CoURsING

Nearly 1900 people witnessed the
coursing matches at Agricultural park
yesterday afternoon, the attendance
being much larger than had been ex-
pected, considering that there were sew
erai counter attractions. The sport was
the best that has been witnessed there
since the coursing began. B. N. Smith,
jr.'s Juliet WON the purse, defeating
Queen b, last Sundays winner, in the
finals by only three points. The score

The new grounds of the Southern Cal

street line of the Santa Monica Electric
railway are nearly completed and prep
arations are being made to make the oc-
casion of the opening Of the new park
one of the events in the history Of cours-
ing in this state. The club has secured
control Of nearly 100 acres Of ground,
which is almost as level as a floor. This
has been inclosed in a ten-foot fence.
the lower edge of which has been buried
fifteen inches under ground to prevent
the hares escaping by burrowing under
it. Kennels have been provided for near
ly 100 dogs. The cost Of the park will be
nearly $4,000. The first coursing will take
place there Christmas day.

CYCLING

| AS was expected, the war in prices
on the new chainless bicycle has begun.
Even before the season in which 1t was
the intention to make this new machine
leader, there has been a cut in prices
that will make almost impossible the
intention of the pioneers in the field to
maintain uniform price of 1928, or even
500, on the new wheel. The war In
prices that has taken place this year
was a long time in coming, and looking
back at it now 1t is surprising how
long the riders Of the country contented
themselves in paying 500 for wheels
that are now to be purchased at from
$40 to $50, and that, too, at a profit. When
anything was said year ago about the
fact that the ruling prices on some of
the grades was exorbitant, that state
ment was met by the assertion that the
cost Of the wheels and the cost of SELL
ing them left to the retail dealer only
a fair profit on q sale at catalogue
prices. Since then it has been learned
that the profits in the bicycle business
have been enormous to somebody. If
the dealer did not make 1t the reason
was that the maker hogged all the prof
it's. The break that occurred about the
middle of the season Of 1897 instilled in
the minds of prospective purchasers a
doubt as to the sincerity Of the makers
and as to the stability of any price, and
to that end hurt the business There
will be no combination to hold I'D the
prices of chainless wheels, for the
makers have already begun to cut each
others prices in a manner that indicates
that before the close Of the next season
chainless wheels may be purchased at
the buyers own prices.
w. e. Decker of Minneapolis, who was
to have appeared here at the Thanksgiv-

to the east. He came to the coast to
take all the prizes that were offered to
professionals, but was able to get but
one race, which he lost. When he left
he stated that he would return later in

Against the Law.

There is q law on the statute
books of Idaho forbidding the sale
Hof cigarettes to minors. Every
day, however, we see boys Of four
teen or fifteen, even younger than
that, with the accursed, illsmelling
denominations between their lips.
Cigarettes are publicly sold to boys
every day. The officers Of tile law
certainly often see these sales and
and beyond question must see
young children with cigarettes in
their mouthes every hour In the
day. Parents must certainly know
when their children contract this
habit. Still it goes on. without the
least apparent attempt to check it.
All educators will tell you that
when they notice lack of mental
quantities or of capacities for ap-
plication in pupil, they can al
most invariably trace its beginning
to the commencement of the cigar
cite habit. Nearly every day the
newspapers note cases of degener-
acy and insanity among children
due to the excessive smoking OF
cigarettes. They destroy mental
and bodily force, weaken the char
aeter and lessen the ability to re-
sist other temptations. In fact
the boy who smokes cigarettes has
never been known to become a
useful man.
If then we have a law against
the gale Of these insidious rolls of
bad tobacco and paper, why not
enforce it9 Why do not parents
and officers, if there is no other
way to prevent this evil, see that
the law is enforced2 We should
all have interest enough in our
boys to see that they have at least
a chance for useful manhood and
that in the struggle Of life, which
at best is hard enough, they are
able to look the world in the face
with clear minds and strong bod

ltimated at 1927. Taking out $40.
40 for salaries this would leave

The report placed the assessed
valuation at 100000 and asked
that the council fix the levy for
the present year. After q long
discussion a motion to levy five
mills was carried, Mr.. Perkins
however, thought three mills would
be sufficient. The finance COM

accordingly. x~Y
