4 NEWSPAPER MAN who is proud
Of his personal appearance went
into a downtown barber shop the
other day for a haircut. While the
barber was at work the shop bootblack
shined his shoes.
Before going to work. however. the
bootblack turned up the cuffs on the
patrons trousers to prevent them
from being stained. His job finished.
the boy forgot to turn the cuffs. The
newspaper man also failed to notice
this little dereliction of duty until he
was on F street half hour later and
discovered himself to be the object of
many smokers.
He felt silly, he says.
FAREWELL.
CEvERAL prisoners departing re-
recently from the District Jail ar
ranged an informal ceremony in hon.
or of an attendant who had won their
admiration by his fair and square
attitude. The speeches of appreciation
were brief and just before the pris-
oners issued from the Jail one former
burglar offered his services in case
the attendant might need a latch key
duplicate.
A second prisoner, who had been
doing time for signing too many
names on negotiable paper, presented
the attendant with a check for q mil
lion dollars. The prisoner, just to be
original, had signed his own name.

ALLEN FRETS OVER
PRESIDENTS BALL
Swamped by Orders for
Tickets, Now on Sale
Throughout City.

Being general chairman OF the
Presidents birthday ball is no sinecure,
Commissioner George E. Allen finds.
Swamped with orders for tickets
which clutter up his desk and get IN
the way of his many official duties,
the harassed general chairman heaved
a sigh Yesterday and mumbled some
thing about people who seem to think
first choice could be obtained from his
Office when there are just as good
tickets at sale all over the city.
After President Roosevelt's talk on
the radio last night Commissioner
Allen made an earnest plea for sup
port of the ball here January 80, point
ing out that Children's Hospital. which
conducts a year-round fight against
infantile paralysis, is receiving 10 per
cent of the funds derived from the
ball in Washington. Perhaps it would
be better to use the term in the plural
for the event on January 80 is to be
a city-wide demonstration in honor OF
the Presidents birthday.
Recalls Jamboree Cancellation.
Allen recalled, also, that the Boy
Scout jamboree scheduled here last
wear was cancelled because Of the
spread of the disease and pleaded with
Washingtonians to guard against an
other such occurrence py buying tick
cts and enjoying themselves while
helping to fight the scourge.
DR.. G. w. Leadbetter. orthepedic
surgeon also spoke on the program,
describing how infantile paralysis cases
are treated at Children's Hospital.
Although the committee has re-
served the ball rooms of the May
flower Shoreham. Wardman Park.
willard, Washington and Raleigh Ho-
tells for the event, it still appears,
according to Allen, that the sale OF
tickets will have to be limited to avoid
disappointments for those who pur-
chased early. The dance has taken
on the aspect of city-wide carnival
and the fear arises that although
more hotels can be used. it would be
a problem for Guy Lombardo and his
orchestra. as we'll as the featured en-
tertainers. to make the round OF more
hotels.
Col. Edward Goring Bliss, chairman
Of the Program Committee, has named
regional chairmen to sell advertise
ments according to occupatlonal
areas. The results are encouraging
practically every business organization
having purchased some program
space
Regional chairmen named to date
are Maurice G. Long, laundries; E. j
Murphy, paint. oil and glass dealers
Ernest H. Daniel, ice cream dealers
and diaries; Robert Dougan, utility
companies and bus companies; Joshua

Wnether Imperial county voters
favor President Roosevelt, Governor
Landon or Union Party Candidate
Lemke for the presidency should
be determined in advance of the
actual election by means of the
straw ballot, observers believed,
once they knew the painstaking
care with which the straw ballot
will be conducted. The respective
chances of Democrat Ed v. Izac
and Republican Ed Sample for con-
gress, and of Democrat Ed Law and
Republican Bill Dunn for state sem
ate, also should be decided, it was
confidently predicted.
Party leaders, at the same time,
saw in the straw ballot valuable
indication of their strength and
weakness. Returns will be tabu-
lated according to cities and super
visorial districts, showing the SEN
timent in every single part of the
county.
The assurance that no one will
know how any individual voted in
the straw ballot gave further as
surance of large return from bal
lot cards mailed from the office of
the Post-PreSs. The fact that bal
lot cards are going only to bona
fide registered voters assured ac-
curacy in returns.
Added to cards which were mail
ed Wednesday to voters in 10 pre-
cincts out of the county's 83 were
straw ballot cards mailed Thursday
to voters in 10 more precincts.
They are Buena Vista, Calexico l,
2 and 3, Calipatria L, Date, Halo
way, Holtville 1, Imperial /, and
Jasper. Names of voters were TAX
en- from official precinct register
books obtained from the county
clerk. They were chosen without
regard to party affiliation.
Additional cards will be mailed
each day until every corner of I'm
perial county has been reached by
the ballot. First tabulation of re-
turns will be published next week.

MADRID SIEGE
Rebels Driving Hard
To Capture Key
Positions

MADRID, Oct. 1. (UP)-
The government fears the
imminent loss of Aranjuez,
which controls the railroad
to Alicante on the east coast, and
is prepared for six months
siege of the capital, it was dis
closed today.
Nationalist (rebeD troops are
driving hard toward the key city,
"a miles northeast of Toledo. it
was revealed, and nationalist at
tacks in the Bargar- Olias- -Mocejon
region along the Toledo-Madrid
highway are regarded as merely
protective movements.
The principal force is advanc-
ing along the Tagus River valley
and there is fear lest the rebels
capture Aranjuez and the rail-
way.
Mobilization of artisans to fortify
the city brought TO military bar
racks new thousands of men who
have not yet taken any part in
the war. There was a call for
5000 volunteers. Men of the mill
tary classes of 1882 and 1888 are
due to report tomorrow.
The city is surprisingly tran

1t is said that there is sufficient
water in reservoirs in the actual
city area to last for three months.

1t was voted to protest the allo-
cation of but 10 per cent of the
gasoline ak funds to the Ell Centre
district instead of the customary
one fifth and to ask that this
district be allotted as great a per-
centage as any district except
Brawley. 1t was decided it would
not be fair for the El Centre dis
trict to receive less than 10 per-
cent of the total funds from the
gasoline tax, fines, registrations
and other revenue.
In discussing the compilation
of road mileages in the various
districts, the directors disapproved
OF the reputed inclusion of large

Sixth and Seventh streets near the
nursery site. Construction is ex-
pected to begin this month.
While no definite announcement
was made by the purchaser of the
title building, it is understood the
space will be devoted to a shoe
store.
The title company moved into it's
present location in 1914 and re-
manned there since that time.
Plans for the new office structure
are not complete but are in charge
of the headquarters staff at the
San Bernardino office. Tentative
plans provide for one story build
ing along a 25 foot frontage. The
building will be air conditioned,
fireproof, earthquake resistant and
modern in every feature It will be
constructed of reinforced concrete.
No changes in the personnel are
contemplated, said w. w. McEuen,
president and manager. He
entered the office in 1920 and be-
came manager in 1925. The COM
pany has three offices, San Ber-

, Wednesday night the El Centro
chamber of commerce directors
passed a resolution declaring the
project wasteful and needless and
advocating the expenditure of any
funds which might be available
either from the state or federal
sources, on improving valley farm
to market roads in the agricul-
tural area.
Many directors of the Farm
Bureau attended the meeting and
voiced strong opposition to the
San Diego road proposal. Their
opposition as we'll as The pronounced
antagonism on the part of other
Farm Bureau directors, indicated
that the Farm Bureau at its next

The Holtville Tribune Thursday
