632 FAMILIES
FILL VALLEY
RELIEF ROLLS

State Relief Administration rolls
contain 632 families, 500 OF the
number resident and 33 transient
families, according TO Ralph Golf,
head of the SRA for Imperial coun-
ty.
The total number of families on
the relief rolls went up and down
this winter with weather conditions
and the availability of agricul-
tural employment. The frost which
stopped the pea harvest sent the
rolls on a rapid climb from 466
on January IA to 1896 on February
25th.
December g. the roll total was
1873, December "a it was $50, Janu-
ary 7 it was 367, January % 1t was
$50. February II it was 1859, March
4 it was 1882 and March 18 it was
1896. April l the total had dropped
to 925 and April dropped still
farther to 875.
Continued decline Of the relief
rolls is anticipated, Goff said, as
spring and summer crops demand
| larger numbers of laborers. Work
in the carrots and hay is taking
tn greatest number from relief at
present. Melons are expected to
reduce the number to a still low
/ er level

yes to both questions.
Lady" said the weather observ-

works the same as nature does
when it rains. When the cold air
from the refrigerator meets the
humid air in the room, the air
condenses into fog and gets ready
to rain. Open a window and see If
the fog doesn't stop" She did and
it did.
A masculine voice once asked
how deep he would have to dig a
we'll so the water would be cooled
when run through the well in
pipes. Emmons told him he didn't
know but advanced the opinion that
the we'll digging would be in vain
because the water would warm up
again when run back to the sur
face through pipes. The man was
disappointed.

appreciate this service, too, be-
cause they frequently stop at the
city water plant to tender thanks
personally.
Wholesalers write to him from

He thinks they use the data to

the wind will blow tomorrow so my
guests from Los Angeles can't
come? Will it be so foggy at mid
night it will be unsafe for me TO

These are a few of the questions
asked Howard Emmons, govern
ment weather bureau observer al
El Centro. He does his best to
answer all the questions as well as
read the temperatures three times
a day. read the barometer, take the
humidity reading, check the wind
velocity. record the prevailing wind
direction, measure the precipitation

In spite of the fact that he is

airy for his services. His work and
records are subjected TO lnspec-
ton by district offivers every three
months and by a state inspector
twice a year. He has been in charge
of the station since the establish
ment of the service in Ell Centre
in 1881.
He frequently is asked for ad-

Miss Perkins hopes that her con-

Miss Perkins made it plain IN
extending her invitations that the
conferees would discuss the need
of new safeguards for industry to
balance gains achieved by labor
under the Wagner Act.
Conversations with adminiStra-
ton sources indicated legislation
seeking to bind responsibility OF
labor unions to contracts under
the Wagner Act would be discussed
during the next few weeks.
1t was learned that certain at
torneys close to President Roose-

poration of labor unions is the
next advisable step in formulat-
ing a labor policy. Mr.. Roosevelt
has indicated that he is favor

Office was hurrying to get through to go
on q picnic when the boss phone rang.
A moment later, with his hand on her
shoulder. Mr.. Sellers broke the news to
her, Mom had dropped quietly into the
next world. A neighbor had found her
Ia the garden. Heart attack, the doctor
said
And Priscilla was alonel She couldn't
belieyesit. Even weeks later she couldn't
realize 1t. And all through her loneliness
she had thought Of Tom.
Toni She knew he was married and
vet she aehed for the comfort OF his
strong arms. OF course, she shouldn't
grieYe. People were right who re-
minded her that Nom was better of.
And yet-when the friendly note Of
sympathy finally arrived from Tom, the
sight Of his handwriting made her heart
race so madly she felt Ill. She was
frightened, COO, because the note added:
4 plan to go through Brighton Saturday
on business. I'll drop in at the office
Maybe we can have lunch together"
She couldn't see himl She realized sud-
denly that she'd thought about him SO
much. she'd make a fool OF herself If
she saw him. What could she do2 Her
vacationl That was it Mr., Sellers had
been urging her to take one.
An hour later she'd finished the last
draft of note to Tom: "I'll be on my
vacation, SO will miss you. Give Gwen
my love. Best wishes to you both Pris-
ella"
Shed play safe-not tell any one where
she was going. So. surreptitiously. she
slipped over to Los Angeles-it wasn't
far-and took the interurhan to the Cat
aline Island boat.
A Summer resort Is q terribly lonely

In couples having fun.
DRISCILLA laid out the gay frocks she
had bought in a moment Of bravado
soft blue ones and lovely creamy
white sport suit that emphasized the
f1aWlesSness of her skin and the clearness
Of her gray eyes. She wore them one
after another smiing-to the dining
room-out on lone walks.
And by the third day. strolling along
the waye-kissed shore watching bird
disappear into the far blue, she decided
there was one way QUITO blaze a new
path--alone-like that bird, to leave
Brighton abruptly without leaving for
Warding address Would that be silly
when her whole life seemed to revolve
around one unattainable man, when she
owed allegiance to no one in the world?
Thinking of it, she felt lifted as If her
heart, balloon like. had expanded with
kind Of melancholy pleasure and was car
rying her along. Never go back Let's
see She could write check for all the
money Nom had left her and use 1t to
go q long way. And the house? If she
went back. she was lost. This must be
