PAVING SENTIMENT
IS MUCH CONFUSED
Petitions For and Against
Vetoed Ordinance To Be
Given To Council

When the members of the city
council meet and Monday evening one
OF the items of business on their cal.
endar will he reconsideration of the
sewer and paving ordinances vetoed
by Mayor Tiger.
What will be the action taken is
difficult to forecast. There was at
first an unmistakable disposition on
the part Of the members to pass them
over the mayors veto. But since the
veto diversity of sentiment has de.
veloped among the property holders
who will be primarily benefited and
affected. 1t IL understood that sever
al petitions are to be presented to
the council part of which will ask
for the adoption of the measures and
others win demonstrate against them.
II Is probable the wembers of the
council will be guided largely by the
desires of the property owners.

LEAGUE DAY IN LONDON

America may have none of the
League Of Nations, but Europe seems
to be developing greater interest in 1t.
That, at least, is the impression con.
veyed by dispatch from London. tell
Ing OF preparations for League day
TO be celebrated on June 25.
There is TO be a big mass meeting
In Hyde Park, with prominent speak
ers on a dozen platforms. AT the two
leading platforms" says the dispatch,
"the archbishop OF Canterbury and
Lord Robert Cecil will preside, while
at the other 10 platforms G. N Barnes,
labor leader, three Church of England
bishops. Lord Eustace Percy. General
Sir Frederick Maurice and other lead.
ing representatives of all parties and
churches will be chairmen.
There VIII be professions to Hyde
Park from all parts OF London. There
Is also to be an international plat.
form. with speakers from all over the
world, and there are to be bands play.
ing, pageants. national dances and
massed chOirs of thousands of voices"
The London demonstration 1t is ex.
planned, " intended to be a prelude
to others throughout Great Britain,
France. italy and other European
countries belonging tothe league.
Evidently there are good many
people across the water who are de.
termined to make the league go, re.
gardless OF what the United States
may do. The spirit shown at such
demonstrations will be better index
TO popular European sentiment re-
garding the league than anything that
has yet occurred, and they will be
watched with corresponding interest
by Americans.

THE FARMER HAS NOT STRUCK

Do you remember the talk of q
farmers strike" last fall? The farm
ers were going to stop production food
because they were not paid enough
Tor 1t to cover the cost and give them
decent profit. They said so them.
selves. and the public feared a serious
shortage this year.
Well, consider the latest reports of
the wheat crop. Wheat is the coun.
try's biggest and most important food
crop. The agricultural department
forecasts combined spring and win
ter production OF 800, 100000 bushels.
which is almost exactly the average
OF the last five years and $4,000, 900
bushels more than last years output.
Nature has not been unusually liberal,
either. The farmers have done 1t
themselves, planting over 100000
acres more than they did a year ago.
There may he Industrial strikes, but
there are no farmers strikes. The
farmer may grumble, but he stays on
the job, making full use of his capital
and labor.
II this fine example OF continued ef.
fort under difficulty and discourage.
nfent were only followed by the capi-
talists and workers in other lines of
production!

What has become Of the calico gown
That was worn by our mothers in

And the gingham sunbonnet, starch.

That was tied in bow knot, right

And what has become of the safe

With a square heel and toe, and the
thick stockings too2
That were always concealed from

When on Sunday we'd go, in the old

To the old fashioned meeting house

And the old style religion, in words

That was taught by the men of an old
fashioned strain,
Who were honest and earnest,
straight forward and true,
Who believed in their teachings and
practised them too.
Oh the old fashioned folks and the
old fashioned days,
They have all been replaced by the
new tangled ways,
But tho time and new styles may for

Have them with us, in memory they

SUBMARINE CREW
 DISPLAY COURAGE
Devotion to Duty Is Shown by Navy Men During Ac-
 cident at San Pedro.

SAN PEDRO, Cal, Nov. 18.-Re- sourcefuness and devotion to duty of the officers and men of the Unit ed States navy were again empha. sized here recently with the raising of the submarine R-6, which sank in s feet of water in San Pedro har bor September 26, drowning two of her crew.
 After several unsuccessful attempts to blow the water out of the su- merged vessel by air pressure, two submersible electric pumps were add ed to the air pumps already em- ployed, and the auxiliary ballast tanks were blown free from water by air remaining in the ships air tanks. After seven hours pumping the bow came to the surface. But the stern was still resting on the bottom, being inclined at an angle of 9 degrees. All the water from the forward ran aft, leaving the for ward pumps without any suction, and the boat was sinking again
 At this point three men volun ! teerod to enter the Re through her coming tower. to tighten her by blow ing the water and ol out of the after fuel tank, and then endeavol to move the forward electric pump aft The men, in diving suits, man aged to get the pump aft, only tc have it short-circuited by water. Tho boat continued to sink.
 As a last resort the U. & s. Alert a tender, and the tug Cardinal were anchored to the stern of the R-6, ant as pumping continued the submarine was soon clear of the bottom. ShS was then pumped from within, ant the reclamation work at once begun
 Heroism displayed by members O the R-6 crew, all of whom at one time worked PC hours without re lief is we'll as in sub-sea living, was praised by naval officers.

KNITTING WAVE
 STARTS THINGS
Spindle and Yarn Mills in Philadelphia Now Work
 ing Full Time.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 1S.-The knitting wave among women and girls has set the spindles and yarn mills in every section of the city working day and night.
 Many spinners have orders to keep them busy for some time to come. As a result thousands of workers will not have to worry about the coming winter.
 But on top of this an appeal of the Red Cross to the knitters to take up again the needle to make sweaters, comfortables, jackets and pulse warmers for distribution to the needy will cause a demand for millions more pounds of woolen yarns. This holds true not for Philadelphia alone, but also all over the United States.
 And while the cost of knitting is small to each person in the aggre- gate it means millions. And as long as the demand continues workers will be kept busy at the mills.

The Vic. toria will sail on her first trip from Seattle on November 30, going via the outside passage to Cordova thence to Valdez, LaTouehe and Sew ard, then returning to Cordova and going to Seattle again via the out side passage.
 The new schedule will only give Juneau two steamers to the West ward for the next two or three months, according to present sched- ule, the Northwestern and the Ad- miral Watson.

 The Alameda will also have new boilers placed aboard weighing 160 tons. These boilers are now in Sc. attle, having arrived several weeks ago from the Atlantic Coast.
