Great Bowl at Stanford

STADIUM, STANFORD UNI
vERsITY, Calf, NV. q. - ALI
roads seemed to lead toward the
Stanford stadium this afternoon.
Long bfoore the "big game be-
tween California and Stanford was
scheduled to begin, steady stream
of humanity poured into the big
bowl.
The chill Of the morning gave
way to balmy warmth as the sun
broke through the early mist. Ideal
California football weather seemed
certain.
Outside the stadium those without
tickets were making last frantic
attempt to gain admission. Only an
occasional furtive exchange Of
pasteboards from the few spectators
who have managed to secure them
showed n measure Of success.
The California band was on the
field an hour before game time, pa
rading past all the stands. at that
time about half filled, and getting
a resounding roar Of applause as it
halted in front Of the Bear roofing
section. The blue and gold uni
forms Of the musicians stood out
brightly against the green Of the
hard gridiron turf.
The California roofing section
filled up more rapidly than the Car
dinal stands on the opposite side Of
the field. The Bear rootcrs form
ed formed splash of color against
the dull brown of the stands. Their
benches had been painted blue and
the men occupying them were strip
ped OF coats, their white shirts
cleaning against the blue back
ground.
Block &C" Is Hoisted
A block "C', gold on blue, was
hoisted in the rear \of the Bruin
section. II bcllied ont lazily in
the light breeze. The California
band, from a platform directly in
front Of their rooters, entertained
the crowd in competition with u
radio loud speaker which squawkcd
undistinguishable words into the
air.
A greatly enlarged Stanford
band, numbering some l30 music
ians. paraded in from the open end
Of the stadium at 1852. They
marched directly toward the Cali
fornia stands, reversing the route
taken by the Bear band. AS the
Cardinal coated players stepped
along the cinder running track
which circles the gridiron, crashing
out pulse quirkcmng Stanford
tune, they were followed by ap-
plause which reached n climax
when the Stanford rooters joined
them with vocal support.

Blindfolded Candidate
Walks Into Arms of

Perry Cole, e5 years old, go,
more than he bargained for when
he tried to join tho colored lodge of
Elks which was instituted on the
eastside last night. AS a result Of
trying to ride the goat. Cole is to-
day on his way back to Los Ange-
les to face charge OF murder.
Among the Officers Of the Elks
who came from Los Angeles to or
ganize the new lodge. was Lieuten
ant McDuff, eolored officer with
a high reputation in the Los Ange.
les police department.
MeDuff had an opportunity to
look over the candidates presented
by the new lodge, and it did not
take his eagle eye very long to spot
out Cole as man who is wanted
by the Los Angeles police.
Phones To Sheriff
Excusing himself from the lodge
room, the lieutenant tclephoned TIC
sheriff.'s office for assistance. Harc
old Gillett, son Of the sheriff, and
Deputy Sheriff Adkins answering
the call.
When they arrived at the lodge
room, Lieutenant McDuff explained
the circumstances to th}1, and
told them to remain outside the
lodge room until Cole came out to
them.
Following the custom used by
practically all lodges, the candi-
dates were blindfolded during n
portion Of the initiation ceremonies.
Cole, suspecting nothing out Of the
ordinary, submitted to being blind
folded. He was then told to
march straight ahead with his arms
outstretehed.
Walked Into Bracelets
Having been through several
other lodge rituals, this was easy
strYf for Cole, who doubtless real
lied that when one is riding the
goat, the easiest way is to do as
one Is told. SO he proceeded to
do n forward march" and the
course Of his march, steered by
Lieutenant McDuff, led him away
from the rest Of the candidates and
out into the hall.
Here the reception committee Of
Gillett and Adkins were called up
on 10 finish the initiation ceremon-
les started by the Blks. As the
dark hands approached them, Gil.
lett stepped forward with shiny
pair Of police bracelets in his
hands and decorated Coles wrists
with them.
Thought It Was Joke
Still unsuspecting, Cole made no
complaint, taking the officers ac-
tions as part Of the initiation. The
bandage was then removed from
his eyes and he was informed that
he was under arrest.
The sincerity of the officers fail
ed to register with Cole until he
was removed from the lodge hall
and was then taken to the county

Murphy's Store Has
Agency For Freed
Eisemann Radios

Murphys store, on Kinsley aven-
ue, has taken the agency for one
of the large manufacturers of ra-
dios, the Freed-Eisemann company.
The company makes several models
of radios, all of moderate price.
Demonstrations have been made
during the past week, by Mr.. Muir
ply, who is most enthusiastic over
the merit of this machine.
He states that the Freed Else
mann was the machine chosen for
the White House at Washington
and the summer White House, for
the presidents use, after exhaUs-
tive tests had been made by the
radio experts of the navy. Mr.
Murphy says that one of the most
comprehensive and exacting tests
ever attempted in radio was CIV
en- this receiver before it was pro-
nOunced worthy of the Freed-Eise-
mann name. It was taken on a
10000 mile trip around the United
States and Canada, from coast to
coast, and operated under the most
trying conditions possible. Scores
of broadcasting stations were
brought in while on moving trains
and automobiles. Reception was
had even on the summit of Pixies

form OF organization and cOnstitu-
ton and bylaws passed on by at

report to another general meeting
The board is a further step in
the colonization plan proposed by
the Arizona Industrial congress,
and would serve as a central agen-
cy through which settlement eff
forts of new land developments
would be co-ordinated and where
prospective settlers would have the
assurance of obtaining complete
and accurate data covering new
lands in any part of the state. Its
work would be carried on in close

NAVY DAY

OCTOBER 27 has been observed
as Navy day for some years. 1t
is appropriately fixed at that date,
which is the birthday Of Theodore
Roosevelt, whose keen interest in
the navy was one of the features
of his career. Much of the brilliant
done by the navy during the Span
ish war was due to the efficiency
shown by Mr.. Roosevelt as assist
ant secretary of the navy, in mod
ernizing that service.
The navy has played noble part
in American history. The smash
ing victories won by our naval YES
sells had much to do with making
sure of our independence, which
was seriously threatened during the
war of 1872 The great ability of
Americans for naval operations
was shown by both the union and
confederate forces in the civil war,
In the world war the navy play
ed much bigger part than is gen
orally realized. The vast Ameri-
can army could not have been sent
to France without heavy losses had
it not been for the very able work
OF our navy. Also our ships helped
enormously to make the blockadp
of Germany a success, and to cur
sue the submarine fleet which at
one time threatened victory for
Germany
The American people have hopes
that the movements in behalf o.
worII peace which are makins
progress viii be so successful that
the navies of the world can be re-
daced much below their presen'
strength. Bu5 if such reduction
takes places it will have to b.
proportionate all around Mean
while our navy must be maintain
ed at high point of efficiency, anC
young men of the finest education
and character should be encourag
ed to join this force, as an occupa
tion that viii assure them a salts
factory career and the honor o
their fellow countrymen.
The navy has had i'll fortune o
late, through two serious disasters
The spirit of the men Of the navy
is not thereby daunted, for the,
will, as ever, be ready for whateve
service is called for in behalf o
American homes.

II G. PLUMMER, returned with
Globe friends from hunting

having seen fifteen elk near Prom
intory Butte, at the head Of the

consisted of nine COWS, two bulls
and four calves Mr. Plummer
commented on the scarcity of male
elk and expressed the opinion that
they are being clandestinely hunted
and killed for their teeth.
Forest rangers report that about
eighty elk are ranging in the coun-
try above the Rim.
William Scolton and James Arm
strong found three recently slaugh-
tered bull elk above the Rim, from
the carcasses of which only the
ivory teeth had been removed.
Much indignation has been arouns-

ings brought in of elk found by
hunters which had been killed only
for the teeth. The animals are pro-
tected by a year round closed sea-

been sufficient to interfere with

Money has no purchasing pow
er," declares a prominent econ
omist, and explains his theory
thus: There is no law compelling
the acceptance of money in ex-
change for labor, or commodities.
The law simply makes it a legal
tender in payment of debt. Hence
it's value must be measured by its
debt-paying power" The idea is
technically correct, Of course, but
the difference will never be MOTTO
