PASADENA CALLS UPON
 ARMY AND NAVY TEAMS

The fact that the managers of the Pasadena Rose Carnival were obliged to call on navy versus army team as the stellar football attraction this year is considered the best evidence of the fact that the colleges and uni versailles have been denuded of their best players. In the past the Pasa- dena contest has been between teams of the East and West holding good records for the seasons games played.
 Many followers of football regret the fact that the marine team al Newport. R l., explained by Cupid Black, the former Yale University captain. was not selected to meet the marines from Mare Island at Pasa dena. Blacks team is reputed to be among the strongest organizations in the East and game against the Western stars would have made an excellent contest.

HIKERS NOT TAXED

Thousands of hikers whose week end trips to mountainous trails across San Francisco Bay have become a matter of discussion, as cultivating a preparedness" phisique, are not to be taxed any more by the govern ment for their outing. In fact, it appears to be mistake that they were taxed at all.
 The transbay fare, to usual stop ping places. is about forty cents. Gray heads who for a half score of years had made this weekly contri- button to health, were staggered at the demand for three cents more as a war tax. Some of them had to go home to get it, for pocket lunch and a jacknife are all the equipment the hiker usually carries. Some $1 300 was thus collected when notifications was received that the round trips costing less than sev enty cents were not to be taxed.
 Government officials said that any affidavit, supported by two or more witnesses, and demanding the re turn of three cents, unjustly paid would receive consideration.

NOT IN FAVOR OF THE
 SMALL SWIMMING TANKS

"Bathtub" tanks for swimming meets are not in favor in San Fran cisco. Recently there was some agi- tation in the East to bar tanks that are over 50 feet long, but as most of the San Francisco pools run to much greater length the local rep resentatives of the Amateur Athletic Union are holding out against all circumscriptions. These representa- tives contend that if sprint distanc- es are required the water men and women can swim the width rather than the length of the tank.

ATHLETICS WILL BE CON- LIED IN SPITE OF WAR

Out of the haze of uncertainty following the entry of the nation in to the world war has come the fixed purpose to continue the pastimes and recreative competitions, so far as is compatible with a successful con duct of the conflict, during the en- surfing year This is the conclus- ion reached by a majority of the leading amateur and professional sport governing associations of the country. In this attitude they have the endorsement and assistance of the leading government and service officials from President Wilson down to those in charge of the various military and naval cantonments.
 It has been demonstrated in in numerable ways that sport and ath- letic competition have a permanent and beneficial place in the life of America The stimulus which comes incidental to recreative contests, is now being recognized and apprec- lated as never before The need of it is realized by those who in the past were inclined to view the per iod devoted to sport and exercise as waste of time. The sums collected by sport governing organizations for war and charitable purposes and the individual efforts and sacrifices of those prominent, individually, in var ious branches of sport have raised the game to a higher plane than at any time in the history of the coun- try.

"HintOn's Double" Will Be Attraction Tonight At Palace Theater.

The attraction at the Palace Theater tonight is Frederick Ward, the celebrated Shakespearean star in his first modren role. The pie ture is five-reel piece of mistaken identity and the law. entitled, "Hinton's Double" produced for Pa the by Thanhouser under the di- rection of Ernest Warde, the stars son, with a splendid supporting cast.
 Frederick Warde's work on the screen in King Lear." "The Vicar of Wakefield" and Hinton s Double," is we'll known.
 Mr. Warde really plays three roles. He is Joshua Stevens, a tender-hearted old clerk, and~J. Ev- art Hinton, a get-rich-quick Wall Street operator, and in the latter part, when attempting to escape the police. he so perfectly disguises himself as to be a third person en- tirely.
 J. Evart Hinton, crooked stock broker, is discovered by the police. Forced by the bangs of starvation, Josiah Stevens, Hinton's double, agrees to serve a prison sentence, on the condition that his widowed daughter and her child> receive five hundred dollars month for every month he serves.
 Through his bravery Josiah saves the life of Detective Clancy and is pardoned. The real Hinton, in his attempt to make his get away, throws suspicion on Josiah, knowing that if the police arrested the poor man, they will pay no attention to himself Clancy is forced to arrest Josiah, although he is in love with the daughter. Josiah ,convinces Clancy that he is innocent and the honest detective determines to trap the real crook. The manner in which he does so by means of a scar holds the in terest consistently.
 Especially effective are the scenes in which Hinton sees Broad way and the white lights on the night before he is sentenced to prison and also the photographic tricks by means of which Fredr-

BEING VIOLATED?
Trades Assembly Delegates
Discuss Labor Conditions
at Morgan Park.

The Federated Trades Assembly
last Friday night received the report
of a special committee which had been
instructed to interview employees Of
the steel plant at Morgan Park con-
cerning labor conditions there, and
secure other data in regard to work
standards.
1t was asserted that the day shift
consists of II hours, while 13 consti-
tute the work period at night. The
average week consists OF 81 hours.
That guards employed around the
liant are not provided as war emer-
gency, but that the. practice was in ef-
feet before hostilities began, was an
other statement. In all matters it is
the policy of the Minnesota Steel
company to oppose unionism among
its employees, it was said.
The committee report precipitated
general discussion concerning the
steel industry in this country, during
which several delegates asserted that
movement is on foot in the Penn
sylvania and Alabama districts to or
ganize the workers. Indications are
that this matter will be an important
feature of the convention of the
American Federation of Labor which
will be held June 10 at st. Paul, many
OF the larger city central bodies hav-
ing instructed their delegates to ad-
vocate and support the proposal to
have the A. f. of L. undertake this
organization work.
The local assembly delegates be-
lleve that because the Minnesota
Steel company is engaged on govern
ment contracts, it should be governed
by the Federal regulations providing
for basic eight-hour day.
motion was finally adopted in
structing the secretary to commune
cate with the United States Depart
ment of Labor, inquiring whether the
eight-hour stipulation is not being
violated at Morgan Park.

Chicago Packers Charge Up
Patriotic Contributions To

CHICAGO, May 23.-That the con-

patriotic contributions of the big pack

was proved by an order from the meat
division of the United States food ad-
ministration, reading as follows:
"Subject: War Donations. You are
hereby advised that in making up
your figures on profit and loss on
operations for the periodical reports
required by this division, war dona-
lions (such as Y. M. c. A., Red Cross
gifts, etc., will not be considered as
legitimate charges against income.
Such disbursements must be made out
of dfvIisible profits"
Arn,u Co., Swift & Co., Wilson
& Co., and Nelson Morris & Co. have
all charged their war donations up,
to operating expenses" according to
The Christian Science Monitors
bureau, getting credit for patriotism
and generosity but making the con-
sumer pay the bills. The effect Of
such charging was to increase the net
profits the packers were allowed to
collect under federal profit-fidng
regulations. The donations in two
months of 1918 amounted to 100000.
The elaborate advertising campaign
of Swift & Co. which attempts to
persuade the consumer that the Swift
& Co. 1917 profit of s34,000,000 was
not so big after all, all things consid-
cred, had also been charged to "op-
Grating expenses" This has likewise

When soldiers or sailors use this
rate they must show credentials and
