Plan Great Parade
for "Raisin" Day

Fresno, Cal. A gigantic parade
eight miles long will inaugurate the
10Th annual Raisin Day celebration at
Fresno, April g. Nearly every com
munity, civic and military organiza-
tion in the rasin district will be repre-
sented in the parade. The unusual
floats being planned will cost over $780,
000 Many handsome trophies are to
be awarded for the best floats and
marching delegations.
One division of this monstrous pa
radesis the 1928 raisin pageant" From
the Garden Of Eden to the Garden of
the SUM-" It was said last year that
not even the great parades of the New
Orleans Mardi Gras, or the Pasadena
Tournament of Roses, surpassed the
grandeur of Raisin Day pageantry. The
parade this year is destined to be even
greater in size and beauty.
The pageant parade in the morning
is only the beginning of big day. In
the afternoon the annual Raisin Day
automobile race will thrill the crowds
at Fresno speedway. This annual
speedway classic brings to Fresno the
worlds most famous racing drivers.
Approximately $4,000 is to be given
in prizes.
And in the evening there will be
dancing in every hotel and dance hall
in Fresno. The queen of Rasin Day
will preside over great ball, which
will be honored by the presence Of
many well known people.
The queen of Raisin Day this year
is Miss Marie Girard, a California
beauty from Delano, Kern county, a
new raisin district.

st. Louis to Have
New Street Lights

st. Louis has just passed an $S,000,-
600 bond issue. Most of this money
will go toward uniform city electric
illumination. The design of the lamp
standard to be used throughout the
streets has been selected and new
wiring installation will be laid imme-
diately for about 10000 of them. The
type of lamp and post has been used
successfully on several of the better
lighted streets of the city. The unit
consists of a post and foundation of
concrete with red granite coloring and
glass and copper fixture for the
light. The globe is made of thirty
two small squares Of prismatic glass.
The change from the usual large glass
globe now used is expected to reduce
the breakage cost, which has averaged
$4,000 annually according to city books.

HIGHER COSTS
CAUSE OF TAXES
Advance in Price Level is
Blamed for Increase in
Taxes in State.
MORE BUILDING WORK

Madison, Wis. The increase of
taxes in Wisconsin can be explained
by "the great advance in the price
level" and by the extension of activity
in highway building and education,
Thomas E. Lyons, chairman of the tax
commission, advises the legislature in
a summary of the state tax system.
His survey shows that in the four
years from 1918 to 1922 taxes increas-
ed 91.5 per cent, from total of 1884,
488,661 to $117,921,738.
''This increase of 91.5 per cent from
1918 to 1922 sharply challenges atten-
tion and requires explanation" Mr..
Lyons said, adding that "this explana-
tion is found in the great advance in
the price level and in the great extern
sion in certain lines of governmental
activity"
172 Per Cent Increase.
The commissioner points out that
according to highway commission re-
port improvements cost $20,081,4 Ala in
1918, increasing to $54,611, $50 in 1922
or 172 per cent. Similar statistics of
expenditures for education prepared
by the state board of education show
ain increase in the cost of schools from
S23 ,25O,256 in 1916 to $685. 1853 in
l920-21. ~.
while all departments of govern
ment have enlarged their activities and
materially increased their cost during
the period in question, these two items
of schools and highways absorb the
greatest proportion Of the increased
cost" Mr.. Lyons said. at should be
borne in mind that these figures re-
iating to schools and highways refer
TO aggregate expenditures and not to
tax levies."
Taxes Are Not Cause.
1t would be erroneous to change
this rapid increase of taxes to the tax
system. All communities must bear
the cost of their own government
tate and local, and the tax system is
merely a means adopted to raise the
necessary amount To the extent that
part of the needed revenue is raised
by one form Of taxation other forms
are correspondingly relieved"
A table was shown pointing out that
Che state retained and used 1876 per
cent of the tax levy in 1914, 10.5 per
cent in 1918 and 11.3 per cent in 1922.
The remainder went to local units for
their use.

FLUNKS DROPPED
AT UNIVERSITY
More Than 200 Students
Left University at End
of Term.
LACK OF APPLICATION

total of 233 students of all classes
were dropped from the College of Let
tiers and Science of the University of
Wisconsin at the end of the first Sc
mester this year, according to figures
announced last week by Dean D. C.
Sellery, after the handling of all cases
had been completed. The chief cause
of failure among these students is
lack of application, he says. This to-
tai represents about per cent of the
4,544 students enrolled in the college
during the semester.
Dean Sellery did not have official
figures of the number dropped in 9TH
er colleges in the university engi-
neering, agriculture, law, medicine,
etc.-but he said that not more than
% students had been dropped by all
the other colleges combined. The to-
tai number dropped by the, entire
university does not exceed 260, or
about per cent of the 1868 students
enrolled, he declared.
Most in Letters and Arts.
'The number dropped in the other
colleges on the campus is nece ssarily
very much smaller than in letters and
science, since students in the other
colleges generally come with definite
goals and preparation. The students
who go to college without any definite
plans naturally enter the college of
letters and science" he said.
In the college out of a total of
1876 juniors and seniors, % were
dropped. Of the 1860 sophomores en-
rolled, At were dropped. Of the 1903
freshmen, 1853 were dropped. Exactly
Al of the freshmen who were dropped
had been in college before and were
back for a second trial; the 119 9th
ers were now students in college for
the first time.
Failed to Attend Glasses.
Administration officials have facili-
ties for making q careful study of the
reasons for failure, and they find that,
in the great majority of cases, the
student who must be dropped got
himself into that condition by failure
to attend classes regularly or to do
VIC AOuIAAS WO1h IONO41SO III us
courses. They are not necessarily dull
students, nor badly prepared students,
for the ill-equipped students are like
ly to work very hard and to receive a
great deal of attention from their in
structors.
Some Lack Preparation.
'Some of those who fail, of course,
have not been well prepared in high
schools; more often the difficulty is
that they have not learned to study
and to apply themselves. Others fail
because they have never learned to
read inteIligently, to think, or to get
the gest Of lectures or readings. Many
have no aim, and just drift along. But
the majority who fail do so because
they refuse, in spite of continuous
prodding, to attend even to the rou-
tine work of the courses"
