TO California we find that the largest
proportion of ne'er do wells In the
country is among the native BORN de-
clared Prof. Adolph c. Miller, head OF
the department of economies at the
University of California, yesterday.
Himself native born Californian,
Professor Miller's depreciation of his
fellow Californians was greeted with
amazement in the classroom and with
indignation by the Native Sons OF the
Golden West of Berkeley.
Professor Millers indictment OF the
ne'er do well fraction of the state
population was delivered in his lecture
to his sophomore class in economies.
He did not preface his remarks with
any preliminaries, nor was the attack
called forth by the action of any stu

tribution of wealth and suddenly
veered his remarks to the distrlbu-
tion of good for nothings, of which he
gave California a large, and what is

NATIVE SONS INDIGNANT
The members of the fraternal order
of Native Sons were aroused today over
the professors utterances. They be-
Iieve that the economist is entitled to
hold his views on the subject Of the
native born. but that he should show
more economy in his exposition.
Judge William II. Waste declared
that he could not conceive of a reason
why Professor Miller should make such
a statement as he did in the class
room. II am acquainted with the char
acter of manhood in California, and l
can say that it compares well with
that of any part of the country" de-
clared Judge Waste.
Judge w. II. Fl Gentry said: "The
California graduates in the eastern
colleges hold up their heads with the

equals and a majority of cases better
than the eastern college men,.

his students. He declared several
months ago that the average student
less than did the average Russian stu

of being bourgeois and lacking in the
culture found in the east.

Francisco, a graduate Of the Univer-
sity of California and of eastern and
European universities. is accounted

FREIGHT CAR SERVICE.

reads are rushing freight cars to
their various divisions to supply .the
increased demand. While accommo-

ways are able to furnish satisfactory
service. Box cars are more scarce
than those in which stock are hauled.

desirable than the 33-foot car The

MILITARY DRILLS IN COLLEGES

The government assigns to- each of
..early one hundred colleges in the
United States an officer, active or re-
tired, from the regular army, to CON
duct the cadet corps drills and rifle
practices. 1t also makes appropria-
tions for supplies and ammunition.
Reports indicate that military train
ing in the various colleges is making
no progress. A lack of discipline is
noticed by the inspectors, and no pro-
vision is made for rifle range prac-
tice. The state papers have taken
the matter up. and declares that in
stead of foot ball teams and fra
ternities, the High schools should
have their cadet corps and be in
structed in marching movements and
military tactics.

HEALTH TALk-A BEGINNING.

What l shall say in these Lessor
talks will be largely an outgrowth OF
work with an organization of busy
women, who meet once week fol
physical improvement.
1t is easy to assume that we are
all members of class, ready to be.
gin. Women naturally first ask for
exercises that will correct some per.
sonal defect. cure some individual
ailment. But it is better to start
with wider outlook.
The distinguished educator, Mr.. C.
Hanford Henderson, places gymnastic
training first in the new order of ed
ucation.y Because good health and
abounding vitality are the foundation
of all excellence And because it
has the still larger educational pur-
pose, % add to the body beauty, grace
and usableness: to make it an admir-
able tool for the admirable purpose of
heart and mind
. While we must sometimes work
and work hard for correction of bad
physical tendencies, both acquired
and inherited, we must never lose
sight of this higher mission of bod
lily education, good health" abound
ing vitality" "usableness.' 1.-The adj
mirable tool for the admirable pur-
pose"
Women especially are inclined to
think that health is preserved by
care. The only way to strengthen
the body is by use. A certain amount
of physical strength is necessary to
experience the joy of living. as wei:
as to endure the hardships and the
strain of life. This is the philosophy
that will control all our efforts for
physical betterment
And now one simple, homely exer-
else, for strength, beauty, and usable-
ness:
Stretch and yawn; not suppress
ed yawn, but great big natural
yawn. Stretch as a cat stretches. Sit
ting in straigh chair or lying flat
on the back, gradually energize the
whole body, stretching to the top of
the head to the end Of the toes. and
to the finger tipss at the same time
opening the mouth wide, drawing in
a great big long breath, filling the
lungs full. getting a splendid sense
Of freedom; then relax and feel the
perfect rest of letting go.
Repeat several times. And then re-
peat at least once each day of life
hereafter. We can stretch and yawn
away more small troubles in a minute
than we can argue out of mind in
a week.-Mrs.. La Toilette in La Fol

WHY CONGRESS HATES Roose
WELT.

The New York Evening Post sum-
marizes the reasons why congress
shows such intense hatred of Roose-
welt as follows:
at is in word that Congress does
not believe in President Roosevelt s
moral sincerity. 1t thinks him hypo-
critical. He has lectured it and the
country on truthfulness, yet nine out
of ten congressman believe Mr.,
Roosevelt himself to be habitually
untruthful. He has posed as cham
pion of fair play, yet Congressman
believe him to fight foul. They pic
ture him as living in and delighting
| in an atmosphere of suspicion, in
trigue and calumny.
His talk of the square deal they
scoff at as sheer pretense. They say
that he protects favorites, such as
Paul Morton and the Steel Corpora
tion, while furiously prosecuting his
enemies or those whom he thinks
he can make political capital by at
tacking. In short, Congress is
thoroughly convinced that all the su
perior moral exhortation which it ha:
had from President Roosevelt ha:
some from a man who allows in him
self the thing he condemns il
