that joint social life is impossible. When

American rural community the Americans
go.
That IS why the Chronicle, and, as we
believe, tho Japaneses government. is OPP

more delightful people to meet than the
high class Japanese.
The reason why the alien land bill

many. For example:
California should not take the time

as to do any act that any nation may

SUB-AQUEOUS OPTICS.
How Fishes See Through The Water
Points for Anglers.
CFrom the Westminster Gazettc)

a very interesting lecture was delivered
recently at Fishmongers' Hall, London
Bridge. by DR., Francis Ward, entitled
with Camera Under Water" The lee

this varied In different situations was
entirely question of sub-aqueous optics
The angler could only learn what the fish
could see Of him by placing himself in
the position of the fish. 1t was the
anglers business to keep out of sight and
to do that he must learn the flsh's range
of vision. This varied with the depth of
the fish in the water. Imagine the fish
to be three feet deep, the range of vision.

The Tidings knows of many places

MAYOR ADVOCATES PUBLIC MARKET
AHLANDS EXECUTIVE BROACHED SUBJECT OF PUBLIC MARKET To
CITY FATHERS AT MEETING TUESDAY NIGHT

Among the most important sugges-
tions made at council meeting in
recent years was that of Mayor John
son at the meeting Tuesday evening,
when he urged the necessity of the
city establishing a public market
whereby the producer may sell direct
to the consumer. Mayor Johnson
cited the Medford public market,
which he stated had made good.
The Tidings is in favor of anything
which will lower the burden of the
householder and that will increase
the price paid the producer, if such
a thing can be done. A Tidings rep
resentative interviewed the Allen
Grocery Company OF Medford as re-
CARDS the affect of the market upon
the grocers, and was informed that
if the ordinance governing the mar
ket was enforced, then the market
would not hurt the stores. What
the grocers of Medford object to is
the permitting of men to- sell goods

The Commercial Club Monday
evening took action which it is be-
ieved will solve the question of the
difficulty of meeting the agreement
with the Polytechnic school and will
result in the permanency of the in
stitution.
After considerable discussion it
was decided that there should be two
committees of four each appointed,
one to find deserving young people
who would like to attend the Poly
technic school if they could pay the
tuition after they got to earning, and
the other to find men or women who
would advance the necessary funds
for these scholarships, they to take
notes from the students for the
money, and the notes to be endorsed
by the Commercial Club.
Inasmuch as the club had guaran-
teed fifty scholarships, even though
under misunderstanding as to the
number then actually secured, it was
thought better to try and secure
scholars to take these scholarships

CONTINUE STAR CHAMBER METHODS
CITY COUNCIL PERSISTS IN PASSING BILLS WITHOUT READING OR
OTHER MEANS OF PUBLICITY

The city fathers continue to hold,
apparently, that the citizens have no
rights that the council is compelled
to respect. They again allowed a
large number of bills of which the
citizens have no knowledge, at the
last meeting. After the council had
voted to allow the bills the mayor
had to ask the recorder to pass them
up for his examination, that he
might know what the council was
doing.
OF course if the citizens have no
right to know where their money
goes, except as the council sees fit
to tell them, the Tidings has nothing
more to say in the matter. Until
this fact is legally established, the
Tidings will continue to insist that

The alleged reason for Not reading

the council on Tuesday evening sat

himself.
Thanks, apparently, to the attitude
of the Tidings in the matter, the
finance committee did not quite have

they are very dangerous to the com

ease. The matter was brought up by

Mayor Johnson added his experience
with the rodents at his North Main

good tsbby cat effectual. The coun-
