DESERVING OF SUPPORT

National Negro Health week, being OBJ
served by Ell Centro's Negro community
this week, merits the full support of this
entire city.
A nationwide movement founded by
the later Booker T. Washington, recog-
nized as the outstanding leader of the
Negro race, National Negro Health week
has for its objective "The Family and
the Home as the Unit of Community
Health"
Through lectures, discussions and prac-
tical demonstrations, East Side leaders
hope to bring home to their people the
message of the desirability OF good
health to individuals and to the COM
munity. In this they are assured the
moral cooperation and support of civic
and county leaders and officials and all
others interested in anything that means
q better Ell Centre.
Leaders of the East Side have willing
ly taken the initiative in trying to bring
about more sanitary conditions on the
East Side Their sincerity and the un-
selfishness of their purpose, which is con-
cerned with the good health of all I'll
Centre as much as it is with the condi-
tions in their own community, should be-
speak for them the active and immediate
cooperation to the utmost extent, OF
those who are in official position to aid
them most in achieving their objective
Disease is no respecter of race, creed
or color. 1t can originate on either side
of the railroad tracks and the railroad
presents no barrier to its spread.
healthy and sanitary East Side is as es-
sential to the welfare of all Ell Centro as
is the healthful condition of any other
section of the city.

Her greatest peak was reached in
vaudeville with her then husband,

were exploiting his melody, Shine

night at Proctor's Fifth Avenue,
which was quantity enough on
Broadway, they received Is en-

hausted and Miss Bayes almost
whispered: I'VE love you but can
not sing another note" So the
audience flashed to its feet and
cheered. Never have 1 seen such
demonstration in the theatre. Next
day they were married.

THE CALL FOR BIDS

Calling Of bids for additional con-
structlon work on the All-American
canal, announced by the reclamation SER
wee Saturday, indicates a willingness on
the part Of the government to prosecute
The work with all possible speed to the
end that the canal will be completed in
the shortest possible time.
For some months past the Imperial Ir-
rigation District has been endeavoring to
have this % mile sector called for in the
bids constructed by the force account
method, which has been working salts
factorily on other sectors of the canal.
In this connection also, district Off
Gals have been trying to have the hours
on the force account work increased
from 30 hours week to 40 hours, and
hoped to have this schedule included on
the % mile sector, realizing that it hard
ly pays men to work themselves and
equipment for the shorter number of
hours.
Their efforts have met with consider
able opposition, organized labor insisting
that 80 hour week be adhered to. The
government, being unwilling to antagon-
ize organized labor, has retained the 80
hour week on the force account work now
being done, despite the opposite desires
and continued efforts of district Off
cials.
Organized labor and insistence on the
30 hour week are used here in their ma
tional sense
The district plans to check over the
figures which may be submitted by con-
tractors on the % mile sector, compar-
ing them with what its own estimates on
the work show, and will protest any bids
that it believes to be exorbitant. 1t is
recognized that the sector will require
deeper excavation through type of soil
much more difficult than exists on the
present force account sectors, a fact
which will have some bearing on the cost
of the work.
If its efforts to prove that the work
can be done as efficiently and economic
ally by force account as by contract
prove unsuccessful, the district will use
the utmost diligence to see that require
ments in the contract to give Imperial
Valley residents preference in the work
are upheld, to the end that as many res
idents as possible may be employed.
In the past two months extensive cor
respondence has been carried on between
district and reclamation service officials
relative to the location of the Coachella
LEG" turnout and position of the power
sites and the government has accepted
all of the districts recommendations in
this connection, much to the qualification
of the district officials.

X-RkY PHOTOS REVEAL BULLET
I4-Year-O Old, Victim of Shooting on So. LeOn-
 ard St., inOEispitaI

Waterbury hospital authority to- day reported 1z-year-old Mary Cris- tillo of 06 Charles street to be in a better condition and that X-Ray photos showed no fracture of the skull. The girl was brought in Sat- urday afternoon and when it was discovered she had been wounded in the head by one of the bullets fired from a .32 caliber revolver by Joseph 6grillo, 52, of 334 South Leonard street, when he became temporarily insane Wednesday eve ming.
 Hospital authorities reported the bullet, or 8 chip from a bullet still in the girls skull and that attempts will be made later to extricate 1t.
 Sgrillo was bound over to the next term of the superior court under bonds of $25,000 when he was ar- raigned in city court Saturday morning.
 According to the report given Chief Inspector William F. Keegan of the detective bureau by Detec- tive Sergeant Henry Johnson and Detective John Calvin, the injured girl was passing in front of Sgril- los home Wednesday evening with a girl companion whose name is be- ing withheld by police, when Sgril- 10 came out of his home, firing the revolver.
 The girl dropped to the sidewalk in front of the nreniseS hut being afflicted with fainting spells, the girl companion thought her friend had suffered another attack. She called to Sgrillo for assistance, but he paid no attention and continued to 8 grocery store at 240 South Leonard street, owned by John Riz- zuto, and fired four shots through a window.
 In the meantime, the injured girl recovered sufficiently enough to walk to her home, with her head resting on her companions should CT. A doctor was called and exam ination showed the girls head to be bloody. Cursory examination led the doctor to believe she had in- jured her head in the fall.
 Later, Sergeant Johnson, hearing of the case, went to the girls home and suggested her injury might have resulted from Sgrillo's wild shooting as he left his home. The suggestion was proven to be fact when an examination of the injury at the hospital.

 Walter L.: Kelley, 60-year-old Spanish American War veteran, will long remember this Armistice Day. He receives 8 $1,000 reward-just for finding lost dog.

at hand. There are more than 20 Protestant churches serving a nominal Protestant constitu- ency of about 10000, with per- haps less than 10000 actively supporting these 30 churches with membership, attendance, loyalty and support.
 "Our Catholic friends are far wiser than we; they have IS churches serving 8 nominal con- stituency of more than 6O,000 and perhaps an active member ship of more than 40,000. On the basis of our ratio of churches to constituency, they would be entitled to 90 Catholic churches instead of 16. They are too wise for that; if we were to follow their ratio, of churches to constituency we would have five or six Protestant churches in- stead of 30."
