 Christian Worried.
 Only once during the ceremony did Christian seem worried about Mrs. Hrading. That was when the minister said:
 We bless Thee for his unshrink- age courage, his stalwart strength. his radiant kindness and gentle mess; for his self forgetting devotion in the cause of Justice. Brotherhood and Peace for the individual nation and the world, in propagation which he sacrified his life

Reapportionment Big Topic
The rcapportionmcnt question will
doubtless prompt numerous meetings
with cvitizens cagea to assure them
selves that their representatives
have taken the fright - stand Oil
this big issue.
Los Angeles senators and assem-
blymcn will undoubtedly receive
hearty admonitions TO stand fast
and demand all the representation
to which that county, under strict
Interpretation of the constitution, is
entitled.
Sentiment in the rural district
will undoubtedly be divided, while
the San Francisco and bay district
legislators will plan further schemes
to defeat the reapportionmont pro
position when it comes up i'll com
mittee or on the floor, following
the recess.
Drastic Motor Legislation
Motor vehicle legislation making
the most radical changes Of any
measures introduced III years, will
undoubtedly secure for every senator
and assemblyman u wealth of free
advice and instruction during the re
cess period.
Bills calling for changes IN the
election laws, particularly one pro
viding for partial return to the
old convention system, should pro
! woke discussion. Measures affecting
branch banking, taxation, fish and
game laws, and all other statewide
bills in which one or more classes OF
California 9 citiZenry are interested,
are certain to be called .forcibly to
the attention of legislative rcprcsen-
tativcs during their month at home.
