To the Editor OF The Star
In the case OF the Cleland child. who
met with such a sad death, through no
fault Of those in charge Of the home in
which she was cared for, 1 think it just
and proper that this investigation be
conducted by just and reliable gentle
men. and there is no Just reason why
the three men proposed by the reverend
pastor OF st. Patrick's should not be ap-
pointed. AS the complaining parties are
men, 1t is only Just that the committee
be composed Of men. It is only justice
to those sisters in charge as well as to
the public To have reliable men to con.
duct such az Envesf.ca ton.

the state commissioner of horticulture
dealing with date growing in Califor-
MIA. This bulletin is well illustrated
and contains pictures familiar to peo-

hoy orators, this of interest to you.
Teachers, too, will be interested in this.
The first biennial message of Governor
Hiram Johnson before the senate and
assembly January 6, 1918, is also on
file. a most excellent pamphlet, suit
grounds. Ell Centro will have to be
considering this civic matter before
long. Perhaps the topic will engage
the nterest of the Woman's Ten Thou
sand Club. There is another pamphlet
on California highways. which contains
interesting pictures of improvemen
and proposed alterations of the great
California highway; also maps and
charts. This cannot fail to interest
automobile enthusiasts who are think
vacations when a good road and a
good car arc most priced.
