Park Inn, in the capacity of cook, a

Why so much talking about the
state cutting expenses? Why not
commence at home and cut down the
town taxes; every year they grow
larger. Why, the carting of the
scholars alone cost more or as much
as our district schools used to and
are we getting any better teachers.
Fifty years ago we had a normal
school or Bakersfield teachers and we
could go to the village schools and
there was always way and there
would be today until they are ready
for the high schools. ] believe the
grade children would learn as much
in their district schools as they do at
the village school and the money
thrown away in carting could help fix
up our school buildings and get good
teachers. Teachers would take an
interest to have their scholars better
or as good as other districts sent to
the village school and the little ones
would be saved the long, cold drives.

WORK OF THE BLIND,

The number of blind people in a city is greater than any realize except those who have had occasion to inves- tigate, and the number of residents in that city interested in the happiness and welfare of the blind, intensely, personally interested, is large. Broad ly speaking everyone is interested to learn of happier, more contented and productive lives coming to those thus afflicted.
 When the state took up this matter of instruction of the blind, in their homes, some months ago, The Herald called attention to the opportunities to be given. Now we are interested in the prospect of seeing how the blind people of this city who were moved to take advantage of this chance have enjoyed the work and what they have done. Attention is called to the sale of articles such students under state teacher have made, the sale to be held Thursday of this week at the Besse- Leland store. These students have learned to read with their fingers, to sew, knit, crochet and to make baskets. For some of them undoubtedly a new world has been opened The least the people who are not afflicted by blindness may do is to evince interest in the work of those less fortunate. and to encourage this new work of the state that not only increases the chance of happiness for a class of people greater than is supposed, but also adds to the wealth of the state by adding to the productive ability of it's citizens.

THE ACID TEST.

A man and woman were Joined in the "holy bonds of matrimony" the other day and both wore knicker- bockers during the ceremony. They started on an automobile trip across the continent shortly thereafter.
 This is news, not because a woman was seen wearing knickers but be- cause it is rather unusual for a woman to wear knickers at her we'd ding. So is it for a man to do so for that matter. Were man to appear upon the streets wearing skirts for no reason other than he pre- ferred to do so, this would have been news indeed. If man wore skirts to his wedding the affair would create some rather wild talk. Why, there-

COLLEGE WORK.

Most people, young and old, are
 interested in the attitude of college authorities toward those who become students at such institutions. No may be, there is greater interest in the main work person is expected to do at a school of higher education.
 For this reason there may be satis- faction felt that the football coach of at least one of the great universities has taken a stand against continuing men in athletics who do not devote proper amount of time to their intellectual work. Tad" Jones, coach at Yale, has dropped eleven promising candidates for the university football team because they were behind in their studies, and he has been backed up in this stand by the college publi- cations which reflect undergraduate opinion more accurately than any of the others. The Alumni Weekly and the News both are confident that MT. Jones position will be approved.
 There is another aspect to the mat ter. A man playing on a university athletic team or representing the university in any other way owes a duty to his college to be an honest epresentative. Accentuating athletic prowess, or skill in debate, or musical ability to the exclusion of the main work of the college does not tend to make a man truly representative Mir. Jones' attitude tends to make the institution which he serves more nearly the sort of university all should be.

VISITING NURSE ASSOCIATION.

When there is in a city an organ ization which, in four months of the summer, handles nearly seven thou sand cases of sickness or cases in which expert physical care is needed to save life or prevent suffering, at no cost or a small cost to those helped. that organization has earned the gratitude of the people of the city expression of which must be voiced.
 This is the record of the Visiting Nurse Association for the months of June, July, August and September, according to the report of that organ
 zation just handed in by Miss Baker, and is record that shows increased activity of the organization.
 When it is remembered that the work done by the nurses and others interested in this organization does not cease with the various calls; when 1t is remembered that the dress ing of wound or other injury or giving of temporary relief is only part of the work of these nurses and others, and that the good effects of the various conferences and instruc- tive visits are continuing and lasting, a fuller appreciation of the value of the Visiting Nurse Association may be gained. Should the organization cease to exist today the city would continue to be benefited because it had once been active here. But the organiza ton accomplishes too much good to be allowed to go out of existence and there is no hint that such a thing will happen. Encouragement, fnan- cial and moral would be given, that it's work may be carried on inspired by enthusiasm and consciousness that the work is appreciated.

Athens Stands Firm

Athens, Oct 9. - (By Associate Press) Attempts by reactionaries to make capital out of the loss of Thrace will be met, if necessary by force. it is declared by Col Gonatas, who is still the military distator of the new Greek government.
 Col. Gonatas announced before a meeting of the commercial associa : 1ion of Athens that the army was ready to take severe measures to pro- tect the national safety and assure permanency to the objects of the rev olution.
 The revolution was achieved peace fully" he said but the army is ready to take grave decisions against those who seek to exploit the loss of Thrace by dlscrediting the revolution which came too late to save Thrace. But is (revoution) came early enough to prevent greater disaster. The pretentions of the enemy will not be limited by the line of the Maritza river"
 The Greek members of the cham Der of deputies for Thrace have sent statement to the British press de- claring that if the British people be- lieve the re-entry of the Turks into Europe will assure peace, they are suffering from a lamentable illusion.
 War Is Certain
 The Thracians predict that before many months the British and French mandates for Palestine, Mesopotamia and Syria will be challenged the Egyptian question reopened and the Gallipoli campaign will have been fought over again. They declare that, in avoiding armed conflict today the British are merely postponing the in- evitable and that in the near future they will have to fight under infinitely worse conditions than at present.
 If, nevertheless Greece Is to be stripped of her new territories, says the statement, she ought to be spared the crushing blow of being swamped with 1,3o0,0 refugees. The sigma tories demand that allied troops re- main permanently in Thrace to save the Turkish population from mas sacre or deportation.

GOOD MATERIAL IS
 UNUSUALLY SCARCE
Development of Industrial League Baseball Is Blamed by Scouts

Pittsburgh, Oct. 8-The tremendous development of industrial league and semi professional baseball Is blamed by the scouts of the Pittsburgh Ma tionals for the unusually small num- Der of promising youngsters in the minor leagues this season.
 Pirate sleuths who have been ram paging through the bushes since spring agree that many ball tossers worthy of Class A attention, have preferred to play on the side" while holding down industrial positions. 'I have spent considerable time watching semi-professional league games this year, and I'm about con- vinced that a great many of these players have been making more money than most minor league stars, ' said Tom McNamara. one of the Pittsburgh Ivory Hunters"
 College men, trained in a special line of industrial work step from school into real jobs. A few days later the baseball coach gets on their trail, and s2O0 or $500 a month is tackled onto their income for play ing couple of games a week. Pret- ty soft? Yes? Ee
 Last season scouts noticed that conditions were changing. but they were much more noticeable this sum- mer.
 "The quality of baseball in these leagues has improved wonderfully I saw semi-p pro contests this year which were as we'll played as class A battles, and l saw individual plays in these games that would have done credit to any team in the Big Tent"
 Pirate scouts have pointed out also that the scarcity of real prospects in the organized baseball field has caus- ed club owners to ask sky-high prices for any player attracting major league 
 The moment a scout looks over prospect his cash value increases 100 per cent" said one of the diamond detectives. If two scouts give him the once-over, the price goes up a few thousand If three of us happen to visit that club-good night"

fore. is not the news that woman wore the costume heretofore consid- cred distinctly mans, to her we'd ding, as startling as would be the information that man had worn women's clothing to that solemn cere- mony? Here is the acid test. The wedding ceremony was ex- tremely important, of course, Quite possibly that ceremony was the most important event in the lives of either bride or groom. But they were plan ming to start immediately on long, cross country tour, The idea of a man starting off on such trip handi- capped by skirts, is ridiculous, They would be in his way. They would get soiled when he fixed the car. They would make him deqQedly uncom- fortabe. But the women's knickers, worn by her, would do none of these things. They would afford her added comfort. She would be able to run faster should the couple be attacked by highwaymen and the tires of the car punctured In short her garb was very sensible unless. of course, the trip was to be social affair. If the husband and wife were to travel in the natural way, to live "close to nature" and to rely upon themselves for the most part, the costume of the woman would aid rather than hamper her.
 Persons possessed of common sense feel that knickers for women have withstood the acid test, although there may be a question of taste in- volved in wearing them to ones we'd ding or wedding reception--ether by the bride or the groom. Viewed in this light the man offended quite as much as the woman, if any offense there was.

STUDENTS FIND THE
 TOMB OE ANTIOCHUS
J. Of P. Party Digs Up Records
 Of Christ'S Period

Philadelphia, Oct. 9.-The nearest approach to unearthing contemporary records of Christ was announced yes- terday by Dr. George Byron Gordon, director of the museum of the Uni yersty of Pennsylvania. The ,discov- cry was made by Dr. Clarence Stan ley Fisher director of excavations at Beth Shan, in Palestine.
 The discovery was the burial place of Antiochus, the first cousin of Herod the Great. Antiochus, in all prob- ability, Dr. Gordon asserted, was one of the men charged by Herod with directing the slaughter of the chil- dren in Bethlehem, as narrated by Matthew, in a vain effort to kill the Christchild, who had been described by the Wise Men as the King of the Jews"
 "The interesting part is that the father" Dr. Fisher wrote, "Phallion, was killed in the district during a battle with Pompey, and his son, An tiochus, was supposed to have died here some time later. The discovery of his coffin in our cemetery proved this point beyond doubt. So far as know, this is the first sarcophagus of the Herodian family that has been found"
 Dr. Gordon also announced that Dr. Fisher has found, in deeper levels of occupation, the first known sar- cophagi of the Philistines. Readers of the Bible will recall that they de- feated King Saul on Mount Gilboa, which overshadows the ancient for tress city, and, cutting off his head, hauled his body to the city walls.
 Levels of six cities so far have been found at Beth Shan, Dr. Gordon de- clared, while more are known to be below The site Is said to have been occupied for longer continuous period than any other place of human habitation. It was also the most
 @,o- epc' in the world, since 1t serves as the gateway between ... 1au ,eta mia and Egypt and was necessary to the conquest of Palestine.
