Doctor Publishes
Two Ads a Week
Over Long Period

Two advertisements a week for
eight and a half months is the
record, advertisingly speaking, OF
Dr. F.. A. Whitaker, Ell Centro Gre
dit dentist.
DR.. Whitaker came to FL Centre
in May of last year, opened offices
and started advertising credit
terms and expert dental work in
the Pest and Press. Since opening
his offices in the Valley theatre
building the doctor has built an
ever increasing clientele and at
tributes large part of his follow
ing to the fact that they read his
advertising in these newspapers.
I'VE appreciate greatly" he said,
"the results we have enjoyed from
our continuous advertising sched-
ule. 1t is bit difficult to get
started and acquainted in a new
community. Without such con-
tinuous advertising campaign 1t
would have taken me years and
years to become acquainted and
known to the great number of peo-
pie | now know and for whom l
perform dental work. Everyone
knows it pays to advertise and /
certainly have found to my own
satisfaction that this maxim is alb
solutely true.
I'VE expect to continue adver-
tising and making new friends in
Imperial Valley for years and years
to come" he concluded.

Social Security Board Sends Agent to
Brawley, Fl Centre Each Thursday

Federal old-age insurance settle
ments, paid through the social Sc
curity board to the families of de-
ceased workers who were employed
at covered jobs before death and
to eligible persons attaining age
65, reached a total of $741 ,577.33 in
the state of California at the end
of 1888, James j. Norris, San Diego
manager of the social security board
announced.
Payments to California claimants
during December averaged $6464 as
compared with a national average
of $6563. Settlements were made
with l6,626 persons in this state
during 1897 and 1898.
Norris said that although many
families are probably not yet aware
of the insurance protection af-
forded by the social security act
in the event of the death of the
wage Garner, he is encouraged by
the increasing number Of persons
who apply at his office at 306 Sc
curity Trust and Savings Bank
building, Fifth and E streets, San
Diego and submit their claims.
Payments to beneficiaries are
based on 3l4 per cent of wages
earned at covered employments be-
tween January l, 1887 and the date
of death or attainment of age 65
This means, Norris said, that the
settlements are 3@ times the
amount paid by the worker in the
form of a tax on his wages.

 Estimates on the number in the gang varied from four to six. They entered the hotel lobby through the garden, according to Alfred Stone, the manager. All carried guns and held handkerchiefs before their faces. "They must have been in the hotel about 70 minutes and made Q lot of racket, but no one upstairs heard them," Stone said.

30 Natlonalities Repre-. scented in State Projects;

An examinatio nof project em. ploye files, recently completed by ton, has revealed some interesting the National Youth Adminlstra- ton, has revealed some interesting facts concerning the education and natoinalities of the IVA workers; 1t was announced today by Rich- ard A. Barrett, director for the State of Connecticut. Contrary to the cmmon belief that these youth are of the lower educated level, the examination shows that the major- tty of those employed by the NYA have attended secondary schools,
 SiSty-nine per cent have had at least partial high school etluca- ton and three fourths of these are graduates, this number being g per cent of the total. Those work CTS who have attended college com prise two per cent of the total and a few of these have taken courses in graduaete schools above college, These figures prove that the major ity of the youth on the IVA have had @ fairly good education and are now in need of work experi- ence. Barrett states that the Na- tional Youth Administration has O two fold purpose in this regard; ; first, to give the young men end women the experience that will help them find Q place in private in- dustry, and secondly, to furnish

 "1t may be all right for college students to read this sort of thing" she said, "but I don't think you want your high school children get- ting their sex education in maga- zine of this kind"

 The examination also showed that 90 or more different nationalities are represented by IVA employees, the greatest number being Italian, American, Irish. or Polish. Other nationalltieS mentioned are: French, Russian, English, Dutch. Danish, Austrian. German, spanish, Jewish, Swiss, Slovac, Aremnian, Portuguese, Lithuanian, Assyrian, and many others,
 while most of the workers are native born, both parents of ap- proximately forty-two per cent are foreign born, and the eight per- cent have one foreign born parent. Barrett also points out that these figures do not indicate, with any accuracy, the employment situation among people of any nationality, Those nationalities that have the greatest representation on the IVA rolls are those that are predomin- ant in the population of the state as 0 whole.

 It was the first major hotel rob- bery of the Florida winter season. Stone said the hotel was insured against the loss. Police reported one of the l6 footed deposit boxes con- tained hotel funds. An hour after the bandits entered the Blackstone, two men walked into the lobby of the Cavalier hotel, located Q few blocks away, held up the night clerk and escaped with the contents of the cash drawer. Police had not learned how much was taken in the Cavalier holdup but said there ap- parently was no connection between the two robberies.
