BOY INJURED
IN CAR CRASH

Harold Young, IL, son of Harold
S. Young, U. S. customs inspector,
Calexico, was seriously injured as
the result of an automobile accident
which happened 112 miles east of
the Mt. Signal store at 6 o o'clock
Saturday evening.
The boy, according to a report
made at the office of the state
highway patrol, suffered a broken
knee cap and leg, with possible in
ternal injuries, when struck by an
automobile driven by George Cha
vez who lives near Mt. Signal.
According to the report, the in
jured boy was one of a group of
Boy Scouts returning to Calexico
after an outing. They were riding
on bicycles along the road. Anoth-
er automobile parked directly in
front of Chavez made it necessary
for him to turn across the road in
order to get past and in doing SO
he ran into the boy on the bicycle
who, it is said, was riding without
any light.
The injured boy was removed to
his home 731 lockwood avenue in
CaleXico.

NEW YORK, Jan. 15.-Take it
from Babe Ruth: There's some
thing wrong with baseball"
The great Ruth spoke gloomily
before signing his last straight
player contract in the major leag-
ues at the offices of Colonel Jacob
Rupert, owner of the Yankees.
The all-time run king was pessi-
mistic, disgruntled, doleful worried
about the national pastime.
I'm pretty certain this will be
my last season as an active play
er," he admitted. I've been play
ing a long time I don't want to
try to stay too long and leave the
public with a bad taste in its
mouth"
Ruth emphasized that he would
not retire from baseball at the end
of the season.
"Oh. I've got a lot of work to
do yet with baseball" he said. I'm
not satisfied with the game today.
Something's wrong. I'm trying to
change it."
How could Mr.. Ruth say this
when he was about to sign a con-
tract that would bring his total
baseball earnings above the million
dollar mark?
Interest Not Increasing
He explained, during the years
I've been playing, I've seen the
game develop a whole lot. Sure!
Big crowds. big stadiums, big SAL
aries, and SO on. But I think the
peak has been reached unless some-
thing is done to stimulate it.
Public interest in baseball may
be decreasing. Anyway, it's not in
creasing. It's not going ahead like
golf and tennis. And the country's
financial situation has nothing to
do with 1t.
Whats the reason? Simply this:
In recent years there haven't been
enough kids playing ball. Why,
when I was a boy, it seemed that
all the kids played. You've got to
play some time or other to be-
come a red hot fan. A new gen.
Grafton is growing up, and the
proportion of fans is too small.
Unless something is done, a couple
of years from now the proportion
will be still smaller"

FINE EPUbL|C|TY

Imperial Valley and the sur

to the entire nation, according to
w. H. Tyler Jr., president of the

Judging from the splendid publicity

III various magazines and periodl

which bears the title Imperial VAL
ley, agricultural empire of the
west" has photographs by Leo Ket-
eel of some of the valleys attrac-
tive hotels and agricultural scenes
and the text describes the agricul-
tural products of this community.
The article states. Supplying tbs

Gelicacies is the principal function
of the Imperial Valley and travel

cational. The residents have pre-

sporty golf courses, tennis courts
and smooth paved highways and
these facilities are generously ex-
tended to the visitor. The Califor-
ria climate is found here at its
best, inviting the visitor to spend
as much time as possible out of

Tyler states also that Touring

for the first time under its new
name of "Westways," has an inter-
esting article on tie Vallecitos

title of the article, from the pen of

AUTHORS RAP
NRAPROGRAM

Philadelphia, jar. U.H -
Two authors, speaking before the
Philadelphia branch of the Foreig::
Policy association, attacked capi-
talism and the NRA. They were
John Strachey, author and MEM
ber of tie British parliament, and
George E. Sokolsky, author and
journalist.
Strachey asserted that President
Roosevelt's NRA represents the
last stand to save capitalism be-
fore the inevitable advance of Com
munism. The NRA was described
by Sokolsky as high-powered
form of Fascism. He predicted the
spread of economic imperialism
throughout the world as tie sa-
yior of capitalism.
"I believe Communism is inevi-
table," Strachey said, because the
old capitalistic system is breaking
down and because its continuance
is impossible. Communism, or the
common ownership of the means Of
production is the only alternative"
