Chinese Born In America Barred.

San Francisco, Sept. City At
torney Long has furnished the
Board of Education an opinion deal
Ing with the question Of the admissi-
bility of native-born Chinese children
to public schools other than schools
established for them. In brief, he
holds that the question of nativity
has no bearing on the case; that Chi
nese children are Mongolians, ire
spective OF birthplace, and that IL
special schools of equal standing
are not provided for them, they are
entitled to attend any school. The
opinion is given in response to a
query from the Board of Education
with reference to the request OF the
parents Of three native-born Chinese
maidens who wished their daughters
to attend schools other than the ORR
entail school.
The political code provides that
every school shall be open for the
admission Of all children between
and q years of age, residing in the
district. This section also author
ICES boards of education to establish
separate schools for Indian, Chinese
or Mongolian children, and provides
that when such schools are estab-
lished, such children must not be
admitted to any other school.
The object of the law is clearly to
segregate the white children OF the
public schools from those of Mongol-
ian or Indian descent, and is not to
deny the latter of any of the equal
rights guaranteed by the constitu-
ton.

BETTER FIRE PROTEC.
ton FOR SCHOOLS

At a recent meeting of the Hood
River board of school directors the
matter of better fire protection was
taken up and resulted in the purchase
of six fire eXtinguishers of the most
approved type. These will be placed
in the schools and the pupils instruct
ed in regard to their use in case OF
emergency.
The board also voted to secure five
fire escapes. These are so constructed
that they can be kept near the win
dows and thrown to the ground in
case of fire. They have a sack or
Hammock attachment in which the
pupils can rapidly slide to the bottom.
Another matter taken up by the di
rectoIs was that of providing protec-
tion for the school grounds on Park
street against runaway teams. 1t Is
stated that several runaways have oo-
Cured recently on the road leading
past the school and owing to the fact
that the horses cannot make the short
turn near the school they have dashed
into the grounds 1t is feared by the
patrons of the school that one of these
runaways may take tplace at the time
school is being dismissed and that it
might be the cause OF the death or
serious injury to numbGr of the
children. To protect against an aoci-
dent OF this kind the directors have
decided to erect low of strong posts
along the side of the school grounds.

Los Angeles, Sept. THAT II
cows in the Giegerich dairy which
have gone blind mysteriously are the
victims of new disease is the opin-
ion of Fl. ]. Daniels, a veterinary
surgeon, who has been studying the
cases.
At first there seemed to be every
indication that the cows had been
blinded by knife plunged into their
eyes. On closer examination 1t was
discovered that the hole in each eye
was located in the same relative posi-
ton.
The veterinary acknowledges that
he never heard of similar disease.
1t is thought possible that small tum-
ors have formed In the eyes and
broken, leaving a hole and destroy
Ing the sight. Tests will be made
with the cows, and 1t Is hoped to
learn the exact cause of the animals
going blind.

AUTO ROAD HOOD
RIVER TO PORTLAND

A proposition to build an sutomo-
bile road from Portland to Hood Riv-
Ell is being agitated by Portland own
ers of Hood River property.
1t is stated that they are willing to
give Sl5, 900 toward building the road
if the rest of the money necessary to
build it will be contributed by resi-
dents OF Hood River. Rough estim-
ates that have been secured place the
cost of the road at S25, 900. Most OF
this, it is claimed, would be spent be-
tween Hood River and Cascade Locks.
At present there is no highway be-
tween these two places, as the o. X.
& N Railroad company appropriated
the wagon road. The road to be
constructed would extend from Latou-
relle Falls 10 Viento. If the load Is
completed plans include an improve
ment of the road from here to Cloud
Cap Inn, so that automobilists will be
able to reach that resort in quick time
with their cars.
The plan is to restore the old Dalles-
Sandy state road to LatOurelle Fails
and then follow the Irad now in use
from there to Portland. committee
consisting of G. K. Marshall, Col.
Hartley and Chauffeur Baldwin expect
to 60 to Bonneville this week and ride
