The case of the Misses Chang, whose

girls are the most diligent students of

fallen a victim to fudge, but they are

Nothing more is needed to admit
them to equality. social moral, re-
liglous and intellectual, with the girls

Americanized in the biggest sense of
the word. And they will stand in the
very first rank of feminine civilization.

RATES REFORM

NHIEF interest in council proceed
ings today will he centered in tho
- ordinance prepared by the city
attorney fixing telephone rates; and ir
giving square deal to the public
and the companies. There is a popular
demand for equalization of rates. The
slogan of the rates reforners is the
same rates for both companies for the
same service"
Much dissatisfaction has been caused
by the inequality of the arrangement
by which the Sunset company is al
lowed to charge IS per month for main
line residence telephones, and the
Home company 81 per month for main
line residence telephones.
Since there can be no question as to
public and council opinion regarding
advisability of making the rates equal,
the matter that remains to be tlreshed
out is the sum which should be
charged, Public utilities commission S
recommendation is residence rates for
both companies should be established
at $3.50 per month and residence two
party lines 50 per month.
Or the main line residence rates for
both companies might be fixed at 81
per month and the rate COR residence
party line rates less than 50 per month.
In spite of rate difficulties and in
justices telephone service is becoming
more and more popular in Greater Los
Angeles: and the home that has not a
telephone is hardly complete. 1t is tc
be hoped consideration for the genera
welfare will bring about the establish
ment of a just and equal non-discrim-
NATIVE rate which will increase the
popularity Of the telephone service
and thereby help the public as we'll as

All American Chinese Girls Fond of

It is the most popular course in every
feminine boarding school or college,
and while not officially recognized In
the curricula of public schools, 1t is
there just the same.
History knows that Dolly Madison

world talks of raising a statue to her
But all that is known of the discoverer
of fudge is the slight fact that she was

upon the delicious compound, like so
many other invention of great mo-
ment to the world hay been made, in
a casual way.
From another point of view her dis
covery is unique. improvements have
followed upon other inventions; the
basic idea has been expanded and de-
veoped. But the original fudge is
still the best of all. though there have
been countless variants of it,
To mere man it seems that there is
an unconscious ingratitude on the part
of fudge lovers, not at all consistent
with the big-hearted appreciation we
expect from the sex. If there should be
concerted action to discover the girl
who invented the delicacy and to re-
ward her as she deserves, it would be
better than a number of the other
plans which women are agitating.
And as a slight beginning. as an
earnest of the reverence womankind
should feel for fudge and its inventor,
we would suggest that the exclama-
ton, "Oh fudSe!" so common among
co-eds, be dropped altogether or robbed
of its sneering irreverence. After that,

But the vote by which this desired
end was reached is SO significant that
it is well to emphasize it again, al
though the special telegram to the
Union from Chico gave the figures at
the time of the election. The largest
opposition vote was to the city hall

adverse vote was only one in eight.
For street improvements the vote stood

Based upon her vote the population

like those of Sacramento, are far

CANADIAN MARKET

CANADIAN market for American
l goods shows healthy activity; and
~ there is constantly increasing
growth in the volume of trade between
the republic and the dominion. Ac-
eording to figures supplied by the
bureau of statistics for ten months
ending April exports to Canada
amounted to $174,5OO,OOO against $12O-
100000 in the corresponding period of
last year.
To a great extent the increase is ir
manufactures. Coal shows an increase
of S200O,O00; cotton, $2,O000OO; wheat,
15OO.O0O; horses, 100000; agricultural
implements, from s1.50OOO0 to $500 coo;
automobiles, from 81 coo, 900 to $4,000 600.
In the manufacture of machinery,
America is the foremost nation in the
world. American manufacturing su-
premacy is easily proved by the ire
mendous demand for articles of Ameri-
can make. 1t is in order, however, to
inquire why reaping machines, type
writer's, bicycles and automobiles of
American manufacture can be bought
more cheaply in the United Kingdom
and on the European continent than in
the United States?

VACATION

m HE state board of health issues a
warning to vacation trippers.
II Some people return from vacation
reporting no Improvement That is
because they have gone to a place
where the climate is not healthy, or
where the water is not up to the mark,
where there are other conditions pro-
ducing disease; or else they have over
done their vacation-tried to be too
strenuous.
No other state possesses the varied
climate and scenery of California. He
who is brain-fagged may turn for rec
reation to the great eXpanse of sea-
coast or to the high mountains. He
may seek seclusion in the deep woods
of the north. or enjoy the level
stretches of verdant southern country.
But wherever he goes for his weeks
Of pleasure the sojourner must care
fully consider his hygienic surround
ings. Each year are recorded cases
of typhoid and malarial fever, two pre-
ventable diseases contracted in sum

can be laid directly to the lax system
OF caring for the health of those people
who are seeking this very thing. The
source OF water supply, sewage dis
posal, the presence of flies, are ques-
tions which should be taken into con-
sideration by the vacationer.
It is easy to say it is fate's irony
when a seeker for health in the search
for health loses what health he has.
But that is not the true explanation,
which is that the victim has simply
been negligent-has not applied com
mon sense to choice Of surroundings,

IN MEMORIAM

TN TWO great national celebrations
the American republic marks its
II essential difference from all other
nations of the world. on independence

the part taken by all good citizens
in the development of the country
morally and physically, in the up

the graves of civilians and soldiers
alike, and Of remembering all the dear
ones as we'll as all the brave ones
who have made the nation great. ac-
cords to the ereat-heartedness of the
American republic.
All who have worked for the repub-
lie, whether on the field of battle or
in the factory, whether as warriors or
as fathers and mothers of families
toiling against tremendous odds to give
their children a square deal in educa
ton and opportunity, are worthy Of
the honor and remembrance they re-

TREASONABLE GRAFT
