Never Rub
Soap Into Hair

HERE'S A word to the wise
about the care of your hair.
Never rub soap directly on the
hair when giving it shampoo.
Soap applied this way sticks
like the dickens and you never
can get it out. Result: your
hair loses luster, never looks
quite clean, and picks up every
particle of dust and SCOT in the
air.
Use good liquid shampoo or
If you are the energetic kind
you can make your own.

Highways from Imperial Valley
lead north, south, east and west
to as cosmopolitan a collection of
recreational areas as were ever
grouped about one spot on the
globe.
Heading north? There's world
famous Palm Srpings, the resort OF
the Hollywood stars, no more than
three hours away by motor car from
the center of the valley. Or, if you
prefer, there are the noted date
ranches of Coachella Valley, and
the fascinating hills and mount
aims that surround them, still near
er than Palm Springs.
Going south? Then there is old
Mexico, with its quaint intermingl-
ing of the modern and the ancient,
with its never failing lure of in
teresting shops and intriguing peo-
pie. IF you go far enough-and you
can go by air, by rail or by auto

Most remarkable change in In
perial Valley during the last two
decades has been the change from
modest homes to more and more
elaborate, comfortable residences
This is true not only in virtually
every one of the valleys conlmuni-
ties but among the ranch homes
as well While not many years age
city comforts were hardly known
upon the farms, nowadays many are
built just as beautifully and equip
ped just as luxuriously as the new
est city homes.
AS in other cities. FL Centre has
undergone its own residential boom
The average new home in 1920 cost
$500. The average home built in
l94l costs more than 5000:
81 Centres increase is in the
same pattern that can be applied
to other valley cities. Partly re-
sponsible for the rush in home
building has been the program fol-
lowed by city councils of selling at
reasonable prices tax delinquent
property, in order to get it back on
the tax rolls.
In e Centre specifically, the re-
suit has been construction of scores
of new homes on lots that other
wise might have lain on the de-
linquent rolls. Within the last three
years more than 200 new homes
have gone up within the city.
Key real estate men report that
residential values have climbed Is
per cent and in some cases much
more. This is partly because of the
high type Of residence being con-
structed.

profusion across the hills. The wild
flowers themselves furnish the mo-
tive for Julian's greatest annual

From weed shack TO palace in
30 years telss the life story of the
schools OF Imperial Valley.
In 1902 the desert residents de-
cided it was high time they had a
school fer their children. They
wanted the youngsters to stop max
ing history and start studying it,.
So the parents OF CaleXico and
Imperial talked it over. Accustom-
ed TO doing everything for them
selves, the pioneers didn't wait for
county authorities in San Diego to
DO anything about it. They start
cd their own district and provided
their own school.
II took less than four hours for
the. men OF Imperial and Calexico
to set up 4 tent build an arrow
weed ramada. and install Professor
J. f. Carr as the teacher. tSince
the early settlers fail TO agree on
just where this first school was
located it is well not to go into
the location matter. Just ignore it,
The one district was divided in
1904 and Calexico and Imperial
districts each had q school, Calex-
leo moved the tent TO town while
Imperial used another arrow weed
ramada.
