 Suppose your daughter goes into business. There is no place in it for women who have not been taught to control themselves, who weep when their work is criticised, who cannot get along with their fellow employees and who lose inter est in their work as soon as it be- comes the daily grind.
 Business disciplines these girls by throwing them out of their jobs or by keeping them at the lowest rung of the ladder. The women who succeed are those who fit themselves into thu office routine, who give the unquestion. ing obedience of soldiers, and who have the grit to put all that is in them into their tasks until they win out by sheer merit.

fatuous enough to believe that the world is going to be especially satin padded for your child's feet, or that she is going to escape the common human lot. You know that she is bound to have sickness, and sorrow, and anxiety, and disappointment.
 You know that she is bound to meet obstacles that she cannot overcome ; that she will encounter wills stronger than her own that she will find those who will ride roughshod over her ten derest feelings. and care no more for breaking her heart than they would a penny bit of glass; that many a time she will have to submit to sheer brute tyranny; that the hour will come when her very salvation will depend upon her ability to stand up and take pun ishmcnt. How is she to do this if you have not taught her self-control if you have not taught her obedience to au- thority; if you have not taught her to do the right thing, irrespective of her feelings, because it is her duty?

INQUEST HELD
In SKELETON
BRAWLEY CASE

Coroner b. +. Lemons, with Dis
trict Attorney Utley, held an in
quest in Brawley this afternoon, to
hear evidence in connection with the
death of Barney Woods, believed to
have been murdered two years ago,
and whose skeleton was unearthed
at Brawley last week.
f. o. Heinrich. expert criminolog-
list, accompanied the officials, and 1t
is through his testimony that the
district attorney will attempt to
prove beyond doubt that the skele-
ton was that of Woods and that he
was murdered.
Among the developments OF the
ease reported at the district attor-
ney's s office today, was the estab-
lishment of the fact that the skele-
ton was that of Woods. The evi-
dence in this connection is support
ed by PARTICLES of the dead man s
clothing which were found III the
grave, these corresponding to the
apparel worn by Woods when he
was last seen alive.
BY measuring portions of the
skeleton, Heinrich has ascertained
that it is that of man over 5C
years of age and about five feet
seven inches III height. .....
,An interesting statement made by
Heinrich following his examination
OF the evidence taken from the
grave, is that hairs taken from the
beard, show that when it was last
clipped, the work was done with 3
pair of scissors, the uneveness IL
the length of the hairs showing that
the work was not that of a skilled
barber. Woods is known to have
followed this practice of trimming
his beard.
Following q verdict by the jury
that the remains are those of Woods
and that he was murdered, the next
step, according 10 the district attor
uey will be to ascertain if possible
who committed the crime. This be
ing the most difficult step, he said
may take a long time, though he
made known his intention of cover
ing every step that may lead to the
identity of the murderer.

Engineer

In q signed statement submitted
to the board of directors of the I'm

emphatic denial that he is the author
of two letters, addressed to j. G.
Allison of Calexico, which appear
in the report of the hearings on the

committee ON irrigation and arid
lands.
The letters appear in Part 5 of

called Exhibit NJ" being on
Page 1874, the other known as :. Ex-
hibit u appearing on Pages l742
and 1743.
Exhibit M dated March 81,
1924, denies any interference on the
part of the Mexican government dur
inc the construction of the Tecolote

Allison, tells of efforts by Mark
Rose to enter into an agreement Tor
water for the east side at the time

i.that | have never discussed this
matter with Mr.. Allison. l disclaim
both directly and Indirectly any
