AOY GOODRICH BACK FRON b|C
 COAST MEETING

That there will be no radical changes in the Red Cross was the statement made yesterday by Roy $. Goodrich, member of the advisory council of the Pacific division, who has just returned from the coast.
 Mir. Goodrich said that he had a number of improvements in mind, but that until a conference had been held with local chapter authorities, he did not wish to give any pub licity to the contemplated changes.
 He familiarized himself with every department of work while in San Francisco, the division chairman go- ing over the different branches with him. The matter of policy was freely discussed by the council and MT. Goodrich gained a knowledge of Red Cross conditions that will be of inn mense benefit applied to the local chapter.

Price changes were in keeping with this iexehibition of lassitude, until the last hour when the list was at highest levels on demand for rails and active steels.
 The few exceptions to the early stag nation included General Motors, which reacted points. Twin City Rapid Transit, which dropped points on the reduced dividend.
 Rails were at a standstill most of the day but that division proved respon- sible to a moderate demand later. Union Pacific and Reading rallying easily.

bOIDO TRIAL |S
 SET; MARCH 28

Dr. Rosa Boido will be tried on March 2S on the charge of performing an illegal operation. The case was set for trial yesterday by Judge Stanford after overruling the demurrer to the information filed in court by w. L. Barnum, counsel for the defense.
 The demurrer was brought on the grounds that the information does not substantially conform to the require ments as to Section 1886 of the Penal Code in that it fails to directly charge any offense and it fails to give the particular circumstances of the offense charged the same being necessary to constitute complete offense.
 That the information charges more than one offense and that the facts stated in the information do not con- stitute an offense."
 Judge Barnum did not argue the de- murrer and the courts ruled on the matter at once. Dr. Boido then entered a plea of not guilty.

 He stated that Chaplain Horine of the 15Sth was particularly popular with the boys and spoke in admira- ton of the chaplain's work in the hospital.

Maximum weight of parcels in other zones has been increased to 50 pounds. The combined length and girth meas urement, AS inches, was not changed.
 According to postal officials, the order is intended to render the parcel post more usable in marketing farm products, thereby facilitating conserva- tion and distribution of food.

We heard nothing of their antiquities. and little of the ruins.

So Milan has never been bothered since as other border towns of Italy have been both cred by air raiders. The days we spent in Milan were like days in a modern American industrial city-say Toledo, or St. Paul. or Detroit. or Kansas City.
 Turin is similarly modern and indus trial, though not so beautiful as Milan In Turin We saw the scene of the riot the "grosser rebellion" which our car abinieri friend told us about.

 When we arrived at Milan we found there waiting for us a note from the Gilded Youth, whom we had met com ing over on the boat from America. And it brought back our everlasting love affair. 1t is curious how that love ar fair kept projecting itself into the consciousness of two middle-aged men who reasonably may be supposed 10 have Dassed out of the zone of true romance. But the memory of the hazel eyes of the Gilded Youth as he gazed at the pretty face of the young nurse there in the moonlight at Landrecourt, with such exaltation and joy, kept bob bing back into our minds as we saw other lovers in other lands married and single. crossing our paths. And there was the Young Doctor. diffident and reticent. who had his heart set on the girl. and the contest furnished us with a deathless theme for speculation. And here at Milan came this letter

And he was in a training camp near Paris We wondered how many times during his training he would slip across the sky to Landrecourt to visit his true love. The Ope-hOrse buggy had been the only lovers chariot known to Henry and me. and we remembered how a red wheeled cart used to lay out the neighbors in the heroic days of the nineties.

The Germans know that poverty is a curse Co % nation. and during the past generation they have done much to alleviate it And in alleviating poverty they have kept their poor docile; and they go into battle feeling that they have something to fight for. In the allied countries too often we have let thc devil take the hndermost.

In order to equal this condition in the Pierce 4Shorse power engine with it's 412X5l2 cylinder. the company found that it would be necessary to use Vaive inches dl- ameter with a lift of s inches. This is as high a lift as it is possible to use and retain reasonable quiet valve action with large diameter valves. This size of valve is of course. prohibitive because of noise due to the heavy i spring pressure required, and the ten | dency to warp out of shape. The stan dard practice is not to exceed with i single valves, a throat diameter half the cylinder bore-this would give a valve 2A inches diameter for 4S-horse- power engine. This is practically. the size the company has been using in the past for this engine. The company did all that it could to obtain more power from this engine with this size of valve but without success. and then decided to try double inlet and double exhaust valves in this same sized en- zine.
