bear on the board. 1t has been
too lenient.
The record of recent months in Los
Angeles and elsewhere about the state
shows too many paroled convicts, many
with long records, turned loose to resume
their warfare against society.

RUFUS v. PEARSON
ATTORNEY, IS DEAD
Stricken With Paralysis
About Six Weeks Ago-Had
Lived Here 80 Years.

Rufus w. Pearson, SO, prominent
Washington attorney and resident of
the city for 80 years, died yesterday at
his home, 2844 Wisconsin avenue. He
was stricken with paralysis six weeks

Born in Tennessee, Mr.. Pearson came

the outbreak of the Spanish-American
War he enlisted in the Rough Riders
and served IN Cuba under Theodore
Roosevelt. After the war, he again
entered the Government service. but
resigned in 1919 to practice law.
He was well known in Masonic cir
