OF Paleontological Interest

The La Brea pits are in the city Of
Los Angeles, Calf Numbers of very
interesting archaeological specimens
of fossil animals have been recovered
from them. La Brea is the Spanish
word for tar and these pits are so
called because of deep tar forma-
ton which held the bones Of these
prehistoric animals in a fine state Of
preservation. The pits are located in
public park on Wiltshire boulevard,
which is the main arterial highway
leading from the heart of Los Angeles
due west to the ocean.

"The last census was taken April
Is, 1880, a few months after the
beginning of the business decline
that ushered in wholesale unem-
ployment. Before drawing any
conclusion in regard to gainful
workers one must ask himself the
question, how did this unemploy-
ment affect the records Of those
gainfully occupied? Not at all, as
far as those were concerned who
already had an occupation. The
primary question of the census
concerned the possession of an &C.
cupation, not that Of a Job. 1t may,
however, be conceded that the pre-
vailing unemployment may have
prevented a relatively small num-

other circumstances would prob
ably have done so. With this. 1t

LARGE CITIES ALIKE
am not speaking now of Chi

practically every large city in the
United States.

the day, know their onions" On
election days they are busy with

Later. an attorney for one Of the
defendants accused of robbing
a truck assured US that II his client
had known that they were under
the protection Of a federal law he
would have never undertaken the
theft.
UP TO VOTERS
In view Of the fact that we must
elect our local law enforcement
officials-such as judges, mayors,
prosecuting attorneys--I think the
remedy for organized crime can lie
only with the voters.
There should be enough honest
voters to elect honest men who will
be above the influence Of machine
politicians--we must get at the
situation through the ballot box.
Determined public officials can
destroy gangs without much difh-
Guilty. All they have to do Is to
cut off the sources of gang revenue
by closing gangs gambling
houses, its vice resorts, stopping
the sale Of It's liquor, etc. Such re-
sorts could not operate in the race
Of a determined campaign to close
them.
This will take from gang leaders
their power Of money, and without
money--and plenty Of it--no gang
can possibly survive. With such
organizations, money Is everything.
XIII the revenue, and you Kill the
gang.
Obviously. the question may be
asked: what Is voter to do,
when both sides have nominated
machine candidates?" The only
answer IL that the business men
and the decent citizens Of the town
should take matters into their own
hands by nominating candidates
who are not affiliated with either
machine. Certainly, there must be
enough decent citizens to do this;
certainly there are plenty of hon
est men to run for public office
with their support.

Easter Music and

Beautiful Service Woven
Into Pageant at First
Church

Some OF the choicest Easter
music has been selected to weave
anew the resurrection story from
the four Gospels, and will be pre-
scented as a pageant, at o'clock
Sunday afternoon, at the First
church. Those who witnessed the
Christmas pageant, in December,
will be happy to know that many
who aided in that production are
preparing to equal its charm and
spirit in this new Easter drama,
which Is designed to carry all
Christians back to the time and
place Of the resurrection of our
Lord.
At p. m. the lights will be
dlmmed as the pageant opens with
the prelude, Chopin's Funeral
March, recalling the events of Good
Friday and also tho darkness OF
the world before the birth OF
Jesus. AS the narrative unfolds,
the choir will sing Sir John Stain

Of the nativity Is to reconstruct the

Fifty Per Cent Had Paying
Positions in 1920, Only
40 Per Cent in 1890
Reason for This Is Con-
tanned in Analysis of Or
fetal School Attendance

New York, March ga small

the United States was engaged ir

1920. OF the total population II
years Of age and upward sos pei
cent had gainful occupations ir
1920 and 49.5 per cent had gain.
full occupations in 1880. The rea'
son for this is revealed in an analy.
sis of the official statistics of school
attendance, published In the cur
rent issue of the bulletin OF
the national industrial conference
board. This analysis disclosed
that more young persons were a,
school In 1880 than ten years be-
fore.
School attendance Is generally
compulsory up to the age Of IA
years; between IA and 16 1t IL
partly optional, and after 16,
wholly optional. In 1920 there
were S,594.00O children between
the ages of 10 and 10, of whom
93.2 per cent attended school. Ten
years later there were 100000
children between those ages. OF
whom 95.3 per- cent attended
school. Again, in 1920 there were
3.90S,000 children of IA and Is
years of age, of whom 1913 per cent
attended school, and in 1880 there
were 4.67S,O00 of these ages. of
whom 1878 per cent were at school.
Perhaps the most significant COM
parison, however, Is that of the
persons of 16 and II years of age.
In 1920 there were 3,82S.000 of
these ages and only 42.9 per cent
attended school, In 1880 the num-
Der had increased to 4,663,000, and
the percentage at school had risen
to 57.3 per cent. The percentage
of those between IS and 20 attend
ing school also rose, from 62.2 per
cent to 67.7 per cent, between 1920
and 1880, and the number of per-
sons FL years old and over who at
tended school increased from 344.-
7S9 in 1920 to 1,034,7S3 in 1880.
The fact that there was so great
an increase in the number of those
attending school after having
passed the age when school is COM
pulsory Is evidence, in the opinion
of the conference board, that a
much larger proportion of families
could dispense with the productive
services of their young persons
than ten years ago. That more
families could permit their chill
dren to continue at school is strik
ing demonstration of the general
advance of the standard of living
between the years 1920 and 1890.
"Under a low standard OF living"
