A Universal
Draft Law

The American Legion will rec
ommend to Congress the passage
of a universal draft law a law
drafting men, material and
wealth, in the event Of war. The
bill favored by the legion would
give to the President of the Unit
ed States the power to stabilize
prices Of commodities, to dratt
men between the ages of ; and
80 years of age, and 20 proclaim
the material resources and indus
trial organizations OF the coun-
try under government control
during an emergency.
In a word, that CONSUMPTION
of men and wealth, and to meet
the emergency of war, it is the
fairest and most economical
course to follow. Consumption OF
men is unpleasant, but it is FAlR.
There will always be those who
will dodge and hide and pretend
in an effort to escape their duty.
Consumption Of wealth smacks
of the socialistic, but if the draft
ing of me mis- fair, then certainly
the drafting of wealth or material
resources is both fair and essen
tial. Life is more important than
wealth. IF we throw a man into
the trenches, demanding his life,
if need be, then certainly the gov
eminent should back him up with
the material resources of the Ma
ton.
The next Congress will not
pass the legion bill, nor will the
next or the next, but in time, ma
tons will conscript wealth as read
lily and as impartially as they do
men.
The wars of the future will be
more deadly than in the past;
they will come more quickly;
there will be less time for prepare
ton, therefore, it is necessary
that every resource of the Nation
be laid at the feet of the Com
mander and Chief of the Army
the Navy and the Air.

What Chance Has a
Clerk in a Store?-

Probably many clerk has
asked himself or herself the ques-
ton What chance have | as a
clerk in store?" Probably the
thought comes that clerking is not
professionalism it means moth
ing NOR ethan the exchange of
merchandise for a price. But the
clerk HAS a profession-one of
the most important of oil profess
sions, and as a clerk opportunity
IS as great as in other lines of en-
deavor.
In the following editorial from
the New York Evening Journal,
the chance of the clerk to know
human beings, to learn business
methods, to become independent
and rich is shown:
Hundreds of the future rich
powerful and useful men of this
are working now as clerks in stores.
Thousands of young women that
Ii future will be independent well
equipped, able to take care of
themselves, are working in the
stores side by side with the.young
men.
The boys and girls of this coun-
try should realize that Che mod.
ern stree is the modern business col
lege.
What man or woman needs to
advance in the world and succeed
in business is supplied by conscien-
tious work in the well-managed
store.
To succeed you must know your
fellow man. You see them and
study them in the STORE as YOU
can do nowhere else.
Their weaknesses are displayed.
their curious dispositions revealed.
The young man or woman
standing behind the counter, alert,
attentive, observing, can learn
more of human nature in one week

San DIEGO TAKES
IN LARGE AREA
AFTER ELECTION

SAN DIEGO. May 21.--San Die
60 is now officially greater in
population by some 1000; larger in
area by 91S acres and richer by
$f16,250,000 than it was short
time ago. This slddeG rise in the
world was brought about through
Tie off'.la sanction by the seere
tarv OF st"te of tn, returns Of the
recent election by which Normal
Heights and Ter<l voted to come
iatc the e;ty prop"'. Nhj;s these
suburbs have had most of the adj
vantages of the city for all these
years and really were a part of the
municipality, they were outside the
boundary and under the control of
the board of supervisors, rather
than the city council. The official
action which marked the actual un-
ion was taken May 9 and Mayor
Bacon so informed the city council
at the first meeting thereafter.
Immediately upon the announce
ment by the mayor that the seere-
tary of state has acknowledged re-
ceipt of the certificate Of the elec-
ton, a member of the city council
moved the Improvement of two
streets in the recently annexed
district by paving and the motion
went through without dissension.
One of these streets is El Caion
Avenue, the main artery from the
city leading to Imperial valley and
points east. When it is surfaced it
will become the most popular means
of egress from the city for motor
lists going to the back country, be-
cause the street becomes the high
way at the eastern limits of the
city. The other street to be, inn
proved is Boundary, which former
lv marked the dividing line between
San Diego proper and the recently
annexed suburbs.

SAN DIEGO, MAY o1.-Develop-

the near future is promised rs a re-
suit of Il bin reeentlv signed by
Governor Richardson. The bill
was introduced by Senator Ed
Sample and grants ChuIa Vista the
state S interests in certain tide and
submerged lands on the municipal
ity's water front.
With the passage .of this law
Chula Vista can go ahead with n
program of harbor construction
which has been held back because
of lack of authority. Wharvcs and
piers will be constructed, so that
shipment of the products of various
industries located at Chula Vista
can be greatly facilitated. Plans
are now in preparation and will be
submitted to the L. S. army enei-
neer in charge of this district as
soon as they are made ready. These
plans call for a channel So feet
deep and 1000 feet in width as far
south as the salt works.
Under the provisions of the law
the state reserves the right to use
the waters of the harbor for navi-
