A CAUSE CELEBRE.

FITS TIE trial of the Mcnamara brothers at Los Angeles, beginning
next Wednesday. on charges of destroying by dynamite the
Office building of the Los Angeles Times. with a loss Of
twenty one lives, will engage national attention. The to men are
also accused of completely in other dynamite outrages against the
properties of structural concerns which had difficulties with the In
ternatioral Association of Bridge and Structural Iron Workers.
The arrest of the McNamaras was effected in an irregular way and IT
gave some color TO the charge that the accusation was trumped up
to DESTROY the organization with which the McNamaras were con.
nected. without regard to the possible evidence in the case labor
organizations throughout the country came 10 their support and
contributed HE money for their defense in the belief in their limo
cence of the awful crime charged. The wide publicity given to the
case aud the ability of The counsel employed in The defense are
guarantees enough that convictions will be had only if guilt Is
proven beyond any reasonable doubt. 1t is now up to the prosecn
ton To produce the evidence to establish the fact of guilt

While, generally speaking, human
nature cannot be changed, let US hope.

SCHOOL SANTA TON
Secretary Dixon Of State Board Of
Health Says
$4,000 CHILDREN REMOVED
From School Annually Advises Changes in
Ventilation

Fifty thousand American school
children are annually removed from
school on account of physical inability
10 continue work Careful investiga-
ton in this and other countries has
showed this effect to be due largely
to conditions existing in many OF our
school houses, such as poor ventila-
ton, improper lighting, uneven tenn
perature, unsuitable seats, etc. That
these conditions have been the cause
and are today causing the indisposi-
tons of general depression, lassitude,
headache, dizziness, lowering OF re-
sistance to disease, and a consequent
contraction of the more serious mala-
dies, as, pneumonia, tuberculosis,
bronchitis, influenza, curvature OF the
spine, near-sightedness, etc, is an adj
mitted fact; and the knowledge that
thirty per cent of all school children
are suffering from diseases OF the eye
should be sufficient to direct the in
quiry OF every parent, to say nothing
OF every school official into the con-
dition surrounding his child. In as
much as the years of early school life
are the formative period of the tissues
OF the eye, it is imperative that money
and attention be given to the end OF
proper lighting in our schools. Ere
| quent absence from school due TO
colds, and other sicknesses could be
eliminated, were ventilation more Ell
fectual, were reliable systems OF ven
tilaton installed, instead of the COM
mon dependence upon open windows.
The experience of the Michigan
State Board OF Health in investigat-
| ing the school houses OF this state
shows that, while during vacation
time, some Improvements are made
/ to overcome the worst conditions, yet
these improvements are only too apt
1 to be makc-shit and inadequate The
health of school children demands a
more lively recognition OF their needs
pure air, supplied at the rate of not
less than thirty cubic feet per minute
! for each occupant OF the room; ade-
quate lighting from the left side, or
! left side and rear. OF the room; ad-
Unstable seats TO suit the needs pecu-
liar to each pupil clean, well-venti-
lated toilets.
The immense sums of money in
vested in school property, the eco
uomic value of every school child
urge the best management of the

nance of the most effectual means not
only Of preserving but of building up

AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY

industry is hardly appreciated by
those who are rot in touch with it.
The announcement was made in the

Packard Company of Detroit has al

three and a half millions; that they
employ 1000 men The 1912 business
is only beginning The Packard Com
pany is only one of about 25 factories

RETURNED MONDAY
Victor Shepard and Family Spent Six
Weeks In West
VISITED FORMER ALMAITES
Report Most Enjoyable Trip From Start to
Finish

Mr.. and Mrs. Victor Shepard and
Miss Juno returned to Alma Monday
morning after most pleasant and in
teresting trip through the west.
On leaving Chicago the trio went
direct to Yellowstone Park where they
spent six days viewing some OF ma
ture's grandest scenes and marvellous
wonders From there they went to
Box Elder, Montana, and visited the
families OF Lou Convis and Ben But
ton They found the Alma people in
the best of health, in cozy little homes
and with splendid crops on their
farms The town of Box Elder does
not as yet boast a depot but has a
good hotel, modern in every respect
and one of the cleanest to be found
anywhere.
The next stop was made at Seattle,
where they were the guests of Robert
Murker and family and spent one
day in Elma with Geo Taylor At
I Aberdeen they visited a whaling sta
tiOn and saw a whale so feet long
being cut up for oil and whalebone.
Taking the Shasta route to Sacra-
mcuto they inspected the state CAPT
tol one of the best capitol buildings
i'm the country. The magnificent dome
Is inlaid with gold and on the spacious
grounds is a tree from every country
on the globe and every state in the
Union
In San Francisco, the Cliff House,
Chinatown and all places of interest
were visited. Then came the beauti-
| full coast route to Los Angeles and
ON to Pasadena where they were en-
tertained by Mr. and Mrs. John Fatty.
On the homeward trip they visited
Pasadena, the beautiful Salt Lake
City, Maniton and Colorado Springs
From Pixies Peak they brought home
copy of the Pixies Peak Daily
News, a newspaper published on the
summit of the mountain at the high
est elevation. \ short stop was made
at Denver and the party arrived in
Chicago in time to see the big aero
plane exhibit held last week
They found conditions throughout
the west very promising and living
about on an average with Michigan
Butter and eggs are the same price
we pay during the winter, while wheat
and meat is cheaper Many OF the
western towns and cities with their
clean, wide streets, beautiful grounds
and elegant buildings would put to
shame some of our older cities.

lar and the Shepard family is one that
is proud OF their country, its diversi-
fed scenery and most of all, its
charming people to be met every

DROWNED NEAR RIVERDALE.

The community was shocked on
Tuesday morning when news was re-
ceived of the accidental drowning of
little Julia, the 14-months-old daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Fisk, who
reside northwest of this place. The
little one had toddled out of the house
while her mothers back was turned
for a moment and had fallen into a
pail filled with slops and when found
was passed all recovery. The mother
seized the child from the pail and
ran to a nearby neighbor, who inn
mediately 'phoned to DR.. Highfeld.
In the meantime all means available
to resuscitate the child were applied,
but without results and when the
physician arrived, life was extinct.
Julia was the only daughter of the
bereaved parents who have the SYM
pathy of the entire community The
funeral will be held today.-Riverdale
