Spiritual Inquiries
Border Patrolman William F..
Mooney, whose speciality is patrol
ing the back country, has become
quite an authority on such natural
or supernatural phenomena as mys-
terious tracks across the desert
leading to nowhere, lights on hills
which vanish upon investigation,
and the like, says a contributor.
MONEYS latest research has been
into the comings and goings OF the
phantom of VallecitoS. 1t will be
remembered that the legend says
this phantom-in the form OF a
headlesS horSeman on certain moon
light nightS-riCes Down on the
lonely old Vallecito Stage Station,
and anyone who is unlucky enough
to see it meets with fate worse
than death. or something. Mooney,
says our contributor, declares his
investigations would be more COM
plete except that for reasons best
known to himself, he chooses dark
nights for the Vallecitos trips. On
moonlight nights he goes else
where.
Another Authority
Those who are constantly COM
planning, as per a recent issue OF
this column, about dogs tipping
over their garbage cans and max
ing a mess out of their alleys, might
consult c. H. Bud" Johnston, who
lives at 391 Holt avenue for a solu-

The Tables Turn
Charles Diorio, produce man,
who's six feet tall and weighs
about 200 pounds or thereabout,
decided that no little fellow like
Jose Moreno, diminutive Spanish
dancer at an Ell Centro night spot,
had a corner on the ability to
whirl people around his head, so
Diorio usurped the floor and pro-
ceeded to demonstrate-With JoSe'S
consent - that he, Diorio. could
whirl Jose around his head the
same way, and without any pre-
viouS training.
Now" said Jose after it was
over, Il think maybe l can whirl
you around my head"
And he did 1t both turned the
tables and made the tables turn,
Diorio declared.
