MILITARY TRAINING UPHELD

Compulsory military training in the
University of California and the Univer-
sity of California at Los Angeles, has
been upheld by decision of the univer-
sity regents.
The action of the regents was prompt
ed by refusal of two students at U.C.L.A.
TO participate in the R0.T.C. activities
at their college They took their case.

body of the universities and in view of
the adverse verdict, are expected to take
the matter into the state courts for

1t is understood the students and their
families have conscientious objections to
military training This being the case
they should pick out for their education,
some university where military training
Is not part of the curriculum. 1t has
such status at the state universities and
the students must have been fully aware
of that fact before enrolling
The regents viewpoint that military
training is little more than physical
training, is we'll taken True, the stu
dents wear uniforms, carry arms, and are
given military drill, but there is nothing
of the war machine or militarism as the
term is generally understood, about the
R.O.TC.
No better proof of this can be cited
than the attitude of the student body.
The star grid performer, good hur-
dler, or pitcher who can strike them
out, is a far greater campus hero than
the snappiest R.O.T.C. officer who ever

1t is not to be construed from this that
the military training is namby-pamby
sort of affair The contrary is true.
Based on the military rule of discipline
and obedience to recognized authority,
the RO.T.C. offers students something
which most of them badly need.
Our continually changing mode of liv-
ing has we'll nigh destroyed the old
fashioned land splendid) virtues of obed-
fence and discipline, insofar as the fam
lily and the school are concerned. Too
many youngsters of student age, within
and without the universities, are of the
'smart-aleck" type, merely because they
never have been taught obedience and
discipline.
Witness the two youths in the present
instance, entering a school with whose
rules they certainly must have been IA

rules
University military training will make
more good citizens than bad citizens. 1t

protection for the nation if the time

that latter consideration is worthless.

DECLARE WAR
ON MUSKRATS

BERKELEY, Oct. IL. U.P)-War
on m5skrats to save the entire

Muskrats, colonized on a farm

which bar their access to lower
Pit river, Sacramento feeder.
In April of 1881, 600 muskrats

Before long they appeared outside

great numbers up and down the
stream.

two.

Illness of William Nuckles Doak,
secretary of labor in the Hoover ad-
ministration, recalls the bitter fight
Green and the federation made to
prevent his appointment. The job
had always been held by an A. F. l..
cardholder. Green went to the
White House to oppose Doak, who
was lobbyist for railroad brother
hoods not affiliated with the fed
Grafton. AS Green left the White
House he made public statement
that a federation man must be ap-
pointed. Mr.. Hoover countered by
saying he would not be dictated to-
and promptly named Doak.
Miss Frances Perkins, present Ia
Dor secretary, made great impress
sion on the federation when she
addressed them. Although Green
and others fought her appointment,
they seem to have come around to
the view that she is not only q
charming lady but a spirited de-

AGNES SALES

Budgets have been approved for

newspaper advertising, today

of the Cereal Products Refining
corporation, whose subsidiary cor
poration, the California Brewing
Association brews Acme Clarke Is
today leaving on month s eastern
trip.
1.-The present leadership of Acme
beer can be directly traceable to
the continuous newspaper advertis-
ing campaign which the company
has utilized even before the sale of
beer was legally possible. Our
campaign was the first one in the
United States to advertise beer and
our newspaper appropriation has
been increased every month since
then and today, as Always, repre-
sents the bulk of our advertising
expenditure.
81 do not believe that it suffices
just to make a superior product, .
continued Clarke, "but advertising
must be used to tell the public
about it. The fact that the sale Of
Acme Beer, according to the pub

by the state board OF equalization,
shows that Acme Beer has led in
sale for four consecutive months

West and shows a popularity pref

; I should have forgotten to ask my
wife what she wanted me to do
with the leaves after I had them
all nicely raked into piles. But
know what I can do" he said,
brightly.
"What?" asked the bug.
Il can scatter the leaves again
it will not take long," said the
bunny uncle. Then I'll go ask my
wife what she wants done with
them. Then I'll come back and rake
them up again. I'll have it all
planned"
SILLY! Don't DO that!" laughed
the Bug. Leave the leaves-ha,
that's almost a joke!" he chuckled.
But no matter. Leave the leaves
piled up as they are and go ask
your wife what to do with them"
II will" said Uncle Wiggily So
away he hoped leaving the leaves
as the Bug jokingly said, piled in
while he went to have a conference
with his wife. And the Bug went
down to the three and four cent
store to buy some oysters.
While Uncle Wiggily was in his
bungalow, the Fox and the Bob
Cat came sneaking into his yeard.
Seeing the big pile of leaves and
the rake the Bob Cat mewed and
said:
Uncle Wiggily can't fool us! He
is hiding under that pile of leaves,
Mr.. Fox"
Fright you are" growled the Fox,
This time we'll catch him! He
must have seen us coming and he
burrowed under the leaves. Now
you jump on the pile from one
side and I'll jump on it from the
other
Between us we'll have him.
snickered the Bob Cat.
The two Bad Chaps leaped to-
gether on the pile of leaves. OF
course Uncle Wiggily wasn't there
at all, being in the bungalow with
his wife. But the Fox thought the
Bob Cat was the rabbit and the
Bob Cat thought the Fox was the
rabbit as they met beneath the
leaves and bit and scratched and
clawed and nibbled and nipped.
Finally they scratched the leaves
so they could see each other and
