1856 MINORS in
S. D. ARE TURNED
BACK AT BORDER
San Diego Probation Of
ficer Tells of Splendid
Results

The present agitation by num-
Der Of prominent citizens for the
appointment of a probation officer
to be stationed at the border to
turn back minors unaccompanied by
adults comes as result of the
splendid results achieved by San
Diego in her plight to protect her
young folks from the taint of Tia.
juana
Much force is being brought to
bear by Imperial Valley club wo-
men. church workers, civic organl-
cations and other bodies to have
such an officer named by the board
of supervisors in the campaign that
is being waged locally to abate the
border nuisance.
One OF the sponsors of the move
ment has received long, interesting
letter from Herbert Sallee, chief pro
baton officer at Tiajuana, telling
of the wonderful results noted there
in a single year.
''The officer started to work on
December 10, 1922, and has con-
tinued on the job to date writes
Sallee, ''The reports up to Septem-
Der 80, 1928, indicate that 1855
minors were turned back. We at
tempt to get the names and ad-
dresses of each minor interviewed
if possible. We have blank form
covering name, address, age and GER
tain information which we fill out
in each individual case, wherever
possible.
Work Under Juvenile Court
"We work under the Juvenile
court law If a minor persists in
crossing the border, we contend that
he comes within subdivision II of
section l, juvenile court law, which
reads THAT a person comes under
under the juvenile court act if said
person is leading or from any cause
is in danger of leading an idle, dis
solute or immoral life
ss1 may state that very few of
the, minors are going to Tiaiuana
with the consent and knowledge of
their parents and all that is neces-
sarv is to simply take the names
and addresses and inform them that
they cannot cross. 80 t-."
1--WE are attempting TO inform the
different probation Officers in VA
rioas counties of the fact that eer-
tain minors from their eenpties have
been turned back. This is valuable
because many times wards of the
court in various places are bound to
be among those interviewed.
- 1t occurs to me that with the
interest shown in Imperial county
and with the backing of your dis
trict attorney and Mr.. Swanson,
probation officer, you would be
able to carry out just such work as
we are doing here.'
Approved by Chamber =.
The matter of appointing a local
probation officer has already been
approved by the FL Centro Chamber
of Commerce and was presented to
the INLAND meeting by the Asso-
ciated Chambers Of Commerce on
Friday evening.
AT the recent Riverside meeting
of the Southern California district,
California Federation of Women 8
Clubs resolutions were endorsed urg-
ing the necessity of this movement.
1t. is understood that the matter
will be presented officially to the
board of supervisors at a very early
date.

WAS HE S9e9 SHORT?

On the night OF Saturday, April l4th.
while making an address at Lamm's
Gin. on South Flores street. Herbert
PEARS. candidate on the Stoner Ticket
and self-proclaimcd business man.
said that he had commanded 5000 men
during the war and that there was
not single court-martial in my COM
pany during the war
Mr. PEARS made this statement Just
by way OF proving what he calls his
competence to handle the affairs OF
the fire and police departments.
There is something radically wrong
with the military knowledge or with
the military language OF a man who
will denominatc 5000 men as COM
pany,' 5000 men would about consti-
tutc brigade as the formations were
made up during the war. 1t is not
on record that Mr. PEARS was gen.
eral OF brigade, but all that is a little
matter OF accurate detail that is not
vitality important
Now comes Owen kilday. superin-
tendent OF the City Detective Bureau
OF Criminal Identification who served
i'll the same outfit with Mr.. PEARS dur
ing the war and says:
I'm not running for Office on my
war record and I'm not Dragging about
it. | served in the same outfit with
Herbert PEARS during the war. Neither
of lis saw any service except at Camp
Travis. | carried a Springfield rifle
and PEARS worked at the commiSsary
The only man he had charge OF was
a negro porter
Possibly, some time when Mr.. PEARS
is explaining how he came by the eX-
tensiye business experience he aims
to have had, he will also take The OPP
portunity to explain his personal sys-
tenn OF arithmetic.

TIE OLD CANOE.

Where the rocks are gray and the shore is steep
And And the waters below look dark and deep:
Where the. rugged pine in its lonely pride,
Leans gOOmiy over the murky tide:
Where the reeds and PUSHES are long and lanI
And the weeds grow thick on the winding bank
Where the shadow is heavy the whole day through
There lies at its mooring the old canoe.
The useless paddles are idly dropped
Like sea birds wings that the storm has loppcd
And crossed the railing one DER one
Like the folded hands when life'S work is done
While buSily back and forth between
The spider stretches his Svcry screen,
And the solemn owl with the dull "too-whoo"
Settles down on the side of the old canoe.
The stern half-sunl, in the shiny wave,
RotS slowly away in its living grave
And the green moss creepS DER its dull decay,
Hiding its mouldering dust away
Like the hands that plants DER the tomb II
flower
Or the ivy that nantes the falling tower:
While many a blossom of loveliest hue
Springs up Der the stern of the old canoe.
The currentlcss waters are dead and still
But the twilight wind plays with the boat al viii !:
And laZily in and out again
It floats the length of the rusty chain.
Like the weary march of the hands of TINE
That meet and part at the nOOntidc chime.
And the shore is kissed at each turning anew
By the dripping bow of the old canoe.
Oh, many time with careless hand
| have pushed it away from the pcbbly strand
And padded it down where the stream runs quick.
Where, the whrls are wild and the eddies are
thick.
And laughed as leaned DER the rocking side
And looked below in the broken tide,
10 see that the faces and boats were two.
That were mirrored back from the old canoe.
But now as lean DER the crumbling side
And look below in the sluggish tide.
The face that / see there is graver grown.
And the laugh that | hear has Soberer tone.
And the hands that lent the light Skiff wings
Have grown familiar with sterner things.
But | love TO think of the hours that sped
AS rocked where the whirs their white spray
shed
Ere the blossom waved or the green grass grew
Der the Wondering stern Of the old canoe.

which seems, to have come over the
face of his philosophy. He entered the
realm of elementary wisdom with these
simple and obvious words:
1--WE cannot afford to put our army
and navy at the command OF any for
eign nation or group OF nations and
allow them TO abolish war for us
But Mr. Bryan has arrived at wis
dom's starting place-common sense
probably too late to reap for himself
any of the benefits of his newly dis
played craftsmanship. 1t is not too late,
though, for some OF the men now in the
midst OF their political careers to en-
brace the faith which Mr.. Bryan. in the
irony of experience, has profcssed.
