SAFETY SIGNS
WANTED FOR
THREE ROADS

Due to the fact that a large
number Of our highway accidents
are caused by out-of-county motor
lists, the council deems it advisable
to erect three large safety signs on
each of the three main highways
entering the county.
The council has no money to
work with SO we have decided to
ask commercial organizations for
assistance giving them credit on the
sign. For instance, if John Jones
should decide to contribute mater
ial for one sign. his name will ap-
pear on the sign as such. econ
tributed Through Courtesy of John
Jones, > or if two or more organi-
cations decide 10 combine on one
sign, their names can all be used
on the sign.
We do not have the time to call
on all organizations that may de-
sire to cooperate, so we are taking
this method as public notice to all.
For further information please
get in touch with your local COM
mitteemen who are Jerry Farmer at
Calipatria. Walter P. Casey at

vanced in all sections except util-
tiles with gains ranging to )
points.
Dozens of issues made new highs

the Dow-Jones industrial average
to a new high since late 1881. Rail
road stocks joined the rise. further
bolStering sentiment. Oils made
new tops and automobile issues met
heavy buying that sent Chrysler to
a new high. Demand for coppers
gained broad proportions.
There was nothing in the news
TO account for the sudden bulliSh
outburst. Brokers ascribed it to a
changed sentiment brought on by
the recent steady accumulation of
high grade stocks by investors.
Business outlook, it was said, was
better than had been predicted by
some sources, and a substantial lift
was looked for in the governments

Silver issues stood out on the up
side in early trading when the
world silver price about equalled
the treasury's buying price for new

the highs but held advances rang
ing to more than a point.
Demand for copperS was an out
standing feature. Anaconda, Ken
necott, and International Nickel
made new highs for the year in
heavy turnover. Higher prices for
copper metal together with the
profit obtained through sale of the
by-product silver was an incentive
to the buyers, many of whom were
foreigners.

DREAM BABY" HEIR
TO BRITISH TITLE
Death of Grandfather Makes
Him Lord Ampthill.

L0ndon.-A thirteen-year-old dream
baby" whose birthright was estab-
lished after sensational four-year bat
tie costing 100000, became heir to the
barony Of Ampthill.
The death of his grandfather, Lord
Ampthill. former viceroy of India, of
pneumonia, put the boy, Godfrey Rus
sell. next in line for the title.
The new Lord Ampthill, John Hugh
Russell. whose efforts to divorce Mrs.
Christabel Russell were frustrated by
the house of lords, now faces divorce
action brought by Lady Ampthill. The
case is scheduled for hearing this term.
and Lord Ampthill is not defending it.
Godfrey won the title of dream
baby" because Russell, in his divorce
action, insisted that he had never had
marital relations with his wife.
His counsel told the court that Mrs.
Russell had been informed by a for
tune teller that she was going to be-
come a mother.
1T must be a miracle" she was
quoted as saying.
In her defense Mrs Russell testified
she "had conceived the child in a
dream" and the house of lords sup
ported the mothers version, and de-
MED Russell's plea.
Then followed four years Of trials
and legal moves. Suddenly the house
of lords called halt to the proceed
ings, reputedly at the behest of King
George, who in turn was rumored to
have been persuaded In the move by
Queen Mary.
The late Lord Ampthill was sixty-six
years old. His widow is lady-in-wait-
ing to Queen Mary.
