We have dealt with physical exam

creation, both in and out of the build
ing, viz: volley ball, indoor base ball,
basket ball, athletics, group games.
Eymnastic games, wrestling, boxing.
swimming. foot ball, base ball, hiking
and camping.
To secure social value as well as to
popularize the work in the community,
frequent demonstrations of the var
ious phases of the physical activities
have been given, including the fifth
annual circus; the National Hexathlon
Athletic Meet ladies' nights, foot ball,
basket ball and volley ball games.
Activities rightly conducted are So
cial-physical. Many class, group and
club dinners have been held, locally,
and for visiting groups and teams and
one club of High school boys organized.
The dominant objective of the ply
steal department is in harmony with
that of tho association, which is to
develop efficient Christian manhood.
In cooperation with this policy, an ad
eGuate program for personal work,
thru interviews, took place at the close
of each physical examination. Fre-
quent talks by laymen and ministers
and the director to groups, Doth In and
out of tho building have been made.
Miscellaneous work includes service
in the general religious activities of the
association and summer camps.
The extension work program must be
the outgrowth of strong internal

Some objection was raised months
ago. when onc-man cars were first
mentioned in the city, because such
vehicles would eliminate the services
OF one cmployc to each car.
This feature is met in large meas
urc by the ability OF the company to
put on more small cars. and thus
render. more frequent service to pat
rons, Mr.. Rabcr stated.
There is a possibility of shortening
schedules in the near future" he add
ed, since. taking the Flrmount Park
line as an example cars that formerly
ran TO the end OF the line will only go
as far as Twcnty-fourth street and
Grand avenue. Passengers from that
point to the loop on Cheyenne avenue
will be carried by the onc-man cars.
This means a shorter run for the largo
cars, and a more frequent schedule
may be worked out later"

ever practical. has been made auto

Interstate Commerce COn,mis-

Reductions on Many Staple
Commodities.

The announcement came out from
Washington last night that reduc-
tion of freight rates now applying to
several important commodities vir-
tually had been agreed upon by the
interstate commerce commission. The
reductions will affect many OF the
vital interests of the valley, particu
larly vegetables and melons, and are
believed to be the same cuts an
nounced few weeks ago. but not con.
firmed by the commission.
A horizontal reduction OF all freight
charges will not be made but the
rates will be cut on commodities
which play Il big part in the continued
high cost OF living in Il greater pOr
'tion of the country. The cut rates
will apply on all grains, lumber, coal,
vegetables, hay and citrus fruits.
A detailed statement of the new
rates and the territory to which they
apply vii lbe made as soon as the
railroad rate clerks can prepare the
data, after the confirmation by the

Of the law generally throughout
Southern California, and particularly
in that section Of the state lying
along the Mexican bordre, will be
called upon to enforce the Federal
prohibition laws. according to the an
nouncement made this morning by
State Prohibition Director Mitchell
Mitchell is in Southern California
surveying the field, and he came down
firm his office in San Francisco for
the express purpose, he says, Of call
ing the attention of each and every
peace officer to the nature of the oath
he took when he assumed his duties,
in which is embodied a pledge 20 up
hold the constitution of the Unietd
States.
The Eighteenth amendment, Mr.
Mitchell said. is now a part of that
Every officer, therefore,
is sworn to enforce the laws based on
that amendment.
The fact that California twice hass
rejected proposed state laws provid-
ing for the enforcement of the Fed
eral prohibition laws by state peace
officers makes no difference, Mr..
Mitchell asserted.
Instead of the whole burden OF pro-
hibition enforcement falling on the
Federal officials provided for in con
nection with the enactment of the
Volstead act, it in fact falls on the
state officials. and the Federal force
is an auxiliary one, said Mitchell.
This announcement marks Il com
plete reversal of the hitherto accept
ed theory that the state officers We're
the auxiliaries and that in states
where no provision was made for CO
operation with the Federal officers by

Yesterday Mitchell conferred with
Sheriff Traeger in Los Angeles and
Chief of Police Jones and advanced
his views in this regard. He said that
he intended to get into touch with all
the officers of the nine Southern Cal
ifornia counties on the same subject
before returning to San Francisco.
Early in the coming week he will
be down here to talk to Sheriff Ap-
plestill and Chief Of Pclieo Matlock.
Recently the sheriff of one of the
southern counties wrote to Mitchell
complaining about the prevalence OF
bootlegging, and asking that some
thing be done. The sheriff received
in reply tart note calling his atten
ton to the. oath he took to uphold
the federal constitution when he be
came sheriff,
The official attitude revealed by
the sheriff's letter was largely re
sronsible for Mitchells trip south to
confer with all the peace officers il
