We're entirely too radical and con-
tanned provisions which were so far
reaching as to deny to the American
citizen his ordinary right to partici-

Il also vetoed house bill No SO,
which, upon the best legal advice OBJ
tainable, was in direct violation of
the provisions of both national and

to discriminate as to the right Of

Tune In On Radio

BERLIN, Mar %. lP)-Study Of the
German wireless broadcasting system
reveals a remarkable use of it's
facilities for educational purposes.
Special stress is laid on the teaching
of foreign languages, and high COM
mendation has been given by educa
tional authorities of various nations
to the methods pursued in imparting
this form of instruction.
As is coming to be the case in
the German schools, English is the
language given predominant con-
sideration. The English lessons over
the radio come four times a week
Spanish lessons are given twice. The
International language, Esperanto,

Radio Message Reports In

erry Under Control

SAN FRANCISCO, March % Pl.-
With its boilers fired to capacity, the
army transport Chateau Thierry was
rushing northward along the Pacific
seaboard tonight in the sole effort to
dead and 60 persons suffering from
the epidemic of influenza and mumps.
aboard the vessel
The latest word received here from
the vessel was sent by Congressman
G. r. Curry, Of Sacramento AS senior
member of the congressional delega-
tion aboard the transport, Curry sent
a radio message to Colonel Louis Bash,
head of the army transport service in
San Francisco, advising him of condi-
tions aboard Further word from the
transport was to the effect that the
ship might be expected to dock early
Thursday. Congressman Curry's mes
sage read:
"a few cases of Influenza broke out
among the troops on the Chateau
Thierry after leaving New York, but
the disease did not threaten to assume
serious proportions until we left
Panama Prompt action of the trans
port surgeon and army medical Off
GERS and army nurses, as well as Off
GERS in charge of troops and their
energetic efforts. reduced casualties to
a minimum.
The peak has been passed and the
influenza is now under control. There
is no danger of recurrence. The
morale Of the troops is very good and
aboard over conditions now prevalent
on the ship. The ships officers, army
surgeons and army nurses and enlisted
men detailed on hospital duty deserve
most hearty co1nmendation for efficient
work"
The names of the four privates who

very obvious reasons. The amount
appropriated in the bill was entirely
inadequate to make any real start
toward providing for such colony.
i constituted with the presidents of
our two teachers colleges and with
other citizens interested in this ques-
tion, and after mature deliberation
decided that the bill should be amend
ed and the colony started properly,
rather than to start out wrong, as
was done at the state industrial
school Is years ago.
II vetoed house bill No. 70, creating
legislative examiner This was
Simply another of the many bills that
this legislature has undertaken to
pass in endeavor to harrass the adj
n1inistrative department of the state
government.
I'VE have in the employ of the
lature every material fact needed for
its guidance. A comparison of the
pro rata costs of the various state
institutions over the past several
years does not justify the action of
the legislature in making inadequate
appropriations for these institutions.
Every one of them has had an in
crease in population. Costs of sup
plies have increased. The buildings
have grown older. Repairs and re-
placements are necessary. Much ma
chinery and equipment are worn out.
This bill was political bill, pure
and simple, and an unwarranted tres
pass by the legislature on the ad-
nAnistratiNe branch Of the state gov
ernment,
4 II vetoed the general appropriation
bill becaues of its inadequate appro-
rriations for nearly every state fnsti-'
tuition and many of the departments
of state and because it bristles with
lnfairness and discrimination against
the executive department and the de-
partments over which l have any

II vetoed house bill No. 127 because
of the manner and method of its
passage; and because it. undertakes
to create highway commission which

cause it increases the tax rate un-

ing and vet everything. She liked it
for the same reason that she liked
artichOkes and alligator pears. They
had no particular flavor and yet were
delicious.
Richard laughed at her enthusiasm
and looked as If he could eat her with
out much trouble. other people looked
at them, too. Two Brazilian men who
sat at the next. table couldn't take
their eyes off Sally, and she was pleas
antly aware of it. Womanlike. she
saw that Richard didn't like it at ALL
but she kept her eyes demurelv low
cred and didn't look In their direction.
That night they drove for miles in
an open car. Sally felt as if she were
under a spell of some kind. The road
ran along the sea. 1t was all more
wonderful than anything she had ever
imagined. And her fingers were mes
tied in Richards warm hand, her
shoulder rested against his.
The next day they were off again.
Buenos Aires next, and then home!
Home. Somehow, when she said the
word. it had no meaning for her.
Sometimes SHE would deliberately say
the word to herself. But it seemed to
convey nothing DiInly she was aware
of the fact that she ought to be
ashamed, but she wasn't. She was
too busy being alive.
All that seemed to matter was that
every hour of every day she was with
Richard. 1T was enough to be near
him. And in the intervals when she
was not with him, she was looking
forward to the next time. And
there always seemed to be something
different about him. He was never
quite the same. And he loved her
she could never get used to that.
Two days out frem Rio, she awoke
to the fact that Richard was stopping
in Buenos Aires. There would be the
long trip back without him. The
knowledge smote upon her conscious
ness like terrific blow. She could
hardly realize it. Fancy the sea with
out Richard, She couldn't realize it.
The thought of such thing was
intolerable.

Johnnie's Problem.

Johnnie's feelings are decidedly hurt,
He is a serious.minded young man,
and he comes to me with his problem
because he feels that his future hap.
piness may be at stake.
He's engaged, you see, TO a tuTfy-
haired little Molly, who has always
seemed TO love him sincerely.
Shortly after he asked her 10 marry
him. he announced brightly that he
was on his way TO pick out an engage
ment ring for her-and she was de
lighted.
He wanted TO do it hInself-iust to
show what a clever picker he was-~so
he hied him TO jewelers. and there
invested in a really beautiful opal sur
rounded by diamonds-not a cheap
opal, either: a perfect knockout of a
stone.
But when lie presented it to his
lady fair her lower lip trembled dan
gerously and she pouted all over the
place.
Followed tears and angry words and
all the paraphernalia of good sized
quarrel.
Eventually, of course. there was
some sort of reconciliation but Molly
is still unhappy over the ring and
doesn't want it. Johnnie is hurt and
resentful. He feels that If. the girl
really loved him she'd love his ring.
He begins 10 suspect that the only
reason she was engaged TO him was
TO get just the kind of ring she de-
sired~a large. impressive looking dia'
mond.
,'Why. if she were really in love,
ne writes. shed be glad of any ring,
Just so long as it stood for our being
engaged TO each other.
No. she wouldn't, Johnnie. Not IN
this day and age. The modern girl
may be free and easy and untamed--
but she's conventional when 1t comes
10 things like clothes and cars-and
engagement rings.
She wants her clothes i'll style, she
wants to have a car which the smart

wants a diamond solitaire, because all
the best people in her crowd have dla'

know a girl who received perfectly
good emerald for an engagement ring,
an emerald which cost twice as much
as a diamond OF that size would, and
she kicked up fuss just the same
because she was conventional enough
to want the good old standby diamond.
Girls are funny creatures, Johnnie,
and have to be humored. You musn e

stunning opal.

opal engagement rings she'd be tickled
to death with her gift.

It's silly old custom, but some girls

and imperfect.
