the three temporary policemen recently
appointed be permitted to serve during
the entire school term, and has in

Therefore, be 1t resolved, that this

with Fletcher Kemp, superintendent of
schools, that the janitors are without

It was then decided by the associa-

The practicability Of transportation
by air mail of freSh-cut flowers from
coast to coast was successfully demon
strated by the results of the awards in
the first great international flower fes-
tival recently staged at San Leandro,

In response to an invitation to par

val officials have advised that the ex-
hibits were viewed by more than 10000
persons during the two days of the ex-
hibition
indicative of the magnitude and scope
of the show and the national interest
In this competition is the fact that ex-
hibfts from IS States were on display,
20 States sending entries by airplane.
There were approximately three-quar-
tiers of a mile of table displays Every
inch of space was taken, and 1t was
necessary to build additional tables and
place some exhibits on the porches of
the main exhibition hall. Three circus
tents were also filled with exhibits.
1t required IL horticultural judges
four hours to examine the exhibits and
make the awards, and the show was the
largest and most pretentious event of
its kind ever held in California.
Montgomery Gets Prizes.
Competing with entries from all over
the United States and British Columbia,
the entry of the Montgomery Suburban
Garden Club was awarded third prize
for the best exhibit travelling the long
est distance by air, and also received
fifth prize for the best single specimen,
any variety, this latter award being in
the class where California. British CO.
lumbia and Wisconsin exhibits were
strongly represented.
In the class in which third prize
was awarded for travelling the longest
distance by air, the local entry was
tied for second honors with two others.
The winners were therefore decided by
lot, the local entry drawing third prize
in the toss-up.
Since the take-off of the plane for
the Pacific Coast carrying the local
entry public interest has been keen to
know the results of this pioneer air
mail experiment and the club has re-
ceived hundreds of inquiries about the
final awards. The circumstances sur

money before needed road expendi-
lures can be made. Legislators from
this county have consistently stood
for legislative measures that provided
more road revenue, and it comes with
mighty poor grace to have some COM
munities demand paving, yet persist
in sending men to the legislature who
oppose every proposition to give the
highway department more funds. Mr..
Babcock is playing no favorites He is
spending what money he can scrape
together for paving where the traffic
is the heaviest-1,5OO vehicles a day
or more. At the present rate, and
with traffic constantly increasing, 1t
is going to take long time before he
can reach the 1,00O-vehicle and 500

ties need to get the dust of their own

RIGHT LIVING COUNTS.

The down and outer on the street
is more often than not a victim of
wrong fed, rather than strong drink
or inherited criminal tendencies, and
the girl who goes wrong would prob
ably never have done so had she been
taught her Wtamin and mineral values.
Lack Of proper nutrition when they
were young has ruined more men and
women than any other single cause,
it is disclosed in report just made
public by Commissioner John McNil-
Ian, in command of the Central terri
tory of the Salvation Army.
"a survey of the LOG industrial
homes of The Army and the "a rescue
homes and hospitals in the United
States shows that more than 60 per
cent of fallen girls cared for last year
and So per cent of all men given aid
by the Army were victims of under
nourishment in their youth" the re-
port states.
Responsibility for this condition
rests directly upon the parents of
these unfortunates, who either per-
mitted their children to dictate their
own habits, or were unable to provide
with, or ignorant Of the essentials Of
balanced dietary. 1t is as criminal
for a parent to allow child to choose
what he or she wants to eat as it is
to allow the child to play with loaded
firearms. The boy who is undernour-
ished is handicapped before he starts
in the game of life, since he is render
ed doubly susceptible to disease of
mind and body.
More than 21,826 men were fed,
clothed and given employment in the
Army's industrial homes in the nation
last year. and approximately 9,0O9
mothers and babies were cared for in
the women's homes and hospitals. Al
together 8,538,694 meals were served,
the report states, thereby emphasiz-
ing the Army's belief that right living
is best accomplished on full stomach.

THE DECLINE OF THE NEWsREEL

Even the Severest critics of the
talking movies are beginning to pull in
their horns as the result of the high
degree of perfection which number
of pictures of this type have attained.
There seems to be no question that
the "talkies" have come to stay, and
judging from their remarkable pro-
gress over comparatively brief
period the public will proably be
treated to better movie fare in the
future than it has ever enjoyed be-
fore.
In one respect, however, the "talkies"
have sinned grievously and ruined
what was formerly one Of the most
attractive features of the average
motion picture program; to-wit, the
newsreels. BY injecting sound into
the proceedings, the newsreel camera
men have limited their activities to
a point where they seem, for the most
part, to be photographing rather COM
monplace and uninteresting events
AS medium for presenting signifi-
cant happenings throughout the world,
the old-time newsreelS were in class
by themselves. Within short time an
eruption Mt. Vesuvius or the coronation
of Balkan monarch or fiesta in Ma
drid, We saw it on the screen for our
selves.
The average talking newsreel, how
ever, seems to place greater premium
on the recording of sound than on de-
picting an interesting event In con-
sequence, we are now deluged with
brass bands, beauty contestants cooling
inanities into the microphone, and in
Vulnerable ceremonies of no particular
interest to anybody save those who are
in on the ballyboo Occasionally, the
newsreel cameramen do turn their at
tention to something worth while, but
generally speaking, their product is un-
pardonably dull compared to what it
once was.
Sound effects can and often do add
to the effect of a newsreel, but Holly
v'ood seems to have forgotten that
first, last, and all the time the picture
is the thing.-Detroit Saturday Night.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK COMING.

October to Is has been set aside as
Fire Prevention Week. During that
time public and private organizations
and authorities will make an effort to
instruct citizens in the fundamentals
of doing away with our terrible fire
waste.
In past years the fire rate has al
ways gone down during the week, only
to rise again to normal" Immediately
after. 1t is the old case of a lesson
going in one year and out the other.
Fire is perhaps the greatest single
menace to progress we must face.
Every year it destroys property which,
in terms of monetary value, would
support whole governments, cover the
country with paved highways, provide
greater educational facilities or do
any number of other great services.
And on top of this must be placed the
still greater destruction in human
life.
During Fire Prevention Week we
learn of the danger of neglected wir-
ing, carelessly disposed of matches or
cigarettes, piles of refuse, poor build
ing construction and so on. But unless
our citizens carry the lessons through
the other 81 weeks of the year nothing
will be gained.
Make Fire Prevention Week the
start of a Fire Prevention Year.

FINANCIAL SPEAKEASIES

In leading a drive against various
types OF bucket shops in New York,
Assistant United States Attorney
George j. Mintzer coined new phrase
financial speakeasieS." They are
exactly like that" he said, Some Of
them having a doorman and peep
hole through which to scan visitors
before the door is opened
Bucket shops tipSter sheets and
other alleged illegal financial enter
priseS, according to U. S. Attorney
Tuttle, have victimized more persons
and caused greater losses than did the
recent 100000 failure of a private
New York banking house.
These investment frauds have given
rise to the more or less common belief
that all purchasing of listed stocks Is
in the same class with betting on the
ponies or buying lottery tickets. They
have, in many instances, caused an
unfair stigma to be attached to honest
and legal transactions and thrown all
blame on Wall Street"
AS a matter of fact, no group Of
people is more interested in stamping
out investment frauds than are leg1-
innate brokers and bankers and stock
exchanges. Stock and bond issues are
vigorously examined before being listed
member brokers are audited much
in the same fashion as banks invest
ors are continually warned against
purchasing unsound and unknown
issues.
The solution of this problem, as is
true of most others, is up to the pur-
chasing public. Bucket shops and tip
ster sheets must have customers be-
fore they can exist and prosper. II
every investor, before buying, made it
his business to first consult reputable
investment banker or a brokerage
house that is a member of one or more
of the large recognized exchanges, the
day of investment frauds would rapid
ly wane.

to the petition filed, there will be no

thing and that something will prob
ably come out at the meeting he has

dent McGonagle of the Missabe states

NAVY BUILDS MEN.

Few boys of seventeen and eighteen
have definitely decided what trade or
profession they want to follow says a
noted educational authority. Most OF
them, graduating from High School
and unable to go to college, drift into
the first job they can get or that ap-
peals to them. Too often they drift
from job to job for several years and
find themselves grown up and untraln-
ed before they realize it.
Most boys at this age are restless
disconnected with home life and the
home town. They want to travel q
little, to see something of the world
Many of them do, some becoming
wanderers and lose themselves in the
threads of human experience. Freed
of home restraints, many of these boys
fall into trouble. The world will natur-
ally discipline them, but it breaks
many of them in the process.
Boys of this age are not only a
problem to their parents but them
selves as well. It is a dangerous age
this so-called formation period. Not
all boys, of course. Some are steady
from youth, choosing and learning
trades early. Others are forced to re-
main at home and help their families
Still others are eager and able to &c
to college But thousands of boys al
this age do not know what to do:
neither do their parents. It is prob
lem discussed nightly and tearfully in
hundreds of homes. Such parents and
these boys would do well to consult
the opportunities offered by the Navy
can enlistment in the United States
Navy supplies the answer to some OF
these problems. 1t provides for the
boys futures, gives them chance tc
travel, honorably and well protected
The knowledge that he is protected
fed, clothed, and looked after, eases
the worry that would wear upon the
parents if he cut loose for himself
The Navy develops and trains the boy
mentally and physically, even morally
It even trains him toward making q
living after discharge.
"The special training schools of the
United States Navy teach numerous
trades, and are constantly turning out
well-trained men. The Navy cannot
function without trained men, and In
order to cope with the progress Of
machinery and its efficient mainten-
ance, these men are continually under
instruction.
Navy life is not all study, play, and
travel. 1t includes hard work and
plenty of it. 1t enforces discipline, but
that discipline does not break self
respect. Discipline, the ability to con-
troll ones self, to obey and to COM
mand, is one of the most valuable as
sets man can have He needs it in
whatever pursuit he engages"
