BISHOP is FOLLOWER
OF PRINCE OF PEACE
Prelate Admonishes Priests to
Help Public Schools

NICE, Feb. Bishop Chapon, who
has several times attracted attention
by refusing to follow the militant coun-
sells of some of his colleagues, has pub
lshed a letter to the priests of his dio-
cese, instructing them to cooperate
with public school teachers, instead of
opposing them.
Bishop Chapon says that he would
consider himself a bad bishop, a bad
Christian and a bad citizen if he ex-
cited strife between the teachers, the
cures and the families.
He admonished priests to keep out of
politics and act in accordance with the
evangelical injunction, DO unto others
as you would wish to have them do
unto you"

at the central emergency hospital
According to the story told by Josie
Jensen the sisters were on their way to
work at the Emporium shortly before
y a. M, when at Van Ness avenue and
Market Street they passed a large yell
low car containing three men,
INVITED TO TAKE 4 RIDE
"One of them,' she said, tipped his
hat to us, and l thought at first that 1
recognized in him an acquaintance of
mine. He asked us where we were
going, and on us telling him we were
on our way to work at the Emporium
he told us to step into his machine and
that he would give us ride down. say
ing he was on his way TO the ferry
We were delighted with the offer
and stepped in. but no sooner had we
done so that he turned the machine
around and started speeding away for
Golden Gate park. Both my sister and
myself called on him to stop. but he
and his companions only laughed at us
tlnaIly, seeing there was no help for
II, we flung open the door of the car
and jumped out"

This time was also made in race with
Waterman.
The feature of the aviation meet to-
day was Hamilton's two races with an

visited the famous Cawston ostrich

The Comet and Spring

The belief is general that the close
proximity of Halley's comet has some
thing TO do with this extraordinary
spring. Scientists could probably ex-
plain just what influence the comet has
on the weather, but they would use
technical terms, and SO we shall en-
Tighten the reader ourselves, and when
you have read the explanation you will
be surprised that you never thought Of
it before.
Many years ago the comet conceived
the idea that tour around the sun
would be great sport, so it started out
and on May 18th it will have complet-
ed its journey of 3, 100000, 900 miles and,
having become so accustomed TO travel
ii will begin all over again. Last
month, in the course of its travels, il
saw winter little in the lead. De-
termining TO catch up with it, and in a
friendly spirit only, il shouted "Hello,
Kiddo," and tried TO catch up Win
ter, being wise To the gases that follow
in the wake of a comet, as on the trail
of skunk, decided TO get out of the
country before HALEY and his funny
plaything got too close. Winter got
away and spring came TO take its place.
There isn't anything unreasonable
about this. Anybody can see, now,
why spring is here so early.-Portland
Review.
