FOR ALL CALIFORNIA

There is not ! Senator in all the
Co gresS better Known to the peo-

Shortridge. Every citizen should
be familiar with>his platform a t this
time. since he has rendered efficient
service, and presented himself in

but every American citizen. As a

ITO my personal knowledge Sen
ator Shortridge has unselfishlv de-
voted his time and talents to the
interests of this State, and to affairs
of the nation in far greater degree
than average Congressional repre-
sentatives. He is always to be
found at his post ready to solve the
problems which come before him
and his policies as Republican are
sound to the CORE -

At any rate the whole race in the
state, seem to be in favor Of re-

him back, Judging from the Short

people at every gathering. n
conclusion we say to the. Prcsid-

can do and has done for Our group.
if you are not prepared to call

ASKS SCHOOL BOARD
 10 GIVE PLAY SITE
PaOnessa Would Open Recreation
 Park in North End

At the meeting of the school board this afternoon letter was received from Mayor A. M. Paones- sa asking the board to turn over property In the neighborhood of the Washington school to the park commission to be used as a play ground for children in that section of the town. A discussion will also take place as to ways and means of changing the present system of letting the children know when there will be no school session be- cause of indictment weather.
 This request of the mayor comes after much effort on his part to provide suitable playground in the northwestern section of this city, the most denscly populated section of the city. The area con- tains II acres and may be used as a place for recreation for the working man and his family at the end of the days work.
 Srpt. S. H. Holmes declared he is not satisfied with conditions in regard to no-school whistle. Ac- cording to the present system, the superintendent calls the Stanley Rulo and Level Go. when he deems it necessary that school be closed because of indictment weather con- ditions. Because Of the many calls he receives during stormy weather. it Is often difficult to get in touch with the person in charge of the factory whistle, and there is often a delay in announcing the news to the school children.

YALE NEWS PLAYS
 HARVARD METHOD
Objects to CrimS0n'S Attack on
 Chapel System

New Haven. Feb. 16-Champion- ing as 1t does the abolition of com. pusory chapel in Yale college, the editors of the Yale News today de- cided that the Harvard Crimson's method of aid, through an extra edition rushed here over ice covered highways. was not tho proper method' Of approach to the prob. iom,
 Tho Crimson's extra, containing a first hand study" Of chapel at Yale by I.ucius Bccbe, former under class. man At Yale, now Of Harvard, reached here at chapel timo, but its distribution did not come until later in the day, The Harvard men who came with the edition had q warm, h"o,herly welcome and were housed at Hardness
 The News editors, through Russell L. Post, their chairman. later is sued a statement in which 1t was pointed out that they did not agree that "the approach to tho problem ls through such hot-headed com ment and disrespect as come through the pen oc MT. Becbe,"
 The statement further said that Mir. Beehc's efforts "are not thank less ones .or the undergraduates eX- pressed d!sarproval Of compulsion in these exercises Is encouraged by such support"
 Among undergraduates, up till noon, there was little comment, as most Of them were at classes and the Crimson's extra remained to be dis triiuted. The automobiles which left Cambridge at l;30 q. III. made good time over highways which were de- scribed in vigorous terms, But they survived and the Harvard men who came with them declared they were none the worse for wear by their experience.
 The statement says:
 The Yale News, in no way, asso- ciatcd with the Crimson campaign undertaken in its behalf, welcomes any spurt 10 the long-hanginS qucs- ton of compusion in the attendance at religious exercises, we do not agree, however, that the method of approach to the problem is through such hot-headed comment and dis respect as has come through the pen of Mir. Becbe. The whole story is too far 10 the left of the left, and un- officially cannot do much moro than antagonize the authorities with whom we must deal. An unbiased faculty committee of five is handling the chapel situation now, and shows every desire 10 reach the end which will be fore the best interests of Yale.
 Mir. Beebe's efforts are not thank less ones for the undergraduates eX- pressed disapproval of Compuslon ln these exercises is encouraged by such support. But we are confident that the most satisfactory conclusion can only come through handling the whole affair with gloves, and with holding whatever discourtoous re- marks might result from periodic disgust for the neglect of under graduate demands.
 The 1926 board of the News which retired last week, advanced the cause of freedom from the Yale travesty on religion; the new board Of editors will continue the long drawn out struggle. but with less cffervcscent overflow of condemna- ton. such as inspired the author ol the Crimson story to bring forth his interesting comments

STOCK DECLINES
 HALTED TODAY
Bear Traders Active But Accom-.
 pliSh Little

New York, Feb. 16 H1-The re- action In stock prices. which hns beon under way for two days, came 10 a halt today when strong buying support was provided for a large number of high grade rail and in dustrial issues, Bear traders con- tlnued to search out weak spots, but they made little headway and rush ed 10 cover when bullish demonstra tions were resumed in some of the high priced industrial specialtes, Banks were reported 10 have called about $l5,0O0,00O in loans, but tho call money ruled steady at 3-i per cent.
 The drastic downward readjust- mont in the quoted values of many issues undoubtedly had improved the technical opposition of the market, enabling it to make a splendid response to the concerted buying of special issues. General Electric, '. s. Cast Iron Pipe, AL lied Chemical and a number of other stocks which were weak yes terday, rallied brislly on q cessation Of selling pressure. Baldwin was : heavy because of the unsatisfactory 1925 earrings report, showing less than $l a share earned on the pre- ferrod stock. Canadian Pacific rail- road stock responded to e renewal of foreign buying and Atchison, 1 Union Pacific, Lackawanna, Read 1 ing and Atlantic Coast Line moved upward in it's wake. DuPont made q belated response to the raising of 1 the annual dividend from $S to $IO. ! Recent abrupt declines in various stock market specialties have en- f phasizod the dangers courted by pools in forcing their favorites to heights from which they were bound to topple unless fortified by general 1 public support. In vigorously rising market, such as that which reached its climax last fall, the pub lie may be relied upon to buy stocks without deliberation simply 1 because they are headed upward With this years general activities governed by more sober judgment many of the pools have just discov. cred they were unable to unload al the top, and hence the breaks of 1C to 55 points in these unfortunate sponsored issues over the past few days.
