FIRST EXTREME
SENTENCE UNDER
SEC. Gas GIVEN

One of the most revolving cases
ever recorded in department one of
superior court was brought to "a
close this morning, when Rosario
Saiz, "a, Mexican, was sentenced to
serve from one year to life in San
Quentin peniteni1ary on a charge
of lewd and lascivious conduct with
nine year old girl, and directions
given that section 645 of the code
be applied in his case. Section 645
calls for sterilization. The penalty
is the first to be imposed in this
county.
In commenting on the case, Judge
Cole said it had been a particular
ly aggravating one in which testi-
mony had been advanced to show
that the convicted man was guilty
of several attacks.
Saiz has wife, Alinda Saiz, and
two children, Rosita, aged three,
and Francisco, one year old. When
lie was asked this morning if he
had anything further to say before
sentence was handed down, he told
the interpreter that he didn t know
what would become of his family
during the time he was in prison.
The convicted Mexican will be
taken to San Quentin to begin his
sentence at once. His wife ad Sis
ters, of whom there are three, were
here today to have a last talk with
him. They Were told by Officers
that this would probably be their
last visit with h1m and they were
instructed to return to Mexico and
never to return to this country.

GOOD PICTURE
AT VALLEY

The program at the Valley the
alter which was presented last night
featured "Thc Dawn of Tomorrow
and will show it again tonight.
Frances Hodgson Burnett S popular
novel "The Dawn of. Tomorrow y,
has been Transferred to the screen
by George Melford as production
which should prove u popular at
traction.
Jacquclinc Logan is appealing and
attractive as a Pollyanna type even
though she misses the wissfulness
of the character. Raymond Gri-
fifth is effectively east as her viva
cious and light-fingered pal, while
in rather idcalistic role David
Terrence does good work as the
millionaire broken in health, who is
/ saved from suicide and who finds
new interest in life in helping the
poor in tho slums.
All through the picture is d strong
note Of optimism. Director Melford
has effectively reproduced the sor-
did atmosphere of the London sluna
| and played up the mclodramatie
angles, providing plenty of action.
| The entire picture holds the inter
est OF the average spectator, giving
him or her Il pleasant hour Of en-
ltertainment.
Tonight is {hc last showing at
the Palace thcater of "The Virgil
MIN, y Owen Wistcr's famous story
of cattle men of Wyoming. There
is much action aud good plot
which puts this picture in the en-.
tertaining class.

A Request Is Made
OF Christmas Mailers
Uncle Sam Announces Postal EN-
ployes Will Eat Christmas
Dinner at Home.

Last year. through the generous CO.
operation of the press, the movies and
other advertising mediums, Christmas
mailers were induced to dispatch their
yuletide presents earlier in the month
than ever before in the history OF the
institution of gift exchanging in the
holiday season.
AS a result the spectacle of the last
minute rush of former years with its
attendant heart-breaking labor on the
part of wearied and nerve-worn store
clerks and postal employees was avoid
ed
This year Postmaster General New
and First Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral John H. Bartlett have determined
to make an even better record and to
Danish for all time the suffering un-
dergone in past years by those engag-
ed in the sale or transportation of
gifts. They hope to make Shop Ear
ly' and Mail Early habit with the
American people
Mailing early does not mean De
cember LIST or before, but if everyone
could get their holiday tokens in the
mail between December 10 and 20 the
postofice could not ask more
Particular attention this year will be
paid to greeting cards. Despite the
success last year it was noted that the
last-minute mail consisted largely OF
cards. Possibly many of them were
returned greetings to friends, heard
from on a previous mail, but overlook
ed on the original Christmas list. I'm
like parcels and letters containing
money orders, cards, of course, can
not well be marked DO not open I'M
It'll Christmas" Therefore it is posi-
bic that the many mailers hold them
until the last to insure delivery on
Christmas eve This class of mailers
this year, however. may find their
cards undelivered until after Christ
mas day.
Believing that the energies OF postal
employees should not be Slapped to the
last degree for any avoidable reason,
and, intent upon securing for them the
same Christmas privileges enjoyed by
others, Postmaster General New asks
the hearty cooperation Of the public.
The last-minute, or zero hour, has
been moved up so that all postal en-
ployes may eat their Christmas din
ners at home. Rural carriers will de
liver no mail at all on Christmas day
and clerks and carriers in the city Of
fees will stop work promptly at noon.

OF great surprise to the brides fam

The marriage was result of a

spent some time in Birmingham at

place at the Baptist church in that
city at $50 O'Clock in the evening in
the presence of a few close friends.

take up the part starting with:

suggested in the lines:

Wrought puzzles out, and riddles told

lore" etc.

oQn Old fashioned
Christmas
Program 4
NsSaRsRA;saNsMa@sMss2p
NslTsN,sas IN aTN.a4sr
By Marjorie Howe Dixon.

A simple fireplace arrangement will
make a pleasant and suitable back
ground for the Christmas program
herein suggested for the school room.
The selections to be read, or acted,
group themselves naturally about the
hearth. Children love to dress up"
and may do'so, for the singing of the
carols, as well as for the acting.
The Christmas carols suggested are
old favorites. Others may be substi-
tuted or added where the teacher finds
it advisable. The program will be
briefly as follows:
/. Christmas music 1T came upon
the midnight clear"
g. Selections from Snow Bound by
Whittier.
8. From "A Christmas Caror' by
Dickens, the scene, Bob Cratchit's
Christmas"
4. "'Twas the Night Before Christ
mas"
5. Christmas music. Holy Night,
Silent Night"
Costumes for the Christmas music
can be similar to those used for the
Dickens sketch. The first verse OF the
old hymn 1T came upon the midnight
clear" is as follows:
1t came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
The angels bending near the earth
Their wondrous story told;
Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heavens all gracious King;
The world in solemn stiffness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Other Christmas songs may be add
ed here or instrumental music.
Snow Bound" a Winter Idyl by
John Greeneaf Whittier should be
appropriately announced. Two small
