Hathaway says. "They must

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your common
cough, chest cold, or bronchial trrl-

CreomulSion. Serious trouble may
be brewing and you cannot afford
to take a chance with any remedy

the inflamed mucous membranes
and to loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm.
Even If other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money II you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained. CreomulSion Is one

perately while two other
boys looked on, two sons of

rancher drowned in New

their brother, and Manuel Diaz,
cousin, looked on helplessly while
the boys sank below the muddy
surface of New River.
Coroner's deputies and Imperial
Irrigation District workers were
unable to locate the bodies in
spite of an intensive search. The
river at that point is from 40 to
80 feet wide and a swift current
is fed by approximately 1000 sec
ond feet of water.
Deputy Coroner Herbert Hughes
planned Monday to confer with
irrigation district officials about
attempting to shut off waste water
into New River in an effort. to
lower the stream sufficiently to
lind the bodies. A patrol was main
tanned along the stream Monday.
The boys were swimming in the
river Sunday morning, officials
were told. when their companions
heard them cry out for help. Joe
Espinosa' Jr,, and Manuel Diaz
raced toward them, but from a
point 200 yards away saw them
clasped in one another's arms as
they went down.

IN Imperial valley business and
social circles. Rogers was an auto
mobile dealer, Harlan one of his
employees. Both were active in Elks
lodge activities.
Cause Mystery j.
Mystery surrounded cause of the
crash. John Conley. and M. Cha
koSky, inspectors for the u. 8.
bureau of air commerce, were un-.
able to determine why the plane
fell.
Rogers, with Harlan as a pas
senger, was flying at about 500
feet when, with motor still roaring,
the plane went into a tailspin and
dove to the ground, according to
Barney Watson, one of the few
witnesses. The switch was still
on when the wreckage was exam
ined. Another account said the mo-
tor faltered, the plane dove, and
the motor roared into activity again
just before the crash.
Impact of the crash telescoped
the steel braces of the plane and
made complete Wreckage of the
craft, a Fairchild monocoupe. Rog-
ers, his safety belt broken, was
tossed part way out. His head and
shoulders rested on the ground.
his legs and hips were in the plane.
Harlan fastened in by his safety
belt was crushed.
Pleasure Hop
The pair evidently was returning
to the Brawley airport after a
pleasure flight over Brawley.
where the plane was noticed earlier
IN the morning, flying at about
1000 feet altitude. Scene of the
crash is approximately one mile
east of the airport road, and only
about half a mile, airline, from
the airport.
Deputy Coroner Frank Raney,
assisted by Brawley police and
other officers, was forced to block
off the field when hundreds OF
curiosity-driven spectators throng-
ed about the wreckage.
Bodies were taken to the Hopes
mortuary at Brawley pending an
inquest and other arrangements.
