viii Oldfeld Get
More Fame From
Birthday Poem J

Barney OldneId, the model racing
driver, celebrated his 3Sth birthday on
Friday evening at his Los Angeles
home Mrs. Oldfield invited a number
of the drivers friends TO a party and
Fred Emerson Brooks, author OF the
official poem of the Panama Pacific
exposition, recited the following poem.
OF all the men We see or know.
Who pass us by, who come or go,
Few ever make the world aware
They're on the earth or living there.
How few achieve great things Of note
or get beyOund a chance TO vote
Consider what IL means to own
4 name BY every mortal known.
Some gain their fame in craftsmanship;
Some ride there with the horseman's
whip;
some paint, some carve a noted nameA
Some build or gild their way TO fame.
Some fight their way, some sing their
way.
Some climb by what they write or say
And while We note how few succeed,
We find it's not in birth nor breed
But free life of the country boy
OF meager want ana simpler joy.
Whose sinews grow with outdoor needs,
His courage by heroic deeds;
From such as these all great men
spring.
As Barney did. the Speedway King,
Who won the banner fame unfurled:
The Master Driver Of the World
From every land great drivers come
To win the worlds encOmium-
Great Britain. Germany and France
And Italy have poised the lance:
Daredeviis come with neetest car
To meet the man with the cigar,
But none of them can supersede
our Barney Oldfield, King of speed
They come and so like summer rains,
But Sunshine Barney still remains
With all the records, great and small,
The peerless rider of them all
But one great record he has made
Puts other champions in the shade:
The only champion Of renown
Throughout his life to hold his crown.
What single song records his worthe
The great pacemaker Of the earth
All people know him. near and far,
And cheer for Barneys stub cigar.
They love his grimy. goggled face,
His matchless daring in the race,
But greater than his record mile
Is his great heart and record smile

When Carl Reeves drove a Stude-
baker touring car to the PasO del
Norte entrance and picked up
party of six stOckmen to take them
TO Fort Bliss for the army review,
which was a part OF the convention
program this week. he took the six
men who were allotted by the COM

Getting acquainted. the stOckmen
began talking about automobiles
and IL came out that every man in
the party owned a Studebaker-
Three were from the southern Cali

JOSE CHAVES KILLED
BY INTOXICATED FRIEND

Shortly after eight o'clock Monday
night Jose Maria Chaves was shot
and killed in the back yard OF the
Buffalo Beer hall on the plaza, sup
posedly by Juan Angel of Las Vegas.
Officers have not been able to locate
Angel today. According to d. Macs,
propritor of the saloon, Angel had
been drinking some earlier in the
evening and was Just about to 60
home, when Jose Maria Chaves and
his brother Jose Chaves, entered.
Angel and the two men went to the
bar and drank together. apparently
in friendly spirit Then the three
went TO the back door and went
out.
In very few minutes two shots
were heard and the occupants of the
saloon ran to the door Macs, fear
ing that others would be shot, held
the door and allowed no one to go
out until Marshal Juan c. Baca ar
rived on the scene, 1t was then
found that JoSeMaria Chavos was
dead both shots having passed
through the base of the neck and
one cutting the jugular vein. Jose
Chaves, his brother. had been knock
ed down by a bow on the head,
evidently from a pistol and was Just
coming t." when the marshal came.
The third man, supposedly the SLAYER,
was mis- sing and has not been found

The country is filled with mis-
fits, which are properly classed as
failures. 1t is not strange that such
should be the case when little or no
study has been given to the matter
of choosing vocation. The Child's
choice, often influenced by false
hope OF large pay for little effort
and not by his aptitude for the work,
has placed him in the calling he is
following. Fathers and mothers are
inclined to let their children choose
their life work with little or no ad-
vice, and with no consideration of
the number already following the
line chosen. We must grant that
every mans son has right of choice
but it is our duty to supply him with
the necessary facts concerning him
self, and inform him Of or direct his
attention to the possibilities of his
proposed cndeavor to the end that
his chances of success will be in
creased.

the skillful teacher to vitalize and
illustrate with something from the
home or the community. You may
say that an Illustration from one To-
cality may not fit the conditions OF
another. 1t is safe to suppose how
ever, that a child who has acquired
the habit of being informed on SUBJ
jects pertaining to the welfare of the
community in which he lives will be
just as good a citizen in one commu-
nifty as in another.
Our arithmetic classes that are
taught banking taxes and insurance
without investigating and becoming
familiar with methods employed in
the immediate neighborhood, will
know just as little about these sub
jects and about their practical appli-
cations as does the teacher who at
tempts to teach them. Their lack of
this information is, however, only
their misfortune, while the lack of
giving this information on the part
Of the teacher is little less than a
crime.
Our classes in civics may with pro-
fit learn the preamble of our consti-
tution,' the powers of congress and
the duties of the president, but if the
individuals composing such classes
do not fully realize that upon the
proper discharge of their duties as
citizens depends the future welfare
of the community, the state, and the
nation, we have utterly failed to
grasp the fundamental purpose of
the subject.
