Local Fans Will
See Williams Box
A party of local fight fans are
planning to go to San Bernardino to
morrow night to see Prank (Kid)
Williams, formerly of this eitv, in
act ion.
W Illinois is scheduled to fight the
ten round main event with Neil
it’lisby, considered one of the tough
est heavyweights on the coast. Wil
liams has already scored two vic
tories over dishy, but the latter has
come along strong since then and is
expected lo give the former El Cen
tro boy a tough scrap.
Since leaving El Centro more than
a year ago Williams has made long
strides in the puglistic world and
is now fighting in and around Los
Angeles with good success.
Another El Centro man on the
card is Joe Mandot, who began
fighting about the time of the Revo
lutionary War and is still going
strong. Every so often Joe is re
ported as “through” only to bob
up again and thrash some much
younger opponent who aspires to
pugilistic honors..

Swing Introduces
Bills For Valley
Congressman Phil D. Swing has
introduced two bills in congress for
the purpose of permitting valley
residents to organize road districts
to shorten the distance between
Y lima and Calexico and Los Ange
les and C.ulipatria, according to dis
patches from Washington.
At present travelers coming west
from Yuma and wishing to go to
Calexico must oil her come to El
Centro and then turn south, or else
travel over bad roads from the
state highway through the Bonds
Corner district. If is proposed to
construct a highway turning off
the main state road at a point 21
miles east of Calexico .and running
directly to that border town. This
will sane .about 10 miles for Calex
ico travelers. Eight miles of the
proposed road are over the public
domain.
In going from Bos Angeles to
C.i'ipet ria. travelers must go al
most to Brawley and then double
back at an .angle. II is proposed to
save 10 miles in the run to Cal i pat
ri.u by cutting off from the main
highway at Katie Springs.
N. Y. Women
Favor Small Hat
By HEDDA HOYT
(Written for the United Press)
NEW YORK. April 14.—Most of
the straw hats one sees at present
j are either black or tan or brown
j stinw in the same familiar shapes
as were winter felts. Many of them
are velvet or satin faced, partieii
larlv where the upturned brim is
used. There is a tendency at pres
ent toward the tip-turned brim, us
ually the brim is but an inch or an
inch and a half wide. No flower
trimmed lints have appeared as yet
since trimmings so far run to rib
bons. rhinestone ornaments and
small feather fancies.
At fen hour in the hotels one sees
frocks worn beneath coats which
were designated for spring wear. One
young matron at the Vanderbilt
wore a charming little grass green
c!epe frock with pleated panels in
a darker green forming a. front
apron effect. The back of the
gown was entirely plain, the high
iollar closed at the side with tiny
silver buttons which extended on
'lie shoulder seam. A small green
bankok hat with narrow up turned
cuff brim of green velvet had a
j (duster of green feather flowers
drooping over the left ear.
Accompanying this matron was an
elderly woman gowned in black
georgette trimmed in black lace. The
lace formed a double jabot at the
V-shaped neck, formed the lower
portion of the flaring bell shaped
sleeves and was repeated in godets
to give flare to the hemline.
An interesting young miss who is
always wearing something n bit un
usual appeared at the Ritz the other
afternoon dressed in a flame red
velvet jacket which just reached
her hips. It extended in points in
back and in front and was bordered
in black inonkev fur.
BRISBANE TO BE
MET AT NILAND
In order to extend greetings from
Imperial Valiev to Arthur Brisbane,
famous columnist and writer of the
llenrst papers, who was scheduled
to pass through Niland this after
noon, a delegation of local men left
here shortly after noun to intercept
the distinguished newspaperman at
Niland.
Brisbane's column, “Today.” is
syndicated through hundreds of pa-
IH rs throughout the country each
day and has millions of readers, lie
is a strong booster for Caliiuraia and
the local men realized that be would
be more than a desirable means of
getting some splendid publicity tin
imperial Valley.
The delegation went armed with
I dee t v of statistics on Imperial \ al
ley. stressing the importance of the
coining cantaloupe crop which ioin
prises 4t).PuO acres ami will produce
g«. 000 ears of cantaloupes.
.toe Bowers, local manager for
.John Amicoii and Brother company,
searched his fields near Seeley this
morning and found four cantaloupes
of sufficient size to show to Bris
bane as evidence that Imperial Val
iev is first in the cantaloupe market
and can produce fruit at a tune
when other sections of the country
are beginning their farm work.
••The cantaloupes are not edible,"
Bowers said, but they will show
what we can produce here. 1 hey
would have been ripe if it lmd not
been foe tlie cold rains here.
Even tlie very simple spring bats
bring top prices.
