SPEND SUMMER IN MISSOURI.

SPEND SUMMER IN MISSOURI.
Gradually 1t seems to be dawning
on Missourians that our own state has
attractions for the man who has been
in the habit each summer Of packing
his trunk for run up north into the
lake country. These beautyspots
have always existed in Missouri. but
distance has charmed us, and We have
looked beyond to the forests and lakes
Of the North.
Doubtless the coming of the auto
mobile has done much to bring us to
a realization OF the beauties in nature
which are to be found in Missouri.
The auto has enabled the man OF
moderate means to explore the state
at odd times, OF a Sunday with his
family, on holidays. and when he
could spare halliday from his busi-
ness. And close following the auto
mobile has come the agitation for
good roads. Much has been accom-
plished in Missouri in highway I'M
provement in recent years; much is
yet to be done Naturally. better
highways have tempted travel, and
thus they have been the means OF
showing Missouri to Missourians.
The region of the Ozark mountains
offers ideal opportunities to residents
OF Missouri for getting real enjoyment
and recuperation out of the hot sum
mer days. This picture from the ST.
Louis Republic ought to cause the
the charms of his own state to think
two or three times before he buys
his ticket for the lake region Of the
North:
More beautiful than many of the
famed mountain resorts, the OZarlis
present charming vistas of wooded
hills and verdure-clad valleys. offering
every inducement to remain in our
own Missouri rather than take long,
tiresome journeys East. West or North
to resorts with greater reputation. but
less charm than the hills and streams
SO near our homes.
IN the Ozarks are streams whose
attractiveness for the sportsman are
SO many that it seems strange il
should be necessary to recount them.
These lend beauty to a country, the
natural attractions of which cannot
be adequately described. 1t IS an
Iuedl SectlOn LOT vacation resorts. "A
great deal OF it is very fertile, and
practically all of it available for fruit
growing. but there is, too. a large
part of it adapted for vacation farms
and lodges, where people from the
cities may gain health and strength
The altitude of the hills makes the
air pure and bracing. while much OF
the water from the springs is not only
agreeable and refreshing. but possess
es medicinal properties as well.
While those who have summercd
in the Ozarks know of their beauty
and healthfulness, there are many
thousands entirely unaware of the de.
lights of summer spent in the pure
and bracing air of our own mountains,
where the fishing and other sports are
unsurpassed.
Missouri is not so large but that

FOUR THOUSAND ATTEND
MEETING AT LONG BEACH

LONG BEACH, May S.-The exercises
at the auditorium this afternoon in
honor of Mothers day were attended by
1000 people. The principal talks of the
afternoon were: Mothers Day." by
Rev. H. K, Booth, pastor of the Con-
gregational church; 1.-The Mothers of
Today" Rev 0. H. l.. Mason, pastor
of the First Presbyterian church, and
"a Boys Mother" Fred Thomson, the
well known Los Angeles athlete who is
now athletic director of the local Y.
M. c. A.
Rev. Mr.. Mason in his talk on 1.-THE
Mothers of Today" warmly commended
the work of the Parent-Teachers asso-
Citations, which, he said, were mother
like in their plans and work, but he de
clared that women gave too much time
to other clubs and that a change might
be to the benefit of the home.
He said he regretted the fact that so
many families live in apartment houses.
Such living, he declared, tends to de-
stroy the sacredness of home life.
Mrs. M. X. Miller, president of the
Federation of Parent Teachers associa-
tions, submitted a report showing that
many families had been helped through
the agency of the federation and that
for every five blocks in this city there
is member of the association to rem
der quick service wherever needed.
The municipal band furnished music
for the occasion and Mayor Windham
delivered the opening address.

THOUSANDS HONOR
DAY OF MOTHERS
White Carnation, Emblem of
Noble Women, Blooms on
Nearly Every Breast
CHURCHES ALSO OBSERVE 1T
"Hand That Rocks the Cradle"
Is the Theme of Many
Special Sermons
CHURCHES ALSO OBSERVE II

The second celebration in America Of
Mothers day was generally observed
in Los Angeles yesterday by thousands
of people wearing the white carnation,
the emblem of motherhood, and by
special services at the churches in
which motherhood was the subject OF
the sermons. Several of the large
churches devoted their evening services
entirely to the theme of motherhood,
and special seats were reserved for the
mothers of the congregation.
While the observance of the day was
not so large as that of last year. when
a general mass meeting was held, the
day has been thoroughly established,
and throughout the United States in
the future the second Sunday in May
will be a day set apart to honor
mothers. The celebration of the day
was brought about through the efforts
of Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, who
selected for a date the anniversary of
the death of her own mother.
The observance came from an old
English custom Of "mothering Sunday"
in the observance of Lent, when those
away from home sent presents and re-
membranes to their mothers, while
family reunions were the rule of the
day.
In Los Angeles one of the large OBJ
servances was that of the First Metho-
dist church, where DR.. Locke, the pas
tor, preached a special sermon in the
evening, at which old-fashioned hymns
were sung by the choir At the Union
Avenue Methodist church Rev. Will A.
Knighten, the pastor, preached a spe-
cial sermon in the evening, and white
carnations were distributed among the
congregation in token of the day.
At the Fellowship service the day was
also marked with special sermon, and
at the Bethesda Presbyterian church
automobiles and carriages were sent for
many aged mothers that they might be
able to attend the service.
The day was also observed in the
Sunday schools, where special reference
was made to the meaning of the day.

DID HAWLEY FIND ONLY
BURNED BODY OF COAT?
City SIeuth in Poking About Ruins
of Fire Makes Discovery
and Notifies Coroner

Has the morgue got Billy Ford s
goat? Is the charred bit of flesh, dis
by Detective Hawley of the
Los Angeles police department early
yesterday in the smoldering ruins OF
a $4,000 fire at $50 South Anderson
street the remains of billy goat con-
fined in the building? A coroner's in
quest today will lift the veil of mys-
terry that at present shrouds the iden-
tity of Hawley's find.
Hawley was sent from police head
quarters to investigate the cause of a
fire which destroyed barn contain
ing fifty tons of hay late Saturday
only q few minutes when he discov-
cred the burned flesh. 1t was removed
with care to Pierce Brothers under
taking parlors and an autopsy ordered
for today.
The destroyed barn was owned by
B. +. Ford, a drayman. Ford kept a
goat He did not arrive at the scene
OF. the fire until after the coroner's
wagon had paid it's visit. Searching
for the remains of the goat he was
told by persons residing in the neigh
borhood that the body of man had
just been taken out. Ford lost no time
in making his way to police head
quarters and reporting the loss of his
animal. Hawley was indignant that
he had not been notified a goat had
been kept on the premises, else he
would have made a more thorough
examination of his discovery.
Policedom is anxiously awaiting the
result of today's inquest.

SURE THEIR FOOTS|ES
FIT l. HEW|TT'S SHOES
Deputy City Attorneys Scramble
for Job Their Boss Will
Soon Vacate

It isn't likely the city council will
go outside the family to find someone
to take Leslie r. Hewitt's job as city
attorney when he hands in his resig-
nation to become general counsel for
the harbor bureau.
At least it will not have to look out
side the city attorneys department for
applicants who would like to have the
title. The council will not act hastily,
for 1t doesn't propose to appoint some
one who will rattle around in the
place.
Guy w. Eddie, city prosecuting at
torney, seems the man most likely to
be appointed. If the call of duty should
come Eddie's way he wouldn't be likely
to dodge it. The council has great
respect for Eddie. He drew up the new
liquor ordinance and the council thinks
that any one who can frame up a
document of that kind ought to be able
to make a noise like city attorney
John w. Shenk, first assistant city
attorney, is standing around with
lightning rods in both hands with a
please dol" expression on his mobile
countenance. Shenk has Hewitt's in
dorsement as his successor. He has
been closely aSSOCldLtu Will I1GWlll
and knows the workings of the civil
department of the city government
pretty well.
Emmett Wilson, chief deputy city at
torney, thinks a man he knows would
ornament that prospective vacancy to
satisfaction of the public. He is the
man who stands at the right hand of
the minute clerk at the weekly council
sessions and steers the council through
many legal difficulties.
Hewitt's resignation will not go to
the council Tuesday and probably not
for two or three Tuesdays. He said
yesterday that there were several mat
ters in the legal department that he is
now working on that he wants to clear
up before he steps out. Also, although
he was too modest to mention it, the
ordinance creating the position OF ch1ef
counsel of the harbor department has
not been passed by the council, and
when it is passed it will require thirty
days to become effective.

FEAR MISSING MAN IS
SLAIN; $4,000 MOTIVE

Although every patrolman in the Los
Angeles police department has been
furnished with description of Archie
j. Joiner who left his home Saturday
night with $4,000 in his possession, all
efforts to locate him yesterday were
futile and 1t is now thought the man
may have been the victim of foul play,
with robbery as the motive.
Joiner according to the report made
at police headquarters by Mrs. Joiner,
had been in i'll health and had recently
returned from a trip to the mountains.
The trip did not seem to benefit him
and Saturday night he took $4,000 and
rushed out of his home at Fifty-sixth
street and Moneta avenue. He was
last seen in company with three men.
His wife saw him join them, but did
not recognize any of them.
The missing man Is member of the
California Hardware-L Lumber company
with offices at 314-322 West Forty
eighth street. His wife believes he is
suffering from dementia, but cannot
ascribe any cause.

De ROSTER, IN PLUCKY
RIDE, BECOMES CHAMP
Lowers Records on Coliseum
Track--Trims Five Minutes
from 1O0-MiIe Mark

Before large crowd at the Coliseum
track yesterday afternoon Jake De Ro-
sier not only proved himself one of the
gamest motorcycle riders alive today,
but also a worlds champion. De Ro-
sier announced Friday that he was go
ing to get the record Sunday, but no
one thought he would succeed.
De Roster made a new record for
twenty-five miles in the good time of
1928 AS, while the new mark for the
half century was set at 39:131s. At
the fifty-frst mile he had to stop and
refill his gasoline tank and at the
ninety-ninth mile he had to get off and
walk for half a mile, owing to the ex-
haustion of his gasoline. He took six
minutes to walk the half mile, as he
had to push his machine all the way.
In spite of all these obstacles De Ro-
sier reached the finish with the worlds $
record beaten by 5:45 1-5, the former
champion having made it in 80 minutes,
while De Roster made it in S6:14 40.
The meet was held under the santcion
of the F. A. NJ, so the record is Off
cial. The judges of the race were III.
II. Holmes, j. A. W. Gates and e. p.
Blair, while the timers were Messrs.
Roessler, Mitchell and Elbe.

Of the new calendar is the day OF

REFORM, NOT JAIL,
IS JUDGES ADVICE
Willis Says Probation Best Pro-
vision for Suppression of
Crime Ever Made
MANY BECOME GOOD CITIZENS
Only Six Out of 1903 Given Their
Freedom Fail to Obey
Orders

~ am firmly convinced that proba-
tioh, properly applied. is one. of the
best provisions ever made in connec-
tion with the suppression of crime"
seid Judge Willis of the criminal court
yesterday.
s"As one Indication may say that of
los prisoners placed on probation in
my court only six so far have violated
the provisions of their paroles and in
these six instances drink and not de-
sire to do wrong has landed the men in
court again In the instances where
wrongdoers have not violated their pro-
bation most of them are getting along
we'll and have made good citizens OF
themselves.
Il can cite one case where q youth
found guilty of stealing goods from
his employer gave as an excuse that
his employers were purloining goods
from each other by not making an ac-
counting of their sales. The bad ex-
ample set him was one feature of his
defense. / took into consideration that
T this was his first offense and placed
him on probation.
NOW PROSPEROUS
with a little help from his sister
he went into business at another point
and is earning sums as high as $500 a
business his main idea was to clean up
his former record by his honesty and
each month, when he reports to the
probation officer, he comes over and
has little talk with me. He declares
that he cannot imagine what made him
steal from his employers and he Is
strong in his gratitude for a law that
gave him a chance to become an nom
est and prosperous citizen.
Another case, that of q commission
man who was guilty of embezzlement,
but who was placed on probation after
a close investigation into his past To-
day he is a prosperous merchant who
is laying away tidy sums OF money
each month, although he has been en-
gagged in business only since the first
of the year.
"I could give dozens of similar ex-
amples of the good of the probation
law, by which many are able to reform
and do something for themselves. If
it hadn't been for probation these men.
who are now good citizens, would be
languishing uselessly in prison What
good would prison do these men, do
you suppose?
RELIC OF MIDDLE AGES
"The system of capital punishment
for crime existed in the middle ages,
but we find that crime flourished more
then than 1t does now. In the states
where there is no probation law we do
not find that the example of sending
men to prison has any deterring effect
on the breaking of law by others. An
investigation of figures will show
where probation is given there is less
violation of the law.
prison is for those who have shown
by their actions that they do not want
to reform. 1t is not a place to put
men by way of retaliation for their
acts. 1t is where we put men who are
a menace to society in any criminal
form for the protection of the public,
for which the laws are made. If
man is not a menace to society, but
violates the law in some respect and
wants to reform. the probation law
gives him this opportunity and it is a
good law"

"BACK EAST," is L0CKE'S
MOTHERS DAY THEME

At the First Methodist Episcopal
church, DR.. Charles Edward Locke, In
celebration of Mothers day, took for
his subject, Back East; In Remem-
brance of Home and Friends, and
Scenes Far Away" The choir and con-
gregation sang songs of home and
friendship. The large church was
of thy country and from thy father s
house, into land that I will show
thee; and I will make of thee a great
nation. n."-Genesis 12:1-2.
DR.. Locke said in part:
1.-THE moving westward from the be-
ginning has been in response to a
divinely implanted impulse. 1t was
Gods plan for carrying forward his
colossal scheme for inhabiting the
globe and saving mankind.
when God told Abraham to get out
of Chaldea he only emphasized to this
son of paganism what God had innately
placed in the heart of humanity. The
procession of mankind westward con-
tinues in increasing numbers, and thou
sands are daily f1ocking to our shores.
The marvellous growth of the states
west of the Mississippi indicates how
strong is this intuitive trend in the
American mind today. Under the di-
rection of God Abraham moved west
ward and his seed outnumbered the
stars; Americans are moving west
ward and already upon the shores of
the broad and peaceful Pacific God Is
making a great nation
This is a philosophical reason why
we are here; and why, when we think
of our homes and friends of other years,
we must look fondly and sometimes
longingly back east
Tonight we are thinking of the dear
home ties and the loved ones back
east; of father and mother, and of
brothers and sisters; of those to whom
we owe more than to all other people
in the world combined. How grateful
we are for the lofty ideals and the stall
wart truths. and the lessons of loyalty
to the right. and for the unblemished
and exemplary lives of our parents,
all blissful radiations of our homes

STOP H0NORING MYTHS;
MOTHER is REAL SAINT

The Fellowship celebrated Mothers
day in Blanchard hall yesterday. APP
propriate songs were sung, and white
carnations, the emblem of motherhood,
predominated in the floral decorations.
"The White Carnation" was the sub
Ject of the address by Reynold e.
Blight.
''The church is establishing new
calendar. Instead of days in honor of
