ty courts to the local superior

against Calvin T. Gibson on behalf
of Halle M. Gibson were received
at the court house this morning.

materialize, all radio stations along
the Broadway of America will
henceforth, in making their quar-
ter-hour announcements, say, ION
the Broadway of America. -
The first station to do this, COM
mencirg today, is FL Centro's sta
ton KXO. This station in making
future announcements, will say.
"El Centre, California, on the
Broadway Of America
The chamber of commerce has
addressed letters to every radio
station along the Broadway route,
asking them to initiate this plan
and it is believed the response will
be unanimous. The recent Broad
way of America convention held at
Nashville stimulated interest in this
highway, the only all-paved, COM
pleted route from coast to coast.
Ell Centre has particular interest in
vigorously publicizing the Broadway
of America because the 1886 con-
vention is to be held in this city.
Travel over the Broadway is ex-
pected to be increased by the san
Diego Exposition and efforts are
being made in Ell Centre to the end
that after the exposition closes
next year. travel shall continue TO
flow over this route undiminished.

AMELIA SETS
NEW RECORD
Woman Flyer Nearly Mobbed
On Arrival At Newark Airport
From Mexico

NEW YORK, May UP)-Tousel-
ed haired Amelia Earhart slept late
today while the country acclaimed
ner latest feat-a nonstop flight
from Mexico City to New York.
1t was the first nonstop flight
between the two cities, but not the
first attempt. Captain Emilio Car
rama, MeXico's flying hero, at
tempted a nonstop flight from
Mexico City to Washington, but
fell 100 miles short of his goal He
died in a crack-up on the return
flight
Miss Earhart, who has flown solo
over the Atlantic from Newfound-
land to Ireland, and over the Pacific
from Hawaii to California, brought
her red Lockheed Vega monoplane
down at Newark airport at 10:28:5O
p. m. (EDT) last night, ID hours,
IS minutes and so seconds after she
took off alone from the dry bed OF
old Lake TeXcoco, near Mexico City
The distance is 2,100 miles.
Tired but happy, she retired at
a. m. today, leaving orders that she
was not to be disturbed before IL
a. m.
More eXhausting than her flight,
it seemed, was the reception she re-
ceived on landing A crowd estimated
at 10000 to $4,000 persons welcomed
her in scenes reminiscent of the
transatlantic flying days of 1927
Sweeping aside the As policemen
who had been assigned to maintain
order, the crowd Swarmed over the
field toward Miss Earhart's ship.
Her husband, George Palmer
Pp/nam, former publisher, who had
awaited her at the field since dusk,
was annoyed by the vehemence OF
the demonstration.

as civilized as Newark. This is the
most disgraceful scene I ever wit
messed"

borhood beer merchant for a bottle

top of this letter, and, when your

ceive 1850 bottles of beer. Is this

Above is the plea contained in
the latest form of chain letters to
invade Imperial Valley and Braw-
ley residents reported this morning
that the letters are sweeping that
city like a flood.
While no one can lay the finger
on the one responsible for the in

men and merchants are jubilant

DEFENDS NEW
EDUCATIONAL
CURRICULUM

Discussing the Sacred Cow,
Bruce Findley, chairman of the
committee on education, Los An
geles chamber OF commerce, gave
brilliant address at last night:
meeting of the teachers of the
county, the final institute of the
year, held in the Barbara Worth
school BraWley.
introduced by c. B. Collins, coun-
ty superintendent, Findley pre-
sented the Sacred Cow" reading,
writing and arithmetic, the chief
subjects in the old school curri-
culae.
Findley declared that in the pres
ent hue and cry to "cut out the
frills and fancies," much that is
extremely valuable in the life of
the individual would be abolished,
valuable not only for the enrich
ment it gives life but from the ac-
tual commercial standpoint.
The speaker cited music as an
example, pointing out that much
money has been made in the in
dustrial field through the manu-
facture of musical instruments;
through radio, no program being
acceptable without fine music, etc.
His talk was said to be outstand-
ing by the many teachers who
heard him.

NAVY PLANES
HOP OFF FOR
LONG FLIGHT
Leave Hawaii For Midway
Island As Part OF Maneuvers
Now In Progress

HONOLULU, T. H, May 8. W.P)
Stimulating actual conditions of
war, the navy today launched the
most pretentious mass aviation
demonstration history as it sent
Hawaii S air defense into the cur
rent maneuverS on the Pacific
front.
At 1920 a. m. GHonolulu time)
the first trim naval plane hoped
off from Wheeler Field, near the
navy yard at Pearl Harbor. Heavy
smoke screens shrouded the immed-
late vicinity as the navy sought to
hide its aviation gesture from the
prying eyes of a mythical enemy.
No spectators were allowed to
approach the field. From a dis
tance, observers could hear the roar
of warming motors and catch an
occasional glimpses of a flashing
propeller. Then one of the craft
would shoot aloft through the
smoke pillows.
AT TAO a. m. at least 10 planes
could be seen over the ocean
They struck formations and await
ed the takeoff of the others. Two
hundred officers and men were as
signed to the mass flight which
will carry AZ planes to Midway Is
land, tiny cable station l,20C
miles to the northwest of Hawaii.
The formations will land in q
tropical lagoon which, in the neal
future, may become landing spot
for giant Pan-American air liners
enroute from California to China.
Fleet To Cooperate
The surface craft of the battle
fleet, which left San Francisco Sat-
urday, in a huge naval maneuver
termed Problem 16,'' will follow
the course of the aerial branch of
the service it was understood. A
strict naval censorship, however,
prevented an authentic picture of
just how the fleet and the airplanes
will cooperate.
Admiral Joseph M. Reeve, COM
mander -in-chief of the fleet spread
across the North Pacific, ordered
the flight. Beyond this bare fact
little could be learned as to plans
of the maneuver.
Attacking" units of the fleet,
including Admiral Reeves flag
ship, the U. S. S. Pennsylvania,
from where the vast maneuver is
being directed, were believed to be
in Hawaiian waters.
Fishing boats reported sighting
numerous WarShipS.
1t was reported similarly that the
U. S. S. Beaver, carrying mechan-
les, fuel and equipment for aircraft
repairs was in the vicinity of
French Frigate Shoals, 500 miles
northwest of Oahu. The ships To-
cation was regarded as an indica-
ton of the proposed flight route.

PEST DAMAGING CANTALOUPES
White Pickle Mosaic Reported More Extensive Than
In Other Years

Cantaloupe growers are finding
that white pickle mosaic is more

Just how extensive the damage
will be, the agricultural commits
sioner's IS office is not prepared to
state at present as it appears in

does not spread any farther.
There is no known cure for this
mosaic which is spread from plant

from a diseased plant to another.
The only remedy available is dust
ing of fields to prevent insects
from migrating from plant to plant.

HOME SEEKERS

PALMER, Alaska, May 9. U.P -
White tents sprawled over the
Green Matanuska river valley to-
day, reflecting the bright hope of
67 midweStern farm families dri-
ven from their homes by drought
and dust and seeking a new life in
Alaska.
Two hundred of the structures,
aligned in neat rows by 500 Civilian
Conservation Corps workers made
up one city of temporary dwellings,
where the American coloniSts will
live until their experimental farm
ing venture gets under way in ear
nest.
Two miles distant, another can
vas town was constructed as quar-
ters for the workers themselves,
advance guard of the migration to
come.
The first contingent of settlers,
81 families from dust and drought
denuded farming areas of Mime
sofa, are at Seward, awaiting COM
pletion of preliminary work here
They will live in the tent city
until the remaining families of
colonizers arrive from Seattle la
ter this month.
When the full contingent has ar
rived, government supervisors for
the project will stage a drawing in
which the most desirable tracts will
be allotted over the 5000 acre tract
set aside for the farming colony.
Each family will receive 40 acres
of land, on which modern homes,
capable of withstanding the ri
gors of an Alaskan winter, will be
constructed by fall.

plant pathologist for the U. S. de-
partment of agriculture, will be in

expect to confer with him on this
problem.
The agricultural commissioner IS
office also points out that this year
would have been an extremely bad
one for mildew had not the major
ity of fields been planted to mildew
resistant strains. In some instanc-
es, generally where the grower was
unable to securem illdew resistant
seed due to the limited supply
available, the entire field has been
wiped out by mildew. For next
year it is believed that there will
be sufficient seed of the mildew
resistant variety to meet the de-
mand.
