The prospects Of i comprC-

The House Civil Service Commit

overwhelmingly in favor Of the
Senate amendunents, provided they
would not mean q presidential veto.
Following the meeting, Represen-
tative Frederick r. Lehlbach Of
New Jersey. chairman OF the COM

SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.-Thc
California presidential primary race
went into it's final week with
great activity in evidence at state
headquarters of the one Republican
and three Democratic candidates en-.
tered in the contest.
Although Herbert Hoover, secre-
tary of commerce, was without op-
position for the support of Califor-
MIA Republicans for the presidential
nomination, the drive to secure n
large vote for him was just as in
tcnsive as in the Democratic ranks.
Numerous meetings throughout
the state were planned for the last
week of the campaign by the Hoov-
cr organization. Women workers
were negaged in systematic effort
to insure an impressive turnout of
Republican women for the balloting.
In San Francisco n big Hoover
rally was planned for Thursday at
which Marshal Hale will preside. All
the California delegate candidates on
the Hoover ticket for the primary
election were invited.
The Hoover leaders stressed again
and again the necessity of rolling
up large vote for the secretary of
commerce in the primary next Tues
dav.
Failure to show the necessary vot-
ing strength in California, where his
candidacy is regarded as that of a
"native son, might be seized upon
by his foes with fatal results at a
critical moment in the Kansas City
convention, it was pointed out.
The wet and dry issue was again
injected into the fight of Governor
Al Smith of, New York, Senators
James 4. Reed of Missouri and Sen
ator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana
as the campaign drew to a close.

STUDENTS AND STUDENTS

1t is interesting to note that the two high students
in recent spelling match at the local high school, bear
Oriental names, being of japanese descent.
This is just another instance of the intense app-
cation to study often displayed by those whose mne-
diate ancestors born in foreign lands. 1t not
that children of foreign-born parents necessarily
more brilliant than those of socaed American stock
but there is tendency the part of the former to
pay more attention to fundamentals of education,
while at the time they take active part in the less
essential phases of modern education
F0relgnborn parents realizing their own lack of
educational advantages, also the lavishness with which
America opens the doors of its educational institutions,
encourage their children to take advantage of every
opportunity offered them. Quite often the voice of
authority is added to that of encouragement and the
child is held to strict accountability for its school
work.
On the other hand, children of second and third
American generations taking education matter Of
and often without enjoying the stimulation of
parental supervision, fail to make the of their
opportunities and outstrpped by their fellow
dents of more serious bent.
This being Public Schools Week, presents op-
perfume time for parents to ask themselves if they
showing the necessary interest in the education of their
children. This interest is not limited to attend
at school but involves close supervision of school
work and active cooperation with the teachers.

ACTIVITY MARKS FINAL WEEK
OF STATES PRIMARY RACE

I Kathleen Norris, noted writer, bit.
terly assailcd the candidacy of
Smith and said his nomination
would be "real calamity to Amer
ica' because of his views on prohi-
bition.
She also took fling at Senator
Reed and declared candidacy of
Senator Walsh stands for the prin-
ciples for which California women
are fighting.
She is a delegate candidate on the
Walsh ticket which is headed by the
name of William G. McAdoo, HIM
self candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination in 1924.
Henry II. McPikc, chairman of
the Smith organization, announced
today that Il number of rallies will
be held throughout the state during
the week.
The Smith campaign in northern
California will be climaXcd by II
meeting Thursday night ut which
Mrs Nellie r. Ross, former gov
crnor of Wyoming. and James ID.
Phelan, former senator, will be the
keynotcrs.
Phelan was the man who placed
, Me Adoo in nomination at the DEM
ocratic national convention four
years ago, and in supporting Smith
he broke away from the McAdoo or
ganization.
Reed organization managers said
he was "in the fight to stay until
the end of the balloting in the Hou-
ston convention.
They interpreted the heavy Demo
cratic registration figures in the
state as a sign favorable to Reed S
candidacy.
After the California primaries on

Pacific coast political calendar will

THEATERS

According to Victor Seastrom, di.
rector of "The Divine Woman,'
the Metro.Goldwvn Mayer produc-
tion coming to the Valley tomorrow,
its star, Grcta Garbo, is responsible
for introducing new type of act
ing on the screen. The old "vam-
pre- type has been doomed, but
Greta is substituting it with sort
of innocent sophistication which
combines all the standards of vir-
tue with the best dramatic quail
ties of the 'vamp.'
She has NOT appeared in in
nocent roles by any means, but she
has succeeded in playing sophisti-
Gated roles in such manner that
she has drawn sympathy for her
character, no matter how many of
the social or moral standards that
screen character violates. Miss
CARLOS characters always have
such positive rcdeeming traits that
they almost counterbalancc the
ultrasophistication of her roles. -
Though Il veteran film director
Seastrom marvcls ut the manner in
which Miss Garbo portrays her roles.
When YOU stop to think that she
has never failed to deliver, and that
not one of her pictures has been n
failure, one can't help but believe
the success of Greta Garbo is due
TO herself rather than to direction,
vehicles, magnificence of wardrobe
or elegance of settings. She is the
only screen star | have ever known
who has succeeded in every eharac-
terization she has attempted.
Lars Hanson, distinguished
Swedish actor, and Lowell Sherman,
American character artist, have the
featured male roles opposite Miss
Garbo in 1.-The Divine Woman.
