to scholars. Almost every day we
see accounts of children run over by
street cars, automobiles and trains.
We also see the results; that is, many
a poor boy minus a leg or an arm. We
always pity him and feel sorry for
him, because he has to go through
life a cripple. Quite often we hear of
children hurt in baseball, football and
other school games. If you could.
save a human life, wouldn't you feel
justly paid for your efforts2 You may
not actually snatch the child from
under the wheels, but you will know
that you have done equivalent in
teaching them Safety First, and there
by equip them in a way to save them
selves. OF course you know there
are state laws and city ordinances
that make it a felony to trespass on
railroad property, hop trains, etc.,
and while in some cases you may find
it necessary to mention this to bring
pressure in obstinate cases, as a
matter of education it would do no
harm for children to be made con-
versant with these laws. / sincerely
hope you will cooperate with me in
this good cause. Yours truly,

The following announcement came
to me by last Saturdays post: "Mrs.
Leila Mary Church announces the
marriage of her daughter, Ruth, to
Lieutenant John O'Brien, Philippine
Scouts United States Army, on Thurs
day the twenty sixth of February,
lluOuO0u uuIuFOu dlu IOuIUcOu, LUIS
Angeles, California" How, speaking
learnedly, tempus fugits! But yester-
day "Joe"-we all called him "Joe,"
for short-was here a boy interested
principally in base ball, with several
youthful side lines to fill in. Now
he'sa lieutenant in the United States
army away off in the Philippines,
and-married! The years which are
passing all too rapidly for me, happily
bring to him the fruition of his dearest
hopes. / am gratified that tits SO, for
"Joe" was always a deserving boy
and his present station in life is but
the reward of that deserving. May
the gods bless and prosper him and
her who has entrusted to him her
future happiness! In connection
with this notwithstanding to
all the older residences of the
Valley-I quote the following from
the Los Angeles Times: ga morning
wedding at st. Paul's Pro- Cathedral,
Dean Mccormick officiating, the
participants being Miss Ruth Church
of Seattle and Lieut.. John O'Brien of
Manila, P. L., wasthe elimination OF
a pretty romance which had it's be-
ginning In the Philippines about a
year ago. Miss Church, a petite
brunette, having striven somewhat
too vigorously for the highest honors
of her class in a we'll known college
for young ladies', had been advised
to take an ocean voyage. Accom-
panied by her mother, a tour of the
Orient was undertaken. Several
members of the party, owning *
extensive plantations on the Island of
Mindanao, planned a side trip and
chartered a coaster to take them.
Mrs. Church and her brilliant daughter
we're also invited to make the trip
with them. The objective point
vas Fort Lebak, where Lieut.. O'Brien
wal in command. Needless to say,
the young officer was delighted to do
the honors of the Post, and so faith
fully did he do the same that his efforts
resulted in an immediate and violent
attack of heart trouble which proved
contagious, and in due time Miss
Church became a victim. 1t was
decided that the case was hopeless
unless the wedding bells were rung,
and Lieut.. O'Brien made application
for leave Of absence "under ex-
ceptional circumstances" arriving
recently in Los Angeles where Miss
Church was spending the winter.
Following the ceremony an elegant
breakfast was served at the Alexan-
dria Hotel, to which Mrs. Church bad
invited a few close friends of both
families. Lieut.. and Mrs. O'Brien
will make their future home in the
Philippines"
