interpreting them and their effect in
the light of German history.
He urged the necessity for american
boys to do some work which should be
productive, stating that there were too
many boys in the city and not enough
on the farm. He said that boys should
undertake to produce something, and
that thing well, instead of making 1T
their business to secure by trade or
exchange goods produced by someone
else. He spoke highly In favor of
agricultural and industrial training
Referring to the existing high cost of
living in this country he said that the
United States paid higher prices Tor
the necessities than any other nation
today save Sweden. He said that the
strenuous American life demanded
strong bodies and that the boys of the
vacation school had enjoyed gym
nasium and plunge privileges sadly
needed by the Germans.

TIRE TROUBLE IS
CAUSE OF DELAY
AutoistS Supposed Lost on the
Way to San Diego Are
Heard From
MESSAGE FROM 0CEANSlDE
M. A. Pauly and Mother Report
Their Final Arrival at the
Southern Town
MESSAGE FROM oCEANsIDE

Automobile troubles of several kinds
encountered by M. A. Pauly and his
mother on their way to San Diego in
their touring car, which delayed them
several days, caused an Associated
Press dispatch to be sent out of San
Diego yesterday, reporting their failure
to arrive there and fears felt that they
had met with some accident. Inquiry
at the Pauly home, 1412 South Grand
avenue, this city, revealed the fact that
the travellers had been heard from at
Oceanside, where they arrived several
days behind their schedule.
In the mountainous country near
Temecula the travellers had much tire
trouble with their big seven passenger
automobile. Other breakdoWns added
to the delay They reached Oceanside
Thursday evening and at once sent the
following message to Mrs. A. r. Pan
zer, Mr.. Pauly's sister:
Had hard time-could not have been
harder-getting to Oceanside."
According to Mrs. Panzer, who, with
her husband. also lives at 1912 South
Grand avenue, the delay since Sunday
morning in reaching Oceanside, was
due mostly to bad tires. Mrs. Panzer
said:
"Mr Pauly carried a heavy load Of
supplies for his mine in lower Califor-
mia, and as the tires on the machine
were known to be weak before he
started, that undoubtedly was the
principal cause of their long delay in
the mountains"
without a doubt" interrupted Mr..
Panzer, 81 told them that they were
foolish to start with those tires"
Before receiving the message Mrs.
Panzer was much alarmed and asked
assistance from the police in searching
for them. Preparations were being
made at San Diego to send out a
searching part.
Mr.. Pauly is a man of means, and at
the present time is developing mine
| in Lower California near Jacalitos.
Both he and his mother reside in Eau
Claire, Wis, but for the last ten years
they have visited Los Angeles often,
and for the last three years Mr. Pauly
has been interested In the mine IN

EXHIBIT BRAIN POWER

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Aug. 26.-Can
dogs think? Did Charles Muller's
hounds know that he is a sausage man,
and is that why they howled so loud
and disturbed the neighbors?
The good people of Stratford are puz-
zling over that question today, and
the hounds are silent behind the stout
bars of the town pound Muller works
at a sausage factory in Bridgeport and
lives upon farm in Stratford. Neigh
bors had been disturbed nightly by the
mournful baying of number of dogs.
Believing that they were doing both the
dogs and themselves a good turn, they
appealed to Sheriff Charles Stagg of
Stratford to visit the farm of the
sausage man.
The sheriff made trip to the farm
today and found a number Of dogs, in
cluding several which were not regis
tered. These he took in charge and
placed in the pound. The animals at
once ceased giving vent to sounds of
distress and showed every evidence of
pleasure at becoming wards of the
