The meeting was called after

The entire county agriculture

but on their result depended, to
considerable extent, a departure in
to new phase of naval construc-
ton, the expenditure of enormous
sums of money and possibly the
start of new building race.
1t was reported in usually reliable
quarters that British and American
experts have reached an advanced
stage in plans for building battle
ships of more than 10000 tons and
that only a decision to build was
necessary before technical tests were
made.
Under their treaty of 1886 the
three powers restricted themselves
to battleships of not more than
35 900 tons and cruisers of not more
than 5000 tons. But by an "escala-
tor" clause they may release them
selves from these limits for pur-
poses of national security 1t was
up to the experts to agree whether
Japan is building battleships and
cruisers in excess of these limits.
and whether they should start
building such ships themselves.
A decision, in a problem that
might mean expenditure OF many
hundreds of millions of dollars, lay
with the United States and Britain
because French government
spokesman told the United Press
in Paris yesterday that Francs
would agree to advance to what
ever decision the other powers
made.
The three powers are bound only
as concerns themselves, but Ger
many and Russia have subscribed
to the treaty. Germany. by special
agreement, is entitled to build up
to roughly one third of the British
strength.

7 am. Tuesday because both Neva-
da California lines serving this
area were "out" during the storm.
Service from the Imperial Irriga-
ton district standby plant at Braw-
ley was not interrupted by the
storm, district officials said
Both lines serving the valley were
damaged Tuesday morning for the
first time in 10 years, Nevada Cali
fornia officials said. The damage
did not occur in Imperial Valley
but on the lines serving the valley.
Rain caused an insulator to set
fire to a pole near Whitewater.
The pole burned and cut off power
from Boulder dam and Is other
company power plants Repair
crews from San Bernardino and
Coachella could not reach the
place because of the mud until
around am.
At 2 am. the Rincon line, the
second line carrying power into the
valley was put out of service when
several poles washed out in raging
torrents at Henshaw dam, north
west of Julian. Crews from Ell
Centre under supervision of B. o.
Mitchell, were rushed to repair the
break The crews left Ell Centre
at 2:23 am. and still was working
shortly before noon. Men guarded
the line to pole 500 at Julian.
Monday night the Nevada Cali
fornia served the Imperial Irriga-
ton district works at Andrade by
use of the company diesel plant at
Yuma.
This interruption of service is
the longest since 1928, Harry Cork

1T grants the president the pow

An agency that does not perform

'The powers under this bill are

Some opponents of reorganization

DEAR RR:-
This morning as I was navigat-
ing down to the office-I find the
Australian crawl best adapted to
our particular type of unusual
weather. restrained myself with
difficulty from committing may
hem upon the person of a small
child. Talk about adding insult to
injury! The kid was fishing in the
gutter on Holt avenue-pole, line,
bent pin and all cts a wonder
he didn't pull you up on the end
of the line. too)
Arriving down town, however,
found out the true cause of all
our worries. 1t is not, as some have
suggested. the advent of the Seat
tie Indians baseball team, which
came amid promises of glowing
sunshine and found not even a
glimmer of electric light-if they
turned on the light after 2 am.
Tuesday.
Bert Lemons is responsible. I
have it directly from Tom Reams
that the tall one arranged all this
simply to crafty his personal am
bition. Bert came to Imperial Val
ley 20 years ago Tuesday-and Tom
informed me confidentially that
nothing is more fitting than that
the great Imperial Valley should
be all wet on this anniversary.
When I tell you that this infor-
nation exonerates Helen Womack
Roy's little daughter, you will un-
derstand my pleasure in presenting
1t Helen, you see, was born on
Feb. 30 just 10 years ago-so had
her birthday party Monday. Result
was, some catty neighbors tried to
spread the rumor the weather was
in celebration of her anniversary
Fact of the matter s-although
it may startle both Roy and Helen,
not to mention Mrs. Womack-
Helen is only two years old. Leap
year children add year to their
age every four years-and skip
the in-between times.
In conclusion may I suggest that
your valuable column should sug-
gest to the city council that, if we
can't have storm drains in Ell
Centre, at least the city should
erect a system of dykes to hold
back the floods? Personally. I
should be willing to take the place
of the little Dutch boy and hold
my finger in a leak in the dykes,
if it were necessary. I've already
left my car in one hole-and there
wasn't even a dyke there.
