today about the intensified cam
paign of the Catholic hierarchy
against indecent motion pictures,
but spokeSmen for the industry
maintained an official silence.
1t was said privately, however,
that one sentence in the pledge all
Catholics in the United States will
be asked to take at mass tomorrow,
worried them more than any other.
1t pledged against attendance at
theatres that showed pictures classi-
fled as indecent as matter of pol
icy. This, the official said, could
ruin many an exhibitor as the de
cision as to what pictures should be
boycotted was not subject to exact
definition.
The Catholic population of the
United States numbers 20,000,000.
Authorities of the New York arch
diocese estimated that rs per cent
would be in attendance at Sunday
masses. They estimated that at least
100000 would pledge to boycott
films listed by the church as indie
cent at tomorrowS masses.
The list of approved and disap-
proved films compiled by the Legion
of Decency council of the Chicago
archdiocese, which will be posted in
every diocese in the country for the
guidance of Catholics. was made
public today. 1t listed 81 current

PARIS, Dec. {. Queen Mathil-
de, wife of William the Conqueror
welded a naughty needle, as she
bent over the tapestry which bears
her name.
Puritans of 1885 accuse her of it.
and so do savants who charge her
further, with being prejudiced and
unfair.
The good, though not too care
full. lady has been dead these 800
years but her memory marches on.
Modern historians now are ques-
tioning whether or not the queen
actually did WELD the naughty
needle herself, or merely gave in
structions. They think perhaps she
may have had nothing whatever to
do with it.
The tapestry in question is
piece of coarse linen 23l feet long,
20 inches wide, and attracts tour
lists at the rate of $4,000 a year
who visit BayeuX in Normany where
the discussed bit of fabric now
repoSes, to settle the matter in
their own minds if not for poster
ity.
The ancient work of art has
been described as enchantingly
obscene. - The antomical exag-
gerations and the naughty nimble-
ness of their needles enabled the
fayre ladies of the 11th century
TO shock Puritans and savants 800
years later. Some even assert that
Picasso found inspiration for
number of his anatomical eXagger-
ations in the handiwork of Queen
Mathilde. and yet his brush is called
more enigmatic than naughty.

ROAD GROUP
TO CONVENE
HERE TONIGHT
Continued from page u


service is doing in Mason Valley
towards building the Imperial High
way.
A survey of the history of the
Imperial Highway association, its
supporters point out, forms one OF
the most interesting annals of the
achievements OF the comparatively
S m all improvement association
formed. as are so many others, to
promote a particular piece of work
The Imperial Highway association
differs, however. from most of these
organizations because it made good
and in a big way. Within a period
of five years, three -fourths of the
200-mile, route Of the Imperial
Highway has been placed in the
state system, and all Of this por-
ton has been hard-surfaced. Noun
tains have been cut through and
grade fills made, stone bridges con-
structed, grades lessened, curves
removed, roadways widened and
ornamental lights installed.
Attendance Urged
An appeal is made by President
w. H. Tyler, Jr., of the Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce to citizens
of Ell Centro and Imperial Valley
generally to attend the Imperial
Highway association dinner.
This meeting will be replete
with interest," said Tyler. 1.-The
Imperial Highway association is
building for us another great route
to the densely settled coastal area.
There will be a large number of
I outside workers to tell of progress
on the road. Representatives of the
federal transient service who are in
charge of the construction camp
in Mason Valley where several hun
dred men are at work building our
road will tell of its progress. The
restoration of the old Butterfield
stage station in Vallecito valley will
be described. 1 know of no meet
ing through the year that will be
more interesting than tonight IS
meeting of the Imperial Highway
association, and there should be a
general attendance of El Centre
citizens. Another reason,'' Tyler
continued, "is that there should
be a considerable group Of our local
citizens to greet these distinguished
visitors who are doing so much for
us. I urge business men and citi-
zens and their wives to be present
tonight. They will be doing a SER
vice to Ell Centro and Imperial and
they will have an evening replete
with interest.
During the courses at dinner,
an interesting program of music
and dancing will be given under the
direction of the farm recreational
bureau. 1t will be well if reserva-
tions arc made at the hotel, but
it is not necessary because places
will be available at table for all,
through the cooperation of Albert
Miller of the Hotel Barbara Worth.
Supervisor Hugh T. Osborne will
deliver the address of welcome to
the visitors. The response will be
made by Bert Shaw, Of Yorba Lin
da.

FARM BUREAU
FIGHTS RAIL
RATE BOOST

Conclusive testimony showing the
inability of agriculture to pay in
creased freight costs was presented
by the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton. at the recent I. c. C. hear
ings in Chicago on the proposed in
crease in freight rates and charges,
according TO c. o. Hoober, president
of the Imperial County Farm Bu-
reau. The carriers contemplate ad-
ditional revenue of S172,000,000 un-
Ger these proposed increases, of
which S31 100000 would be extract
ed from products of agriculture, ami.
mails and its products, which freight
is paid by the farmer.
It is pointed out by Hoober that
while an increase in freight rates
as proposed by the carriers would
probably work a greater burden on
the farmers of California than any
other state, the farm leaders all
over the country are making an or
eanized fight against it, under the
standard of the American Farm Bu.
reau Federation.
Donald kirkpatrick, general coun-
sci of the national organization,
was in charge Of presentation of
the farm bureau testimony. Edward
A. ONeal, president of the AFBF:
Charles E. Hearst. vice president of
the AFBF and president of the
Iowa Farm Bureau; and George NJ.
Putnam, member of the AFBF
board of directors and president of

Federation, appeared on behalf Of
