NORTH-SOUTH
ROAD SOUGHT
Chamber Suggests Highway
From Canadian Border Be
Terminated At Calexico.

According to Manager Robert
Hays of the chamber of commerce,
there remains relatively little high
way construction in order to bring
highway U. S. SO, which commences
at the Canadian border in north
ern Montana, near Glacier National
Park, through Imperial Valley TO
CaleXico. The matter was broach-
ed at meeting of the Ell Centre
SERA planning commission last
night and aroused much interest.
The greater part of this high
way is already built. 1t terminates
now in Glendale, New, about so
miles from Boulder dam, joining
there with U. S. highway 81, the
Las VegaS-Salt Lake route. Accord
ing to the proposal of w. H. Tyler,
Jr., president Of the Ell Centre
chamber, U. S. SO, instead of ter
minating at Glendale, New, should
cross U. S. 81 and proceed along
the Virgin river to Boulder dam.
Thence, the road would flow SOUTH
ward through Searchlight, New,
and through Needles. there con-
Meeting with the highway system
of the Los Angeles aqueduct, which
is high grade surfaced road ex-
tending to Desert Center On the
RlVthp route z-sl's ~ .....4... = 49,
The construction entailed in the
south would be in the gap between
inland and Desert Center, a dis
tance of 80 or 40 miles through op-
en- country IF we had this gap
completed, said President Tyler,
Imperial Valley would have di-
rect connection by U. S. 93 with all
the east west transcontinental
highways, including the Blythe
route which is highway U. S. so;
route U. S. 66 which is the Santa
Fe Trail; route U. S. 81, the route
leading to Salt Lake City; and the
great Victory and Lincoln high
ways. After that said Tyler, "an-
other great international highway
would pass through Imperial VAL
ley, beginning at Calexico and ex-
tending ndrthward in an almost
straight line This road would be
600 to 800 miles east Of the coast
and San Joaquin valley roads, which
are already serving us, and would
give us one other great highway
with the resulting beneficial traf-
fic. We at the chamber of COM
merce expect to work for the COM
pletion of this route, and hope that
it may sen be a reality. The key
to the situation is, of course, the
short gap that lies between inland
and Desert Center, and the compile
ton of this sector should not be
very difficult he concluded.

The chamber Of commerce re-
ceived a telegram this morning
from w. T. Martin, art editor Of
the Saturday Evening Post, re-
questing that there be sent by air

ley along highway route U. S. 30,
These are to be used to illustrate

urday Evening Post.
Manager Hays complied with the
request and six photographs of
Imperial Valley were sent. The
pictures were views of the lettuce
fields, the interior of a cantaloupe

FRENCH DENY
SOVIET PACT

PARIS, Nov. "a. U.P)-The for
eign office officially denied eXiS-
tence of a French Russian military
alliance today.
The statement was the result of
the great excitement caused when
Leon Archibault, chamber CT dep
uties budget reporter, said in a
speech yesterday:
Russia has a solid, we'll equipped
army which she offers us in case
of conflict between Germany and
us"
Today's statement from the for
cign office said;
The ministry Of foreign affairs
declare that all reports concerning
a French Russian military alliance
are groundless.'
Such an alliance would be calcu
lated to estrange Poland, Frances
ally, which lies between Russia and
Germany. 1t would also interfere
with the Eastern Locarno" treaty
which France is trying to arrange
to guarantee the peace of eastern
Europe and which Poland opposes.
The cabinet today approved a
reply to a Polish note objecting to
features of the proposed treaty.
The note cedes to Poland the le-
gitimacy of its objection to guar
anteeing the existing frontiers Of
Czechoslovakia and Lithuania.
Frances note asserts that such
treaty would maintain peace
throughout Europe for ten years,
Russia, it was pointed out, as well
as France and the League Of Ma
tions would guarantee all frontiers
including Poland's. Germany, if it
joined, would have to agree to re-
spect Poland's frontiers.

PERSONALITIES
BY Nellie DOdson

There is an interesting new
game on the campus this year. 1t
is called, Guess Who hat-Is." So
many new students are in school,
and no one seems to know anyone
else, so there is lot of guessing
and specializing going on!
Three gels are on the lookout for

he keeps himself, but / wish he
would show up in the reference
library, sixth and seventh hours, so
that the ladies could get ac-
quainted.
VAL DAVIS sat down to write
letter. Her mind began to wan
der to other things. She finally
finished the letter and started to
address the envelope. Her mind
wandered again. She put the ad-
dress on one side, turned the en-
velope over, and put the stamp on
the other. How different!

directly across the aisle, has gotten
up and walked around at least six
times in the last ten minutes. :.

much noise that everyone has to

Everyone seems to be doing more

Well, the library tables are ar

the view of the head of the person
across the table from you, unless
you scoot down in your seat and
practically sit on the end of your
neck. Thus, when you look across
the table, as a rule, if the person
across from you is man, you can't
help but look at his shirt and neck
tie. And what variety you see!
Neat shirts with attractive ties;
few, very few, dirty shirts with
stringy ties; wildly colored shirts
with loud neckties that fairly
screech at you. Sometimes the
shirt and tie look so good that you
just know the wearer is hand
some collegian. But when you get

MONTGOMERY PLAYERS
IN GOOD PERFORMANCE
"The Late Christopher Bean"
Added to Their List of Well
Done Dramas.

The Montgomery Players last night
presented Sidney Howard's The
Late Christopher Bean" before an ap-
preciative audience composed of many
Washington followers of the little the
ater movement.
Irving Day turned out a fine piece
of work as the white-haired New Eng
land family doctor. Two charming
young ladies, Elizabeth Moore and
Martha Roberts, we're exceptionally
brilliant as the doctors daughters,
Susan and Ada. Jane Plummer Rice,
as Abby, the Haggetts' maid; Helen
Devereaux Pyle as Mrs. Haggett and
Guy Kinman as the art critic. helped
round out the cast Of this drama built
around the possession of the paintings
of the late Christopher Bean.
Harrison Hathaway deserves credit
for his able direction of this popular
group. The professional flavor of the
production should add to his reputation
as one of the moving spirits behind
these hard working dramatic artists.
An air of informality was given the
evening when the players met their
audience at a reception backstage
after the performance. These sin
cere players are planning to buy their
own playhouse, in which they will be
better equipped to present their pro-
duction to the theatergoers OF the
community.

be presented again this evening at the

CUSTODY OF CHILD
SOUGHT BY FATHER
District Supreme Court Asked to
Restrain Judge Bentley
From Taking Girl.

The District Supreme Court was
asked late yesterday to restrain Judge
Fay Bentley of the Juvenile Court
from taking a child from a father
who had been awarded custody of the
child last December by the higher
court.
The injunction was filed on behalf
of TerZo Lugaresi He was awarded
an absolute divorce from Nettie Luga-
resi- and custody of their daughter in
November, 1882. Last December the
wife had her husband brought into
District Supreme Court to show cause
why he should not relinquish custody
of the child on the ground that he
was maintaining her in an unfit home.
The court, however, permitted the
father to keep the child.
Early this week the father was
brought into Juvenile Court on the
same charge Although it was con-
tended the case had been settled in
District Supreme Court, Judge Bentley
ordered the child placed in the Gus
tody of the Board of Public Welfare.
1t is this decision that the injunction
seeks to make imperative.
