SECRETARY OF Y. M. C. A.
SCORES SUNDAY SCHOOLS

LONG BEACH, July 25.-Peter Han
son, general secretary of the Y. NJ.
c. A. here, has stirred up considerable
discussion as a result of his speech at
the auditorium yesterday in. the course
of which he pointed out a number of
alleged faults in the methods en-
ployed by Sunday schools in handling
the boys. He said that 1.-The Sunday
school does not study the boys ma
ture, the classes have no class life, the
opening exercises are monOtonous and
uninteresting, some teachers do not
command the boys confidence and re-
spect. the Sunday school does not
recognize the boys abilities and holds
them down too severely; in short, the
Sunday school now has more boys in
it's membership than it is entitled to,
considering what it gives them in re-
turn"
Clyde Doyle, manager of the boys
department of the Y. NJ. c. A, said the
church itself made no organized effort
to reach the boys, and that the preach
ing was far above them.

CITIZENS FILE PROTEST
AIMED At ROAD RACE
Make Objection to Use of Public
Streets by Racing Auto
mobiles

SANTA MONICA, July 25-Protests
filed by citizens with the city council
tonight against using the public streets
as race courses are thought by local
automobile men to be directly aimed
at the Santa Monica road race to be
held in September. The petition is
signed by Sherman Page. W. j. Lang
ley. K. Judy, j. T. Lewis, T. o. San
derson and w W. Buckingham.
In making their protest the citizens
challenge the authority of the city
council to convert the city street into
a race course, or to use any municipal
money to exploit a race. Page has
previously taken an active part in op-
posing the Santa Monica road race,
claiming it does the city no good and
only works for the benefit of the pro-
moters at the public's expense. SO
far only those whose names appear on
the protest are known to oppose the
road race, while practically the en-
tire city favors it.
In compliance with the petition of
large number of Santa Monicans, the
council adopted a resolution author
izing the city attorney to arrange with
the Los Angeles water board to OBJ
tain a supply of 400,000,0 600 gallons of
water from the owens river annually
for this city. The present supply of
water is considered inadequate for the
steadily growing population ana the
council was recently asked to make
provision for a larger supply.
The city attorney was instructed to
draw up an ordinance tending to do
away with the smoke nuisance over
which many residents of the south
ern part of the city have complained.
1t is claimed that a number of restau-
rant proprietors use a low grade of
distillate and a large amount of SCOT
is produced, which settles on the neigh
bors houses and clothing, and it is
thought this can be remedied by re-
quiring the burning of a better grade

CONSENT NOT SWORN TO;
MARRIAGE LICENSE REFUSED

SANTA ANA, July 25.-That the
course of true love, proverbially rough,
is so in reality was demonstrated again
today at the court house of this modern
Gretna Green, when Herbert L. Cole
man, a minor, armed with his fathers
written consent to his marriage, was
refused a marriage license. The con-
sent was not sworn to and hence was
no more to the county clerk who acts
as Cupids deputy, than so much worth
less paper.
What makes the unhappy circum-
stance all the more unhappy for young
Coleman is that his consenting father,
who neglected to swear to his willing
ness to his boys marriage, lives tWen-
ty-five miles from a notary public, hav-
ing his habitat in the country back
of Willows, Kern county.
