USED BY POLO
STARS FOR TRAINING

DEL MONTE, Cal, Mar. %. =
Boxing as a regular exercise is con-
sidered one of the best aids to
conditioning in order to play polo,
in the estimation of a number of
prominent polo players who are
here for the playing season with
their stables. According to it's adj
vocates, there is no exercise which
is better adapted for limbering the
muscles, quickening the eye and
improving the wind.
C. Maurice Heckscher, the
Meadowbrook club player, believes
in it to the extent of securing a
boxing partner with whom he puts
on the gloves every day. Matty
Flynn, the eastern middleweight
boxer, is the mar who puts he
poloist through his PAGES.
Samuel F. B. Morse, former Yale
football captain, and Eric Pelley
are two other devOtees of polo who
are eagerly taking up boxing to
condition them for the game.
The Del Monte polo champion
ships are scheduled to begin here
on March 20, to continue to April
49,. At least a half dozen teams
are expected to enter the events,
including several of the well-known
local organizations, which contain
a number of the best polo players
on the Pacific coast.

Cook in 1878, and it vas firmly
entrenched when the first mission
aries arrived from Boston in 1920.
Hawaii had it's first experience
with prohibition over 80 years
ago. when King Kamehameha III
in 1888 issued a decree f%orbidding
the importation of any liquor ex-
cept light wines. What effect, If
any, this edict had is not recorded
in history. but 1t apparently soon
became a dead law.
When Honolulu and the island
of Oahu became dry a year ago by
presidential proclamation, one
brewery and 40 liquor selling es-
adjustments = saloons, wholesale
houses and hotel and club bars =
were closed and approximately 800
men lost their positions. Read
justment was rapid, however, and
the commercial life of the city
scarcely felt the change.

documents were taken and that
they were kept in a political pris-
on. They were informed, they say,
hat it was useless for them to
write letters to the American min
lister, for if they did, the letters
would not leave the hands of the
authorities.
The two delegates of Porto Rico
assert that they protested because
they were not given an opportunity
to be heard by the United States
authorities. that they refused to-
sign deportation papers and that
the police ,officials then called in
two detectives and ordered them
tc sign the papers for the prison
ers. They arrived at Havana Oh
Feb. II and were deported on Feb.
%. Meanwhile, appeals had been
made to Washington in their be-
half by both houses of the Porto
Rican legislature, but the local
authorities received word that the
message was not received in Wash
ington until after the two men had
been released.

That women iH Porto Rico SHOULD
share all rights granted to men un-

house of representatives by Repre-

The womans' league of Porto
Rico, with over $500 members
throughout the island, and which
is working to obtain the vote for
women, is not in favor of the bill,
as it is considered too sweeping
in it's terms. The league fears
that If the vote is given to ignor-
ant and illiterate women through
out the island it will NEAR only
more votes to be controlled by the
politicians.

than for political purposes, and the

MENTS TO PROVIDE JOBS
FOR MANY

SAN FRANCISCO, Mar. 81. =
To relieve unemployment caused
by the discharge of returning sol
diers and sailors, the city or San
Francisco has ordered that these
men be given the preference in
employment on the $14,000.00
projects that the city has on its
program for this year, and If
there is a ready market for the
bonds 1000 men will be given work
on one undertaking alone and 1000
or more on the others.
The outstanding improvements
will be the construction of i'm
portant units of the Hetch-Hetchy
water system, which is being built
to bring water from the high Sier-
ras to the bay region. This calls
for the employment of 1000 men
this year and the expenditure of
$40, 100000. In addition the
building of 100000 worth of
schools and 100000 in street
work has been called for.
The great Hetch-Hetchy project
calls for the construction of a $4,-
600, 900 dam, a 100000 power
house, sc miles of tunnels and a
68-mile pipe line. 1t will require
five years and the expenditure of
SAC, 900 more to complete the
enterprise.
The city is striving hard for a
market for it's bonds in the hope
that the 1000 men will be put to
work in the next few months.
In addition the city is filling all
other positions possible with men
who have left the service. Those
who took the places of soldiers on
the city's payroll r being dis
missed as the men return.

Many people r leaving every

tain, or thereabouts, 80 miles south
of Goldfield, where a discovery nf
four feet, wide, of $4,000 r is
reported. Ubehebe is in Califor-
mia and will soon be the center OF
the universe, according to all re-
ports. The Ubehebe excitement is
not appreciated in Goldfield to it's
fullest extent, although several
have left for there, but the town
may warm up to it later. In Cal
ifornia the district has achieved
fame, not for the first time, be-
cause Ubehebe was famous in the
early days of Goldfield. The ex-
element has reached as far north
as Sacramento and is on its way to

moral and intellectual ways.
Under the control Of the wo-
mans league of Porto Rico the
woman's suffrage movement in the
island has made a considerable adj
vance considering that it has
been in progress only two years.
For many years Porto Rico has
held the usual Latin-American
idea of woman's place in life.
Bills providing for woman suf-
frage were introduced last year in
the legislature, but failed to pass,
while not very strong hopes are
entertained of the bill recently in
troduced, which in any Ease is
thought by the language to be. too
far-reaching. Members of the
league, however, say they are not
discouraged and will continue
their work until the women of
Porto Rico who can read and write
are given the vote to be used for
the moral and social benefit of
the island.
