The Return of the "GalIuses"

1t has been reported that well
dressed men are to wear suspenders
again this year" Many have done so
in past pears, yet there has been a
fashion under which many men had
their trousers so fitted to their waist
lines, that the same would remain in
place fairly well without perpendicu-
lar support.
Yet many men that affected the
suspenderless style were constantly
hitching up their pants" in a most
ungraceful manner. Their apparent
fear lest the same should fall off
would contribute an uneasy feeling to
any company.
The man who without regard to the
fads of fashion supports his lower
garments with pair of honest and
well-made suspenders is equipped for
any emergency. Probably the doc.
tors would advise them as the best
method of carrying the weight OF
trousers. The good old-fashioned
girl used to give her best fel-
low a pair of embroidered galluses,
and no more welcome gift was ever
made. The only regret is that the
customs of formal society do not per-
NIT the same to be exhibited to the
populace.

"TN THE SPRING THE
YOUNG MANS FANCY

A local poet felt the urge Of spring
this week and sent us the following
effusion in which he compliments sew
eral of Delta business men, not for,
getting the editor:
There's many things I'd like to have
But yet know l shan't;
do not want them very bad,
Because l know l can't.
I'd like to tog and put on style
Perhaps you think I'm fooling-
And wear that pleasant happy smile
You always see on Duling.
I'm not what you would call crank,
But had just what's right, sir,
I'd be president OF local bank,
And have things just like Sweitzer.
Although I know 1 never can,
Yet still my heart it yearns
To be an Independent" man
Just like our brother Stearns.
But best of all 'twould be treat,
1t Just to me occurs,
To cut and saw and chop up meat
Just like our Johnny KurZ.
Although l know l never can,
I'd full as soon and rather
Be just bright, smart business mai
About like Will H. Mathers.'

Lincoln Street Parents and Teach erS' Assn. CirCulateS Petition

4 petition te be presented to the board pf education asking that a new site h,t purchased and new school be built for tho Lincoln street district, to take the place Of the present build ibs. now out Of date and overcrowded, ua the next step in the building pro rrtm Of the school, was launched last night at a meeting of the Lincoln street school Parents and Teachers association.
 The petition was circulated follow ing the meeting and it is understood that d large number of signatures was secured. It will also be circulated in the district to give those who did not attend the meeting a chance 10 sign.
 Harold l.. Dempsey, principal of the Elihu Burritt Junior High school, spoke to the members Of the associa- ton on the general subject of educa- tion.
 Mir. Dempsey stated that education is becoming more and more important every day. It is so important that the president of the United States issues each year a proclamation calling the people to consider the subject.
 A simple definition of the word "ed- ucation'' given by the speaker was: "Education is the change that takes places in the boy or girl from day 10 dsy.'
 He enumerated several influences or agencies which tend 10 aid oduca- ton a great deal These are the home and parents, the church. the children of the neighborhood. the school and the community.
 In regard to the home he said that a great deal depends on whether ar not the child is receiving proper food. Is clothed properly and is getting OK srcise. mental as we'll as physical. Each Of these. if neglected. has the wrong effect on the child. so that iht change is not quite SO desirable, he said.
 Tn regard 10 the church he said that this is the agency whereby the child receives moral training but this is of no avail unless the child has an opportunity to make use of the things taught in the church. He should learn 10 do through doing

take. The work in in. primary schools is the sar1e all over, but by the time the child reaches the Junior high school and begins to think about what he shall choose for his life work, there are many branches of school work open to him. He has plenty of time in which to decide for himself what he likes best to do.
 The last agency which Mr Demp- sey talked about was the community Ne Slid that the community is one Of the greatest agencies for determining whether the change in the child shall be forward or backward The child is brought ID in tho school 10 live up to his social responsibilities. If the city and community are doing the right things II means that the child.

when he leaves school will progress.
 One hindrancc to progress is the agency that fights for lower costs in everything, said the speaker. II is to toe remembered that every cent spent 10 help the child move forward is cent well spent When the tax on property goes up one or two mills so that the people can get what they want there is no objection.
 He spoke of the need for a new school in the Lincoln street district and urged the people 10 carry on their own propaganda so that the en- tire city may join with the community and SO thnt a new school may be forthcoming.

ciatc and play with children who will help the forward growth was also emphasized.
 In speaking Of the schools and teachers Mir. Dempsey stated that conditions have changed greatly in the past century, One hundred years ago, he said, the first training school for teachers was started. At that time none Of the teachers in the little red school houses" had been properly trained for their jobs. There WAS one course open to the children and no others. Tho child received a college training course and was forced 10 take it because Of the fact that no others were available

FIND HUGE IRON
ORE DEPOSITS IN
SAN DIEGO CO.

San Diego County looms large as
a substantial figure in iron ore
production fields if recent assays
of deposits found by j. A. Tregel-
les near Lakeside are correct.
Mr.. Tregelles discovered apparent
lly a mountain of iron while pro-
specting for gold in the Lakeside
locality. b. f. Stanwood, mining
engineer who has been consulted,
confirms the quality of the speci-
mens, saying that one contained
PIGS per cent of magnetic iron
without sulphur Or other refractory
metals. s& es.t .~
Prospects of huge smelling plants
,nd steel works which would double
the present population of San Die
Igo are being discussed and plans
Iare being considered for forming
Ia syndicate through the San Diego
EChamber of Commerce.
The two men expect to handle
the mining development themselves
without the aid of outside capital
Recently deposits were found near
Tecate just over the international
lime in Mexico, by Tregelles and
Standwood and claims filed. The
nearest large deposits of iron ore
are in Utah and mineralogists are
surprised by the recent discoveries
in San Diego County.

SUES DISTRICT
FOR $4O,50O in
ROW OVER DITCH

Suit for damages Of $40,500 and
a permanent injunction restraining
the Imperial Irrigation District
from maintaining Il portion of the
Rose drainage canal ON her land
southeast of Brawley, was filed in
the superior court this morning by
Mrs. Ella r. Farley.
In her complaint, the plaintiff
alleges that without her consent,
the Irrigation District in May of
this year, constructed ditch
through her property for distance
of one mile, the ditch being 200
feet wide and 80 feet in depth,
thereby rendering the area con
tanned therein worthless to her, for
which she asks damages of $1,000.
AS Il result of the ditch contain
ing water, she alleges the adjacent
land has become damaged for a
depth of from 10 to 20 feet, for
which $4,000 damages are asked.
While the ditch was in course of
construction, workmen are alleged
to have spoiled three acres of al
falfa, and the damage is estimated
at 5000. AS the property is divid-
ed by the ditch, the plaintiff main
tains that ingress and egress be
tween the sections has been inter
fered with, thereby reducing the
value of the property, and dam
ages of $4,000 are asked.
Stephen Monteleone of Los An
geles is attorney for Mrs. Farley.

by Griffith that ranchers living
only two miles south of Calipatria
have been forced to travel approx
imately 15 miles to get into the city,

in the vicinity have been rendered
impossible by reason of their flood

Phonograph Records
In connection with library, one
usually thinks of nothing but books,
with pictures perhaps as a second
thought, but to find a library which
is almost as well stocked with Vic
trola records as with books is indeed
unusual.
"We have added $50 new records
to our collection this summer said
Miss Boman in telling about the
music department. She then went
on to say that records of bird songs,
whistling, folk dance music, and
story telling records for the primary
grades were now available.
Another musical novelty record
is one which gives short solos by
various instruments of the orches-
ira, and explaining what each one
is. In connection with this, chart
is used to show the young listeners
just what the instrument producing
each sound looks like. The children
are then taught to recognize the
various instruments without the aid
of the chart.
In addition to these novelties,
many standard records of vocal and
orchestral reproductions of the great
modern musicians and artists com
plete the collection.

Cigarettes Prove
Undoing of 15-Yr.
Old Adventurers

Dom smoke cigarettes, " might
be used as tip by underaged run
away boys, if they wish to keep
away from the law, for the nicotine
tubes were responsible for Vernon
Stewart and Vincent Bonham of Los
Angeles being arrested by the city
police and confined in Jail, pending
information from their parents as
to what shall be done with them.
Saturday afternoon Mrs. A. w.
Swanson, county probation officer,
noticed the boys sitting on the curb
on Main street, smoking cigarettes.
She spoke to them shout smoking
and further inquiry developed the
tale that they had "run away from
home at Boulder, Colorado. " Mrs.
Swanson reported the case to the
city police and Officer Deaton
brought the boys to the police sta
tion.
The Youngsters caves their names
as Jim Vernon Turner and Joe Louis
Turner, and claimed to be brothers.
Unfortunately for them, they did
not do sufficient calculating and
gave birth dates too near together
to uphold the claims of fraternal
relationship. They stoutly main
tanned the truth of their story how
ever, and even gave descriptions of
Boulder, Colorado. Notebooks with
various Los Angeles addresses, found
on their persons, could not shake
their story.
Upon their arrival at the juvenile
department in the county Jail, the
runaways gave their true names
and admitted they had come from
Los Angeles. Dissatisfaction with
the decision of their parents as to
the particular school they must at
tend, was given as the reason for
their departure into the big world.
Sheriff Gillett telegraphed the
parents of the youths yesterday and
is holding the boys pending a reply.
