pointed a committee to visit FL Campo
next Sunday for the purpose of laying
out the regatta course, which will prob
ably begin nearer to the ferry landing
than in previous years. The course is to
be measured so that the distance may be
accurately known 1t was announced
that the architectural class of the Hum
boldt Evening High School will enter a
barge crew, and efforts will be made to
get crews from various companies of the
League of the Cross Cadets. At a former
regatta crews entered from Companies C,
L and NJ of the League of the Cross
Cadets and made an interesting and
closely contested race
1t was stated that the citizens Fourth
of July celebration committee had offered
the sum of 1920 to the regatta committee
for the purpose of giving races on indie
pendence day. The members of the re-
gatta committee were strongly of the
opinion that the sum offered is entirely
inadequate for the purpose, as q good re-
gatta costs from $500 to $500. 1t was
unanimously decided to reject the offer
as a paltry one. The clubs are under the
necessity of spending money for training
and equipment and for necessary repairs
to boats, and the small sum offered would
hardly cover these expenses. without
reckoning the amount that must be ex-
pended in prizes. Entries for the various
events in the regatta close on Monday
evening, June 10, at the office of. A. P.
Rothkopf, 20S Suffer street. Regtstra-
ton fees must be paid or proof of regis
tration given on making entries.

TO KEEP FOOD CRISP.

A novel way Of opening a package of
food is shown on the Grape-Nuts pack
age, where a line indicates that a slit
should be made with a knife, and the
package squeezed, which makes it gap
enough to pour out what is needed for
a meal, then the package automatically
closes, preserving the contents from the
moisture Of the air.
AS a rule Grape-Nuts packages are
not kept on hand very long in any
family, but it is we'll to know how to
keep the contents of the package in
prime condition. Grape-Nuts are ready
cooked, very crisp, and can be served
Immediately with a little good cream or
milk This feature is of great advant-
age TO those who appreciate ease and
convenience in preparing breakfast.
Price Is cents per package.

EXPECT A LIVELY SESSION.
Teachers Dread the Coming Meeting
of Alameda's School Board

ALAMEDA, June 1.-THE Board of Ed
ucation will meet tomorrow night to elect
teachers and a most exciting session is
locked for Whether or not changes will
be made is query that no one can an
swer. The breaking of all combinations
through the difference of opinion origi-
mating from the payment of the Ballentine
bill has left the directors at sea- and It is
probable that not until the vote is taken
tomorrow night will the members of the
board themselves know what the results
are to be.
The directors undertook to hold a Sc
cret caucus and one of those present
failed TO keep the secret. This so incensed
the other members that they declare they
will never participate in another star
chamber session. In consequence the
merits of teachers viii have to be dis
cussed in open meeting and tomorrow
night some of the Alameda pedagogues
will probably be given an opportunity to
hear themselves picked to pieces. "
Teachers who have been threatened with
removal have been at work for week
pulling wires to save their places.

to see more fighting. On this point
General Funston feels certain that the
latest developments around Manila and
the forward movement Of the army u1I
der General Macarthur will bring the
insurrection TO al end at an early
date.
With reference 70 MS former stop in
this city, ne said i VAS coincidence

he came on last year, with the excep-
ton that he was then but a Colonel,
with only his career in Cuba the facts
OF his personal history. while hare
last year the Twentieth Kansas bal
loted for its State officers, the first bal
lot of the kind ever cast here.
General Funston IS al extremely APP
proachable dignicary, and offered in
formation in regard to himself and his
movements without reserve. Question
ed as to his future IN the Philippines,
he said:
Il left Manila just three months ago
today, and am now IN the new vOlun-
.teer service with my old commission of
Brigadier General, under the laws Of
Congress OF last March. ] do not know
where will be sent, Or in whose divis-
ion l will have my brigade; but l pre-
sumo that I will have some service in
Luzon, as i appears from the reports
that the fighting IS being pressed there,
and. of course, it will be the policy to
concentrate action there until the war
is ended.
From the cao]e reports I should
judge the thing Is almost over, and /
should not be at all surprised if upon
arrival in Manila there would be no
more fighting. The insurgents seem
TO be showing a good deal Of energy Of
late. but there is now almost an ade-
quate number OF troops to get at them
and hold them down; there are very
nearly enough men there now or en-
route TO send brigade almost any
where in Luzon"
