This Ia dangerous, for unAess tho mu-

other common cause of hoarseness is
the swelling or looseness of the local
cords. This Is generally caused by
sudden exposure or by prctraoted pub

called "ciergyman's hoarseness" The

MANY NEW FEATURES
PROPOSED BY ALUMNI
Present Holders of Offices Are Busy
Men and All Welcome Sugges-
tion-Express Approval
of Move

The alumni secretary is working in
cooperation with the class secretaries
ir order to bring about a greater recog-
milton of charter day among the alumni
and to make the annual celebration in
the Greek theater more truly en-
blematic of their appreciation of the
founding of the university. With this
end in view Professor Richardson OF
the committee in charge of the eXer-
cises has agreed to make special seat
ing arrangements for California alumni
and invitations will be sent out by the
university to the graduates asking
them to attend. A number of the class
secretaries have taken up the idea and
are working with the alumni secretary
to secure the fulfillment of the plan.
In this connection steps are being
taken to reorganiZe the body of perma-
nent class secretaries. In the first
place, in accordance with a suggestion
offered by Mr.. Eugene Hallett, presi-
dent of the class of 1905, it has been
proposed to the various class officers
that the general alumni secretary's Of
flee take charge of the actual work Of
sending out all communications for
class reunions under the direction and
signatures of the class secretaries, each
class to pay it's pro rata of expense,
the general income to be set aside
fl ON the class funds of each class to
meet the expense incurred in this man
ner. Glass secretaries, many of whom
are busy men of affairs, would be re-
l:eVed of the burdensome part of their
duties, as the central office is especially
equipped to handle extensive issues of
circular letters readily, with it's COM
plete revised card index of alumni and
ether mailing facilities. Secondly, it is
10 ,i1a If
manent class secretaries, as some of
them have moved away from the bay
region, or have become so preoccupied
with business affairs that they do not
feel able longer to give proper attention
to class affairs, and have therefore
asked to be relieved. 1t is proposed
to have an active secretary for every
class living near Berkeley, and then
form a permanent class secretaries as
sociation, which shall meet to develop a
gl eater esprit de corps to further the
interests of the university through the
permanent class organization. A num-
Ter of permanent class secretaries nave
expressed their enthusiastic approva!
of the idea and are working to brlng
about it's fulfillment.
The English club of the University OF
California kill present Shakespeare s

This club, since it's founding in 1906,
has taken the literary interests of the
college in charge. Besides publishing

the university, it has given one play
each semester in the Greek theater.
Though membership in the club is re-

SAN BERNADINO, March b.
Mayor j. ]. Hanford has suspended
Hose Wagon Driver Albert Glatz of
the fire department for unbecoming
conduct, pending an investigation by
the council.
Substitute Driver Fred Fruch is also
suspended. The suspensions grow out
of the putting of a Chinese down the
sliding pole as a joke Friday, the
celestial being badly injured.
Glatz has been a thorn in the side of
the present administration and an eX-
cuse has been sought for some time for
a chance to get him out.
He has been a driver in the depart
ment for the past eighteen years and
has withstood all sorts of political
plots, always being kept in the place
through the confidence of the business
men, whose voice the political cliques
did not dare disegard.
Whether he will be permanently
ousted this time remains to be deter
mined, but 1t is believed his friends
will make a hard fight.

SAN BERNARDINO, March 15.-Ac-
cording to reports received here it is
believed that Henry V. Holbrook, d
Nevada prospector, has been lost in
Death valley. With several compan-
ions he had been prospecting in the
canyons of the Funeral range on the
edge of Death valley, and on Wednes-
day left camp to secure horning sam
pies of a ledge he had located about
mile distant.
Not returning that night his COM
panions supposed he had decided to
spend the night in the canyon, but as
he failed to show up Thursday noon
they become alarmed and went in
search of him. About q mile beyond
the ledge they found a hat which is
supposed to be his.
During the night a fierce sandstorm
occurred. which obliterated all tracks,
and it is believed he got lost in the
blow and has perished.
However, this is not the first time
he has disappeared. About year
ago he disappeared while working not
q great ways from Goldfeld and was
gone two weeks, his only explanation
when he returned being that he had
decided to visit ledge he had discov-
cred about six years before.
