New York, Feb. IA fierce biz
zard is sweeping the Atlantic coast.
Trains are stalled, wires are down and
street car systems are paralyzed as
far south as Georgia. Off shore many
ships are reported in distress. Seven
inches of snow has fallen here and
more is falling. At Washington there
is six inches of snow and other cities
are buried beneath deep drifts. The
temperature is rising slowly, how
ever, bringing much relief here.
Outside the harbor dozens of craft
are pitching and waiting an oppor-
tunity to enter. Cape Charles, Va,
reported by wireless that life savers
are trying to rescue the crew of the
tramp steamer Katherine Park, which
is ashore there. Another unidentified
vessel in the same vicinity is in dis
tress. The British steamer Tafna is
ashore on the Georgia coast and the
schooner Maria Teel is in distress on
Nantucket Sound
By noon $4,000 men were at work
on the streets, shoveling snow. A
majority were previously unemployed
River men feared an ice block in the
harbor. Navigation is already i'm
peded and no attempt is made to pre-
serve schedules. The New York Cen

in what is one of the most severe

The damage is more than million.
Traffic is impossible and the streets
are nearly deserted. But few trains
are running and no cars on the sub

One Subscription a Day
May Win $1275 Hupmobile
CANDIDATES WHO TURN EVERY DAY THE
CAMPAIGN CERTAIN TO FINISH
LEADERS-ANYONE COULD BUT NO ONE

Candidates who turn in one new
subscription for a year each day dur
ing the contest need not fear that
they will finish far below first place
in the final score. Any candidate who
will take enough interest in the cam
paign to obtain at least that much
every single day is certain to find
her score mount up with leaps and
bounds, for it is not at all likely that
any candidate will keep up her inter-
est throughout and do something each
day.
All Lack Self Confidence.
All the candidates find it hard to
realize they can win $l,275 Hupmo
bile five weeks from tonight, and so
are inclined to get discouraged cas-
lily, and to let many opportunities
slip past them. The candidate who
refuses to be discouraged and who
does something each day during
these few short weeks, will quickly
win the respect and enthusiastic sup
port of hosts who will later become
highly interested in her campaign, al
though at present they are taking but
little interest in the contest.
A Square Deal for All. :.
Candidates who have been nominat-
ed as well as disinterested business
men who have carefully considered
the rules governing this contest, are
agreed that the methods of conduct
ing it are as fair as could possibly be
devised Those who have read over
the paragraph next to the last know
it is absolutely impossible for the
Contest Manager or anyone connect
ed with The Press, or otherwise, to
"tip off" any contestant as to the
number of votes required to win tho
automobile, or give out any reliable
information or advice that would en-
able any candidate to win by the use
of money or any unfair means. No
one can possibly tell how many votes
you will have until after the sealed
envelopes are opened by the Jury of
Awards, when it will be too late for
any other candidate to turn in more
votes. If anyone should pay for SUBJ
scriptions with her own money in or"
der to acquire winning score, she
will be taking risk few business
men would consider wise, for it is i'm
possible -. to know whether enough
votes will be gained this way to fin
ish ahead Of all rivals.
Of course the purpose of the con,
test is practical one, and it is the
desire Of The. Press to take in, as
much money through the contest as

San Bernardino, Feb. 14-The trial
of Supervising Principal Alexander
of the Ontario schools on charges of
untruthfulness, inefficiency and un-
due familiarity with girl students be-
gan before the County Board of Edu-
cation today. The charges were pre-
ferred by the Ontario Parent-Teach-
ers' Association. Girl students and
teachers were witnesses. The fight
around Alexander has stirred On
tario for several weeks, and public

RegistrationBooks
Show Big Increase

According to County Clerk Major
S. Cook the increase of population
of Imperial county since the last reg
istration is between $500 and 10000
or about 70 per cent. Last year the
county registration was close to
$500 and at the present time 2,612
voters have signed the register and
the time is far distant when the books
close. Before the books close for the
general election in October Mr.. Cook
believes that the registration books
will show 1000 qualified voters.

1t is probable before the committees
adjourn this afternoon each will have
formed its permanent organization,
and the lines will be definitely formed
for the campaign.
Clifford Coggins has been appoint

possible, but the total receipts will be
far larger if there are ten contest
ants who secure as many subscrip-
tions as possible in the regular way
than if there are two or three con-
testants only, who are merely bid
ding against each other to see which
one will put up the most money. Can
didates who plan to use their own
money to win will not do much dur
ing the course of the campaign, but
they will scare others out of the con-
test by their talk, and more likely
than not will themselves drop out
when the end of the contest ap,
proaches and they find it impossible
to know how many votes will be re.
quired to win the prize Hupmobile.
The Press wants bona fde contest
ants only, and contestants will max
the campaign success only when
all are given square deal.

tion of the defense that Senator Gore,
who was sued by Mrs. Bessie Bond
for alleged assault, is the victim of
political conspiracy was offered when
the trial was resumed today. The
defense recalled Deputy Sheriff Ezell,
who said he had talked with Thaddeus
Robertson, an important witness for
Mrs. Bond, just before the suit was
filed. He said: "Ezell told me Gore
had double-crossed him, but that his
revenge would be awful sweet" Rob-

THE DlRECTORSHIP OF
 FAIRGROUNDS (By Marquerite Graham)

The duties of the ideal playground director are like those of the ideal teacher, never ending and ever ap parent
 Perhaps to avoid ambiguity a dis cussion of the exact use of the term director would not be out of place. The supervisor of playground work is that person, who like the super visor of schools, superintends in it's entirety the city's playgrounds He it is who with the board of directors, governs and controls all funds, sites, improvements, engaging of directors, and so on. The director who is the city's paid employe, just as the teacher is. is the essential one as far as the children are concerned.
 To my mind any playground of any size, municipal or private, and all playgrounds should have two di- rectors, man and woman. It is not advisable in all localities to segregate the sexes but it is safer and surer to have two directors for any number of children over fifty especially if there are big boys and big girls One man and one woman no matter how competent. can be expected to run a playground alone to the highest and best interests of all concerned.
