needed horns to be purchased, it looks

Originated in New York City
Boys Week was originated some
time in 1920 by the Rotary Club of
New York City, when it was started
off with parade, followed by various
other observances on the other days
of the week The original parade was
begun with a group of dozen boys
and before it had covered half dozen
blocks the parade had increased to
hundreds.
This year three hundred or four
hundred towns and cities of the ma
ton and of the world, for Rotary now
encircles the globe, are engaged in eel
ebrating the event. Oakland is one
of the towns to make its entrance in
the movement this year. Hereafter
it will be an annual event, but accord
ing to members of the organization,
it will be upon a more elaborate
scale.

THE NONSTOP RACE

The transcontinental nonstop air. plane race was not as successful as had been contemplated. It must be admitted that flying from New York to Los Angeles without a stop is one of the most difficult feats in aviation. In the first place, it is westward flight. and these are al- ways more difficult than flying east ward. The Rockies offer difficulties that cannot be accurately foreseen, sudden squalls and storms being as likely as not. It Is not surprising therefore that fliers were forced to descend en route.
 The race at least emphasized the progress that has been made in aviation. It is within the memory of most Of US when it was not thought likely that any aviator could negotiate the transcontinental distance within approximately a | days time, no matter how often he Had the Weanm-,w
 descended for refueling purposes. Had the weather been more pro- pitious, with fewer head winds to buck. it is likely that several of the fliers would have negotiated the en- tire distance without stopping. They probably will do 1t the next time.

Orders Newspapers
 Seized for Treason

Belgrade. Jugoslavia, Sept. IS N
 Seizure was ordered last night of all newspapers which printed the text of Q letter signed by tho widow of Stefan Raditch. Croatian peasant leader who was shot during . ses- sion of parliament by government deputy.
 The letter was one the widow had sent Sir Eric Drummond. secretary general of the League of Nations. asking that the league institute an impa rtial inquiry into her husband's death. It also set forth the familiar Croat views that Croatians were treated as an inferior race and de- nied elementary justice. The widow did not spare King Alexander in her denunciation and this was the ground for the seizure.
 The government has under consid- eration application of the law of the defense of the realm.

THE OBSER YER
Makes Random Observations On the City ano lts Peopls
Ex-CoaEressn,an Upsliaw Rams Against Thun1efbolt

Ex-Coagressnsan Upsliaw
 Runs Against Thunderbolt
 The Hon. William D. Upshaw has learned the dangers of making prophecies.
 When the ex-congressman From Georgia visited these climes last he made the unqualified assertion that Al Smith would not receive the sup port of single southern delegate at the national democratic convention in Houston, Texas, Results proved that Mir. Upshaw was slightly in error. Smith received wholeheart- ed support from the Solid South. It was almost solid for his can didacy.
 Mr. Upshaw has received another lesson, having been defeated for the democratic nomination for con- gress in his home state. He ran on a straight anti-Smith platform. con- sistent with his attitude on the pro- hibition question. Out of the five counties in the district he carried just one-and that by a margin of 65 votes.
 In his campaign MT. Upshaw ar- gued almost exclusively on the Smith issue. He professes to hate anything or anyone that might have a tendency to weaken the Volstead act.
 He spoke in this city in the in- terests of the Anti-Saloon league. He professed to hate John Barley corn. But he is professional pro- lessor. He is said to have received $50 and expenses for his speech in this city.

FrascatOre Explains Markings ll llnlfOrm 6k IT 6 Kanr Aln,

oh NbulOrut Ot U. S. NAVY Mc1l
 Many citizens have stopped Navy Recruiting Officer Charles Frasca- tore inquiring the origin of the navy uniform and its various mark ings.
 The uniform, and the system of regulations incidentally. owes its origin chiefly to the British navy. The three white stripes on the col- lar of the American bluejacket signify Admiral Nelson's three ma jor victories. Copenhagen, the Nile, and Trafalgar. The two stars, one in each corner of the collar, are in honor of Admiral Porter and Ad- miral Farragut. The collar itself owes its existence to the fact that many years ago sailors wore their hair in a braid which came down to the shoulders. To prevent the uniform from becoming soiled. the collar was added.
 The black neckerchief was adopt cd originally in the royal navy as . sign of sorrow for the death of Britain's greatest naval hero. and the United States adopted it along with the uniform in respect for our dead.
 The thirteen buttons on the pants probably require no explanation, for the thirteen original states and thus it is seen that many of the decorations of the navy uniforms are typical of the spirit for which our navy stands.
