THE cH1LD's. ALLOWANCE

Child specialists believe that a
pocket allowance works best when it
is in no way dependent on work done
to help in the house, but is given
in order to train the child in the
use Of money. Help in simple tasks
should be expected as matter of
course, and an allowance of some
sort given also as matter of course.
Do not use the allowance as a means
of discipline. Find other ways of
teaching obedience or other neces-
sary lessons. Very unusual tasks may
be paid for, if the child would other
wise have continual sense of druid
gerry connected with everything
around the home For example, dish
washing is something everyone
should help with. Everyone makes
dishes dirty. Window washing, paint
ing, moving the lawn, cleaning the
cellar, and similar occasional tasks,
often little heavy for a child, may
be rewarded by definite pay, just as
one might pay an outsider to do them.
Where the ready cash in a family is
too small to permit any pay, the
spirit of teamwork can be so strongly
developed that no work need seem
like drudgery, unfairly imposed on
unwilling shoulders.
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1931-01-02

Most children are uncomfortable
in stiffly starched clothes. The idea
that the garments stay clean longer if
starched may be true if the little
ones do not indulge in their usual
active play because of their clothes.
But it would be better to choose
closely woven, firm wash fabrics, in
smooth finishes that shed dirt, and
in colors and patterns that do not
look disagreeably dingy after short
wearing. Then starching is unneces-
ssary.

Aimee's Boston
Revival Fails

BOSTON, Oct. 10. U.R)-Boston's
jobless relief fund was increased by
S908.2O today as result of Aimee
Semple Mcpherson Hutton's visit.
A special collection for the unem-
ployed at AiIee's closing revival
service last night netted that
amount.
Pending announcement of total
receipts of the evangelist's nine-day
revival, it was not known whether
the city's jobless would benefit to a
greater extent. Aimee agreed to
Mayor James M. Curley's proposal
that she give half of the porfits to
the city. But if the 163, 900 persons
estimated to have attended the
services gave the 10 cents apiece
that the first few audiences did the
collections totaled only slightly
more than $4,000. And Aimee es-
timated expenses at $4,000 a night,
or more than $4,000 for the series.
Mrs. Hutton and her baritone hus-
band left late last night for New
York, where Aimee is to make
some phonograph records. She is
scheduled to begin revival services
in Philadelphia next week.

CLOSE SCORE
MARKS DEFEAT
OF CALEXECANS

Playing a game of steam roller
football, the first seen in Imperial
Valley this year. and building
stone wall against the line thrusts
Of their south end enemies, Central
Union Junior College Saturday
night rolled down the field to a
touchdown and conversion set up
against the one touchdown of the
Calexico Alumni team, defeating the
Calexicans, to 6.
In a game remarkable because of
the lack of breaks for either team,
the basic strength of the El Centro
line was demonstrated in a way to
break the hearts of Calexico fans.
But the line strength was almost
offset by backfield weakness, the
Central collegians time and again
striking the CaleXico line where a
pile of players blocked the way, in
stead OF choosing holes through the
wall to the right or left.
Calexico, however, showed the
same weakness, and struck plugs in
stead OF holes in the wall. Gener-
ally, however, the Ell Centrans
showed greater ability to get
through. Several times the CaleXico
team was held when threatening
Centrals goal.
Another feature of the game was
the notable absence of end runs.
which seemed to be called for in
several instances, and which, when
tried, did effective work. Both
teams did excellent passing work,
but were rather timid in trying the
aerial attack.
Calexico scored first, and for al
most a full quarter held Ell Centro
scoreless. Then the collegians broke
out in a march down the field chat
netted the second and last score of
the game on line plunge. Another
plunge put the conversion over
Thereafter the game surged from
one end of the field to another,
each team threatening countless
times, but neither putting the final
punch into the game that was
needed.

A light that should not fail today
revealed Southern California and
Stanford as the outstanding teams
in the Pacific Coast conference.
The Trojans again were the thun-
dering herd of old in ripping oregon
So to 0 and Stanford oVerpoWered
Oregon State, 25 to 7, with an ef-
fectiVe second half offensive.
The Southern California Oregon
game was the story of one of the
finest teams in America taking an
inexperienced sophomore eleven.
Orv Mohler was off to two long
jaunts and Pinckert as usual was
extensively and defensiyely near
perfect. Oregon's offense was cut
considerably by the loss of Joe Lii
lard, negro halfback, who was found
ineligible But even a combination
of Lillard, eagle and Grange could
nave done little against the great
Trojan forward wall. Stanford was
impressive in taking Oregon State.
Warmers team started slowly and
was held to a to tie at half time
Allen shot a 45-yard pass to Colvin,
who raced Is yards for the winning
touchdown in the third quarter. The
Cardinals added two more in the
fourth period. Reg Rust and John
ny Biancone were oregon States
outstanding players.
The Golden Bears of California
found Washington State a tough,
fighting eleven but beat the Cou-
gars, 13 to 7, at Portland The WIN
ming touchdown was a 55-yard dis
puted run by Ed KirWan, Califor-
MAS fleet halfback.
After Byers had blocked Watkins
punt and tied the score, the Bears
came back luriously. KirWan sliced
off left tackle, eluded two tacklers
ard was flattened on the Cougars
30-yard line by Sander and Dahlen.
1t appeared as If he was doWned,
but the whistle did not blow and
KirWan regained his feet and con-
tinued unimpeded to the goal. Coach
Hollingbery protested the decision
bitterly after the game.

Bears, however were stronger in
running plays thanks TO KirWan
and Watkins.
The University of Washington
came back as a chastened team fol-
lowing the oregon game and tool;
Idaho. SO to 7. Merle Hufford and
Clarence Bledsoe, fast halfbacks, led
the attack. The Huskies displayed
fire and football and may give STAN
ford a real game next Saturday at
Seattle. However, the Cardinals
should win.
Santa Clara slipped into high gear
to beat Olympic club, 10 to 6. The
UCLAS of Los Angeles went to
Evanston, Ill, to be defeated 10 to
by Northwestern. Occidental beat
California Tech, 13 to 0 and Whit
tier defeated La Verne, 26 to 13.
The Gaels of st. Mary's kept pace
with Stanford as the only undefeat-
ed teams on the coast by scoring a
IA to 6 victory over San Francisco
University in San Francisco Sunday
The Fogmen scored in the first four
minutes and made the Gaels fight
for every point they piled up. The
st. Marys team fumbled often and
did not appear impressive to the
crowd of $4,000, but the issue never
was in doubt.

been advised of the impatience with
which Nevada cattle feeders are
waiting the publication of low emer-
gency rates for feeder cattle NOV
ing to Imperial Valley points for
winter pasturage DR.. Wilson stat
ed in his communication: I'VE are
little discouraged at The outlook
for if rates are not immediately put
into effect a great many of cur
people will be unable to participate
for the cattle in many instances
have already been moved The lat
est advice I have is that there is
around 30 to $4,000 head of cattle
yet to be moved"
The Ell Centro Chamber OF Com
merce has communicated with DR..
Wilson and with McNaughton, in
forming them of the certain prob
ability that the Interstate Com
meree Commission will consent to
these necessary emergency rates,
and that the same will be publish
ed soon and be effective upon one
days notice. THE delay, chamber
of commerce officials state. is mere
" administrative. The railroads Of
the west, according to Hays, Who
attended a conference called by
Governor Dern at Salt Lake City
q month ago, have evinced a will
ingness to meet the situation by es-
tablishing rates on feeder cattle
moving TO winter pasturage and III
the direction of normal markets.
! Application has been made by the
J governors of western states and by
civic bodies generally in the drought
stricken areas for these new rates,
and it is not expected that any op-
position will be made before the
commission.
! Growers of winter grain in I'm
perial county, upon the urging CT
the chamber of commerce, have
planted winter grain upon their
lands and in fields Of alfalfa in
order to provide the best winter
pasturage for the feeder cattle
which are expected to move from
the northwest. In addition, 1t is
believed that local cattlemen vii
increase their purchases of feece,
stock as much as possible in view
of the situation and the opportuni-
ties for securing cattle in Imperia,
Valley ct reasonable prices during
the winter feeding season.
