CITY LEADERS
ONCHAMbER'S s
COMM 7 TEES

In reviewing the list of standing
committees of the Ell Centro Cham-
Der of Commerce for the ensuing
year it is noted that President w. II.
Tyler, Jr. has placed on these COM
mitteeS 33 persons who are not oi-
rectors of the chamber of COM
merce, which indicates something
of the general interest which is
displayed in Ell Centre in the prof.
ects and the activities of the cham
ber.
1.-The affairs Of the chamber are
directed by II directors, = stated
Tyler today, "however this is ev-
erybody's chamber and everybody
should have a part in its activities
and must have if we are to carry on
the many activities to which we are
committed We have found that
the II directors cannot actively
carry out all the projects before us
and we have found it necessary II
we are to carry on this varied work
to press into service this year 33
persons who are not directors, but
each of whom is as vitally interested
in the welfare of Ell Centro and of
Imperial Valley as are the II di-
rectorS who meet weekly to direct
the affairs Of the chamber.
esEach individual is interested in
some phase of community develop
ment and each has an opportunity
in the chamber of commerce to
work along the line which inter-
ests him. The chamber directors
welcome suggestions from the peo-
pie of Ell Centre and vicinity and
welcome new workers, who through
their individual interests desire to
take a more active part in some
phase of community development.
Through the interest of the public
generally we have been able greatly
to widen the scope of chamber ac-
tivities and we have found that by
increasing the number of standing
committees and the personnel OF
each we can accomplish much more
than if all the work had to be car
ried on by the directors themselves
all of whom have their private bus
inesSes to take care of in addition
to their chamber duties.
cit is noted that the list OF
those serving on the chamber
standing committees is a very rep
resentative one and through the
coordinated efforts of these COM
mittee chairmen and members the
Ell Centre Chamber Of Commerce
should have ahead of it very eff
fective and successful year, " Tyler

PRICES FOR
MAYONNAISE

No development in food costs
during the past few years has
brought sucn immediate benefits
20 the consumer as the recently
announced and sensational reduc-
tion in the price of mayonnaise,
according to Ben Young, Of Simon
Levi company. Ltd. local distrib-
utor for the Best Foods, Inc.
Here in the far west, where
nature is at her most bountiful
in supplying fruits and vegetables.
the principal Of eating salads daily
has long been generally accepted.
Now, under the 1ew price schedules
made possible the retail mar
ket by drastic reductions upon the
part of manufacturers, Mrs. House
wife can serve the fastest and
most nutritious of salads at cost
which in the past would have
seemed quite impossible, Young
lid.
This news comes at a partic-
ularly advantageous time, too, be-
cause of the plentiful supply and
the existing low prices of practical
ly all fruits and vegetables that go
into salad making.
we are now at the height of
the season, or approaching the best
season, for such salad vegetables
as lettuce, tomatoes, Irish potatoes,
carrots and celery, such fruits as
apples. oranges, peaches, pears,
cantaloupes, and many of the most
delicious berries. including straw
berries, raspberries, loganberies. In
addition there are the usual choices
of fine canned vegetables and can
ned fish suitable for salad making.
The consumers cost of real
mayonnaise, under the recent major
reductions, amounts to approx
mately one-third less than former
ly. For example, Best Foods May
onnaise, which through the years
has become the leading brand
throughout the country, is now
being offered for as little as 18 to
20 cents a pint and % to 80 cents
quart.
Never in the history of the may
onnaise industry has the public
been able to buy first quality may
onnaise at any price comparable
to the very low price We have just
put into effect. We believe that
this low price will materially in
crease the eating of healthful SAL
ads, and will prove a real benefit
to the consuming public"

CONTRACTORS
URGED To GET
NEW LICENSES

With an upward trend apparent in
the building and construction in
dustry, contractors and builders in
FL Centre who fail to apply for theh
l934-35 state contractors licenses
before June 80 will be endangering
their right to bid on new construc-
tion work.
Roy S. Haden, regional inspector
for the state contractors license
bureau in this district so advised
local builders here today in urging
prompt action in filing renewal ap-
plications. All existing licenses ex-
pire June 80.
The inspector, who will confer
with Imperial county contractors
here late this month, hailed the
large number of renewal applications
already filed as further indication
of a general improvement in build
ing and construction operations"
Under state law, Inspector Hay
den asserted, all building and con-
struction contractors must be regis
tered. Renewal applications filed be-
lore June 81 require a So.UO renewal
fee. All delinquent renewals filed Ia
ter require a $1,000 fee. THE con-
tractors will each save $500 by fill
ing their renewal application i'm
mediately," he said.
The heavy volume of renewal
applications received in the Sacra-
mento Offices" Inspector Hayden
said, lis gratifying and indicates a
continued improvement in building
and construction operations in this
vicinity.
1.-The trend of business appears to
be improved generally, and we feel
confident that the 1934-S5 registra-
tions will exceed the total for the
fiscal year ending June 30"

SACRAMENTO, June %. U.H =
California motorists paid $3.50, ,779
to the state in gasoline taxes last
month, according to report Of
John G. Corbett, member OF the
state board of equalization.
The total revenue was sll4,055
under that of April, and $518,7s2
under collections in March. but
showed an increase of $270,304 over
gasoline taxes of May, 1888.
Returns each month this year
have been greater than those OF
the corresponding month of 1888.
"These unbroken gains Corbett
said, "are gratifying indications OF
substantial improvement in bllsl-
ness conditions.
Distributions for the summer
months invariably show increased
sales and it is reasonable to anti
cipate that at the current rate oi
increase, the gross tax for 1884 may
approach sac, c,0o0000."

Wood Burning Motor
Announced By Japan

TOXIC, June %. W.P)--Japans
wood burning motor truck recent
ly developed by the army probably
will be confined largely to army
use because of the inability to sup
ply sufficient fueling stations 10
make a general use available.
The new truck with small wood
burner at one side and a boiler
beneath was proved practical SO tar
as going ability was concerned. a
few of the trucks were tried out
between Toxic and Nagoya s
1t was found necessary, however
to have an extra motor conveyance
accompany the truck on its trial
run to supply the fuel which must
be in small sizes. r
Japan spends some 150,000,O00 yen
for motor fuel annually and the
army's expenditures are large. Ihe,
wood burner was developed to cut
down the normal expenses rather
than TO provide new and eco
nomical war machine.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
lRY United PreSsl

Two four-hit games and a six
hit performance bore evidence to-
day of a better quality of pitching
among Pacific Coast league
moundsmen.
Rudy Kallio hurled one of the
four-hit games yesterday in toss
ing Seattle to a So victory over the
Los Angeles club, pace-setters in
the current race. Kallio's tight
moundwork gave the Indians their
first win of the week after two
one-run setbacks.
Another four-hit game was put
on the records by Ken Douglas,
Oakland southpaw, in 2-1 victory
over the Mission Reds. 1t was the
third straight victory for the Oaks
over the second place Reds.
Leroy Hermann, ace of the San
Francisco Seals staff, turned in a
six-hit performance in handing
Portland its first setback in the
series. The score was Al. The
Seals scored three runs in the
opening frame to make Herrmann's
task an easy one.
Hollywood broke through Sacra-
mento's defense to register an 11-4
win after two straight defeats. The
Stars Shelled three Sacramento
moundsmen for IA hits. Frank
Shellenback, dean Of league
moundsmen, allowed nine.

BERKELEY, Calf, June %. =
Men, monkeys and mosquitoes drew
attention of members of the Amer
lean Association for the advance
ment of science today.
In the new world, at least, men
came before monkeys, a report pre-
sented to the anthropological Sec
ton of the association indicated.
Earl w. Count, of San Jose, Calf,
state teachers college, based his
statements on studies of skulls show
ing that in the case of New World
monkeys the frontal bone was more
wedge snapped than that of prim-
jtive man.
wedge shaped" frontal bone
structure long has been taken to
indicate relatively slight develop
ment for species in which it is
found.
Counts report gave slight pro-
mise of settling the general question
of which came first, man or mon
key, however, since both monkeys
and ancient men of the old world
region possess more primitive bone
structures than new world simians.
An indication that men and mon
keys are at least distant cousins
was given by Prof. w. H. Mainwar-
ing, Stanford university, in review
ing the work of j. K. Van Deventer,
also of Stanford. Van Deventer has
shown that blood clots from human
beings behave like those from mon
keys when subjected to the liquify-
ing action of a certain chemical
compound. Likewise, both blood
clots react differently from blood
clots of all other animals he tested,
including the horse, COW, sheep

TRAFFIC M|SHAPS
DECLINE IN MARCH
A. B. c. Board Gives Report
on First Legal Liquor
Period.

A considerably reduced number of
automobile accidents occurred during
the first Is days of this month. when
legal liquor was available here. than
during the first half of March last
year, according to data made public
today by the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board.
The figures were compiled by Will
liam A. VanDuzer, director of traffic
at the request of George w. Offutt,
chairman of the A. B. c. Board, who
Said he wanted to know what effect,
if any, sale of legal liquor had on
traffic accidents.
Fatalities Increase.
While the number of accidents, per-
sonal injuries and property damage
cases declined. there was an increase
IN the number of deaths during the
two periods compared. VanDuzer
stated there was no evidence to indi-
cate that there was any connection
between this fact and the sale of legal
liquor.
He said it was difficult to ascertain
the real reason for traffic fatalities
and remarked that during March of
last year bootleg liquor was being sold
here, according to records of cases
against drunken and reckless drivers
During the first half of March of
last year there were 338 traffic acct
dents, as compared with 286 during
the first IS days of March, 1884.
There were l56 reports of personal in
juries in traffic accidents during the
half month of last year, as compared
with 1853 in the Is days of March of
this year.
There were 20l cases of property
damage in traffic accidents in the first
half of March of 1888, as compared
with 1872 during the period o. March
of this year
Deaths Reported.
While there were two deaths in
traffic accidents during the first half
of March of 1888. there we're dur
ing the similar period of March, 1884
Chairman Offutt said he had hoped
there would be no increase in traffic
accidents following the sale of legal
liquor and that he was gratified there
had been a decrease rather than an
increase.
This seems to indicate" he said, "a
desire en- the part of the public rot
to abuse its new freedom. We sincerely
hope this attitude will continue
