To Permit Bids
The city commission at it's meet
ing Monday night will adopt addi-
tional specifications permitting a
firm to bid on installation of oil
burning engines. 1t is claimed by
the company that the method has
shown that it is possible to burn
crude oil for power at saving
over steam plants. Testimonials
from many cities and local manu-
featuring plant were submitted to
back the claim that the city would
save much money in the operation
of new water plant.

a municipal water plant and also
favoring a complete power plant.

CALL FOR AID MADE
Seeing is believing"


An old adagc and as true rs that
about the proof OF the pudding be-
ing in the eating
So it is with Boy Welfare work
in Bismarck. The 600 Dads" and
Sons who attended the ''Fathcr
and Son Banquet" saw what j. j. NJ.
Macleod is doing for the boys and
believed in the work. Seeing for
them was believing.
Those who have attended the three
events of this kind given in Bis
marck can see the change that is
coming over the boys. Some fine
material has been developed along
all lines of cndeavor. Boys have
played and sung. They have stood
up at the speakers table beside sea-
soned after dinner artists and per-
formed crcditably. In camp and in
the woods and upon the athletic field
the effect Of systematic work among
the boys has told and will make for
better citizenship.
But there were too few Dads" at
who came in several instances were
forced to father three and four
boys-they did it gracously and
willingly for the men who attended
liked the opportunity afforded for
service.
Real Event
1t was u real boys event and the
unfortunate boys who failed to Sc
cure "Dadsv and pcckcd in at the
windows of the High "Gym" looked
like the "feller that needs "a friend"
The banquet accentuated the
need for more adult volunteers who
as Mac" said will sit in with the
boys and lend the influence of their
personality so that the seeds of a
better citizenship can be sown.
The boys and their "dads" gather
ed in the High School Assembly and
after "a few minutes Of warning
up by community singing and
"yclls" everyone was fit for the feed.
Pairing off with their Dads they
marched down into the gymnasium
where long tables were arranged
prcttily decorated with flowers and
twenty-five of the most charming
high school girls with decorated
baskets stood ready to serve them.
1t was 4 pretty s:ght and one long
to be remembered. When DR.. E. p.
Quain, toastmaster of the evening
suggested three cheers and a tiger
for the girls, it came from the heart
and all who aided in serving felt
we'll repaid.
Everybody Sings
Henry Halverson and George
Humphreys started the enthusiasm
by leading the gang" in number
of favorite tunes, then the banquet
prepared by the Methodist ladies
was served. Mrs. =. L. Byrne pre-
sided at the piano for the group
singing.
Rev. Geo. B. Newcomb gave the
invocation. This was followed by
two fine saXophone solos by Archi-
bald McGray, accompanied on the
piano by r. Delzer. An appropriate
reading on Dad was given by Bert
Dunn.
Our Program was the subject of
a brief address by j. J. NJ. Macleod
who is director--ef the Boys Work
in Bismarck. He called for men of
Christian character to aid him in
his work Of training the boys Most

Sacramento, Calf, April 2l.---
Sheriff w. |. Traeger of Los Angeles
expected to confer with Governo,
Friend w. Richardson here today
regarding steps to be taken to Sc
cure the cxtradition Of q woman DE
lievcd to be Mrs. CLARA Phillips, es'
capped "hammer murderess" and hel
male companion said to be Jesse C.
Carson from Tegucigalpa, Honduras
Sheriff Traeger was in San Fran.
cisco yesterday when he was inform
ed Governor Richardson had been
notified by the United States Depart
mcnt of State Of the presence of the
pair together with a woman said to
be Mrs. Carson in Tegucigalpa. The
state department said it's information
came from the American legation
there, and asked if cxtradition of the
woman was desired.
Tbs governors office requested
official notification from the Los
Angeles sheriff that Mrs. Phillips
had been convicted of Staying Mrs
Albert Trcmainc Meadows, 20-year- old
widow, July ~, 1922. Following her
conviction Mrs. Phillips escaped from
the Los Angeles county Jail Decem-
ber 5, last. The woman under sus-
picion at Tegucigalpa is using the

ncction, if any, with her escape.
Officers in Lbs Angeles also said
the eXtradition of Carson would be

ion that Carson is q distant relative
of Mrs. Phillips. = He is believed TO

TRACED MOVEMENTS.
Los Angeles, Cali, April 2l.-In
discussing reports from Sacramento
that Mrs. Clara Phillips and Carson.
wanted here on an arson charge, have
been located in Honduras, Stewart
Flenhanl, county fire warden, in an
interview with the Los Angeles Times
today said he thought he could trace
practically all of the movements of
Mrs. Phillips and Carson since they
vanished from Los Angeles.
The fire warden said he had reason
to believe that Mrs. Phillips and Car
son had been close friends and while
withholding any information as tc
how Mrs. Phillips escaped Jail and
where she concealed herself after
wards the officer declared that on
the night of Dec. 20, PhiHf bs ttave
Carson $4,000 to take to NFs. Phil
lips and the two planned at the time
how the woman and Carson were to
leave the country.
According to Flenham, Carson and
Mrs. Phillips went to New Orleans
about Jan. Is and apparently had
plenty of money. From that city
they went to Vera Cruz, Mexico, and
then to Mexico City. From there,
he declared, Carson wrote to friends
in Los Angeles he had made killing
in oil and land transactions and
mentioned Mrs. Phillips as "a good
pal"
But the government of the United
States was said to have taken
hand in the search and Mrs. Phil
lips and Carson, learning Of this,
fled to Guatemala, then to Salvador
and later to Honduras.

20 PER CENT OF SCHOOL
CHILDREN UNDERFED
Child Health Council Reports
Large Proportion of NAL
nutrition Found.

At least 20 and. according to some
estimates, possibly 33 per cent Of the
school children Of the United States
are suffering from malnutrition, as
general physical acknowledgement is
commonly designated. says the ad-
visory committee on foods and nutri-
ton of the National Child Health
Council in report that will soon be
published by the United States pub
lie health service, which co-operated
in it's preparation.
Malnutrition, continues the report,
is not confined to any one class or
race. in some cities 1t is apparently
as prevalent in the home of the we'll
to-do as in those of persons of more
limited means. The condition is evil
denced not only by weight and
growth records but also by Iistless-
ness, lack of color dullness and
sometimes by restlessness and irri-
liability.
1t is due chiefly to physical defects.
faulty habits or environment. OF
physical defects the most common
are distractions (adenoids. for in
stance) in the nose or throat. which
interfere with breathing, and decayed
teeth, which breed germs and inter-
fere with chewing. When such de-
fects are remedied many children will
develop normally.
Faulty food and health habits are
also important causes of malnutri-
ton. They include too little food.
the wrong kind of food and bad food
habits. whether due to ignorance,
poverty or lack of home discipline
and also faulty posture in standing,
sitting or walking, all of which in
terfere with the normal functioning
of important organs of the body
Such habits can be corrected by
proper eN"""ises. which, however.
should '"fully controlled. as
otherwise may prove harmful.
