Inauguration OF
Jim ROlph Today
(Continued from page y

the ever present gardenia in his
lapel, San Francisco's own Sunny
Jim was prepared to close such a
fiesta as this .staid old capital has
ever seen before with his formal in
auguration as governor OF the
state.
There was merrymaking before;
there will be dancing afterwards =
such a party as no other governor
has ever dreamed of, WITH thou
sands responding to an invitation
reading something like this:
Smile with Sunny Jim-everybody!
Governors inaugural ball, Jan. 8.
Masonic auditorium, Sacramento.
Dancing Informal"
Yesterday, the first of three days
of celebration, Rolph's genius for
creating good humor was put to the
acid test. AS the inaugural parade
lined up for the start, steady
drizzle that had come down all
night thickened into a hard rain
But what was little rain to the
man who had covered every coun-
ty in the state during his campaign
by auto and airplane. through all
sorts of weather, only to land OH
schedule with fresh garden.a and
a fresh smile for the electorate?
Parade Goes On
Top hat, gardenia and all, the
governor elected handed Mrs Rolpll
irto the old sway back victoria in
which a governor last rode to his
Inauguration 80 years ago, hoped
in beside her, flashed the old Ro!ph
smile for the bystanders--and' the
parade was on,
Eight miles of it. Covered wag-
ons and stage coaches, oxcartS and
ancient locomotives, high wheeled
rickerty old Wells Fargo Express
coaches and weatherbeaten RED
Mail stages; varied here by a COM
pany of bearded miners in blue
Jeans and red shirts, with pickaxes
over their shoulders; there by au-
tomobiles bearing representatives
of the first Chinese families Of. Sar
Francisco and Sacramento
In a huge truck weaved and
bobbed the giant papier mache
dragon of the four families, des-
cendants of the Chinese parti-
cipants in '49 history. In an
other sat a dozen of the faircst
debutantes of Chinatown.
"HizzOner," as ROlph was af-
fectionately known to San
Franciscans, had progressed ut
the head of the parade to re-
viewing stand in Capitol Park
and every unit in the huge par
ade stopped for a minute to
greet him.
AS Rolph dismounted from the
ancient victoria, he completed his
triumph over the rain, removing his
dripping topper, he clambered up
on the platform and said:
q. and I feel that the greatest
blessing which could possibly come
upon us all is this bounteous rain
hope that it will be the forerun-
ner of real prosperity for the state
and nation!" California has need
ed rain badly, and the crowd roareo
its pleasure
When the float from one CT the
mountain counties came by, young
girl did what hundreds do to this
smiling man-took what with most
lgovernors would have been liber-
lty. Packing handful of snow the
mountain delegation had hauled
down with them. she tossed snow
ball at the governor elect. And the
governor elect caught it like g
Mickey Cochrane and tossed II
back.

LOTS MATERIAL AVAILABLE
 FOR X|GH SCHOOL TEAM

Ample material appears to be available ill the Seward high school
 this year to provide for an excellent team and which team should prove
 a strong contender for basketball
 laurels this year if early practice interest indicates anything.
 Coach R. White, of the Seward
 high school team, had IS likely
 candidates turn out for practice last night, the majority of whom have had previous basketball ex- perience and some of whom are one, two and three year lettermen. The following players turned out for practice last night and prob ably will manifest a great deal of basketball interest for the rest of the season: Barton Stanton, Ken meth O'Neel, Milton O'Neel, Bjarne Tollbom, Arne Tollbom, Norman l Nilsson, AdOlph Rogers, Eddie Man they, Edwin Sandbeck, Andy Peter son, Edwin Larsen, Clarence Lar sen, Benny Benson, Richard Reed ! and Nick Heidel.
 The first game will probably be played in about two weeks time, but as yet no definite announce ment has been made. The first game will probably be between the Seward high school boys and the so-called Alumnae team. .

Feed The Birds

Farmers and all agriculturists are
to by State Game Warden
LeCompte to feed the birds, which
are so necessary to the success of
agricultural pursuits, while the game
birds furnish sport and recreation
during the short open season.
The appeal is made to city dwell
lers, who can, by placing suet and
grain around their homes in suitable
places, attract the song and insec-
tivorous birds which are selfappoint-
ed guardians of our lawns and flow
er beds.
The Game Division of the Conser-
walton Department of Maryland,
through the District Deputy Game
Wardens of the twenty-three coun-
ties, will gladly furnish feed gratis to
those interested who are not able or
willing to provide it.

"Dirt and disease, misery and fire

expenditure of approximately 1922
for the care of each of the helpless

So asserts the report of the Com
mission on Almshouse for the West
ern Shore, filed with Governor AL
bert c.. Richie.
The commission recommends that
an infirmary for the fourteen coun-
ties be built to replace the present
system of county almshouses, to be
financed by bond issue against the
fourteen counties.
1t also suggests that provision be
made to care eventually for $50 in
mates and states that it has been
advised that erecting and equipping
an institution of that size would cost
approximately 81, 100000.
Simultaneously with the creation of
the Western Shore commission one
also was appointed for the Eastern
Shore. This commission, in a report
filed, also recommended central
infirmary to replace the poor farms
of the Eastern Shores nine counties
and estimated the cost of building

promised for this year by r. K.

Long one of the nations

of the newspaper by using
$500 dailies and weeklies to
announce it's new 1881 car in
November, the largest news

since the inception of the
company. This move was
made despite sub-normal bust

activities of manufacturers in
and out of the automobile in
dustry.
eve made this move" Mr..
White explained, because
we are in direct accord with
the frequently expressed view
that the only way to make bad
business good and good bust
ness better is to put abnormal
effort into your activities when
you face subnormal conditions.
''Not only did we carry the
largset. newspaper schedule we
ever used, but we enlisted new
forms of advertising to put our
new car message across. Bolh
The radio and the motion pic
'ure screen were added this

Controversy still RACES over the
findings of the Wickersham Com
mission, with the vets wailing dis
mally. They are sadly disappoint-
ed and aggrieved lot.
Predicting in season and out, that
the Commission would recommend
repeal, why wouldn't they wall when
the. Commission as whole declared
SO emphatically against repeal of the
18th Amendment or the return of
the saloon; opposed the Federal or
State Governments going into the
liquor business; opposed modifica-
ton to permit sale of light wines or
beer, and states a real and signifi-
cant gain has followed national pro-
hibition. Among which are increas-
ed efficiency of labor, decrease in
industrial accidents, increase in saw
ings, and Improvements in standards
of living.
Added to this is President
Hoover's declaration in opposition to
repeal and his stand squarely be-
hind Law Enforcement.
Hence the vets will carry on with
their campaign Of Misrepresentation,
which is the one big card they have
always played.

SAYS COUNTIES ARE LACK
ING in GOVERNMENT

County governments were set up
in days of oX-carts, and were built
on principles no longer alive in this
country, DR.. Chas. J. Galpin, econ
omist in charge of farm population
and rural life of the United States
Department OF Agriculture, said in
an address at College Park.
Speaking before the annual confer
ence of Maryland County and Home
Demonstration agents, in session at
the University of Maryland, he eX-
pressed the opinion that this malad:
justment would be among the last to
be corrected, because the present
county units and the system OF
county governments were intrench-
ed so firmly in politics.
lDr. Galpin reviewed the attempts
by number of States, particularly
North Carolina, Virginia, and New
York, to remedy this situation, and
pointed out the necessity for efforts
along this line as one of the most eff
fective means toward solving the
problem of increasing taxation.
He referred to the consolidation OF
schools as a move for efficiency and
economy, and complimented Mary
land on the progress made in that
line. He asserted, however, that
the consolidated schools were too
small, and predicted that eventually
they would be merged into larger
units.
Principles of business have been
so modernized, he said, that one per-
son could take care of as much bust
Miss as six formerly did, and local
governments, which are responsible
for large increase in taxation,
should be so organized as to take
advantage of the more efficient me.

Illuminating Animals

The COW is not the only animal
that Eliminates or 'chews the cud";
the class of ruminants includes also
sheep, goats, camels. llamas, CRATES
and deer. In all of these animals
the stomach is divided into several
compartments. The food is swal-
lowed hastily and passes to the first
or second compartment. Later when
the animal is resting, it is able to
bring back this ''cud'' into the mouth
for further chewing. After thorough
mastication, this is swallowed again
and passes to the third and fourth
ton. The rabbit does not belong to
this family of animals.
