Large Stanford Delegation

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 2T.
One of the largest delegations of
women students which has ever at
tended the annual conference of the
Young Women's Christian association
at Capitola left last evening and this
morning for the opening exercises
which were held at the seaside resort
today. There is more interest this
year in this conclave of women stu
dents of the more important univer-
stiles of the coast than at any time in
the past. The organization at this
university has been particularly active
during the college year.
The president of the local branch.
Miss Alice Shinn, a senior from Oak
land, who has been active in maxim z
preparations for the conference. out
lined the activities OF the convention.
She said that the conclave is to be
important in many ways. The number
of speakers who will come from the
east is larger than before and in addi-
tion many we'll known workers from
cities on this coast will be present. The
local delegation included in its num-
Der some of the best known sorority
and club girls. 1t has been learned
here that a large delegation will also
go to Capitola from Berkeley. The
convention will be in session one week,
beginning today.

Road Race |

Many OF those under consideration do
not. come up to the requirements of
such an event. The fcoures that seems
to be the most favored is the d shaped
course known as the Palisades route

the only objection being that there is
only fraction over eight miles to a
lap.
toned is the San Fernando Chatsworth
park road. To this route is brought the
objection that the expense would be
great to put this road into condition for
the event The amount that 1t would
be necessary to expend would be at
least $4,000. The supervisors will be
asked to contribute something toward
this, and IL found expedient this course
probably will be put into condition. AL
though no details have been arran ged
for the race it is possible that there
will be two events, one for the medium
priced cars and the other for the high
priced. vehicles. Some talk is current t
around the southern city that Lewis
Strang and Robert Burman will drive
the entries for the Howard automobile
company. suggestion has been made
by southern driver that at the con-
clusion of the races a committee be ap-
pointed to inspect the cars that have
taken part In the events, as is done in
the eastern states, to determine the
condition in which the cars finish the
trial. 1t is hardly probable that such a
committee will be appointed, however,
as the cars OF the present day are SO
built as to withstand the rough roads
and such trials as would be found on
such an endurance contest.

During the strike the police had
much disorder to quell and at far dis
tant points. The problem was solved
by the use of borrowed automobiles.
Indeed the early end of the strike was
attributed In a great measure to the
fact that the police were able to reach
the scenes of disorder so speedily and
in such numbers.
Accordingly the police board deter
mined that the department should have
an automobile complement and placed

BLOOD WAS thin
AFTER AN ATTACK
OF THE GRIP
Tonic Treatment Is Necessary
After the Acute Stage of the
Disease Is Past Before the
Health Can Be Fully
Restored.

| A single attack of the grip may mean
lifetime of misery if proper precau-
| tions are not taken to restore the blood
and drive out the lingering poisons that
cause the SO called ''after-efects' of the
disease.
The grip leaves behind it weakened
vital powers, thin blood, impaired di-
gestion and over-sensitive nerves-a
condition that makes the system an easy
prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheuma-
tism, nervous prostration, and even con-
sumption.
Mrs John Jorissen, of North st. Paul,
Mimi, advises sufferers from the after
effects of the grip to build up their blood
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills. In her
case the pills gave her lasting benefit.
She says:
''Some years ago had a hard attack
of the grip and l was in poor health for
long time. Ny blood was thin and
poor and was as white as a sheet. My
appetite was entirely gone and my stom-
ach was out of order. Ihad severe dizzy
spells in the morning, which so upset
me that I could only drag myself

gan the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
In few weeks could see great i'm

shortly after leaving Topeka for the

that there was for awhile some Ques-
