1--WE must see that the spiritual
and moral outlook of the people
of California is the equal of the
beauty of the state" said DR.. Nor
man Fenton, head of the state de-
partment of institutions, in a talk
given before the Ell Centro Cham
ber of Commerce yesterday noon.
1T is no longer a question OF
whether or not persons will want to
come to our state but of what kind
of persons will come and what kind
of society will be developed"
DR.. Fenton told of the splendid
schools of the state, and of the ad-
Vanced work which has been and
is being done to promote the physi-
cal welfare of children and adults.
The idea of promoting the physical
welfare of the children through
public health agencies was new
one 30 years ago, stated the speak
er as the idea of promoting the
mental welfare of children through
public agencies is a new one today,
but the time is coming when the
public will understand that the
mental welfare of the child is as
important as the physical.
At the present time the travel
ing clinic of schoolg uidance is Wis
iting Ell Centre for educational
purposes and to demonstrate with
sample cases what can be accom-
plished by the study of the child,
and the home and through the CO.
operation of the community, the
parent and teachers, whereby the
viewpoint of those dealing with
children is broadened and the
problem of the individual child is
understood The speaker stated
that there are two extreme types
of children which present problems;
one is the criminally inclined type
which affects others, the second
is the unhappy, inefficient type
which is personally affected. Be-
tween these two are all types of
problem child, from the intensely
bright individual to the one whose

NEBRASKA WILL
WAGE WARFARE
UPON INSECTS

LINCOLN, Neb., March 10. W,P)-
War has been declared in Nebraska
on the yellow and black grasshop-
pers which last summer ruined
North Nebraska grain fields.
1t promises to be a war that will
rival those against the fruit fly,
the boil weevil and the corn borer
of other sections.
Farmers, county agricultural
agents and insect experts have
sounded a warning that control
measures adopted throughout the
state early this year will deter
mine the extent of grashopper
ravages next summer.
Billions of eggs, deposited in the
soil last fall by the 'hoppers are
ready to hatch with the first warm
rays of the summer sun, unless an
extremely cold wave grips the
northern part of the state or unless
farmers take precautionary meas
ures.
Tests have shown that the grass
hopper eggs will resist tempera-
ture eight or 10 degrees below zero
without cracking.
State entomologists have made
surveys to determine the number of
grasShopper eggs deposited in the
soil in an effort to map the con-
troll measures. The survey was
made of 629 fields in 81 of the
states SO counties. This showed
that the hoppers of last summer
had migrated during the fall and
deposited eggs in all sections of the
state.

ALUMINIUM CARS
MAY CUT COSTS
FOR RAILROADS

PITTSBURGH, March 10. U.P)-
Aluminium hopper cars, which it is
claimed will reduce the weight of
an average freight train by 600
tons, or the equivalent of nine
loaded cars, may help railroads to
reduce operating expenses.
Executives of railroads and lead
ing industrial concerns of this dis
trict, who inspected the first of the
rev cars at the plant of the United
States Aluminium company, New
Kensington, Pa, are considering
possibilities of extending their use.
The cars, made of aluminium
alloys, said to have the same
strength as steel, are 21,2O0 pounds
lighter than ordinary freight cars.
The saving in dead" weight in the
cars would permit addition of nine
loaded cars to an average 60-car
freight train without increasing
the total load, it was said.
The first group of 10 cars were
built by the Canton, O., Car works
for a subsidiary company of the
aluminium corporation. They will
be used to haul ere.

Fundamental improvement of the

Purchases have been confined most

This is due largely to the change in

APARTMENT RENTER
SHOULD STUDY TAXES
Separate Listing of Items to Go to
Collector Suggested for
Indirect Payers.

A means of bringing to the attention
of the apartment renter how he con-
tributes to tax funds is suggested In an
article published in Printers Ink.
Perhaps one way to stir to action
that part of the lay public which does
not pay taxes directly would be to item
ize rent bills, separately listing that
part of the payment which goes to the
tax collector" the article states
This has been done for several years
In at least one cooperative apartment
house. II this idea were logically ex-
tended, perhaps many indifferent be-
cause unwilling taxpayers would put
some of the old punch into ''vox populi. y
Such a campaign certainly would aid
in focusing attention on local taxes,
which are vastly more burdensome than
those of the Federal Government, 1t Is
declared by the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute. which reports that % per cent
of the family income goes to pay gov

The budgets of various govern

by a courageous and intelligent reduc-

taxes should be increased as last re-
sort when necessary to balance sound

declared.

may make credit more readily available
