.FILIPINOS RULED
TO BE MONGOLIANS
California Court Decision Bars
Marriages Between Filipinos
and White Girls.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, February 26.-The
ruling of Superior Judge j. A. Smith
that Filipinos are CT the Monaghan race
and therefore ineligible to marry whites
in California was declared by legal au-
thorities here today to have opened
the way for invalidation of more than
100 marriages performed in this State.
Authorities said the ruling did not
automatically invalidate marriages of
FilipinoS and whites performed since
the passage of the State miscegena-
ton law, but that it affords legal
grounds for invalidation proceedings to
be brought in individual cases.
The ruling was returned yesterday by
Judge Smith in granting a permanent
writ prohibiting issuance of a marriage
license to Tony v. Moreno, "a, Filipino,
and Ruby Robinson, 22-year-old white
girl. The writ was requested two weeks
ago by Mrs. Stella A. Robinson, mother
of the girl.
County Counsel Everett NATION had
contended Filipinos are of the Malayan
branch of the Caucasian race.

ter of Precaution, but No
Damage Is Reported.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CALEXICO, Calf, February 90
Residents of Imperial Valley and the
Northern District of Lower California
in Mexico, today recovered from the
scare caused by an earthquake yes
terday.
The major shock, of Is seconds dura-
ton, occurring at 6:25 pm, was of
sufficient intensity to foreWarn the
valley inhabitants of possibly sitter
joltS to come and many of them took
to the streets as a matter of precaution.
When no further shock was felt until
7:50 pm, and that of considerably
lessened intensity, the temporary alarm
subsidized.
No damage was reported from any
section, although buildings were rocked
perceptibly by the first jolt.
How far the earthquake extended into
Mexico could not be determined.
Mexicali, capital of the Northern Dis
trict of Lower California, felt it, but
the district of the south is sparsely
settled, and no reports of disturbances
came from there.

You are paying
for a Packard
-why NOT 0wn one !?

The first cost of an automobile
does not determine ownership
costs.
A car which sells for half as
much as a Packard Standard
Eight does not get half rates on
gasoline, oil and tires. Nor on
license, insurance, garaging
and repairs.
If the car is similar in size to
the Packard it costs at least as
much to operate and maintain
it. No advantage here, for a
lower~priced car.
There is no advantage for the
half-price car on first cost, either
provided the Packard is kept
twice as long. For here is where
depreciation must be fguredin.
Simple arithmetic proves that
depreciation ON a Packard
is no greater than ON a half,
price car aVhen the Packard's
useful life is teVice that of the
lesser vehicle.
And Packard cars are kept
far longer. Comparison with

lower~priced cars traded in on
Packards proves it. Owners
know that their Packards are
built for long life, and that
their characteristic beauty is
not deprecated by frequent
and needless changes in design.
1t is literally true, therefore,
that if you are driving a car of
comparable size to a Packard
Standard Eight you are UNI
doubtedly paying Packard
ownership costs.
Isn't it logical, then, to ask
Why not have the Packard"
The price of the most popular
model Of the Packard Standard
Eight-the 5~passenger Sedan
is but $2485 at the factory.
Ten other body styles are avail
able on the 12719 and 134H-
inch wheelbases at from $2425
to $2885.

Prepare NOW TO Re-entey
School Early in
September

School bells will be ringing soon!
...... so prepare now to take up "Your Biggest Job"
where you left off last spring. Re-enter school this
fall with the determination to secure a really good
education. Few things are more important. Stats
tics show that the boy who has a common school ed
ucation has eight times more chances of success than
the boy without any school training; that the boy OF
high school education has eighty times more chances
than the boy who has had no education, and the grad.
yates of colleges and universities have eight hundred
times more chances than the boy who has no educa-
ton.
Every additional year spent in school means just
that much more ability to efficiently fill a constructive
position in the community in which you live.
Be SURE to enroll again this fall!

A Solution That Is Too Simple
Duluth Herald)

OuIuLu f1cTdlO)
H. q. Wells, a most ingenious British author. speaking
to an American audience over the radio from London
yesterday. offered a very simple solution to all our econ
omic problems.
All we have to do, he said, is to adopt mass buying in
place of individual buying, and then we shall use up all
surplus and make everybody. happy.
I'VE buy battleships on the community plan" he said,
"and II we can do that I refuse to believe that we can
not buy hotels. perfectly equipped houses and boots and
shoes for most Of the people Of the world In the same
way. Collectively we can buy everything that we col
lectively produce"
OF course that is true. If Bill can't afford the new
automobile he would like, or Joe can't afford the home
his wife would like to own. or if Jack is unable to finance
his aspiration to dress better than anybody else, unques-
tonably the community as a unit is well able to afford
to crafty all these desires.
The trouble with this remed,, like the remedies of So
cialism and its ugier but more logical cousin commun-
ism, is that it is.al. ether too simple.
Most people don't appreciate what they have not won
by their own efforts. and mostly what they get without
working for it does them little good and often it does
them much harm. Nothing more fatal could happen to
the initiative and enterprise of the average individual
than to have him know that he doesn't have to hustle
any more because the community will take care of his
wants.
Mr.. Wells is a very bright man, marvelously fertile in
ideas. But. like most such fertile minds, his needs a
wise guardian with the power to select and reject.

Canada at the Imperial Conference

(St. Paul Dispatch)
Probable failure Of the Imperial Conference. now
meeting at London. to adopt a system of empire trade
preferences which would in effect set up a tariff system
based upon free trade within the British Empire and high
tariff barriers against other countries, has stimulated
contradictory responses from Canada.
Prime Minister Bennett. who laid the plan before the
conference in the hope that Canada might find a pre-
ferred market for its wheat in England, finds his con-
duct at the conference praised and criticized at home.
That the Prime Minister asked everything and Of
Tered nothing" OF the British government is supported
by some Canadian as well as English opinion. The mat
tiers Of policy which prompted Prime Minister MacDon-
aid. speaking for the Labor government, to answer a pro-
posal Of taxes on foodstuffs with the expression: I'VE
cannot do it," are sympathetically understood in Western
Canada: The Manitoba Free Press feels that Canadian
proposals called for sacrifices by Great Britain out of all
proportion to the contributions proposed by Canada"
The Toronto Mail, with less understanding and SYM
pathy for MacDonald's attitude. assumes to say that "the
present British government is practically on its last
legs" The Mail emissions a new government soon and
expects it to usher in the Bennett program.
In any event, the system of trade preferences within
the Empire seems to have been deferred indefinitely.
Despite BENEFITS impressive election victory last July.
his tariff policies are holly controversial throughout the
Dominion. and especially in the Prairie Provinces. Coun-
tries which find in the United Kingdom and Its domin-
ions markets for their commodities face no immediate
prospect OF a British Empire surrounded by insurmount-
able tariff walls on the preferential principle.

Pride and Martyrdom

Consider the turkey ~fattening for Thanksgiving days
dinner. How he swells and puffs himself and struts in
impressive dignity across the barnyard-inflated will,
pride in his breadth and depth Of chest and large hip
measurements. And the tragedy of it is that those things
constitute his death warrant. The gifts of which he is
SO proud doom him to the oven.
Some may see in the gobblers vanity q striking illustra-
ton Of the p%roverbial pride that is followed by a fall.
Others, who look at the matter fairly, will see something
more. All who recall the last good turkey dinner served
them must admit that . we'll fattened gobbler has some
thing to be proud Of. Nor Is his fall, en- route to the
table, to be set down as In any way a penalty Of pride.
In his fall he serves mankind. In his death he becomes
a true benefactor Of the hungry. His pride in life is
not unbecoming and In death he is a martyr to q
glorious cause.

Prison Reform in New JERSEY

minneapolis Tribune)
In the administration of it's penal institutions the
state of New Jersey is beginning an interesting expsri-
nent. It has adopted six classifications for criminals.
It provides strict prison discipline for hardened GRIM
mails over Is. an industrial reformatory for youths Of
a~ntisocial inclinatiozs. vocational training for minor Of
tenders. a farm for nondescript offenders who have a
trade and are not dangerous. an institution for the GRIM
inal insane and a. colony farm for mental detectives.
The classification In which convicted men are placed is
determined by their records and following a term OF
observation by trained scientists in the equivalent of a
prison receiving ward.
Through experience society has learned that nothing
Is gained by locking up a maniac with criminal propen-
stiles and later setting him free. It has often been
demonstrated that a defective mentality is not improved
by repeated punishment or a hayward youth made better
by being confined with hardened criminals.
The New Jersey plan apparently starts with the theory
that in the human flotsam and jetsam there is always the
possibility of salvage and that one of the mistakes of our
penal system is to release, without seeking to improve or
treat, those predisposed to crime through mental
deficiencies. The practical application of that plan is
certain to be watched with interest.
