lice of Berkeley, told woman's
vigilantes committee today. Among
other things he said:
do not let a solicitor, peddler or
beggar into your home. If he asks
for money he is not safe; he is dan
gerous. Call policeman. Turn
solicitors out. They are after the
women to get their names oh the

do not need.
when you pull down the shades

home you put sure sign for the
burglar that you are out. Leave at
least one light burning and the
shades up. Tell your neighbors. -"
The women discussed tying tin
pans on the doors and windows,

a woman expecting burglar for two
or three years and he never came, .
but were undecided as to what
action they would take other than
that they all agreed to report all

c. ALBERTSON'S PHILOSOPHY

Bring out your dollars; now is the
time when the hidden treasures of
this country should be uncovered
and put to beneficial service.
If you have money in your sock,
get the old thing out, take the money
out and forever burn the old rag and
keep the money in circulation. What
purpose can be served with these
millions Of dollars hidden away?
Bring them to light; get them to cir
culating if you will help to relieve
the present crisis. Put someone on
their feet again; restore the conf
dence of the people; bring back to
you your money with interest; in
other words cast thy bread upon the
waters and it shall return to you not
many days hence. T.

HOW DEATH VALLEY
RECEIVED ITS NAME

The valley received it's sinister
name from the fact that in 1850 a
party of gold-seekers with their fam
lilies made one-day camp in the
valley and less than half of them
survived, the remainer being over
come by heat and thirst. A few es-
capped over the Panamints to the
bountiful California plains; the
others returned to the east. Ten
years later a party of prospectors
came across the camp with its
wagons and chains, yokes, camp
equipment and children's toys; even
the tracks made in the sand by the
little ones could still be traced.

that 1t would result in an increased efficiency

VISIT THE BARGAIN BASEMENT
My Reply to the Union; | Want
to Manage My Own Business

Having been attacked thru the press by local
union 100, reply thru the press. l have been
in the restaurant business in Blackfoot for the
past ten years and when the cooks and walters
organized I early Joined the organization and
submitted to their management. They tried to
run everything by rule that required different
person to do each kind of work; one to do the
cooking and a waiter, called a yard man, to
bring the goods to him; another to wait on the
customers; another to sweep the floor and so on.
My business did not justify having all these
separate positions to be filled by different per-
sons. I had been accustomed to having people
work for me who would attend to cleaning up
the house and all doing their part towards keep
ing things neat and sanitary. Under the union
rules the waiter would never clean the floor or
sweep an aisle or sweep the place behind the
counter or around the tables no matter what
condition it was in. If I asked the waiter to
clean up the floor or to sweep out he would tell
me that was not his work. I either had to do
it myself or 60 out and hire some one to come
in and do 1t as a separate job. In either case
it was not satisfactory and the house was not
kept in such good condition as under the other
management. The union rules greatly in
creased the operating expense and this expense
had to be passed on to the customer. We had to
make what seemed to me unreasonable charges
and to charge them fixed amount for every
little dab that was brought to the table either
with the original order or as recorder. I was
required to employ only union cooks and any
one who had picked up superficial knowledge
OF cooking could get membership card in the
union whether he was competent to cook or not.
Then he would do nothing but cook whether
the business good or poor The waiter
would do nothing but serve at the tables and
each one had to have helper of some kind l
have had the walters tell me to clean up the
house If / wanted it clean widow with three
children applied to me for job waiting on
tables and employed her, some union man

belonged to the union and then put it
up to her and to me, for her to join the union

DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH
INSPECTING SCHOOL CHILDREN

Miss Edith Countryman, director
of the public health nursing activit-
les for the Idaho tuberculosis asso-
citation, is doing health inspection OF
the school children. Each child will
be inspected individually and a re-
port sent to the parents.
Miss Countryman has charge OF
this work for the state, having en-
tered upon her duties the first of this
year She recently filled position
as state school demonstration nurse
for the State of Iowa.
Blackfoot is receiving this service
for the amount of Christmas seals
that we're sold in 1919 and 1920. If
more seals had been sold we would
have been abe to have had nurse
for a much onger time. The fact
that we have so much contagion in
the schools at present makes the SER
vice very much more valuable to
Blackfoot now. More details of the
work and the nurses methods will
be given soon.

One of the most lovable characters
of the Emergency Hospital Is Aunt
Polly. Although the institution takes
only emergency cases, the rule or the
house has been waived in the case OF
Aunt Polly, and she has been a patient
there for three years.
%The nurses. because of her sweet
ness and lovable character, just adore
her." said the superintendent. "They
doll her up, and play with her. They
make a regular toy of her, and that
kind of stuff. you know"
ENTERTAINs NURSES.
And in return Aunt Polly, although
she is fully ninety years old, sings for
them, recites poetry, and tells them
funny stories. On any afternoon she
can be found sitting in her wheel
chair in the sunparlor, surrouded by
a group of pretty young nurses. They
constitute her regular audience.
And Aunt Polly speaks French, and
likes the heavier reading-the old
French novels preferred. She is very
particular about her personal appear
ance, and 1T is whispered about the
corridors Of the hospital that Aunt
Polly on spec al OCCASIONS wears Il
wig.
If you care to talk to Aunt Polly
about olden times, and when she
was girl" and that sort of thing,
avoid one question. Do not by any
means ask her how old she is. AL
though Aunt Polly will talk by the
hour about Colonial days" and ON
dians," and the zones boys" she will
by no means divulge her age. 1t is
one of the secrets of the institution.
NEVER TELLS HER AGE.
II never tell my age" said the old
lady, who is confined to her bed and
whee!-chair because of senility. "You
know 1 am not an old woman yet
Why, l feel like 1 could get up on
that chair" she said, and dust off the
walls"
When she entered the hospital as
a patient she refused to give her age
and she has kept the secret ever
since.
And Aunt Polly can stay here as
long as she likes" said the superin-
tendent. II don't know how we could
get along without her."

THRILLING CHASE ENDS
WITH ARREST BY POLICE

Following a thrilling chase through
the business section of the city this
afternoon. William II. Chism, twenty
three years old, 495 n street north
west. was captured by Detectives
O'Brien and Alligood and Police
Chauffeur Turnbull. He was seen
emerging from a piano store at
Thirteenth and G streets and some
bystanders exclaimed there he goes"
The detectives gave chase and
when he was about midway on F
street, between Thirteenth and Four
teenth streets, a citizen tackled him
and both fell against a plate glass
window, casing at 1913 + street.
The detectives then closed in on him
and took him into custody. He will
be charged with false pretenses. Ac-
cording to the detectives his scheme
was to go to plano concerns and offer
checks for large sums OF money and
get change.
Detective Alligood. who was wound
ed in a running fight with burglars
two months ago, became so exhausted
after the chase that he had to be sent
to a hospital. He only recently re-
turned to duty. His condition is not
serious.
