Without a dissenting vote, the In

day passed to third reading the
amended senate old age pension bill
which made the maximum age for
qualification for pension 10 and
gives counties optional right to

The house mandatory measure

Proponents of the old age pension

But Miss Hazard, the supein-

going to be coddled or pafrpered.
They will be prisoners, just as

cipline. They will have to work OF
study all day, and the work will
be hard.
Miss Hazard explains that the

in its title-reformatory.

each prisoner for a normal, law
abiding life in the outside world

that when she is released she will
be able to support herself. A
psychiatrist and psychologist will
visit the institution regularly to
correct mental quirks that stand in
the way of a normal life.
There is no wall about the
grounds. There is, instead, a seven
foot wire mesh fence; but, as Miss
Hazard points out, this was built
more to keep i11truders out than to
keep the inmates in.
The reformatory will be open to
all women offenders who draw SEN
fences of longer than six months.

Somewhat belated, but coming to
cynical members of the district at

such a thing as conscience in the
world. a letter was received yester-
day afternoon in Elmer w. Heald' S
office from an Abilene, Texas, resi-
dent offering testimony should 1t
be needed in deciding the blame for
an automobile accident on the Holt
vile. highway July 10 or 20, 1890.
The writer, E. E. Reynolds, told
in the letter of seeing a serious crash
in which he believed it was possible
a young man was killed. He did
not stop to investigate, since he was
going from Los Angeles to Abilene
and wished to make as much time
as possible. and since others had
already stopped to aid the injured,
he said.
Later thought, however, convinced
him he was the only person who
actually saw the accident, and he
wished to offer his testimony should
it be needed, Reynolds wrote.
He asked whether the victim of
the accident had died, and if SO
what action had been taken. Hazel

H0N0RING EDISON

DRESIDENT HOOVER'S suggestion
that all electric lights in the United
States be turned off tonight for one
minute at an hour corresponding to
o'clock Pacific time, as tribute to the
late Thomas Edison, will meet with the
approval Of many who see in this their
only opportunity to pay homage to one
OF the greatest figures in American his
tory
It is not proposed that commercial
lighting shall be eurtailed. The sugges-
ton to cut off all power at its source for
one minute, was rejected by the Edison
family as being dangerous to life and
industry and contrary to the spirit of
him who Is to be honored
Distinguishing the lights will rest with
individuals. They cannot be dimmed
without causing the DINNER to remem-
Der Edison and the benefits which he
brought to mankind.
The electric light is so much a part of
our everyday lives that we seldom take
the brief moment required to be thank
ful to its inventor. Tonight will give us
the opportunity to do so.
To some the plan may appear to be
overly sentimental. Perhaps it is but
It is sentiment such as this that makes
the world little better
It is fine to accord due homage to
notable flyer, star of the diamond or
gridiron, champion pugiliSt or some
other material celebrity. How much bet
ter it is to pay tribute to one who made
the world better and life happier through
his labors. Edison was a benefactor to
mankind and all of us are his debtors
who should be glad to decrease the debt
even a little.
The Presidents request is worthy the
consideration of all.

try hard times are blamed on the tariffs.
