MRS. SEWELL
GETS DIVORCE

Las VEGAS, New, Oct. 20. U.P)
Mrs. Mary Bell SeWell was grant

Judge Harry F. Sewell of Los An
geles after a hearing from which
newspapermen end the public we're
barred.
Superior Judge William f. Orr,
who granted the decree, ordered

LAS VEGAS, New, Oct. 20. lU.P
Mrs. Mary Bell SeWell was ex-
pected to return to court today
and apply for a divorce from Su-
perior Judge Harry F. Sewell of
Los Angeles, target of recent in
temperance charges from the bench.
Upon completing the required
six weeks residence, Mrs. SeWell
filed suit yesterday, charging her
husband with extreme cruelty but
not specifying instances of al
legged misconduct.
Judge Sewell who is not con-
testing the action, was charged in
the complaint with causing his
wife "grievous mental and physical
suffering and pain without any
provocation on her part"
Only last week, Mrs. Sewell re-
turned to Los Angeles to aid her
husband in his fight to escape
being sent to a state institution
on intemperance charges. He was
paroled and is now confined in a
Los Angeles sanitarium. He is a
candidate to succeed himself in the
Nov. 6 California election.
The Sewells were married in Mis-
soula, Mont, Dec. 8, 1915. They
have one son, Wilbur Powell Sew
ell, whose custody the wife sought.
She said property settlement was
made last July 81.

CONGRATULATIONS

El Centre put it over" and made a
swell job of it.
The city's sixth annual Fall Opening
has passed into history and certainly set
a high mark for the seventh such affair
to shoot at next year.
The parade, staged as the first event
on last nights program, was a splendid
success in every way, and all connected
with it are deserving of commendation
as we'll as thanks, for giving citizens of
this community an opportunity to get a
better idea of the large number of bus
inesses conducted here.
1t is impossible to single out any en-
tries for praise, for all are deserving of
1t, the humblest entry doing as much as
the most elaborate, to make the parade
a fine success. Comment of spectators
called attention to the fact that some of
the city's largest businesses were con-
spicuouS by their absence as far as en-
tries in the parade are concerned. BY
neglecting to enter it they missed a dou-
bic opportunity-to get some splendid
publicity and to show that they were
cooperating to the fullest extent to make
the parade successful
Entries were by no means confined to
FL Centro and this city owes a word of
thanks to adjacent communities which
cooperated by entering cars and floats
In the parade, thereby adding much to
the spectacle and exhibiting a neighbor-
illness which Ell Centro should not over
look
1t would be unfair not to congratulate
the Junior chamber of commerce which
took charge of the parade. It's commit
tee worked hard, not only in the weeks
preceding the Fall Opening but in get
ting last nights monster procession un-
der way on time and moving along the
line of march without a hitch
Aside from the parade, business
houses added to the success of the occas-
ion by decorating their stores, offering
merchandise prizes and keeping "open
house" last night
The charity ball, given by the 2O-3O
club, topped off gala night, with what
might be termed triple play" - it
showed that the city's youngest club can
do things, it gave hundreds of dancers
an enjoyable evening and last, and best
of all, it gave the Children's Clothes
Closet, most commendabe charity, the
wherewithal to carry on its worthy work
during the winter.
From every angle the Fall Opening
was splendid example of Ell Centro's
community spirit. The chamber of COM
merce, the general committee and all
who aided in any way, have just cause

COAL REACHED
BY CENTRA['S
G|RLATHLETES

Registration in the Girls Ath-
letic association has now reached
103, three more than the goal set
by the girls at the beginning of the
year.
First game of the practice sea-
son took place yesterday after
noon, when the red team played
a team from Wilson school. Since
the game was held during the
sixth period and before school was
dismissed, the reds were greatly
handicapped by the loss of several
of their regular players. The score
was 5-16 in Wilson S favor.
Each team will have practice
game with a team from Wilson
school before play-offs begin among
the four G.. A. A. teams.
After these play-offs, which will
begin November 2. an all-star
team will be chosen from the four
first teams. This all-star team will
have q game with the first team
at Wilson school.
Prospects for this years indoor
season are very good, according to
Mrs. Evalena Moore, girls coach.
Many of last year S stars are back
and in addition there has been an
unusually large number of fresh
men enrolled this year.
One of the outstanding freshmen
players is Lorna Hammerson, who
plays second base for the red team
but who can be depended upon to
play well in any position where she
is needed
Another freshman who has made
a first team is Emmagean Paine.
She plays first base for the reds.
Eight girls who won positions on
last year IS all-star indoor team have
returned this year. They are Tsun-
exc Sugimoto, Mary Edgar, Gladys
Womack, Elizabeth Tagg, Josephine
Fleming, Mary LaBrucherie, La
nellie johnson, and Mae Thomas.
Only the pitcher and catcher of
last year IS team did not return.

tween them. The driver said to me,
Just wait till Sinclair's elected ana
we won't have any more OF this
border inspection foolishness. we
are going to fire ali you guys and
the money that's saved will be given
to us people that need it.
At the SERA transient station
for families in Barstow, few miles
from Yermo, an executive said there
was a Is per ent increase educ
entirely to Sinclair' He reported
that the night before, mother
and her four children came to the
station.
99 Sinclair Will Fix II
"Her youngest child was eight
months DID, he said. "The Oldest
was ID years. They were hitch
hiking from Missouri to Califor-
MIA. I asked her what she hoped
to accomplish. She said she hoped
to get work.
"I asked her how she could
hope for that when SO many thou
sands already were out of work in
California. Sinclair S going to fix
all that she replied.'
The woman had only few cents
and had no definite destination.
AT the SERA transient camp for
men at Barstow, T. E. Montgom-
cry, in charge, said he had heavy
increase in transientS but that
most of the increase was due to
the drought in the middle west.
"Most of the men that we get, -
he said, "never heard of Sinclair.
They don't even read the papers. !"
Lloyd Tiernan, editor of the Bar
stow Printer, a weekly supporting
Merriam, said the increase in tram
sients was due only to "Sinclair
and his promises"
"a specific instance was an un-
employed printer we had in here
last week. Tiernan said. 81
asked him what he expected to do
in California. He replied that there
would be plenty of work as soon as
Sinclair , was elected.'
Whatever the cause - Sinclair,
drought or climate - California
seems assured of better than av-
erage influx of residents from 9TH
er states this winter.

Women Decorated
Press Parade Car

In response to several inquiries
received today, and to others over
heard last night along the line of
march of the parade, The Press
advises that credit for the decorated
car which was entered in the parade
is due to Mrs. Harry Lennon and
Mrs. Leroy Cook whose husbands
are connected with the circulation
department.
Mrs. Lennon and Mrs. Cook de-
signed and carried out the decora-
tive scheme, using copies of The
Press, with which the car was COW
cred, and crepe paper, the combin-
alton producing an effect which
brought much commendation from
those who saw it, and frequent ap-
plause as the parade moved
through the business section.

Uncle Wiggily read his letters and

II was nearly noon, and time fol-
lunch when Nurse Jane said:

fIt is strange that Bunty haSn 7
come back.'

"Perhaps you had better go look
for her, Wiggy," she said to her
husband.
Perhaps 1 had agreed Uncle
Wiggily. So, taking with him his
red, white and blue striped rheu-
matism crutch that Nurse Jane
had gnawed for him out of corn
stalk, the rabbit gentleman hoped
to the woods. He did not have the
rheumatism that day, but he
thought perhaps Baby Bunty might
have hurt her paw looking for adj
ventures in the forest.
"If she has," said Uncle Wiggi-
ly, 81 can ride her home for adj
ventures in the forest.
eff she has, said Uncle Wig
gily, ~ can ride her home on my
red, white and blue striped crutch. y
Uncle Wiggily did not have to
search very far in the woods be-
fore he found the little orphan
rabbit. Baby Bunty was too small
to go very far away from the bun
galow. She did not want to be
lost. Uncle Wiggily saw her sit
ting on the bank Of a little brook
and scattered around the little rab-
bit were many pieces of white
bark from the birch trees.
"Bunty, what are you doing?u
asked Uncle Wiggily.
Il am making boat" said the
orphan rabbit.
fWhat kind Of a boat?' Mr.
Longears wanted TO know.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20.-In the
ancient building which looks like
a medieval castle but which is the
weather bureau, the head men are
a little worried over the fact that
they have done one Of their chores
too well.
The bureau has done such a swell
job Of locating errant hurricanes
and telling steamships where they
are that the latter always elude
the storms.
That's fine business and all that,
but E. B. Calvert, chief of the
forecast division, complains be-
cause if a ship isn't in the midst
of a hurricane it can't very well
radio to headquarters the details
of the storms intensity and direc-
ton.

of one. So I gnawed some bark
off a birch rec and I'm making a
canoe. Only, Unkie Wig, a lot of
water leaks in my boat when I put
it in the brook to get ride. Look!"
| Truly, as Bunty said, much water
leaked in her canoe boat. "Why
is it?' she asked.
Gum on the Seams
"Because you did not do as the
Indians do,'' said Mr.. Longears.
"After they had sewed pieces of
the bark together to make their
canoes, they put sticky gum from
the pine or spruce trees on the
seams to keep the water from leak
ing. Here, I'll show you'll
Uncle Wiggily gathered some
sticky pine tree gum and sticky
spruce tree gum which had oozed
out of the bark. He smeared this
on the seams of Bunty's boat and
no more water leaked in.
"NoW we can have a ride, Unkie
Wig!" laughed Bunty. She and
Mr.. Longears sat in the bark boat
and padded up and down the
brook. But when it was time to
get out and go home, why, Bunty
couldn't t. She was stuck fast to
one of the boats seats.
"Ha! Hal" laughed Mr.. Long
ears. "You must have sat in some
of the sticky gum, Bunty!' That S
what the orphan bunny had done.
But she was soon pulled loose and
then she and her bunny uncle
hoped home to lunch. And if the

TEACHERS COMMENDED

Fifth and sixth grade teachers in the
rural schools of the county are certainly
entitled to honorable mention and com
mendation for the splendid work they
are doing in providing textbook on So
cial study for use in the schools
This is being done voluntarily on their
own initiative and on their own time
thereby emphasizing the loyalty and un-
selfishness of the teachers, which are
outstanding characteristics of their pro-
feSsion
Each teacher is contributing part of
the book, exchanging with other teachers
in the system. SO that before the school
year is over each of the schools will have
an opportunity to study the entire course
Circumstances make it necessary that
the course be used in manuscript form
during the school year. 1t will be edit
ed and revised as desired next summer.
and year from now it is hoped to have
it available in book form for all the
schools of the county.
The teachers ordinary day is a busy
one. Their work does not halt with the
end of the school period, but goes on
after hours and often on Saturdays and
Sundays, days they are entitled to have
to themselves. Giving of their own leis-
ure time to provide pupils with course

1t used to be that a steamship
would head unawares into the
midst of a hurricane. That was
tough on the steamship, but swell
for the weather bureaus records
if the boat didn't sink before it
got the chance to radio in the
hurricane news.
The hurricane reporting system
now works thus:
The bureau locates a storm. Then
it locates all the boats in that
vicinity and sends them radio
grams telling them to scram. They
nearly always do.
