INTEREST IN A LAW MARSHALL SEES Way
Regarding Attendance in the
City Schools. TIL

Members of the Richmond school
board are in a quandary as to how
the parents of children attending
school will interpret the law recently
enacted by the general assembly
providing that all school children I'M
der the age of IA years are compelled
to go to school, and also those be-
tween 16 and Is years of age, unless
regularly employed. Charles w. Jor-
dan, of the school board, stated this
morning that parents, whenever posi-
Bile would sometimes compel their chill
dren to work or perform some duties
during the regular session of school
in their own business establishments,
but according to the law, these chill
dren would be compelled to attend
school unless regularly employed by
some outside agency or unless they
obtained certificates from the health
board authorizing absence from school
When ever a truancy case is dis
covered, a copy of the law is sent to
the parent of the absent scholar with
a request that such conditions be cor.
rected. Often this action on the part
of the truant officer is sufficient to
bring the tardy pupil back into school,
Mr.. Jordan said.

first ballot. The defense introduced
testimony to show that Wallace struck
Jesse Killing, prosecuting witness, in

defense. An amusing answer was
made to one of. Prosecutor Rollers
questions by Wallace on redirect ex
animation. Wallace was asked il he

replied in the affirmative. What were
the charges made in your divorce
suit?" asked Keller. TWENTY-FIVE dol
lars was the answer.
Killing testified as to the fight be
tween the two and said he was assault
ed without provocation by the defend
ant. He told the court he was struck
with an iron bar or dray pin, causing
a deep scalp wound.
According to his testimony ne was
struck first by Wallace and after the
two had clinched he dragged his op
ponent to the alley, calling for help.

and told how he was first assaulted by
Killing whom he struck with the iroI
bar in self defense.

Bv Which Alien Land Laws
Might Be Thwarted.
(National News Association

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Vice Presi-
dent Marshall, speaking as a lawyer
and not as vice president, today cited
the United States naturalization laws
as a possible means to defeat all anti
alien land laws in California or any
other state. He said: ut might be
worth while &c consider whether if a
land law is passed by California ap-
plicab1e to Japanese aliens exclusively,
such legislation might not open up a
way of appeal on the subject of natur-
alization to the United States supreme
court, and whether if such appeal were
taken the supreme court might not
hold that the Japanese are entitled to
become naturalized citizens and thus
thwart the very purpose CT such an
anti-alien land bill
The lower courts have held that all
Asiatics are not entitled to naturaliza
ton, but the construction of the law
has never been approved by the SUI
preme court. You know it might be
overturned

DENTISTS affected
Those Who Desire to Prac-
tice Must Be Examined.

According to local deiitist, great
er efficiency will be brought about
through the provisions of an act pass
ed by the recent legislature which re-
quires that all dentists in the future
who desire to practice in this state
must appear before board of exam
liners to be appointed in June of this
year and have his qualifications pass
ed upon. The law will not affect those
already practicing.
This act will eliminate a large num-
Der of those not having good uualifi-
cations. The dentist stated this morn
ing that out of the AZ dentist colleges
in the state, seven are not recognized
by the state board of examiners I'M
Ger the law recently passed. Another
feature of the law is the clause ex-
empting dentists in practice from jury

PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Art of Enumeration.
Speaking Is one of those arts which
people seem to think are unnecessary
to study and learn, and the probability
is that most speakers of the kind men,
toned are bissfully unaware of their
inaudibiity, Doubtless their voice re-
sounds comfortably in the empty
spaces of their own chest and head,
and this prevents them from knowing
that it does not penetrate to the audi
tory apparatus of other people.
To be lecturer it is not only neces,
sary to know your subject. but the art
of cnunciation and audible delivery
needs to be learned also. And the
sound of ones voice in ones own ears
is a most misleading guide. Such peo-
pie ought to be trained by being made

large room to somebody teaching them

The Glacial Epochs.

Several times In recent years it has

phere in the isothermal region with
fine dust have markedly diminished

at the earth's surface, 1t seems evil

process must be to reduce the temper
allure of the air L,ar the earth. since
the dust scatters a great amourt of
the solar radiation Thus Il period of
excessive volcanic activity, it long con-
tinued, would produce the thermal

that such a period actually began
shortly before the last ice age and has
continued with diminishing intensity

They Are In a Measure tho Most Use
full Plants In the World.
Probably the grasses are the most
useful plants in the world. 1t may be
that more than half the individual
plants in the world are grasses. 1t Is
a great family of more than $500 spe-
cies, embracing species that are so tiny
that they hardly reach an inch in
height and giant bamboos of the trop
les that sometimes grow to be 100 feet
or more.
Corn is giant grass, and wheat, rye,
oats, barley, rice and sugar cane are
all grasses. Then there are millets,
sorghum. Kaffir corn, broom corn--all
grasses.
The number of species of grasses is
enormous, yet we have adopted into
our system of agriculture but few
sorts. In part that is due to the ease
or difficulty of seeding grasses. Tim,
othy grasA. for example, is so easily
sown and the seed so easily gathered
that it is soonest set Of any and has
become the standard hay grass OF
northern climes.
