DEAD OF ALLIES HONORED WITH
 BIG MEMORIAL
.LASsnciHtnl prrss1

LONDON, Oct. 3.-An international boulevard 100 miles long, stretching from the North Sea to Alsace, is to be the great Britain Bel gian-trench memorial to the dead who have fallen in the present war, according to a British staff officer, who writes to a London newspaper describing the plan, which, he says, has already received the endorsement of the govern ments involved.
 stretching down all that line from Alsace to the Elem fish coast,' he writes, "where for the last two years and more the tide of battle has broken beyond recognition the face of the earth, a sacred road IS to be built. Planted on either side with forests of trees, 1t IS to grow year by year, century by century, into an undying and perpetual monument which nature her self will raise in everlasting commemoration of the war.
 "AlI the devastated villages through which 1t will make its way are to be preserved for all time as they exist today. A veritable street of Pompeii 1t will be, but a street 400 miles long. and a street not of death, but of ever-living mem ory.
 "E,verywhere in the woods at either side the graves and cemeteries of graves of men who have fallen will be scrup- ulously and beautifully pre- served. For miles the forest may stretch without interrup- ton, and then through a break in the trees a ruined village may be seen, a burned church, a broken Calvary, a small white wooden cross. The whole majesty, the whole terror, the whole sacrifice, and the whole abonlnation of war will for all time be kept in monument there for the eyes of all the world and all the future generations to look upon.
 "The sacrilege and the barbarism of the invader will never be forgotten so long as those forests stand, and year by year they will grow in beauty and strength as ma ture builds up this monument to the dead"

WILL TRY OUT
 SCHOOL LAWS

SACRAMENTO. Cal, Sept. 30-De- velopment of education in household economics on scale greater than at present in vogue in California will be possible under the federal and in effect Plans for putting the yari- 0us vocational courses into schools wherever desired are being worked out by Edwin R Snyder, state com missioner of industrial and vocation al education, taking advantage of the sums made available between this year and 1925, by which the state and federal government will pay half the expense of instruction and the high school district the re mainder
 The household economies courses, which will be full-time, day courses, either one year or two years in length, will be divided into two parts, no less than three hours daily being applied to work at school in house hold occupations and not less than three hours to academic work at school. Among other things the course will provide for applied work in home food preparation, home food service, home food preservation, gen eral home sewing, home dress and hat making for children and women, home laundering, home gardening, home nursing, home invalid cooking and housekeeping.
 In addition to English, including child literature, the academic work will include dress and millinery de signing, house planning, interior de sign and decoration, home furnishing, shopping, household sanitation, house. hold chemistry, dietetics, household accounting, personal hygiene and physical training; and if two-year course, it will include citizenship and may include physiology and other subjects.

Any girl or wo- man over fourteen years of age, without regard to scholarship or grade or school she previously has attended will be admitted to these courses, and classes will be limited to twenty pupils.

PRUNING NOW
 RECEIVER OF
 DEFUNCT BANK

After receiving the official report of the secretary of the depositors meeting to the effect that a requisite number of signatures representing more than the required amount. had been affixed to the petition of Adolph Pruning for the permanent receiver ship of the American Bank of Alas ka, Judge Charles E. Bunnell, in open court, signed the order making MT Pruning the permanent receiver of the defunct financial institution, yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock. It was announced at the same time that bond of $15,O0O for MT. Brun ing had been arranged for. In cham bers Judge Bunnell stated that he considered this bond large enough In view of the fact that, after the first dividend is paid to the creditors of the defunct bank, there would rarely if ever be more than that amount in the bank at one time. He further stated that his reason for approving the low bond was an eff fort to keep down the expense of the receiyership.
 The order made by the court yes Lerday naming MT. Pruning as per manent receiver, said nothing of the compensation which the receiver is to get for his work. Out of session later, however, Judge Bun nell stated that MT. Pruning had of fered to do the work for the sum of $250 per month and that he had approved of that amount. It is thought probable, however, that it will take but a few months to wind up the first of the business of the defunct bank and after that time he receiver will probably be paid nominal retaining fee.
 Judge Bunnell has also made an other move in the matter of keeping down the expense of the receiver ship. He considers the present quarters of the bank far too com for the necessities of the receivership, particularly after the present month, consequently smaller and less expensive office quarters will be used.
 Just when the first dividend will be made is still matter of con lecture. It is understood, however, that Receiver Pruning is to make a report to the court within the next day or two, and it is thought that shortly after that time court order for the dividing of the fund on hand among the creditors of the defunct institution will be signed.
