WINS DELAY ON CASES

Ben Haber, with offices in the 1000
block OF I street, who was the first
person arrested in the recently in
augurated drive against unauthorized
small-loan establishments, was AZ
raigned before Police Judge Edward
M. Curran yesterday.
He was charged with violating the
small-loan act, writing insurance
without a license and operating an
unauthorized firm. He pleaded not
guilty to the first charge and asked
permission of the court, which was
granted, to withhold his pleas on the
other two charges until next Wednes-
day, to which date all the cases were

He said that the carbon magnet

1t is particularly good for cleaning
up alcoholic liquors, wines, glycerine
and water.
1t has worked we'll on lard and
sugar. In the case of gelatin the
carbon removes virtually all traces
of animal odors.
Maurice Standsby of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries, College
Park, Md, advised housewives to look
at the calendar before deciding
whether to fry, boil, or bake fish.
Fish, it appears from Standsby s
study, differ vastly from month to
month in their amount of oil.
Fish having high oil contents" he
said, Should never be fried, since the
frying process decomposes the highly
unstable oil to give rancid favors.
Some species of fish may be fried
at one season when they have a low

Industrialist Opposes
Issue Of More Bonds

E. MASON, industrialist, Ell Cen
tro, believes the only chance to Sc
cure fair electric rates is to accept
the cooperative power offer and
vote down the bonds. He says:
"I cannot see how it would be
possible for electric rates in Imper-
ial Valley to continue as at pres
ent if the District entered into COM
petition throughout the Valley with
the present company. with neces-
sary duplication of investment and
expenses. 1t seems to me that the
only way to hold the rates down
will be to accept the Power Corpora.
tion's proposal, get the revenue
from the sale of power wholesale
on the Canal. and then insist that
the power company's operations bt
regulated to keep expenses down..
Certainly in my opinion there is
much better chance to have fail
rates under state regulation of the
power company than by an un-
regulated corporation such as the
District"

that the offer to finance the All American Canal pOiU-

ion concerning the UaIidity and binding effect upon
The Neuada- California Electric Corporation of the

certain funds to The Imperial Irrigation Dis

made in Uriting abOUe Mr.. Vests signature

by the Imperial Irrigation District Wthin the specified
time of six months from and after the date of the

in the competitive situation there
by reason of duplication of lines,
and from the experience of the
Brawley people, I am satisfied that
the valley would be much better off
If some plan could be worked out
between the power company and
the Irrigation District to avoid
such unnecessary waste.
The power company's proposal
seems awfully fair to me and will
give the. people much more net
